title: Not Bad...for a Jon Davison Solo Album

text:
If I had listened to this album without knowing the recording artist, I would have guessed that it was a Jon Davison solo album. It sounds a bit like some Glass Hammer albums (except "Ode to Echo") but with weaker instrumentation and less compositional interest. I would have concluded that he was not using Fred Schendel, Glass Hammer's talented keyboard player, because the keyboard work is too weak and uninspired to be his. I'd guess that the guitarist is some studio utility guy who was trying to insert a few Steve Howe-esque licks. Drummer and bassist could be any studio hacks. Only on the background vocals (which are generally mixed too loudly) would I recognize Squire's and Howe's voices, which would not be surprising since he's been working them. If you had told me that this was a Yes album, I would have laughed...with one exception: The only tune that sounds like it has some Yes influence is Subway Walls, which might have passed as one of the weaker tracks on "Fly from Here.". Overall, it just sounds like none of the musicians really care, with the exception of Davison, who is front and center all the way through. But that a Yes album does not make

So if you like the sound of Jon Davison's voice (and I do) and are curious to find out what he'd sound like without the compositional and performing collaboration of Glass Hammer's Fred Schendel on keys and Steve Babb on bass (which I wouldn't), then give this album a whirl. It certainly isn't terrible, but it doesn't have much to recommend it.

title: Decifunk - Open your Eyes

text:
Great live band. Caught their show down in the Outer Banks in North Carolina 5 or 6 years ago in a small club. Met a few of the members who were very cool individuals. None of them were over the age of 25 at the time. There were 10 people in the band and the horn section was just fantastic. It's too bad this band is no longer together. It would have been fun to watch this band grow and develop into a Tower Of Power type act. One thing that struck me was that just about every nationality was represented in the band. The CD itself stands on it's own with great hooks and in my opinion, Better than average but not great song writing skills that had the signs of getting much better with successive albums. This is in no way a dig, this means that they had the ability to go in so many directions of their choosing at the time. The CD itself could have been mastered better but the music does come through on it's own merits because they are just damn good musicians. This is why I gave it 4 stars. Even if you are not from The Boston area and never saw this band live, buy this CD. You will not be disappointed. If you are a fan of Tower Of Power, you will love where this band is coming from. While they did,'t quite capture the live show lightning in a bottle, there are more then a few gems here that will leave you humming them in head long after you listen to it. A couple stand out songs for me are Open Your Eyes, Rollercoaster, Pop The Top, Indebt and Gettin' Down. Unfortunately there is very little info on the band on web.

title: Black sabbath - the end

text:
This isnt really a greatest hits . Its more like an introduction to the music.  Spanning from the first album to never say die.
Alot of great music on here,  but the production is spotty.  Some songs sound good..while others sound 5 miles away.
It offers quite a bit.  Its not exactly a quick listen.  So get comfy


title: Love it !!

text: Incredible experience to listen this new album after couple years since the last one.


title: Great CD.

text: Great CD.


title: Don't Miss This One

text: The recording is quite nice, considering that it was recorded in 1960.  I skipped the commentary.  I recommend it.


title: Simple and elegant

text: Magnificent renderings of some timeless classics.  I can see why Christian would have chosen these.


title: Led Zeppeliano!

text:
You've listened over and over to all of Led Zeppelin's studio albums, their live albums, even bootlegs.
Of course you did, it's great stuff.

You've listened to the solo albums of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones, but nothing really scratches that itch.
Page & Plant?  Kinda gets you there, but it's missing...something.

Moby Dick may be your answer.  It's not original, it's not AS good as LZ, but as a substitute it's more heroin than methadone.

Much better than I expected.


title: superb albums from one of the greatest tenor sax players of all time

text: These recordings are so good that you won't be able to stop playing them. Gordon is a jazz genius.


title: Hooray for Gail Gage Jazz

text: I have this CD and I love it - and tho it isn't often included on a jazz album, my favorite is Gail singing The Tennessee Waltz - or maybe Carolyn singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow - or maybe. OK, I like them all.


title: If you love Peter Gabriel like I do

text: If you love Peter Gabriel like I do, you will love this CD!! (2 CDs actually.) You must have it if you don't already. And I really love how his face is painted on the cover. If you don't know Peter Gabriel, you might really enjoy him. He is a very smart, deep feeling, socially aware person, which makes his lyrics very meaningful. He also uses a lot of different instruments; some wood instruments from other countries for example. Excellent drums!! You might really enjoy him if you are looking for some different/new music.


title: what great music, thank you

text: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, what great music, thank you.


