Someday man is the only studio album I've heard, and it's worth owning, but
I can't comment on others. FYI,  Cdconnection.com has a 19 song australian
compilation that looks pretty good. Only $12.00. Here's the track list:

a little of love
an old fashioned love song
evergreen
family of man
i wont last a day without you
lady is waiting
let me be the one 
little of love
loneliness
one more angel
ordinary fool
rainy days and mondays
that lucky old sun
thats what friends are for
the family of man
the lady is waiting
time & tide
traveling boy
waking up alone
we've only just begun
you and me against the world
you know me

Subject: Paul Williams

So, after much delay, I finally got around to picking up my first Paul
Williams CD.  I'd considered it after hearing the Monkees' "Someday Man,"
then REALLY considered it after hearing the Mello Cads' "The Drifter," and,
last week, I just decided to take the plunge and ordered a best-of from
CDUniverse.com.  It's on Pickwick, and, well, frankly, I've seen bootlegs
with better packaging than this official release; the "cover" is a one-sheet
that only has song titles and doesn't even offer songwriting credits, let
alone any other details about the recordings.  The music, of course, is
great.  But I was wondering about the opinions of Auditeers as to the
definitive studio album to get by Williams.  They're all pretty pricey,
given that they're all imports (as far as I know), so I didn't want to take
the plunge lightly.  I get the impression that "Someday Man" may be the way
to go, but...well, what do ya'll think?

Latah,

WILL
