title: More love songs

text: This is yet another Beatles compilation with nothing new.  It has what the title says though the similar Love Songs with some of the same tracks like Yesterday and The Long and Winding Road (US #1s not original singles in the UK).  Possibly for the same reason as A Collection of Beatles Oldies this album didn't come out in the States (which is why my copy's from México instead) nor is on official CD.  More for completists really but you do get some good picks on here.  The cover by Patrick was originally supposed to be for what became the white album but another band using the intended title caused a change of action.


title: More pre-Hayward and Lodge era Moodies

text: This is yet another compilation of the original Moody Blues when Denny Laine and the late Clint Warwick were in the band.  It includes From the Bottom of My Heart, Stop, and of course Go Now to name a few.  There's enough of this early period to fit on one or two CDs with the first studio album which I have yet to find on CD in full.  Only Graeme Edge remains in the band now and even he thinks of the old guard as a different animal.  Like the Beatles who toured with the Moodies at the time which later led to McCartney and Laine founding Wings there are several cover versions which half the set was in those days.  Laine and Warwick left in 1966 leading to the band starting over from scratch paving the way for the next era.


title: The best of the Fish years live

text: This compilation features key tracks from the live boxed set Early Stages which has legitimised bootlegs and radio performances of the band in the '80s when Fish was frontman. One track that stands out on disc one is She Chameleon sounding quite different from the future studio version as this was done with several other early songs like He Knows You Know and what is now Forgotten Sons. On disc two a work-in-progress version of Misplaced Childhood is performed as Fugazi was recorded almost a whole year before and Marillion only had just released their first live album at the time. It signalled a change in direction though Lavender wasn't written yet. Much of Clutching at Straws is here (have to get the whole show for lead single Incommunicado). The collection closes with Market Square Heroes bringing it full circle before Fish left in fall 1988.


title: Not just another mere compilation

text: This is a compilation of tracks targeted primarily at the Latin American market where the band tour less often than the US and Canada (they've even done Chile).  The older tracks especially Kayleigh are re-recordings (not uncommon to have happen).  I figured that was the case but with No One Can and Easter I had to listen carefully to know the difference from the originals.  Later tracks like You're Gone and Sounds That Can't Be Made are the originals as the band own the rights to those and not the EMI/Parlophone ones.  When I got this out of the blue I thought it'd be live tracks but just Between You and Me is one of those since the band have too many live albums I have yet to get but will have to wait for right now along with a new studio album and North American tour to look forward to in the new year.  This should have been released in the EU if not the US as well but good to get one from Argentina for a change as I never had a Marillion import from there before yet I have other artists.


title: Not your grandparents' Christmas album (unless they're fans too)

text: This is not you run of the mill (no Harrison pun intended) Christmas release as it is a compilation of flexi-discs issued to the UK fan club members when the band were still together created to thank them for their support as the bands fame began to escalate with Beatlemania yet they were not on one album until they broke up.  They would perform ad-hoc covers and renditions, BBC radio style sketches in the panto-music hall tradition and seasons greetings alike.  The 1963-67 messages were recorded as a group and the 1968-69 understandably individually, especially with John and Yoko on the last one while ukulele king Tiny Tim cameos the previous year (invited by Harrison apparently).  This never had a commercial release making it another bootleg for diehard fans.  However the idea of festive fan club fare would be carried on by Marillion (especially as an annual event), Weezer,  St Etienne and other artists in later decades.  This is made to look like a Japanese mini-LP but this is not really the case here as it's just another bootleg or pirate from Russia but I'm no stranger to those myself.

title: One more alone before going back

text: Not sure if this is an official edition.  I know mine isn't but you can't tell.  Anyway, this is Harkets most recent solo release from last year.  More organic like his second solo album in English 2008s Letter from Egypt.  The best songs on here are the title track, Heaven Cast and Oh What a Night.  First Man to the Grave sounds like a downer.  End of the Line is not the same track as Savoy (the spinoff from a-ha bandmate Pål Waaktaar-Savoy).  Certainly a different animal from predecessor Out of My Hands which was more in the same vein as would-be a-ha studio swan song Foot of the Mountain yet closer in scope to Wild Seed, Harkets Anglophone début from 1995.<br />Just months after this came out Harket finds him back with the old guard after a few brief reunions led to a full fledged one which means the next solo album may not come until after that's over (and maybe for good but who knows).


title: Pirate pairing

text: This unofficial compilation combines two crucial chapters in Lennons solo career.  Live Peace in Toronto is the first full fledged live solo performance by any of the Beatles (solo is an umbrella term if you like), and one of the only lineups of Plastic Ono Band he was in (Yoko Ono has revived the name in recent years).  The pair of them, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman and Alan White (who joined Yes in 1972) were at the Rock 'n' Roll Revival which also had Little Richard and Chuck Berry among others.  Lennon had left the Beatles but the public were not party to that information at the time.  Some covers were done as well as some originals including Cold Turkey which was not yet released.  Ono of course goes mad with her half of the show!  The video version by DA Pennebaker (who filmed Depeche Mode less than two decades on) has a different mix most notably on Give Peace a Chance.  Rock 'n' Roll has an even more colourful history where Lennon and Ono are living on opposite US coasts (the Lost Weekend) and he reunites with Phil Spector to pay homage to the past as a legal settlement with Morris Levy over Come Together sampling Berrys You Can't Catch Me which the Svengali owned the publishing to then.  The sessions turn to disarray and the deranged Mr Wall of Sound runs off with the tapes.  Over a year later they're found and work commences on the east coast after finishing Walls and Bridges with Lennons mistress May Pang sorting everything.  Buddy Holly, Larry Williams (covered by the Fab Four before), Fats Domino (the same song covered on McCartneys own covers album first released in the Soviet Union during Perestroika), and Ben E. King (recently deceased) to name a few get a '70s arrangement.  Levy tries releasing a version of his own on TV and loses in court.  It is the last Lennon-only solo studio album he lived to see and before his sabbatical from work to raise his son Sean.  I may be preaching to the choir here about these two albums but I would buy this unofficial edition.


title: Record company product

text: I have this on LP and CD.  This compilation is one of the few solo Beatles compilations to have the best of both worlds as far as original studio versions (the two posthumous solo Lennon film soundtracks also did this).  Harrison had no say in this release and felt the old guard were competing with his new studio album coming out around the same time.  The band proper outnumber the solo tracks which seems unfair as he was stifled while they were still together and had all these songs pent up by the time they broke up.  Bangla Desh was the only song on the LP not on any other.  No Indian flavoured tracks were included nor were rare tracks like Deep Blue, Miss O'Dell, I Don't Care Anymore and The Inner Light which would have helped the album fill up better.  The cover you see here was used in most of the world but another one was chosen for North America, Australasia and some of Western Europe.  A budget reissue which I have used the white album photo from 1968.  The biggies are here like Something, Taxman, My Sweet Lord and What is Life?  For You, Blue was included as the Let It Be album was controlled by United Artists in the US until they happened to be sold to Capitol/EMI who could use the tracks on compilations like this until then.  They took control of this one as Lennon and Starrs contract closers didn't sell as well as they should have and McCartneys would come later.  The rot between EMI and Harrison set in with the fallout over the pioneering appeal for the former East Pakistan (taxes were part of it as this kind of thing was unheard of before in those days).  This has not been reissued since the early '90s as these appear on other available collections and studio albums anyway and some people have said that compilations aren't their cup of tea and this may be one reason why as this one was all but done behind Harrisons back but fans will get it nonetheless.