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing quality! Would definitely purchase from them again.


title: Amazing Grace And How Great Thou are fantastic.

text: Have always loved to hear Tennessee Ernie Ford sing especially hymns.  This CD has all of my favorites. I remember when he was offered a Show on Sunday night TV.  He said would only do it if he could close it with a hymn.  They said no, people wouldn't like it. They gave in and it became the most popular part of his show.  No one can sing gospel like Ernie Ford.


title: Love Elton

text: I would have given this 5 Stars except the CD case was crunched during shipping.  The songs are great...just wish the post office hadn't mutilated it.


title: The Beatles White Album remastered with Esher Demos.

text:
I’m enjoying this album very much! They did an excellent job with the Vinyl Remastered Album.  The Esher cuts are are amazing! I would advise everyone to purchase this album.
  Only one thing that bothers me is the price I paid for it. All Vinyl is getting so expensive is days. I feel that I made an excellent choice to buy it though.
  I say to everyone , but it now because I don’t see the prices going lower. It’s well worth the money in my opinion . Do yourself a favor and purchase this album. You won’t be sorry.

text:
I feel that Bubble Puppy’s music is timeless. We all know of their hit from that album...
“Hot Smoke and Sasafrass” now that was some Badass music. The whole album is awesomely cool!
You honestly can’t go wrong with this album. On top of that, the boys are still at it.


title: Great Collection

text: this is a great collection of songs and a must have for elvis fans.


title: Great voice but poor sound quality

text: If you already own the Nana Mouskouri French and English box sets then don't waste your money on this "new" CD. When some of the songs from this CD were released on the 34 CD French box set, including the two Greek songs, and all of these songs, except the two Greek songs, were released on 20 CD English box set, the sound was spectacularly excellent. It was fairly loud and crystal clear without being excessively sharp. On this newly remastered CD the sound is weak, dull and muffled. Don't get me wrong... Nana Mouskouri is God's gift to singing. I have already discussed how sublime her voice is and how amazing her singing abilities are in other reviews so that has already been established and I need not repeat myself. My gripe with this new CD is that it does not do the original albums justice and that it is a step backward rather than a step forward from previous remasters of these songs. Incidentally, the 34 CD French box set, L'integrale, was released in early 2004 while 20 CD English box set, The Complete English Works, was released in late 2005.


title: THIS CD IS A BOOTLEGGED COPY COPIED STRAIGHT FROM AN ...

text: THIS CD IS A BOOTLEGGED COPY COPIED STRAIGHT FROM AN LP OR AN MC! BRITISH CONCERT HAS ONLY BEEN RELEASED ON A 2 CD SET AS PART OF THE 20 CD BOX SET TITLED "THE COMPLETE ENGLISH WORKS" IN 2005!!! I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSELY FOLLOWING NANA'S DISCOGRAPHY SINCE THE TURN OF THE CENTURY AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY MENTION OF HER BRITISH CONCERT RELEASED ON CD FOR INDIVIDUAL SALE. BUYER BEWARE!


title: Old, vintage Nana sound

text: This CD is a rather mediocre remastering of Nana's very first songs originally released on 45 RPMs in the late 1950s. They were later incorporated on LP and MC before being 'transferred' onto this CD. This is not Nana at her most majestic or most sumptuous. These songs have the simple and basic sound typical of songs recorded in a late 1950s Greek studio. I would recommend this CD only for hardcore fans who are interested in tracing the history of her voice and her repertoire and who MUST have all of her songs. If you're looking for the kind of heavenly sound one finds on her Philips recordings you won't find it here.


title: Songs from the Greek islands

text: Nana, with the help of some of Greece's finest singers, offers us beautiful and contemporary interpretations of some very old and classic Greek songs. Nana still sounds great. This is a must have for all Nana Mouskouri fans and for all fans of traditional Greek songs.


title: A nice compilation CD with 4 new songs

text: ...but not really worth 72 or 100 USD. This CD contains 2 very beautiful newly recorded Dutch songs, tracks 1 and 9, one very haunting newly recorded vocal, track 8, and the well-known 'Land of Hope and Glory', track 13. The other 9 songs have been recycled from previous recordings. Only the 2 Dutch songs have never appeared on any subsequent recording. Nana, as always, sounds absolutely divine and the arrangements are flawless. The track list is as follows: 1. De Kleinste 2. Recuerdos 3. Song for Liberty 4. Plaisir d'amour 5. Forgive and Forget 6. Alleluia 7. Les Amants 8. The Lonely Shepherd 9. Waarheen Waarvoor 10. Mon Dieu 11. Why Worry 12. Addio 13. Land of Hope and Glory. I hope this review was helpful. This album, incidentally, was released in 1988.


