title: Wow, this is truly terrible

**Review originally appeared at https://midnighttosix.wordpress.com/

It’s fitting that an album with such a strange and unwieldy title contains very strange and unwieldy music. Austin’s Keg Vultures play something resembling a mix of garage rock, American 1980s weirdo post-punk and Frank Zappa. Whenever Zappa’s an influence I tend to dislike what I hear, and The Keg Vultures are no different. The music on Bendy Straw… is haphazard and Paul Horsley’s vocals (where the Zappa influence is most apparent) are more artsy in-joke than actual singing. Also, if any of The New York Dolls are reading this, call your lawyers, because the beginning of “Thatcher Statue Decapitator” is a rip-off of “Looking For A Kiss”. In fact, hearing it made me take The Keg Vultures off my stereo, and replace it with the Dolls’ debut album – perhaps as a peace offering to my ears after the beating they’d just taken.

**Review originally appeared at https://midnighttosix.wordpress.com

Iceland has been a hotbed of alternative music in the last decade, and they haven’t been shy about trying to export it either. With Sigur Ros and Bjork generating significant sales the Made In Iceland compilation has come along to act as a musical guide for sampling some of the nation’s other rock bands. You might think that every band Iceland is a pixie-voiced post-rock act like Bjork, Sigur Ros or Mum, but like every other part of the world, there’s a plethora of musical styles to be found here. There’s Belle and Sebastian-esque indie-pop from Seabear, Hjaltalin and Bang Gang, club-diva pop from Steed Lord, T-Rex glam-stomp from Mugison, folky sounds from Emiliana Torrini and Olof Arnalds (who should not be confused with Olafur Arnalds, who also has a song on here), among other styles. And yes, there are quite a few post-rock numbers as well. The bands that stand out the most are Sigur Ros (doing “Inni Mer Syngur Vitleysingur” from the equally long-titled Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Syngium Endalaust album), Bang Gang, and FM Belfast whose Electro-pop song “Lotus” cheekily steals lyrics from Rage Against The Machine angst-anthem “Killing In The Name Of” and re-purposes them as harmless dancefloor fodder. Regardless of the genre, the unifying factor here is that most of these songs somehow evoke the cold-yet-devastatingly beautiful aspects of the country’s geography – this is music for National Geographic-style photo-spreads of glaciers and hot springs.

Colorado probably isn’t high on anyone’s list of states that were a fertile spawning ground for punk/underground bands in the late-1970s. However, the compilers of Rocky Mountain Low (sold as a double LP, with a bonus CD) have proved this idea wrong, coming up with thirty-one songs from bands in the Denver/Boulder area who responded to the rallying call of The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and other bands operating on the fringes of rock music. Without any attention from larger record labels, or even a local independent label to record for, there wasn’t a lot of archival material to remember these groups by, so many are represented by lo-fi recordings from practices, poorly recorded demos or sparsely attended live shows. Given the source material, the sound quality is rather poor throughout; which is OK because this album is more about documentation than it is about listening. As documentation it’s rather excellent, with extensive liner notes, band bios, and cool photos of all the major local players from the era. Musically, there’s not much to crow about. The Ravers (who the liner notes portray as the largest local band) come off the best, although that’s probably because they had a better quality recording than anybody else – it certainly isn’t for their pale NY Dolls imitation, “Goddess Of Love”. Most of these bands burned out after a few shows, and were never heard from again. The exception is Healers front-man Eric Boucher who packed up and went to San Fransisco and changed his name to Jello Biafra (there’s a great photo of him in the booklet hanging out with Joey Ramone, with Biafra sporting long hair, glasses and a beard). Consider Rocky Mountain Low as an American cousin to the UK Messthetics series – a good document of bad music.

**Review originally appeared at https://midnighttosix.wordpress.com

Birth Of The Scientists is a mighty strange name for this compilation, since it begins with the “This Is My Happy Hour”/”Swampland” single from 1982, four years into The Scientists’ career of recording and touring. If you’re expecting the earlier, more Dolls-inspired Scientists of songs like “Last Night”, “Frantic Romantic” or “Pissed On Another Planet” you won’t find them here. Misnamed it may be, but it’s still worth checking out for fans of psychotic garage-punk. The influence of The Stooges is pervasive throughout, but never more so than on “The Spin” which is pretty much a rewrite of “Fun House” (right down to the almost identical ending), with head Scientist Kim Salmon’s deranged musings layered on top. Even if they were heavily indebted to the Stooges at this point in their career – and that’s never a bad thing – The Scientists added their own sense of adventure and poetry to the music, which often garners them comparisons to contemporaries like The Gun Club and The Birthday Party, both of which are pretty valid. Listen closely and you can even hear a bit of the ol’ Cramps-y voodoo sprinkled into tracks like “Blood Red River” (which features more bass fuzz than should be legally allowed) and “Solid Gold Hell”. Were The Scientists as good as the bands they were compared with? Nah. Their songs weren’t as memorable. However, they weren’t far off either, and if you like those bands then there’s no reason why you won’t enjoy Birth Of The Scientists as well. There are thirteen studio tracks found here, all of which are strong, and eight live tracks which prove that the band sounded equally as demented and powerful on stage as they did in the studio, although these recordings were made on lo-fi cassette tapes so it isn’t likely that you’ll want to revisit them often. Alex Ogg’s liner notes are the perfect icing on the cake, giving a detailed history of the band from 1976 until their mid-2000s reformation.

**Review originally appeared at https://midnighttosix.wordpress.com

There’s no getting around it: Smallspace sound almost exactly like Radiohead. While some people may grunt and groan at the idea, Smallspace are far better than Radiohead copyists like Travis, Muse or Palo Alto. Their songs are interesting and enjoyable to listen to, regardless of who they sound like. Sure, the vocals sound just like Thom Yorke. Sure, they lift wholesale from Radiohead’s cutting-edge mix of electronica and rock. That’s just fine by me, because songs like “Put Down” and “For Days” are strong enough that I could probably pass them off to unsuspecting listeners as unreleased Radiohead songs. Even a song like “Right Here” where they sound too much like Radiohead (it’s “Everything In It’s Right Place” meets “Morning Bell”) it’s still good enough that you won’t hold it against them. In fact, it’s one of the best songs on the album.


title: Strange and chaotic album from the always-changing Mr. Bowie

text:
**Review originally appeared at https://midnighttosix.wordpress.com

When David Bowie released Station To Station in 1976 he was a certified rock superstar. He was also a cocaine-addicted burnout dabbling in occultism and, by many reports, living on a diet of peppers and milk. Clearly he was falling victim to the pressures of stardom and a demanding schedule. Station To Station is a reflection of that chaos – a mix of rock, decadent funk and disco, theatrical overtures, and krautrock-inspired minimalism. The opening title track (and album centerpiece) lasts no less than ten minutes, and introduces Bowie’s latest character, “The Thin White Duke”. “TVC15” and “Golden Years” are the pop songs; likable funk-rock fluff not terribly dissimilar to 1975’s funky mega-hit collaboration with John Lennon, “Fame”. “Stay” is weird disco schmaltz and “Wild Is The Wind” (a Johnny Mathis cover) and “Word On A Wing” are sentimental ballads. It’s an uneasy transitional point between the stylistic endpoints he reached with Young Americans’s disco-funk, and the Berlin Trilogy of art-rock albums that would begin the following year. However confused it sounds at times it’s also far more interesting than the sum of its parts.

