title: Spain Remaster, German Sold, and Plays continuously thru 2 GREAT vintage albums!!!

text: This came from Germany (excellent vendor) and was remastered in Espana to boot!  I have Last Puff and play regularly as one of my favorite albums.  Now I have Spooky Two, and Last Puff, in an excellent rendition of enhanced sound quality (I notice the difference immediately when "I am the Walrus" started) with them playing back to back without interruption.  Excelente!  Danke schon and muchas gracias!  SO HAPPY and SATISFIED - forgot what a great album SPOOKY TWO was besides just Evil Woman!  SOUNDS GREAT!

title: Tom Petty Rules

text: Great music


title: This is a great album

text: Wow, I see that most or all of the reviews are anti-Mike for some reason! So I had to respond. I love this album. I first found it on a cassette tape in 1983 or so and then found the vinyl. I am still hoping to find it on CD format. It's all good and if you listen to the title track it will bring back memories. The songs "Teach Me Tonight" and "One Good Reason" are awesome among the rest. I like Mike's "nasal voice" singing. That's what makes it special. I do not agree with the other reviews you see here that Mike is a "talentless" Beach Boy, and other tasteless and shameful comments they wrote. He was certainly a major part of the band, as were Brian, Carl, Dennis, Al, and Bruce. They all contributed greatly in their own way. I hope that you give this rare album a listen and a buy and that I can someday buy it on a CD. I don't know why that is not offered anywhere I have looked.


title: Trumans and Nixons

text:
I have it on good authority that former President and Mrs. Harry Truman sat in the audience of a Broadway performance of this musical comedy on December 23, 1965, and so did future President and Mrs. Richard Nixon.  Both couples had orchestra seats.  The Trumans sat much closer to the stage than the Nixons did.  Prior to intermission, few if any theatergoers recognized any of the four.  During intermission, the Trumans started walking from their seats to the lobby.  People noticed and clapped.  Nobody ever paid attention to the Nixons.  Harry Truman, who had said many years earlier that Vice President Nixon was a liar, didn't know he was in the same room with him that night.

I may be the only person who knows this, having heard it from two witnesses.  If anything about this theatrical creation survives for more people, it's the music and liner notes on the vinyl album cover.  There never was a movie, not even one that flopped.  There might not even be a video clip from the Ed Sullivan Show.  Nobody is making money from the creation all these decades later, but you can enjoy a snapshot of a hot issue in the New York City of 1965 and 1966.  The issue was:  Which old buildings should be torn down so developers can make a lot of money with something new?  Even today, somebody somewhere must be agreeing with the billionaires who want to tear down the Flatiron building.  Maybe those who agree include a woman with absurd romantic fantasies who is in love with one of the evil demolitionists -- or more than one.  So the dilemma of Julie Harris' character might live on.


title: its just great

text:
What's great about it is this:
1. this era of floyd is just great
2. this is an amazing radio show - from back in the day when bands would do radio shows.  So, the recording quality/sound is superb.
3. the song selection is great.

so what's not to love?  If you like this era, I also suggest any and all BBC recordings.


title: Five Stars

text: great recording


title: Five Stars

text: not sure what recording this is but its great


title: i LOVE pink floyd

text: i admittedly bought this on a whim (not sure of my initial skepticism, i LOVE pink floyd, and own all other bbc/bootleg/import releases, get all of them,  if anything for the versions of fat old sun, holy christ...)... notwithstanding my ramblings... this one of the syd barrett era is AMAZING... i've never been too much into the SB era (my loss, perhaps???), but this is just great, im listening to VEGETABLE MAN right now, so f*&*^%^g cool.  too bad this album only clocks in at 35 minutes, the others are longer.  And after you get this, get that relatively new compilation that recently came out on the best of the early years, 1967-72, also worthwhile.


title: unknown guitar hero

text: Jesse Harper could do it all when it came to guitar. He played in a similar stlye as Jimi Hendrix in about the same timeframe as Jimi. rumour has it that they knew each other and were talking about doing something together.  Jesse was from New Zealand and migrated to the UK. This is an album of demo's so the production is not the greatest however the guitar playing is worth the price of admission. If you are into sixties pysch you should look for this cd.


title: POWER POP ----

text: Power Pop music that needs to be heard!


title: Five Stars

text: Fab music that needs to be heard


title: Sharp Remaster

text:
The singles that became Tattoo You were the soundtrack for all my late high-school parties. So I was happy to find this re-mastered version with cleaned-up, punched-up sound.

The cardboard CD folder contains the main disc plus a booklet about the album with illegibly small print and a second disc of bluesy one-offs. While it's interesting to hear Mick, Keith & Co. work over classics like Jimmy Reed's Shame, Shame, Shame, the same care was not devoted to cleaning up the sound on this bonus disc.

Still, if you are a serious fan of the Rolling Stones, you will want this two-disc reissue in your collection.


title: These take me back to 1978 and the only radio show was at the FOX,  Awesome

text: These cds with the boss is just awesome.  Had some bootleg recordings but these are the best.  Heard of winterland but had the Fox on reel to reel.  These are the best.  Thanks for putting these on CD for listening.

title: Andrew Gold's gift to his 60's music fans!

text:
WOW! That one word can sum up everything about this album.
WOW! Andrew Gold records 10 Beatles tunes that are not interpretations, put pure imitations... all the way down to the production values.
He is George Martin AND the Beatles AT THE SAME TIME!
Those 10 tracks alone are worth the price of this album!
Now, let's talk about the other tracks....
He puts a nice spin on three Beach Boy tracks, layering his own vocals over themselves to provide the perfect imitation (not interpretation) of Brian Wilson's own production and arrangements of his songs.
Then you have Gold doing new, almost note for note, renditions of his own hits... including a full version of his TV theme hit to Mad About You.
He also covers Elton John's "Your Song".
The lone clunker, mainly because I hate the original, is Gold's version of Green Day's "Time Of Your Life". In all fairness, I skip that track... eventually I'll probably accidentally listen to it and end up liking how Gold reworked it. But for now, this is the lone track that I DON'T want to listen to.
Should you get this? Yes! If you are a Beatles fan, a fan of 60's music (which is why I have no idea why a Green Day cover is on this record) or a fan of Andrew Gold, you owe yourself to get this CD... immediately!
Why 4 stars, you might ask?
One, this album is one of the last he recorded and rushed to market, so the artwork was printed out on laser printer, no liner notes, no thoughts from the man himself on these tracks. If there was a nice insert, then this would have been a perfect 5 star rated album.
If you want the music, get it (I give the music 5 stars).... great sound quality, for those of us who care about these things.
It you want the liner notes (which bring the rating down to the 4 stars I gave it) you might want to scour the internet or on Andrew Gold's website (if it's still live).

Track Listing:
1. Lady Madonna
2. Lonely Boy
3. All I've Got to Do

title: Not the way you'd want to end a career....

text:
I found this little disc in a used record shop some years ago and being the 10cc fan that I am (and having the vinyl), I snatched up that little plastic shiny disc with a hole!
I have played the recording a few times and none over the last few years, yet it remains in the collection for one simple reason... I doubt I would ever find this one again.
As I recall this recording is a homage to harmonica-played blues. It's still got your Godley-Creme lyrical humor and harmony, but it was largely a forgettable listen.
I'll give it another listen this evening and update this review.


