I’d like to see them go back and do the early-mid 70′s albums, too. It’s ridiculous that an artist of her stature has anything out of print. At least make it all available digitally.

I am glad that Europe is putting out the Dolly (2 on 1) c.d.’s However, I do wish they would go in order… They skipped two very important titles: The Great Pretender and Heartbreak Express. Yes, I know the Great Pretender was on c.d. back in 84′, but only for a limited time. Besides, I would rather have both of these titles on one c.d. and remastered than to have the original Great Pretender.

I agree also 100% about the U.S. reissuing the same titles again and again!!! For instance: Love Songs, The Best of, The Very Best of, Gold, Essential, Encore, Super Hits, The Collection, Artist covering Artist, and etc… How many times are these U.S. distributers going to rename the same artists old material with a different cover and title? Do they really think we are this stupid???
The above really makes me mad regarding another country artist “Juice Newton”. We have all of the above titles on this artist. All of her original 80′s albums (which only include seven c.d.’s) have been put on the format of c.d. except for 1 title: “Dirty Looks”. Then Raven Records released a ridiculous (2 on 1) c.d. of “Juice” & “Quiet Lies”, which have BOTH already been released on c.d. before, and they did NOTHING with “Dirty Looks”.
I went to Amazon, and they have over 20 compilations of Juice Newton, but no company has ever released “Dirty Looks”. What surprises me even more is how do you get this many compilations with only seven releases? Why not just release “Dirty Looks” onto c.d. for the fans and as a tribute to the artist… People want the entire catalog of an artist at least offered… What is the point of a reissue
if your not going to do the whole catalog?
So, it doen’t matter if your a Dolly fan or Juice fan, the same old thing is happening… People are wanting older titles from our favorite artists, not the new stuff or another compilation, but the older titles!!! If BMG/Germany can release: The Great Pretender & Heartbreak Express, then at least they finished what they started…

I would pay Bear Family money for all of Dolly’s early RCA work on CD, but it’s ridiculous to me that RCA keeps reissuing the same damn albums stateside. This is going to be the third time “Jolene” is issued on CD already. Give me a 2-CD set of Dolly unreleased tracks and I’ll buy it, but stop force feeding me music I already have to get the stuff I don’t. There’s supposedly an Emmylou Harris rarities box set coming out this summer, so maybe it will provide a blueprint for future collections by other artists.

I have all of these albums (on vinyl) and I rarely pull any of them out . Dolly’s earlier stuff is much better, and at some point in the future Dolly would regrroup and start putting out better albums again