title: Снова в СССР

text:
This is another pirate compilation on CD Maximum from the now Russian Federation released after the Soviet Union ended.  I wrote the title in correct Cyrillic type which means of all things Back in the USSR (that's not on here though).  Released there on LP in 1988 during Perestroika so fans there could have an official album to call their own (I also have the original Melodiya LP) as piracy there existed even in those days.  Similar to Lennons Rock 'n' Roll this is all cover versions (both have Fats Domino and Sam Cooke classics with different arrangements).  Another Domino remake I'm in Love Again wasn't on the LP but was a B-side in the west before being made the bonus tracks and there are more that could be added whenever McCartneys current label get around to remastering this album which isn't easily available as his solo catalogue is getting to be like Disney films going in and out of print with fans being left to their own devices.  Another reason this album came about was because 1986s Press to Play was an overall flop (all four former Beatles have had solo albums bomb at first only to become rare collectors items decades later) that McCartney had to come up with something people would notice so going back to his rock 'n' roll roots thirty years on from when he and Lennon met as young boys in Liverpool.  Over a decade later a similar album with lesser known tracks and a few originals was released called Run Devil Run.  No Other Baby by the Vipers would appear there instead of on Снова в СССР.
This edition has non-album '70s singles (Lunch Box/Odd Sox was the B-side of 1980s Coming Up but was from the Venus and Mars sessions from 1974-75).  If two original albums didn't fit onto one disc then it'd be one album with unrelated bonus tracks to fill the extra space.  An official release would have the rare tracks as I don't even think they're on a bootleg (I Saw Her Standing There was re-recorded for this album but is lingering in the vaults right now for all I know).  Another glowing exception on this collection is The Girl is Mine with Michael Jackson from his super-seller Thriller which has never appeared on a McCartney release before.  It is said that the pair of them wrote it while watching telly (though only Wacko Jacko was credited for contractual reasons though both were with CBS in the US in 1982-83 and the track could very likely be on the upcoming Pipes of Peace which already will have two other duets with the late King of Pop before their friendship famously suffered in the wake of the Lennon/McCartney publishing purchase in 1985 after some advice on owning mechanical rights though all three duets may have to be cleared by the Jax estate).
Until the record company get around to this one this version will do just fine for now.  Good luck finding it though.


title: Live at the Star Club Vol 2

text: What I put for the first volume goes for this too.  Hully Gully which was on the official edition of this album was another band as it was hard to tell the difference due to the rudimentary method used to make the recording with a tape machine and a single mono mic making it one of the oldest bootleg recordings in existence.  The real Sony put a disclaimer on some editions saying they tried to sort it out but that was how it was back then and is even evident to the layman that this was not done professionally.  Harrison said in court in 1998 when trying to stop any more releases of this show was that bringing in the drinks was not a gentlemans agreement referring to Lennon allowing Adrian Barber to record if he gets a few pints.  This is more for hardcore fans as it is not seen amongst official studio albums such as Help! and Revolver.  Hollywood Bowl is the only other live Beatles release in 1977 not seen as a bootleg by the shops at that point.


title: The first album or is it?

text: For fans primarily in the US the story behind this particular album is part of legend and lore. EMI signed The Beatles in 1963 but their US division Capitol were allowed to be the first to decide against signing them there so Brian Epstein chose Chicago-based indie R&B label Vee Jay Records (in a package deal with crooner Frank Ifield) was chosen despite being fiscally unstable as it turns out. Because Please Please Me/Ask Me Why was made a stand-alone single and a dozen songs on an album in the States was standard in those days the name Introducing the Beatles was coined. Earlier bios like The Beatles Forever stated that the album came out in July 1963 but that wasn't the case due to money woes and late payment of royalty fees to Transglobal (EMIs licence company) delayed release for six months time just as Capitol changed their minds and notified their attorneys and the girls shrieked for more! A compromise was reached in court and two reissues were made until that fall when the rights reverted to Capitol and the Vee Jay album went out of print (a former employee claims that they made their own pirate copies in the '70s despite obviously violating the judges orders). Counterfeits hit the black market several years later and printing errors and designs on the sleeve, dead wax and label indicate to collectors whether or not their copy is for real. True copies are scarce as hens teeth and that goes double for stereo. I just have a real Songs, Pictures and Stories edition (phonies of that are even more subtle due to the difficult to duplicate die-cut gatefold of the genuine article) as my old copy of Introducing disappeared as did Stories before that which I felt was more appropriate to replace. I also have copies of Please Please Me as well as The Early Beatles, Capitols answer to Introducing with more cut and paste which was normal back then as we all know by now.<br />The songs need very little introduction. Most of the album was done in one days time. No need to preach to the choir here. So much for Decca (ironically a sister label to Capitol at Universal today)!


title: The Earlier Beatles

text: This is a grey market release of the Beatles and the recently deceased Tony Sheridans early material considered public domain in the EU under new copyright laws so it's not quite like the usual bootlegs going around.  Most of CD 1 reflects the Hamburg period.  Only a handful actually have the Beatles on them (much like the oft-reissued album of 1962 tracks produced by legendary German bandleader Bert Kämpfert).  A number of BBC (with lo-fi quality) and Decca audition tracks (with decent sound) are also here as well as Cavern Club performances.  Love Me Do and PS I Love You are also here as they were the first of the EMI tracks to have their rights lapse in Brussells' eyes (various other indie labels have released their own reissues recently on vinyl).  The Hamburg and Decca tracks have held up, though a lot of these appeared on other bootlegs as well as official releases in the past.  More suited to hardcore fans.


title: More than just another compilation

text: I know Elton John has more of these collections than he even knows about (the number of studio albums alone is large enough) but I just had to get this one. This wasn't released in the US and Canada as the boxed set To Be Continued was released there instead with all of these tracks and an alternate version of that was released everywhere else the following year. This album comes on the heels of John coming out of the clinic and burying Ryan White, and John wanted to start the new decade (1990) off right. He sold off his old stage wardrobe for charity two years previous (Reg Strikes Back sleeve).<br />Some of these songs weren't hits in the US such as "Passengers", "Song for Guy" and "Kiss the Bride". Other songs fans on both sides of the pond grew up with are all here like "Your Song", "Bennie and the Jets" and "I'm Still Standing" are featured so there's something for everyone here. Many more of these have come out since then but if you're looking for the classic period then this is for you.


title: Best solo Harrison bootleg

text: I was looking through bootlegs of solo George Harrison and I didn't want another one with more album outtakes of All Things Must Pass so this one covers everything after that he lived to see released in one form or another officially.  Some of the B-sides and unreleased tracks were bonus tracks on the posthumous remasters of the Dark Horse albums while others were on a superrare compilation that came with a limited edition book.  Other tracks remain on albums like this such as The Hottest Gong in Town off the slated Madonna film Shanghai Surprise (the title track is shorter here than the official version neither he or late duet partner Vicki Brown got to see released) or Dehra Dhun, another hymn for the Lord Sri Krsna.  Hari devotees will want this album.  It is only the second solo Harrison bootleg I've bought so far after Awaiting on You All.  The closing track Ride Rajbun with son Dhani and old friend sitar king Ravi Shankar from a rare soundtrack I hadn't heard before.  Horse to the Water would've fit too but that can go on another collection in future.