title: One of Nana's finest English language albums

text: This is one of Nana's finest English language albums. It contains timeless classics like "The Rose", "Every Grain of Sand" and "Sweet Music Man", all marvelously interpreted. It also contains 2 very wonderful Greek songs. I would get this album on CD, however, if possible. "The Complete English Works" box set contains all of the English songs on this album on one of its CDs but not the 2 Greek songs. The sound quality is extraordinary. A good investment if you can afford it.


title: Eine unheimliche ausgezeichnete CD

text: In dieser CD, Nana bietet uns 12 sehr schOne Lieder an, das letzte auf Griechisch. Die Melodien, die Worte und Nanas Stimme sind sehr sehnsuchtlich und wunderschOn. The level of German used in the lyrics can by anyone understood be who elementary German studied has... Ha, ha! The Greek song was recycled from Nana's 'Spiti mou spitaki mou' album and is called 'Vale ton ilio synoro' which means 'Place the sun as your ally'. The title of the album means 'Songs that love writes' and it has a nice mix of adaptations anD 'real' German songs. This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums of Nana's career.


title: Eine wunderschOne CD von einer unheimlichen ausgezeichneten Singerin

text: I agree with hgrimek completely. His remarks echo my sentiments exactly. I would just add that track 3 is sung entirely in Spanish with Nana reciting lines in German in betweem the Spanish verses. The vocals to this song are intenselly beautiful. In addition, most of these songs are German adaptations of songs which Nana had previously sung in French, some of which were originally written in French and some not. In some ways 'Nur ein Lied' - Just one song- is a German version of Nana's 1994 'Dix mille ans encore' CD. There are 3 REAL German songs on this 13 track CD. In any case, these songs are magnificently interpreted and very spiritual. 'In den TAlern singen die Lerchen' - In the valleys sing the larks - is truly haunting. This is probably the very best of Nana's German albums. If you cannot get this item from www.amazon.com then try www.amazon.de. The toolbars are the same and all your account information is carried over.


title: Some Great Songs, most are only OK

Interesting idea, with commercials
"I can See for Miles" is Fantastic
The other songs aren't bad, but sound Sophomoric
Musically it has some Great songs, Most are only ok
Not as outstanding as their later stuff

text: Thank you Mark and Susan. Great blend of vocals. Mark must of known when he asked Susan to sing with him that there would be some Magic. Hopefully they will both do a complete album together again soon.

This CD is beyond awesome!  I've had it for years.  I use it at work to block out all of the craziness.  Very unusual, very relaxing.  Every time I listen I notice a different instrument/sound.  The use of the rain stick is really cool and unexpected!  I recommend this to anyone!

title: Great Soud Quality-Superb Music

text:
This is a fine collection and well mastered, beats the Capital release of the same LP's done just several years ago. I have purchased several Not Now Music (label) collections and all have been superb in sound quality. They have a vast genders of music. Go to the UK Amazon site and look at the 33 pages of titles. Jazz, Blues, and Rock, and Indi titles. This collections shows just how good digital done right can be. Have no need to pull the old vinyl out of hearing these, I could not say that before.

I just ordered another set that will have 2 more of Sinatra's captial years LP's on the 2 CD's. The title is called "Songs For Swinging Lovers" along with Song For Young Lovers. Plus 6 bonus tracks. Total of 33 songs. Get them all while you can. I hope Not Now Music continues releasing such high quality products.

The old war of Digital vs. Vinyl is garbage both can be great or suck, it all gets back to the same thing care taken in mastering of the product.


title: Great Live Concert

text: This is a must have CD. Great band and great selection of music and Arthur in great voice. Just like being in the club that night. Very special CD if you can find a copy buy it for your collection.


title: Finally a fine recording of this great music

text: My favorite all-time movie music, by a great composer. Has been hard to find a decent recording of the music for some reason. Finally this was achieved here and I am very grateful!


title: Love Her Voice!!

text: If you have children, you are going to LOVE hearing Sharon Novak's  beautiful voice as she sings to your children!  Her music is fun & unique!  I was so impressed, I have been her fan since I heard her music!


title: Ardent and idiomatic, if not quite world-class

text:
This Nonesuch LP is an old favorite of mine. It is the recording that I first got to know the German Requiem with, way back in the 70s. While the Hamburg choral and orchestral forces are hardly on a par with some of the great orchestras who have recorded this work in Vienna, Berlin, or London, they seem to tackle it with ardor and conviction. And though it can be said that the chorus is not particularly well-blended, I still feel they bring great feeling and reverent emotion to their task. But a particularly good aspect of this recording is the soloists, who are indeed world-class and bring uniquely compelling skill and style to their parts. Theresa Stitch-Randall sings her part in a light, decidedly non-operatic, almost "white" (i.e. not vibrato-heavy) sound that gives it a lovely ethereal quality (I would even go so far as to say "ghostly," if that makes any sense), not at all out of keeping with the nature of the music. As for Baritone James Pease, a somewhat forgotten figure these days, he had recorded this part earlier, in a 1950s RCA mono set with Robert Shaw, but in the intervening years his voice seems to have darkened to a point that when he recorded it again in Hamburg for this set he sounded more like a bass....or at least a bass-baritone. So if you've always felt that this part would be better-served by a darker voice in the bass range, you would find Pease's performance in this set highly satisfying.

