[[ASIN:B0000041N1 Vivaldi Edition Vol. 2]]

[[ASIN:B00000C2F9 Vivaldi: Sacred Music [Germany]]]

This is a 40 Decca CD set, which can be acquired with some Marketplace vendors for as low as sixty dollars.  The accompanying booklet is a meager affair (definitely not five stars here), it is just a works index together with track listings and timings. In short, the program booklet is slim pickings.  Flimsy, paper CD sleeves (easily torn) slide out of what appears to be an equally built, but outwardly attractively packaged cardboard box slipcase with several Venetian scenes included.  While I am almost tempted to take away one of the "stars" for the outward package, which sort of looks like one I would have a private printer on commission utilize if I wanted to take up recording piracy as a profession by duplicating the material myself,  I would give it five stars for the sound alone-state of the art for the 1970s, with I Musici and Vittorio Negri.

On one forth of the box, amounting to the first ten compact discs is another incarnation of the former VIVALDI EDITION VOLUME 1(PHILIPS' out of print RED BOX):

Trio Sonatas (Suonate da camera a 3), for 2 violins & continuo, Op. 1
with Musici, Franco Gulli, Bruno Canino, Rohan de Saram, Salvatore Accardo

Concertos (6) for 5 instruments, Op. 6
with Musici, Pina Carmirelli

Making up the next nine compact discs is the former VIVALDI EDITION VOLUME 2 (PHILIPS' out of print GREEN BOX):
"This second set of Vivaldi "published works" contains his most famous work of all--"The Four Seasons," part of the Twelve Violin Concertos, op. 8. In fact, there's really a lot of very fine music in this huge collection of concertos and sonatas. For years, centuries in fact, it was believed that this body of music essentially captured Vivaldi's life work. Then, in the early years of this century, a whole slew of music was discovered in various libraries around Europe and Vivaldi became the Concerto King, with over 600 of those works to his credit. The advantage to starting your collection with the published works is twofold. First, you've got to start somewhere, and second, these are the works that the composer felt worth publishing. Given the excellent performances, this is a great way to get a lot of Vivaldi for a little money. --David Hurwitz"

Eleven discs here are some sixty concertos for various instrumental combinations and ensembles.  While I had the original first two Philips (Red and Green) boxes in their previous incarnation.  About half of the collected works here was a new acquisition for me.  As it is almost impossible to acquire any Vivaldi collection in depth without some duplication, the investment of sixty dollars to acquire twenty one additional full length discs of Vivaldi at such a low price was,...irresistible!

The Naïve recording label is putting out a complete Vivaldi Edition which is a work in slow, if not meandering progress, each album at or near at full price, which will take place for many years.  One of its volumes, Operas, has been issued on twenty nine compact discs, and for Vivaldi completionists, supplementing that set with this one at less than two dollars a disk, which has some two hundred concertos and sonatas, plus most, if not all of the sacred works (three dozen), may be the way to go.


title: Music

text: The delivery was quick and the item seemed brand new.  It is a Christmas present so I don't know if the sound and music is as anticipated.


title: It's PERFECT! Thank you

text: Well worth the wait. It's PERFECT! Thank you.


title: Great

text: Like the music


title: Buckingham Nicks - Live

text: The sound is good to very good.  Highly recommended for anyone that wants to hear what Buckingham Nicks sounded line live.


title: Not their best

text: Some good looks, but lacks that classic Pretenders sound,


title: Great Music Great Memories

text:
Bought this cd when it first came out. One of my favorite cds. Lost it after a divorce and three moves. Great music and sounds.
I was surprised that Amazon had it.
Thanks Amazon for all the good memories. I have played 3 to 4 times a day since receiving it.


title: Five Stars

text: Fantastic music from a master violinist. Please release a digital version on CD. Thank you!


title: LONG overdue re-issue of a very underappreciated album.

text:
The eight five-star reviews on Amazon for "Road to Travel" (as of today) notwithstanding, I would say "Inside..." is a much better album... definitely Bert's best (and I believe I have all Bert Sommer's albums).

First, it includes the excellent near-hit-should've-been-one "We're All Playing In The Same Band" & its flip side "It's A Beautiful Day." Then you get "Smile", The Grand Pianist" & other good/decent/solid cuts. Even the cover of S&G's "America" is not bad.

Be forewarned that this CD does not appear to have been mastered from the original session master tapes--  and was quite probably done from pristine vinyl. There are also no bonus cuts. That said, the sound quality is decent, with only limited vocal hiss ("s" as "sh", etc.) & tininess. So, despite the very high price, this CD is worth grabbing if you like Sommer.


title: Album not so hot, but Tragedy is on it! (Forgotten '80s pop/rock classic)

text: The album may be somewhat weak, but if you don't have to overpay for a copy in good shape, it may be worth it just to get the gem "Tragedy."


title: Effectively one-stop shopping for Pat Boone's Dot hits

text: Very comprehensive, with good sound quality... at a bargain price- at least from the right vendor. (You can program around the stuff you don't want...)


title: Still not the US chart single, but getting closer (& not bad)!

text:
The English version is the English version... literally. The US version was a cross between the French (note the horns near the end) & the British (assuming this is the hit version from 1971, the British appears to have added percussion & re-mixed the song, with no horns). The versions on this CD (green cover; see other reviews) are still worth having, and there are some other decent songs on the album.

Anybody know how to get the U.S. single version on CD (hopefully in stereo)?


title: Contains an excellent, very hard-to-find song from the early '70s

text:
AvidOldiesCollector wrote a nice review, to which I add:

This CD includes "Lights of Tucson" in stereo from the master tapes, so if you have been looking for that song, grab this CD before the price gets jacked up. [The vendors who have it now have some decent prices, especially for used copies, so I'm not slamming them. It's the guys who think everything which ever went out of print is suddenly worth $30-$40-$50 bucks who irritate me (and do not get my $$$)]

Also- Please note that a couple of the older cuts are NOT from master tapes, and the sound quality on only those few is poor. But that's not a deterrent to purchasing this CD, as Ace & others have those cuts well-covered.


title: This album SCREAMS out for a CD reissue!

text: By far Bert's best album, MUCH better than the album which did get re-issued on CD. (Sadly, I would guess weak sales on that one helped prevent getting this one reissued)<br />This album contains the outstanding "We're All Playing In The Same Band", which nearly cracked the Top 40, and is solid throughout.


Highly anticipated this release of a live Cars show.  I'd consider this sub par.  Based on audio recording.  Band is still young and finding their path.<br />Still a must for Cars fans however.  Vinyl stamp on side 4 is nice to display.


title: My bad.

text: Could not see the video, it's not for the USA zone. Received when I was out of town, so did not see it when arrived. I trust Amazon on this one, to match the zone buyer with the product, didn't specified the same on the product data; My bad.


title: Exactly what I was looking for

text: This is just like the original I had in the days it came out. It's worth the extra cost to get the original with hologram and all.


title: Five Stars

text: Great and speedy service!

title: Super Schubert

text: With the situation in the world the last two years affecting the live performance of music I have gone to buying complete symphony sets by various composers some who were never on my radar for purchase but familiar with in passing. Schubert is one of these. I can't say if these are good performances or not and only went by what I read from other people who purchased this and liked them. I do know you can't go wrong with HVK and the BP. As I said I am familiar with Schubert in passing as far as the era when he was composing and what his music sounds like. I can truly say I am very pleased with this. I too like these performances  very much. Schubert's symphonies are short and sweet; he makes his musical point and moves on quickly. If you are familiar with Beethoven and his symphonies you will like these. These are bold dramatic and powerful yet also very melodic  tuneful and all full of rich musical color. I also got these "used very good" for an incredible price so I really couldn't go wrong.


title: Linda Ronstadt Remembered

text: The CD is awesome, Linda Ronstadt supurb!


title: Some Great Moments but...

text: Essentially I liked this album but one of my issues with it is that Szabo seems to have forsaken his Hungarian roots for a more western sound. Since his playing is quite exceptional it's certainly no showstopper for me it's just that what attracted my to him in the first place was his unique sound. Secondly Szabo attempts to sing on a couple of tracks. All I can say about that is as singer he made a great guitarist. Fortunately he does not sing the entire song in either case leaving ample time for his playing although both of those tracks are the two weakest on the album.


title: Grab It Now Don't Wait

text: I have all the sets 1959 thru 1962 The quality varies from song to song from excellent to good.  You get your money's worth.  120 songs all original songs by original artists(no re-recording)


title: A song that rings truth to it....

text: I had bought the album in 1977 when it first came out, and when I had a chance to get the MP3 files I grabbed it. I would recommend that all buy this recording....


title: Yodeling Wieners!

text: Heard the Yodeling Wiener song on Sirius Broadway's Bests 77 and almost had a car accident from laughing so much while listening and driving.  If the rest of this CD is one-half as funny then it would have well earned at least 4 stars.  When will it be available????


title: It doesn't get any better than this

text: It doesn't get any better than this.  George Strait is truly the King of Country Music!


title: Awesome Instrumental Outing

text: Guthrie, Jim & Dave did an amazing job on this record and the playing is top shelf. Highly recommended!


title: music to transport you away

text: Wish I could speak Portuguese but guess it really doesn't matter. This music and Emicida's voice are delicious!


title: Customer Satisfaction!!

text: Excellent!!! 👏👀


title: 1 to 2 very good choral works.  2006, but excellent value Used, e.g. shipped from Germany

text:
Just a note, if anyone else comes across this Scala & Kolacny Brothers 2-disc set, with the haunting track "Self-fulfiling Prophecy".  With better fidelity actually, than as played over the opening credits of OTS "We Are the Night".

