The first time I heard the oldie's medley - before I picked up the album - was on FM radio. The DJ/station had edited it; Tony's DJ (which I have never liked) was cut. I still have it on tape somewhere. Many of these songs were new to me - I still enjoy listening to it. It would have been nice to have a full version of Our Day Will Come and One Fine Day.
Yesterday Once More and Sing are good songs; but it's very rare that I listen to any of them today. Who knew Sing would chart so high?
This Masquerade is 'up there' as one of my all time favorites - Karen's vocal and Richard's piano / arrangement are great; a pretty sophisticated/elegant peformance. I wish they would have recorded more Leon Russell tunes.
I never understood why Jambalaya made the "NOW" side; Hank Williams hit was in 1952 - which makes this song 'older' than those included in the "THEN" medley. I believe, around this time - 1973 - John Fogerty's Blue Ridge Rangers had a hit with it as well - which made it even more puzzling for the C's to include it.
I Can't Make Music is great too, and unlike others I also enjoy Heather.
