REO Speedwagon LIFE AS WE KNOW IT - ORIGINAL RELEASE LONG OUT OF PRINT FE-40444 EPIC RECORDS PRESSING IN SEALED CONDITION LP  with a small cutout HOLE in jacket.

 This album is very special for me. i first heard the singles "that ain't love" and "in my dreams" and i was hooked. so i got the album and the rest of the tracks didn't disappoint. later i picked up the other REO albums too - and in my opinion only "high infidelty" compares with this. "that ain't love" and "in my dreams" are definitely the strongest numbers here - but "screams and whispers", "variety tonight", "accidents can happen" aren't far behind. and there's some great guitar work in "over the egde". i got a used cd of this album on amazon just a week back - and i can't get it out of my cd player!

Though this album was hugely overlooked does not mean it is a bad album. Trust me, it's not. REO always kept the rock rolling but they were always trying something new in their songs. This album is a prime example. NEW WAY TO LOVE, the first track on the album, is such a fun song with a catchy beat and nice horns, it makes you want to dance! Aside from the three singles in THAT AIN'T LOVE, IN MY DREAMS, and VARIETY TONIGHT - all of which are very catchy and good - the rest of the album is just as well-produced, written, and performed. Sadly, the last album with the classic line-up. Well worth the purchase.

TWO JAPAN OBI VINYL BONUS PRESSINGS

REO Speedwagon YOU GET WHAT YOU PLAY FOR - JAPAN ES 40 3P-275-6 LONG OUT OF PRINT PRESSING IN MINT OBI STRIP, GATEFOLD JACKET & JAPANESE/ENGLISH INSERT. CONDITION LP - I had a big laugh reading the other reviews by the so-called REO authorities....my suggestion to these other folks.....you need to DO YOUR HOMEWORK before spouting off..by doing so...you demonstrated that you really dont have a clue about who REO really is and where they came from......1st off....Roll with the changes wasn't recorded till the "Tuna fish" lp...which followed this 1976 album in 1978....That is just the first conclusion these uninformed people jumped to. If they would have even READ the liner notes...they would have seen that this recording was from the 1975 tour....which preceeded the TUNA FISH lp by almost 3 years.

As far as sound quality...the overall sound is a tad bright and lacks a strong bottom end....but this can easily be compensated with your EQ or tone controls on your HiFi....also..the output of the recording is slightly weak...I am guessing they did this to hold the noise level down...Once again....an EQ will correct this.

I have been an REO fan since they came on the scene in 1971....as I am from central illinois...This album was recorded while the lineup of 1975....including original bassist Greg Philbin was still onhand...and in my opinion, he defined the trademark REO bass sound. Listen to his bass lines throughout the album...the playing is very strong and he gives the band a "lean into it affect" that pushes them, while maintaining a constant groove.....this was what they were known for. Many REO enthusiasts, such as myself; prefer this lineup over the later band. The songs were performed with a much stronger sincerity and less syrupy sellout, that became a trademark after 1980's Hi-Infidelty. Those who remember the REO from the first 6 albums, will have fond memories of an authentic concert band, who could hold their own against any of their contemporaries.

Bruce Hall is a great bassist...He just has a different bass technique than Greg Philbin.....Something more along the line of bassist from Journey...Foreigner...Boston....and other bands that dominated the latter 70s and early 80s.

Now.....If you want my opinion....which you're getting...whether you like it or not......this album is complete in every way shape and form....THE ONLY TRACKS THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED ARE.."Garys guitar solo" and "Little Queenie"...I can fully understand why Garys solo was left off....it sucked and was overindulgent BS....But if you recall the T.W.O LP from 1972...Little Queenie was a major rocker and even extended it out with the help of Memphis, TN sax lengend Boots Randolph (Yackety sax fame)..and they do a very good live rendition on the Live LP...altho it got cut too short...all the other songs are complete and as they originally appeared on the vinyl lp.

For the price....this cd is far from being a ripoff.....the people who criticized and condemned this cd are people who became REO fans after 1980 and have absolutely no idea of the band that existed before that time...and they would also have no appreciation for a band that was truly a creative, driving force in the midwest...back in 1971-1976..before they became nationally famous.