"It All Leads to This" -- a production with perhaps 46 (?) female chorus members, live not looped.  Which is quite amazing, so I feel guilty critiquing anything else so far after the fact.  But in fairness to listeners, the arrangements and audio recording are rather lacking in other tracks.  Kind of a stunning opportunity, lost.

Arrangements offer little variations of harmony/ melody (e.g. counterpoint) within the chorus, and thus are not much better than one or two singers looped.  And varying  a bit by track, at least one component, like a piano accompanyment, sounds like it's at the bottom of a nearby well.  Still worth picking up used.  Cheers.


title: Buck Rogers Comes Alive in Digital Stereo

text: Its like listening to the show in my car! Everything was captured in this package. Musical cues, bumpers and background mood music. You won't be disappointed!


title: Erotic Cakes CD Back in Print!

text:
Listen to Guthrie Govan's "Erotic Cakes" and you'll hear some of the most innovative and exciting fusion guitar playing you'll ever hear.  As other reviewers have noted, Guthrie is much more than a mere shredder (though he is easily one of the most skilled and musically knowledgeable shredders of all time).  Plus, in my opinion, Guthrie has his own unique style.  Yet, when you listen to this CD what makes the biggest impact is the music itself as Guthrie's songwriting skills are top notch.

This CD also comes with a colorful, glossy 16-page (including the covers) booklet in which Guthrie himself details the inspiration for each song (including the title track, "Erotic Cakes").  This also gives you a lot of insight into the way Guthrie thinks and his approach to music in general.

One of the best songs on this CD is called "Fives."  If you're not familiar with this song, then I echo another reviewer's suggestion that you go to YouTube and watch (listen to) Guthrie Govan's incendiary performance of this song (as of this writing, it has 1,876,708 views and a 97% 'Like' rating).  Guitar great Lee Ritenour was so impressed with Guthrie's performance of this song (presumably from viewing the YouTube video), that he made Guthrie one of the featured guitar players on his "6 String Theory" CD and had Guthrie record another version of "Fives" accompanied by bassist extraordaire Tal Wilkenfeld and legendary drummer Vinnie Colaiuta.

And now for the best part:  after being out of print for quite some time, the "Erotic Cakes" CD is once again in print with distribution rights going to another company.  As of this writing (9/18/2011), the reissued CD is going for about $17.00 (plus shipping).  Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, this CD is not being offered here on Amazon at that low price (however, Amazon might start carrying the reissued CD at any time).  In the meantime, you can purchase the reissued "Erotic Cakes" CD by following these instructions:

1.)  Google (and then go to):  Guthrie Govan official website.
2.)  Once at his website, click on the link "Official Discussion Board" (takes you to the board index).
3.)  Next, click on the link "Guthrie Govan Discussion."
4.)  Once there, you'll find a sticky thread with instructions on how to order the reissued "Erotic Cakes" CD.

Note, this review is based on the originally issued version of the "Erotic Cakes" CD.  I'm assuming that the reissued version will be identical (except that it is being distributed by a different company).

The competition was certainly stiff... from a 10 year old opera angel to prince poppycock... but out of this rises the most soulful voice since Ray Charles... Michael Grimm.

Sure, he's got a heart touching story: his Grandparent's home being destroyed in Katrina.  But many contestants have stories that move us.  Michael backs it up with TALENT!

I agree with Howie Mandel when he said that Michael's music is something that he would download and listen to in his car.  I not only agree, I have done it.

My compliments on an excellent collection of songs ideally suited to your voice, Michael.  I am one of millions that will become fans in years to come.

title: Great selection of Yoakam originals and covers

text: I'm admittedly  a Dwight Yoakam fan so I really enjoyed this eclectic mix of 19 songs.  Traditional Yoakam hits Streets of Bakersfield (with Buck Owens) and Guitars, Cadillacs to his covers of Ring of Fire, Heartaches By The Number, Good time Charlie to North to Alaska, Oh Lonesome Me and Today I Started Loving You Again.  This is a great listen to Dwight Yoakam and his continuation of the Bakersfield Sound.


title: Closing Time is a major hit!

text: Although I purchased this CD for "Closing Time" I was impressed with a number of other cuts making it a great purchase.


title: A must have album

text: I just bought this CD and it is amazing. Sean Devine has a wonderfully unique voice, raspy and honest. His songs are passionate and emotional. The lyrics are truly spoken from the heart.  This is feel good music that is easy to get lost in. The album has a diverse range of music, from soulful and bluesy to lighthearted and comforting. Sean and his musicians are very talented artists. I would recommend this CD to everyone.


title: An old favorite of mine

text: There is one particular song on this album that brings back fond memories from 60 years ago. That was the main reason I purchased the LP about 50 years ago. However, it got damaged and I have been hoping to find a CD version ever since. I couldn't believe when my search yielded a very good used CD of this album. I have had it about 4 weeks and have played about 6 times. Love it


title: I mean, it's Paul McCartney!

text: These songs are mellow - definitely with the flavor of Paul.  The album was somewhat made as a tribute to Paul's father who was a musician as well.  These melodies are some of Paul's father, Jim's favorites.  I enjoy this  album as soft background music.


title: Worth every penny

text: First class performances and first class sound. It doesn't get better than this. A fantastic showoff disc for multichannel audio systems


title: I have searched and searched for years for a copy of The Earth which is my very favorite. Finally gave up some time ago only to ...

Had the vinyls of all three since the beginning and lost my 33's some years ago.I have searched and searched for years for a copy of The Earth which is my very favorite.  Finally gave up some time ago only to find when rummaging around Amazon "The Trilogy" for me to scoff up.

Cannot thank Amazon enough for having this wonderful set.  It will be cherished.


title: nice

text: nice worship music - but not modern music


title: Truly fine!

text: Arrived on time. Great listening experience!


title: No One Better

text: I am a huge Van Cliburn fan!  My mom first introduced his music to me and she was a huge fan, also.  I love classical music, but listening to others perform and then listening to Van Cliburn play the same songs - well, no one else compares.  He is magic on the piano and I can actually feel the music when he plays.  So glad he has so many CDs available.  I also have a few of the DVDs of his performances in Russia.  Wish there were more.  I could watch him perform for hours!!!  I wish I could have seen him in person!!!


title: Awesome Linda at her best!

text: This is so fantastic  - not one bad song in the lineup. It just makes you happy & want to dance! Amazing. God blessed Linda for sure with that talent/ vocal ability 👍👍👍

text: Great tunes. Concerts was much better😎


title: Five Stars

text: very pleased


title: Best Thing on Records!

text: I heard this fantastic musical creation in its entirety on a local radio station way back in the 1950s and asked my wife to buy the LP for me for Christmas. We wore that one out and replaced it with a new one. Now we own it on CD. In my opinion, this is one of the best things that has ever been put on records. Jenkins was a great arranger and composer, and this, in my opinion, is his masterpiece. Even after all these years, it still sounds fresh and totally enjoyable to me and my wife.

title: So Mazing Man!! I'm Infired!!

