title: Indulgent? Experimental? Listenable? Weirdo? Fun? Vocal distort.

text: Uh,I know, it's entering the dream world, and I don't mean dreamy, of Jad and his two friends.  There's music in this world.  Hay, a song with sax!  Smilin' Through.  The Sax is spectacular over another vocal chaos and thin musical background, by thin I mean there's not 5 guys bangin' something out, it's 3, maybe two instruments and the vocals.  But I could listen to that sax all day.  It's like the background of the song, it's not background, it's right in there, begs you to endure it while the sax does it's cool peppy thing.  One song is 3 minutes.  The rest are 2, 1 or under a minute.  If you wish to enter this world, if you plan to visit, if you plan to just taste or stay, it's not the musical world most of us live in or purposely sample.  It could be more grating.  I'm sure that exists out there in the world somewhere.  Grating is not the main descriptive term.  Loose?  goofball? Hey, another cool song, Born to Dance.  That's why I buy these, always used cuz I could never afford them all at face price, cuz inevitably there's a cool song are two in these solo or collaborative Jad efforts.  Yea, I'd listen to Born to Dance again, no question.  One day I'm going to put all my Jad non Half Japanese records together and cull out my favorites, from lullabies to noise chaos and the inbetween 'rockin' songs and make probably one good cd that I can listen to again in the future.  I continue to be blow away by the awesome HJ tunes, 90% of them just wipe me out with their beauty and intensity and greatness (except the horrid Hello cd).  The Band Who Would Be King and Music to Strip By still impress me, make me get a musical thrill, each time I listen to any parts of them.  It's funny, over the last 40 years I ebb and flow listening to various bands.  Couldn't listen to the Beatles for a decade, just needed to chill out from that but then re-embraced.  With HJ I can't enter that musical truth on a consistent basis, probably because of the disjointedness of it.  But, periodically, I get into it and am re-impressed all over again.  However, Jad non HJ projects are really, at least for me, diamond hunting, or apricot picking, little nuggets here and there.  I'm pretty sure I'm never going to listen to this record again, just 2 or 3 songs that I pull off it.  Alas, my curiosity compels me to buy the lower priced Jad releases because I know he and his collaborators make something that I can't get elsewhere and, once in a while, including on this release, there's some stuff that, swings? sways? oddly intoxicates? worries? experiment in progress.  God bless kids.  Yea, there it is again, Smilin' Through.  Gimme that sax all day, any day.  I want more!  Juxtaposed with the silly goofy back music it really works.  Go boys.  If this album had that sax on every song this would be one I'd listen to consistently over time.  Yummy.


title: It's been over 30 years

text: I owned this album.  Saw them open for someone at the San Diego Sports Arena.  I've been trying to think of their name the last 2 weeks.  Just popped back into my head.  Somehow they straddled more than one form of rock, like a tasty blend of rock, horn rock and a bit a soul.  I gotta track down a cd of these guys.  Never did get well known.  Wonder what happened to them.  Musta broken up.  I believe they were a 70's band.  Fun stuff.


title: it's just 3 songs on the cd

text: i forget which songs they are.  gotta find it here in the house.  simple package.  black cover.  3 songs from the revolution rock dvd.


title: AKK!  Real punk rock!  Hot doggy.

text:
Belgian.  The splendor of what CD reissues can do and, specifically, the 80's hardcore punk reissue king label: Grand Theft Audio.  Who could ask for more: great packaging and everything you can think of for a full bodied release.  It's all from 1982 through 1985 (choice years for hardcore eh!).  38 songs.  What more could you ask for.  And these guys were always great particularly with their Made in Belgium 1984 lp, a punk staple for those who got their hands on hardcore from outside the U.S. or the UK.

As usual, GTA has put together bunches of disparate sources of the band's music they're releasing.  They issued this CD in 1997.  In this case: 3 trax from Second Time Around 1982 comp, 3 songs from Repression split ep with MORAL DEMOLITION 1983, (one of those songs appeared on the very world encompasing World Class Punk ROIR comp tape of 1983, 16 songs from their lp, 2 songs from the wonderful Cleanse the Bacteria comp lp of 1984, 3 songs from the Alle 24 Goed comp lp of 1985, an unreleased practice session song and 4 songs live from 12/11/83 and 8 songs from 1/6/84.  GTA #026, when hard to find original, punk rock gets handed to you on a single disc.  And then the usual great booklet, 16 pages of history, photos, lyrics and almost a whole page of people and bands the band keeps in their memory.  Wot a deal.  chrisbct@hotmail.com


title: It's true! Real (fast) punk rock, high quality too.

text:
Yes, it's the other NEIGHBORS CD.  The full title is: The More Money One Has The More Important Is One's Life.  14 songs in probably about 15 minutes.  For these guys its an album.  When I saw them live about 2002, I was dazzled at how fast and all out every single band member played for every single song, all throughout every song.  I'd never seen it before, or since.  In fact, even from them about a year later when they added about 2 songs to the live set that actually slowed down a notch.  This is their first record, from 1998.  San Diego band.  Two guitars and you can sure tell, fills out the sound well.  Real nice guys.  Been a band for 10 years then toured Europe for the first time about 2003 and apparently broke up upon returning.

If you like your punk rock fast and you didn't think anything much interesting came from punk rock after about 1986, well, this'll let you know: they guys gots the punk rock goods.  Yow.  chrisbct@hotmail.com

didn't really care that much for it.  the sound & songs are good, but i'm just not into it.


title: Fantastic CDs.

text: I have been trying to figure out which CD I like more. Answer is : BOTH. Absolutely love every song! My favorite part is that the CDs cover booklet has all the lyrics to every song. He is my favorite country singer. Songs range from touching and heartfelt to down right fun! Most songs I had never heard before but now I know them by heart. I can't pick a favorite....A++


title: Five Stars

text: Perfect ! Thank You


title: All hail the Funk Master George Clinton

text: The funk still prevails as an original Black American musical art form.


title: Enjoying Clint Holmes CD

text: Arrived in good condition. I had never heard f him before seeing him at a live performance in Boca Raton. He has a great voice and wonderful stage prescence. Hope to see him live again soon.


title: Loved it

text: We loved it. We bought the disc for Op 49 No. 1. I went to Itune and compared over 20 different performance by different musicians. Loved Alfred Brendel's. His interpretation of the piece (Op 49 No. 1) is so beautiful and the dynamics are very interesting. My son's piano teacher approved it too.


title: Harry Potter what more can I say?

text: The music is rather calming  and good for the car but  note it is only from one movie.  Must be the whole soundtrack.

title: Great small orchestra recording

text: Disregard the lame cover. It's a very groovy (as the title says) and sophisticated record. Plenty of great solos. Great arrangements overall. Highly recommended.

title: Amazing New Artist!!!

text: Amazing voice with interesting arrangement structures.


title: Beautiful, calming music!

text:
I highly recommend this CD!
Wonderful, old hymns and this CD is so peaceful!!
Great to listen to at work to make the day better.


title: Lovely Dvorak

text: Good recording of some lovely Dvorak pieces. We heard one of these performed at Marlboro and had to have it. The recording lived up to the delight of the concert. And the rest of the disc is up to that standard.  If you like the lyricism and emotion of Dvorak then these are delightful ways to enjoy him.


went through 2 of these as replacements and within a couple days of usage it sprung multiple leaks. in theory concept of an expandable & contractable hose is good, actual execution of product, not very.


title: A little sharp

text: Various reviews claim this recording is either on pitch, a half tone sharp, or a full tone sharp. Here's another data point. My copy is a just a tad sharp, using my piano to compare, but not even a quarter tone. Just a little sharp. Other CDs that I have checked are on the money with my player, so I believe my copy really is sharp. It shouldn't be sharp at all, but I don't have perfect pitch and I'm not trying to play along, so this is nothing to diminish my enjoyment of these recordings. I got the original LP release of this set as a present from my father when I was in high school in the 60s, and I've treasured it ever since. But it is sure nice to hear without the clicks and pops, even if it is a tad sharp.


title: Four Stars

text: Exactly as promised.  Very prompt delivery.


title: Love Jim Reeves

text: This is our third copy.<br />One for each vehicle and third for the house.


title: It's worth it.

text: I bought this CD from Dibbs himself when the Detonators were the pre show for Brian Setzer. It's a great CD. It has been on our playlist for 8 years.<br />Our favorite tune is "Going back to Texas"


title: The King of Scandinavian humor skewers Christmas

text:
Also available at directly from the artist at stanboreson.com, I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas is a classic parody album featuring Stan Boreson and Doug Setterberg.

This record got thrown into the mix, whenever throwing on a stack of records during holiday gatherings annually for decades in our family. Humorous versions of several classics and a few originals along with a few talking story songs.

Would fit right in with Weird Al Yankovic and Doctor Demento, but the cultural references are to Spiro Agnew and Walter Cronkite, so this was already old when they first played it around me when I was still a kid. Solid performances and I still think I can remember all the words.


title: Absolutely love this album

text:
I absolutely love this album. Perfect for listening in Summer or Springtime.