title: 20 years on

text: This is a bootleg featuring tracks left off of Off the Ground.  There was a limited edition with 2 CDs in Japan which inspired this release.  The inclusion of tracks from the Concert for New York City (9/11 appeal) and a 2003 photo makes this obvious that it's not official but essential for diehard fans nonetheless.  Hard to find B-sides like "Big Boys Bickering" (with lyrics that Mary Whitehouse and Tipper Gore would both slate) and "I Can't Imagine" are here.  When the regular album is reissued in future as a double CD these tracks save the live ones would possibly be included as bonus tracks even though OTG wasn't a huge seller as it did come out when grunge had a domino effect yet McCartney thrived when punk did the same thing in the late '70s.  I'd still get the individual singles and I have a few from this period already.  Too easy to download you know.


title: A bit lacking

text: I picked this up yesterday.  This is just another one in a myriad of compilations of The Moody Blues released over the past several decades.  The title track isn't included which is misleading nor is "Tuesday Afternoon" or "Go Now" for that matter (pre-core 7 anyway), but I have the studio albums and other collections anyway.  Album tracks or deep cuts "After You Came" and "Veteran Cosmic Rocker" (the only Thomas track included while there's nothing from Messrs Pinder and Edge) were never even B-sides let alone A-side singles.  "Nights in White Satin" and show closer "Ride My See-Saw" are here though.  The intro of "The Voice" is also removed so there's something to look for here if you want.  Must be so it'd all fit on LP as CDs were new then.<br />The CD has a plain blue cover instead of the painting which also doesn't make sense.  This may still be in print as I saw a copy pressed by Universal after they bought PolyGram but they kept all the same designs in the EU as my own copy is an older one.  The back insert also has a typo which I'd expect on a Russian pirate CD.  By and large this album is for completists and casual fans alike.  Nothing new in 1984 or now as there was a hiatus between The Present and The Other Side of Life as they had been around long enough to take a break though not as long as a decade before (which of course is why no fresh Moodies proper tracks exist between 1972-78).  At this rate there'll be more of these than original albums like with Shirley Bassey or Boney M!


title: Souled again

text: Longtime fans of Jim Diamond have expected an album like this for a long time with covers containing covers of soul/R&B hits (especially Motown).  This is a charity release in support of Cash for Kids released by Camino Records (former indie label of onetime collaborator Steve Hackett and one of the last albums on it).  Diamond makes these songs his own (He's done the occasional cover version before).  He embraces his musical roots in blue-eyed soul.  Another album like this in future is inevitable though the next release could be more original material (the Stevie Wonder hit was also done on Diamonds last solo release too as well as live) or a fourth PhD album (for a band spanning three decades their track record is limited).  Jim Diamond fans won't be disappointed.  I bought the CD here as he's is unjustly unknown in the States much like Robbie Williams or fellow Scot Lulu.


title: Mixed Bag-ism

text: Another unauthorised pairing here.  Sometime in New York City is one of my least favourite solo Lennon albums due to the touchy subject matter.  The first track was banned from radio for obvious reasons despite what it's really about.  The Troubles in Northern Ireland are also covered (even Wings had their own take on the matter and also had a single Mary Whitehouse-d).  Lennon tried to have songs out as fast as papers which didn't happen overnight in those days, and kept up with the headlines and made his own as this was during his power struggle with Watergate-era Washington.  This is the last album produced by John and Yoko with Phil Spector.  He would work with just one or the other in future.<br />Walls and Bridges was recorded and released entirely during the Lost Weekend.  He lets it out here but not quite like on Plastic Ono Band.  "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" featuring Elton John was Lennons first solo #1 which led to an appearance at Madison Square Garden on Thanksgiving 1974 which would be the final time he did a proper gig.  Then-partner May Pang has a cameo on the follow-up single "#9 Dream".  "Ya-Ya" with Julian on drum was a teaser for Rock 'n' Roll which was supposed to be an out-of-court settlement with music publisher Morris Levy over "Come Together" (George Harrison had a similar problem with "My Sweet Lord") but that's for another day.


title: Lennons Swan Song

text: Another illicit release of solo Beatles albums.  John and Yokos final albums together Double Fantasy (the last he got to see in the shops) and the posthumous Milk and Honey.  The 1980 album came after a five-year sabbatical where Lennon was doting dad to young Sean and Ono became businesswoman and breadwinner.  After this period of domestic bliss the pair of them were ready to return to the studio.  Earl Slick (fresh off recording a still-unreleased album with Jim Diamond), Hugh McCracken (who also worked with Paul & Linda McCartney), Tony Levin (who known for working with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson) and others back the power couple on the twin albums.  The plan was to record both of them together but the Crimbo deadline meant Milk and Honey had to wait for the following year.  We all know far too well what would happen a few weeks after the release of the first album.  It would take three years before Yoko could assemble the next one.  Most of her tracks were recorded then.  The Brownings-inspired "Grow Old with Me" and "Let Me Count the Ways" are presented in demo form.  Lennons last recording was never recorded the way he hoped it would be though a remix by George Martin with orchestration appears on the solo Anthology though it was considered for the Beatles proper one but the sound quality was compromising as it was with the still officially unreleased "Now and Then".  "Nobody Told Me" was going to be recorded by Ringo Starr for Can't Fight Lightning but it was not in his register and for other obvious reasons was unable to record it.  The tropical flavour on "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)", "Borrowed Time" and "Forgive Me (My Little Flower Princess)" comes from Lennons holidays in Bermuda, the only UK territory he would visit after 1971 (even meeting a fan from Sheffield on one trip).  "(Just Like) Starting Over" would be his last solo US #1.  I'm trying not to write too much of what was done before.  It does make sense that these two albums are both on this disc though I heard Milk and Honey first years ago.  The pair of these show that John & Yoko have moved beyond Unfinished Music and Plastic Ono Band.  The Beatles, bed-ins and activism are all put to bed as they had high hopes for the new decade.


title: Don't tell the missus!

text:
This is a Russian pirate compilation of John Lennons solo signature Imagine and the overlooked posthumous release Menlove Ave.  Imagine including the title track needs little introduction and includes George Harrison (the last time both former Beatles recorded together when they were both alive after the split) and Alan White (who found a permanent home in Yes the following year).  Mr Wall of Sound himself Phil Spector gets to do more on production than on the previous years stripped down gut-spilling Plastic Ono Band.  Around the time of release John & Yoko came to my area for her art exhibit and he never lived to return to the UK.
Menlove Ave. is better known to diehard fans, released in fall 1986 to little fanfare.  It contains outtakes from the troubled Rock 'n' Roll and Walls and Bridges sessions during the so-called Lost Weekend between the two US coasts.  Lennons then-mistress May Pang helped organise the recording dates.  The Rosie & the Originals cover "Angel Baby" previously appeared on the bootleg Roots.  "Steel and Glass" has different lyrics.  The Walls and Bridges tracks pared down arrangement here is almost a throwback to Plastic Ono Band except there is one more musician on there (Hamburg days mate and bass player Klaus Voorman is on the lions share of the songs of both albums).
One way to tell this is unofficial is that the wrong label is shown on the CD.  Polydor released Milk & Honey but Apple released Imagine and Capitol (now sister to Polydor)/Parlophone put out Menlove Ave. which was assembled by Yoko.  Menlove Ave. was where Johns Aunt Mimi lived in Liverpool.  The house was donated by Ono to the UKs National Trust.  That album is out of print though and this edition is too as CD Maximum got out of the pirate business.


