Rita Coolidge

Rita Coolidge's 1980 Beautiful Evening - Live In Japan was recorded for the Japanese market, and was only ever released there, Hong Kong and Australia.  The singer's first live album, it features a set list comprised of then-recent hits like her cover of "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher."  It also includes her rendition of Peter Allen's "Don't Cry Out Loud," which was a hit for Coolidge in Japan at the time.  The new reissue has been expanded with five studio tracks from various Japanese singles and albums which have never shown up on US releases.  TSD's Joe Marchese provides the new liner notes with quotes from Coolidge drawn from an interview he conducted with her!
