Review by JimmyMichaels Apr 15, 2008

If you can hunt down this obscure release, it's a nice one to have in your collection. Even though the actual quality of the vinyl is not up to par with the original 12" releases, it's worth it just to have the 2 unavalible Monster Orchestra tracks and La Pregunta's "Girl From Uganda" (which is near IMPOSSIBLE to find the original 12" of).

"As Long As We Have Each Other" is a pretty good and soulful pop/late disco kinda track with strings. And "We Can Try Again" is the real treat here of these 2 unavalible anywhere else cuts. A very nice pure 1982 soul ballad with an over the top production, not something you'd expect from Davis durring his 1970's period. The only thing with this is, it sounds like they did a quick fade out on the thing as it was really starting to get goin. A shame, but good to hear it even if it is cut short.
