A full cd with only two songs?
Well, not excactly, it's all the know versions of two songs.
The label gives us the takes of "Solitaire" and "Moody blue".
I must admitt, "Solitaire" is not my favorite song,but on this cd i've come to like it more.
The overdubbed versions by RCA(for completeness also included on the disc) are too overdubbed and muffled to enjoy the track.
The undubbed and newly found takes gives us a MUCH better expierience, in fact, "Solitaire" is very well done!!

The "Moody blue" takes are excellent too, a real joy to hear!!

This cd combines all the known takes(from RCA and FTD) with their newly found versions in a very good quality.
The booklet is very tasteful too, with lots of info and great 1976 pics(altough there are some from '75 too).

It's a quality product with NEW import outtakes, in these days a rarity.
This is not a cd you will play daily, but for research and collector purposes it's essential.