The chances of this set every being professionally remastered for CD are remote, but I've always quite liked it, particularly for its distinctive and superb soloists. And the supplementary choral pieces by Brahms are quite well-performed too and idiomatically German. I plan on doing my own digital transfer of this set for my own enjoyment, and I've always appreciated it.


title: A great album perfectly transferred to CD

text: This was my first, and for me still the best, of the Lambert, Hendrix and Ross albums. It's a unique vocal style that perfectly captures an earlier jazz era. The price of admission is worth it for Annie Ross alone. Her range, agility and precision rival, and perhaps surpass, that of Cleo Lane, and she's at her peak on this recording. If you want to hear something really interesting, those two are teamed up on a recording of Walton's Façade; available only on vinyl.


title: good background music.

text: extraneous sounds are noticeably audible.


title: Great follow up to their previous recordings

text: This is a great follow up to their first two recordings.

text: love! such beautiful music!


title: BEAUTIFUL

text: HIS NAME MIGHT BE PRINCE BUT HE IS KING


title: Not liking the song

text: The song were not good some were repeated and mess up


title: Fun, Fun CD!

text: I am buying this for my grandchildren as I loved this 'album' so much when my children were little. I used to listen to it even when they weren't around, so fun. We still have the vinyl...but no turntable. It's great even if you're not a fan of country music, which I was not back then. Count von Count's Continuous Cooking Down Home Diner...can't beat that one! Especially now that the voice of the Count has passed away. And Glen Campbell, Crystal Gale, Tanya Tucker....Can't wait to get it and share it. This is definitely music that both you and your children will enjoy on roadtrips, unlike say.... Strawberry Shortcake..over and over.


title: Classic Oldie

text: Coming home for school holidays in the late 70's is a time I have always associated with this album. I've completed my last two years of high school away from home and were always looking forward to listening to Rolling Down a Mountain Side. I love the music then and still love it today...maybe even more especially in the knowledge that music like this are not made anymore. A fantastic album to have in my collection.


title: Cases were cracked

text: Disappointed... the CD cases were cracked


title: Missing items.

text: Packaging was okay. But it was missing most of the things listed. Only got the poster and cd. No photo cards


title: Elvis Fan

text: My mother is a die hard fan of Elvis Presley and she loves this Christmas gift!


title: Perfection

text: What a beautiful recording of a most incredible voice just singing the most gorgeous songs with an incredible orchestra. That adds up to be just perfection.


title: Great CD, volume recorded at a little disapointing

text: Songs aree fantastic but sounds lik they recorded it on half volume. Have to turn it up stereo volume to get it to normal hearing range. Had wife try on her car stereo and she said same thing.


title: Happy Birthday!!

text: [[VIDEOID:e46dd7cdc993bf810c1e3932355f2d3d]] In excellent condition!! My daughter is gonna love it and the record player for her birthday!! It came sooner than was supposed to also


title: Not as described

text: The description stated 73 lectures, but it came in only 1 volume. Can be misleading. Be more explicit to avoid a return.

text: Was hoping for the janet version


title: Great condition CD

text: Loved this on my turntable before albums were called "vinyl". Had cassette in my car.  Wonderful CD.  Picked up some notes I never noticed before.


title: Awesome opera.

text: Once doesn't hear about this as much as some of the others, perhaps because it is a one act opera; however, the third scene is one of the most beautiful aria sequences in all opera (if you like that Puccini sound).  Lucia Popp is breathtaking.  Interestingly, this is the only testosterone free opera I am aware of; the only males in the entire opera are in the boys choir.


title: One Of My Absolute Favorite Albums.

text:
Steve Scott is a brilliant lyricist and in the 80s created alternative rock music that was very much ahead of its time.  Much of the material here is from a project that was planned to be released as part of an agreement between Exit Records and Island Records (as happened with the band 77s and Charlie Peacock).

Sadly, it never happened, but we are lucky to have this compilation of some truly great music, both in sound and words.

