Wounded Bird is apparently releasing next July (according to Amazon) 3 albums from Stevie Woods originally released in the early 80s including "Take me to your heaven" with the Top 40 hits "Steal the night" and "Just can't win'em all" not available on CD in the US.

Thanks a million for the heads-up, Rnell!!! I also credit Wounded Bird. For years, they alone have identified a niche of finally making available a straightforward, no extra-bells-and-whistles, "we'll probably sell a few thousand" version of LPs on CD. Always at a fair price, and always from tape, not vinyl. Unfortunately, the database doesn't have a feature such as "recently released on domestic CD for the first time" on it. And while I don't fault Pat in the least for this (and he does provide some new CD release "reviews"), I personally struggle to acquire/obtain info of this nature very much. Without this Board, many of the more recent catalog CD releases (that I always buy immediately upon release) would've certainly gotten past me (and others as well) I'm sure. So, Rnell (and anyone else keeping a careful eye out for things like this), keep posting! :)

As I recall, one of these albums contains Stevie's original version of "Through The Years", which would later become a huge hit by Kenny Rogers.

I didn't even know anyone recorded "Through the Years" before Kenny Rogers. It's hard to imagine Stevie even recording that song.
And btw, I have to agree with Jim on the greatness of Wounded Bird Records. Some people complain that their CDs don't include liner notes or any real remastering, but I'm just so glad someone's willing to release these albums on CD when no other label seems willing to do so. |

Here's the Discogs page for "Take Me To Your Heaven", which I have on vinyl.
