"(my review for iTunes) ::
This album was originally released only on cassette tape in the early 90's, by lisa herself... before a record company & the major label albums that everyone knows her for. this recording has been in high demand by fans ever since, and lisa has been promising to release it. that day has finally come. if you want just the album, download the first 10 tracks for $9.90. tracks 11-33 are what is on the 2nd disc of the physical release, and are commentary tracks (with the exception of the 2 in-studio tracks at the end). every song is raw, acoustic, just lisa & her guitar... some of her best songs appear on this re-release, in their original form."
Good Stuff

"Got mine today. While this isn't as strong as her other releases (& it isn't meant to be, these recordings are very nice acoustic demos), it's very much worth having & a yet another reminder of why LL may very well be the best singer songwriter recording today.
Disc 2 is also interesting & also worth a listen + it has 2 exclusive tracks for us collectors.
If you're new to Lisa Loeb, this isn't the place to start, but for fans this is a must have."