The CD case I received had a broken spindle, so the CD doesn't fit securely in the case, but it doesn't matter too much as I'm not transporting the CD very often.


title: Brilliant

text: One of my all time favorite albums. A weird mix of North African, Middle Eastern, Pakistani, Indian and 80's synth. I don't even know how that works together but it does... and sounds like nothing else I have ever heard. Just a beautiful album from start to finish.


title: Five Stars

text: It will be part of my family's Christmas music from now on.


title: Great Music

text: Bought these for a friend of mine who is from Poland.  She loves them. The music is upbeat and great to listen to.


title: A CD that has repeatedly refocus my spiritual journey back to Him.

text:
I originally bought this CD for the track "When I survey", which was a beautiful hymn set to a beautiful melody. Man, have I discovered a gem! The whole CD is a gem. I have this CD for 4 years now and it continues to be one of the few that I keep going back to listen to over and over again. My appreciation for it has grown the more I listen to it because my spirit is always refocused back onto the amazing love of Jesus in a fresh way every time I listen to this CD.
Music wise, it has a very well balanced collection and order of celebrative (loud) and contemplative (calm) songs.
"Worthy is the Lamb" spoke and brought my mind and heart back to looking at Jesus during a very short moment of anxiety in my life when I was trying to strive for my own glory and fame.
In "When I survey", Kathryn sang with simplicity so to let the lyric of the hymn really speaks for itself.
This is one of the CD I would recommend people to buy and see for yourself. But I also understand that God may use other music or venues to encourage you in your spiritual journey. By all mean, seek him as He directs you.
Sometimes, I just look at the song titles at the back of the CD case and my heart is touched by Christ's sacrificial love and want to seek the will of my Father even more. I mean, just look at the song titles such as "Heaven is out home", "Breathe on me now", "Hungry (Falling on my knees)", "Search Me Know me", "At the Foot of the Cross", "Worthy is the Lamb", "When I survey the wondrous Cross"... etc.


title: Beautiful, uplifting music

text: The record I recently purchased by Bob Moline is so inspiring.  I wish he would record it as a CD so more people could listen to his beautiful renditions  of these hymns.  I love his voice and the spirituality of this music.


title: Poor quality

text: Poor quality detracted from the nature of this CD.  Even without the poor quality it was just eh . . .


Absolutely wonderful! The CD was in perfect shape. Although it was new, the case was cracked, so the company, BEN'S ODDS & ENDS, sent an extra new case for me. It arrived quickly and was exactly what I had wanted.


title: Fun album

text: Fun album. Yes it’s in German, no I don’t speak German. But it’s fun.


title: The book has more info

text: The book has more info. If you only buy one , the book or the CDs definitely get the book. The CDs are not bad, just not like the book. It is not the book recorded. It is only a condensed talk. The book is way better.


title: Best album

text: Really nice, the only thing that made me sad is that I pulled woojin and he’s, ya know, the scum of the earth but obviously that isn’t Amazon or skz fault. I did however also pull Changbin so that’s nice☺


title: CD

text: I enjoy the music from the 40's so this CD was for me.  Play it in the car.


title: Big disapointment! IT'S MONAURAL, NOT STEREO

text: Are you kidding me?  THIS IS NOT STEREO.  How could they do such a thing?  Both record albums were available in stereo.  I can even find stereo versions on the internet to listen to.  To confirm that I am not having a problem with my hearing, the back of the CD contains this statement: "This CD contains the premiere release of the original film recording for each score in the best-available monaural sound.".


title: Some nice jazz

text:
This 2013 CD is on the Kritzerland label and is limited to 1,000 copies. Recorded in 1961. No times are listed on either the CD or the liner notes. There are 32 tracks for a total of about 70 minutes.

There is some nice jazz on this CD but some of it is in mono. (My favorite song is in stereo and is over 4 1/2 minutes long.) Of course, the music was written to set a particular mood in the movie. Most of the jazz is cool and "relaxed". A few songs have strings while others have just a small combo of a few instruments (sax, trumpet, piano, etc). A couple songs would work well in an old detective movie.

This Paramount Pictures black and white movie was produced and directed by John Cassavetes and starred Bobby Darin and Stella Stevens.

From the liner notes: We had access to the scoring session masters and the original prerecords done for the "live" playing in the film. The latter were all recorded in one-track mono, while the score cues and some of the source cues were recorded in three-track stereo. Given how the music functions in the film, we took a different approach in sequencing the album, trying for an optimal listening experience rather than strict film order - which would have given an hour of jazz cues before the first score cue. We have included all the music written for the film - first the film cues, and then a bonus section filled with alternates and various odds and ends.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome


title: Buy it!

text: This is a great DVD. If you don't know Perpetuum Jazzile, give them a listen<br />on Youtube, then buy some of their music. You won't regret it.


title: Awesome!

text:
I don't actually have this item in my hot little hand yet,
but I've heard most of the music from it already.

If you don't know Perpetuum Jazzile, PLEASE, go to
YouTube and have a listen. This Slovenian choir
sings a variety of music, much of it a capella, and
does it better than most.


title: Quality's gone

text: Both CD cases were broken! Quality of sound isnt quite right.


title: One of my favorite Michaelageli discs

text: While most of the material here can be found elsewhere, the sound here is far beyond many other recordings by the artist.  One of my favorite Michaelageli discs!


Piano playing at the top of it's class.  Wish she would perform in the U.S.  She deserves to be far better known in the West.


title: disappointed

text: I was really looking forward to this CD. I had heard it before at a friends and loved it. How disappointed I was when I received it.CD skipped and stuck. It would be more trouble than what I paid for CD to send back.


title: Excellent condition!

text: Enjoying my goldie oldie! Excellent condition!


title: Say "Om" with Soma

text: Wonderful music for meditations, initiations, attunements, healing, Reiki. Very peaceful and relaxing, and conducive to altered states. You can go deep with this one. Highly recommended.


title: easy to apply

text: great product / Will def buy more from this seller. its perfect for what I wanted. Quick shipping. Thank you!


title: Gregorian chants and rocks!

text: Both the CD and DVD were excellent! Loved the beautiful musical selections and covers. The live concert in Prague was awesome!


title: Five Stars

text: Old standards


title: The Quality of the sound

text: I have waited a long time to get a clean copy of Buckingham Nicks Album! It came out in 1973 and I have the original vinyl but it has a few scratches.  The CD Is wonderful, clean and like new! So if you are wondering should you purchase it, that would be a yes!


title: I was disappointed in it

text: I am thinking of posting this for sale again. I was disappointed in it. It does not have the fire and energy for me, that the ones with just Ester Hicks and Abraham have. I like the ones she channels much better.


title: Disappointed

text: Multiple skips


title: What a great album! I was amazed to find this on ...

text: First heard this album back in 1982 when my brother got out of the Army. He was stationed in Germany and this is a gem that he brought home. After much searching I found out this album was never imported to the US from Germany. What a great album! I was amazed to find this on Amazon so I just had to get it after all these years.


title: Good stuff

text: Good first effort! I look forward To hearing more


title: Five Stars

text: Takes me back to my childhood.


title: yep

text: met expectations


title: Justin Timberlake's latest is a very well-produced opus.

text: I'm not a big fan of "boy band" music but had seen a couple of the pieces from this album performed on TV and was interested in owning it.  Not at all disappointing, but not as new and exciting as I'd imagined.  Justin Timberlake has a good voice and the production values are pretty high, but this album, after all, a very commercial undertaking.  I'll keep it in the mix when entertaining, but I can't say I'd sit and listen to it as closely as I would to an artist such as Esperanza Spalding, but I admit that's trying to compare apples to oranges.  This is a good CD to put in a background mix.


title: Amazing voice of Johnny Cook

text: I looked high and low for this CD by Johnny after hearing "On Silver Wings" on Enlighten34 XM radio one day. This man's voice was touched by God and he brings God's message to us in such a way it has to touch one's heart. I thought that 29.95 was a bit much for a CD but bought it and after hearing it would have paid twice that. Even though a man his voice reminds me so much of Vestal Goodman's who I also loved listening to. If you love real good Southern Gospel music you have to have this in your collection. It really doesn't get much better then this.


title: Four Stars

text: Enjopying this cd.


title: Perfect summer CD

text: I've had this CD for so long! At least 15 years.  Perfect summer songs with a a little Cuban twist.


title: Fantastic album.

text: Like another reviewer said. How the hell did I get this old and not know about Otis Taylor's music? Apparently Otis refuses to be under a record company contract thumb and does releases on his own time. Fantastic music. That's his daughter playing the violin I believe. If you liked Jimi's version of Hey Joe, get this you'll love Otis's version I'm very sure.


title: one song

text: Nights in White Satin is what I bought this for,,, and that song is different than the original...  too HIGH PITCH


title: Outstanding remixes of one of Paul Simon's best singles!

text:
Paul Simon's songwriting craft is almost peerless and for almost 50 years he's been making some of the most evocative and touching music in the rock era.  His turns of phrase resonate deeply and that was certainly the case for me with 1986's "Boy In The Bubble" off [[ASIN:B0071QB0RS Graceland]]. A plaintive cry on how technology is impacting and affecting our lives in profound ways, Simon summons up imagery that inspires a sense of fear and wonder at our rapidly changing world against a beat provided by Apartheid-era South African musicians.  Rather than allowing fear of backlash stopping him, Simon sought to embrace what would become known as World Music, becoming one of it's leading proponents, although he'd been doing so since back in his Simon & Garfunkel days.  The remixes by Steve Thompson enhance and improve upon the original, giving it nuances not in the original.  Amazon doesn't list the tracks but they are as follows:

1. Boy in the Bubble [7" Single Remix] - 3:45
2. Boy in the Bubble [12" Extended Remix] - 6:14

Neither remix garnered much play in clubs but they're well worth tracking down if you can find them.  I'd worked for WMNF 88.5 FM back when I got this as a promotional CD and I know we played the heck out of it as it fit into our format quite well.  I'm a bit taken aback to see how much this goes for...they're great tracks but I don't know I could pay quite that much for it!


