"I LOVE THIS CD!! It has been years since I heard either of these albums in their entirety; I originally had Long Hard Climb in the 8-track format, and played it so much I had to replace it. Even though I was very familiar with the material, I was not prepared for the crystal clear sound from this remastered edition. Little harmonies and musical flourishes that I had never heard before! If you like Helen Reddy's music ( and what Baby Boomer wouldn't!?! ) this is a definite MUST-BUY!!"

ONE of the CLEAREST FEMALE POP VOCALIST~

"If you grew up in the 1970s, you'll be aware of HELEN REDDY as a pop vocalist. During that decade, she hosted THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL and was frequently a guest on the major talk shows with JOHNNY CARSON, MERV GRIFFIN, and MIKE DOUGLAS. She even appeared on film (playing a nun in AIRPORT 75) and was nominated for an OSCAR for her rendition of the title song in PETE'S DRAGON. Her vocal styling made an impact on the pop sound for female vocals in the early part of the 70s. She won a Grammy for her anthem; I AM WOMAN thus becoming a part of 70s pop culture. This compilation combines two of her strongest albums; the Grammy winning I AM WOMAN and the chart successful LONG HARD CLIMB. The CD is an educational experience in "the sound of the 70s". Pure pop that could be mellow! This CD should be considered as an "add to collection" for all serious collectors."

Good music ages like fine wine....it just gets better!!!!

"I just want to say I just recently got Helen Reddy's I Am Woman/Long Hard

Climb & Love Song For Jeffrey/Free & Easy CDs



I have been waiting years for her albums to be re-issued to CD so when I was looking into Amazon for music and

thought well just let me try Helen Reddy and see what thousand of

compilations are on offer and so to my amazement I saw these two CDs and

ordered them right on the spot.



The funny part is when these 4 albums were first released I was between

the ages of 7 to 10 and did not get into her music until I was a teenager.



But after not hearing these songs for over 20 some odd years and after

experiencing life I am listening to these songs in a whole new light.



I guarantee these CD are brilliant and they have been re mastered so the sound is so clear and Helen's vocals are crystal clear!!!!



I can't wait for the next 2 for 1 release!!!!"