The 2010 reissue gives you the remastering and liner notes (by Cameron Crowe) you expect, but also adds two new discs derived from an oft-bootlegged 1976 Nassau Collesium concert. Bowie and his touring band handle the Station To Station material well, but it’s hard for staunch fans of Ziggy-era Bowie to approve of the swishy disco arrangements given to classics like “Suffragette City”, “Queen Bitch” and his cover of “Waiting For The Man”. There’s also DVD-Audio version of the album for all you audiophiles.


title: Killer midwest rock from reformed '80s underground vets

**Review originally posted on [...]

The night before a reunion show has to be a nerve-wracking one, filled with sweaty palms, self-doubt and last minute attempts at remembering songs you haven’t played in years. It definitely doesn’t seem like a great time to record an album, but that’s exactly what Cleveland’s Death of Samantha did with If Memory Serves Us Well, laying down eighteen songs from their 1984-1990 back catalogue at a band rehearsal the night before a reunion gig in 2011 – their first show in almost two decades. If the idea of a reunited band releasing a rehearsal recording has you picturing If Memory Serves Us Well as a poorly recorded collection sloppy performances, you couldn’t be further from the truth. In the interest of full disclosure I should mention that I’ve never heard any of these songs in their originally recorded form, so I can’t compare these versions to the originals, but I can, however, tell you that these songs smoke. The band are firmly rooted in the tradition of adventurous Midwestern bands like The Stooges and Pere Ubu, but with their own unique sense of poetry and passion. I can imagine them playing bills with similar-styled contemporaries like The Gun Club, Leaving Trains or The Dream Syndicate and easily holding their own. Everything that the band does is great, but I’m most impressed with the guitar interplay of singer John Petkovic  and Doug Gillard (both of whom would go on to play with Cobra Verde and Guided By Voices, among others) which is part Keith Richards/Ron Wood drunk bob ‘n’ weave, and part Verlaine/Lloyd’s highly refined cosmic explorations. Liner notes by mega-fans, and people who know their s***, Thurston Moore, Mark Lanegan, Robert Pollard and Byron Coley are just icing on the cake. Now if someone would only reissue the band’s back catalogue…


While I have not heard this version, I have this 2 CD set from the book "Live In Japan" from Genesis Publications.  The performance was as close as we'd get to what The Beatles would have sounded like in concert, at least until some of Paul McCartney's recent shows.  Harrison, basically playing with Eric Clapton and his band, seemed to overcome his usual reluctance to be on stage, and the guitars and vocals all blended nicely, much better than his brief tour of the US in 1974.  If I have any issue with this release it is the price, which is way high even if a lot of documentary text and photos are included.


title: A true gem and a great testament to the NY loft scene.

text: It is tempting to dwell in the fact that I attended all of these shows. I was deeply entrenched in the music that was happening, especially at  Rivbea. While these discs offer samples and not complete sets ( though some, like Roscoe Mitchell’s are complete), you can get a sense of the full spectrum of what was going on. The best introduction to Loft Jazz available.


title: Don't bother

text: First of all, this is ONE CD, not 3 as mentioned in the other review. Second, it is not very good at all. The raw soundboard recording sounds weak, flat, uninspired. The final recording, as documented in Let It Be, must have been heavily 'doctored' to sound so good. Don't waste your money on this. It adds nothing to Let It Be.


title: Great, professionally pressed bootlegs

text: I really enjoy this 4 CD set. It consists of 3 live concert recordings by various Miles Davis groups. The 1988 concert is quite well-recorded, and could have easily been released as a official release (but hasn't been). The 1988 concert gives a panoramic view of late Miles live concerts, and I find it highly enjoyable. The 10/15/70 recording isn't as well recorded, but the sound is OK for a bootleg. I especially love hearing Keith Jarrett's wild, funky, bluesy-yet-abstract improvisations on electric organ and electric piano (simultaneously). I think that Keith's playing with Miles was among the best he has ever done, even though Jarrett himself is quick to deprecate his work with Miles (for reasons only he understands). And the 8/18/70 concert bootleg, which features both Jarrett and Chick Corea on keyboards, is a marvel of concision and emotional directness. It's a great concert. So, if you're a Davis completist, you should enjoy this set.


title: Not for everyone but it's for folks like me...three and a half stars if you did bluegrass music, two stars if you like Take That

text:
I am a major fan of the late Clarence White's acoustic lead guitar work in the bluegrass field and I have all the respect in the world for Tut Taylor. The reason this release only gets three stars is I have to say it is not for everyone. There are quite a few songs on this recording and it was never meant to be an album as such. It was merely an exercise in Tut picking with his old chum Clarence. Hence many of the songs are about half or even a third of the length of what most listeners would consider the normal time of a pop song.

These tunes are melodic exercises and not "songs" in the accepted sense of the word. It is two guys picking in the parlour, there is no bass, banjo, mandolin, tuba, electric guitar, harmonica, string section or anything else making an appearance. So I reckon this release, as fine as it is in its own sweet way, is best seen as a showcase for two veterans of the acoustic music world and not as an album proper. For dobro pickers and bluegrass guitar freaks out there, yes sir, you want to own this, but for the majority of the folks out there in TV land...this is above you all and you should turn off those stupid talent contests and vapid comedies and learn something about the invisible but still present culture still around you.


title: Great CD

text: Excellent seller.  The item was as described.


title: It was my turn

text: This is the worse put together piece of garbage I've ever bought from Amazon, after all these years I suppose it was my turn to get "ripped".  Heard of b-sides?  Half of these were d-sides from artists I've never heard of, and unless you enjoy typing in the correct songs to be ripped, don't even bother with this one.


title: Four Stars

text: Very good covers of 1967 rock tunes.


title: Awesome krautrock

text: Uberfallig is a forgotten krautrock masterpiece with waves/multi layers of echo guitar, a beautiful accoustic number & very tasteful & atmospheric sampled sounds. There seems to be this misconception that krautrock only lasted late 60's-mid 70's and this is completely incorrect as this album came out in '79 and bands like Cluster actually peaked from '76-till almost mid '80's albeit as themselves or in different disguises. If you love to listen to music at its most beguiling, experimental and dream like you need to listen to this album.


