Juice Newton - Angel Of The Morning

   A very strange case.  The song had already appeared on several CDs in its full LP length prior to Forever 80s...I wonder if those earlier appearances were also vinyl transfers?  (I think I may have the old Capitol Greatest Hits CD stored somewhere, maybe I'll check that when I can find it).  

Hard to understand why they would have used a vinyl transfer.  Perhaps only the 45 masters could be located at that time and the preference was to use the full LP length, or even the 45 master of "Angel" was missing.  Note that the "Juice" LP was not issued on CD until 1997.

	Still baffled that a vinyl transfer made it onto so many CDs... Just got a copy of Greatest Hits (And More) (1987), and it's got the same vinyl transfer as the others, only with no noise reduction. Priority's Eighties Greatest Rock Hits Vol. 7 (1993) sounds very close to GHaM, with no NR, but is too loud and clips a lot. It seems that the noise reduction was first applied to 10 Best Series (1992). Razor & Tie's 2-CD Forever '80s (1994) sounds very close to 10 Best, and Time-Life's Singers And Songwriters - 1979-1989 (Vol. 13 of the series, 2001) is digitally identical to 10 Best. All have noise reduction.

	Best Digital version is the rare DCC CD of the "Juice" album!
	I turn up the good and turn down the bad!
