Editorial Review:

Album Description:
1998 Ace release, a two-on-one with a pair of Nelson's late '60s albums for Decca together on one disc: 1968's 'Perspective' & 1967's 'Another Side Of Rick'. A combined total of 23 tracks, including covers of pop standards like 'Reason To Believe', 'For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her', 'Georgia On My Mind' & 'I Think It's Gonna Rain Today'.

Rating: - Lost in the late 60's
These two albums have been next to impossible to find on vinyl, so thank goodness Ace put out this cd. They're far from Rick's best, though. Rick's rock/pop albums had sold poorly ever since the British Invasion of 1964 knocked him off the charts. His country albums didn't sell any better, so obviously someone (probably the record company, Decca) thought it was time for a change. They hooked him up with a young producer, John Boylan, who found some good songs for Rick to sing, and contributed a few ... Read More

Rating: - Not what you'd expect from Rick but deserves a listen
Okay, this may not be what Rick's fans wanted to hear nor is it necessarily what he was comfortable doing. If given a chance, these two albums are really quite nice with only a few duds ("Georgia on my mind.")

I've enjoyed Rick's music since I found a used copy of Ricky Sings Again in a Goodwill store when I was a teenager in the 1970s. When this cd was released, I figured I would't waste the money considering the opinions I had heard of the albums.

I finally gave in and ... Read More

Rating: - Not worth the listen
This is the worst Rick Nelson cd I have ever heard. Not one song was worth the listen. I am a huge fan of Rick and think he was the greatest, but this cd is really bad. I have almost every Rick Nelson cd and love them all. This cd is so out of character for him. His voice sounds good, but the choice of songs and the production is terrible. I don't think he was too happy with it either. I guess it was a learning experience because he sure did better stuff after this. Buy it if only to complete your collection, ... Read More

Rating: - Rick's "experimental" albums
Rick's 1967 & 1968 albums, actually recorded back-to-back, were an odd departure from anything he'd ever done before, and a questionable move after the success of his 2 country albums just before. The sound is definitely "1967"; I'm reminded a bit of the sound of THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES. Whether simply caught in the mood of the times, or perhaps inspired to do something for his kids, this material didn't go over well with his fans at all. Yet there are nice moments: "Dream Weaver", "Marshmallow ... Read More
