A Classic!
In addition to the big concert songs such as "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" and the National Anthem, "Margaritaville", it has some of his best lesser known tunes, such as "Banana Republics", "Tampico Trauma", Lovely Cruise", and "Miss You So Badly". I bought the original album when it came out in the seventies, and also own the CD. Many of the classic songs that make all parrotheads listen to those songs again and again. Classic Buffett!.


Needs remastering
I'm sure the whole thing could sound 100 percent better with 24-bit remastering. The sound of this early CD-era work, recorded in the mid-70s, is muffled, dim and hampered by low volume. MCA must figure why bother if people keep buying this inferior product? The songs are first-rate.


Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
This is a replacement. I wore the first one out. Hey, I'm a parrothead, what can I say. Jimmy can do no wrong.


Jimmy Buffett-An Apraisal
This is standard stuff, not as good as "Meet Me in Margaritaville" but still a wonderful link to the good life.


The Big One
The pre-Changes stuff seemed more insightful and introspective. I agree with the many other reviews that stated that this is not quite as great a set as A1A or Living and Dying, but it is the big one for JB. It seemed that JB wrote about real people and not just a drunken party. I also strongly agree with the review that stated that this was the point where the true original fans were given a back seat to the "parrotheads". I can remember well going down on one of many trips to Key West with my buddies during the 70s and we went out on a charter boat. My one drunken buddy said to the mate on the boat "I guess you guys ran JB out of the Keys", and the mate replied "NO, you did!". It seems that it is always the same story. . . big money and popularity has a way of ruining the appealing part of many things. Tourists move to a sunny remote island, and then they complain about how there are too many people moving in. Changes was a great album when it came out, but I for one feel the whole parrothead thing just beat the horse to death, just like the "deadheads" (which never made any sense to me). When you have to talk about what a party things are, then the party is over. When I hear JB now, it seems like the wind is really out of his sails and eventually he will have enough money and will call it quits for good. This is the last great album he produced, and anything post Changes is just rehash for the parrotheads. .