Never would have guess LS would be mastered in surround. If you are a longtime or casual fan you will enjoy this.


title: The most exciting!

text: This album is filled with great stories that evoke the beautiful landscape and personality of the eastern mountains as well as the spirit those who call it home. The musicanship and quality of production are first rate! Check out all their<br />titles.

title: AUSTRIAN MADE WILL NOT PLAY IN A STANDARD U.S. PLAYER

text: Sad to say this product while packaged wonderfully, does not play in my CD player. The other 800 CD's I have play just fine. It did however play through my computer so I won't send it back, but disappointing nonetheless. The album itself is 5 star as I have both on vinyl.


title: PRODUCTION IS A LITTLE MUSHY

text: 5 STARS for the artist and songs. But, an overall 3 stars simply because the production is weak and mushy. When you compare this to other Cash recordings from the same era released by Sony/Legacy you hear a big difference.


title: A find for Johnny fans

text: Johnny Rivers fans should enjoy this.  He's sung just about every kind of song in every kind of genre, but Johnny rocks religion was a new one for me.  I like Johnny doing anything, so I'm not surprised I liked it.  Some songs were original secular songs with a word or two changed to turn it into ones with a religious theme (Reach Out, How Sweet It Is, Stand By Me), but I actually enjoyed the others better.  I'm waiting for Johnny does rap.

title: What a Major Disappointment

text:
As someone who has been a Willie Nile fan since the release of his first album, I anxiously look forward to hearing anything he puts out.His last two releases have been excellent and probably some of his best work ever.

Live at the Turning Point is something else entirely.  Its a poorly recorded, amateurish release that no one except completists should shell out $15 or more for.  I was stunned when I listened to this by the awful sound.  Its as if someone with a 1970's tape recorder and a single microphone walked into the club and placed it on a table in front of the band and hit 'play'.  The percussion sound (are those drums or garbage cans the guy is hitting?) is hideous, the between song banter often obscured by crowd noise, and the performance itself just fair.  I've seen Willie many times, including 3 times last year at SXSW and any of those shows were far better than this allegedly 'legendary' performance.

I don't like when artists do large amounts of overdubs to make live albums sound better, but when the other end of the spectrum is just to release something 'as is' with no effort made at all to make the listening experience more enjoyable, its even worse.  Willie should be ashamed of himself for letting something like this get released.  Its an insult to his fans and a complete rip off.

I am relatively confident that fans could source better live shows from the 'Streets of New York' shows on the internet without having to pay good money.  I am all for supporting artists, especially ones who are as woefully overlooked as Willie Nile, but even that has its limits, and 'Live at the Turning Point' is not worth buying.


title: Not disappointed

text: At this point, if you’re buying a newly released Hendrix CD, you’d expect that the producers are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Not so with this Hendrix CD. It songs very good. Sure, it’s not an album of fully crafted songs, but interesting, nonetheless.


title: Typical bootleg recording

text: Less than good quality recording. Only gave it 3 stars because it’s Blind Faith.


title: 100 dollars for half a concert? What have you been smoking?

text: One set for $100? Must be Phish gold. Or goldfish.


title: A Fresh Spin On Some Timeless Classics

text: Don't think Rod Stewart has ever walked away from taking chances. Some of his best work resulted in that. Sure there were some lemons along the way but this is not one of them! A plethora of his best hits along with a new one and in more than a few instances new arrangements all backed up with full orchestra. It's familiar but unique and puts a fresh spin on some timeless classics! Cheers, Rod! Well done!


title: Nothing like the first volume, sound is substandard.

text: Disappointed with sound quality. Maybe a bootleg, sounds as if it were recorded from a vinyl album.


title: Everything he touches should be GOLD!

text: In a world where the proof is on the turntables that, indeed, white men CAN sing soul [i.e. Rod Stewart, Phil Collins, Michael McDonald], there is one and only one man standing head and shoulders above all the rest! The performance captured on this disc showcases some of his greatest milestones in his fantastic catalogue. Sadly underrated but highly loved by his fans, most people will not immediately recognize his name but mention "How Long" by Ace or "Tempted" by Squeeze and you might hear..."Oh I love that song!" yet few but his fans will know it's the voice of Paul Carrack delivering the vocals. Not too many can cover a Marvin Gaye tune and switch to a David Ruffin or Van Morrison cover in the same set. Paul does so without missing a note! You'll have to purchase Paul's "Still Groovin'" collection to experience those tracks but there's plenty of real treasures yet to be found right here..."The Living Years" which Paul propelled Mike and The Mechanics to the peak of the charts with, "I Don't Want To Hear Any More" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive" both monster hits Paul penned for The Eagles, the later of which serves as a stunning duet to highlight the amazing vocal talent of Ms. Lindsay Dracass who's been Paul's long time back up vocalist on stage and in the studio. There's Paul's journey into the Reggae genre with the bouncing ditty, "Just For Tonight" and some soulful tunes Paul wrote himself..."Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City" and "If I Didn't Love You" which you could swear must have come right out of Memphis or Motown! If you want to hear "blue-eyed soul" done right, you'll want to hear Paul Carrack.

title: One of the best songs omitted - what was he thinking?

text:
EMERGING, by the Phil Keaggy band, is basically Keaggy's third solo album. It stands up fairly well among his other early albums, even though it doesn't contain any of his best-known songs.

The main problem with the sole (and now very rare) CD reissue called RE-EMERGING is the unexplained omission of the final track, "Gentle Eyes," which was easily the second best song on the original LP. (The best was definitely "Struck By The Love," written and sung by keyboardist Phil Madeira rather than Keaggy.) Why was this song omitted, while some lesser tracks (like the lyrically unfortunate "Sorry") remain?  I've heard something about "licensing issues" being involved, but one would think these should have been resolved before the CD was released. The worst part is that the omission seems to have been glossed over, as if listeners were somehow not supposed to notice it.

There are four bonus tracks, newly recorded by the temporarily reunited band. Each of these gives a lead vocal spotlight to one of the band members, including the two who didn't sing at all on the original album, but oddly excluding Lynn Nichols (guitar & backing vocals).

"My Auburn Lady" has Keaggy celebrating his wife, and her hair color. Cute but inessential.

"Mighty Lord" is by Phil Madeira, and has sort of a Billy Preston vibe. Besides being the best song among the bonus tracks, it's also the most "valid" in that it was intended for the original LP (but left off because the record company didn't want there to be too many non-Keaggy songs).

Drummer Terry Anderson co-writes "You're My Hero" and gives it a shaky but sincere "Ringo" vocal (as Keaggy calls it).

Bassist Dan Cunningham sings the countrified cover tune "Amelea Earhart's Last Flight." He's not a great singer but the song suits him perfectly.

