(But There Is An Awful Mastering Error on Mungo Jerry Song on Disc 3)

"…Life Is A Long Song…"

As ever with these multiple Sony Music/EMI Yearbook releases and especially the companion EXTRA sets – 1971 presents with genius and drivel sat uncomfortably alongside each other on every disc. And this set unfortunately sports a horrible mastering error on Disc 3 when you play the truly lovely "Lady Rose" by Mungo Jerry (Track 18) – it is distorted to unlistenable. Worse, about 2:40 minutes into the song – the audio sort of returns to normal to its 3:09 end just to tease you into hearing how it should sound. It will need to be withdrawn and fixed because this is undoubtedly one of the better highlights of discovery on this 3CD 1971 set.

And thematically (fairly sure I'm not the first person to notice this) these 3-Disc Extra variants almost always feel better than their 4-disc daddies – like they are aimed at the more discerning collector and not the casual browser (28 August 2026 was the 4CD predecessor - see separate review). And this 1971 Extra is no different. Stormingly good tunes here amidst the winces – a lot to cover, on to the details…

UK released Friday, 9 October 2026 - "Now Yearbook Extra '71 – 61 More Essential Hits From 1971" by VARIOUS ARTISTS on Sony Music/EMI CDYBENOW71 / 0199584439228 (Barcode 199584439228) is a 61-Track 3CD Six-Panel Card Sleeve that plays out as follows (track timings from the CDs):

With no Book versions for these follow-on 3CD sets, the six-panel fold-out card sleeves of the 1971 Extra Edition offers minimal info, a track-by-track list with no catalogue numbers or chart placings (writing credits and naught else) with the CD sat in a yellow Card Pouch. This enables a 3CD set of quality audio to be sold for a tenner. The real meat-and-potatoes however comes in the shape of fab AUDIO throughout – shockingly good – even though Remasters are only mentioned sporadically. But it must be noted that as off now (first week of release, and as already pointed out) – CD3 has an unfortunate mastering mistake on the lovely Mungo Jerry song "Lady Rose" where it is distorted to buggery for most of its Single Mix duration. Bear that in mind…to the other 60 tunes…

CD1: Fist-pumping anthem "Power To The People" by John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band opens proceedings with a Right On wallop, but I prefer a bit of glam as T.Rex get all 'Electric Warrior' on our asses with their 'Universe reclining in your hair' Jaguar grooving "Jeepster". Good but not great, I can live without The Sweet song "Alexander Graham Bell" - but I'd forgotten how sweet Errol Brown and his Hot Chocolate were with the cautionary tale of "You Could've Been A Lady". And again (as with the first 4CD set), for a release that barely mentions Remasters (let alone dates applied) - the audio is uniformly glorious on all of them (and remember, this is 1971). Next up is a genuinely clever inclusion, Junior Campbell's Marmalade getting all America-meets-Matthews Southern Comfort acoustic mellow with "My Little One". Up on the stoney ridge is Roger McGuinn with The Byrds trying to catch a "Chestnut Mare" - great tune and thankfully Yearbook have chosen the full 2LP cut at 5:08 version and not the much-derided single edit at 2:58 minutes. More beautiful audio and melody magic with Macca's superb "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" which was only a 45 in the USA and not his native Blighty (Paul & Linda McCartney chose the similarly arranged "The Back Seat Of My Car" (Track 20 over on CD3). 

Sneaking in the Sixties, Simon & Garfunkel's happiness anthem "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" first appeared in late 1966 on their "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme" LP. Now Yearbook have snuck in a 1971 entry by way of it being reissued May 1971 in Germany on CBS Records (the British 1970 issue didn't chart). Whatever you look at it, it makes for a welcome warmth in your speakers. Same applies to chart-latecomer Cat Stevens and his beautiful "Moonshadow" - an October 1970 B-side release that took almost a whole year to finally chart in August 1971 as the more popular side (then came up later on the September 1971 "Teaser And The Firecat" album). Gorgeous is the only word for Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" - an acoustic guitar, string accompaniment and his voice and lyrics slaughtering all in its path - is it any wonder Bob Dylan rated Lightfoot as a top writer (liner notes in his 1985 'Biograph' box set). I suppose you could call "I Am..I Said..." cheesy and super melodramatic - but I have always loved Neil Diamond's bombast song (leaving me lonely still) - here with gorgeous Erick Labson audio. 

Unfortunately CD1 dives off a cliff with the crock that is "Rag To Riches" by a lost in Vegas Elvis. I love Gilbert O'Sullivan but "We Will" is hard to hear now (though I know there are those who rate all his singles). Soul now starts to turn up with The Fantastics giving it the Pop-Soul of "Something Old, Something Blue" but the Four Tops and Diana Ross don't do "River Deep, Mountain High" a whole lot of good. From the awful to the sublime - Marvin Gaye gets the second of three singles from his legendary "What's Going On" album with an environmental plea - "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology Song)". Huge audio muscle follows with the darlings of Northern Soul  - The Delfonics giving it some 'gonna find you' in their "Ready Or Not Here I Come..." - great inclusion. Can live with Jackson 5's "Maybe Tomorrow" - better is "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" - Diana Ross helping us with lives filled with confusion (bit hissy at the beginning). Scott English is a clever inclusion - his "Brandy" covered by many later on - but the Dana track is awful and leaves a sour taste. 

