I got "Let's Stay Together" when I was about 15, and I loved it -- but I don't think I completely got it. Not at 15. Anyway, years later I got "The Immortal Soul of Al Green," which is kind of the "Greatest Hits" on steroids. But even though it includes about half of "...Stay Together," I know that most of the other half is just as awesome. I can only assume that's true for the rest of the classic albums too, so I'll be loading up, starting with the "Belle Album" -- thanks, Joe! Wow. Al Green. Wow.

It seems like they're doing some sort of reboot. All that new stuff showed up but a lot of old things disappeared. I'm not sure but it seems there is a lot less Shanachie now, and there's only 39 Yazoo titles - I'm sure there were more before. Any idea what's up? So what is the deal with Shanachie/Yazoo?

Daniel; Not positive but I think all that Shanachie/Yazoo stuff was already here. For example, look at Augustus Pablo; Most of his Shanachie albums are now doubled.
