I don't find the music, per se, disappointing. I haven't listened enough to determine if there are any gems or not. There are a few tracks that, as I said, are appealing at first blush. Is it her best material? Perhaps not. But the big disappointment to me is the quality of the recording.Here is an artist whose releases on redbook have a reputation for sonic purity -- at least the ones I am familiar with, and I don't know them all. I had great expectations, looking forward to one of the few original SACD releases by a major artist (there have been so few!). Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed by what seems to be a rather shoddy, poorly produced recording. I don't know this record label, "New West," but the impression I get is this thing was produced on a shoestring.
I'm not questioning your musical judgement at all. What I am saying is that I would have been delighted, even with the material on the recording, if they had done justice to SACD.
Why record something on Fisher-Price equipment and then release it on SACD? That's what annoys me about THIS record.

I don't catch your drift. What are you referring to with "Pirates"? I don't get around much, you know.
she followed up with a record called "Pirates". A nice LP. But, in my opinion, the sound was not as good as her first.

Thanks for the info. I have never heard the self-titled debut. I will definately acquire it. If it's in the same league as Pop Pop sonicially, I will be delighted.
