I'm sure you all know by now how much I LOVE Bette Midler, and I was excited at the news that there might be a new Bette album being released on April 29 2008. However, I've also been told that this might not actually be a "new" album, but rather another compilation of songs that most, if not all, Bette fans already have on their other CDs. If it is another compilation, then I know I would already have all the songs as I have every Bette CD she ever recorded.
However, if the CD has ANY previously unreleased songs, then I am excited again and WILL buy the new release, otherwise, and let me reiterate how much I LOVE Bette, I never really see the sense in purchasing compilations - unless they contain enough new or bonus material to make it a MUST-HAVE.
No track listings have been revealed yet, but I do LOVE the cover photo:
Here's a little update about this new Bette album!
As I suspected, it is yet another compilation, and although I love Bette, I REALLY wanted new Bette songs. Still, I do love the cover art (see above), and I think there's one previously unreleased song, but I'm not sure whether I really need the CD for one song.
Still, I might get it, but it will be great for the novice Bette fan who is just learning about The Divine...
