Continuing on with Robert Rheims, this is the better of the two albums he made in my humble opinion. I say that because it features a chorus, and they do a pretty good job with the many medleys here. This one is on his own Rheims Records label, with a credit to Liberty. I don't remember seeing any earlier version, but I could just not be thinking of them at the moment. This one doesn't seem to be as widely distributed as the earlier one, and is more frequently found in black vinyl than the pretty emerald green you see here. But there are still lots of colored vinyl versions out there, so it's not at all rare. Well worth the download this time, since it sounds great in stereo. This is
