Product Description
Product Description
For the first time on one superb Double CD, Raven presents three classic 1970s albums by one of the finest American singers of the pop era RITA COOLIDGE. The Lady's Not For Sale (1972), Fall Into Spring (1974) and It's Only Love (1975) established her career and feature the pure sounds of laid-back country-rock and West Coast soft-rock mixed with a soulfulness that marks them as polished, quality productions. Raven has previously combined her two platinum-selling hit albums Anytime Anywhere (1977) and Love Me Again (1978) on a great value 2-for-1 release (RVCD-277) containing her biggest hits 'Higher and Higher' and 'We're All Alone'. Originally recorded for A&M Records, these three albums showcase the renowned Coolidge stamp of soulful warmth which is predominant on splendid covers of 'Fever', 'Bird on the Wire', 'I'll Be Your Baby Tonight', 'Love Has No Pride', 'Desperados Waiting for the Train' and 'It's Only Love'. Produced by David Anderle and featuring crack session musicians (Booker T. Jones, Sammy Creason, Lee Sklar, Dean Parks, Jerry McGee, Al Perkins and her band the Dixie Flyers) plus stunning backing vocalists (Jennifer Warnes, Clydie King, Sherlie Matthews, Venetta Fields) these beautifully produced albums combine sophistication, flow and a sensual tone to make a completely satisfying whole. With superb quality audio, detailed liner notes and color booklet, this excellent release is a must for fans of sophisticated and soulful country-tinged pop.

Three Great Albums In One Set
May 14 2010
By jimwryt
- Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
The two Rita Coolidge albums I have always wanted to have on CD are finally here. FALL INTO SPRING and IT'S ONLY LOVE are both from the mid-70's and are beautifully done. I have waited for them to come out on CD for years. (THE LADY'S NOT FOR SALE is excellent too; it was released as a single CD some years ago.) The song selection on all three albums is first-rate and her delivery is, as always, perfection. Rita Coolidge can get to the essence of a lyric and her gorgeous vocals are a perfect match for these songs.
My favorites include "Bird on the Wire", "A Woman Left Lonely," "Love Has No Pride," "Hold an Old Friend's Hand," "Desperadoes Waiting for the Train," "We Had it All," "It's Only Love," and "Born to Love Me."
The package also includes extensive liner notes and photos. A great set at a great price.

Soul Penetration

Rita Coolidge speaks to the depth of the listener's soul from hers. Especially poignant tracks are "Bird on a Wire" and "Inside of Me." Both will be part of the program at my memorial service, should I ever succumb....
Her throaty, southern accent creates a memorable image of a lady hurting, experiencing love and life in the most heartfelt sense. Personal reflection and musical talent guarantee the listener of an incredible journey into a mature woman's romantic experience.

RITA COOLIDGE- 3 CLASSIC RELEASES IN A ROW --BEFORE HER POP STYLE
April 9 2010
By Nat G. Tombrello
- Published on Amazon.com

RITA COOLIDGE can sing it all pop, rock, soul, country, and all are represented on this 2 disc release. when
"anytime, anywhere" "love me again" were released i was hoping it just keeps going.and then "rita coolidge"
and "nice feelin" were released i really got excited. and i never thought her 3 best serious, classic,
releases were all gonna be next as this wonderful 2 disc set. rita coolidge with her smoky vocals with class,
style, and soul, are finally here. these 3 releases were released one after the other on her record label
A&M--these releases were before she hit it big with "anytime anywhere" which is a excellent release in itself
but these 3 are the ones where rita coolidge approached and made her own brand of signature sound on just
magnificent songs and great songwriter's. these 3 releases are all strong in song choices, production, and rita
makes them all her own. i mean "the lady's not for sale" which opens with "my crew" and gets better and better
with "bird on the wire" "i'll be your baby tonight" "everybody loves a winner" all of these and the other's
are performed with expert taste and sound quality. on to "fall into spring" now this one just moves into
another set of incredible songs "love has no pride", "hold an old friend's hand" and flows deeply into a great
gospel sound. my fsvorite "it's only love" soulful, bluesy, sexy, and sophiscated, with excellent song choices
"born to love me" one of the best songs rita has ever recorded. "it's only love" "don't let love pass you by"
and "late again" (this song is sung with such coolness and ease)i have all her releases as mentioned above
and own "satisfied" as a import CD. please release "heartbreak radio" and "never let you go" these are 2 more
great releases rita recorded. i love the way she sings with such passion, coolness, and ease, and every song
she records is given the same 100% respect and seriousness in the way she makes these songs just sound better.
thanks AMAZON for your excellent service. if you want good singing, great session bands, haunting vocals,
and a incredible package of some of the best songwriting then this is it
