商品の説明

In the history of Motown there is only one person more important in its evolution and everlasting success than Berry Gordy, and that's Smokey Robinson - the only artist at the label to also become a class songwriter, producer and company vice-president. Smokey Robinson, who had reluctantly started a solo career after a brief intermission following his departure from his beloved Miracles, was by the late 1970s in full stride. And this volume in the Smokey Robinson Solo Albums series features one of his biggest solo hits. Love Breeze, a top 20 R&B chart LP, featured the top 10 hit single "Daylight & Darkness" as well as numerous album favorites. Where There's Smoke... was a step towards another new future for Smokey. While the disco-fied remake of "Get Ready," a song Smokey had originally written for the Temptations, was the lead single, it was "Cruisin'," a track tucked away at the end of the album, that became his new signature tune. It was everywhere in late summer 1979, hitting the R&B and Pop top five - and seems to still be everywhere today. As with the three previous volumes, this new set includes reproductions of the LPs' original artwork, and newly commissioned liner notes by UK author Peter Doggett, who interviewed Smokey specifically for this reissue series. Also included are the original lyrics as seen in the original albums' inner sleeves. We've also added a bonus cut: the 12-inch instrumental version of "Get Ready," previously available only on limited vinyl.

長らく待たれていたスモーキーロビンソンのソロアルバムを初CD化。
このvol,4は「LOVE BREEZE」「WHERE THERE'S SMOKE」の2in1CDです。
とにかくスモーキーロビンソンの曲はとても優しくて心を癒してくれます。
どんなに説明しても安っぽくなるくらい、とても素晴らしい名盤です。
勿論、収録曲全て良いのですが
なんと言ってもこのアルバムの白眉は
「LOVE BREEZE」収録の「Daylight&Darkness」。
こんな素晴らしい曲を僕達に届けてくれるスモーキーは、アメリカが誇る偉大な
ミュージシャンだと改めて実感いたします。
逆になぜ日本でCD化されないのかとても不思議です。
とにかく他のCDも合わせておすすめします。
是非聴いてみて下さい!!

5つ星のうち4.0 Excellent reissue of Love Breeze and Where There's Smoke
2011年2月18日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

For the 4th installment of this series the great folks at Hip-O have given us a stellar reissue of Smokey's 7th and 8th studio albums. While I'm no audiophile by any stretch, the first thing that struck me was how wonderful these tunes sounded in their remastered quality. Really crisp and clear.

Probably the only well known song on Love Breeze is Daylight and Darkness. And while sometimes you wonder what the A&R people are thinking when they choose singles for albums, this time they definitely got it right in my opinion. I think it is criminal that Daylight and Darkness didn't have a better fate (Billboard chart wise) as it is a hauntingly beautiful song. Coming off Deep In My Soul where none of the tracks were penned by Smoke, this tme around six of the eight were written/cowritten by him. By my vote, I really dig the groove of Why You Wanna See My Bad Side and absolutely love the Smokey/Marv Tarplin collaboration on Madam X. One of the joys of these rereleases sometimes is you get to rediscover a tune you had not heard in a dog's age. And Madam X was one of those moments for me. The rest of the songs are mostly decent, but there are no other standouts for me personally.

Where There's Smoke features Cruisin, Smokey's seminal track as a solo artist. I don't need to elaborate on its' brilliance. What's rather funny is how the rest of the album sounds nothing like it. Disco was in full swing in 79, and this album has the bass lines to prove it! It never fails to put a smile on my face hearing all the slap bass going on in a number of these tunes. There's the disco edged remake of Get Ready, the funky opening track It's A Good Night and the Smokey/Stevie collaboration I Love the Nearness of You. Outside of Cruisin, perhaps my favorite of the bunch is Share It. Simple, straight forward pop from the master. The rest of the album is a fun listen, but composition wise, there are really no other stand outs.

And just in case we hadn't been disco'd out enough, there's an instrumental bonus track of Get Ready. Six more minutes of dancing...

As for the digipak itself, there are some nice photos of Smokey from this time frame I've never seen before and the lyrics are thankfully provided to both albums for the first time in this series.

Bottom line - these albums most definitely feature a few magnificent tracks. While some of the other material hasn't necessarily dated extremely well, I rather enjoy most of these songs, (probably a bit more than I should)! These aren't Smokey's best records by a long shot, but this reissue does them proud. Four stars.

5つ星のうち4.0 SOLID SOUNDS FROM A MOTOWN ICON

The continued release of Smokey Robinson's solo albums reaches volume 4. As with the others in the series, these solo Smokey albums have improved dramatically with age.

Peter Doggett's fascinating liner notes pull together the threads around the recording of these two albums
When this project concludes, all his essays together will make a fascinating small book.

Two tracks I had completely forgotten. FEELING YOU, FEELING ME was co-written
and co-produced by the one and only Jerry Butler. I LOVE THE NEARNESS OF YOU
was co-composed by Smokey with Stevie Wonder. Two little gems which will be of
interest to others just for those names, I suspect.

MADAM X is a good, groovy track and sounds like a try out for CRUISIN'. The latter is my favourite of
Smokey's solo recordings and, as Peter's notes point out, it was his biggest solo hit to
date.

This is a fabulous series and a remarkable illustration of how Motown developed after the sensational sixties.