text: I was so happy with this product. I was extremely excited to see that it included a set of photo stickers that were not advertised in the description so that was a nice bonus. The poster was folded but that's fine because it will flatten out over time other than that everything was perfect. The photocard was Jimin which I liked and was really nice even though Suga is my bias.The book was in perfect condition with no bends or marks of any kind. I definitely reccomend this seller to anyone who is a BTS Army. I will definitely be ordering from this seller again. Fighting!!


title: Five Stars

text: Perfect gift.


title: One Star

text: I was disappointed with this CD.  It just didnt have the sound that I would identify as Christmas music.


title: I had (may still have) the LP...

text:
I loved this record, the songs and the performance are as close in sound to Steely Dan as any band can get... Donald Fagen himself sings some background, and once I dig the LP out of the closet I will confirm if he had any other input.
Also appearing are such famous names as:

Patti Austin  Vocals (bckgr)
Randy Brecker  Trumpet, Flugelhorn
Liberty DeVitto  Drums
Steve Khan  Guitar (Electric)
Will Lee  Bass
Tony Levin  Bass
Ralph MacDonald  Percussion
Elliott Randall  Guitar (Electric)

As far as I can tell, all songs were written by the pianist Phil Galdstone, and are firmly in the well-loved Steely Dan jazz-rock fusion style, without seeming like a rip-off.
This record is an overlooked gem.

text: i have read all of Sean Thomas Russell books, (A Charles Hayden Series) but listening to them adds a new dimension them.


title: sounds good

text: nice album


title: Nice Classical Music Collection, No Association with Angels

text: The music here is a beautiful collection of Classical pieces.  But the use of the word Healing and Angels seems to be hype.  It's as if you can take any trend (i.e., Angels, Healing), and by associating some already existing product to that trend, sell it.  It gives me no pleasure to write a bad review, and in fact, I don't usually write reviews.  However, I just didn't want anyone to be fooled by the title of this CD.  I'm a big fan of the 'angel' theme, and of various 'healing' methods including meditation, etc., but they just don't all come together here.  If you'd like a nice classical music CD, this is a nice one......but if you're looking for audio related to Angels or Healing...I'd look elsewhere.  Buyer Beware.  I give it 3 stars because of the classical music quality alone.


title: Great to hear a real "Big Band" that is still ...

text: as advertised and shipped promptly.  Great to hear a real "Big Band"  that is still playing and Becky is the most.


title: Classic Brubeck

text: Love this album!


title: poor packaging

text: I am fed up with the high prices of CDS and the packaging getting cheaper.  I have bought my last CD.


title: Some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard

text: The music on this C.D. is superb! Better than I expected, and get numerous comments at work on how beautiful the music is.


title: Beautifyl Music

text:
This albums contains beautiful piano music by Scott Anderson.  I find it to be relaxing, allowing me to escape the real world for a few minutes while I listen to Scott perform.  I particularly enjoy "Never Say Goodbye".

title: Nothing

text: As expected


title: Excellant CD set.

text: I enjoyed all the new songs, and didn't even know the set was out. Of course, I'm a big Eagles fan!


title: Thoughtful

text: It was very securely packaged. Plus it was thoughtfully wrapped in Xmas paper. My first Xmas gift!


title: Classic De Palma Music

text: There's a reason why thrillers from the 70's still affect us the same way as when they were first released. And its not just because the script writing was brilliant back then. It was because of the collaboration between Pino Donaggio and Brian De Palma. De Palma's top movies have a sultry, romantic yet dangerous feel to them - and when listening to this album, that feeling all comes back. My favorite piece will always be the Body Double Main Theme. It brings back the feeling of that era, of the underlying theme of the movie, of the characters, and it is as I am watching it all over again. Also, the album features all the music from his other popular ones, Carrie, Blow Out, and even Dressed to Kill. Genius movies with genius music.


title: Great book for learning Polish!

text: I just bought this book with the audio cd's. It starts from the very beginning,you are introduced with the Polish alphabet and  its pronunciation, which is  somehow dificult for the  english speaking person. Chapter 1 is about introductions.<br />I think is the best there is. It's shipped all the way from Poland.


title: An Inspiring video

text:
I lead a Bible study for Soldiers in Afghanistan and one of the soldiers insisted we watch this as one of our sessions.  I was a little hesitant but one of the weeks I was gone and didn't have time to prepare.  I asked the soldier to bring the video.  It fits well into an hour-long study and was great.  Only one other person had seen it.

I was so impressed that I decided it would be my "sermon" one week in worship.  The response from the congregation was overwhelming.  Multiple persons bought this video, or even all of the videos by Louie Giglio.

text: Love Eric and his music. I'm just not sure why it came with a BTS and Exo card as well lol


title: Forever gone

text: Bought as a momento with the original cast!<br />The live show will be forever gone in February


title: Excellent purchase!

text: I had been searching for the tracks for several years; the item was received in excellent condition!!!


title: Seems to be 5.0 mix on older Sony SACD players

text: While my Marantz AV8805 & Oppo BDP-105 play it back in 5.1, something in the DSD signal encoding trips up older Sony SACD players (like my MEX-DV2000) not to pick up the LFE data. I only get 5.0 176khz signal, and therefore must downgrade (“remux”) to 44.1khz get the sub to activate. Maybe it is a bad encoding of the SACD. Unclear where to go from here, but to make a DVD-A of the album in 5.1 for the older Sony unit in my car.


title: Excellent album. Probably his best

text: Excellent album. Probably his best, yet. Received mine today and is happy to say that it is clearly autographed on the booklet inside the cd case. It's so cool to be able to get the autographed version of this wonderful album.


title: Soft and quiet and easy to listen to.

text: Excellent purchase.


title: Great music

text: Great collection of Queen rock and roll!


title: Poor Sound Quality

text: There were skips throughout the entire CD...totally disappointed in product.


title: Great performance by a wonderful guitarist

text: Hey folks, I heard about Roy back in 1993 and I promptly purchased the Sweet Dreams Anthology.  WOW!  That was awesome.  But I am equally glad to find a CD/DVD combo that showcases Roy's wonderful performance at Austin City Limits, I'm so glad to actually see him play.  Yes, it is a short performance, BUT, hey, it's Roy, live and in the flesh!  I sure hope that Austin City Limits releases some more of their wonderful collection.  So, I would recommend purchasing this CD/DVD combo.  At the time I'm writing this, 03/31/15, there are two video shorts on Amazon available for free viewing, of Roy bending some strings.  Great videos and they can give you some insight into his playing if you haven't heard him yet.  There is also a biography available by Phil Carson entitled "Roy Buchanan: American Axe" that is an excellent read. It is extremely informative and very touching.  Cheers, Vince

title: Satchmo at his best

text: Love it


title: Awesome Album

text: I love all the Kool & Klean albums but this is one of the best.


title: Well worth the $$

text:
This disc arrived today and I jumped at the chance to listen to it. I am in paradise listening to these first 3 tracks. I love the sound stage production and sound quality of this disc. I would have given it 5 stars but it is done in 4.1 instead of 5.1

I would definitely purchase this again.


title: Long Healing Prayer - harmonious and soothing

text: This rendition has so many marvelous aspects...<br />It is very calming, but also up-beat and easy for others to join in for the repetitive parts.


title: Both discs sound great!

text: This was a good purchase, even though I already have the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab version of DSOTM.  I like this remastered version better.


title: A great performance of decent material

text:
The band is in great form but SSJs voice is a bit weak on this one.  If you like the horns as I do you'll really dig this: there are five of them and they're mixed like some old Stax/Volt Revue so they just about blow your head off when they come in.

The concept is a live gig where the band does the entire Little Steven lp "Men Without Women".  This was a mixed record in my opinion - the high points were brilliant but in between there were a number of tracks that didn't carry their share of the load.  Played live, these weaker songs stall the momentum even though others are so strong.  When the band finishes up the lp proper and hits the bonus tracks, the thing really takes off: "This Time It's For Real" blazes with the kind of energy a band half as old would be proud to muster.  The poignant intro to "It's Been A Long Time" where Van Zandt ticks off the names of recently lost comrades really gives the heart a nostalgic tug.  And the intro to "Broke Down Piece Of Man" will crack you up: Southside starts with a solo vocal and Van Zandt doesn't come in for his part because SSJ is way off key.  He points this out, and SSJ says he doesn't give a damn what key its in.  So they do the intro in SSJ's key, and the band comes in with the key the song is meant to be in.  In the background you hear SSJ say "What they don't know won't hurt them".  Typical SSJ slapstick and part of what makes them such an endearing band.

