Product Description

Following the smash success of solo hit Ain't No Mountain High Enough, written and produced by Ashford & Simpson, Motown President Berry Gordy requested another album from the team. The result was the critically acclaimed Surrender, containing the now-classic singles Remember Me, Reach Out Ill Be There and the title track. Now, hot on the heels of Everything Is Everything: Expanded Edition, Hip-oSelect releases Surrender: Expanded Edition, containing the beautifully remastered original album and nine bonus tracks. Featured among the bonus material is Baby I'll Come, the only unreleased song from the Surrender sessions, plus incredible alternate mixes and versions. Closing out this special set is the original vocal demo by songwri/ producer Valerie Simpson, who also sat for a brand-new interview exclusively for the liner notes. The CD booklet contains a new essay, song-bysong commentary and trivia, andWOWseveral stunning, rare and previously unpublished photographs from the Harry Langdon sessions for the original LP jacket. It's a perfect complement to the beautiful music.

フレッシュ、且つ意欲的な作品で当時の音楽...

投稿日:2010/12/18 (土)

フレッシュ、且つ意欲的な作品で当時の音楽制作のレベルの高さが際立つ。 アップテンポからバラードまで名曲揃いで飽きさせることがない。 プロデューサーのアシュフォード・シンプソンの楽曲提供を含めての成果といえる。 ダイアナの声も若々しくて力感にあふれているのが魅力的だ。 音質は分離、解像度とも良好で最高レベル、リマスターは大成功だ。 70年代の良質なソウル・ポップスを代表する一枚だ。