title: Great single and adds a non-album track

text:
"Possessed" was the lead off single for Vegas, the one-off group of Terry Hall and Dave Stewart, pairing Terry up after the demise of Terry, Blair & Anouchka and Dave after the end of Eurythmics.  On paper it sounded like a great combination but the results were a bit mild on delivery, sounding more like some of Terry's former groups (think the softer moments of The Colourfield in particular) rather than the more raucous moments of the Eurythmics.  That's not to say Vegas sucks, but my own expectations were probably unrealistically high at the time.  With the passing of years I now realize how good Vegas was and it's a shame they were a one-off.  This single adds the album track "The Day It Rained Forever" and the non-album track "Infectious" making it worth tracking down.  Amazon doesn't list the tracks but here they are:

1. Possessed
2. The Day It Rained Forever
3. Infectious


title: All tracks from the album...the obsessive only!

text:
Terry, Blair & Anouchka was a one-off for Terry Hall as he sought direction following the end of the Colourfield, partnering up with American actress Blair Booth and jewelry designer Anouchka Grose...something of an odd collective.  The eponymous title track was the second single and made it to the U.K. Hot 100 in early 1990.  The CD Single here however adds nothing that isn't already on the album rendering it as something more for obsessive fans.  The tracks are nice and Amazon doesn't list them so here they are:

1. Ultra Modern Nursery Rhyme
2. 2. Hush Hush Balloo
3. Love Will Keep Us Together

Their cover version of the Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" is a delightful romp and fun to listen to.  But I'd suggest you save your money here and opt for the album instead!


title: An essential buy for Terry Hall fans!

text: Clearly there were high hopes for Terry's debut solo record and the single "Chasing a Rainbow"  from [[ASIN:B00004URIV Home]] got the full court press with a two-CD Single release.  But without an excess of new material to use for B-sides Terry opted to include live versions of songs from his previous bands.  To say Terry Hall has always been a team player is something of an understatement and that's clearly something he benefits from as "Chasing a Rainbow" is co-written with Blur's Damon Albarn and the two's writing style works together quite harmoniously.  The track is clearly the strongest off of [[ASIN:B00004URIV Home]] and the B-side "Mistakes" is another gem co-written with longtime pal Ian Broudie, who Terry has worked with on many Lightning Seeds tracks.  The delight here too are the live tracks "See No Evil" and "Ghost Town" which includes vocals by Tricky giving this classic Specials track a new relevance and contemporary feeling.  For fans of Terry's music this is truly one worth tracking down as "Mistakes" is a track worth having and the live tracks, especially "Ghost Town" are truly worth having.  In my humble opinion Terry Hall has never gotten his due as a vocalist and songwriter despite his deep and profound influence on so many other musicians.  Terry has been willing to take risks and chances with most usually paying off quite well.  It's a shame he's never found the commercial success he deserves but I guess he can bask in the profound critical acclaim he's earned.


title: Dreamy synthpop from a favorite chantuese

text:
Following her stints in Propaganda and ACT, Claudia decided to take a solo turn in 1990, working with Pascal Gabriel and Steve Nye.  Her first single, Absolut(e) and the resultant album [[ASIN:B003UN58VU Love: And A Million Other Things]] saw a subtle yet distinct move away from her earlier work with the aforementioned groups.  Previously her voice was used for dramatic punch; here she's crooning softly and lovingly with the hard edges giving way to dreamy synthpop.  While "Love" has a fairly diverse sampling of emotions and moods, "Kiss Like Ether" is a slower more romantic song and the second single from the album.  Amazon doesn't list the tracks but they are as follows:

1. Kiss Like Ether (Electrical Embrace) 6:45
2. Kiss Like Ether (As Pure) 3:55
3. I Dream 5:53
4. Kiss Like Ether (Earth Mood Magic) 3:24

The mixes range from stripped down to more electronica inspired and points towards the direction she would go with Andrew Poppy on [[ASIN:B0007WVA8M Another Language]] and Paul Humphries with OneTwo's [[ASIN:B0007XOGAU Item]].  For me there's something to Claudia's voice that enamors me.  She's not the greatest singer, but she's a GREAT vocalist and knows how to select songs that work in her range, imparting them with a wide range of emotion that leaves you anxiously awaiting for more.  In many respects she reminds me of Frances Faye, another great vocalist who knew how to use her phrasing and to select songs that worked in her range.  If you like electronica and synthpop then you'll LOVE this!

title: Some nice non-album tracks and a cheese-tastic 80's mix!

text:
"Don't Say No" is essentially a CD Single dressed up as an EP with tracks taken from the same sessions that produced [[ASIN:B000008LMF Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom]].  [[ASIN:B000008LMF Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom]] came out four years after [[ASIN:B000XEQ7IW Close to the Bone]] and at a time when the future of Tom Tom Club's parent group, Talking Heads, was somewhat uncertain.  At it's core Tom Tom Club was constituted of Talking Head's husband and wife rhythm section, bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Franz. The groups two first releases came during down time for Talking Heads and was essentially a side project that now has taken on a life of it's own with the demise of Talking Heads.  Boom Boom was something of a departure for Tom Tom Club, with more straightforward rock oriented tracks with a bit more edge than on [[ASIN:B000002KN3 Tom Tom Club]] and [[ASIN:B000XEQ7IW Close to the Bone]].  Granted there was still some whimsy and funkiness as witnessed on the tracks here but not to the degree as on the first two releases.  The group had also pared down to a core trio of Weymouth, Franz, and Weymouth's sister Laura.  "Don't Say No" was the first single off of [[ASIN:B000008LMF Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom]] and is fairly representative of the album as a whole.  The tracks aren't listed by Amazon but they are as follows:

Don't Say No - 4:23
Devil, Does Your Dog Bite - 3:43
Percapella - 3:54
Don't Say No (12 Inches of Love) - 6:32

The first track is essentially the album version, no different.  "Devil, Does Your Dog Bite" is a track often found on other Tom Tom Club singles and releases but it was a non-album track so this is one convenient place to find it.  Despite the title, "Percapella" isn't an a-cappella track, but a somewhat revamped, stripped down version of "Don't Say No" akin to what Tom Tom Club had done on earlier singles, again, a nice non-album track and a fairly nice reworking of "Don't Say No".  The 12 Inches of Love mix adds a lot of cowbell, Roto-Tom, percussion, and handclaps giving it a somewhat cheesy 80s feel, while at the same time not pumping up the BPM.  That's a bit surprising as that track moves at a fairly languid pace and a remix would seem an obvious point to whip things up for the dance crowd. That may explain why this track stiffed on the dance tracks.  As a whole this single is geared more for obsessive-completists as there isn't a whole lot to recommend it.


title: Primarily worth it for the live tracks

text:
"Empty Spaces" was the second single off the band's [[ASIN:B000007404 Heart Like a Sky]] release and while it scarcely dented the U.K. Hot 100 it is perhaps best remembered for the live tracks appended to it making it highly desirable for fans.  "Empty Spaces" is a bit typical of Spandau's late 1980s output; not as vibrant or daring as their earlier stuff but hardly offensive and generally pleasant.  It's unclear when the two live tracks were recorded but it's a safe bet it comes off either the [[ASIN:B00000DQMQ Parade]] tour circa 1984/5 or perhaps the [[ASIN:B000007407 Through the Barricades]] tour circa 1986/7.  Since Amazon doesn't list the tracks or running times here they are:

1. Empty Spaces - 3.56
2. With the Pride/Gold - 7:55
3. True - 6:27

"With the Pride" was a track from [[ASIN:B00000DQMQ Parade]] and not a single, which leads me to believe that this live recording comes from that tour.  Stylistically "With the Pride" leading into "Gold" isn't all that seamless or smooth but in its own way it works.  "True" pretty much sounds like what you would expect with only a few stylistic diversions from the original studio version.  Sure, "True" is a bit schmaltzy and atypical for Spandau for that era and perhaps everyone has heard it a few times too many.  All in all it's nice to have the live tracks and hints at what Spandau was like live in concert during this era.  It's a bit of a pity they didn't put out a live record as they sound pretty tight here!


title: A Holy Grail of Rarities and Non-Album Tracks

text:
Normally CD singles may add remixes, non-album tracks, or a live track, but this Japanese-only two disc set is rare in that it includes remixes, non-album tracks, AND live tracks from Bryan Ferry's legendary 1988 Glasgow concert.  This CD is the holy grail for Ferry fanatics looking for good quality live tracks.  Ferry has appended other live tracks here and there on various other CD singles, but never this many on one disc, making it well worth the money if you can find it.