It's an amazingly professional gig without losing any excitement as a result of the polished playing.  Most bands would need months in the studio to get a result this strong - except SSJ they never miss a note.


title: Fingerpicked guitar, played to perfection!

text: I bought this book and tape when it was first released and over time and travels misplaced it. It was a great pleasure to find the music was still available. John Knowles is just such a great arranger and player of the materials contained on this cd, making the guitar sounds that move the soul. The inclusion of the Jerry Reed classics gives it an added dimension and makes Sittin' Back Pickin' a double album with the music from Struttin'. This is a positive buy for anyone who is moved by the sounds of a fingerpicked guitar, played to perfection.


title: Unconventional isn't always better.

text: I'm going to disagree with the overwhelming praise heaped on this interpretation of Beethoven's sonatas by the other reviewers here. I love Glenn Gould, but his talents are more appropriate for the baroque music he is famous for playing than for these classical sonatas. Some moments are beautiful, for sure (Gould seems especially good at the mild and aria-like second movements). But some of his interpretative choices are bizarre and actually seem to work against some of Beethoven's greatest strengths as a composer. For example, Beethoven's flowing lines and subtleties seem washed away in Gould's maddening romp through the C Minor first movement (Sonata no.5).<br />I think Gould is a genius. I normally love his playing. But these are not his best work.


title: I Surprised my Sister 🙃

text: Got it for my sister for Christmas. She was super happy, and definitely wasn't expecting it, so I count that as a plus.


Most inspirational, neighbors and I enjoy listening to it on Sundays


title: Hanukah Sing-Along For Kids

text: I have used this CD for over 20 years.  I first bought it as a cassette.  But I wanted it in CD form.  I use it every year during Hanukkah.  I love the childrens' voices.

title: Evancho-Dream With Me Deluxe

text: I'd actually purchased the non-deluxe edition prior to this one.I wanted the four extra songs.Jackie has a great voice and has exceptional poise while performing.If she stays as nice as she is,I'm looking forward to listening to her music for the rest of my days.The last minute of Nessun Dorma on her PBS concert had me literally jumping out of bed to go running up the street[seriously] to pre-order from my friends in the record store.I remembered that they were closed half-way finished with lacing my shoes.Great job Kiddo!![er... Ma'am] She should sell 100 million records in her career.Good Luck, Miss Evancho!! From a grizzled old Led Zeppelin fan.


title: Beautiful hymns

text: Was looking for various versions of this very old Hymn and this had it.


title: Great First Solo Album!!!!

text: From the intro to the last track this album was purely, Michael Keith, the powerful voice that we all love from Best R&B Quartet 112. I love every song but if I had to choose my favorites are No More Tears and Love. They really touch the heart. No complaints here. Now I'm waiting on the next album. Just don't keep us waiting too long Mr. Keith. Please follow my friend Michael Keith on Twitter @Michaelkeith112.


title: Love it!

text: All my old favorites plus a few new ones.


title: Larry Malmberg - An Extraordinary Talent

text:
I am a protege of Larry Malmberg. I attended lessons from this extraordinary musician for 10+ years until the age of 18 when I left Larry's studio to focus on my college degree at the University of Minnesota. Larry was an extremely gifted virtuoso who could play ANY piece of music by sight having a repertoire exceeding 2,000 musical pieces (I know this after asking him how many pieces of music he has memorized since I had a hard time just memorizing one concerto front to back). I just purchased this album and will return with my impressions. Sadly, no one else has posted a review but, I will be happy to be the first.

THANKS LARRY - YOU ARE THE BEST!

May God Rest Your Soul Dear Friend and Fellow Accordionist.

title: Ultimate touching relaxation

text: This is absolutely my favorite compilation album in this series. These pieces by Mozart are the most introspective, touching pieces one could hope to hear. Some of them absolutely just reach deep into your soul and tear at the heart. Next to a spiritual experience in so many ways. Proof that by the end of his life Mozarts music was transcending anything on this earth. I could not recommend any compilation of music any higher. Just proof that Mozart was the greatest master of music.


title: 4 Him cd

text: I was so excited to find this CD! I had it on cassette tape and it was dying! I had no idea I could get it on CD. I am really enjoying listening to it!


title: Lear keeps getting better and better.... Doin Fine!!!!!

text:
A brilliant double cd from the original European Disco Diva that perfectly captures her recent forays into standards and covers and embraces her past with a great dance set.

The first CD is entitled 'For the Heart' and is a series of covers done in a soft acoustic ballad style, Ms Lear perfectly makes Amy Winehouse's 'Back to Black' her own, highlights on this cd include a cover of Bowies 'Sorrow' (Lear featured in the original tv special with David Bowie back in 1973), Perfect Day, Comment Te Adieu, and the theme from Mash 'Suicide is painless'. It is evident that La Lear's heart and soul was really into this production and as with 2006's With Love cd it contains some of her finest vocal performances. The first European single taken from side one of Brief Encounters is the ballad 'Someone Else's Eyes' a duet with Deadstar aka Enrico Petrelli.

The second cd is subtitled 'For the Feet' and is comprised of mostly dance/club tracks...the best of which is 'Doin Fine' sampling Boney M's Daddy Cool...it is catchy and again like the first cd Lear is in fine form vocally, there is also an extended club mix of this potential huge hit (if radio stations werent so ageist!). Another standout is the 'Pet Shop Boys' inspired version of Presleys 'Always on My Mind' with again La Lear doing brilliant work. Three mixes of 'This is Not America' is a bit overkill...and whilst Lear didnt write the lyrics on this track it reminscent of her own ironic lyrical work. A dance mix of 'Someone Elses Eyes' and two mixes of 'For What I am' (the weakest track) round out side two.

Accolades to Amanda Lear and all the producers involved in Brief Encounters...it is truly testament to an enduring talent. The CD has had two further releases Side One has been released as an 'acoustic' cd and side two has been released as 'Brief Encounters Reloaded' with further remixes of songs from both sides including a Boy George mix of 'Someone Elses Eyes'. I cant wait.

A must have for fans and non-fans alike


title: Two Great Poco Albums for a Great Price

text: This is a very good deal for two great Poco albums.  Seven is one of my favorites by Poco.  The multi-channel version of this is ok but not great.  I have several of the 5.1 formats as well as the SACD format.  This particular format for the Poco albums doesn't quite work.  It is ok but the sound doesn't seem to be distributed correctly.  May just be a have to reset the speakers but I have several others in this format that work quite fine without changing speaker settings.  Still I you're a Poco fan then this is a must have.


title: Celebrate The Blues With This CD

text: I've long been a fan of Terry Robb.  He's been at it a long time, is a blues and guitar virtuoso and it shows in every tune on this CD.  Captein and Hobbs, both well-known, established players from Portland, Oregon make this effort something special.  Terry's solo tracks are as skilled and deep as those with his journeyman rhythm section.  Robb's brand of blues is unique, fun, inspired and complex...he's spent his life filling rooms as a solo artist as well as with bands and it shows. There's a lot of music here and I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this CD.


title: Cool and smooth

text: KC is my hometown, and I was raised listening to the KC jazz greats, from Moten to Maye, with several "outsiders" thrown in too. This album reminds me of the 50s and 60s when cocktail parties were a "thing" and the music was cool and smooth, just like the drinks. Throw in some BBQ and laughter and it was a heavenly night. Great album. Well done.


title: Love this recording!

text: "A Simple Song", is wonderfully moving.


title: Sing along with this fine album

text: This is a very pleasant album. The lead singer has a lovely voice that belongs on a tall ship. You will sing along if you like sea shanties.


title: UNBELIEVABLE

text: One of the best band out of musical hotbed Louisville, KY in the past 15 years. I only wish their recordings could deliver the fury that was this band live. This comes in right behind that. Highly recommended. RIP CHAD + TONY!

title: Thanks for the REAL music (CD) !

text:
I give 5 stars because of fast shipping; the CD was in excellent condition. Thanks for the seller for the excellent transaction!
This is real - and  untimely - gem for those who adore and, simply, cherish this magic voice, and this singer as a person, too.
I would recommend this for anyone, and of any age, who love REAl music, and whose heart is sensitive.

title: Amazing Fate tribute album!

text:
This album is short, but it is amazing. Every song on the album is excellent--they are all catchy, or at least memorable. And of course, it's by Eir Aoi, so the vocals are amazing.
The packaging on the CD is pretty cool. The letters are shiny, and song names are all in English on the packaging. It comes with a lyrics book, too.

