Did you include in your count Sandy's appearance on Richard's solo album?Contrast with what I consider to be a relatively weak song--Sandy--which appears 13 times !

There is also a fantastic close-up photo of Karen from this same photo shoot on the rear panel of the trifold album cover of their 1979 Japanese release "The First 10 Years". I was hoping to use it as part of a comment to the February Facebook posting of the "I Need To Be In Love" documentary but that doesn't appear to be an available option.I guess you could say by looking at my Avatar that I love the series of photographs done for this album. Even the photo inside the sleeve. By any chance, does anyone have a large pixel image of my avatar? If so, I'd love to get it.
If they would have replaced "Goofus," "Can't Smile Without You," and "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" with better songs this would have been a great album.
I think that 'Can't Smile Without You' is a good song, but Karen sounds feeble, dull and tired.
Here is Randy Edelman--writer of the song "You"--performing his song:
Btw, I also listened to some of the tracks on vinyl yesterday.
Interested in knowing your opinion of the recording quality of this album on vinyl compared to Horizon.
If they would have replaced "Goofus," "Can't Smile Without You," and "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" with better songs this would have been a great album. These three song, to me anyway, are too "hokey" that it affected my overall impression with this album. One of my least favorite if not THE least favorite of all their albums.
This is the CD that has the remix of I Need To Be In Love without the piano intro (great remix), also the CD contained the remix of A Kind Of Hush (again a great remix). Unfortunately the remaining tracks on the album did not transfer correctly to CD, the tracks sound muffled, the wind, strings and percussion have all lost their high frequencies.
Apparently this problem was sorted with the 30th Anniversary release. Exactly the opposite to what happened to Passage, sounded great on the original A&M CD, but sounded muddy on the 30th edition.
^^Yes, Chris...that is the exact CD which I have !
I never understood why that "intro" was cut from I Need To Be In Love.....
As for Goofus....as a single, perhaps not...but, a terrific offering from the duo
from an arranging and vocal perspective.
Again, I've loved
There's A Kind Of Hush from first hear in 1976,
keep the synth parts there !