title: Mystery edition

text: This looks like an unofficial compilation of Elton Johns last two albums of the '80s released a year apart.  He once again works with producer Chris Thomas after a brief return to Gus Dudgeon.  John had recovered from vocal surgery so he was able to return to the studio.  I remember these albums coming out when I was young.  Around this time, he had been spending time with young AIDS victim Ryan White.  Johns marriage to recording engineer Renate Blauel had also ended in 1988.  He delved into his work, returning to the upper reaches of the charts in the US and UK after some flop singles.  These albums also come after a public row with Fleet Street (UK tabloid media).  RSB seems more uplifting than the last studio album Leather Jackets.  SWTP has some tracks inspired by Motown, namely "Club at the End of the Street".  "Healing Hands" and "Sacrifice" were a double A-side charity single in the UK and went to #1, a first at home for a solo Elton John single.<br />I haven't seen many pirates of his albums, and none like this as I have for other artists.  If this one came along I'd get it and sell the Canadian CD of RSB but I'd keep the EU one of SWTP for the bonus tracks that don't fit here.


title: Bootleg from the Beeb

text: This has to be one of the most common Floyd RoIOs out there.  Sourced from a soundboard or off-air Auntie archive, this is the definitive recording of the classic album live by the lineup that recorded it.  It has been reissued numerous times with as many titles.  It is also on the expanded remaster of the studio album from last year.  It doesn't sound quite the same as the original though.  Echoes doesn't appear on all editions either.  My copy is made to look like a Japanese mini-LP as if EMI and the BBC released it though real fans know some mystery label put it out.


title: Beatle Buyer Beware!

text:
Please know that this is a pirate release.  Rarities UK or US was never on CD.  These tracks are on official CDs now, especially Past Masters (the same reason Hey Jude/The Beatles Again isn't on CD either).  MFSL sure didn't release this (theres also a fake MFSL pirate of Abbey Road mono).
When the original UK LP was released in 1978 (I have a continental copy), most of these tracks were never on an album there before.  These classics are generally well known among the fans.  This is more for completists really.
I wouldn't mind getting the edition which is combined with Let It Be.  If I do come across this one, and it's not too much, I'd probably buy it.


title: Hardly just another Beatles tribute

text:
As far back as Beatlemania, there have been countless tribute and rip-off cash-in albums flooding the market.  I happened to find this rather obscure Canadian release from les Disques Diva/Warner Canada that has four medley clusters covering favourites from "Please Mr Postman" to "The Long and Winding Road".  They are even in the same chord and style as the originals.
Some people find these poor-mans releases very karaoke and cabaret at best, but this one sounds interesting for another lot of unknown crack session players, this time from Québec, it turns out.  There is very little information available.
For a tribute release, this is quite rare.  You should see what people are charging on the Canadian site!  Strange for a copycat CD!
Anyway, this is not something I would get for myself, but I have sent someone overseas a few of these wanna-Beatles albums.  I hope he'll like this one too.  I had to have a listen just to see what this would be like.  Many fans are apprehensive to pretenders, like tribute bands.  I could only stomach it once live.  Its just too easy to copy someone else, you know.  I've seen some unique arrangements made such as Baroque, reggae, and synthesiser-based.  I wouldn't say that 'Dancing' is bad, but I've heard worse.
I would recommend this for that ultra diehard, hardcore, completist fan who'd even buy a Schlager-style Beatles tribute album to say the least!


title: Extra Speed

text: As you can tell this is a pirate.  It was released by CD Maximum, a Russian label that now just have legal releases by metal bands.  It's too easy to have Macca's name on it, as the rest of the band each have a chance to lead at least one track (Denny Laine with two, one his own).  "Let 'Em In" (which name checks friends and family members) and "Silly Love Songs" (which stems from John Lennon and the critics alike slating McCartney's lovey-dovey solo tracks) are the bread and butter tracks here.  I did get to hear a demo of "Must Do Something About It" with Paul's guide vocal, but the final mix has Upstate NY's own Joe English as the only Wings drummer to take the mic.  "Wino Junko" reflected Jimmy McColluch's addictions which sent him to an early grave.  Linda is the "Cook of the House" and even then, has a cruelty-free menu!  The disco track "She's My Baby" managed to be made classical for 'Working Classical' in 1999.  "Warm and Beautiful" is another nod to the missus.<br />The bonus tracks are the ones from the 1987, 1993, and possibly 2011 editions, the two instrumentals from side project The Country Hams, as well as country track "Sally G", the B-side of "Junior's Farm" cut in Nashville and a hit in its own right.  The extras from the '80s CDs of 'Wild Life' and 'Red Rose Speedway' are padding here, so true fans know right then and there that this is an unauthorised remaster.  If you like this kind of release like I do, then have a go with this one then.


title: Been there, done that

text:
I bought these as separate imports a decade apart.  In an age where CDs are an endangered species, the record companies must find ways to keep people buying.  This could entice other Duranie collectors.
These came at at crossroads for Duran Duran.  After two side projects and the departures of Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor (no relation, of course!)  They incorporated funk and house into the mix.  "Notorious" still sold.  "Big Thing" wasn't, as most people from earlier in the decade were already on the way out.
Originally released 1986 and 1988 respectively by EMI (Capitol US and Canada).


title: Rare release

text:
This is the third album from Savoy, featuring Pål Waaktaar-Savoy of a-ha and his wife Lauren.  It's the only album besides "Mary is Coming" officially released outside Norway (Norge).  This album was also released in Europe and maybe Japan.  I finally found me the limited edition with the bonus CD.
My favourite tracks on the album are "Man in the Park" and "End of the Line".
There wasn't a tour per se because Lauren was pregnant with their son August and a-ha were back together, so Pål had a full plate.
This is likely the German import, released a year later in 2000, likely to cash in on the a-ha comeback.
I just wish Savoy albums were more easily available.  As least here.


title: Islands

text: This is the US release of Kajagoogoo's second album "Islands".  The nae was shortened to Kaja and the album was renamed "Extra Play" since "Islands" was too generic.  A new cover was shot a few months after the UK LP was released.  "Turn Your Back on Me" topped the 12" Dance chart here and appears on a rare Greenpeace video, but Limahl's absence jumped the shark.


title: Julian holds his own

text: Released in the U.S. and Canada by Atlantic, but is now out-of-print domestically.  Released elsewhere by Virgin Records.  I had the LP a long time ago, but it disappeared, so I got the CD.  Hearing it again, especially the song "Sunday Morning", just took me back.  People don't cut Julian slack, especially Yoko.  His life isn't all it's cracked up to be.  This may be reissued by Rhino someday, but you can do them one better by getting it used like I did or get the import.


title: A masterpiece

text: This album is simply perfection. I cant speak any Japanese and still find myself trying to sing along!! Beautiful singing and wonderful composotion!!

title: I first found this cd in the dollar bin at ...

text: I first found this cd in the dollar bin at wal mart in 1994. It was my first time listening to a nature cd, and I was looking for something that was not too overloaded. The very first time that I put this into the player, I did not turn it off for the whole day. I just played it on repeat for hours on end. Later when I went to bed, I fell asleep to this. This cd takes you into the heart of the wilderness, where you can lose yourself in another time and place, and stay for as long as you wish. This also helps to calm me down if I get too stressed. I think that this was very well done, and I will continue to listen to this for as long as I'm alive.

title: Must Have AC/DC Album

text: Great swan song for a great band. Brian Johnson's voice is the best on this album. The unreleased disk is full of great tunes from Brian Johnson and Bonn Scott. I've played it over and over.


title: More Junkyard gold!

text:
I have always loved this band. I'm a pretty serious CD collector but I had stopped collecting for a few years about the time this was released so I didn't know it existed. After I decided to get back into collecting I discovered this album. I was very hesitant to try to track it down because I basically have every song on other albums & this thing is very hard to find at any price. I finally came across one for sale on here, deep down 5 pages of a google search. I had some extra cash & took the plunge. I am so glad I did!

