For album 'Diana Ross Last Time I Saw Him'
As at December 6, 1973 - coinciding with the single 'Last Time I Saw Him' - which appeared Diana Ross album of the same title, this change was already clearly recognizable in the sound and is probably so many die-hard fan of the singer and the label Motown have surprised ,
Music:
Banjo sounds on a Diana Ross-Single? Yes, the new environment made possible that one could hardly imagine before or liked - 'Diana Ross goes country'. The single 'Last Time I Saw Him', with the start the album is actually orchestrated and sung in the style of country songs. Could that be fine? Yes, because the result is convincing because Diana Ross song so relaxed and laid back singing, that listening is great fun, which includes the lyrics contribute because
the poetry over a Lover, 'the mother already always distrusted' but the girl naively confided and who was last seen when he (with their money) in a (intercity) increased bus and since nothing heard from let tempted to smile.
And so the song debuted at # 1 (for 3 weeks) on the Billboard Adult singles chart and also placed itself quite well in several other chart lists. A short time later he was then gecovert by Country & Western singer Dottie West, reaching in its version number 8 in the Country & Western charts.
Otherwise, the album offers solid pop songs, with a slight jazz touch, the relaxed, luxurious and lushly arranged way. The title 'Love Me' +++ 'Sleeping' +++ 'Turn Around' stand out here again a little from and were deservedly to Diana Ross classics.
Sound quality:
It is a luxury version of the album, as a 24-bit remastered double CD from the house Hip-O Select, imprinted with 'Limited Edition' (now the high prices achieved lover); the sound is restored excellent, crystal clear and powerful.
In addition to the original stereo album provides CD 1, as a bonus, the Japanese Quadro sound version (listening to 2-channel stereo 'interesting' to :-)) - CD 2 contains unreleased songs and some alternative versions over which Fans of the singer certainly pleased.
Buy recommendation:
Although the original album at that time, after all, selling 200,000 copies, it has disappeared over time a bit from the memory of the audience. But before it will soon be completely unaffordable (Limited Edition), the acquisition of real fans could now definitely still worthwhile, because cheaper it would not soon be well. Sometimes it pays just not going to wait with the purchase because especially these small editions can be sought-after collectibles.