Tracks on disc one are as follows:

1. Mamouna (Single edit)
2. The 39 Steps (Brian Eno Mix)
3. As the World Turns (a non-album Ferry/Jobson composition from 1977)
4. She's Leaving Home (a non-album cover of the Lennon/McCartney song, from 1976)
5. Four Letter Love (a non-album Ferry composition from 1978)
6. Broken Wings (a non-album Ferry composition from 1985)
7. Is Your Love Strong Enough (a non-album Ferry composition from 1985)
8. Jealous Guy (live version of the John Lennon composition, from the 1988 Glasgow concert)

Tracks on disc two are as follows:

1. Mamouna (single edit)
2. Mamouna (LP version)
3. Don't Stop the Dance (live version of the "Boys & Girls" track, from the 1988 Glasgow concert)
4. In Every Dream Home a Heartache (live version of the Roxy Music track from "For Your Pleasure", from the 1988 Glasgow concert)
5. Bete Noire (live version from his eponymously titled solo album, from the 1988 Glasgow concert)

The non-album tracks likely have appeared elsewhere but this is the first time I've seen them on CD.  The live tracks are from a performance long billed as one of Bryan's best, at a time when he backing band was tight and performing at the peak on the Bete Noire tour.  From a personal perspective it's interesting to compare and contrast Bryan's cover of "She's Leaving Home" with other version's I've heard, such as George Benson and in particular Al Jarreau.  This cover almost make's me wish Bryan would attempt a "Beatlesque" album much like he did with the covers of Bob Dylan on "Dylanesque".


title: Classic Talk Talk and a non-album B-side to boot!

text: "Life's What You Make It" was one of the singles from "Colour of Spring" and is certainly a fan favorite and danceworthy track, especially with it's deep penetrating bass and profound lyrical content.  The 12" single is certainly worth tracking down as it includes the Extended Dance Version of the track as well as the Dub Version; especially important DJs and remixing.  The real bonus is the non-album track "It's Getting Late In the Evening" which was recorded at the same time as the "Colour of Spring" tracks, but which was not included on the album.  Clearly the band had to carefully select tracks, but it's hard to see why this was left out as it clearly was in keeping with the rest of the material; Talk Talk produced a LOT of really good tracks in this era so clearly some editing was needed.  "It's Getting Late..." was included on the compilation "Asides Besides" so those interested can find it there along with other great Talk Talk non-album tracks.  The single is certainly worth tracking down too, especially for the remixes as they aren't included on other compilations.


title: Everyone burning with desire!

text:
Lazarus had nothing on Jefferson Starship when they made a surprising return from the dead in 1979 with "Freedom at Point Zero". Ditching Marty Balin, Grace Slick and the jazzy/blues inspired tracks clocking in at over five minutes liberated the group to rock as it hadn't in ten years. New vocalist Mickey Thomas gave them a vehicle better suited for rock and up-tempo numbers that put Jefferson Starship back on the charts. 1981's "Modern Times" cemented the group's return to form and gave the band the chance to "introduce" Grace Slick to the lineup to a positive and very devastating effect. "Winds of Change" saw them come of video age and welcome a new audience as never before, but the songs weren't as consistently good as the past two recordings. The title track kicks things off with awesome guitar work from Kantner and Chaquico and Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick coolly starting things off before things rapidly heat up. Things boil to a crescendo with both harmonizing to devastating effect. Mickey actually gets more "face time" on the record including the stunning "Be My Lady" that showcases his phenomenal vocal range. Grace is mostly relegated to comic effect on "Out of Control" which is by turns hysterical and really, really out there. Mickey tries to return things to normal on "Can't Find Love" harmonizing with Grace, but the sequencing of the tracks is really throwing things off here. Still, the track is just wonderful. The last three tracks are OK turns for the band, but are pointing to filler to pad out the (then contemporary 45 minutes) for the record. Net-net the good here totally outweighs the bad and it's certainly a good thing this is available domestically as I don't know I'd spring for the Japanese version at that price.

Now before you think I'm some rocker dude let me correct you...I also LOVE "Earth" era Jefferson Starship and the 70's ballads that turned people's stomachs. I grew up the child of quasi-free love hippie-wannabees that love Jefferson Airplane and I freely admit Peter Wolf ruined the group circa "Knee Deep In the Hoopla" when Paul Kantner bailed (and rightfully so!). Grace Slick has rightfully sworn off any further reunions and tours and rightfully so. Rest on your wonderfully voiced laurels darling...you've earned it!


title: If you enjoyed "Three Pyramids" then you want this!!!

text: Suggs didn't move too far away from his Madness days with his second solo CD "The Three Pyramids," and this EP served as the first single from that release as well as being incorporated in "The Avengers" movie soundtrack; quite a coup for our man Suggs!  The EP adds two bonus tracks not included on "Pyramids" ("Same Again" and "It Really Would Be Nice.").  If you enjoyed "Three Pyramids" then you'll definitely enjoy and want this EP.


title: Respighi's Roman trilogy finally comes to Surround Audio

text: I think my thoughts regarding this exceptional SACD fall somewhere between the first two reviews.  Yes the performances are spectacular and yes the sound is a bit recessed - odd for a surround recording but also quite exciting when the dynamic range found in the final episode of "Pines of Rome" begins to unfold.  I remember quite vividly Seiji Ozawa's spectacular concert in San Francisco's War Memorial Opera House years ago in which balcony and organ loft brass choirs helped bring the Pines of the Appian Way to a rousing conclusion and often wondered if anyone would attempt something so theatrical ever again.  Well someone has and the effect is, (IMO,)both fascinating and exciting.  The Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra with John Neschling conducting somehow manage to make this music their own with occasionally supercharged playing especially the French Horns as in the opening moments of "The Pines of the Villa Borghese."  Fortunately for fans of this music, all three Roman "symphonic poems" receive equal attention with wonderful ensemble and soloist work throughout.  In fact, for me the real surprise here is Maestro Neschling's searching reading of "Roman Festivals" which for years I rarely listened to.  Still, I can't say enough about this jaw dropping performance of Pines - audiophiles try and resist the urge to crank this one up until the very extended dynamic range of this recording can be appreciated.  Hopefully you, your hifi and perhaps your nearest neighbors will have plenty of time to further appreciate these performances in the months to come.

great history, and pics, even better music.  hard to believe it has been 50 years since the beach boys started playing.

they have really mellowed out, and they music reminds everyone of the great summers we had growing up.

thank you for some great memories.


title: Can't Stop Listening To This Great Music

text: Great Christian music from the 1970's.  I remember listening to this back when I was in college.  Hard to find this nice music today, and Amazon was an excellent place to begin my search.  I found what I was looking for, and can't stop listening to this LP album!


title: Fabulous CD!

text: I recently heard several songs on Pandora by Paul Baloche.  I was previously not familiar with Paul Baloche or his music, but I found that I really liked his music and his heart!  When I checked to see what album these songs were on, it was "Glorious" every time. When I see that there are 3 or more songs that I really like on the same album, I purchase it for my collection.  I was not disappointed with "Glorious"; it's fabulous!


title: "DUEL" on two eardrums

text:
Well, this is a relatively rare album of four old 78rpm records (released in 1946), that I have been trying to obtain for the last sixty years (since I was fourteen).  It's music from my all-time favourite movie. Recording equipment was still somewhat primitive back then, and this music score is bombastic, to say the least - and sounds as if it was recorded in an echo chamber.

Still, nice to have it after all these years and the album does contain
nice liner notes and photos.  If you like this classic old movie, the album makes a great souvenir.


title: Solo piano music by Brahms

text: This is a Philips Duo CD so it has been compiled from various LPs recorded in London and Amsterdam in 1968, 1969, 1971, 1981 and 1983. The soloists are Stephen Kovacevich (playing the piano pieces Opp. 116, 117, 118, 119, and the Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Handel); Dinorah Varsi (playing the two Rhapsodies and the Piano Pieces Op.76); and Adam Harasiewicz (playing the Variations on a Theme of Paganini). The two sets of Variations here - on themes by Handel and by Paganini - were composed in 1861/62 when Brahms was in his late 20s. But the remaining pieces were composed betwen1879 and 1893, just four years before his death. It is these pieces that give the title of the CD. The playing is fine, the piano tone quite warm and soft and not as brittle as it often sounds in more modern recordings. They are mostly analogue recordings (except Opp. 116 and 118 which are digital). I have lived happily with this double CD since it was released two decades ago and I would not want to be without it. The second of the four Intermezzi in Op.118 has gained a certain extra popularity recently as it is featured in some of the episodes of Robert Parker's Jesse Stone thrillers on TV.


title: Two lovely French vocal works

text: There are several fine recordings available of these pieces, and which you choose depends on your preference for the vocalists concerned. This budget price CD couples Claude Debussy's `La Damoiselle Elue' - a short cantata based on Dante Gabriel Rosetti's `The Blessed Damozel' - and Ernest Chausson's `Poème de l'amour et de la mer'. This is a particular favourite of mine because the Debussy features the lovely mezzo-soprano Janet Coster, who achieved fame with her roles with Welsh Opera in the 1960s, and soprano Montserrat Caballé in the Chausson. The Debussy was composed in 1888 and the Chausson in 1892. The recordings date from 1977 when both singers were in particularly fine voice and the recording was originally released in 1989. The orchestra in both works is the Symphonica of London conducted by Wyn Morris. If you like French vocal music but don't know these rarely heard works, I would strongly recommend them.


title: Schumann's interpretation of the Faust legend

text:
Several composers of the Romantic period wrote ballets, operas or symphonies based on the Faust legend. The inspirational text was usually that by Goethe. In this instance, in music by Robert Schumann, we have a collection of `scenes' that together represent a quasi-oratorio, written for soloists with orchestral backing. The performers and performance are excellent. The soloists are Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone, Faust), Elizabeth Harwood (soprano, Gretchen), John Shirley-Quirk (baritone, Mephistopheles), Peter Pears (tenor, Ariel and Pater Ecstaticus), Jennifer Vyvyan (soprano as the angel). They are supported by the Wandsworth School Choir and Aldeburgh Festival Singers with Benjamin Britten conducting the English Chamber Orchestra. This is a first-class historic recording of the work made at the Maltings, Snape, in 1972, just a few years before Britten's death. Though this is perhaps something of a piece for Schumann enthusiasts, I cannot recommend this performance too highly.

title: Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony No.2

text:
I have several recordings of this work but my favourite remains the performance by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Rafael Kubelik with Edith Mathis (soprano) and Norma Procter (contralto) as soloists. I love the voices of the soloists, and the playing and recording of the orchestra (by DGG) I think are excellent. This performance has the advantage also of being available on a single CD - my other discs of the work are all double CDs. This is a digital remastering dating from 1969. As it was released earlier in their Classikon series at budget price, the booklet is a little sparse in information; but this performance has just been re-released.