If you're a Keaggy fan and can find this CD for anything like a reasonable price, go for it. But see if you can get "Gentle Eyes" put to digital form as well.

title: Avoid at all costs

text: The CD contains far inferior re-recordings by the band of the original songs. Moreover, the CD cover misleads the buyer into thinking they are getting the original material.


title: Decca Audition Tapes 1962 - Listen to them in Context

text:
Context. Look at this in context.

These are the recordings that were turned down by every major recording company in England. Every one of them. Bar none. It was just interesting enough for George Martin, A & R man for the comedy label Parlaphone, to give the band another audition in the Abbey Road studios. Not to sign them on the strength of this recording. Just enough to give them another audition.

Nobody knew what they were going to become, least of all the Beatles themselves. The recording is mediocre, the drumming stale. Yep, sure is. You were expecting Sgt. Pepper? Get a grip.

The sound of these, which probably came from an acetate, is quite good, all things considered.  First, they were all recorded and mixed in one day.  Second, that day was January 1, 1962, and the boys had partied the night before after a long drive from Liverpool and were feeling a might worse for the wear.  Third, their drummer was average at Best - pun intended.  Still, there is some energy to some of the songs, although many sound absolutely flat.  Listening to the earliest Lennon-McCartney songs are a blast, and you can see their growth from here (1/1/62) to their June 6 session at Abbey Road with George Martin, both playing and writing.

This CD is an artifact and a pleasure to add to my collection.  Recommended for historical purposes.  Three stars.

Although the time it took from Japan to me was about a week longer than other purchases from other vendors in Japan, the YES 90125 CD was perfect!  The sound was crisp, clear and the vocals were superb!


title: What could be better?

text: Playing this album reminds me what rock is all about!  Ballads, Hard Driving Rock and some old time rock and roll!  What could be better?


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome!


title: good package

text: i would say that every song that the eagles recorded that i liked was somewhere in this package. i wasn't a fan until later in life but i really enjoyed this greatest hits album and their last studio album.

text: Perfect.


title: Girls just wanna have fun

text: I have ordered this DVD just on the assumption of the brilliant Samantha Fish.....Girls please don't let me down.<br />I know you wont because you are all extremely talented!


Any fan of progressive music will enjoy this. An added bonus is having John Williams adding his classical guitar to this music.


title: did they really change?

text: This album has changed in musical production. But this is true Mumford and Sons material. The lyrics and the emotion of each song is still them, and beautifully expressed. I listen to a lot of music for over 70 years, and I can't think of any group that has lasted, that has not changed style at least once. Musicians grow and age like everyone else, and we should all realize that if they were to stay with one style forever, they would get bored out of their minds That's why groups often break up or lose players. As they grow, we should expect them to branch out in style with time. Doesn't mean the current style will be around any longer than their first four albums. The most important part of musicianship is them trying to communicate lyrics and emotions that they feel, in a way that their listeners can enjoy it. But each album is a risk on their part, without which the listeners would also not know what to expect and what to look forward to. Bob Dylan is probably a great example: some of his listeners were outraged when he went "electric", but no one can deny how brilliant his songs have remained over the years, regardless of his style. So, my recommendation is to allow yourself to "hear" the message and "feel" the emotion of all the songs on this album and you will find they are still true to their word.


title: UK!!! UK!!! UK!!!

text: Finally, an extended version of this concert. Back in the year (1980) I always thought this album should have been a double LP. Interesting versions of the first UK album tracks done as a three piece. Still pulled it off without a guitarist. I'm curious if there are any overdubs in the recordings. Great sound overall, the Blu-ray is a nice addition but I wish they would added some promo videos from that time.


title: Best Iron Butterfly

text: Well, back in the day I wore this album out. Each song is unique. Listening to Butterfly Blue in an old house at night with friends was the first time I heard a guitar actually talk. Easy rider, Stone believer, Best years of our Life, are still great songs today. Very underrated album!


title: Excelente

text: Un excelente canta autor.si te. Gusta RobertoCarlos lo recomiendo mas romántico y melodioso en mi opinión. El paquete llegó a tiempo y en excelente condición yo recomiendo a este vendedor.

text: The Best Ever!!!


title: Available At Shows For $20.00

text: Great live set from Unknown Hinson.  Live is where his guitar work really shines!  This CD is not out of print just purchased last night at UH show for twenty bucks and probably available at his web site store as well.


title: Great Set!

text:
Wow. What a great set by Mr T and company...all legendary players.

These guys were not "spring chickens" when this was recorded, but you would think they were.

Everyone's firing on all 8 cylinders here. As good as it gets!

If you see this cd...buy it.


title: Instant Classic!

text: "Reign of Glory" has made a 5 Star A+ Instant Classic... every track is superbly crafted, the musicianship is stellar, the singing of Robyn Kyle Basauri is as powerful as it was 30 years ago... maybe, even more... the bass of Roger Dale Martin is thumping and moving the tunes, the guitar of Nick Layton is creative and crushing, and the drums of Jim Chaffin are thunderous and propel the songs into high gear. This album is a must have. Buy it, now.

title: Elton John's album with his first big hit, Rocket Man.

text: I have been an Elton John fan for many years.  I believe I have all of his studio albums. Honky Chateau was the first Elton John album with a  huge hit, Rocket Man. I like the early Elton John albums when Paul Buckmaster did the orchestrations.


title: One OF Arthur Lee's Finest Moments

text:
I bought the expanded / remastered version of this C.D. a couple of years ago.  It contains extensive liner notes (which I still have not read).  I wanted to write this review before I read the liner notes so I would not be biased or influenced in my own comments toward the album.

Forever Changes (January 1968) is truly one of the unique, hidden gems of the late sixties by one of rock music's first racially integrated bands.  I was first exposed to the album in 1969 when my older brother used to play his copy on eight-track tape!  Love's previous album from 1967, Da Capo, was lighter and more "trippy," and in keeping with other music from the "summer of love" year. Check out such tracks as 7 And 7 Is, Orange Skies and She Comes In Colors.  However, while Da Capo was a great album, Forever Changes is OUTSTANDING!  It resulted in Arthur Lee's finest musical and lyrical moments.  Even today you can hear the song, Alone Again Or, played on satellite stations in malls across America (although Alone Again Or was written by Love's other vocalist and songwriter, Bryan MacLean who wrote two tracks on the album).

Forever Changes is a "deep" and moody album with esoteric, surreal and socially conscious lyrics which cannot be thoroughly understood.  Even some of the song titles have a surreal quality to them.  Some of the topics expressed in the lyrics include war, materialism, territoriality, alienation, loss of individuality and identity, personal freedom, sage wisdom and yes, even love (no pun intended)!  Vivid lyrical imagery permeates all the songs.