You can get a sampling of a few of these songs on MP3 or CD on the retrospective 'An Emotional Tourist' also here on Amazon.

Steve also does incredible spoken word projects.  He is a true poet who looks deep into the soul.


title: Awesome Show and DVD

text: This is a great snapshot of Pearl Jam live.  Both the CD and DVD are amazing.  Loving them!!!


title: Great Service and Product

text: This is a wonderful collection of early Elvis recordings. The sound is really good.<br />The service from the seller was outstanding. I am so pleased with their care of the product and that I received it days ahead of the scheduled arrival date.  Thanks so much.

title: Great Variety!

text: I usually have reservations about these "various artist" type albums, but this one was really worth the choice! I have yet to find one song that I would have left off of this CD..........Every one is a fresh breath of air and although some of these bands are probably extinct by now. Individually they still give an insight into what the authors Christian walk is about without being just a cookie cutter type album that I find redundant in today's top 40. Don't get me wrong, I still Love a lot of the "top 40" music, but find many that have a hint of repeatable themes. The Holy Spirit WILL lead many to write about some of the same subjects, but a few artists today are concerned more about $$$$....not all, but a few.  Thousand Foot Krutch just happens to be one of my favorite bands and although I own every release of theirs, I'm still amazed at how well they perform. Dighayzoose fits in as well!<br />All in all......this is an album I will treasure for a long time because of the variety and the rawness of getting the precepts of our FATHER into song....like King David!


title: Another Great One!

text: Kevin max just keeps on singing and I just keep on buying! This one is a "mastery of the voice" (I really think he was given this voice for the purpose of praise) and I really enjoy his Poetry. Never heard it? Please try one of his earlier albums like: "Cotes........." and check it out............fantastic stuff in my opinion! Loved his additional voice with the DCTalk era! ALL I ever heard, besides the message, was his beautiful vibrato and the harmonies that these guys inherited! He still has the expanding talents that I crave to listen!

title: Irma loves Jesus

text: Admiring fan of gospel music regardless of history or past sins. Songs of praise and glory bring me closer to Jesus.


title: Great CD set

text: I will admit that I bought this CD for the show with John Elefante.  I have seen Kansas many times and saw them on the Vinyl Confessions tour.  Both shows are great.  The sound quality of both shows is way above average.  I was surprised at how well the older songs sound with John on vocals.  The 77 show is not as good as Two For The Show but, is very good in its own right.  Kansas fans should pick this up.  There is a DVD of this material but, no way I'm dropping $80+ when it is on youtube for free.


title: NOT all acoustic, but still very good

text:
Let's get one thing out in the open.  This is NOT all acoustic.  As a guitarist of 47 years, I know the sound of an electric guitar and they ARE used in several places during this show.  However, The arrangements of some of the songs have changed and provide an interesting update for many of these tunes.  The band is tight, however the production is somewhat lacking.  I am not sure if this is an "official" release or not, but adjusting your EQ is helpful in bringing out some of the instruments.

I am glad I bought this as I love the Outlaws and would certainly encourage other fans to do so if they can find it at a decent price.


title: WOW

text: Didn't know about this until about a month ago.  This is an awesome rendition of Dark side.  DT and PF fans should buy it asap.


title: Two great albums great deal.

text: This is a great deal two cds for almost the price of one.


title: best album has gitty punk vibe to it

text: One of Nine Inch Nails, best album has gitty punk vibe to it.  Kind of in the same tone as "Pretty Hate Machine."


title: After hearing most the solo work from the Cellist Ana ...

text: After hearing most the solo work from the Cellist Ana. Know hearing this melting pot of sound.  From the acts to toss back to the days of Tull, to DMB. Comes a strong tour de force.


title: Great Release

text: Each track, you notice the sound difference.  The second disk, with the remixes, are real, amazing.  The third, disk, have extra, the live shows are worth, it.<br />The books included, have awesone photography.  If you fan of Recoil, it's worth every penny.


title: Pumpkins

text: Great album.


title: Exceptional Music

text: I am a Bill Frisell fan and the quality of the music on this production is outstanding.  Bill also provides commentary and perspective on his music between songs.  However, in my opinion the most telling endorsement I can provide you about this set is how it is received by others.  I have exposed this disc to dozens of friends on multiple occasions as we've hosted dinner parties over the years.  Everyone, and I mean everyone, asks about the artist and comments on the beauty of the music.  This is truly a special collection.


title: Arrived quickly and as described

text: Item came exactly as described and arrived very quickly!


title: Five Stars

text: A + !


title: Completely Original Minimalist Rock

text: Back in the early 90's I bought this based entirely on an interview in Flipside magazine. And now this might be my favorite record of all time. Still fresh, completely original, and relevant some 20+ years later. Minimal, avant-garde guitar rock unlike anything you've ever heard before.


title: Delicious!

text: Another great compilation of stripperiffic 50's and 60's instrumental rock 'n' roll. While all the releases in the Frolic Diner series are worth owning, this one is noteworthy because of the inclusion of two versions of "Delicious"--The original Jim Backus version and a weird version by T.C. Jones called, "Champagne Cocktails." ANyone who is not giggling along with Jim Backus by the end of that track has no soul. If you like the Las Vegas Grind series you will probably like this. It's not quite as sleazy and gritty as The Las Vegas Grind but it is every bit as fun and rollicking.