Gustav Mahler's 2nd Symphony is sometimes called `the Resurrection' - referring to the `Titan' whose demise was supposed to be represented by the Symphony No.1 with its third movement funeral march. It is purely orchestral in its first three movements and partly choral, with soloists, in the final movements. There is also a fine recording of the 2nd Symphony on Decca by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and Chorus under Herbert Blomstedt (Ruth Ziesak and Chalotte Hellekant as soloists) and another on EMI by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Simon Rattle. This last recording has the lovely Arleen Auger as soprano but Janet Baker as contralto. Now Janet Baker is a fine singer but I have a personal dislike for the way she tends to swoop at notes. Which of these splendid recordings you choose is purely a matter of personal preference - I would have no other criticisms to make of any of them. There are also several boxed sets available of all the Mahler symphonies by other reliable conductors and orchestras, like Leonard Bernstein with the New York Philharmonic and Bernard Haitink with the Concertgebouw Orchestras.


title: Dance music as it was in the 1950s

text: This was the next CD to be released by Mike Dutton's Vocalion label featuring the John Wilson Orchestra after his successful Orchestral Jazz release. There are 20 tracks on the CD played in arrangements by one of Britain's top dance bands of the 1930s and 1940s, Geraldo.<br />Geraldo was the exotic sounding stage name of bandleader Gerald Bright, born in London. One of Geraldo's key arrangers was the young Wally Stott who eventually formed a band of his own in England. Stott later emigrated to America and became known as an arranger under the name of Angela Morley, though only one of the arrangements here is hers. Most of the other tracks are arranged by Alan Roper, with other tunes arranged by Reg Owen, Roland Shaw and Johnny Keating - all names familiar to those of us who are old enough to have listened to and danced to this music the first time around! This is dance music at its best - the sort of music teenagers danced to for several decades until the emergence of rock-and-roll in the 1960s. Wilson has also recorded two more CDs of Angela Morley arrangements.


title: A Jack Jones hit parade

text: This fine double CD contains 34 of the songs that Jack Jones helped to make popular. Jack is the son of the Hollywood actor and crooner Allen Jones, best known for his recording of 'Donkey serenade', a piece that Herbert Stothart arranged for the 1937 film Firefly from a composition by Rudolf Friml. Here we have Jack's first big hit, 'Lollipos and roses', and many tracks taken from other Jack Jones CDs - like 'Young at heart', 'True love' and 'You made me love you' from the Nelson Riddle LP There's Love and There's Love and There's Love; 'Dear heart' from the LP of the same name, for which David Kapp employed three different arrangers, and lots more hits: 'If you go away', 'Our song', 'The impossible dream', 'You're my girl' and more. Jack Jones has a fine tenor voice and these CDs present some of his best-known recordings.


title: Schubert Symphonies by the Dresden Staatskapelle

text: It is hard to realise that this set of eight symphonies were composed within the space of only 15 years, such is the development of Schubert's style from Symphony No.1 to Symphony No.9. This complete set by The Dresden Staatskapelle under Wolfgang Sawallisch for Philips captures the lightness of playing that I always associate with Schubert's music. The recordings also contain four of Schubert's Overtures in the Italian Style conducted by Raymond Leppard.


title: Some wonderful early Elgar

text:
The Dream of Gerontius was Elgar's first oratorio, though he had written cantatas earlier. The text is based on a poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman who was an English mid-19th century convert to Catholicism. This performance has tenor Anthony Rolfe-Johnson as Gerontius, mezzo-soprano Catherine Wyn-Rogers as the Angel and the bass Michael George as the Priest. The soloists are backed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vernon Handley. Which version of `The Dream' you want to live with is very much an individual choice, usually depending on the soloists. I have lived happily with this version for a couple of decades. My second choice would be the version by Sir John Barbirolli wit the Halle Orchestra and Richard Lewis, Janet Baker and Kim Borg as soloists.

Elgar's Organ Sonata is an early work, composed even before the Enigma Variations: he was a competent organist himself and could also play several other instruments. I have heard this work too in its original form. Much as I like the sound of the organ, the texture, perhaps not surprisingly, sounds much more like the Elgar I know and love in this orchestrated arrangement by composer Gordon Jacob, who worked on the piece on the recommendation of Sir Adrian Boult. Indeed, it could be taken as Elgar's Zeroth Symphony, like Bruckner's. On the other hand, there are some more modern touches of orchestration so it sounds more like it could also be regarded as `Elgar's 3rd Symphony' were it not for the reconstructed version of the actual 3rd by Anthony Payne.

The orchestrated Organ Sonata received its first performance in 1947 by Boult with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Here, this fine work is played on the CD in this original recording by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vernon Handley. For purists who object to this arrangement let us not forget that Elgar himself made orchestral transcriptions of several well-known works by Bach, Handel and Chopin. For those who know the organ sonata in its original form but have not heard this orchestrated version I would unreservedly recommend it.

The Wand of Youth Suites were early compositions, written from the 1860s on but not published until 1907/8. They capture something of the imagination of children at play with movement titles like `Fairy Pipers', `Fairies and Giants' and `Wild Bears'. Their atmosphere is recaptured again by the Nursery Suite written near the end of the composer's life. They are altogether quite delightful.

title: Who Wouldn't Love Hank?

text: I bought it for my daughter and she has listened to it multiple times already!  She loves Hank Smith and is asking for more =)


title: What's Going On Here?

text:
This is a mightily impressive performance of Belshazzar..I think. Paul Daniel's conducting is incisive, rhythmically alert and driving, the orchestra is superb, but the chorus, as has sadly become the case during the last 50 years or so, is light in tone and thus tends to be overpowered. Still, they sing with precision and passion.

So what's not to like? Simple. The acoustic is so overly-resonant and "live" that all you hear is a massive "BLUR" for roughly 40% of the work...even with a full score in front of you. The music is complex, finely detailed, and heavily syncopated, but it's IMPOSSIBLE to make out much of this. Too bad, since everyone is working at a very high level.

The problem also plagues the 2 Marches...much too resonant and boomy, with a near-total loss of detail and texture throughout, exacerbated by Mr. Daniel's brisk tempi; the marches are almost a total loss, musically and sonically.

I'm afraid my copy of this CD will end up at the local Goodwill, which is a shame. There's just not enough room on the shelf.  LR


title: Gottlob Frick LIVE!!

text:
I realize that the Wynn Morris 10th is the big attraction here, but the Eduard Flipse live performance of the 8th Symphony from the 1954 Holland festival should not be ignored; or should not HAVE BEEN ignored, since it looks like this set is a goner.

The Flipse set was available for many years on the EPIC lable; the rather dim-sounding recording is a curio, since it was one of the very earliest Mahler 8ths in the catalogue (the 1951 Scherchen recording is also very scarce). The performance itself is not particularly noteworthy, save for the fact that the great basso Gottlob Frick is heard in the role of Pater Profundis in Part II---and he's really good.

Now that this CD version has been deleted and the "collectible" price has gone through the roof, it looks like I'll have to stay with my old Epic vinyl set.


title: The "New" Recordings

text: This was a pleasant surprise. They sound great on this CD.  I highly recommend it to people who enjoy real music with fresh sounding arrangements.

title: Interesting songwriters--Ashford & Simpson!

text: Nicholas Ashford & Valerie Simpson co-wrote the song on this album, "The Hard Way" along with Jo Armstead. Ashford & Simpson later wrote *several* Motown hits, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" first sung by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell. It was later a huge hit for Diana Ross. Another hit of theirs was "Let's Go Get Stoned" first done by the Coasters. It was later covered by Ray Charles and then Joe Cocker. Armstead was a frequent collaborator of Ashford & Simpson in the mid-1960s. The performance of "The Hard Way" is pretty good.

text: I found this tape while going through stuff to throw out. I don't know how long I owned it. So opened the wrapper and found a delight. ( I have a USB cassette that I bought to transfer my tapes to MP3) The songs represent a nice cross section of the 50's to late 60's RCA catalog. From The End of the World and the Diary to The Still of the Night to These Eyes and Grazing in the Grass, there's something for everyone.


title: Very Relaxing

text: Beautiful music


title: Very Nice

text: This CD features some of the favorite music from OoT performed with a more classical sound by a string ensemble, occasionally adding other intstruments such as the piano, harp, and, of course, the ocarina.  The music is absolutely beautiful.  It was already very good in the game, but it's even better to hear it played by live instruments.  My only problem is that they don't have anything in English.  The CD comes with a booklet about Ocarina of Time, but unfortunately it's all in Japanese, so I can't read it.  I don't think that alone is enough to reduce the rating for it.  If you enjoyed the music from the game, you should definitely look into getting this CD.


title: They HAVE to be kidding!

text:
50 bucks? Are they really determined that people not buy this? (I checked to see whether it was diamond-studded or made of platinum, apparently not). Having seen it on Netflix, I was only curious as to whether such things were available as DVDs on this side of the planet. Anyone who pays 50 bucks for this is either incurably romantic or has rocks in their head.

Oh, the series. Notting Hill meets The Godfather. The whole thing is built on a staggering series of utter improbabilities, but then, we are basically talking fairy tale here. Privileged girl who's a tool of scheming mother and former mother-in-law seeking to advance their political/economic ambitions meets ordinary guy, a bizarre mixture of wisdom and naïveté, and who has absolutely no idea who she is (they don't even appear to have given each other their names!), but, who, it will turn out, becomes her employee, and becomes the means of setting her free from the prison of her enforced life. And, with many twists and turns, attempted backstabbings and total improbabilities, the whole melodramatic shebang advances towards the inevitable happily-ever-after ending.