Musically, the album is a melange of psychedelic folk-rock, classical forms and even a tinge of jazz.  The melodies are hauntingly and wistfully beautiful with both acoustic and electric guitars as well as complex rhythms at times.  In fact, the fade-ins and fade-outs and production effects at the end of "The Good Humour Man He Sees Everything Like This" sound like there are "skips" in the music! The strings and horns add to the haunting quality of the album.  This is a great album to listen to on rainy, summer days!

This album rates with some of the finest albums of the day, including Sgt. Pepper's..., Pet Sounds, Days Of Future Passed and Odessey And Oracle.  If you haven't heard this album you have missed out on a significant slice of pop culture!


title: What Memories!

text: This possibly limited pressing of great classics by the Ronettes is well worth getting for your collection. Today's music came from this sound. This is timeless.


title: Now that's more like it!

text:
I bought this in a bargain bin in the mid 70s just to hear what it sounded like. What I found was a respectable collection of very mainstream sounding short tunes surely destined to be pop hits, that is, if they ever got airplay. I would describe them as timeless, not too fast, not too slow, rock tunes right in the middle of the road, between extremes. The words are wholesome and friendly, with the exception of 'I Hate You'.
It has musical balance and pleases listeners with well- rounded tastes, and suitable to any mood. The release date in 1973, the heydey of glam rock, which he aptly portrayes on the jacket photo. The inner sleeve provided a synopsis of each tune, giving the background of each and creditng the players, who did a top-notch job.
The reason I titled this review as I did, was because I also bought his earlier lp 'Outrageous' around the same time. I would never guess this was the same man, a real 'Jeckyl and Hyde' contrast!


title: WOW! Some of the best christmas music you will hear!

text: All of Carman's music is brilliant, and this is no exception! As usual, he combines all music styles which he does with equal flair. He sings with passion, and tells the gospel story as no one can. This is a mix of old carols (We 3 Kings) and originals. He uses top-notch back-up singers and players, and does a great Elvis imitation. This will make you want to get up and dance as well as worship. Add this to your collection.


title: Calling All Believers!

text:
The music on this lp is a rock opera written by Russian christian Valeri Barinov, of the band Trumpet Call. It is performed by british musicians The Dave Markee Band. Just by listening to this music, you can tell the writer is living in a corrupt society in darkness. Bold and dramatic, these songs exhort you to heed the call, and hearken to the message of the soon return of Jesus.
The 3rd track 'You Killed Him' brings out the point of mankind's guilty charge of bringing God's wrath on the earth in this apocolyptic scenario. Complete with raspy vocals and special effects, singer John Perry agonizes his way thru this dirge-like lament.
The tempo picks up in 'Golgotha' which is a depiction of Christ's shedding of His blood on the Cross. The opera ends on a positive note with the tune 'He Is Coming', heralding His return.
I found this to be one of the most remarkable concept albums I have ever heard. It is unfortunate it is not avialble on cd to my knowledge, but the original artist may have it out there somewhere.
I recently read both "Jailhouse Rock", Valeri's autobiography of his life in Leningrad Russia, and the bio of him by Lorna Bourdeaux, both obtainable here on amazon.


title: Grooves Aflame!

text: This is certainly a must for all you who appreciate this last of the great genuine 'garage' bands that not only outgrew their garage, but inspired many other aspiring rockers to do the same.


title: One of the First Power Trios

text:
I can still recall heaing this song on our local top 40 am station back in '68 when I was all of 13. For years I wondered who these guys were and what became of them. Now, thanks to amazon and wikipedia, I have an idea.
A friend showed me a Life Magazine article of this band and I counld not help but feel a little envious, since they were my age, and I an aspiring drummer.
Sadly, they did not hit it big, but Hi Hi Hazel still plays in my mind after all these decades! I aplaud your efforts Gary and await a reunion.


title: Let us hear MORE!

text: This is a Swedish couple who really rock but did not make a big splash on this side of the ocean. I found it not too extreme stylewise, not too loud or funky, but right in the middle, with great lyrics packed with meaning and without accents. It is dated 1991, so they are fresh out the 80s pizazz,  and fit right into 90s modification. Very danceable with a mainstream sound.


title: This will make you want to live forever!

text: I saw Mylon in concert twice, once in 1982 in PA and again in 1985 at a 4 day fest in Kitchener, Ontario. I must say I loved both concerts, they are one of the best christian bands you will ever see live. What thrilled me was not just the music, but Mylon would give a long testimony about his rise to fame in the music world, but then how Jesus changed his life. I could listen to him for hours! Both his hard rockin' tunes and mellower acoustic tunes ministered to me. I love all the tracks on this lp, it really captures a typical Broken Heart concert. He does it all, a funky bluesy rock mixture with a southern twang!<br />EVen if this is only available on vinyl or tape, grab it, your spirit will soar from this annointed concert.


title: The Russians are Coming

text: I found this in a bargain bin back in the 90s. I have been a longtime fan of Soviet and east European rock, so I was plased to be lucky to come across this fine specimen of post communist era new wave rock from Leningrad. It is all in Russian, but the vocals have a strong resemblance to the singer in Sisters Of Mercy. I applaud the efforts of this band amid the oppression of free expressionin soviet society.<br />The musicianship on this is not real top notch, but they do well with what they have. The quality is good and it is obvious they use a drum machine. This band can also be heard on the 2 lp compilation 'Red Wave' which feataures Kino and 3 other Russian bands from 1986. The other reviews of this cd are very helpful and Kino are on wikipedia.org for those who want to know more.


title: No crisis here!

text: Just wanted to say that even though I am not familiar with any of these artists, I found it a delightful mix of dance and tachno-pop tunes that will perk up your soul as well as the environment! I managed to pick up a used in-store copy of this back in the mid-90s minus the insert. I would love more info on these artists but I am sure there is not much available.<br />Europe is where these bands are sorely needed right now, seeing there are in a deep economic and spiritual crisis.


title: A Milestone in Christian Progressive!

text:
A friend who worked with a christian lp distributor in 1980 turned meon to this record, and we have both been fans ever since. It is apparently very well researched and put together, not to mention ahead of it's time. The bagpipes in the title track 'Warrior' gives it a heavily celtic flavor. It is a very worshipful as well as anthemic song lifting the listener to a high level in the spirit, backed by solid guitar riffs and kemper Crabb's strong lead vocals.
Most notable is the track depicting the ark of Noah, sound effects and all, cleverly using it as a metaphor of Christ, saving us from coming destruction, exhorting the listener to 'get on board today'. The lp concludes with 'To a Sleeping Infidel', another exhortation warning an unbeliever not to take the mark of anti-christ.
I would describe this as no less than brilliant, perfect for the prog fan looking for music that is edifying as well as entertaining. Will be recognized for years to come.

