With roots in the Los Angeles country and folk-rock scenes, Linda Ronstadt became one of the most popular interpretive singers of the '70s, earning a string of platinum-selling albums and Top 40 singles. Throughout the '70s, her laid-back pop never lost sight of her folky roots, yet as she moved into the '80s, she began to change her sound with the times, adding new wave influences. After a brief flirtation with pre-rock pop, Ronstadt settled into a pattern of adult contemporary pop and Latin albums, sustaining her popularity in both fields. This collection features seven of Linda Ronstadt's albums from the 1980s.

This tape was originally thrown in as a bonus with the Decca tape when the late Joe Pope and two friends bought a copy in the mid 70s. Presumably Joe made copies for someone else too, as years later it turned up on a vinyl lp called ABBEY ROAD NW8. Joe and his friends didn't have anything to do with the lp. Some years later, the master reel to reel tape was borrowed and transferred to DAT. Someone recently sent me a copy and that has been used for this project. When I listened to the tape I found that the azimuth (head to tape alignment) changed constantly. Fortunately there is now software which can automatically track and correct the timing errors caused by poor azimuth, allowing one to fold down the two channels to mono (note that it was a mono tape to begin with!) and achieve a greatly improved result. There was (and always was) a damaged section during Golden Slumbers which also needed fixing. Some minor dropout during a few tracks I fixed too. The speed I left alone, since it seems to match the commercial mixes of the songs.
