This album, when it was released back in 1977 was Donna Summer's most well rounded to date. There were more tracks than there usually were on a Summer album and it had as its last track a little opus entitled “I Feel Love”. The first side began (and ended, old habits die hard) with the infectious title track which owed its existence to similar material from the outstanding Dr Buzzards Original Savannah Band. The other two tracks on the first side were affectionate pastiche – of the Phil Spector sound on “Love’s Unkind” and of the Supremes on “Back In Love Again” – all three tracks were British Hit singles. The second side showed a much greater range of material than previous albums had, most notably the excellent ballad performance on “Can’t We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)” must surely have silenced most of the critics who doubted Donna’s vocal ability and then there was “I Feel Love”. That single was revolutionary- if we had heard material like that before it was Kraftwerk or Pink Floyd but here was an out and out disco single using synthesized sounds like never before – music would never be the same again. How could it do anything else than be a number one single? An all time classic, without a doubt.

Each time I go to listen 1 of the 7 Donna Summer remasters that I haven't previously heard, I'm not sure if I will be disappointed. Well I'm happy to say the answer is a resounding NO. I Remember Yesterday sounds vibrant, clear and balanced. Like the others, this CD's upgrade does not sound compressed or over volumed. The sound is simply amazing. I could tell the high quality the minute the first track I Remember Yesterday began. The beautiful sound continued with Love's Unkind and the remainder of the tracks on the original "first side" of the "original LP." I held my judgment until I heard the ballad Why Can't We Just Sit Down... and I Feel Love. On the ballad, Donna's voice is wonderfully heartfelt and clear. But the most amazing experience was listening to gradual emergence of sound or the build up of I Feel Love. On 1 or 2 of Donna's compliations, I Feel Love seemed over volumed and unbalanced. Not here. What a spectacular upgraded version of such a classic and ground-breaking song. This alone is worth the higher price of the CD. Like the other 6 remastered titles this CD has an insert that contains the English and Japanese lyrics. All I can is that this 2012 remaster of I Remember Yesterday will make you happy about listening to it today.

If disco beats are your thing, and golden tones the way you like them accompanied, then this is for you. Sure it is cheesy at times but is that not disco's appeal. Miss Summer has the sexiest voice ever to grace vinyl. The ground breaking electronic tracks pretty much have you cracking the dance floor (or bedroom carpet) as you try out those hipster 70's moves. The only flaw is the midway reprise of the title track but its a strong track. There's gold at the end of this rainbow with the glorious I FEEL LOVE. After putting this on repeat, you will too.

This would certainly be Donna Summer's best album for a decade, until she was to record: 'Another Place And Time' in 1988 which would be produced by 'Stock, Aitken & Waterman'.
This features almost all of her hits from 1977 - including; the title track, 'Love's Unkind' and 'I Feel Love' - all of which were in the top forty at the same time - a remarkable feat indeed! 'I Feel Love' was also pretty ground-breaking stuff back then! Surprisingly though; the only other single from this album: 'Back In Love Again' - despite its catchy powerful love/disco beat, only just made the forty the following year, but then I guess most that liked it would have already purchased the album by then.
This also features the classic that's been covered by many: 'Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)', and it's a good rendition. With great artwork too, this classic album almost gave Ms. Summer a chart-topper when it peaked at number three.
NOTE/TRIVIA: It's a puzzle as to why the marketing department never utilised the 12" single format when releasing earlier Donna Summer material. Most of what she did on 7" had an extended version or 'mix' which would appear on her albums, but never as a 12" single - strange... The only 12" single ever issued from this album was 'Back In Love Again', which ironically wasn't extended at all - stranger still...
