	Barry New - LP - AL 9537 Sealed 1980 Original With Custom Hype Sticker On The Shrink. "1980's Barry from Barry Manilow featured his last Top Ten hit, "I Made It Through the Rain," finding him still in control of the adult contemporary charts, but starting to fade on the Top 40. It's an interesting piece of the Manilow collection, the singer covering Kenny Nolan, co-writing with Maurice White, penning a song for another film -- "We Still Have Time" from the motion picture Tribute -- and including a campy duet with Lily Tomlin. Their unlikely pairing on "The Last Duet" is a kinda "Copacabana" redux, borrowing heavy melody from Orleans' "Love Takes Time" and lifting lyrics from '70s songs -- "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," "You're the One That I Want," and others. Manilow produces two of the ten tracks without production partner Ron Dante and composes half of the album with Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman, including the hit. Maybe it was a conscious effort to become an album artist rather than a singles act because Barry is more listenable all the way through than previous discs, which contained bigger and more significant hits. There are many musicians in the mix too -- Dean Parks, Paul Schaeffer, Abe Laboriel, Alan Estes, arrangements by Artie Butler -- all the stops seem to get pulled out to good effect. Kenny Nolan's tune has the syrup that artist is known for with Manilow adding the sincerity missing in Nolan's own hits. The song could very well have charted, as could have two terrific songs from "Mandy" co-writer Richard Kerr, "Life Will Go On" and "Dance Away." The movie theme is pretty good too. "We Still Have Time" is Manilow finally writing a song that is up there with hits he found from other composers -- something he really wasn't quite able to capture before this. A shame it or another good song from this fine disc didn't follow "I Made It Through the Rain" up the Top 40. It was almost a year before David Pomeranz's "The Old Songs" would go Top 15 for Manilow toward the end of 1981, and one wonders if there was resistance at radio, because the album Barry had more than enough great material and strong performance to continue the chart run that gave Manilow his enormous popularity."

"Timing is a crucial issue in the release of a first "greatest-hits" anthology for an artist in mid-career, and Arista Records could not have improved on its decision to issue Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits in the fall of 1978. At the time, Manilow had enjoyed an unbroken string of 13 consecutive Top 30 hits, and the 14th, "Somewhere in the Night," was already in the pipeline. That was more than enough for the usual hits set, but Arista plumped for a double-LP set, including all 14 hit singles and adding another five album tracks. (With the advent of CDs, the label deleted one of those album tracks, "Jump Shot Boogie," and reissued Greatest Hits as a single 18-track, 69-minute CD, even though all 19 would have fit.) Most of the extras were uptempo numbers, making a welcome change of pace from the ballads that constituted most of Manilow's hits. One exception to this rule was "All the Time," a ballad that probably would have been a hit single if it could have been squeezed into Manilow's release schedule. Greatest Hits was perfectly timed because it caught Manilow at his popular peak; he would have more big hits, but not many, so that, for those who loved him, the essence of his repertoire was to be found here, from "Mandy" to "Copacabana" and all the AM favorites in between. For Manilow himself, this profit-taking product allowed him time to catch his breath. He hadn't had a new album since Even Now the previous winter, and he wouldn't have another one until One Voice, nearly a year in the future. (When it came, that LP would prove a mere million-seller after five consecutive multi-platinum albums.) Four years is a long time at the top of the heap in pop music, and Manilow's comprehensive Greatest Hits, covering 1974-1978, is an excellent time capsule of his most popular period."

	One Voice Used - LP - AL 9505 Sealed 1979 original. No cuts or holes. "One Voice, Barry Manilow's sixth studio album of new material, marked a decline in his commercial fortunes despite being a considerable hit. It reached the Top Ten and went platinum, while his previous five releases (including a live album and a greatest-hits collection) had all gone multi-platinum. But this commercial disappointment (which would not be reversed) did not reflect any fall-off in musical quality; One Voice was another well-constructed collection that balanced songs composed by Manilow and his various regular lyric partners (Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman, Adrienne Anderson, Marty Panzer, and Enoch Anderson) with outside material suggested by Arista Records President Clive Davis in a two-for-one ratio. (If you include "They Gave in to the Blues," the non-LP B-side added to the 1998 reissue of the album, there were 12 songs, eight written by Manilow & co., four brought in by Davis.) As usual, Davis' selections held sway when it came to singles. All three of the 45's issued from the album -- "Ships," "When I Wanted You," and "I Don't Want to Walk Without You" -- were covers. (And if there had been a fourth, no doubt it would have been the melancholy ballad "Where Are They Now," co-written by Richard Kerr, author of the Manilow hits "Mandy" and "Looks Like We Made It," and John Bettis, Richard Carpenter's lyricist.) The most successful of these on the Hot 100 was "Ships," a song Davis found on ex-Mott the Hoople leader Ian Hunter's solo album You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic. This ballad about the distance between fathers and sons did not resonate with Manilow, who had lost his father as an infant. (When he put the song on his box set The Complete Collection and Then Some..., he used a live take, confessing that he only got into the song after performing it in concert.) But he gave it the kind of arrangement meant to make it the "Mandy" of the collection, and so it became, more or less. He felt a greater affinity for the 1942 Jule Styne-Frank Loesser standard "I Don't Want to Walk Without You," which he performed frequently despite its relative low placing at number 36, and indeed his original "(Why Don't We Try) A Slow Dance" was his own approximation of the style. That song began with a disco arrangement broken by a piano riff to indicate the composer's true sentiments, but he still bowed to the current fad with "Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed" and the dance-rock paean to a prostitute, "Bobbie Lee (What's the Difference, I Gotta Live)." These indifferently performed numbers were only included to break up the ballads with up-tempo tracks, however. Manilow clearly placed the greatest store by the lead-off title song, a choral work with vaguely anthemic lyrics he wrote himself in a dream. But that kind of overblown fluff wasn't what put the food on his table. The sales drop-off suggested that Manilow's time was passing and he might have been well advised to try something different next time out. He didn't, though." All Music Guide - William Ruhlmann more
