I've revisited these love songs with affection and a degree of trepidation... old frames! All of them have appeared on previous albums, as shown above. "Just Good Friends" is a complete reworking, and it was doing this which started me off on this project; "Again" and "If I Could" use live performences as backing tracks. Otherwise, these versions are the original masters, redubbed and mixed. In all but out cast ("Been Along So Long") the lead vocals is new: the tense is present... the song remains the same?