CD2 is a tale of two cities - five stars to three - Rock first then Cheesy Easy with the Rock stuff easily the best. "Levon" from Elton's 1971 album "Madman Across The Water" was an American 45 (the now more famous song "Tiny Dancer" is on the 4CD set) and coupled with gorgeous audio for Jethro Tull's witty and brilliant "Life Is A Long Song" makes for a very cool double opener. But then I get mushy because I have always loved Bob Dylan's rocking "Watching The River Flow" - one of five new tracks on his Volume 2 'More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits' 2LP set - ably abetted on this rocker by Leon Russell on Piano and Jesse Ed Davis on Electric Slide Guitar. Bet your Mum and Dad remember all the words and catchy chorus to ex-Animals singers Alan Price and Georgie Fame doing "Rosetta" - the kind of singalong that would kick off in a pub after a few scoops. 

We're then hammered with a fantastic run of dreamy 45s - McGuinness Flint following up "When I'm Dead And Gone" with their other chart entry - "Malt And Barley Blues". The amazing C.C.S transforming a Donovan song "Walking" into a super-cool brassy groove while both Deep Purple and Atomic Rooster provide the hairy-men nits of "Fireball" and "Tomorrow Night" - stunner Rockers that amaze 55 years after the event. Two more in East of Eden and John Fiddler's Medicine Head - Dave Arbus giving it some fiddle on "Jig-A-Jig" (he would later grace "Baba O'Riley" for The Who's "Who Next" LP in August 1971) while the slightly weird Folk-Rock rhythms of Medicine Head remind you of a watered-down Gerry Rafferty - but in a good way. But the rest of the disc is inflicted with Easy Listening schlock like Gerry Monroe and Waldo De Los Rios - even the normally reliable Perry Como and Frank Sinatra letting the side down. 

CD3 returns to Soul, R&B and Reggae - opening with the fabulous "Move On Up" from Curtis Mayfield - a tune that has been lighting up clubs and dance-floors with its talcum powder grooves for nearly six decades (Curtom Records in the USA and Buddah in the UK). The Synth Funk sound that would so dominate our hearts and Stevie Wonder LPs from 1971 to 1976 begins with his funky cover of The Beatles soulful sway in "We Can Work It Out". And speaking of Tamla Motown, who is immune to the flange-pedal charm of "Nathan Jones" - The Supremes flourishing without Diana Ross - Lead Vocalists Jean Tyrell and Mary Wilson getting to triumph at last (love that tune). Love the Northern Soul Scene vibe with The Elgins, The Velvelettes and even the Four Seasons crooner Frankie Valli getting in on the act. But then we get the haunting gets-to-your-soul groove of Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler)" where Rockets have priority over food and homes and people. And on it goes to fab turns from Reggae guys Dave & Ansel Collins, Greyhound and The Pioneers with "Monkey Spanner" (Madness ahoy), the hope of non-segregated children playing together in "Black And White" (what a beautiful sight) and The Pioneers confused by girly signals in "Let Your Yeah Be Yeah" (and your No be No now). Yearbook Extra 1971 sneaks in the popular Cat Stevens song "Peace Train" (a Stateside single) and so forth - but all of it marred by that crap Mungo Jerry mastering mistake which (had it been done properly) would have made CD3 the winner of all three. As ever, good with the bad, with good edging...

MISSING/IDEAS: fans will spot that there are kind of obvious exclusions across these three CDs for 1971 (the four-CD set that preceded it was no different - see list in that review also). This is most likely due to licensing difficulties or band blocks. Still, for info purposes, here are more missing 1971 gems - "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens, "Hold Your Head Up" by Argent, "It Don't Come Easy" by Ringo Starr, "The Story In Your Eyes" by The Moody Blues, "You've Got A Friend" by James Taylor, "Warming Up The Band" by Heads, Hands & Feet, "Jewel Eyed Judy" (US) by Fleetwood Mac, "The Shape I'm In" by The Band, "One Of These Days" by Pink Floyd, "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison, "Carey" and "California" by Joni Mitchell, "Wild Horses" (US) by The Rolling Stones or "Riders On The Storm" by The Doors. John Barry's "Diamonds Are Forever" as done by Shirley Bassey for the Bond film would have been perfect fodder here as would America and their acoustic anthem "A Horse With No Name". Obscure maybe but brill Soulful nonetheless would have been The Dramatics doing "Watcha See Is Watcha Get" or the domestic pain of "Thin Line Between Love And Hate" by The Persuaders nestled alongside dancefloor neck-jerkers like The Detroit Emeralds "Do Me Right" or Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose explaining why you must "Treat Her Like A Lady". There are loads more. The Soul stuff too seems to ponder far too much on Tamla Motown and not Stax or Atlantic who were label killing it with every 45-release in those years. And on it goes.

For sure Extra looks like crap, but you have to say that the Audio rocks throughout (apart from that horrible mastering Mungo Jerry glitch on CD3 - a great inclusion ruined which should be sorted out pronto), the good stuff is properly great and the surprises cool. 

Just be aware though of the popette schlock that accompanies Now Yearbook Extra 1971 and you will be getting it on, moving it on up and watching those rivers flow in an ecology jiffy (mercy me). Recommended...
