Christine Perfect Album

[J.Miller]

I cant wait to listen. Thank you Jeremy for showcasing these albums.

Yes, thank you Jeremy. Love Jim Miller, he's fun to listen to. I believe Christine is horny all throughout her career.

Working at Arby's. Respect, my friend.

This is the Christine Perfect album, right? I've not got it yet. Probably I heard few of its songs long ago once.



So I see this album with the same track listing. Is there a difference with the original release? I mean alternate versions, mixes, etc.?

[My] car was the Christine McVehicle." So funny.

Different remaster minus "I'd Rather Go Blind" plus 1 outtake, 1 single version and 3 BBC tracks.

Yes, and if you haven’t heard the three BBC tunes, it’s worth getting

[FuzzyPlum]

Yep. Gone into the Sun in particular is a real ‘lost’ gem. Love it!!!!

You and I (and Homer and David and MacFan, etc) should do a video podcast of the Christine Perfect album. I could spend ten minutes insisting that “I Want You” is one of the most sexy-cool recordings on the planet…

That is a funky one! I love No Road is the Right Road, and Gone Into The Sun. Chris hated that album but i think it's got some good stuff on it.

I happen to think No Road is the best song on the album. It sounds like a ready-made hit to me. I wish she had pursued some of that stax-style soul on her later albums, but hey--I love where she ended up going :-)

Gone Into the Sun, It's You I miss, and Tell Me You Need Me are all really cool tunes that would have sounded great on the album. I'm assuming they weren't completed in time? That's the only explanation I can think of.

The two tunes I really I dislike are Let Me Go (Leave Me Alone) and When You Say.

Crazy 'Bout You Baby, to my ears, sounds a lot better on the Fleetwood Mac live-in-studio recording on Madison Blues. Kirwan and Spencer each take a turn at a solo, and each is excellent.

The last five songs on Christine Perfect are so pleasing to my ears!

oh yesss I forgot about Crazy Bout You Baby (watta great groove) and Tell Me You Need Me, i love those, too!!

When You Say is a danny kirwan song so we can't hold chris responsible for that. although i'll listen to that any day over Let me Go (Leave Me Alone.) that one is just awful.

Your love for this album inspires me. (truly). I've been listening to it a lot more closely. It's a great album.

Your vocals-only files have helped renew my enthusiasm…she was already singing well
