Review
“In 1975, Elektra UK reissued Carly Simon's first two albums as a double-LP twofer. "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be," the lead-off track of the first album, in which the singer expresses reservations about getting married, benefitted from a sense of role reversal--it's such a guy sentiment, but sung by a woman, came across as a feminist statement. Nothing on the rest of the first album was quite as pointed, though the other songs maintained the same ambivalence toward romance. The one other standout track, "Dan, My Fling," in which the singer tries to rekindle a relationship with a man she has discarded, was, like the single, co-written by Jacob Brackman (in this case, with Fred Gardner, not Simon), suggesting that the real creative talent here was him and not her (especially since the writing credits also featured another four names). And since Simon, with her plaintive, proper, and relatively inexpressive voice, was such an unremarkable performer, her debut seemed inauspicious. But her second album found her extending the gutsy persona she had established on her first, notably on "Anticipation," "Legend In Your Own Time," and "I've Got To Have You." The last especially suggested a frankly passionate person whose vulnerability was a source of strength, not weakness, a valuable feminist trait Simon pursued in her later work.” by William Ruhlmann - AllMusic
Ultra High-Resolution (UHR) is a dual-layer hybrid SACD recorded with Direct Stream Digital Technology at a sampling rate of 11.2 MHZ and a frequency response of DC to 100KHz. In addition, a high-precision down-conversion is utilized for the CD layer (16bit/44.1kHz) to preserve the sonic integrity of the original DSD capture. The result: State-of-the-art sound on any machine that can play either standard compact discs or SACDs.
