"The Dolphins" Ruined Nov 07, 2009 The combination of these two excellent albums is an idea that would have worked perfectly were it not for the ruined recording from a too-often played vinyl of the keynote song of the "Marrying Maiden" album, the wonderful cover of the Fred Neil masterpiece, "The Dolphins." What was recorded on this instead was an inexorably ruined-by-overplay rendering of this fine song. How unprofessional!

It's Beautiful Music Mar 30, 2009 The eclectic sound of It's A Beautiful Day was way ahead of its time when these albums came out 40 years ago.
Most of you reading this know this band from its AOR FM standard "White Bird" but every cut on both albums is great.
Unlike other reviewers, I personally find the audio quality acceptable.
My only quibble is the lack of liner notes.
At any rate, this is a great bargain and I recommend it to all.

Super music, but sound quality in recording lacking Mar 02, 2009 I already had copies of both CDs from when they originally became available and was ordering this combined album to hopefully improve sound quality. They were supposedly digitally remastered. But, when I got the CDs, the base was exaggerated and the violin wasn't nearly as prominent as it is supposed to be. The price for two CDs was very good and they were also offered in MP3 format, so I had a suspicion when I ordered that someone downloaded the music as MP3 and then burned the CDs from that much lower quality recording. When I got them, I still suspected this was true. I also had a similar experience with another "digitally remastered CD available in both formats from Amazon. Avoid the very cheap $8.99 CDs unless you are prepared to deal with MP3 level quality or are confident they still use the original CD cover, etc. I did get another great recording very cheap with the original cover, and it sounded great.
Worth every penny! Feb 08, 2009 I had forgotten what a versatile group they were! Great to revisit the music of yesteryear and hear such great sounds

THIS is the one to buy Nov 21, 2008 two for one-and the guy who has the tapes in america has made millions and hasnt given the band a PENNY
Its been remastered-although quite a while ago After 3 lawsuits, and changing the cover art each time, SONY gave up and made this cover.
Actually I like it in its simplicity (apparently, if im getting good info, the rights have reverted back to the LaFlames-and all should be rereleased shortly)