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: The ultimate bootleg

text:
I bought the original 4 album set when I was about 12. Mowed a bunch of lawns for it and dragged it home on my bike. Just when you think they couldn't further over do things they release all the recordings. They beat the bootleggers to it! I have to agree the sound isn't great but not awful. The eq thing with the vocals does get a little annoying. I wish they would have originally recorded the horns as a unit instead of separately. Same with the backing vocals. It is great to hear the alternate versions of the tunes and there are some good ones. Robert Lamm likes to say sh!t alot which messes up Does Anybody Really Know... Thankfully he stopped doing that. Of course there is Terry Kath which is the deal maker for me.
It is also nice to hear the shows in order vs parts of them pasted together.  Brings you closer to the event and the live feel.
I would check streaming services before forking out big bucks for the discs.


title: Rare Beatles!

text: A rare Beatles treat for anyone who would like to hear them in their Star Club days, the sound may not be prefect, it is still a time capsule of them at that time!


title: great blues

text: Nice variety of blues, some live and some studio. Gary Moore was a master and this CD represents him well.


title: Los Angeles 1970

text: audience recording but a good one ! i just found this cd on ebay - a one of a kind , complete recording with a very cool Coca cola cover . very worth having if you can find it ! very rare !


title: A well-chosen overview of 40+ years of well-deserved success all the way,

text: Anyone who has ever been to a Red Hurley concert is likely to have this superb collection but for anyone not so fortunate I can recommend that buying this album is the next best thing to seeing Red live in concert. For Ireland's greatest singer who has so many hit singles under his belt, one CD could never contain them all but this collection covers Red Hurley's success right from the very early days up to and including the more recent and extremely beautiful 'Keeper of the Stars' which one could never tire of hearing. The song itself and Red's perfect rendition of it make it, for me, the best recording of any love song I have ever heard. My other favourite track is 'Let the Heartaches Begin' and I am so happy this very beautiful song is also included. That said, every track without exception is absolutely brilliant as all songs recorded by Red are - one thing that I have especially noticed over the years is that Red Hurley does not make decisions lightly in relating to his choice of material. Each and every song included in his shows or recorded for release as a single or album track is chosen after much thought and careful consideration and that is why, together with his fine singing voice - the best Ireland has ever produced - every live show and recording achieves such phenomenal success. My wife, son, daughter and myself are all very much indebted to Red Hurley for the immense pleasure his singing career has brought to us over a long period of time and anyone who obtains a copy of this CD collection will, I think, understand why.


title: Must have for Dylan/Band fans

text: Better than Before the Flood!


title: With some bad takes

text: I dislike some of these tunes, which are simply bad takes. For example in "Recado Bossa Nova", a great standard once magnified by Hank Mobley and others back in the mid-1960s, the pianist here on this "Portrait" spoils the melody and seems out of synch. Very frustrating. They should have done more takes. And producers should listen carefully and validate every move before releasing a new record. My advice for potential buyers of this CD would be to stick with the originals! And don't hope a recent recording would automatically beat some immortal jazz players such as Hank Mobley on Blue Note.


title: Pay attention to Mindru Katz's sound on this rare CD

text: Mindru Katz (1925-1978) plays Khachaturian's only piano concerto and Prokofiev's first piano concerto. Pay attention to the instrument's sound, which is quite unique and atmospheric, although this rare recording by Mindru Katz is from the late 1950s.


title: Live At Chastain Park, Atlanta 1985

text:
James Brown – Soul & Funky
Label is Soundwings.
In fact, this European CD titled "Soul & Funky" is : "Live At Chastain Park, Atlanta 1985", already available elsewhere, and even on DVD. The front cover is NOT taken from that show at Chastain Park, rather from a previous European tour. But James Brown is James Brown  !


title: Good, but already available elsewhere

text:
This double CD "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose" by James Brown is in fact two live albums from the 1980s already available elsewhere:
1. "At Studio 54 "
2. "At Chastain Park"
Instead, potential buyers could buy the DVD versions of these 2 great concerts and this way get the visuals.


title: Chostakovitch for the organ

text: It seems like Dimitri Chostakovitch only wrote one piece for the organ (the twentieth piece on this CD), but here, organist Maria Makarova adapted some of his famous compositions (Gadfly; Jazz Suite; Tahiti Trot) that are now transposed for the organ. Quite unique ! But it is still Dimitri Chostakovitch !


title: Some rare music from German movies

text: This CD (ASIN: B00004DTOG) from various artists includes some rare music from German movies, for example the song « Memories are made of this », by Rosel Zech, in the R. W. Fassbinder film VERONIKA VOSS (1982). Many of the songs included here cannot be found elsewhere on CD. Note there are at least two different covers for this CD (with the same contents).


title: Not really his "GOLD" record...

text: It is quite odd to have a CD titled « Gold » by Sammy Davis Jr. while in fact, in this case, these are exclusively country and western songs recorded in the early 1980s. As usual, Sammy Davis Jr. sings well, but potential buyers looking for "Gold records" of Sammy Davis Jr. and his best-selling hits will be disapointed, thus these 3*. One does not find here any Sammy Davis Jr. staple or standard usually associated with his name. And these 10 country and western songs reappear on other CDs with different titles like "Sammy in Nashville" or "Magic Collection", but also "Closest of Friends". Not bad, but not certified gold either.


title: There are 2 versions of Bob Dylan's "Time Out of Mind"

text:
There are 2 versions of Bob Dylan's CD "Time Out of Mind", and this is the second, rare import from Australia, with 2 CDs.
ASIN: B00000G6A9
This limited edition of Bob Dylan's "Time Out of Mind" includes a bonus CD with live material from 1998. The 7 bonus live tracks are: Love Sick, Cold Irons, Cocaine Blues, Born in Time, Cant Wait, Roving Gambler, Blind Willie Mctell. Sometimes, reviews of Bob Dylan's CD "Time Out of Mind" are mixed, so there is a risk to get the single CD version. Obviously, the double CD version is worth every penny (or dollar, depending...). To know which one is which, check the left corner: the double version with the extra tracks indicates 2CD, not on the booklet itself, but on the plastic case. Or just search for : ASIN: B00000G6A9

title: King Crimson, Henry Cow lovers take note

text:
RIO, Jazz/Fusion, progressive, call it whatever you want, this album is one of the better surprises from 1999.  Kada is one of the many new bands to emerge from Hungary's fast growing progressive scene.  Definitely influenced by Henry Cow, King Crimson.  Loaded with great bass-guitar riffs, sax-like horns, guitar and drum riffs, Kada manages to make an album mainly filled with improvisations "anything but boring".  Right up there with the best that King Crimson and Henry Cow ever did with the improvisational jazz/progressive rock scene.
Highly recommended for fans of that genre.  The one thing (IHMO) that this album suffers from is that it is all instrumental.  Would have been nice to have vocals.
However, the packaging (complete with 5 card art pictures) is brilliant.
I look forward to more by this band.


title: At least in the top 10 progressive albums from the 1990's

text: From Hungary.  Ex After-Crying Csaba Vedres left the band after their "Fold Es Eq" album and formed Townscream to release this album in 1997.  "Nagyvarosi Ikonok" means "Big City Icons".  For those familiar with the keyboards of the monster 70's Italian bands "Banco" and "Le Orme", you will want this disc.  Vocals (in Magyar) are non-obtrusive and powerful.  The album has a sombre feel all the way thru and is anthemic in ways.  It's undescribable but it prooves that the 1990's was capable of delivering prog classics.  Other 1990's prog classics in the same league would be Anglagard from Sweden, After Crying (Csaba Vedres Original Band), Flower Kings ("Stardust We Are"), etc..  This album is worth getting.  Also are the first 4 After Crying albums too.  This is not neo prog (like Spock's Beard or Dream Theatre) but rather 70's sounding classic prog (sometimes Italian prog sounding) delivered in the 90's.  Csaba is also a concert pianist so that should tell you just how good this album is.


title: Interesting Chapter For The True Moody Blues Fan and Completist

text: Being a Moody Blues fan for 42 years, I remember searching out EVERYTHING Moody Blues and  first hearing these songs from the early incarnation of the band.  Yes, I enjoyed this music just as much as the Symphonic Rock sound they adopted later on.  It's very interesting to hear Ray Thomas and Mike Pinder, probably my two favourite members of the MB's,  in the early days.  This is still good music, albeit more in line with the (popular at the time) British Invasion bluesy/R&B or beat style.  There's far too many women who claim to be Moody Blues fans, when they are truly just obsessed with Justin Hayward and John Lodge for reasons that go far beyond their musical chops....................if you know what I mean.  Just ignore them if they criticize this music.  I think you'll enjoy hearing how they started out and witness the transition to their later years as the Mystical Moodies.

title: Oh, so soothing...........aaaaaahhhhh.

text: I love this cd for sleeping, and, now that I've moved from a rural area to a more urban setting,  it's very useful to help make me feel back in touch with nature and relaxed when I need it in the background.  Give it a try, you'll see what I mean!


title: Wow, this is really good!

text: I thought this was going to be really corny or, at the worst, re-recorded new versions.  Much to my surprise, this is a fantastic collection of original artists and recordings, AND it sounds great!  Only thing I could find fault with is that the song listings on the back of the jewel case show only the song titles and no performers.  This could lead you to overlook the collection if you saw it on a store shelf, wrongly believing it to be another hokey bunch of re-recorded songs like so many of these collections tend to be.  Nope.  It's the real deal!  Performers are listed on the individual discs.  I think it should come with a booklet of info, too, but I found this second-hand, so mine has no booklet, dang-it!