When I was growing up in Mexico back in the '80 it was extremely difficult to get to listen to Spanish rock - what was available on the radio & TV could hardly be called rock, only got a glimpse of OM through a few shows from TVE (Televisión de España) that were broadcast in Mexico because of a media exchange between the two countries. Fun and Crazy can define the presence of this band on stage, specially with Javier as a frontman, never failed to deliver on the antics and the singing - the lyrics are also something to listen to with attention, otherwise one can miss a punchline or two. This 2 CD set covers a good range of the band's catalog, both studio and live recordings are included, album is a bit hard to find but that is where Amazon shines.


title: Great Listening Experience

text: What makes this album so strong is, Johnny Lee Long (virtuoso bassist) focuses on good songwriting, arrangements and groove! Like a true music legend, Johnny shares the sonic space with the other musicians, making this album a great listening experience!!!


title: not remastered

text:
obviously someone tried to rip malmsteen off because this is no way near remastering
this sound similar to the bad low quality of the originals
i would suggest to yngwie to get jens bogren for remastering next time instead of this joke of a guy


For a bootleg with moral good board r radio recording so sound is acceptable. Some unique oerformances not found elsewhere


title: No matter how good it is, It is NOT Black Oak Arkansas!!!

text: Black Oak was a decent band founded by Jim Dandy Mangrum after BOA called it a day. There's NO Ian Dirty, Tommy Aldridge, Ricky Reynolds, only Henderson remained from the glory days. The result provided mostly by the songwriter multiinstrumentalist Jack Holder was somewhat different from BOA, more mainstream sounding collection of songs. If not for the penned by J.D. Stand By Your Kind, I'd say this has almost no relation to the band who's name was glorious and sounded much alike. Although technically this album was a failure, some songs are interesting. However the idea of calling a new LP by the name of 1970 hit and placing it as an opener speaks for itself - they didn't have much to tell. Still they were quite good and you should try this one out - it might be interesting at least.


title: Five Stars

text: easy to listen to complex enough to hold my interest.  really like what these guys are doing


title: A pleasant surprise

text: Sometimes an album by a friend or relation is listened to out of supporting their talents. Expectations are not high. What I loved about Rope and Vine was the diversity in style and quality of the lyrics. It is an album that gets richer the more one listens to it. I have shared with others and they have been impressed.

text: Bogdan is just fantastic!  I know this CD came all the way from Eastern Europe, and I am most glad I reach out...  "Good third party vendor!"


title: My all time favorite album and the best of '68

text: Yes, everybody knows them for beach music but this album was unique.  They pulled you into the record store (they used to have those) with their hit Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy, they got you to buy the LP instead of the 45 by throwing in other hits you knew - their covers of the Box Tops' '67 hit The Letter, Billy Joe Royal's hit from '65 with the Joe South song Down In The Boondocks, and Louie Louie from the Kingsmen in '63 - but the rest of the tracks on this album were an unexpected bonus.  Three more Joe South greats, the foot-tapping Double Shot, To The Aisle by Billy Dawn Smith and Stu Weiner, and two Tams originals including the title song.  I was 9 years old when I first got this album in 1968, and that song helped steer to me other artists I quickly came to love. My original got lost in the 80s and I looked for another for years before the Internet finally justified its existence.  We lost Charles Pope a year ago, but the Tams live on.  Buy everything of theirs you can.  You'll find yourself smiling.


title: The CD is great.

text: I like the CD. The CD case was shattered into many pieces on delivery. Disappointed. I’m not returning it, I’ll find a case .


title: We really enjoy the Brinkman Adventures

text: We really enjoy the Brinkman Adventures! We took a trip to Colorado this past summer and listened to all of season 3 during our drive.Good stuff!

title: EXCELLENT COMPILATION

text: I take a mini-road trip every Sunday morning and really enjoy automobile inspired music while I drive. Although most of theses songs are ahead of my time, they are entertaining, fun an a great introduction to a bygone era of road songs . A great value for the money!

title: A soundtrack with something for every musical taste

text:
"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" differed from its three feature film predecessors in that it was the first to play primarily as a comedy, in the mode of such Original Series episodes as "I, Mudd" and "The Trouble with Tribbles." Hence, it's fitting that Leonard Rosenman's soundtrack for the film differs from the previous soundtracks provided by Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner.