These songs may be very familiar for a Junkyard fan but they are much different versions than what's on other albums. They're rougher, more raw versions & I really like them. In fact in my personal opinion, Life Sentence, Can't Hold Back & Hollywood are better on this album than any of the previous versions I own. I'm very pleased to be an owner of this disc. The only thing that concerns me is that it's recorded on a CD-R & I've read their life expectancy isn't very long. I hope that's wrong.

Anyway, my recommendation is... If you're a CD collector & also a Junkyard fan you should absolutely try to find a copy of this.

title: Great CD!

text: This is a really good cd. I bought it this week and was very impressed. From slow to rocking he can do it all!


title: Damage

text: I received a damage case of CD and Album. Very disappointed.


title: The Slip Package Reviewed

text: This was my first purchase from Amazon. I wasn't sure what constituted "very-good, good or acceptable" As for the delivery = VERY good, as for the condition of the CD and DVD = also very-good, as for the condition of the case = not so good, I guess I would rate it "acceptable" for I did buy the product knowing it was used - I guess people care for their stuff differently than I - not the sellers fault, however the rating for the entire package did not deserve a "very good" rating. Just my opinion - take it for what it's worth!


title: WATCH OUT - This is not the REAL CD

text:
Mass produced CD for the purpose of making money off of you - Dont be suckered in like I was. Get your own Walmart CD and burn a copy of your own off youtube or some other method of stealing music from the Artist, cause that is all isellalot did on this one!

Spend my 20 bucks and have fun, it will be the last 20 from me


title: Five Stars

text: Great product, fast shipping, thanks!


title: The Best Treatment of George's Best Material

text: This concert rivals George's own performances and it is great to have almost all of his greatest stuff in one place.  The Nora Jones cuts are a highlight.  The BluRay disc is a treat and very well done.  I had my copy sent from Europe but it played fine on an American BluRay player.  Very worth owning.  I liked it more than the "Tribute to George" concert with Eric Clapton.


title: etik rogers awesome talent

text: Although softer music than strreomud and dangrrous new machine....eric rogers....lead vocals for all these bands is just great.....he is gret at rappin and his vocals on all his music are intense and strong.  I cant say enough good about the guy.....he is so underrayed.  Gove this album a chance!!!! Janie

text: This was delivered it a timely manner . I love it, I have 2 previously released albums ( Our memories of Elvis) that have all back up singers removed and I love them but they are not available any way except vinyl. I was excited to find this available. Every song is not my favorite (I knew this before I ordered) but I enjoy the CD and love some of the songs.


title: Some of Lennon's hit songs.

text: There are about 5 songs that I like. The rest are mediocre.


title: Very Pleased with This CD

text: Been a long time Sue Thompson fan, and was looking forward to hearing these early recordings.<br />Very Nice Country & Western Recordings on this CD.


title: SO RELAXING !!!!

text: I had a copy of this CD and lost it in a move..  I miss it..  When I listen to it, it is so relaxing, like being in the mountains in a tent and just listening to the rain fall.  Its great to fall asleep to.


title: Best one by far

text: I loved every song. The music was fresh and they never sounded better. I would have to say this cd is without a doubt their best. I highly  highly recommend for any quarterflash fans.

text: Not as good as vol. 1-3 but it is growing on me. It seems more vocal and lounge like even jazzy at times. A unique compilation in its own right. Its still a must have for chill/ambient music collectors, especially if you are a Planet Dog fan. This one was pretty hard to find and of course is out of print.


title: Not Fresh...Left Disappointed!

text: Had high hopes for these. Didn’t come in an ice pack like the description. Also was DEFINITELY not fresh! Macarons were made somewhere before February 27th as box date stamped and sold as “fresh”. They tasted very stale that you couldn’t tell what flavor it is. Almond flour oxidized and flavor gone. Thank god I didn’t gift this. Roughly $1.50 per tiny 1 & 1/2in. macaron (not normal sized 3in) comes in nice gift box but product isn’t very good. Buy at your own risk I guess.

title: Incredible!

text: The music of Brittany Maier is extra-dimensional.  If you take the time to read the history of Brittany Maier, [...] you have got to come to the same conclusion.  The music on the 20/20 CD was composed and played when Brittany was 12 years old.  I can't wait until her next CD is released.  When you understand her history and then listen to her music, it is truly phenomenal.

title: "Bottoms Up" to Oscar Brand on the greatest collection of drinking songs.

text: This is the greatest collection of drinking songs every assembled, period.  Oscar Brand is accompanied on banjo and vocals by Erik Darling (of Weavers and Rooftop Singer fame).  Darling's banjo is the perfect counterpoint for Oscar's 12-string guitar.  There's not a false note on this LP.  Sadly, it was never released on CD (although Oscar made a variant of it about ten years ago called "100-Proof Drinking Songs,"--good, but not great.It is, however, still available, and well worth a listen.)


title: A real gem and a bargain!

text: Three live CD's, each about 60 minutes.  Only disc 3 credits the recording venue as Rendezvous Ballroom in 1958.  Other discs offer no recording details.  Great stereo sound on all three discs with minimal tape hiss and background chatter.  One or two tracks seem to be cut short and there is some irregular flow from track-to-track, probably because these are non-professional recordings and they needed to change the tape.  I have a lot of Live Kenton discs and somehow he seemed to attract amateurs with great stereo recording gear for the late 50's, a time when Capitol was still releasing his studio stuff in mono!  This is very much a worthwhile addition, particularly at this price point.

text: This is it! 60 years of Cuban music from Egrem, the only label in Cuba. Spurred by the success of Ry Cooder's trek and the making of a phenom with Buena Vista Social Club, Egrem culled its archives and has given the world the definitive collection of Cuban music. Get it, you'll love it. 'nuff said.

text: This was a free promotional two disc set given to ozzfest goers. We had to send in postage payment along a with a form given at the show. They only did this for the first two Ozzfest tours. This is a ridiculous price for this set. The cd came back with coupons for the participating bands on the set


title: Mazzy Star's Greatest Hits

text: Somehow I only very recently discovered Mazzy Star when Youtube put one of their videos up for me to view.  I immediately liked them and have watched a lot of their songs on Youtube both album recordings and live performances.  Got their three 90's albums.  This one though to me I call my Mazzy Star greatest hits CD.  Because literally all of my favorite songs by them are on this CD.  Not that I don't like the other 2 from the 90's or even some of the newer stuff.  I was never into the whole 90's music scene and am kind of a classic rock and acid rock and blues rock fan.  About the only 90's group I liked was Nirvana, especially certain of their songs. All that being said, this group is very creative to me and there is some kind of magic in the way David and Hope put songs together.  I love all of her lyrics and her vocal style, and also love the way he writes music that just fits her so perfect.  If you like Mazzy Star at all, this would be the CD to start with.  Then the other two from the 90's.  Then other stuff such as their last Mazzy Star recording which I don't have yet but will.  Their songs are slow, definitely have psychedelic influences and Hope Sandoval is fantastic.  Fade Into You was the hit and yes it is a great song but my personal favorite is Into Dust.  That song just gets to me somehow.


title: Damn Good Early Bingham

text:
I bought this CD after seeing Ryan open for Patty Griffin in early 2007 at Schuba's in Chicago. Never heard of him before that, but he's the only artist I've ever seen open for a rabid bunch of Patty Griffin fans and be cheered almost as loudly as Patty. The second night, he performed his encore and while unplugging, the crowd demanded a second encore. He was that good. And he obliged.