title: The true Sounds of the Civil War for those living today

text:
One side of this record is a very well recorded, sounds of a Civil War skirmish. At first you hear an artillery unit approach with horse drawn caisson's and the set up of the artillery battery. Then you start to hear the unmistakable sounds of a Civil war skirmish under way. You hear sounds of units forming and firing their muskets. This is followed by the battery opening fire. First they fire cannonballs and then later fire canister. After awhile the battery ceases fire and retreats. I found it very interesting to hear the authentic sounds of civil war artillery being unloaded and fired by battery. The sounds of canister balls ripping through the air and grass. The sounds of battle really helps picture what is going on.
  I first got a copy of this record in the early 1960's and have had it all these years. As a kid I liked to play the skirmish side while playing with my Marx civil war soldier sets. It made my pretend battles come to life for me. I could picture the terror and bravery of the soldiers facing that artillery barrage and canister fire. I thought it was extremely well done and featured true civil war weapons being fired with real ammo. On the other side is a list of several different Civil war weapons and cannons being fired separately so you can hear the sound they make when fired. I didn't play that side very often, much preferring the live sounds of the skirmish. Later on in life I was an active member of the Civil War Skirmish Association in the 80's and attended a couple of nationals and several state and regional events. We fired live ammo at targets in competition from civil war artillery, replica muskets on rifle teams, and even replica pistols. At Grants Pass Oregon at the 15th nationals we had 35 cannons on the line. I helped crew Pelham's Battery as a guest at the event and the roar of thirty-five cannons firing live ammo at will there I will never forget. How the rolling acrid smoke from the cannons concealed the field and targets from view. We could hear the cannonballs passing through the targets and crashing through the trees beyond the targets. The sound was deafening and the smoke would make you tear up and choke. Same thing in team musket competitions when every one was loading and firing as fast as they could reload their weapons it truly gave a feel for the sound and what it must have been like from a sound point of view in a small scale battle. I can't imagine the terror of a huge Civil War battle in comparison! I wasn't prepared for how much the black powder smoke concealed so much of the field before us.
  I don't recall where the record was recorded but it was in the hundred anniversary of the Civil War. All weapons were authentic civil war weapons and cannons. It is a hard record to find and if you are interested in the civil war you will likely treasure this record as I do.
  Does any one have any good sound recordings from national CWSA or NSSA events of Civil war re-enactments available?
  I would also recommend the film Field Of Lost Shoes about the battle of New Market in 1864. An outstanding Civil War movie with a good cast, a great script, and well done movie. Perhaps the best CW movie I have seen so far.


title: Good quality sound of a great period's tour

text: Why is it that of the few existing live boots of Nick Lowe's concerts, all are well under an hour? In any period from 1980 onward, a setlist of his best solo material could stretch to two discs' time, and probably did most nights. But that greedy complaint aside, anyone awaiting a concert from this period -- one of Lowe's most exuberantly creative, with backing from a powerhouse band -- will not be disappointed by the sound or spirit of this 1985 gig. Paired with "Radio Daze," a winning show from 1984 performed by the same band, a bit of playlist juggling makes for a great hour and a half of tuneful music, with very little overlap of songs, including a few choice co-writes with the great Paul Carrack in which he takes lead vocals. Far from diverting Lowe's spotlight, these showcase another side of his work, unknown songs with great wit brought forward by others' gifts. Hard to believe this CD is available at this price; grab it while you can and enjoy Lowe's timeless musical craft; it will age just as well over another 36 years.

title: One of My Top Ten Albums - EVER!

text: To this day, The Last Frontier Band is one of my top ten albums. I'll agree with a former reviewer in that this is such an undiscovered treasure in folk music with twelve cuts, not a one that doesn't get at least three stars in my iTunes music library, most are fives. It's not easy to get these into iTunes (as I'm sure you know) but it's worth the effort and some lost quality to hear it regularly without consistently using vinyl. The album begins with the ethereal "Fly Away" and ends with a brash and hard to forget mashup of "Up She Rises" and "Drunken Sailor". In between you'll find my favorite, the thought provoking "Trees" along with many other marvelous folk ballads classics.  If you're a fan of folk music, do yourself a favorite and find a copy of Dr. Shultz The Last Frontier Band. You won't regret it!


title: Fabulous pure work, but BEWARE!

text: This is my favorite album ever, like the above poster I too saw them at the Philadelphia Folk Festival and never got over them.  I own at least 5 copies of this long out of print album on vinyl and bought this reissue CD last week when it was still available.  On another comment board I have seen Allen Fraser's son indicate that the artists are not getting compensated for the CD reissue.  Another troublesome note is that the 2nd half of the CD is mastered from vinyl, another indication to me that things might not be completely legal here. Hope it comes back and is legal


title: Memories of a Nightmare

text: I love this cd. When I was about 15 I went to a party at a house near a beach tripping on purple microdot. The 8-track version of Welcome to My Nightmare was playing but stuck on track 2 in a small room with  about four guys. I let it play, at least two hours later I switched it to the next set of songs (track 3) and the same four guys started yelling hey we were listening to that! It's been playing the same three songs for hours I tried to argue, I had to put it back to track 2. Welcome to my Nightmare remastered is better.  Thank you Alice Cooper

title: The Greatest and the best controversial folk rock group ever

The Hello People back in 1970 were my most favorite band.
  They were consumate musicians and the flute player went to the Juliard School of
Music.
  They're lyrics were incredible and went right to the heart of what's wrong and what's right, in our society.
  I miss them already.  I saw them perform in West Hempstead, New York.
  They're songs "Anthem" was already known by the crowd at the stadium as well was
  "White Winged Doves".

I bought this album after seeing randall's island as the backing band for Jesus Christ Superstar's touring cast in Syracuse NY as a kid! This disk is well mastered and sounds great! Also, the the import shipped quick! His guitar playing is amazing and what a stellar backing group (including Terry Adams)!

text: This cd took me back to my high school days.


title: This is NOT a 2 cd set like it claims!!!

text: This was supposed to be a 2 cd set. I recieved and 1 cd version, with about half the songs. While I will recieve a refund, I still don't have some of my favorite songs that I ordered the cd for!

title: Beware! Product not as described

text:
Cd is pictured and described as a 2 Disc set that is decently comprehensive of Chicago's career.
What I received was a 1 disc set with an over emphasis on the latter part of their career.
Extremely disappointed in my purchase.


title: False advertisement

text: Not what I expected.  Was supposed to be a vinyl record


title: Sound quality is wanting

text: This cd brings together many more songs than other greatest hits compilations.  But the sound quality could be better. It's passable on most tracks if you're not a listener who can distinguish all the instruments from one another.  Sometimes the bass is off and sometimes the treble, and I found that tinkering on two different machines couldn't overcome the deficiencies.  Not sure why they tinkered with the sound quality of earlier recordings.  The arrangement of songs also seems arbitrary and was disappointing.


title: Gracias

text: Gracias


title: What is pictured and described is not what I received.

text: The description shows a 2 disk set with 39 songs.  What I received was a single disk with 19 songs.  Same album cover, same name.


title: NOT a two-disc set

text: While this single CD has some great Chicago songs (see photo for CD jacket/song list), this product isn't what was advertised.  This was listed as a two CD set, which this very clearly isn't.  BUYER BEWARE if you are wanting the two CD set.


title: Wrong CD!!!!!

text: Purchased a two disc set...only received one disc..... and it wasn’t the one I thought I was getting. Dissatisfied with purchase.


title: Fun excellent music from a favorite band of the 70's

title: In the best class of duet albums

text:
Why is this album excellent? First, they kept the track times reasonably brief -- brevity is the soul of wit. There is some great improvisation from the pianist, but it is concise and focused.

Second, the way the two trade lines in the songs is excellent. I recall the Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald duets, where in my opinion the repetition was too much.

Third, while Tony Bennett is always expressive, Diana Krall tends to be more subdued. Here I find her more lively and gay.

Fourth, the material is so good that even though a thousand others have covered these tunes, they don't get old, especially when given fresh arrangements by two pros.