Gone is both the grandeur of Goldsmith and the nautical feel of Horner. Instead, Rosenman-who scored this film at the behest of his friend Leonard Nimoy, directing the movie in addition to returning as Spock-provides the most diverse musical experience of any "Star Trek" soundtrack.

Rosenman's main title sets the stage for the film by blending both heroism and playfulness in equal measure. There's also "Chekov's Run," an energetic Russian polka accompanying Chekov's flight from Navy personnel aboard the real-life aircraft carrier USS Enterprise; the pure slapstick of "Hospital Chase;" the mellow, easy-listening jazz of "Ballad of the Whale," which complements perfectly Horner's Johnny Mercer medley from "The Search for Spock;" the jazz fusion of "Market Street," a piece about contemporary San Francisco which would not be out of place in a "Beverly Hills Cop" adventure (ironically, Catherine Hicks' role in "The Voyage Home" was originally written for "BHC" star Eddie Murphy); and even a punk-rock pastiche, "I Hate You," created by the film's associate producer Kirk Thatcher and sound editor Mark Mangini, which is heard on an album for the first time.

In short, this soundtrack offers something for virtually every musical taste.

Rosenman's spare score-only 40 minutes long because he and Nimoy opted for music only where they believed it would have impact-allows for 32 minutes worth of extra tracks in this single-disc presentation, including a stately rendition of Alexander Courage's Original Series theme which builds to the initial appearance of the alien probe that attacks Earth and alternate versions of four tracks from the film which show how Rosenman fine-tuned his already strong compositions for the movie's final cut.

This is easily the most eclectic, and the most enjoyable, of the "Star Trek" film soundtracks.

text: great - thank you


title: Great Product

text: Great recordings of early piano rolls by such composers as, Scott Joplin, James P. Johnson, Jellyroll Morton, and Fats Waller. I'd love to hear of more Biograph recordings of this type.


title: Great recording!

text: This is a fine recording of a much overlooked composer. The choice of organs used in the recording was great the acoustic in the various churches was superb and the playing of the organist, Rudolf Inning was beyond reproach.


title: Great recording!

text: This is a great recording of what is a vanishing musical instrument ,the 20th century pipe organ. Richard Purvis displays superior talent and mastery of the large Aeolian-Skinner organ.


title: A great buy, a great seller

text: I've been looking for this record for a little while and came across it here. The seller was great. It shipped and arrived very quickly. It was in great condition and the seller's asking price was good. My 2 year-old son is a huge fan of the Pirates ride and movies and this was exciting for him to see. When I'm ready to shop for more vintage records I will certainly be visiting The Rock Shop again. Thanks!

text: I really like it, the price is just fair enough for this. it has a nice presentation that looks like small LPs. Good to remember the music of the good old Mexican rock days. I was expecting a little more as well as the lyrics booklet, but it didn't come with.


title: Brilliant West Coast Jazz

text: A very pleasant example of West Coast Jazz from the 1950s. Bob Cooper and Bud Shank played together in Stan Kenton's early 50s band before branching out on their own. The flute [Shank, alto sax] and the oboe [Cooper, tenor sax] were not their first instruments; jazz reed players usually doubled up. Although light for some tastes, this is creative, sophisticated music that makes for a joyous ear treat. Most of the tunes are originals, and the solos are first rate. This is one of four albums recorded together also available [?] on Mosaic CDs. Rhythm section: pianist Claude Williamson, bassist Don Prell and either Chuck Flores or Jimmy Pratt on drums.

title: Wanda Vick Play many string instruments very well.

text: I have been watching Wanda Vick since the early 1990's on TNN Country. She is one of the most talented string instrument players in the music  industry. It has been great to see her transition from TNN when it stopped in the late 1990's over to Bill Gaither's Homecoming projects and continues through present day playing for most of the Gaither productions. She is a great string instrument player and I sure enjoy listening to her fine musical presentations.

title: World Rhythm Seeds Audio Tool, Volume 1 by Jim Donovan

text: This CD is awesome! I started African drumming a short three weeks ago. I've only had two group lessons and one private, and because of this CD, I was already able to play at International Night at our local college. My instructor loaned me this CD along with the Rhythmic Foundation DVD (also by Jim Donovan), which really helped me to understand the basics. I can play three of the songs on the CD already. Playing with the music helps me to understand the rhythm, and therefore play with the rest of the group more easily. I play the CD repeatedly, it has definitely helped build my confidence. Besides that, it is just plain fun to listen to!!!

