"Derringer fans have been waiting for what seems forever for the release of the "Romantic" album on CD. Well, here it is! And as a sweet bonus, it's packaged with the almost as good "Face To Face" album on one CD! At the time it was released (1978) the "Romantic" album was dismissed by a lot of critics as too derivative of punk/new wave but it has stood the test of time and remains as one of my favorite albums of that year (along with Little Feat's "Waiting For Columbus" and Nils Lofgren's "Night After Night", both seminal 'live' albums). Crammed full of power pop licks and, yes, new wave attitude this is nothing but a GREAT Rock'n'Roll album. And check out the sizzling version of Zevon's 'Lawyers, Guns & Money'. "Face To Face" is more of a traditional 'Rock' album but has some GREAT tunes and licks as well. I'm just so glad to finally be able to put away my vinyl-to-CDR clone of the "Romantic" album. THANK YOU Wounded Bird Records for releasing this as well as your recent Randy Meisner releases."

"I have alway thought Derringer's "Romantic"(released 1980)album was his best! I made a copy to CD of this from my album and even had the pleasure of hanging out and having some drinks with Derringer's bassist Kenny Aaronson who played on this album and I made him a copy of it too. He signed my album for doing it and I still have it. What makes this such a great CD is that it included another great long forgotten album by Derringer. From the opening track "It Ain't Funny" through "Midnight Road" and rockers like "EZ Action" this is one to buy while it is still available. The other album featured on this CD is Face to Face which has one of Derringer's best songs "Let The Music Play"! If your a fan, you have it and if you like 70's rock with an 80's twist check it out."

Two CD's worth of music,only one worth hearing

"If I Weren't So Romantic,I'd Shoot You. EXCELLENT recording representing the era(1978).Every song is good! Highly recommended,but just forget the second CD included(Face To Face). Pathetic beyond words! No real problem,because the Amazon price is great. Delete the crap and you have a jewel worth keeping.