text: Heard one song on the Beeb from London, so decided to buy it.  Was in the trash can right after the first hearing.  Avoid.


title: very smooth

text: got here on time.great shape..plenty good listening ahead


title: Buy It Now

text: It would have been better had this been released as individual CDs, as the Eli and the 13th Confession CD is not a true mono mix, but a "fold-down" mix, which is putting the right and left channels into one. Be that as it may, you'll never hear a better version of her first album. It is both warmer and more powerful than the stereo version and, as the liner notes explain, it is absent the reverb added to the songs when Columbia released them as The First Songs. My only complaint about the first disk is that they should have included both sides of her first single, as they were both from a different recording session than the album versions. If you don't have any Laura Nyro albums, then this would be an excellent place to start. She seamlessly mixed various genres into individual songs. On this collection, one can trace her evolution from a Tin Pan Alley-ish hit songwriter, with strong Broadway overtones, to the hippie soul music of side two of her second album. The inclusion of the single version of "Save The Country" is superfluous, as this is the third CD I have it on. Do not hesitate in purchasing this, as her CDs are known to be discontinued after the first and only printing, and you'll have to pay a much higher price later on


title: I hear you call it civilization...it's a jungle out there!

text: the true story is that passport records would only dish out enough money for an EP when 3dn fished around for sponsors of this work.  five 3-minute tunes is all they would pay for.  then, passport refused to promote it or push for radio play, so it's a jungle hit the bargain bins about a month after its release.....and it's a damn shame because it's a SURPRISINGLY GOOD piece of music from this group....especially when compared to the last two albums they did before their turbulent break-up in '76.  'coming down your way' and 'American pastime' were both desperate attempts to rekindle their floundering popularity...and both albums failed miserably because they were bad.  this 1983 comeback attempt was a much better work that was never given a fair chance to succeed.  3dn tried to maintain some of their classic sound while updating to stay current....and they accomplished the goal admirably.  cory wells sings the title tune with a bit of a reggae feel, and it's a great song!  danny hutton sings a nice tune called 'shot in the dark', cory sings 'I can't help it' & chuck Negron sings 'somebody's gonna get hurt'....all 3 songs are good rocking tunes that balance a 3dn sound with the contemporary rock of the time.....trying to get a bit of a feel of groups like foreigner and journey.  then, there's the lighter pop, almost 'lounge singer' tune, 'living it up'.....my least favorite song on the disc, but it curiously works well with the rest of the EP, led by chuck's strong, fantastic voice.  the supporting band includes their original keyboardist jimmy greenspoon, (and as I recall, they had) their original drummer Floyd sneed. then, they had a keyboardist who joined them in '74, skip conte.....and members of their final, closing band in the mid-70s, just before they folded up......guitarist Al Ciner and dennis belfield on bass.  Al even kicks out some impressive early-80s guitar and even a few good solos.  this really is a surprisingly good and surprisingly rocking EP!  as a fan of 3dn's more rocking side, I admit I was intrigued by their ability to blend their classic sound with '80s rock!  it's a great comeback attempt that just wasn't given a fair chance!<br />I would still love to see this come out on cd, but under the circumstances, I doubt it will happen.

title: Masterful 60's Sunshine Pop

text: 60's pop genius. I bought the cd because I love 'Along Come Mary'. The cd is amazing. I've been playing it over and over. It is SO good. The music and lyrics are so clever and catchy. A beautiful slice of 60's sunshine pop.


title: Love it. Thanks

text: I would recommend this CD to anyone.very awesome gospel praise and worship CD.


title: Slayer meets Kreator metal!

text: I've never heard of these guys until i saw the album cover and heard some samples on mp3. In conclusion, these bastards rock out in Slayer meets Kreator style. The riffs are awesome and catchy so you metalheads won't be disappointed when you spill hot coffee all over your nuts as you drive and have a surreal reflection listening to the lyrics on the tragedies and atrocities of war. Or at the very least, you headbang to the metal until you bleed internally and lose conciousness. This album rocks!!!


title: End of Bond, Start of Brown

text: The Pete Brown part of this collaboration works well; the Graham Bond part only occasionally lives up to the peaks of his career.  Brown, primarily famous for providing lyrics to Jack Bruce's tunes, creates strong images and sings in an idiosyncratically pleasing baritone.  The music (Bond's realm) is more scattershot, seemingly made up on the moment with whomever and whatever was at hand.  An interesting artifact for completists.  Bonus tracks are interesting from a historical perspective, but not essential.


title: Wonderful versions of Dylan classics!

text: Mouse and the Traps were a mid- sixties garage band from Tyler, Texas. Like many groups of the day a band's sound would be influenced by Dylan or the Beatles yada yada. Fifty years on Mouse and the Traps released this tribute to the songs of Bob Dylan. Mouse's weathered voice and delivery backed with the band' s spirited playing capture the essence of some of Dylan's classic work!


title: Well worth tracking down

text:
Back in the day, this style of music used to be called "Death Rock", a subcategory of Goth defined by a big distorted guitar sound with no synths added to the mix. Albums like "Only Theater of Pain" and "Atrocites" by Christian Death and "Crocosmia" by Mephisto Walz were excellent examples of this style. If you take the style of these albums and cross it with some of the later releases by This Ascension, i.e. "Walk Softly a Dream Lies Here" and "Sever" it will give you a pretty good idea of how this album sounds.

Like Dru from This Ascension, Lisa Hammer's voice is operatic and absolutely beautiful. The musicianship behind Requiem in White was also incredibly impressive. These songs never get boring. Most of the 12 songs fall into the straight forward Death Rock style, although "Beneath the Leaves" and "CF" take a dramatic turn towards a more delicate ethereal style.

I have only one complaint about this album and its quite small. The recording quality could have been a bit better and the vocals are buried a bit low in the mix. I probably wouldn't have noticed this were it not for the fact that I have their "Prides Unhappy End" demo which was perfectly mixed and showcased the band at their finest.