If I can't find anything to complain about -- some complain about Tony's aging voice, but I don't, because he makes the most of it and can still reach some reasonably high notes -- then it must be five stars. And so it is. Get one of the deluxe versions if you can, with two extra tracks (other sellers have the Target edition for sale here on amazon).


title: Just what I wanted!

text: Great find, great sound. Very satisfied!


title: soothing, fun group of songs from my childhood

text: nostalgic feel of songs sung by James Taylor - the voice of an old friend.


title: Can’t turn them off.

text:
These cantatas are  fresh and new in this presentation.  The sound is master tape quality. You’d never know the performances are more than a half century old.  As others have stated,  Richter comes in at the cusp of the historically informed era.  As such, the renderings are a great blend of the old and the new.  Not in the turgid, reverential old manner (with the exception of “Wachet Auf” which is inexplicably glacial.). They are vital and new.
 These masterpieces are inexhaustible. They sound  as never before.
I find I can’t turn them off.


title: One of the best Albums ever!!!!!

text: This will put a smile on your face, a hum in your heart and put your feet to dancing!! Just WONDERFUL!!


title: 5 Stars

text: This CD is one of the best "do over" Elvis music I have heard.  I really enjoy the songs (most of them are favorites of mine) and like the change in the background instruments.  The only one I'm not real crazy about is the duet Love Me Tender.  It's okay but just not to my liking.  I have been an Elvis fan since  the movie "Love Me Tender" and will continue to do so for as long as I live.  Thank you for releasing this CD.

title: The second creative period of Supertramp.

text: I was given this cd as a present and much to my surprise it was a real gem. Excellent sound reproduction  although I did read some negative reviews regarding sound quality. The recording volume is low but all you have to do is just turn up the volume sit back and enjoy the show. This was the start of Supertramps second creative period without Roger Hodgson.


title: Eagles in full flight

text: I was a little apprehensive purchasing this disc because I'm very fussy about sound quality. But as soon as I pressed play and started listening my fears were completely unfounded. If you are a fan of the Eagles you will not be disappointed, the selection of songs is what really makes the album let alone the quality of the musical performance. What I liked most about it was not all the tracks were unplugged and the change in sound and tempo throughout the album makes it a worthwhile listen. The comparisons from Hell Freezes Over is the new songs that were featured as studio versions on that album are recorded live on this one and not forgetting we get to enjoy this show in its entirety.<br />Listening to it also made me very sad I kept thinking about the passing of Glenn Frey God rest his soul what was will never be again, so enjoy the music and be part of the historical event that took place in 1994 on that second night.


title: Excellent sound, song selection covers all hit singles and ...

text: Excellent sound, song selection covers all hit singles and best album tracks over the last 50 years or so. Authorized or not who cares, bootleg or not who cares, it's not the first and it wont be the last quality bootleg release. If you are a fan of the Stones buy it it's worth every penny.


title: You Can Do This In You Own Time, Marv, But Not In Mine.

text: You may wonder why I'm reviewing this album so long after it was released. The answer is simple. When I first heard it I thought that it was a mess. I wanted to listen to it more and give it time to grow on me. It hasn't. If, like me, you're  a fan of Quarterflash, I fail to see how you can be enthusiastic about this album. Everything about it is wrong - the music, the production, even the cover. I loved the band's "reunion" album "Goodbye Uncle Buzz", which had beautiful songs and crystal clear production. It was Quarterflash for people who had, like the band, matured. What Marv and Rindy Ross are trying to do here is a mystery, but if they want to alienate their listeners, they have succeeded. I have listened with an open mind and with the idea that they wanted to create something different. What I hear is like a drunken Quarterflash fooling around at rehearsal. By the time the only decent tune, track 8 "Little Miracles" arrives, it's too late, and this is followed by "Rock On Little Brother", which is such a mess that I can't bear to listen to it all the way through. Marv Ross may want to stick two fingers up at me for this, but just as he's entitled to experiment, I'm entitled not to like it. And what's with the mushy production that gives little clarity to the vocals and instruments? This was co-produced by the drummer. Does he really want his kit to sound like cardboard boxes? I thought of being kind and giving this album two stars, but when my disappointment is so overwhelming, I just can't. Get a grip, Quarterflash.


title: Tom Petty meets the 21st Century, and reaches back to his roots...

text:
Tom Petty didn't need to do this. He and his group, The Heartbreakers, have so many hits in the can they didn't need to create anything new and be comfortable for the rest of their lives. But it's artists just like Petty who get that itch and it needs to be scratched, and with their 13th studio album (and their first since 2010's "Mojo,") Petty is following today's trends and looking back at his very first two albums, realizing they were great and returned to the style they know best - straightforward rock and roll.

Younger and hungrier musicians would approach the making of an album with low-fidelity, analog recording and other tricks best reserved for the amateur or the foolish, with the end result being longshots that may ultimately go nowhere. Petty took an old formula that was right there on the shelf and re-created his own version of lightning. This album took two years to make, and the perfection, sloppy as it sounds (as if on purpose), is present.

Here's my 30-second from the gut review of each song - 11 tracks at just over 44 minutes:

1. American Dream Plan B - as this was released as a CD single in June 2014 with a $2.00 discount coupon towards the album itself, Petty is still shaking the tree and telling the music industry they still stink. "My success is anybody’s guess, but like a fool, I’m bettin’ on happiness" are the truest words on this album. A great opener.

2. Fault Lines - introspective lyrics pepper this Petty of 2014, and he's got enough guilt of his own thank you very much. Great guitar work by Mike Campbell on lead guitar and Scott Thurston take us to the subtle vibrations under the floorboards. It's a little gritty and unfinished, and it's great. Which takes us right into

3. Red River - traveling and moving, she's dodging karma as much as possible and as crafty as she can, but you just can't outrun your fate. Tom wants you to meet him, and he has a solution. More wonderful guitar work by Petty and Campbell.

4. Full Grown Boy - an almost jazzy down-tempo relaxing number, and Petty's telling you about growth, and stretching out, and it's not such a bad thing to make time for yourself and contemplate the world. Nice bit of music here.

5. All You Can Carry - a good old fashioned jam to wash out the taste of the previous slow jam. Sometimes you've got to be ready to go when the disaster strikes, even though it's the kind that doesn't leave a mark on the street.

6. Power Drunk - is this about former President George Bush? Seems like it, because he sings about the man who left so much damage behind because he was on a power trip, and now the "good man" has to clean up the mess left behind. Interesting song.

7. Forgotten Man - another song released early in July 2014. It has an old-fashioned vibe to it, and it's stripped back from all of the wild sounds of previous albums. Guilt still reigns supreme though, but the guitar solo gives an authority to Petty's words. I liked it!

8. Sins Of My Youth - another slow burner, and definitely designed to make the listener hear all the confessions of Petty's lyrics. "I love you more than the sins of my youth," he says, and truer words could never be spoken.

9. U Get Me High - using LOL-type texting to serve as modern, he lets go a bit here and swings out as he once again puts his heart on his sleeve. More rocking from the lads, and it's polished and plays as Petty wants it to be - fun and jamming.

10. Burnt Out Town - a bluesy number, and is a cool jam with hot nights, dirty looks, and a bar band vibe page torn right out of The Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" book. It still works for me, though, because Petty puts his own spin on it.

11. Shadow People - move over Don Henley's "A Month of Sundays," here's the new old man "get off my porch" song for the new Millennium. This final song on the album is slow, sexy, and the lyrics burn hot with an older man's perspective, from gun rights to Judgment Day. The song is a definite departure however, and is a real radical statement. What a way to end an album, with a real viewpoint about today's politics, and where we are, in "Shadowland," not here, and not there.

12. Playin' Dumb (Vinyl, digital and Blu-Ray bonus track) - I'm glad Petty did NOT include this on this album. It's a serious criticism against the Catholic Church to be sure (he was raised Baptist). He really let's the church have it -  he sings to light a candle for "every confession that wasn't on the level, for every man of God that lives with hidden devils..." Tough stuff, and he has his opinions, but wow... Petty has even said in interviews he didn't know where to "place" the song within the framework. I'm so glad he omitted this.

After taking the time to listen, as Petty is almost 15 years older than me, and I understand where his ideas and inspirations are coming from. I wanted to give this album 5 stars. Is this his best album to date? No it isn't, and it's flawed, but that's okay, so I'm giving the album 4 stars.

His attempt to go back to his roots are admirable, but his seasoning and his experience overshadow his 1979 self. He was angry and hungry then, and had major problems with his first record label when he debuted, but now he's more relaxed, and more introspective, which is fine. It translates well here. I just think he missed the mark by that much, though.

I still love his music, but he is the Tom Petty of now, and it shows.

title: The sad last gasp of what was once the greatest.

text:
With some simple hand gesturing and going through the motions, the band known as 10cc died with the release of this album.

This album was created out of contractual agreements, bad producing decisions and the least amount of contribution by one of it's original members since Sir Anthony Hopkins' 16 minute Oscar work for "Silence of The Lambs."