I loved this album then, and I still love it now. Except for "Big Country Sky" the rest of the tunes were reworked and released on Mescalito. Although a bit different and somewhat rougher, I actually still enjoy some of the original cuts more than their 'polished' counterparts; "Southside of Heaven" in particular. And not for nothing, "Big Country Sky" is an amazingly evocative song. You'd have to hear it, but he sings beautifully about cowboys, buffalo, Langtry TX, etc. Hope he releases it so people can hear a great 'lost' Bingham tune. Now if only I could get hold of "Wishbone Saloon."


title: This is not the Rolling Stone release from their website

text: This cd is a bootleg of the Stones Brussels Affair, can't comment on the quality of the sound, as I have the one from the Stones site which is only $4.99. Why the Stones never released this other than MP3 format I don't know, as their cd is excellent a true 5 stars. Songs from Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Goats Head Soup. What is refreshing is that the songs from Goats Head Soup sound 10 times better live.15 songs in all from these four lps. The Stones have more live material at their website from the early 70's period. They should release it on cd or lp.


title: Love these guys!!

text: “I’m almost on your mind” is worth the price of the whole cd. But I love this music. Puts you in another world. I love it.


title: R&B

text: I grew up listening to this genre of music so I figured it was time to add to my growing collection of music.


title: Relaxing Instrumental Hymns

text: This album makes a great gift for any lover of traditional hymns! The mountain dulcimer sounds incredibly beautiful when ambient effects (delay, reverb, echo) are added to these favorite hymns. Listening to this album will bring peace and harmony to your soul.


title: Late Townes at his best

text: Union Chapel is a fine recorded performance before an appreciative British audience, recorded during a brief moment of apparent sobriety a few short years before the end of Townes' life. Because of performance rights issues, this album is disappearing from the marketplace. Too bad. It has strong versions of many of his songs and a couple of well-chosen covers. I play it often, right up there with [[ASIN:B00197U0MG Live at The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas]].


title: Three Stars

text: a very nice driving cd


title: Cross & Ross move beyond T2

text:
This is a '72 classic I've searched for for years. Working at Music Millennium in the 70s exposed me to great
music only the lucky few could hear-Bored Civilians was played on KINK FM and others in the growing FM market, but not enough for domestic release.
Long tasty jazz-tinged jams fit early FM and these guys astound in digital format(ain't it grand when old virgin
vinyl junkies can appreciate cds?). The Last Ocean Rider and Story To A Friend continue T2s trend to expand
their audiences experiences this way. Imagine a stoney FM dj lower register tag at 9PM or 6AM-Cross & Ross
shoulda been everywhere.
Great packaging Si-Wan, you've got a gem, thanks.

title: Wonderful song from Chicago 17 with a techno remix!

text: This is my favorite version of my favorite song by my favorite band Chicago!  Side A has the dance remix version of "Along Comes a Woman" with its smooth techno-pop sound that lasts for more than six minutes!!  Side B has another remix version of the same song along with "We Can Stop the Hurting."  I tried to find the dance remix version on CD but had no luck until I found it in vinyl form (it's on YouTube but I wanted a physical copy).  A song is very upbeat and makes you happy whenever you hear it.

title: I am having an eargasm!

text: I am sitting here listening to one of the best singer/songwriters the industry has ever produced who is so underrated.  I have all this artist's solo releases and got Demos 2 today and my housemates are gonna be through with me as this is playing nonstop.  Love the writing, musicianship and vocals of David Lasley who I got turned onto in college way back in the 80's...I wish he did more than back up James Taylor and step up to the front solo if only for a limited engagement someplace so I could applaud him loudly for all the joy he's given me over the decades.  As someoone who sings as well I appreciate all he does behind the scenes and nobody will be getting my copy to borrow!  Thanx for the photo too!


title: timeless and very motivational

text: Just gotta love a voice and writing talent like Marva Hines.Bought this lp when it came out and played it til I had to replace it;love every song on it and as a singer was inspired to sing every song on there with my own group.  People would without fail always be blessed.  Savoy records put out a lot of records, but few were great from start to finish unless live.  This studio lp was great considering the tech/budget allowed back then.  I am still waiting for it and Marva's later 2 recordings to be available on downloads or cd.  Not fluff but substance!  I want more Marva!!!!


title: Watch it and I tell you what it is later.

text: The documentary (called "The History of Rock 'n' Roll" here but actually the 4 DVD"American Roots Music!) is excellent but not the Malt Shop Memories that the 1950s conjure up. Maybe the 1950s fans will learn where that music came from.


I remembered this album from back in the day. These young people have the gift of singing and it show in every song recorded. Discipline, gifted and anointed to sing. I am so grateful to have this album in CD. Love, Love Love the Chicago Gospel Soul Children.

title: Larry's Final

text:
Larry Norman was on a mission.  Perhaps it was his sense that he would be leaving this world soon. Or maybe he had grown tired using clever lyrics and hidden meanings. Whatever the case,  "Tourniquet," his last studio effort, reflects urgency.  Gone are Larry's legendary humor and wit.  We are left with the offerings of a man stripped bare, but no less committed to spreading the Word and spreading it quickly.

Although I really liked "Stranded In Babylon," his first studio outing with his brother, Charly, I missed the gravelly power of his voice and his signature ballads.  It took a few sittings for the music to settle in, but it has grown on me.  This is also true of "Tourniquet." And he is definitely in better voice than that previous studio outing.

The first track, "Turn," penned by Charly, Larry's younger brother, is a real industrial- esque mover.  Direct in its message and nearly flawless in its execution and production, it is a latter day warning only a fool would dismiss. In many ways, Charly became a musical muse and inspiration, reigniting the passion and creativity Larry was capable of, but had lost touch with.  Like so many gifted artists, from McCartney to Dylan, the lack of outside influence and the conflict that invariable arises can take a toll on one's energy. The resulting music can be anemic and inward.  Collaboration agreed with Larry and it definitely showed with this release just as it did with "Stranded In Babylon."

"Endless Life Of Dreams," a snappy and upbeat rocker, further explores a common theme of Larry's, the futility of a life without God and the search for love, fulfillment and meaning in the earthly. "Center Of My Heart" is another fine example.  Creatively written and direct, it sticks in the head as so many of his more inspired songs do.

"Rock The Flock" begins with a sample/ scratched guitar lick lifted from "He's The Rock That Doesn't Roll' from 1977's "In Another Land."  The song delivers exactly what the title promises.  A good, old fashioned vintage Larry rocker in the "Why Does The Devil have All The Good Music" vein.  He makes intriguing use of modern sonic techniques during the bridge that call to mind more contemporary artists like Trent Resner of Nine Inch Nails.  But there is just a taste of this, as if Larry and Charly are stating that, yes... they can do that too if they want.

"It's All Right" is another jumbled stylistic, but delightful departure.  At times it has an industrial edge, but quickly moves confidently into a more traditional, upbeat chorus.

"Love Is The Reason" is reminiscent of vintage Larry Norman.  Sung from the first person, it relates the simple message of seeking and finding answers in love.  It is catchy, hooky and addictive.