Although RIW was around for ten years, their catalog is quite small. Three demos and one 12". This is the only CD they released and as you're probably aware by now, all of their releases are quite hard to find. The guitarist and vocalist went on to form Mors Syphilitica while the drummer and bassist formed Judith. Both bands are well worth checking out, but RIW remains my favorite.


title: A refreshing change

text: I agree, the album cover must be uploaded because it defines this band's cheesy, tongue in cheek approach to 90's German darkwave.  The vocals are reminiscent of a more toned down and coherent Andi Sex Gang with a bad  accent.  Two of the best songs on this album are "Bombed the  World" (a majestically frantic and hilariously spiteful piece) and  "Evil Dance" (which in a roundabout way mocks darkwave dance in  its more than true to form electro-medieval style, silly lyrics and  overbearing drum machine).  I really appreciated the nod to Fad Gadget on  the cover of "Ad Nauseum", a very danceable yet admirable  representation of the spooky, original classic.  The two drawbacks to this  album being the outrageous import price and the plodding, less  intentionally humorous approach to the last half of the album.  On the  positive side the music is fairly creative and experimental in style.  Unfortunately, the worst aspect of darkwave (poor electronic renditions of  medieval music while trying to be authentic) is presented without any irony  and though melodious, these last few songs drag on and on.  Oh well, if you  like this check out "Romantic Death", an equally silly album but  with a more "goth filled with helium" guitar oriented sound.

title: A stunning, adventurous album of works

text: This is an excellent, groundbreaking work with virtuosic performances.  Stuart Saunders Smith is an adventurous, imaginative composer whose name should be on the lips of everyone who takes contemporary classical music seriously.


title: I cannot recommend this disc enough

text: I cannot recommend this disc enough. You got Chris Pinnick of Chicago fame and Chet McCracken of Doobie Brothers fame in complete synergy with one another. A fabulous disc all around.


title: not as bad as some say

text: the last tracks are something totally different,but the first 8 are from attila.which to me,sound sort of like an angry e.l.p.theres some little hints of the future billy joel's style,but mostly it'll surprise folks who know his long solo career.pretty aggressive,jacked up keyboards.

title: The Girls Tear it Up on This One. Great Concert!

text: Ok so one person complained that this DVD-CD combo was expensive.  I personally think it is worth every penny.  Huge fan of all these girls individually too.  That said it is very well recorded and the video quality is top notch for not being a Bluray.  These girls hold a back seat to no one when it comes to playing good old fashioned Blues rock.  This is such a fun DVD to actually see and hear this extraordinary band.  If you're a home theatre concert geek like me, buy this before it goes out of print.  If you are a Joanne Shaw Taylor fan and Ana P. fan this is an automatic.  Love it.  Thank you Blues Caravan.

title: SOUL.....GOOD

text: The Mandala were a band out of Toronto,Canada.Formerly,The Five Rogues,George Olliver,Dom Troiano,Don Elliot,Joey Chiroski and Whitey Glann formed the Mandala in 1966.Their live shows thrilled their audiences and soon Mandala had a huge following.A couple of single records charted and soon a tour of the U.S took place and venues such as the Whiskey A Go Go sold out as the Mandala laid down some dynamic performances....However the promotion and money to support the group never happened and the lead singer George Olliver and keyboardist Joey Chiroski left before the Soul Crusade Album was completed.The vocals were taken over by Roy Kenner and Huey Sullivan provided keyboards for the finished release.Soul Crusade is a fine record and a single,Loveitis,was released along with great tracks such as One Short Year,World of Love and Faith.Very strong musicianship leaves me wondering what could have been as the album charted,and then without promotion fell into the delete bins.The Mandala disbanded after three years of roadwork and hard sweat went for not....For years the Mandala's Soul Crusade album was a collector's item and now it has finally resurfaced in cd form.The Soul Crusade is back,give it a listen and you will quickliy become a follower.As for the late Mandala guitarist,Dom Troiano,thanks for the soul and memories of those great "live" shows.


title: Folks, don't buy this here...

text:
... Not unless the Dead themselves make it available here at some point. These stealthy shows (due to having been banned from Hampton after the previous year) are two of the greatest shows the GD ever played, certainly two of the very best latter-day shows (especially true of the magical 10/9 show), but you can order this at the Dead's own site for HALF the price currently showing here. Spend $140 to buy from a 3rd party dealer, or buy directly from GD Merchandising for $70. Up to you!

Even $70 seems excessive for six CDs, but it's probably worth it given the quality of the shows, the incredible sound quality (beyond even the fine bootlegs that have circulated from the start), and the nifty packaging. Just save yourself another $70 and buy it direct from the band.


title: Imagine... The Perfect Collection!

text:
This was a VERY limited edition release in 1990, and I snagged my copy right when it came out. Good thing I did, because it disappeared in a hurry and as far as I can tell it's never been reissued. Get this one, and at this time there are some pretty reasonable used prices here, and it's the only John Lennon collection you will ever need.

Here's all you need to know: 63 tracks on four CDs. All the hits, plus lots of great album tracks and some non-album songs too. Plus, you get some live treats from the 1969 Toronto Peace Festival AND John's final live performance, with Elton John at Madison Square Garden. For that last reason alone, this is worth having.

It's a beautifully packaged set that comes with a nice booklet featuring the lyrics to the songs, and lots of great pictures. The sound is pretty good too. I remember thinking this collection sounded a lot better than other Lennon collections I had prior to this (such as the Imagine movie soundtrack).

There's other nice rarities collections of John's music that are certainly worth having, but this is the definitive, essential collection to have. Hard to believe I bought this almost 20 years ago, and equally hard to believe John's been gone for almost 30. At least I'll always have this set to remember him by.

title: Brings back memories

text: I got this tape for Christmas when I was eleven. I wore it out listening to it and it was my favorite for a few years. I sort of outgrew Bryan Duncan's music in following years but I still love this one, particularly the one's he made videos for, "Darkness Is Falling" and "A Child's Love". This one really brings me back to the 80s, a great time!

title: E Clapton

text: Great collection of Clapton’s music. Clapton fans need this one.


title: This is a sleeper!

text: I bought it as a "casual" Clapton fan and it knew his hits but sort of blew off the rest. Wow. My mistake. The 2nd disc is getting into his fascination with the blues. BB King and JJ Cale join him and it is magical. Highly recommend this album.

title: brings us back to the mid-1980's classic period...

text:
reminds me of the great Conferring With The Moon/Imaginary Roads time period.

Those two CD's are stone classics.

This one will grow with time.

I've listened all the way through once.