My personal favorites are Lapse from Virtue, and Lament. I love love love the melody to both of those songs, and the way they're performed is amazing. I actually can detect the feelings the song is conveying, something that sometimes isn't obvious.
Fade to Black is pretty catchy too, so I see myself listening to it more.

Overall, I highly recommend this album to Fate fans, Eir Aoi fans, and even people who just like good music who don't care if they can understand the lyrics or not.


title: Loved it.  nothing better

text: Loved the movie and loved the soundtrack.  wish the creators would hurry up and make Boondock saints 3 already.  hit it.


Been having this cd since last year sometime, and I can't express enough how awesome it is...<br />It stays in my cd player for months at a time.


title: It’s not easy but it is effective.

text: Not sure why this CD didn't get more attention in the US.  Fantastic, multi layered instrumentation and melodic complexity, a great voice and lyrics that challenge believers to follow Jesus in every way.  I hope there is a follow up coming.


title: Beautiful Harp Music

text: Years ago, I was at a mall, in Florida, and was very fortunate to actually meet Rupert Parker. When I heard him play, I knew that I had to buy his CD.  Recently, I reconnected with a friend from my childhood and she fell in love with this beautiful harp music..  Needless to say, I had to buy this for her.  I know that she, and her husband, will enjoy it for many years to come.


title: Five Stars

text: The album brought a bunch of things such as a poster, stickers and two photo cards. ^ ^


title: I don't have it yet, but I am puzzled at the reviews here...

text: I was looking for more information on THE CD OF THE ALBUM, not on the movie on DVD, which I'm sure is awesome, but doesn't have the main song I'm looking for, namely "Starman." I got introduced to that song watching Peter Capaldi knock it out of the park on a fan's guitar in an autograph line (I presume) at a convention, and wanted to know where it came from, how to get it in the original, etc. I'd heard it was on THIS ALBUM, and I'm not sure about wading through over 100 reviews of the movie is going to be helpful re: the not-soundtrack album. Is the song I'm looking for here or not? It wasn't on the soundtrack album listing. :(


title: Best Celtic Christmas Album Ever

text: I bought this CD years ago, and it remains my favorite Christmas albums yet, not just my favorite Celtic Christmas album.  This album has a very authentic traditional Irish/Celtic sound, not the modernized stuff you find a lot.  It also has plenty of upbeat fiddle & pipe flute songs and isn't 100% harp like most of the other one's I've tried.  Even though I didn't recognize all the Christmas songs (about 1/2 aren't familiar to Americans I think), they all have a Christmas flair and have given new life to carols I had grown tired of before hearing these versions.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome thanks


title: A Very Happy Fan

text: I couldn't wait for this album to be added to my collection. I enjoyed HYYH Pt.1 very much, but Pt.2 shows BTS' maturity as vocalists, lyricists and producers. HYYH Pt.2 didn't disappoint with the photo book as the pictures were very vivid and bright and the text seems to pop out of the pages.


title: I'm CRAZY about this album

text: 2PM has made another wonderful album. I couldn't wait until the CD arrived and it arrived much earlier than I expected, so I was really excited. I'm pleased with the poster I got and glad that I went the bundle route. I've listened to the album plenty of times and have yet to pick a favorite track.


title: A Great Addition to my CD Collection

text: This wasn't a CD Jonghyun created, it's a piece of art. I can tell he had a huge part in creating this CD; from the songs, photobook down to the cover art. It's put together very well and I'm so glad I bought it.


title: i like it

title: Broke after a few days

text: I bought this for my son. He has anxiety issues and asked for a rubber chicken as a stress reliever. He loved it! However, after a few days the "squeeker" fell down the chicken's throat and is somewhere rattling inside the body. All it does now is faintly whistle. I don't know if the product was defective or if this happens a lot.  Not worth what I paid for it and I purposely bought this one thinking it was better quality than the $8 ones we looked at. He is very sad.


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing


title: Dated but good

text: This collection came out decades ago, but quality (which was probably absolute tops in the 1960s) is still very good by today's standards.  My well-cared-for pricey 1980s equipment with elliptical stylus and hybrid tube amplifier passed with flying colors!  The first record covers basic set-up which will work for any equipment.  The sound samples are fun but not the kind of music one would listen to all the time.  Keep in mind, this is high-quality analog.  Digital can easily beat it.

title: Best Buying Experience Ever

text: The seller sent me this mint-condition CD along with a backup copy!  Much to my surprise they included a bunch of extra songs on the backup CD that I never heard before in my 35 years as a big Prince fan.  They are amazing!  I can't thank them enough for going the extra mile.  This is truly one of my favorite albums I've ever owned.  Thank you so much, I truly appreciate you.


The story is great,  but I wish Bill O'Reilly was reading it.  His voice is very expressive and I could listen to it all day.  The other guy is okay, but he puts me to sleep.

text: Every song is a classic and will rock your world. Puts his best songs in one live recording and places you at the Party. There is nothing I do not like about this lp!

text: All the critics seems to agree that Mozart's "Coronation" piano concerto is not among his best. You would never know it from listening to this sublime performance by Pires and Abbado. I love Mozart's piano concertos and this is among the very finest performances I have heard. It is recorded live and you can tell. There is a spontaneity, joy and liveliness that is absent from most studio recordings. Every note is just right. Well worth the investment. I listen to it over and over again. I never tire of it. Probably among my top five of all Mozart recordings.


title: Packaging is a mess, but the stuff inside is gold.

text: Hate the packaging for this set, but love the music. The remasters are great, the demos are great, and the live show is pretty good, too.


title: Good Music

text: This music is exactly the way it was intended to be published.


title: Best Band Ever!

text: This cd is so amazing.  The lyrics and music have progressed wonderfully since their first album.  The vocals are amazing as well as the variation of amazing music in every minute of every song.  This is one of the best cd's of 2004.


title: Shrink wrapped and empty

text: Just opened this CD, all excited to hear it for the first time since my original copy was stolen in 2002. This is exactly what it contained; no CD.


title: Well-written literary horror novel. A bit like Amadeus meets Nosferatu.

text:
Drood is a literary historical horror novel that revolves around the relationship between two authors: Charles Dickens and our narrator Wilkie Collins. It begins with the famed Staplehurst train accident, which Dickens survived (and would later die on the anniversary of). In this telling of the story, Dickens claims to have met a strange man (if indeed he is a man) named Drood, who seemed to steal life away from the wounded survivors of the derailment. Dickens tells these things to his friend and occasional co-writer Wilkie Collins, and soon the two begin a twisting search for Drood. But the closer they get to Drood, the darker and stranger things get, forever changing the two men.

I listened to Drood as an audiobook. While I’m sure the ink on the page reads just as well, I gotta recommend the audiobook version of the tale. Simon Prebble’s reading is fantastic. So often I forgot I was listening to fiction read by an actor – I started thinking I was hearing Wilkie Collins recount his tale on tape. It’s a marvelous performance, one of the best audiobook readings I’ve ever heard.

I guess I’d say that Drood is sort of like Nosferatu meets Amadeus. I believe it’s the Amadeus part of the story – and not the horror elements – that make it into such an interesting book. While Drood and the shadowy world he inhabits are effectively creepy and at times quite shocking, the novel’s rarely truly frightening and I don’t know if horror fans are going to be totally satisfied. By comparison, the Amadeus-like rivalry between the master Dickens and his artist friend who is secretly plotting his murder is much more interesting. Wilkie Collins wants Dickens dead – and Dickens doesn’t seem to suspect a thing. It becomes clear as the story progresses that Wilkie may not be the most reliable of narrators. He grows increasingly dependent on drugs in order to survive his day-to-day and he imagines phantoms everywhere.