Listening to this album, which clocks in at a quick 54 minutes and 10 tracks, reminds me of a bit of Sting's 90's solo efforts with a touch of Phil Collins and a dash of Peter Gabriel. A few of the songs are a bit introspective, subtle, rich and will be a treat for your ears. The rest are horrible abortive projects that should have stayed in someone's writing satchel.

The shame of it is why the album was created and the what the results were.

Kevin Godley and Lol Creme had a contractual agreement with Polydor for one last album and they decided that they didn't need the albatross tied around their necks any longer. After contacting Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, the album was begun in earnest in late 1991.

Sadly, a combination of the "band"'s usage of a new producer and utilizing many other artists to help create the sound for their album shows it's lack of cohesiveness.

Here's 10 songs, and here's my 10 second review of them:

1. "Woman in Love" - Six minutes of light radio filler - who decided this would be a hit of any sort? Even for 1992 this sounds overproduced.
2. "Wonderland" - A bit of light fun, once again a total 1992 experience, which says something here - ugh, I really did not like this song - it's like overcranked Jimmy Buffett lyrics and lite jazz flavored ice cream. Bleah.
3. "Fill Her Up" - A kind of rocker - still, it's so syrupy lite I'm getting a toothache!
4. "Something Special" - Despite the wonderful piano of Dr. John, it's boring, the lyrics right out of some amateur's songbook. There's no life in this song at all... yet it segues right into...
5. "Welcome to Paradise" - one of the stronger songs of the album, and it has a cool reggae-scented sound, and is one of the only songs I listened to a second time to be sure I liked it as much as I did when I heard it the first time - yup, it's decent.
6. "The Stars Didn't Show" - Kevin Godley has even publically noted that his vocals here (and backing tracks on two other songs) were the only contribution to this entire album, and sadly it shows... and I liked this song a bit, and I wonder who the mystery "man in black" is here they're crooning about, but it's a short balld of sorts that doesn't go beyond repeating the chorus more than the lyrics...
7. "Green Eyed Monster" - this is the closest that 10cc sounds like the 10cc of old - staccato harmoious lyrics firing over decent music... too bad too sad for them, though.
8. "Charity Begins at Home" - another small glimpse of 10cc breaks through the endless echoes and layering of music, but once again, too little too late.
9. "Shine a Light in the Dark" - The harmonies are wonderful, but what they're singing is stinky, and the music is dull and uninspiring, and it sounds EXACTLY like Chicago's late 80's/early 90's sound, with their middle of the road boring music so hypnotizing you could play it for your 18 month old child and they'd get a good nap in.
10. "Don't Break the Promises" - here's a interesting bit of trivia: this song was written by Paul McCartney & Eric Stewart (he'd been working with him for several years prior to this) and I think this was tacked on to appease Stewart and give the album a bit of A-list credibility - Graham Gouldman was also given a bit of writing credit, too - but it falls apart under the crushing weight of overproduction and moderate to extremely dull song performance - it's a shame, too, because I think this might have had a chance, somewhere.

So I listened to 10cc's album, and immediately gave it away to a friend. I'm just hopeful my friend doesn't hate me for giving them such painfully underperformed straight-from-the-songbook-by-the-numbers material.

I have to give it two stars only because I really don't want to give them one, yet this really shows me that the power of money can kill creativity in a heartbeat. I feel bad for these four guys, because they created one of the greatest songs ever off one of the great albums ever, but this?

This is an exercise in what not to do, especially when you all haven't been in a room together for the last 10 years and then decide to try and cohesively create something again that probably will never return once they left the room.

The result - like this album - will be sloppy overly-created garbage.

Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.

Please check out my other reviews of less painful music. Thanks for reading!


title: I enjoy the 'trippiness' of the entire album, such a rarity!

text:
Ingrid Chavez in 1990 became the female star of Prince's 1990 film Graffiti Bridge, and even though she was an unknown she did pretty well, although for the life of me I still really don't know what the film is about.

However, she felt she could be more than "just an actress" (as most actors and actresses do) and decided to make an album - of course, it didn't hurt that she easily received the help of her then-boyfriend & mentor Prince.

Ingrid, just like Carmen Electra, Vanity, Apollonia and many many female singers in the House of Prince, was given free rein to be developed, but the only problem here was that in this case, Ingrid HAD talent. She could act, sing, and write her own lyrics, drawing from an huga amount of her own poetry.

When you listen to the album, of course it has the total 1990 Prince sound and it DOES sound a bit dated, and Ingrid doesn't really sing, but more like half-whisper her lyrics over funky beats. However, this combination works for me in that you'll probably NEVER hear anything like this on any other album at the time.

Unfortunately, it also IMMEDIATELY reminds me of the much much more mainstream singer Madonna's "Justify My Love" (where oddly enough, she also half-whispers on her record over a funky beat), and to be honest, it could have been leftovers from this album!

(By the way, Ingrid was the inspiration for "Justify." When she moved on to start dating Lenny Kravitz, she read some of her poetry and put it to a funky beat - notice a pattern here? Oddly enough, it was rumored Madonna also "dated" Prince and Lenny Kravitz as well.

She then later sued after she found out she was left off the credits for what basically were HER OWN WORDS on a Madonna album - she WON the lawsuit hands down, so take that, Mad One!

Now did Madonna rip off Ingrid? Her album was released almost a FULL year before Madonna's tribute to sadomasochism titled "Erotica," and yet they sound AWFULLY similar and - IN MY OPINION - Madonna's music in the early 90's began to rip off trends as soon as they became "trendy" ("Vogue," hip-hop sampling, thinly-veiled lesbianism, electronica, etc.), so maybe she didn't get away with this one, but... well, you get the point.

I guess I'm just saying all of this because I'm DEFENDING Ingrid's music, which although is a bit odd, is unique and fun and positive. It has some good depth, and the lyrics are part fantasy and part journal diary entries of some sort, and it works!

Anyway, she did make three music videos in support for the album - "Elephant Box" (which samples little sound effects from 'Star Trek'), "Heaven Must Be Near" and "Hippy Blood," (which got SOME airplay), but even MTV had a hard time selling this one to a public wanting hardcore hip-hop and bands like Nirvana - but a full year later, they embraced the trippy sound of Madonna's "Justify My Love."

This album fell through the cracks, but I like it, but I also like Carmen Electra's self-titled album (also by Prince), Vanity's albums (Prince) and even Appolonia's albums too (Prince).

I do have to admit one thing for Ingrid - this album is better produced and sounds musically more experimental and more technically daring than the others. Once again, the lyrics are youthful and introspective - you could listen to this while driving and you'd get lost in her words, because it's a great feeling to enjoy music, not just use it as background noise.

The album comes in under an hour and you'll enjoy it - if you're into expermental trippy hip-hoppy poetry with just the right amount of feminine power to it.

The contents are as follows:
1: Heaven Must Be Near
2: Hippy Blood
3: Candle Dance
4: Elephant Box
5: Slappy Dappy
6: Little Mama
7: Jadestone
8: Wintersong
9: Spiritual Storm
10: Sad Puppet Dance
11: Whispering Dandelions

Why did I take a star out? It's a Prince-assisted album, which means he probably made Ingrid do take after take because he himself is such a perfectionist.

Either way, enjoy it for yourself, if you can find it - it's sadly out of print! (My copy sounds just fine...)


title: It's Called "AT Terror Street And Agony Way" for a REASON!

text: Bukowski has never sounded eerier than in "At Terror Street and Agony Way". This 2 CD set sets you up, and then knocks you over with the scariness of the clarity of his voice as it comes over the speaker. This  recording has been lovingly preserved by Britisher Barry Miles, who went to  Buk's house back in January of 1969 with an Ampex 3000 tape recorder and an  idea. Why not record some of your stuff? I remember reading about someone,  and maybe it was Barry, visiting Buk about this time, planning to record  all the great Beat poets living on the west coast. Well, Buk was not Beat.  He was special, and you can hear it in the two plus hours of recordings  presented here. His deadpan style, his honesty, and even his beer drinking  is all captured here, so clear and real. I HIGHLY recommend this CD to  anybody who needs the essential sounds of Buk at the very center of his  hurricane. Still living in a three room kitchenette, still working for the  post office, still broke and still working on some of the poems that would  eventually end up as classics that we all know. Pick this up, and you'll be  shocked and glad you did!

text: This CD blew me away! Robert Lamm's vocals make the CD. He can still sing with both finesse and grit as he did back in '69. This will be one of my favorites right on and on. Way to go Chicago!!


title: Brilliant performance

text: I've owned a vinyl recording of Dorati's Nutcracker for a few decades but stopped listening to it many years ago. I bought this and was quickly reminded what a brilliant rendition of The Nutcracker this truly is. The tempos on some of the faster pieces are stunning and bring them to life in a whimsical manner that is perfect.