The haunting "Feed The Poor" is, quite simply, one of the most powerful ballads Larry has ever written.  "You gotta feed the poor/ They're dying every day/ If your momma asks you if you fed the poor/ What are you gonna say?/ You gotta feed the poor/ You must obey/ If your papa asks you if you fed the poor/ What are you gonna say?"  It is a blunt reminder of our call to care for the sick, the hungry and the needy; a condemnation of the modern, western church and of society as a whole.  It is unapologetic and demanding in its stark visuals and call to action.

"Father Of All" is a prayer of testimony.  It is powerful and simple and beautiful.

"Near" is an uplifting, musical journey; an instrumental that explores several rock-based musical styles.  At times Beatle-esque, at other times more Tom Petty inspired, it is definitely making "a joyful noise unto the Lord," as the Psalmist wrote centuries ago. I am curious what kind of reaction there was to this song by the Contemporary Christian Music establishment.  Was it accepted?  Was Larry's faith once again called into question as it so often had been in the past?  I will probably never know, not that it matters now.

The last track, "Tourniquet Medley" is a montage of the record, with bits of this song and that, weaved into a pleasant reminder that Larry was here.  I love that.  It is as poignant as it is bittersweet.  It almost feels as if Larry was saying goodbye.

Goodbye, Larry.  You meant a lot to me and ministered to me even if you never knew it.  You are missed.  I will see you soon enough.


title: One good song.

text: Only one good song here: Fear Not. Can't buy the song as a single. Rest of the songs have similar intent: Scripture set to music. Search on the net to preview the songs.


title: That it has added tracks at the end.

text: I was sad to find out that they had added extra tracks. I loved the old version.


title: The worst album she's made

text: This was definitely the worst album she's came out with maybe 1 decent song it's a pass on this one glad I didn't buy it


title: The New Las Vegan delivers more than just a "live" album

text:
For those that have seen Dino Lee in action... you get it.  If you never had the chance, you missed out, but Dino did at least leave us this all-too-short but oh-so-sweet live document of what "white trash" funk-punk fused with a healthy dose of soul played by a killer band can be.  And what a document it is.  More than just his best songs recorded live, this is a worthy album unto itself featuring songs not available elsewhere.

CD's of course do not have "sides" as LP's do, but this CD is pretty clearly divided into two halves:  each opens with an introduction of the band taking the stage (which are quite humorous and correctly divided as tracks unto themselves), and the songs that follow each offer their own "flavor", with the first half consisting mainly of songs not available on either of his studio albums, and the second half featuring mostly songs plucked from his 1984 debut ("The King Of White Trash") or his even-better follow-up, 1987's "The New Las Vegan".

Opening with "Fat Chicks (Let Me Tell You About It)", which is not available elsewhere, this one gets straight to the point.  The band is killer and even though it's a "live" album, this is actually better SOUNDING than either of his studio recorded albums.  The band is tight and flat our rocks; the sound is crisp and clear.  Next up is "Bad Boys", the one song on this half of the CD that is previously available on his "New Las Vegan" album.  But even so, it's but done faster and and features horns and real drums instead of the drum-machine beat found on the studio version.  I won't say it's "better" than the studio version, but it's very different and certainly as good.  It rocks, it's funky.  It's... DINO.

Next up is a slow-burning "Nozzle Talk", with some fancy guitar work driving the song, another that is not available elsewhere, followed by the song that gives the album its title "(Somebody Been) Messin' With My Thang!".  Closing the first half is Dino's turbo-charged cover of James Brown's "Night Train", which simply has to be heard to be believed:  groovy verses, speed metal choruses played at break-neck speed.

Opening the 2nd half (after another hilarious intro), are the two songs that open his then-current album, "The New Las Vegan":  the mostly-instrumental "White Trash Anthem" followed by the hilarious "Sex Change" that only Dino could deliver.  A revved-up version of "Live For The Flesh" from the same album features as well as does the one song from this half not available on either of his album, the cover of "Brick House".  As with his take on "Night Train", Dino makes this one his own, which is the only way to do this song (simply playing the original version note for note would be pointless....).

If you saw Dino, you have to have this album!  If you never did and are curious, you too have to have this album.  Get your white trash groove on!


title: Daniel Band Lives!!!!

text: What can you say about the Daniel Band except they rock. Now, I'm not talking about your typical 80's Christian Metal like Barnabus,Barren Cross, Blood Good and/or Saint. No, this is the original stuff. The Daniel Band was a bunch of guys who started out in the coffee houses in Canada and turned into Christian Metal Powerhouses. These guys rock. From their debut album of "On Rock" to "Running out of Time" they maintained the hard rocking integrity the whole way through. Check out the great highlight songs on this album like Power of Love where the lyrics state, "I see the mountains and your glories there. Into the evening, I know you care. I see the wonder, when you're my aim. I see the night stars they spell your name." These are Spirit annointed lyrics with a heavy metal punch. Also, Lustful Illusions, Walk on the Water and Never gonna Die are great, great tunes. If you're a fan of good, old fashioned hard rock...buy this album. It rocks!!!! Jesus Christ is Lord!!!!

title: The absolute BEST.

text: It came with SO many extras, and had everything included. I swear this was the best order. I didn't really like the mask because it's made out of sponge thingys and it smelled bad, but the other things were so great. The album was brand new and poster is included. Thank you so much!

title: A Classic of Schubert and Fischer-Dieskau

text: I used to own this record when it was on an original DGG LP and I played it often. In my move across country it somehow vanished. So I was pleased to see it back and to get a copy of it on DGG's bargain label Heliodor. There is no way to distinguish between the two LPs in quality: the exact same program and the sound is as good as I recall it -- in mid-20th Century, analog stereo. The songs themselves are quite special and beautiful. I only knew a handful of lieder --the handful we all hear -- when this record appeared in my life and I always thought the German lied was a specialized and elite kind of music, not for someone like me. This record changed all that. The stories are classic ones that anyone with a liberal education may know, and it's easy to follow along. Heliodor prints the translations into English but not the original words in German. Demus is (was?) an accomplished concert pianist in his own right, a specialist in Mozart and Schumann, and he perfectly partners Fischer-Dieskau here. The baritone in 1963 is caught at the height of his powers before what many think of as his over-interpretation crept in. For the most part his voice is silken, light, flexible and he modulates it wonderfully to encompass meaning. Listen to the short seafarer's Song to the Dioscurii (side 2, #5)--i.e Castor and Pollux: those sailors on the good ship Argo-- and you'll hear what I mean.  It would be great if this were issued on CD or MP-3 because I'm going to wear this LP out and it's not a new one.


title: PLEASE RERELEASE THIS ALBUM ON CD!

text: I used to have this album in my very first record collection back in the day and LOVED it. I think it came out in '71 or '72. I wish I still had that pristine vinyl today. Funky, inventive, experimental tunes and I believe they were all good. Doc in top form - maybe the best by him I ever heard - PLEASE RERELEASE THIS ALBUM ON CD! I WILL buy it - it's awesome.


title: Great cd!

text: I have this on vhs, dvd, and now cd so i can jam going down the road!  The sound, and mix, is excellent....very crankable!  Gary is still one of the greatest players, even after his passing, and this concert shows it.  I highly recommend this.


title: The Essence of Rodolfo

text: If you love La Boheme, if you truly love every note, every passion, every nuance of character, you cannot help but love Andrea Bocelli's Rodolfo.  When he sings this part, he is Rodolfo.  Other tenors may bring louder voices, more impressive credentials, or greater critical acclaim, but no one brings more sincerity, beauty of expression, and excellence of characterization to the role.  Please listen, really listen, to this recording, again and again.  If you don't understand its perfection the first time, you will come to do so, unless your prejudices and preconceptions bar the way.


title: He is great!!!

text: I love his music!!!  It is wonderful!!!


title: Electric Mumford and Sons

text: These guys amaze me with deviating from their folky sound to electrifying themselves.  The lyrical value is top notch and that's whats important.  Their diversification in my opinion is welcomed and seriously enjoyed.

