Hi everyone, Don't take this too seriously because it is really silly, but... Of Hayley's three International Albums, two have something in common that is not shared by the other. That may not be true of all versions but it is certainly the case with the great majority of them. So, what is the connection between two of the albums and, therefore, which is the odd one out? Hopefully, this will not give too much away but, for the sake of this thread, please ignore the UK SE of Odyssey. Depending on how things go, I may give an occasional clue, but for now, let's start.

Good try, Steve, but that would be far too sensible and I did say it was silly!
I won't post simply to say "No" too often but I will keep looking in. I will only post to give an occasional clue or to indicate if someone is getting warm!

If that is silly, it is only slightly more so than the answer I had in mind. I cannot say more than that without giving away too much too soon.

Another thing could be we move away from the beach theme in Treasure, Hayley on the beach ,well nearly celtic treasure has a treasure chest which is usually associated with the sea.
On a closer look at her three International albums
On Treasure Hayley does not put her usual signature of Hayley xxx

Well, at the risk of appearing to take this more seriously than it deserves, I went over these three CDs with a fine tooth comb and found all kinds of trivial things, except that none of them really qualify as silly in the amusing sense. For example:
Pure and Treasure covers are headshots; Odyssey's is not.
Pure has lyrics; Odyssey and Treasure don't.
Pure and Odyssey have song w/Latin lyrics; Treasure doesn't.
Hayley's eyes are looking directly at the camera on Treasue cover but away on other two.
The list goes on and on, I am truly stumped as to what "silly" thing I'm missing.

There are several good attempts so far and I accept that they may all true but still they are not what I had in mind. Perhaps "silly" wasn't quite the right word. Try "trivial". Incidentally, looking at the album covers won't help you in the least! There was a massive clue in my opening post. In fact, I told you the answer!  Roger |

Pure contains no songs written in part by Hayley.
Giles Martin was not involved in Treasure.
Odyssey has no Maori songs.

I think Roger's massive clue is that we have to ignore the UK SE of Odyssey. As this is the only title Roger mentions, I think it is Pure and Treasure that share a common characteristic. They weren't mentioned by title by Roger in the opening message of this thread. Perhaps this is even sillier than Roger intended .... |

Is it the font of the title and artist?  Pure and Treasure are almost the same font, but Odyssey is much different, thus the odd one out. Is that it? Dori |

Sorry folks, but nobody has got it yet. You're not even close.  No Gerrit, the UK SE of Odyssey was not the clue. That was me genuinely trying to be helpful (for once!). No Dori, it is nothing to do with the fonts. Well, I'll leave you all guessing because if I stay up much longer, I'll fall asleep at the computer. Ooop, too late!  Goodnight all! Roger |

Hmm... well, all I can think of is this: Pure and Odyssey were excellent, but Treasure was EXQUISITE! |

Just guessing here, Roger. The UK version of "Treasure" has a duet with Humphrey Berney, the UK version of "Odyssey" has a duet with Andrea Bocelli. As far as I can tell, the UK version of "Pure" has no duet at all.  But that duet is still on the UK SE of Odyssey.  OR, "Pure" was released the 15th of September (2003), and "Odyssey" was released the 26th of September (2005). Both are months in the fall season here in the States. Treasure was the first release of an international album in the spring time - or close enough to spring time (disregarding the UK SE of "Odyssey"). I'm stumped. -Eric |

Giles Martin was not involved in Treasure. I noticed that as when, I received my CD and seriously wondered why he wasn't involved in Treasure considering he contributed so, so much to Hayley's success with her two previous albums. |
