Natural High/Midnight Magic...

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Folks, don't get this two-fer! Several of the songs are 'singles', not the 12-inch versions. Motown, in their infinite wisdom, apparently decided to squeeze as much as they could with this 2 on 1 CD. So, in order to accomplish that goal, they used the 'single' versus the 'album' version of songs (e.g., "Flying High"). I bought the albums Natural High and Midnight Magic as a teen. The albums are great!! This Disc, especially given today's technology - is an unfortunate throwback to when they could get a maximum of 74 minutes onto a compact disc (anybody remember that infamous Prince disc where they had to leave off "DMSR"? This is the same case!).



Keep your money in your pocket! Five stars for the Commodores and their music on both albums - but three stars for the 'chopped up' disc!"