It's saved to some extent by the acting, which is generally good, and quite a nice music score, which seems quite often to be Bach-and Pachelbel (yes, THAT one)-inspired. The heroine is stunningly gorgeous - her presence alone is justification for watching it - the hero has such a set of choppers that, when he smiles, you reach for your sunglasses, the two mothers are so wonderfully malevolent and manipulative that the temptation to boo every time they come on the screen, as in a British pantomime, is almost overwhelming, and the actors in the sub-plots (the secretary's desire for a desirable date) are amusing. No sex, no violence, good family viewing. But 50 bucks?


title: Great listening

text: Maurice André may have been the greatest trumpeter to put lips to mouthpiece- the technique and tone were astonishing. Although much of André's piccolo trumpet recording now sounds somewhat antiquated, courtesy of the revival of the natural trumpet and revised  ways of playing baroque, the best of it makes really enjoyable listening. Such as this record, to which I am listening as I write this review (which is why I'm doing it!). André taught trumpet at the Paris Conservatoire in the 1960s-70s, and in this recording for Erato, he gets together a group of his students, including Guy Touvron and Bernard Gabel, who were to go on to distinguished careers, for a mixed programme of baroque multi-trumpet works. Recorded in a sonorous acoustic with thundering timpani and bright trumpets, these slight but thoroughly enjoyable works make a wonderful sound.


title: Stunning

text: The BBC used to have a radio program called "Desert Island Discs", in which a celebrity would come in a talk and play the ten gramophone records (yes, that long ago) s/he would take to his/her desert island. This would be one of mine. I can think of no other recording with so much "soul", however you wish to interpret that word. No other version I've heard comes near it for richness, for depth, even for fervour, amazingly so for a record made in Soviet times. As we were to find out, the soul of old Russia never died. The choir is magnificent, especially the descent in the "Nunc Dimittis" to low B-flat (it will make standing waves in your floor), and the two soloists sing with radiance and purity. The emotions come across palpably, even if, like me, your knowledge of Russian doesn't go beyond "vodka". You need this treasure of a recording. Kill for it, if necessary.


title: Excellent account

text:
Just over 70 years ago as I write, the first and last major aeronautical-only battle raged in the skies over southern England. The outcome, although dismissed by the Germans at the time as an unimportant side-show, was crucial to the outcome of the Second World War. For the first time, the Germans had received a set-back. And by failing to invade Britain or bring it to its knees, the Germans left off the coast of Europe an unsinkable aircraft carrier from which bomber fleets would one day pummel Germany day and night, and from which the operation to liberate Europe would be launched. Churchill's immortal "Few" changed the course of history. Without them, the Soviet juggernaut might have finally stopped at the Channel, instead of in central Germany.

The interesting thing that this book brings out is exactly that - the Germans failed, not that the British succeeded. As the Duke of Wellington said at Waterloo, it was a "damned close-run thing". The British survived, and that's all, but it was enough. All the cards were apparently in German hands. They had a big air force. In the Messerschmitt 109 they had the best fighter in the world, one that bested the early model of Reginald Mitchell's gorgeous Spitfire in nearly every department. And they were often flown by people such as Adolf Galland, hardened combat veterans of the Condor Legion in Spain. However, they were handicapped by being forced to use the wrong tactics, and by the facts that they had only a few minutes over the target and that every pilot shot down over England was a pilot lost, whereas an RAF flyer, if uninjured, was ready to fly again.

The British made up for their deficiencies in equipment and experience by being better organised and knowing exactly what they had to do. Sir Hugh Dowding, Head of Fighter Command, with a feeling for what lay ahead, sought to prevent his fighter squadrons being used up in France, which won him no friends. His devotion to doing the job no matter whose toes he stood on, and his total lack of interest in political machinations would eventually be instrumental in losing him his job. Dowding's 2-I-C Keith Park carefully husbanded his fighter squadrons, rotating them regularly to rest them adequately. Lord Beaverbrook's command of aviation production and his ruthless steamrollering of every bureaucratic obstacle ensured that Fighter Command ended the Battle with more fighter aircraft than it had when it started - the problem was always the loss of pilots. British aircraft repair services got damaged planes back into the fight with an efficiency that left the Germans in the shade. And radar and central control of the air war gave the RAF major advantages. In the meantime, Bomber Command raided targets regularly, even Berlin. These were relative pinpricks, but it gave the Germans the uneasy feeling that it was not all going to be plain sailing. And they were instrumental in making the Germans change tactics, to bombing cities, thus giving Fighter Command's battered airfields a respite.

In contrast, the Luftwaffe flew its aircrews to the point of exhaustion, and watched their numbers, morale and efficiency plummet as the annihilated RAF (according to propaganda) kept on coming at them with the same vigour as before. "Oh, look, here comes the last squadron of Spitfires," was the bitter joke.

The author is excellent in seeing things from both sides. He has talked to people who fought on both sides and got their views. He also includes the wider picture - you get not only the Battle of Britain, but also an examination of the preceding Battle of France, as well as a look at the submarine war, which, if prosecuted to the extent that old submariner Admiral Doenitz desired, could have brought Britain to its knees more efficiently than any air campaign. Altogether an interesting and informative account of the dramatic events of 1940.


title: What Vlad said...

text: To my ears, this remains the best recording of this work, and is worthy of an entire galaxy of stars. Never have I heard a recording - any recording in any genre - with so much "soul". The emotion gives you goosebumps on your goosebumps. I bought the vinyl in the early 1970s and I still treasure it, having been fortunate enough to get a CD version on Eurodisc when it released it. If you are unmoved by this record, you are dead. If you have the opportunity to buy it, grab it with both hands, both feet and teeth.


title: Amazing

title: Excelent choice

text: Excelent choice, Thank You!


title: Three Stars

text: It's a gift.


title: Only ok

text: Very hard to understand the words to the songs, not what I hoped for. Older toddlers may enjoy more than younger.


title: Gift

text: Gift from someone else. No complaints.


title: A gift for someone else!

title: Love it!!

text: It is a really nice recording. I have it in my car and I sing along with it the way to work.


title: great moisturiing

text: works as expected


title: Great!

text: I bought this just for "fake and true" because that song isn't on itunes, but the album is good! I like Whatcha doin' and changing and happy happy. Nice, positive messages! We need more of this overall.


title: ^_^

text: Awesome album by Junsu. Happy to finally have it in my collection


text: The CD is great; Bangtan is an amazing group. I received version Y at random, which is the one I wanted for photobook purposes. The additional gift mentioned on the product page is photocards of the concept individual teaser pictures and group picture (4 cards, a picture on both sides, made of a REALLY nice matte material). The only reason I didn't give 5-stars was because the poster wasn't folded properly (it got more creased than just where they folded it, perhaps the thickness of the paper caused this. See attached pictures. Also Y version poster has so much space that isn't filled with the members' faces, it could have been folded so none of the creases ended up on anyone's face...) I'm not sure why posters like this can't be sold in a poster tube since fans wait so long for albums anyway. I found another site from which I can purchase unfolded kpop posters from (with or without CD), so I might repurchase a different version from them-- I'll see what I want to do with this folded poster that I received...


title: Easy on easy off.

text: Easy on easy off.


title: Great Album

text: Ed Sheeran does it again with his Equals album.  If you are a fan of his previous works, you'll love this one as well.


title: An Old Classic

text: Lots of tunes from years past, still fun to listen to after all this time.  Classic Lionel Richie in his prime.


title: Great artistry, mediocre recording quality.

text: The piano artistry is certainly excellent, but the recording quality is mediocre and bizarre from 2007.  If somebody told me it was from 1980, I'd accept that.  Concerto 2 is bizarrely mic-ed, with the piano's bass notes coming out the right speaker, and the upper register the left.  The orchestra is mic-ed traditionally, and overlaying the two creates a disconcerting jumble, which is further diminished by muddy audio and no soundstage.  Interestingly, concerto 5 seems much more normal, like it was recorded by a different engineer.  If you are looking for concerto 2, I would recommend looking elsewhere.


title: Good, but very fast.

text: A lovely collection of works, but Collins plays them very fast.  Comparing the Saint Saens and Poulenc works to Richard Stolzman's older RCA recording of the same works ("Romance" album), Collins' pace seems a bit frenzied.  The Chandos recording is crystal clear, but is mic-ed from a distance, robbing the intimate chamber performance of some life, making it a bit sterile, and some of the clarinet timbre is lost.  Collins' rendition of the Reade Victorian Kitchen suite is, however, gorgeously phrased and a real joy.


title: Best rendition of the organ symphony 3

text: When compared to the old Telarc Murray, both the sound/recording quality and conducting are much better.<br />When compared to the older Munch RCA version 1959/1987 CD remaster, the sound/recording is much better, and the conducting is equivalent - both are excellent.


title: It was a dud for me

text: I’ve made lots of starters before using commercial type sourdoughs like this and they have all been able to raise a loaf within 48 hours. Sadly this stuff never even got going even after 3 days. Maybe I got an old stale sample or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


title: Read it and weep ! Then order a copy

text:
Amazing amazing musianship and recording quality ! I am a historical early Fever Tree concert attendee from multiple shows at Mount Carmel High School in Houston from a very young and tender age. These guys rocked then and their music is simply timeless. To my ear they represent the best of what musicians should represent . I was writing a review for five stars on their first two album cd collection only to find myself staring at this third and fourth album cd by mistake and noting it too had a perfect 5 star rating ! Amazing. And well earned. These guys sound like the Doors without the Illuminati /The Doors satanic evil side.
Fever Tree songs here Hey Mister and Girl Dont Push Me got tons of well earned air time on Houston radio growing up. Excellent songs by any measure. Then catch the “freedom, freedom,freedom, freedom” song lyrics and melody later (2years 1969) performed by Richie Havens to open the Woodstock concert film.
Amazing beautiful musical history and the best recordings sound quality ever of FeverTree.


title: Shiver me timbers!

text: My favorite sacd. Literally sent shivers up my spine on first and second plays. The original vinyl release is in my collection: This beats it by quite a margin.


title: Wonderful

text: Listen to it all the time. Good praise music, brings the HOLY SPIRIT in and brings shalom in for a great day!


title: Nastolgic and powerful tool to help children learn valuable truths

text: My children were raised on these stories and I love having these now for my grandchildren! These CD's reinforce Christian values and easily teaches scripture through song.<br />They are so well packaged and are more convenient than the cassettes of the past.


title: This is a must for Blues lovers.

text: You can't get a better compilation than this 4 CD set.  The Mt. Rushmore of female blues.  This is like the best of each one's career.  I highly recommend it.  You'll listen to it over and over.


title: Excellent Worship Music

text:
The track listing for this product is as follows:

1. Come And Sing Praises

2. Make Me A Servant

3. Jesus

4. Wonderful Counselor

5. All Through The Day

6. You Are My Hiding Place

7. As For Me

8. The Lord Is Good

9. O Lord You're Beautiful

10. Holy- Holy- Holy

11. The Lord Bless Thee

  The other eleven tracks consist of the same songs in instrumental versions. This CD includes excellent songs, as mentioned before; however, the sound quality leaves something to be desired. Unlike certain other Maranatha! recordings, men seem to noticeably outnumber women singers. However, this is the only drawback to a beautiful CD.