It’s an ambitious novel. Simmons’ prose is excellent and I feel I really got into the head of Wilkie. I liked watching this artist go from friendly admirer, to frightened conspirator, and then to resentful madman. It’s one of the most interesting looks at the evolution of a character I’ve seen in a long while. The novel may leave something to be desired in the horror department for some readers, but I quite liked it. It’s a bold, unpredictable novel. And again, I loved Simon Prebble’s reading in the audiobook. This is my first Dan Simmons book but it will not be the last. I think I’ll be checking out The Terror very soon.


title: Classic Country 1950-1959

text: This was a Christmas gift for my husband.  It was just what he wanted and the tunes are as expected.


title: Classic Country 1960-1964

text: This was a Christmas gift for my husband.  It was just what he wanted and the tunes meet all expectations!


title: Entertainment at its best

text: I still have the vinyl album and it skips and pops so when i saw the CD on Amazon I had to buy it. If you really want a blast from the past this Cd is the ticket. The songs are so funny and so well written that they stick in your memory, I know them all by heart and sing along with the music.<br />Duffy in Chicago


title: Rare Peabo Gem

text: A good soundtrack featuring Roberta Flack.  If you are a Flack fan (I am) you will thorougly enjoy this.  But the reason i'd like to grab a CD edition of this (yeah, i know, fat chance) is Song for D (or Donny).  This is a Peabo Bryson vehicle that I assume is dedicated to Donny Hathaway.  You will not find this track anywhere else and it can easily be on any of Peabo's greatest hits CDs.


title: Excellent!

text: If you love to sing along to great music that you know and love, this album is for you. John McSweeney has a great voice and a great band, and the songs bring back happy memories to senior citizens who remember them from the olden days. Excellent. Would highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.


title: George sings hymns so heavenly!

text: This album contains some great sermons in song, and is worth it's weight on your turntable! George Beverly Shea put his whole heart in this recording , and until they remaster  it for compact disc, get a copy of the record! May these hymns light your path on the road to  eternity with Jesus Christ!


title: Five Stars

text: Great Album, every song has it's own story worth listening to, not to mention  his voice is undeniably captivating😍


title: Amazing!

text: Omg I love it!!! Five stars obviously for Twice because they have never made a bad album. I gave 4 stars because my poster was pretty bent up BUUUUUT I dont even care because I got everything as described and I love it. Would purchase again!


title: Compete recordings

text: Complete recordings... “When I Fall in Love” is sang by Sandra Dee and not by Marilyn.


title: great cd

text:
i have been singing these songs since i got the cd
EVERY ONE will love it, no matter your music style preference
you cant go wrong with this purchase
this is also a great gift for a music lover, i got one for my child's music teacher
the music is well played and the singing is good too!


title: Great CD!

text: Josh Turner has a great voice! This CD is great.


title: A rock and roll classic

text: This album single-handedly changed my life. Growing up as a gay teen and living vicariously through these songs truly was a defining moment. Well-crafted songs that have undoubtedly stood the test of time. One of their best albums if not their best. I'm so upset I didn't buy the pink vinyl anniversary edition when it was more inexpensive. I can only imagine such Classics as lust to love remastered. Truly a defining moment and watching these girls make record history on the Billboard charts something I will cherish as well as their music. Remember harmonies and melodies? Infectious amazing classic forever go-gos


title: Five Stars

text: Love the price of this CD, very impressed.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent!


title: very good

text: Was just what I wanted.  I bought this for my granddaughter and she loved it.  Love to use Amazon.  Used this DVE at Bible School and the kids love this music.


title: No jacket for CD

text: I received this CD but it didn’t include a case for it. Now I have to go find and buy a case for it too! It didn’t state that it would come without a case for the CD. Who does that?!


title: Nice music

text: Love it


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome album. My daughter loved it.


title: It’s the Beatles

text: To listen to


title: It is awesome

text: To enjoy the Beatles


title: Shorter than Avril.

text: Very short, only a few songs. I'm sure she could have made it full length with all her material with no problem.  Save your money.


title: Like an old, good friend singing

text: Good service on this one, and a good recording of Mr. Potts.  I enjoyed him live, and I enjoy him on CD.  I don't expect to see him at the Grammies, but I might hear one of his songs.


title: Great Sound, great new music... but...

text: Really glad i got  this disc - the new music is great, but It seems someone/some machine goofed and sent me the right case but with the live disc (#3) and the extras disc (#2), not the remaster (#1) and the extras disc (#2). Not sure if that happened to anyone else.

I used to do this routine when it was originally released in the 80's.  I'm so excited to be able to do it again--it makes me feel like I'm 20 something again!!!  :)


title: Don't bother - I'm throwing this one out

text: I'm not a big fan, but I like some of his stuff. This is some of the worst music I have ever heard. I suppose that you might like it if you're looking for some down-and-out stuff to get drunk by, alone. Terrible recording and totally lacking in production values.


title: Good Purchase!

text: I love this CD! Plus, everything it says it comes with, came with it. And it arrived earlier than the dates given, though I expected it since the comments all said that happened to them too. It also came in great shape.


title: I just like it

text: The style of music/lyrics is to my liking.  Yes, the "used" pricing played a decent role in my purchasing decision.


title: Four Stars

text: it is really good.


title: It’s Richie And It’s Beautiful

text: I am fortunate enough to have seen Richie Havens live. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. His recordings do an excellent job of capturing his Infectious energy and beautiful spirit. Something Else Again is no exception. It is everything I love about the man and his music. I believe his power comes from his raw intensity. No one strums a guitar or sings like Richie. It’s honest and in your face. The production is straight forward and simple. If you are unfamiliar with his work this would be as good an album as any to start with. If you are, but don’t know this particular collection, then all I can say is that it’s Richie and it’s beautiful.


title: a musical relevation

text: I saw Samarabalouf play as part of a "World Music" series at the local university.  I am not generally a fan of jazz music and wasn't expecting much, but I was completely blown away by their talent, energy, and charisma.  This, their debut album, is an excellent set of songs. It lacks some of the cheekiness and sly grins of their later work, but the music is outstanding.


title: It used to be about the music.

text: As much as I enjoy this live video, I prefer Taylor Swift's studio recordings more.  To put it simply, this recording has just too much screaming from the crowd.  The screaming takes away from the impact of the music.  You're watching an event instead of a musical concert.  Her lyrics can be quite deep in her songs, but they become rather buried in the craziness of the fanatic fans.  Taylor Swift has incredible talent, don't get me wrong - I'm a fan, but this concert footage is not so much about the music but the praising of Taylor Swift.  Does she deserve all that praise?  Sure, she's earned it, but Taylor Swift the musician/songwriter can be better appreciated with her studio recordings.  That's one man's opinion and I thought I'd share it.


title: Wonderful CD! The only song that I didn't like ...

text: Wonderful CD!  The only song that I didn't like was the last one which I felt was ruined by the "whimsical rendition" after the ballad ran a bit. This and Ocean of Dreams are my favorite CDs!  It is not often that you can actually play a CD all the way through and it enjoy it all!


title: 95 til infinity

text: Awesomeness! Love 95 til infinity, the feel of this mix tape is grimey. It's a great pairing for warm weather.


title: LOVE!

text: Incredible talent, skill and heart. Love this man and his work.


title: LOVE!

text: Absolutely amazing work. Love this man!


title: CD skips and freezes

text: CD skips and freezes


title: The Brilliant Brian Wilson's unforgettable contribution to music revolution of the 1960's

text: This album marks the Beach Boys' departure from their dreamy and infectious surf music to some of the most celestial harmonies and melodies from their entire catalog. This is a seminal album from the era; any band who was a band in the US or UK at that time was heavily influenced by Pet Sounds. This album came *before* the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" and what's really lovely to ponder is just how all the brilliant artists of the '60's grew and influenced one another, back and forth,....just as surf music changed rock and roll forever- for one thing bringing drums to the forefront, more innovative drumming-  Pet Sounds is one of the most influential and important albums in the history of rock.  Is there a Beach Boys' song that you just swallow your heart when you hear it? Or instantly smile? Yeah; that's this album. SO looking forward to this high quality pressing on vinyl and will update review re: sound quality as soon as it arrives....amazing quality pressing; like it's live in front of you. Well worth the investment.


title: Great

text:
I actualy have this recod it is one of 2 I sent off for when the show was on the air. If I remember right it was on some boxtop offer where you mailed it in and they mailed the records to you.