One of the greatest psych-rock albums of all time, comparable to Sgt. Pepper in its melodic invention and dynamics.

title: A winning album of beautiful songs

text: I just received my copy of Where I Belong and absolutely love the selection of songs chosen for this album.  There are several songs I had not heard before but just loved: How Marvelous and Everybody Hurts. The lyrics are beautiful, the melody and musical arrangement, together with Fr. Kelly's heartfelt singing of these songs makes them even more special.  All of the songs are so easy to listen to and so well done. The choirs and orchestration backing up Fr. Kelly's heartfelt renditions of all the songs just make the album one you will want to listen to over and over again.  I heartily recommend this album and hope you will enjoy listening to it as much as I have.  It is definitely a winner.


title: Great music

text: I have long been a fan of Billy Squier and really wanted to love this C/D but…his voice and the excellent acoustic guitar just didn’t blend that well,  it’s like he’s singing one of his great hits from the 80’s instead of a blues song. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still glad I bought Happy Blue, I could have been happier though.

Very good use of notes and chords - plenty of time changes and good headbanging riffs. Perfect for fans of Annihilator, Destruction, Laaz Rockit etc. Plus, you gotta love the cover.

text: Never heard this band until one night on satellite radio; "Fred upstairs & ginger snapper" blew me away! They're a lot of fun & vinyl in great shape.


title: Fair Deal Review

text: This CD set will certainly transport you back to fun times where you can associate each song to a time in your life that you thought were gone. Part of a set that is worth owning -many "hard to find" songs on this set..............


title: Suprised on what a great album this is!

text: Bought the album based on the song Beauty Has Her Way from the Lost Boys soundtrack. If you dig that tune you'll like the rest of the album. Great seller too. Came quick and in great condition.

title: Direction - Blue Room In San Francisco

text: Someone should get this


title: The Coffee Song

text: If you're a Stan Ridgway fan you will want to buy this even though their are no original songs.  It is an interesting album of old tunes done in a way that only Ridgway can.


title: Suzy Boggus American Folk Songbook

text: Outstanding recording by a true artist of all styles of music.

title: THE BEATLES - Live '65 - Collection

text: Great addition to any Beatles "Live" Collection. Great sound considering the conditions in which the recordings were made. Highly Recommended for die-hard Beatles Fans.


title: Five Stars

text: Finally got it at a real good price.


title: YES A great bargain package.

text: If you like YES and live recordings this is one of the best double CD packages you can get.<br />You put these musicians together and magick happens.


title: Unknown and Unloved

text: I have been a fan of Heartsfield since the early 70's and this album is their best (although "Wonder of it All" is a CLOSE 2nd). I saw them live at a crappy little bar in Rushville, IL. The bar could only hold about 50 people and there must have been 250 jammed in there. They put on a show better than any of the $15 concerts of the day even though all 5 of them could barely fit on the stage. The 4-part harmony vocals are excellent, the musicianship very solid. In my opinion, Heartsfield compares very favorably to the other, more successful country-rock acts of the day (Eagles, Poco, New Riders, Pure Prairie League, etc.). I often wonder how some groups achieve stardom (a very-deserving Eagles) and other groups are left to moderate obscurity (Heartsfield, Wilderness Road). I guess Marketing really does work.<br />Anyway, If you are tired of the same old classic rock groups, but want some great 70's country rock....Do yourself a favor and by this album, The Wonder of it All, and an album by Wilderness Road called "Sold for the Prevention of Disease Only". You will be amazed at the music you never heard.


title: Simple and to the point

text: This album has a very cohesive feel to it, as if all of the songs really  belong together into a whole, like an album long song.  This is the best  put together album since Rage For Order.  Also at about this time in a run  through of the band's material you may notice a theme running through their  albums.  The last song on each album since The Warning seems to be a  questioning look at future and past, and about life.  Try running through  "Roads to Madness", "I Will Remember", "Eyes of a  Stranger", "Anybody Listening?", this albums "Someone  Else?", and continue with "Spool" and "The Right Side  of My Mind".  It would be interesting to try to chain them all  together and see what they might say.  Some might call this album Empire  II, but the is an excellent album in it's own right, and I'd say a step  past Empire, and it also helps that this album has my favorite album cover  of all time.  Simple and perfect for this album.


title: My Kind Of Town, Chicago Is

text:
If you took a bunch of guitars, drums, amps, and microphones and kicked them down a few flights of stairs, you'd come pretty close to duplicating what The Safes have achieved on this five-song EP.

Chicago's O'Malley brothers (Frankie, Michael, and Patrick) and drummer Doug James hit the ground running with "Mind Meltdown" and it all zips by in a near-breathless, spiralling, dizzying rush, only stopping along the way for scrap parts from the punk junkyard.

Produced by Detroit's go-to guy, Jim Diamond, "Boogie Woogie Rumble" is nothing fancy, the essence of drive and simplicity, with all of the fat trimmed back. Wisely, Diamond apparently didn't try to rein the band in too much but rather allowed them to steamroll straight ahead and kick up quite a righteous cloud of dust with a whirlwind of good old-fashioned power-chord crunch.

"Wired" is a ragged, stuttering excuse for The Safes to bay at the moon and, in the words of Alice Cooper, blast away the clouds. "Mental Wheelchair" opens with a menacing flourish of filling-rattling drums and slice-and-dice guitar and eventually manages to throw in a wiry, trashy misfit of a guitar solo for texture. It would sure be interesting to see what their weekly bill for fuses and guitar strings looks like.

With brash confidence, The Safes wield three chords that kick like a mule and buzz like those African killer bees that were supposedly on their way to the States a while back. Barflies looking for a touchstone may find solace in slotting these guys somewhere between the types of 60's US garage/punk bands memorialized on endless Pebbles and Nuggets compilations and snarling 70's anti-heroes like the Dead Boys. Aside from the cover art, though, it's hard to fathom the Cheap Trick comparisons being thrown around.

Sonically speaking, perhaps the most revealing thing about "Boogie Woogie Rumble" is that bands treading the boards in the Windy City and the Murder City may be a lot closer than the few hundred miles that separates them. Methinks that ain't such a bad thing.


title: "OUR IMMORTAL BEETHOVEN"

text: This 3cd set is a treasure found and to own by all those classical listeners. I listened to this set over and over again, this piece of work is beautiful...no, it's more than that, i cn't put it into words, but it moved me. You'll hve to hear it for yourself. I thoght i heard all of his concertos, bt i think i missed some. Maestro Beethoven ws surely one of the many musical gifts frm GOD... no doubt abt it. Just listen to piano concerto #1 mvmnt 2, concerto #2 mvmnt 5, concerto #3 mvmnt 2, and mostly of all, piano concerto #5 "The Emperor" mvmnt 2. You'll c wht i mean...please buy ths cd,you cnt miss!!


title: Took awhile

text: I knew this was going to take awhile to get here,but well worth the wait. It sounds amazing and has been very well remastered. Would buy more from this seller and the company that remastered in Hybrid SACD. I don't use surround,but play on a cd transport going thru a Schiit Gungnir multibit DAC,to my tube amp,out to Klipsch Heresy III.


title: EXCELLENT ALBUM!

text: Excellent album by Diesel Park West, who should have been 100 times bigger than they were.


title: playing it right now as a matter of fact

text: Now as I hear the sounds of Shaky ground, the famous duet of Tom Morgan w/ Allanah russack, playing Jim & Jemima respectively, it's nice nostalgia for this not too old folk. Sneeze are 1 of the best bands in the world  right now & living in Sydney, i'm priviledged enough to see them live  quite often, including 3 hour sets w/ the infamous spinning wheel song  list! This cd is famous fro having 41 songs in 47 minutes. That would make  some people naturally skeptical, that there must be several throwaway  tracks. Well, maybe, but most of them are classics, like Ripped Jeans,  Trouble In School, I'm Upset Enough, Ying & Yang telephone, Create Yr  Friends & the list goes on. Now I'm hearing ['cause you're so] Sweet  featuring an excellent bass line from Nic. Nic Dalton & Tom Morgan, who  both have a band resume as long as their arms, are the stars of Sneeze, w/  anyone who's around @ the time being an extra member or drummer, the 17  second epic Demand features Evan Dando on drums for instance. This should  have been a #1 around the world. Support all the Half A Cow stuff as it's  usually pretty damn good & this is no exception.


