Customer Reviews At This Moment The original cassette tape of the same title has the original cut's including hopeless romantic (the CD DID NOT) the sound quality was no where the original. This CD was not even near what I expected. Very obvious a "dubbed" cut. Bad quality = bad purchase= returned item. Classic LA club band... The best of this collection, "At This Moment" is known by nearly everyone here. Billy Vera's been around the music scene in LA. Not uncommon to hear someone talking in a group and start a sentence with "What would. . . " and then hear the rest of the group finish the sentence by singing Vera's most famous tune complete with air guitar. Fun to listen to. . . funner to see. Another reason "I HATE THE 80'S" I was coming home from a drug store, and to be honest I was not enjoying life. I remember hearing "At This Moment" for the first time on Saturday January 3rd, 1987. College was a hard time for me since starting it 3 months earlier, and I was wondering what my future was going to look like, and I really didn't see a beautiful picture. The song was all romance which would mean the girls would eat it up; I remember we had just come out of a bad year in music, and with hearing this off the bat it didn't sound like it was going to get any better. I look back on this as partly my fault for not being more self-starting when I was in my teens-early 20's meaning I could've gotten a job while in college, or gotten involved in extra-carricular activities at school. My days pretty much were bleak, and uncertain, and I really regret having graduated high school early, but I feel that there could've been the same result had I stayed in high school the extra year. A change of heart is needed, and speaking of a change of heart this album definitely needs one. All of these songs sound like listening to JimmyZ Z One Man Band at the Iron Man Bar every night of the week, and believe me if that's the case I want to make sure there's a Dick Van Dyke movie on to keep me interested. I could find myself falling asleep at one of thier shows. It's bland party band music that just sits in stomach like a dead weight. Especially "At This Moment". .