  "Jesus", "All Through the Day", "You Are My Hiding Place", and "Make Me a Servant" are some of my favorite songs on this album. For those unfamiliar with Maranatha! or its material, these are all gentle worship ballads--repetitive choruses that lend themselves nicely to an intimate experience with the Lord. Many of these songs were formerly very popular in churches; however, their prevalence seems to have diminished over the past ten years.

  For several months, I had been in search of the song "Beautiful". For anyone unfamiliar with this inexpressible worship chorus, the lyrics are as follows:

Beautiful, beautiful

Jesus is beautiful

And Jesus makes beautiful

Things of my life

Carefully

Touching me

Causing my eyes to see

Jesus makes beautiful

Things of my life

  This song is to be found on Track 9 along with "O Lord, You're Beautiful". If you, too, have been on a fruitless, year-long search for a song that gently glorifies the Lord's lovely peace, look no further. I do wish that this song had been separated from "O Lord, You're Beautiful", as Keith Green seems to be the only one who can properly sing the latter song. However, this is a minor discrepancy.

  Search long and hard for this material; it shall not disappoint you.


title: Listen to each one til you know if it is available to do so

text: I had heard an cd on the car radio but the name was not given.  It was very relaxing and “cool” but when I got the ones I guessed was<br />Correct it just didn’t have the same “feel”"


title: Soothing

text: Just what I expected. It is very easy to listen to.


title: Wrong Product for Description

text: This item is appetizer dip clips but the images and description are for an audio CD.


title: If you Like CCR, well worth it.

text: All their Great songs are on these two CD's.  Outstanding listening music, sing along and have a Great time doing it.


title: Amaazing

text: Great songs, great singer, just great !


title: Worth a little wait.

text: Thank you. Perfect as advertised.


title: One of my favorites

text: One of my favorite albums. A friend picked up for a quarter on vinyl at a yard sale and we both fell in love with it- just great. If you like T Bone Walker, give this a listen. Horn section is awesome, Gaines is great on guitar and vocals, I now have it as a CD and listen to it all the time. I think this is Roy Gaines best album, but he's done a lot of good stuff.


title: Love that era

text: Love all the songs. This cd is perfect!


title: Great

text: Great music. I enjoyed it a lot.


title: great, dirty, crunchy, catchy, very overlooked band.

text: Some great hooks from this band- the whole album, start to finish is not only fun, but solid..... "Alternative Garage Punk?"


title: The Happy Hits by Dick Schory

text: The reason I purchased this album is that I attended a concert with Dick Schory and the Percussion Pops Orchestra in the 1960's at the Army Navy School of Music in Virginia Beach, VA.  I remember so vividly this concert with 3 men playing all of the percussive instruments in front of the orchestra.  They would run helter skelter across the stage to be at the correct instrument to play.  It was absolutely amazing.


title: Dynamite!

text: Great variations of the title Dynamite!  Thanks!


title: Great cd

text: Wonderful cd!! Great music by Jason Gray


title: Great - Recent Highland Music

text: Quite good, interesting and different pipe and string music.  It is also wonderful to see the Johnstone family legacy continuing.


title: Great music

text: Love the music and performances


title: An outstanding quality of Pipeband music.

text: This recording was made life in Newyork. It is an outstanding recoding quality and an amazing collection of music. I would recomend it highly. The band is a world recognized band and the pieces of music chosen for this record were outstanding


title: Classic

text: Gordon MacRae had one of the most beautiful voices ever and he was incredibly handsome as well.  If you're a lover of musicals, stage or screen, buy this cd.


title: Disappointed!

text: Bad sound.  Orchestra can't play in tune.  Expected more from Teresa.  Not on par with Madredeus recordings.


title: Pan flute much like recordings of Zamfir.

text: This features a pan flute much like recordings of Zamfir.  One of those things that you'll either love or hate!  Too schmaltzy for me!


title: Very pleasant, better than hoped for!

text: Better  than I had hoped for!  She delivers these with a clear simplicity, but not too sweet!  A bit of country flair, enough complexity of instrumentation not to be boring, but not overdone either.  That said, this is a rather odd compilation.  Would not have expected a Steven Foster song to be included nor  Froggy Went A'Courtin which is a Scottish folk song, although it was later sung by Americans...


title: Mutter at age 15 conveys feeling and passion not heard in other versions of the Bruch.

text: Even though she was only 15 at the time, or maybe because she was only 15, Mutter conveys a passion not heard or experienced in other recordings of the Bruch concerto. Von Karajan and Mutter are a perfect match.  Pity this is not available new as there may be defects when purchased used.


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: Integrity Music at its BEST!

text: It has been quite a while since I have heard this CD.  Recently I had the chance to hear it, and rush to obtain my own copy once again.  This is Integrity Music at its BEST!  I highly recommend it!  If another copy becomes available, don't hesitate, grab it.  You won't be sorry! I promise.


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing how many songs are on these CDs! Great album!


title: Full Orchestral Treatment

text: I've had this CD for many years and I keep coming back to it whenever I want to feel better. The richness and depth of the full orchestra transports the mind and soul. I feel sorry for those who have never experienced this kind of quality and who, in their shallowness of knowledge, deride it as "elevator music". In fact, one rarely hears music on elevators except for screaming vocals.


title: Figure out your own headline.

text: Dreamy


title: Chet Atins Rules

text: Chet Atkins has never disappointed.  And this album is no exception.  Every song here is played as if written just for Chet.  Truly<br />masterful handling of each song. Chet fans will wrap up in a warm fuzzy of familiar yet unexpected treatments.  Those new to Chet's musical world, will be amazed.


title: It's Balzac! In your face.

text: It's Balzac!


title: BOOM

text: VERY GOOD


title: Al is Fantastic

text: I heard Al sing at church two weeks ago (He is a Franciscan Lay Minister). The man has a fantastic voice. I immediatley purchased his CD. You will enjoy his work.


title: great

text: I really like the cd it didn't have the Cinderella song on it like I thought it would but it was great


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome live album set !!!


title: Three Stars

text: not all his hits


title: Five Stars

text: like it.


title: These disc's sound GREAT IN 7.1 BLURAY SURROUND SOUND- BUY THIS SET- NOT THE SINGLE ISSUES-SAVE $$$$$$$

text: This is a really good deal if you want 7.1 surround sound of classical music.1) The folder holding the many disc's is twice as big as the one pictured.2) There is no on screen picture or menu at all on these discs so you must rely on the label.These are made to listen from start to finish,not so much for locating a piece of music.Also check each disc when this arrives as I got one "blank" disc and had to return ALL the disc's to get a complete set.FYI each disc has a circle on back from the pressing.If you have one that is smooth with no circle YOU HAVE A BLANK.So you don't have to test each one just look for the circle and you know it's good.THESE SOUND GREAT!!!! Like you are sitting in the conductors place.Very acoustic and warm.It doesn't sound like a recording: IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE THERE!!!!!These dic's are hard to find and cost $35<br />each.So for the price of 4 disc's you get 40 disc's!!!!!!!!Get it? I'm very happy with this HUGE SET of 7.1 Bluray Quality Classical Music! YAY!!!


title: Far out ,man

text: Great line up of music quest stars.Inter galactic stuff.


title: Not to be called a John Mayall cd.

text: Don't put Mayall's name on this one.His lone contribution is the best music on it.


title: Four Stars

text: Nice collection .


title: Zumba cd's

text: Not what I was looking for. Don't care for the music, wanted something that would keep me up beat while walking my half marathons..


title: Five Stars

text: Great music from a great composer.  Helps to balance out the "Cannibal Corpse" death metal vibe.


title: Love Ken Medema

text: Love Ken Medema. This is one of his earlier works I think. I am enjoying it very much


title: Awesome, but only if you buy the correct version!

text: Great soundtrack from an amazing TV series. Be sure you buy the 1987 version, which contains the songs from the show, and not the 2010 release, which substitutes some of the songs appearing in the series with songs that didn't, and at least one different version of song from the show. Worse still, the 2010 version doesn't contain the iconic theme music!


title: Great c.d.

text: Theses hymns are well recorded and sure to inspire Christians everywhere.  The music is enjoyable, peaceful, and relaxing.  Great stress relief.