title: A lil steep I reckon

text: 1st 2 songs are great pop numbers off their Real McCoy lp, there's 3 others that don't really stick out much, a messed up recording but good performance [I was @ the show I recall] of Outdoor type & to be honest I forgot what the others were but they were kind of moulded together. If it  was regular single price, fine, but I can't see too many forking out full  album price for it. Get Manilow or You Me Carpark Now though, local lazy  classics.


title: Aerosmith, Queen, Shout, Tamplin...

text: It's Ken Tamplin solo... the first two solo albums! I only gave it 4 out of 5 ⭐  because sometimes the experimental stuff doesn't work for ME,  BUT the same thing goes for when I listen to a Queen album (even their greatest hits). There are some ROCKING songs on this collection,  and if you don't listen to it on headphones or quality ear buds, you are seriously going to miss out! Ken Tamplin IS an amazing songwriter and musician. These are incredible songs that have his influences stamped all over them!<br />I recommend buying it, even despite the occasional "Bicycle". (Queen fans will get the reference.  😂)


title: GREAT MUSIC!!!

text: So glad this remaster was available! The sound is great,  and I just love it! RIP Michael Bloodgood


title: The Morrissey of America...

text: I saw an ad for this CD a couple years ago & ordered it. Found myself listening to it more than The Smiths or solo Morrissey. He really sounds like the Morrissey of America, but has his own hip, melancholic vibe. The title song, The End Of Everything is a fabulous anthem of Sadness. Coulter, if yer reading this- don't give up! Please record more wonderful, melodic odes to fallen angels and relationships.


title: Love it!  Worth the money!

text: I've owned this LP since 1979.  My hopes of seeing it digitally remastered were dimming, but these songs sound brand new.  Each track on this issue is crystal clear, great job in the conversion from analog.  Bonus tracks are okay, but I think Polydor was wise to keep them off the album-the best of their body of work is the original 10 tracks and a few things they brought with them when they joined Fleetwood Mac.  Outstanding music from an extraordinarily talented duo, and a great job done by whoever reproduced it digitally.


title: Great CDs

text: My husband loves these CDs too


title: Great CD

text: My husband loves both CDs I got him.


title: Nice!

text: Great Musicianship.


title: Love It!

text: Brilliant!


title: Mo' Rock History, Man!

text: I do enjoy Arthur Lee and his supper-club phrasing of lysergic koans, the guitars, the session musicianship, and so forth. It's not a sane album and for that we should be grateful. Whether or not it evokes the troubled heart of America in the 1960s I will leave to the liner-note writers of the world.


title: Amazing concert to promote wildlife

text: It's sad to think that we don't respect the world we live in. John Denver was trying to get the message out, but yet we just close our eyes and ears. We have to work together , if the animals dies, we die.


title: Three Stars

text: errr, not as I remembered it. Wouldn't buy again unless I was looking for Tiny Tim.


title: What's with the early fades?

text: Overall the Anthology series is fairly disappointing.  The sound seems thin and limp when compared with other Beatles releases, but what really annoyed me were the early fadeouts on several songs.  Listen to You Know My  Name (Look Up the Number).  It gets faded out less than 10 seconds before  the actual end of the recording!  Teddy Boy on Volume 3 is both faded in  near the beginning and faded out almost a minute early.  Why were these  annoying and frustrating fades used?  Was it because the full versions  wouldn't fit onto the CD?  Or is it something more sinister?  I thought  phoney fades went out when K-Tel went bust.  This butchering of the Beatles  recordings ruined the Anthology series for me.  After waiting for these  songs for more than 30 years this was a cruel trick to play on Beatles  fans.


title: Wonderful album (I have the 20+ yr old version on ...

text: Wonderful album (I have the 20+ yr old version on cassette) - they  did a LOT of GD jam covers plus their own stuff , and played a lot around Oxford/Jackson/Vicksburg MS in early 90's.  The lead guitarist then joined Widespread Panic and a few others formed the Kudzu Kings - another great, but local/regional jam bar band.  The mid-90's don't seem that long ago, but this entire album is awesome from beginning to end.  GD meets Creedence meets Cracker meets Al Green meets Leon Russell....


title: Good history and early works

text: Beatles Anthology 1, like most say, is not for people just getting into the Beatles. Some believe the Beatles sounded better in their younger days, and yes, some of the songs on here that appeared later in their career have better versions when the Beatles are younger. Some live versions are good and some practice versions are good. If you love the Beatles, go for this album. If you like originals and do not like live tracks, this album is probably not for you. But if you like the Beatles, this album is worth every penny.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome music!


title: GREAT STUFF! NUFF SAID

text: Nothing better! Great jazz music.


title: Not that interesting

text: Us was a revelation while the long awaited City Awakenings is a dissapointment. The theme of three cities does not come across very strongly and few if any of the pleasant songs stand out.

title: Tull at their Best

text: This is the best Jethro Tull Albume they ever made prior to any best of.  Listening to this album is a joy, and makes much more sense than Aqua Lung  ever did. This is one of my all time favorite albums, and the best jethro  Tull album prior to any best of's. I like this album better than the best  of albums. This is my 1st pick for those that want only one Tull Album.


title: Excellent box set!

text: I purchased this to replace an earlier single disc CD greatest hits collection. This box set is very, very good and includes all the songs my previous CD had as well as an additional 22 tracks. Buy it!


title: Five Stars

text: SUPERB


title: Every Joy Division song that was ever written

text: This triple CD is nothing short of excellent. It has every JD song on it that was ever written and in a great quality. I highly recommend this!!!


title: Five Stars

text: It ws great thanks


title: A Can't-Miss Set

text: Wow!  What a package!  This is truly the best of Ute Lemper, today's foremost interpreter of Berlin cabaret songs and French chansons.  Her interpretations of Weill are soaring and sensual.  Her renditions of cabaret songs engaging and sometimes humorous.  This is a can't-miss set.  If you like what you hear in this offering, move on to albums that include Brel, Piaf and Kander & Ebb. You won't be disappointed.


title: Great Metal

text: It has taken me a long time to fully appreciate Megadeth's sound, but was just recently turned on to some deeper cuts that sounded great so I finally purchased my first Megadeth cd. I'm sold. This collection was supposedly chosen by the fans, and I think it's a great indication of what this band has done for metal.


title: Great Conditon

text:
Vinyl was almost looked new, minimal to no scratches at all, and the cover is in pretty good shape too. I'd rate this record a VG++

This is a STEAL for Sinatra fans such as myself, there are many great songs on this album but none like "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown"

Highly reccomend buying from this seller!


title: Amazing New Elvis Release

text: I expected a couple things from this followup to "Elvis - The New Recordings" - excellent song selection and new instrumentation that makes the songs sound new and fresh.  This cd more than delivers that.  It is great to hear, not just some of Elvis' familiar songs, but also songs that may not be as familiar to a lot of people.  As with other of this producer's products, care has been given to highlight Elvis' magnificent voice, not overwhelm it like another new Elvis project recently released.  It is really hard to single out just a few of the songs for special mention; however, two of the highlight's of the cd are "Forget Me Never" and "In My Father's House".  There is also an amazing version of "Silent Night".  This is a cd not to be missed!


title: A Rare & Unreleased Surprise

text:
This cd was a pleasant surprise from beginning to end.  There are some tracks here that RCA had released but Mr. Reeves sounded like he was singing in a barrel - very foggy.  The songs have been cleaned up and now sound fantastic with the new musical backings.  Ever since I got the "Legendary Performer" lp, I have liked the song "You're Slipping Away From Me"; however, I did not at all like the backing RCA put with it.  I much preferred the demo of the song, before the RCA version.  I must say though, the version of this song, that is on this cd, is now my favorite version.  Especially when considering how the demo was recorded by Jim Reeves, it just makes this song so much more special.  If not mistaken, I detected cello, Spanish guitar, rhythm guitar, piano and percussion in the new musical backing.  Mary Reeves had gone to quite some trouble to locate and purchase this song.  She obviously saw something in the song, which has now finally been realized with this version.

