It is very unfortunate,that the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired.
The remixing and mastering engineer was not on top of his job,ie. the
sound is bright,most likely he had the EQ set wrongly.

Album Seven and counting
7 Nov 2007
By Ron
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Although Imperial would continue to release many repackagings of Rick Nelson material for several years, this 1962 album was his final set of new recordings for the label before moving over to Decca Records. "Album Seven" is not among the top tier of Nelson albums, but is still a solid collection of songs, with his usual contributors (Dave Burgess, the Burnette brothers, Jerry Fuller, Baker Knight) all represented here. The kickoff track, a rock version of the Gershwin standard "Summertime", is one of Rick's most overlooked recordings. Play this one for anyone who ever accused Nelson's music of being "bubblegum"! (They might even recognize what Johnny Rivers and Blues Magoos stole from the arrangement!) The album closer, "There's Not a Minute", is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard ("when I see two lovers run to meet each other/then I think of all my dreams that won't come true/when I realize I'll never love another/so many things, dear, remind me of you.."). "Mad, Mad World" makes me want to get away from it all, and just sit by a river in the mountains somewhere. There's a strong country feel on songs like "Congratulations" and "Can't Stop Loving You", and plenty of rock and roll on "Stop Sneakin' Around" and "Excuse Me Baby". The addition of Rick's 1962 hit singles "Teenage Idol", "Young World", and "It's Up to You" is a welcome bonus, as are the 4 songs from his super rare extended play 45 "Ricky Sings Spirituals". Ricky may not have loved gospel music as obsessively as his pal Elvis Presley, but he does just fine with the four songs included here. There's passion in his voice as he sings "I Bowed My Head in Shame", and Baker Knight's "Glory Train". Too bad Ricky never recorded a full album of songs in this style.

Rick Nelson album 7
18 July 2007
By John C. Robson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I bought this LP when it first came out in the early '60s, still have it and wore it out. The range of songs runs from rock, pop, to country.
The rock version of George Gershwin's "Summertime" still stands out to this very day, Joe Osborn's bass line has been copied many times. "Stop Sneakin' 'Round' has a very unique sound and syncopated rhythm and sounds new, as if it was recorded yesterday. Many of Ricks songs were way ahead of his time. I have a son-in-law that loves county music and I have played some of Ricks country songs, he was amazed when I told him that they were recorded 40 years ago. He said "This sounds like what is Nashville is turning out NOW"
As all wise the legendary guitar playing of James Burton is on all the tracks, his guitar solos are worth the price of admission. John