Superb.


title: Love the songs and stories within the songs

text: An amazing talent - guitarist/vocalist.  Just wish there was a follow up album.  The hits are here but my favorites are "Who Da Baby Daddy" and "She's Still Here" (I mean c'mon a song about a nerd and a female serial killer - what's not to love).


title: Great band but you can tell who produced it

text: Heavy production on the keyboards and violin but vocals, bass, and drums are thin in comparison.  No surprise since the keyboard/violinist is the producer.  Loved the music of this band.


title: Perfect

title: Great Anthology of Funky Keyboardist

text: I am a fan of organ based music and a friend of mine recommended I pick this up.  I am glad I did.  This is a 2 cd anthology of Brian Auger's work from 1968-87.  Auger played in many bands during the sixties before forming his own band.  He even backed up bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson on trip to England at one time. His organ playing seems to be influenced (almost all organists are) by the great jazz/blues organist Jimmy Smith.  His playing is very funky and the music is in sort of a jazz/funk/rock fusion combination.  Auger's playing is less bombastic than organists like Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman. This compilation contains a mixture of both vocal and instrumental tracks. Among the sidemen who appear on this set are vocalist Alex Ligertwood later of Santana, and Robbie McIntosh later of the Average White Band. Highlights include funky covers like "Freedom Jazz Dance", "Inner City Blues", "Listen Here", "Compared To What", "Maiden Voyage",  "Bumpin' On Sunset", "Dragon Song", and  "No Time To Live".  Auger could also write impressive originals like "A Better Land", "Tomorrow City" and others.  This set unlike the 2 cd Polydor/Chronicles "The Best Of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express", contains material from that period and earlier material as well.  However, I miss a few songs like "Truth", and "Second Wind" which appear on Polydor set only. Fans of jazz fusion or funky organ playing would do well to pick up either one of these sets.


title: Best UFO Compilation

text: This is the best UFO compilation of the Michael Schenker years. This band along with Thin Lizzy and Wishbone Ash are a few of the most underrated guitar bands of the seventies.  Michael Schenker the "Flying V" master is an influential guitarist.  However the are a few flaws with this collection.  In order to make this collection representative of this whole time period some the tracks are live versions from the "Strangers In The Night" cd. While that cd is smokin, it is easily available in the U.S.  The cd compilers would be better served to use only studio tracks because some of the UFO cds from this time period are not available stateside at present.  I also have a quibble with the track selection as some of my favorites were left off this cd in order to make room for a few less representative tracks. However, this is the prime time period for UFO.  Their later albums after Michael Schenker left began to sound like generic arena rock from the seventies.  If you are a fan of British guitar rock or Michael Shenker this will be an good introduction to this band.


title: It's stupid small and impossible to read without a magnifying glass ...

text:
If you're a Starship/Airplane fan, your collection is not complete without this CD issued in 2005. There are some additional tracks on this reissue of this seminal album. The packaging includes a miniature version of the booklet of Grace Slick's artwork and the lyrics that came with the original 12" vinyl. It's stupid small and impossible to read without a magnifying glass but it's there. Also included is a 2005 article by Jud Cost featuring updated interviews with some of the performers.
It sounds great and clean but I cannot comment on the technical quality of this CD's tracks as compared to the previous releases or to the original album (which I played so often the grooves were stripped).
Bonus tracks:
1. Let's Go Together \alternate lyrics)
2. Sunrise (Grace Slick acoustic demo)
3. Hijack (Kantner acoustic demo)
4. Sound effects and radio ads
5. Starship (live version)


title: Brand new and looks great

text: The album is in excellent condition and looks great with the obi strip. It also plays great! Five stars.


title: Three Stars

text: triple meh


title: Five Stars

text: excellent


title: Sensitive performances of subtle music

text:
We love our single CD from this set, which includes terrific performances of the Novelettes, the Trois Pieces, which includes a great performance of the Toccata, and the Three Perpetual Movements.
We are sure the rest of the music will be played just as brilliantly.
You may also enjoy Poulenc's Music for Babar the Elephant, from a fun CD by Barry Humphries [aka Dame Edna Everage] which includes Humphries' narration of Babar, and Dame Edna's inimitable declamation of Peter and the Wolf and the Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra.


title: Great Alternative Versions and Interesting Experiments

text:
Some of the most interesting recordings of the 3 Anthology collections appear on Volume 2. There are alternate versions of songs which are quite different from those that were released. And there are versions of songs which show the creative process undergone to produce the version we are familiar with.
We get to hear Yesterday "unstrung" with Paul playing acoustic guitar and singing, but without the string octet.
Paul's demo of Fool on the Hill is included, as is a simpler version of John Lennon's Across the Universe.
It is interesting to hear I Am the Walrus without the George Martin slurpy cellos and sound effects. When you hear only electric piano and John's voice, you appreciate Martin's skill in complementing John's musical ideas.
The versions of Strawberry Fields Forever are worth the price of this compilation. It is wonderful to be able to hear John's extremely simple original version, and also two versions produced before the final recording which ws a composite of two separate recordings. One of the versions included gives you the whole of one of these versions that were edited together.
There are two instrumental only recordings here, of Eleanor Rigby and Within You, Without You. Karaoke, anybody?
Perhaps the most startlingly different alternative version is the recording of Tomorrow Never Knows.
I wonder if you will agree with me that the alternative versions are interesting, but nearly always not as satisfying as those that were released.
A great set to play from time to time. Highly recommended.


title: History in the Making

text:
This first Anthology CD has lots of treasures, including the earliest recordings The Beatles made.
The spoken word segments are interesting, I think. It is helpful that they have been assigned a track each, so that you don't have to listen to them every time you play the CD.
A lot of the material was previously released on expensive bootleg recordings. These LPs, tapes and CDs were often marketed at about twice the price of commercial recodings, and were often only 15 minutes long.
The sound quality of the Anthology is vastly superior and much much cheaper than those now superseded pirate recordings. Even if the Anthology series had not been produced, it would still be hard to sell those bootlegs in our peer-to-peer on-line environment.
Some of my favourite tracks:
Free As A Bird It is great to hear The Beatles together, even if one member was not able to appear personally. Real Love is a better song, but FAAB was a great introduction to the Anthology set, I think.
Three Cool Cats and The Sheik of Araby are great fun. I love the "not 'arf!" in Sheik.
How Do You Do It It is interesting to hear how The Beatles, however reluctantly,  performed this song, later recorded by Gerry and The Pacemakers[who, some say, are now geriatrics *with* pacemakers].
One After 909 The alternative versions made available in this set are interesting and this one is a real gem.
Leave My Kitten Alone is one of the best songs recorded, but not released by The Beatles.
I'll Be Back is one several songs on the Anthology series which let us listen to The Beatles creating their masterpieces. It is great to hear this version with a different metre and feel, and The Beatles evaluation of their experiments.
Not the best of the 3 sets, but well worth owning and listening to every once in a while.


title: accessible --great listen

text: this is from 80's and is sans Renate Knapt.  Makes me think of viva la trance, but is more consistent.  Not hard core prog, but a good listen.


title: Nice

text: well engineered--some tracks really come alive differently than in stereo--Mammagamma in particular stands out. The silence and I doesn't disappoint. good listen.


title: Nice listen.

text: I have this on LP from 1975.  The band was from Belgium.  Is instrumental, and  I would describe as classic rock with mild progressive influence. At times they remind me of Gryphon,  otherwise original.  well recorded and produced.  Nice listen.

text: The dealer I ordered this from did not have the Rhino remaster, but my timing was good and the MFSL sacd was just released and I picked up one of those.  Great album, I have the 180gram vinyl, and the mfsl sacd-great album, enjoy both versions.