Great job to all involved.  Please, please, please, restore the Amigo Polka on Jan as soon as possible.  Then begin work on the Bernie Witkowski catalog on Stella.

title: Erasure and ABBA fans may not like the last track

text: I have been an ABBA fan forever and a fan of Erasure, too.  The original ABBA-esque is very good.  The Erasure/ABBA songs on this EP are also good, but beware of the "Take a Trance on Me" track.  It is about fifteen minutes long and has no Erasure nor ABBA in it.  It is just a VERY disappointing and overlength noisy mess.  I have no idea where it came from or why it was even on this EP.  Avoid this "trance" at all costs.  I thought it was going to be cool dance medley,  but boy was I wrong!

text: Really enjoyed CD


title: Good Symphonies, unmatched Francesca

text: Bought Muti's complete cycle with tone poems  with Philharmonia and Philadelphia.  I enjoy the symphonies with Philharmonia and have also listened to similarly fine performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra.  That being said,  you will not find a better Francesca Da Rimini on disc.  Sorry Stokowski proponents.  The sound hear is clear and excitingly well balanced.  That initial statement of the tutti "hell" theme is appropriately explosive, without ever sounding muddy.  I enjoy hearing all the "non-melody" rhythmic stuff which is all so interesting, I think a lot of conductors lose a lot by trying to stifle it.  Hits almost all the buttons for me.  If you all have a better, modern stereo sound version, not some mono version that peaks out in the loud sections, let me know.

text: My wife loved it!


title: Original, beautiful.

text: This is wonderful and original. Well put together and I enjoy listening to it. I wish more artists would consider doing this type of work. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the epilog to the hymn is included on the same track as the hymn, and I do not enjoy hearing that over and over again. For instance, the Orphic Hymn to the Moon, which is beautifully done, is prefaced by two and a half minutes of speech about the hymn. I would like to repeat the track and have only the hymn, so if the tracks had been separated this would have been better. Still a wonderful CD and perhaps I can figure out a way to edit the preface out for my own use. Recommended.

text: From the first song i could tell i was on my way to the soothing land of relaxation. It helped me forget about the hectic day before, and enjoyed this cd all afternoon. Works great if left playing as you go about the house.


title: Twisting from Mono to Stereo

text:
This live recording is amazing. It was done at a time when the recording industry was shifting from Monaural to Stereo recordings, and both formats were offered. This recording is an audiophile's dream. It demonstrates the live performance as well as the shift from mono to stereo.

The songs are vintage classics and are preserved in their entirety. I highly  recommend this CD.

text: I'd had this before, but lost it, and ordered two, one for my Aunt and Uncle.  We all found it just remarkable, the music, the eulogies were stirring and heart felt.  A wonder offering.


title: Simple and easy to use

title: L.A. Without a map

text: This movie was VERY good!<br />It's about a Scottish undertaker(David Tennant)living in England,who's poster of Johnny Depp's character from the film Dead Man "talks" to him. He meets a struggling actress from Los Angeles and falls in love with her and follows her to the United States. What follows are the kooky people and strange situations that he encounters in L.A.


I won't lie, I HAD to have this specific edition of Love. The packaging on this was beautiful, I'm a bit sad that the back of the jewel case was actually just a character card though. I originally bought this specifically for Song 4 U but I love the other tracks and remixes as well!

title: Dig The Jive

text: Clarence Palmer & company sing 13 original Savoy recordings in this wonderful compilation. Pee Wee Tinney handles the lead vocal on 2 tracks ("The Blues Don't Mean A Thing" & "When Your Hair Has Turned To Silver".) The final track is an alternate version of their signature song "Bad Boy".


title: Beatlemaniac

text: [[ASIN:B000VJ3BYC Lost Decca Sessions]]Excellent CD.It epitomizes the group in their pre-Ringo Starr period. As this was an audition, some anxiety can be felt in the vocals (especially Paul McCartney), nevertheless the songs are done well. Decca's loss was EMI's gain. Highly recommended!


title: Loving it!

text: The best cd I now have in my collection.


title: Old time favorite

text: If you like Chubby Checker or Bobby Rydell you would want this in your collection. I had been trying to find the album (record) for a while. Glad I had found this at Amazon, I like it and I think you can really feel the friendship they had on this album. It's now yours to enjoy.


title: You will be surprised

text: You will be surprised by how well they sing some of the old songs. I was not sure if I wanted to buy this or not but after listening to it, I made the right choice. The one I have is by Park and has 29 tracks. I guess it is the same.

One new song and two classics are a real treat for anyone who enjoys good music and a singer who can sing so beautifully.

It's not music for everyone, but if you enjoy transcendental music that may lift your soul out of Maya, give them a try.

title: Very compressed modern lossy sound, great historical recordings

text: These are historical recordings from the late 40s and early 50s. Unfortunately they've been ran through a modern compression making the already muffled sound, tinny as well. It seems worse on the older of the two recordings, but that may be an illusion due to overall lower quality of the recording. It's a very modern, lossy noise, so it's too bad because both operas showcase some of the finest French singers of the era. For Philemon et Baucus alone, featuring the incomparable Claudine Collart, the set is worth it.


title: Wonderful memento of a great concert!

text: This was exactly what  I was looking for! Though the product description  was confusing as  to whether or not cat AND DVD were together in the package, they were all included and were excellent.


title: Peaceful, joyful, inspiring

text: It doesn't matter if you are not Catholic.  I am not.  This is wonderful, Scripture-based music.  I wore out my vinyl album long ago, and was delighted to find it on Amazon.  In just a few years, I have about worn out the cd!  I'm thinking of giving this as a birthday gift for a dear friend - it would be a lovely Christmas gift, also.  The music feels humble and heart-felt; it is joyful and inspiring.

text: 'Eubie!' was a wonderful show back in the early 80's - a musical review featuring the songs of Eubie Blake.  I have been looking for a CD of it for years.  As it is not available, buy it in vinyl.  Maybe one day they will do a revival but until then enjoy it on vinyl.


title: Please make this recording on cd.

text: I have been relentlessly searching for this sound track for over 15 years. Vinyl is practically obsolete at this day and age. Would it be possible if this particular soundtrack could be made available on CD. I remember when this soundtrack came out but, it is now virtually impossible to obtain this particular soundtrack on CD. This music is a classic and should be made accessible for those who collect old classics such as these. A response about this would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

text: What an awesome CD! I ordered it just as it was being offered by Amazon.ca. The wait for shipping from Canada to California was sure worth it! I couldn't wait to tear open the package and throw on my headphones. I was not disappointed. Very few 'filler' songs. All your favorites (and even some you didn't think of as favorites the first time around) from the hit TV show "Radio Free Roscoe!" Even a BONUS track by 'No Man's Land' with vocals by RFR star Kate Todd herself. I can guarantee from the second you slip this into your player and crank that volume that this album will put you in a constant state of RFR-itus. Enjoy!

title: Fabulous

text: I LOVE this album. It is very unique and different. I especially enjoy "Higher Window," "Hidden Away," and "If I Walk Away." Josh Groban is such a talented singer with an indescribably beautiful voice. And his songs are actually meaningful. They are as serious as songs about life need to be. Life is hard, and we can't survive without God.