I am not sure how rare these are I do not think they were sold in stores I think you had to get them in the mail.


title: Five Stars

text: Record in great shape - played great !!!


title: Awesome Experience!

text: This is one of the most incredible experiential CDs I have ever heard.  I loaned mine to someone and never got it back.  I've heard the entire set published by The Family of the Father, but this was my favorite, and 2nd favorite was the Glorious Mysteries.  Absolutely worthwhile.  As someone who came from a Protestant background, this series of rosary CD's has been invaluable to me.


title: Great Throwback Hits!!

text: The opening drum line on California Sun gets you moving!


title: Vinyl as advertised

text: Recently ordered and received a copy of American Beauty that was advertised as VG condition with some wear on the cover.  It was exactly as advertised and truly VG (many will rate VG as VG+ or G as VG).  Price was fair also.


title: for a friend of mine

text: my friend lost her cd and asked me to order it. she knows the songs and loves them. so yes: that works for me.


title: Five Stars

text: 100 thumbs up!!!!


title: Worth the money!

text: I loved all the extras, the care an attention to packaging.  So much more fun than just getting a disc in the mail.


title: I loved it! I had originally heard the work performed ...

text: I loved it!  I had originally heard the work performed by different artists when listening to the radio and fell instantly in love with the composition.  I am very much enjoying hearing it whenever I want now!


title: Vivaldi Bassoon record

text: This record is a piece of history and arrived in fine condition and in a timely way.  I was very happy with the purchase.


title: A little too fast paced for mindfulness

text: I liked the content of the CD and find Carolyn's voice to be very soothing.  The middle of the tape, as she goes through each body part is very good and relaxing; but I found the beginning and end to be too fast - I wanted her to slow down her speech which is more conversational than meditative.  OK, not great.


title: Five Stars

text: Good sound and what I wanted.


title: Five Stars

text: It's what I wanted and liked.


title: Meg Okura Delivers Another Enjoyable Mix!

text: I've been tracking with Meg Okura's career since the 1990s and I became acquainted with her brother in Japan. This CD does not disappoint! Each track affects differently. Some are more frenetic, others a bit more contemplative. It mixes well with her other CDs, and it stands alone very well, too. The compositions are excellent, masterfully executed.


title: Audiophile Heaven

text:
The quality of the sound on these CDs are unreal.

One of the best CDs I have ever purchased.


title: Enjoyable

text: Recipient enjoyed the the many selections and said quality was good.


title: Five Stars

text: Good quality sound.  very pleased


title: Pretty Voice, Versatile Singer

text: Sarah Morris’s voice is clear, true, and expressive.  She is quite versatile as a singer.  In notices and postings I have seen so far, it seems to me she has been presented mostly as a folk singer-songwriter, though she may be best at rock.  Some of Morris’s lyrics call to mind the great Hank Williams saying, “Heartache never hurt my songwriting any.”  So, she may leave herself room to go country.  My pick of the tracks on “All Mine” is the rocker, “Stir Me Up.”  Other highlights here include “The Promise of Maybe” and “I’m a Wreck.”  Add to these a terrific duet on the classic rock hit, “Hold Me Now,” sung with Graham Bramblett on her latest release, “Between Here and There,” and she would have a solid foundation for a “Best of Sarah Morris Vol. 1.”


title: Modern Method Records Compilations - It Truly Was a Wicked Good Time!

text: The first Modern Method Records compilation LP goes way beyond really essential to really most sincerely essential.  That "A Wicked Good Time" appears to never have been reissued on CD is as puzzling as it gets.  From "Psycho Blonde" by Pastiche to "Heroes of the Dead" by Boys Life, this album documents a great deal of what was going on in and around Boston about 1980 and 1981.  There are cuts by The Outlets, La Peste, Someone and the Somebodies, and lots more.  Young Snakes' "Brains and Eggs" may not be characteristic of Aimee Mann, but it must have led to 'Til Tuesday and her solo career in some way.  Personal favorites include "This Reminds Me of the Future" by Pastiche and Bird Songs of the Mesozoic's "Pulse Piece," though the latter group's masterpiece may be the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Theme" which must be found elsewhere.  The case could be argued, I suppose; but to my way of thinking, the illustration accompanying this posting is wrong.  "Volume 2" was just that - the second volume.  "a wicked good time! the modern method compilation" had great cartoony faces on the front cover.  I, personally, still have one of the white on black "We Had a Wicked Good Time" T-shirts that came out about the time the original compilation was released.  Then there is my yellow "Boston Rock" T-shirt.  "Volume 2" also contains some essential material, but this is volume one.  Both compilations ought to be reissued without delay.


title: Best of SUN

text: This is a great collection of SUN Record's early songs.  Noone will be dissapointed.  Item was shipped quickly and well packaged.


title: Fun

text: I love the comedy that kept our parents happy during hard times


title: Used this to learn "flashing light"

text: I find it funny that radio operators don't have to test at Morse Code but ship operators still do when we have at least 6 other ways to communicate on our bridge.  Anyway, I used this program to learn the code for my flashing light test and it worked great for me.  As the tones were played, I wrote the dits and dahs on paper and visualized the light.  Then at test time I copied the flashes onto paper and had no trouble with knowing the letters. I'll continue to use this product whenever I need to refresh for my license upgrades.


title: Genius

text: The music is amazing.  My order arrived on time.


title: Great sound quality

text: Great sound quality, great selection of music and this is Benny Goodman at his best. the CD came on time and I recommend this supplier.


title: music

text: I hope our santions are lifted soon.<br />for some reason i love this women's crazy songs.


title: music

text: I liked her music.  The sound of her voice. Especially her sultry songs.<br />wished she or Amazon would have more of her CDs available.


title: amazing

text:
It  came well packaged.  Secure.
it played beautifully.
Though I can't understand her.  The lyrics and tones of her voice was sent and sensual.
I loved it.


title: Distinct Quality

text:
大貫妙子 - Taeko Ohnuki has a lovely voice. I bought this album to hear more of it after hearing her songs 4:00 AM and Tokai, and I was optimistic seeing that other big talents like Tatsuro Yamashita and 2/3rds of Yellow Magic Orchestra worked on this album.

It's somewhat evident why this album wasn't as popular, as the songs are overall less catchy, but to me this album is 100% a hit. There isn't a song on this album I skip! In particular, the hit Tokai, Silent Screamer, and Kusuri wo Takusan have a way of sticking in my head. The drumming on this album is very engaging and exciting compared to a lot of other citypop releases, and the bass, while much more subtle than the norm in citypop, is remarkably varied and interesting. Some people have complained about the distance between Ohnuki's voice and the instrumentals, but I like the contrast of the cleanly-recorded instruments with the reverbed vocals; they add a distinct, lonely quality to the music. Overall, I feel this is a good album to introduce people to citypop if they like western classic rock.


title: EXCELLENT! The bonus new version of Ring Of Fire ...

text: EXCELLENT!  The bonus new version of Ring Of Fire is so awesome!  Plus, the other songs are the best Dwight's done in years.  Love this CD!


title: great tunes

text: would buymore


title: Great CD of my favorite artist

text: Love this CD


title: Northern Tradition Chants

text: Great CD for meditation and journeying. The only problem is that I can't drive to it, it takes me too far out...


title: A Way to Learn God’s Word in a fun and meaningful manner!

text: It is exciting for me to know my grandchildren get to listen to the same albums my children did while growing up. Every song is straight from scripture. No added words at any time, and yet the scripture is presented in meaningful ways for children to understand and memorize.


title: another great Rod McGaha recording

text: beautiful, straight ahead jazz


title: Disappointed

text:
I know other people give wonderful reviews, but personally, I hate spoilers, so I try to give my impressions without giving away the full plot line.

I loved "Cloud Atlas" and thought it was the best book I've listened to in years.  I could not wait to listen to Thousand Autumns...but perhaps this book is best read in hardcopy.  I could not keep the names and characters straight.  All of the names, of course, were very foreign to me - Japanese and Dutch, pronounced with an accent.  I had to start over once I realized that Yakob Dessert was the title character.  Duh!  :-P

There were not many likable characters in this book.  Likable characters are not a necessity, of course, but they improve my enjoyment.

  While I felt that Mitchell set up a very scary scenario, it fell flat after that.  I was happy and relieved when the British showed up!  Names I understood and could keep track of!  I felt the book came alive when the British were on stage, in ways it didn't earlier.  There was some evidence of humor, for instance.

At the end, chunks of time passes without plot or narrative.  Uh.. What happened?  Nothing worthy of mentioning in 11 years?  Or more?

I was disappointed.  Not Mitchell's best effort or the best book to listen to, either.


title: Best traditional music I've heard

text:
I discovered the group, Farabi, at the San Luis Obispo Renaissance Faire years ago and was hooked by their music. I picked up one of their CDs, which I've since lost, and I want this disc to become available again!

