What about the result? ... In inveterate fan since the sixties, I almost pre-order eyes closed. Now that the track-listing is known and we can get an idea via the MP3 sampler of Amazon.com, it has to return to Earth. With the exception of 'The Race Is On', all titles are already available in both boxes Bear Family (Just for What I am and Born To Sing). I want to believe, a priori, it is indeed "lost tapes" (sic), at most alternative outlets, but there's nothing lasting impression collector or disturb the ears connoisseur. In truth, these are titles that have been published on vinyl at the time.
What to do ... The first disc Connie Smith will fall into the public domain: the "low-cost" publishers will soon be rushing to make up for the carelessness of RCA / Sony. For the rest, the philistine would better better off purchasing the slightest RCA compilation (Essential) or similar (The hurtin'S All Over) than first discovered Connie Smith via these 'Lost Tapes' which Marty Stuart, husband of Connie Smith , recognizes that they have suffered a food accompanied by some embellishments menus respectful although very recent. However, these 11 tracks (decorated with two bonus on hardware support) say the legend and the superiority of Connie Smith on all its competing 60's and 70's (and, you can believe me, this is a sacred Areopagus sublime singers ). Great lady among the great country ladies, she did not make being a link between Patsy CLINE and Tammy WYNETTE.

This is because many albums Connie Smith are real "Elvis Country" feminine it is scandalous that RCA has left a formidable legacy sleep. So, for lack of better, you can rush on these supposed "lost tapes" that were not lost on everyone.
