"Peter Allen exploded on the music scene in an extraordinary way in the early seventies as a singer/songwriter of great composing and tremendous performing skill. Starting with catchy sets of songs in the beginning, by the mid-seventies something happened and from "Just Ask Me I've Been There", "I Go To Rio", "I Honestly Love You", "Quiet Please, There's A Lady On Stage" and numerous other classics, depth and dimension that came in to his work was peerless & tremendous and this high level of quality continued to the end making him one of the most exciting concert acts in decades with all of his recordings becomming instant classics and memorable collections that have become timeless works of art filled with great substance and are a joy to experience. This magnificent collection spans mid-seventies to mid-eighties filled with stunning examples of Peter Allen's extraordinary talent and is a great place to start for anyone not familiar with this legendary giant whose sold out highly entertaining concert events coast to coast and from small clubs to long engagements at the famed "Radio City Music Hall" all became legendary memorable events. This sublime collection makes it clear what the excitement was all about and is one to enjoy over and over again!!! Bravo Peter Allen and we miss you!"