The music is performed in traditional style and you hear it as if it is a live performance. No reverbs, fancy effects or other modern gimmicks to jerk the listener into the world of modern, high-tech, slick performance, this music is perfect for the traditionalist. It reminds me very much of old recordings collected by travelers through the Middle East of street and club performers, before the age of electronic instruments.


title: Songs you don't hear that often anymore by a woman ...

text: Songs you don't hear that often anymore by a woman who was a genius with music and lyrics. Thank you Hazel O'Connor.


title: It was not what I was looking for

text: It wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it would sound real instead of someone pretending to have sex with her self


title: She is very pleased with it

text: The was a gift to a life long friend. She is very pleased with it.


title: THIS CD SET REALLY SUCKS

text: THESE CDS REALLY SUCK. THERE WAS 2 SONGS I LIKED THE REST WERE BORING AND I NEVER HEARD OF THEM BEFORE!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!


title: Lot of soul superstars

text: This is a very good soul music set


title: Healing takes place

text: One of the earliest and best sound healing resources


title: exactly as advertised

text: as advertised.  promptly shipped.  well packaged.  happy customer.


title: Different

text: "Different" was the first thing that crossed my mind while listening to this album. From very soft sound textures to sometimes very abrasive tones, from a "floating" feel to very dance-able alternative time signature rhythms, this music achieve complexity with very few instruments. A tasty blend of contemporary experimental and jazz.


title: Fan of Haifa

text: A fan of Haifa. The cd has a great mixture of different genres like EDM, funk, and Arabic traditional music. What is great about the this CD is the mixture that it has and its not just the traditional music you would assume would come from that part of the world.


title: Five Stars

text: Good


title: It is just so laid back that you can't help but smile and  be happy.

text: Love it. Hes just got that laid back way about him and it comes out in song.  Cant go wrong.


title: One of My Favorite Greg Osby Releases

text: This album really captures the spirit of the time and has a similar sound to many of the great young jazz players during this period. Traditional in many ways but still sounding fresh and current with beautiful tone and texture.


title: Album good, no “free gifts”

text: Album itself arrived just fine, but without “free gifts” as advertised.


title: Hardcore punk hidden treasure

text: This band were really ahead of their time. They recorded this EP when the band members were between 15-19 years old, but it sounds like the work of a more seasoned band.


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing album at any price.


title: An Essential Immortal Live Performance

text:
This was taken from performances of 12 & 14 March 1953, when I was a College Student in New Orleans, and I attended the 14 March '53 Performance.  I have regretted ever since that circumstances prevented me from also attending the 12 March '53 Performance.

This show took place at the New Orleans Municipal Auditorium, a versatile entertainment facility more adaptable to Boxing Matches than to Opera or Symphony Concerts.  Being a Student with limited funds, my seat was in a somewhat acoustically dead area of the balcony.  Like all live USA recordings of stage performances during that era, singers and microphones are occasionally poorly united.  With this one reservation, I never imagined that any restoration of the transcription disks made by some radio station of that era could sound so good, better than I remember from being in the audience.

There are many reasons to own this disk:

1. Zinka Milanov, the owner of the most beautiful female voice that I have ever heard live,  was still in her prime.  Many years later she stated that she was  still singing beautifully when she retired.  "Yes, the velvet was gone but most singers start off without it."  The great lady like to brag;  however, even when bragging abut her great gift, she never made an un-true statement.

2. I am not aware of any other recording, live or studio, in which Mario del Monaco sang with Leonard Warren or for that matter Madame Milanov.  And Mr del Monaco always sounded better in live performances than he did in studio recordings.  [His studio recording of Forza is one of several exceptions - he sounded great!]

3. Except for the deletion of the Inn Scene, the role for Leonard Warren, the greatest baritone who performed during my lifetime or possibly ever, is complete.  He made a Studio Recording of Forza that has a drastic cut, the second of the three great baritone-tenor duets. I regard this duet as the greatest of the three, especially but not only for the tenor.

4. Because Claramae Turner, a beloved artist,  was brought to New Orleans to sing Preziosilla, and because one of her two scenes was deleted, the first of her two arias, "Viva la Guerra!" was borrowed from the deleted Inn Scene and pasted into her one remaining scene, The Camp Follower's Scene.  It is hard to find much of the art of Claramae Turner these days.

5. In one great bit of luxury casting, Gehard Pechner, a versatile bass and the Met's prime Alberich of that era, performs the role of the malcontent, hemi-comic Fra Melitone.

6. I have always had great respect for the Padre Gurdiano, William Wilderman, a great artist who was under-recognized during much of his career. He plays his vital part here exceptionally well.

7.  If you ever wondered what New Orleans's own Norman Treigle, a great singing actor,  sounded like at the beginning of his illustrious career, he appears at the beginning of the opera as the soon to be Late Marchese di Calatrva.

IN SHORT:  This  is a vital supplement to several more famous studio recordings and subsequent live performances that have come out on DVD/Blue Ray with better audio & visual resolution.  The pictures on this one are formed strictly in our little grey cells, and they are even better.


I truly enjoy being able to hear the voice of St. Pope John Paul II.  This CD contains a selection of sacred music, together with the late Pope speaking in one of several languages including: Italian, Spanish, French, and English.  At times he is praying and at other times he is exhorting the people to take courage and not be afraid.


title: Get one and enjoy.

text: Great Album. This guy is insane.


title: A Real Deal Western Singer

text: This is my first Mary Kaye CD and I like it a lot. A wonderful and authentic voice.


We keep these cds in the car to play as we travel. Kid is as pleased now as she was a year ago. Also the  songs are pretty much all scripture, which is a big plus.

Here is a rare recording from the early 50's overlooked by many. The hit song was Changing partners but the flip side is every bit as good and up tempo.Its called 'Think"

title: a new path

text:
This album is a perfect joint of classic, traditional Chinese lute works and contemporary electronic music. By searching the entire Chinese network, I did not feel surprise of meeting lots of Shirley+lute fans. I was moved by their highly praised comments of this album.
It is also exciting to find many younger fans like college students, city professionals who said never listened or not interesting in lute music before but through this album, they've discovered a brand new world of light classic, plus the charm of lute.
I should say this is a successful try--it has built a bridge between traditional non-western strings(not only lute) and pop music, thus from a specific point of view, it has lightened the future of lute by saving a lot of fans among the new generation; expanded its perfoming field from "old-fashioned", "orient" to "pop". Keep going this way, the life of traditional music instruments will become stronger and longer.
if one has ever watched the MTV version, he/she should be shocked by the perfect uniion among the melody, picture, color, air, and most of all, the magic created by this elegant, beautiful charming lady. As a fan said in his view: this is music from the paradise.


title: i hope she never gets to nashville

text: this lady can write and sing with a freshness badly needed. some of her phrasing reminds me of mary chapin carpentar.  if she can survive the media moguls massaging to control her and make her 'playable', she should make it.  she would do better in austin than nashville.  one day, you'll wish you had bought this cd.


title: Fantastic album of hard rock / country rock / blues rock by a great, little known band.

text:
This album was originally released in 1970 by the band JAMUL. They were a hard rock / country rock / blues band from southern California, named after the desert town.  I purchased their single, a cover of "Tobacco Road" and when I played the flip-side "Sunrise Over Jamul", I was hooked. I then purchased the album. It is one of my all-time favorite albums. I bought a copy of the cd years ago. This cd purchase now is for a friend.

"Tobacco Road" received air play on Washington, DC area radio stations when it was released. They appeared on the local tv show "Barry Richards' Turn On", performing "Tobacco Road" and backing Little Richard. Their performance is available on the dvd "Barry Richards' TV Collection.

JAMUL was a one-and-done band, releasing only this fantastic album.

FIVE GOLD STARS


Laura is such a terrific singer! Beautiful voice, and she does all the old time stuff that I still love.

text: Many memories from being in the Navy


title: Ry and Flacco are young on this one, and dumb and

text: The sound balancing is not as good as on other Ry Cooder albums -- sometimes the vocals aren't front and center when they should be. But the playing makes up for any gripe.  The songs are sometimes played at  different tempos than elsewhere.  Makes familiar songs new.  Flacco is wild.  A couple of the guitar solos are among his best, and different than his later style. Especially on Dark end of the Street -- which is worth the price of this CD.  If you're a fan, get this one.

text: So great that I can over look language. Instruments and songs so wonderful. Smokey, smooth, musical genius.

title: Great Compilation!

text: If you haven't heard of Jethro Tull....or don't feel like digging out those scratchy LPs...this is a perfect compilation to please all. All selections were chosen by Ian Anderson himself. Awesome.