title: Five Stars

text: great cd


title: Made a great b-day gift

text: Got this as a present for a coworker who loved it!

text: Good cd


title: Not a CD

text: This is advertised as a CD, it's not!


title: Here is musical jazz for the season.

text: Both are wonderful artists. Choice of recorded songs include many of my favorites. Well recorded.


title: Cathy Carr The Teen Sound

text: Best source for the info I wanted.  It is worth every penny it cost.  What more to say.  Buy this CD.


title: 10 stars

text: Why Mr. Miller what big ears you have! You are a blues man... killer stuff


title: This is not the color me gone you're looking for

text: Buyers beware - the CD version being sold under this Amazon listing is NOT the Color Me Gone EP with Marti Jones.  It is an Austin band and while I like Austin R & B this is not what I was hoping to purchase.

title: Brilliant!

text: This is a quintessential must have for anyone into club music.Brilliant!


title: Love her music

text: I love her music but I thought this was a actual box set bit just cds hence 4 stars other than that it’s great but if u look around u can buy each cd separate for Cheaper and that’s all this is 4 cds


title: Worth the price

text: Very good album


title: And you thought you knew Sherlock Holmes...

text: Patrick Tull brings the classic Sherlock Holmes horror tale of the Hound of the Baskervilles to stark and vivid life.  We may all have seen versions of this particular story done on TV or movie.  This totally unabridged reading far surpasses them all.  I walk about town and take buses a lot and listening to both these tales engaged me for a couple of weeks now.  I'd never heard of The Valley of Fear but I found it even more interesting in many ways even than the Hound of the Baskervilles.  It's a very different tale, half of which veers away from the hallowed inspector altogether and has Conan Doyle spinning the tale far and wide.


This series is a rip off...Some very good tunes interspersed between the relatively unknown ones. I would recommend that you obtain a list of the songs befor purchase!!


title: My daughter loved it!

text: It was a gift for my daughter. She loved it!


title: Great CD

text: I love these Al Stewart songs, also got another of his CDs.  Very happy


title: get it

text: This worked very well, like having a tour guide with you. Many stops that would have been missed otherwise were part of this cd tour.


title: HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!!

text: This music is exceptional.  I love piano and have found a new favorite in this CD.  I've been listening to New Age music for over 30 years and have many "favorites", but this is now "THE ONE".  Brian Crain is magic with the keyboard.  His playing reaches those emotional chords that words could never touch!  My CD is the import version which has an additional song.  If you love piano music, this should surpass anything you've heard.  I LOVE IT!


title: Five Stars

text: Great !


title: Great  Sound

text: Fantastic album from the boys from Perth.  Daughter told me about this group and they are Great.


title: Memory jogger!

text: I'm an old man, but certainly enjoyed the songs on this album. They bring back memories of my youth - just fun listening - and remembering.


title: A Voice in Heaven

text: This truly is one of Nana's best!  I have always found this lady to be a true gifted artist and on this CD she puts you in a special place.  You won't go wrong with this CD and I am sure you will feel the heavenly sensation she creates.


title: Good.

text: It’s great to learn


title: Not good

text: It was impossible to hear it. While I do not believe this is the fault of the seller I can not recommend this cd.


title: I own this CD

text: I love these songs, I wish it was available for MP3.


title: Elaine will lift your soul

text: You can not go wrong with this CD. Elaine has a voice so rich, you will want to listen more. She is also a very lovely person, she sings with her soul and her words are what she believes with all her heart. I know you will love her as much as I do. You will not regret this buy.


title: Classic recording

text: Beethoven being my favorite composer, and the EROICA is my favorite symphony of all time, by all classical composers.  This album is the reason why - I purchased as a young teen and played it over, and over and over and over!  I listened to it so often that my younger brother got to love it too, so long ago we wore out my record. I now have this recording (which is arguably my favorite recording of the symphony, certainly my favorite vintage recording of the symphony)  however, my brother still enjoys listening to records so I bought it for him as a Christmas gift.  He was delighted to get it and says it is in quite good condition.


title: WONDERFUL CD!

text: LOVE this CD....beautiful words that goes with worshiping the Lord! It's an amazing CD!


title: Five Stars

text: Great condition. Glad to get this rare album.


title: It was in great shape. So glad to get it

text: Thanks for this rare cassette. It was in great shape.So glad to get it!


title: Fit our table perfectly

text: This works great.  Fits our table perfectly as it should since it is a standard table slot size.


title: This one is very personal for me!!!

text: Fantastic recording on the organ in my church in San Diego.


title: Glad to have found it.

text: My favorite CD in the world!!


title: Five Stars

text: good program


title: This version has the best sound

text: This is not the pinnacle of the Stones output but it grows on you.  This review is more for the sound quality than the album itself. This is the version to get. Avoid at all costs the most recent UM remasters. They are extremely loud, compressed and distorted. The Virgin remasters are still the best and the price is definitely right.


title: H.P. Lovecraft takes a backseat for Orson Wells

text: If you are familiar with the story of "Dagon" then you would know it had nothing to do with a World wide attack by the Deep Ones or a prison break.  It was about one man monologuing his own suicide note.  He was unable to cope with what he has seen during the time he was lost at sea.  Because it is a relatively short story with one character making it into an hour long radio drama would be a daunting task.  So what Dark Adventure decided to do was make the story into a homage of Orson Wells " War of the Worlds."  This made the lone man's story secondary to a world wide attacks by the Deep Ones, a prison break, and a hostage situation.  The more the story went on the more it seemed like things were happening just for the sake of happening.  The finale was not that great either.  I don't think this program was horrible by any means.  It just felt like a bit of a letdown.


title: Great Album, especially love Gole Sangam

text: I grew up listening to Gole Sangam, the enormously popular Iranian song, as sung by the legendary Haideh.  Imagine my surprise years later to hear the familiar song at a bellydance performance. This rendition is excellent. It reinterprets with grace, style and respect.  Love the rest of this album, as well.


title: Had the cassette, miss this album

text: This album was with me in the cassette version for twenty years...That cassette is too beat up to play anymore. This is by far the best rock music praise album ever. The second would be by Stryper "To Hell with the Devil" but that is more of an 80"s hairband  sound. Petra, in this album doesn't sound dated. Wish I could play it again. MP3 version would work, but as I dropped my cell in the toilet recently, I'd rather have a "hard copy," Therefore, this is now on my wishlist.


title: It's Dire Straits!!!!!!

text: It's Dire Straits! If you're familiar with Dire Straits, you know that they don't write any bad songs. This title is no different. It's fantastic.


title: Great Double Disc

text: I went and saw this concert in Atlanta way back when. Not the show on the Discs, but this Festival Tour (Clash of the Titans). It was Faith No More, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer headlining. I was thrilled when when this Disc was released. Over the years it disappeared. Maybe it was stolen. Maybe I sold it when I was broke. Whatever happened, I really had to replace it. If your a Slayer Fan, you really need these Discs. It's hard to describe how perfect a live show this is. I had seen Slayer with Moterhead back on South of Heaven Tour, But this show was even better.

text: Great music. Nothing more I can say.  Listen to the sample sniplets on Amazon.


title: Fine Recordings...They are very old...

text:
This is my response to the vender that sold me these 78 records...

Just received the 78 records I ordered. They seem to be just fine and are okay to me. I listened to them and found a few scratches...not a big deal. They are very old recordings.  For what I paid...they are perfect... I know that when I get them professionally cleaned, the few scratches will go away. Most of them anyway. It is all good.

Although the album's front and back cover were not attached, which I new before hand, they were in good condition.  They will frame nicely and look good on the wall in my Tiki/Den room.

I am happy with the purchase I made.

Thanks,
TD Riggs

P.S.  Thank you for the free gift...Ferera's Hawaiian instrumental quartet. Everything you sent is great American history.  Do you have the album cover for the Ferera's album you sent? Just asking.


title: One of the Best of Sammy Davis

text:
Too me, this is one of Sammy Davis's best recordings. (Although, just about any of his early recordings, between 1956 & 1960 are great listening)  The song "Bee-Bom" is...Well, I have know idea what Bee-Bom means, but Sammy D. sings about how much He's thinking about Her...Bee-Bom, Bee-Bom, Bee-Bom...  The other tracks on the album are just as good. If you can find it on CD or as a Download, get it.  It is great music a new generation should get to know.

Funny thing though...I was born in 1961. I was a product of the 70's...Rock & Roll and Disco.  I did not find Sammy until his music was long forgotten in todays world. I am glad I discovered this entertainment master.


title: Old time recording. . .

text:
Wonderful item. Worth the price.  Great voice's. The songs are representative of an old "By Gone Era"  some 50, 60 & 70 years ago, when interpreting native music was the fashion.  If you know what I am talking about, you'll love the recordings on this record.

Marais & Miranda were a hot ticket in their time. This is just one of their recordings.


title: music at it's best

text: One of my all time favorite bands ever! This collection has all their music. Like ALL bands, some songs not so good, most good, others, FANTASTIC.  really worth owening.


title: Hornsby & Jazz

text: Great Hornsby, and different.


title: Since Sabbath never did a live album with Ozzy, THIS IS AS GOOD AS YOU CAN GET (and "Yes, it IS GREAT on top of that!!").

text: If you want a "true Black Sabbath live album", THIS IS IT!!!  Yes, it is of Ozzy and his band back then, but Sabbath never did one with Ozzy, so this is the next best thing you can get. (and it has extra tracks as well- something that wasn't on the original when it was first put out).


title: For all "Gothic- HELLA OFF TIME Death Metal/Grind Core fans"...

text: Meshuggah is a different type of metal (gothic-off time grind core), so if you are into "very off time", insanely heavy, death metal/grind core, then this album is a MUST!!