The unreleased demos contained some big surprises for me, including a song unlike Jim Reeves had ever sung before. Some of these performances really take off and swing compared to the studio versions.  On the back is a beautiful picture of Jim's 1960 Cadillac Eldorado.  The liner notes give new anecdotes and new info not contained in Larry Jordan's biography of Mr. Reeves ("The Untold Story").  I was also very pleased to see "How Many?" and "Kentucky Waltz" on the cd.  "Kentucky Waltz" was never commercially recorded by Mr. Reeves.  I would advise anyone interested in the music of Jim Reeves, whether new to his music or a longtime fan like me, to buy this cd.


title: The Great Jim Reeves is Grrrrrrreat!

text: In this year, the fiftieth anniversary of the death of the great Jim Reeves, it is unfortunate that Nashville (Hall of Fame, etc.) appears not to care.  The fiftieth anniversary of the death of Patsy Cline was marked, but Jim Reeves appears to be the forgotten man in Nashville.  Fortunately, he isn't totally forgotten elsewhere.  There are fly-by-night companies issuing cd's right and left of Jim Reeves, with the same old songs, and those not his most memorable.  This release couldn't be further from that.  For starters, there are EIGHT cd's in this collection - 170 songs!  There are 42 previously unreleased overdubs of RCA studio masters, with new backings supplied by CURRENT members of the Grand Ole Opry band  Plus, the booklet enclosed (48 pages) has a lot of information, including information about the songs, why Mr. Reeves recorded them and anecdotes about the recording session.  Each cd is themed - Country, Pop, Gospel, etc.  A lot of people are familiar with Jim Reeves' gospel songs; however, you haven't really heard Jim Reeves sing gospel until you hear the gospel-themed cd in this collection.  With the beautiful new instrumentation that has been put behind them, they will really put you in a reflective mood.  I could go on and on, but if I wrote about all 8 cd's, I would have a small book.  This release makes me not care that RCA nor the Hall of Fame is not going to mark this milestone.  Besides, that would be marking the anniversary of his death.  This release celebrates the musical genius that was Jim Reeves.  So to Nashville, I say - who needs you?  Jim Reeves and Country Music fans, do yourself a favor and buy this release.  This is a significant and historic release.


title: Jim Reeves Radio Show Available Again

text: For years unavailable, these five cds present the great Jim Reeves hosting his own radio show.  Fortunately for us fans, VoiceMasters has made these performances available again; as a limited edition.  You get to hear Mr. Reeves sing songs that he didn’t record commercially – pop songs along with some of the songs that he did record commercially.  And there is also the wonderful “Amen Corner”, where Mr. Reeves presents clever and funny sayings and stories.  One of the things I enjoy about these shows is you get to hear Jim Reeves interacting with the other performers.  You get to hear him speak and laugh.  You also get to hear a very funny boo boo that he made.  And the Christmas show is not to be missed.  All the songs are backed by the Owen Bradley Orchestra.  Owen Bradley certainly needs no introduction to any fan of Country Music.  He produced Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee and many other well-known stars.  In addition to Mr. Reeves, there are performances by the Bradley Orchestra, Dolores Watson and Buddy Hall, resulting in 165 tracks and 5 hours.  I was very pleased at the fantastic sound quality.  When I got my set, I was amazed to see there are 5 hours of music on this set.  Considering that, this set is a bargain in my humble opinion.  This being a limited edition set, I would suggest you not wait to order a copy of this set, because you might just wait too long!  And that would be a shame!


title: New Bing & Rosemary Release a Must Have!

text: This is one of the best cd's I have gotten in quite some time.  The recordings seem just like they were recorded yesterday.  Bing and Rosemary were at the top of their games when these songs were actually recorded.  They each admired the other so much and it shows on the duets.  Bing sang with a lot of other people but I suspect Rosemary Clooney was his favorite singing partner (Satchmo might have come a close second though).  I have a lot of Bing recordings, so I have heard most of these songs in their original, mono state.  They were good.  This recording makes them GREAT!  If you are a fan of Bing or Rosemary, you have to have this cd.  If you like Bing but have never heard him sing "Goodnight, Sweet Dreams, Marylou", you owe it to yourself to get this cd.  "My Own True Love (Tara's Theme)" also fits in that category.  As for Rosemary, you just have to hear the intro to "Ebb Tide".  I'm not going to describe it, you'll just have to buy the cd to find out.  Bing was a very devout man so it seems very appropriate the last song is a gospel song - "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" - never sung better!


title: Stunning New Patsy Cline Release - Hear Patsy Like Never Before!

text: Unfortunately, there has been some chatter ever since this cd was announced, that it was a sacrilege to take away the old backing music/backing vocals and add the sparkling new music that is the hallmark of this cd.  I've watched a few "loud" individuals take some unfortunate shots at this exquisite new release. In some cases, perhaps they are purists who don't believe the original music should be touched. In another case, someone who used to be "very" close to Patsy who may be mad because his palms aren't getting greased, I don't know. I can respect the purists point of view. I love the original Patsy recordings too. But, I also love the recordings on this new cd. Patsy's voice was unique. This new cd gives us a chance to hear her voice in a way we haven't before. Who wouldn't want that? I certainly do. As I respect the purists point of view, they should respect mine as well. No one is making them buy the cd (I'll bet they do). It's certainly fine for them to register their opinion, but why the vitriol? Why the attempt to silence this cd? The original music and this wonderful new cd can co-exist. And they will, regardless what these "critics" say. If Mary Reeves had listened to the purists and naysayers, Jim Reeves career would have ended July, 1964. Instead, he had a career that lasted longer, after his death, than before. A poster on another website was complaining this cd might put Patsy on the radio in competition with Taylor Swift. So what? Put Patsy on the radio alongside Taylor Swift! Let listeners hear what a real voice sounds like without all the gimmicks they have to add to the singers of today to make them fit some lawyer's idea of marketability! I have all the cds Larry Jordan has produced on Jim Reeves. Like those, this one is an absolute stunner!


title: Easy Listening

text: Outstanding CD, very enjoyable to listen to.


title: Five Stars

text: Exelente !!!


title: Not a CD

text: This is the worse bootleg I've ever heard . First , it is taken from an lp . that by itself would not be horrible but on all the loud sections there is distortion . the only thing good is the cool artwork and mini lp cover.<br />Iwould stay away from any in this series with the same obi type.


title: Roll Up for the Nostalgic Tour

text: Hats off to the Beatles for being the smartest band of all time. They know how popular they are. They know they're getting older. So what to do? Have a television series devoted to drawing back the baby boomer's and their kids into the nostalgia of Beatlemania. Naturally, at the end of each show, you can't help but wonder "What if they recorded again?". Well, here's the answer.<br />"Free As A Bird" brought a tear to everyone's eye, and put the Fab back on the radio. Overall, it was a weak Lennon song that was imbelished by Paul's great lyrics. "Real Love" proved to be a better song. It has a spirited melody, and Lennon's vocal tracks are much more clear. Paul, George and Ringo proved once again the band's greatness; they can turn even the most rejected demos into great songs.  In retrospect, neither of these songs can touch "Hey Jude", or "In My Life", but rather offer a glimpse of where the Beatles may have gone in the pop era of the 90's.


title: Disappointed a bit

text: I was expecting the song "Un Grand Amour", the same recording as in my old vinyl, but it was not. This was the only reason I bought this album. I am disappointed.


title: NOTE: Also listed as: "(Compilation CD, 18 Tracks, Various incl. The Contours - Tracks Of My Tears)"

text: This CD is also listed a second time under the Amazon place-holder title "(Compilation CD, 18 Tracks, Various incl. The Contours - Tracks Of My Tears)"  begining at $7.75

title: Frankie Laine's Golden Hits

text: If you want a vinyl copy of Frankie Laine's Golden Hits, I highly recommend the old mono vinyl copy.  The stereo copy is all re-channeled, because all of Mr. Laine's hits on Mercury were recorded between 1948-1951, which was way before true stereo records were issued by the major labels in 1958.


title: Tough to find.

text: This is a great LP, should be remastered to CD. The recording is very good, Roger's performace is outstanding. Great companion to Roger's "Hits Of The Fabulous Fifties" two record set.


title: All The Original CCR Sounds

text: These CDs are as good as the ones released in the 60's and 70's. If you're a CCR fan, then these CDs are for you.


title: Just buy it ..

text: Trust me


title: There's A sucker in every crowd

text:
I own the debut album by Clouseaux, "Lagoon", which I really like and heartily recommend. Therefore, I was suckered in by the two reviews on this album (probably written by the sellers who were looking to unload copies used) and purchased a used copy (only used copies were available).

The best thing about this CD was that it was scratched and both skipped and froze in several places. That actually relieved some of the agony of listening to the whole album. Of the fourteen tracks, about four are OK. The rest are a scramble of musical pap, redundancy and silliness, including a number of annoying voice-overs.

Here is my recommendation: If someone pays YOU to listen to this, I still would not do it unless the offer is at least $20.
