I don't think eight albums is enough for the price tag. I have the Dick Jensen album though, Big Break Records reissued it awhile back. Dick was a nice singer and great entertainer, but I would only recommend it if you're a hardcore P.I.R. fan who has to have everything. It's the only one he recorded for G&H and they produced the bulk of it, but they needed more time in my opinion. It also feels rushed and the songs seem like what I call "Piano Benchers".The relationship dissolved much too fast for them to get a grip on what was perfect for Dick. As far as the reissue campaign, I believe they are restricting this to just the P.I.R. stuff. Most of The Intruders music was released on Gamble records before the CBS deal. Those would be a separate release in my estimation.
