A re-issue of songs mostly from Rick's 70's cartoon series "Mission Magic" (see the four-star-average reviews for the album "Backtracks"). If you like very sugar-coated fluff songs (think rainbows, clouds and puppy dogs), you will love this. If you like Rick's guitar riffs and lyrics about adult life, this is not for you. I am a huge Rick Springfield fan, but for me, this is a drink coaster... so if you are curious to see what Rick sounds like singing cutsey Partidge Family-type songs, go for it. I'll stick to Rick's heavier and more serious stuff like how you talk to girls (trust me, that song actually has more serious lyrics than this!).
I really think that the record company could have come up with a better way to put "Speak to the Sky" out there for us to hear. Instead we get another re issue from Mission Magic.. "You can't judge a Book", and "We're Gonna Have A Good Time". If you wanted to see Speak to the Sky re released.. It would have made a nice bonus track for Comic Book Heroes... Now that was a great Album... Sorry Rick I own most of these songs...
THIS ALBUM CONTAINS THE AUSTRALIAN MADE VERSION OF "SPEAK TO THE SKY" - THE ORIGINAL AND BEST MIX - RICK'S "MISSION MAGIC THEME" IS ALSO ON THIS C.D. A WONDERFUL CARTOON THEME.
WORTH MUCH MORE THAN AMAZON'S ASKING PRICE...PRICELESS!!!