text: Pipers and other instrumentalists interested in Piobaireachd, this is an excellent album that you'll absolutely love.<br />Barrie is a student of the Cameron school and sings in a highly expressive way. Stunning and emotional.


title: Good Music Too Much $$

text: Are you really that much better a musician that you need to charge 3 to 4 times as much for a CD.  Also no song sampling ability on Amazon is a minus when trying to decide to purchase music format.  From what I hear your music is very good but it's unfortunate that many people will not hear it due to the high cost.


title: Wonderful

text: wonderful. It is changing my life.


title: You've got to see these guys live to feel their full impact!!

text: Got to see these guys live this past August, and they were fantastic.  I remember them doing a lot of these songs.  I am probably biased to their live show, as I found those live versions to be more exciting and energetic than the CD versions.  Not saying anything at all is 'bad' about this CD; just saying that this is definitely a band that can be enjoyed a lot more performing their songs right before your eyes and ears.


title: who knew?

text: Who knew I could find this long ago favorite that I had in vinyl, 8 track and cassette????!!!!  What fun.


title: It's ok

text: Haven't enjoyed this as much as I thought.  The bells and added noises are like clanging to me.  The voices are what make this ancient music so peaceful and worshipful so this one doesn't meet expectation.

title: Fantastic collection

text: Absolutely  love this compilation , the packaging is very well done, although it is written in Russian, the music quality is outstanding. If this is a bootleg, someone put allot of time and effort into this collection. I have read other reviews that state song one on disk two is titled "Take a Boy" , instead of "Take a Bow". This is incorrect. If you look closely at the type of print used, it looks distressed, and part of the W on Bow is in fact missing, and looks Like Boy. At least on my copy. Very satisfied with my purchase. Would highly recommend this to any Muse fan !!!!!


title: Five Stars

text: GREAT SELECTION, GREAT REGGAE AND MUSICIANS


title: .... and I Dig both of Them!

text: My dad introduced me to these two back in the 60's.  And this album (v. hard to find) has a whole handful of songs that I have not been able to find on any other album by Louis and Keely.  Perhaps not their best known songs, but the ones that I have come to love them by.  Great album. 2 Thumbs up!


title: Damaged but happy

text: Scratches on album cover and large crease on back of cover, but the inside was untouched. I'm personally not too uptight with how nice the albums themselves look so I am not too displeased with its condition. Just thought I'd share in case others would like to know some risks before ordering.


title: Great soundtrack for Jerry goldsmith collectors

text: This complete supergirl soundtrack is a two disc set which has 20 songs on disc one and nine songs on disc 2. Yes this soundtrack is not as good as Williams Superman score. But it’s like comparing apples to oranges. It’s Jerry goldsmith and it’s still a great score. A must for a goldsmith collector.  Also  this limited edition is limited to 500 copies .and is made by cimmerian records. That’s why the price is so high.


title: Duel at Diablo. A must have soundtrack

text: This is a great soundtrack by Neil hefti  It has a great theme and vocal of the theme from the James garner movie duel at diablo. Not a very long score but well worth it . As an added bonus it also includes the soundtrack from the horse soldiers. A John Wayne film by David buttolph which is an odd western to pair up because the music is totally different.  This was a great buy and great service.

title: Very Good R&B CD Set

text: This CD set has some great hit songs on it:  "Back in Stride" - Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, "Let's Stay Together" - Al Green, "Before I Let Go" - Maze featuring Frankie Beverly and "Rapper's Delight" - the Sugarhill Gang.  It's worth the price just to get all these great songs on a two-CD set.  You get twenty-six songs, including "Freak-A-Zoid" - Midnight Star, "Make That Move" - Shalamar, "Atomic Dog" - George Clinton, "Street Corner" - Ashford & Simpson and "Movin'" - Brass Construction.  Talk about getting your money's worth!  I love good R&B music and especially these songs and you won't find as many great R&B songs together like this anywhere.


title: This Is the CD Set to Buy --  35 Great R&B Songs

text: I wanted some of the best R&B hits all on one or two CD's and that's just what I got with this great set.  I can't believe I never saw this on Amazon before.  You get "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden and Whitehead (which is very hard to get these days), "Love and Happiness" by Al Green, "Fantastic Voyage" by Lakeside, "Shame" by Evelyn "Champagne" King and "Solid" by Ashford and Simpson, just to name a few of the fantastic hits on this two CD set.  This is a bargain.  It's rare that a CD set has so many fantastic hits together.  There's "Call Me" by Skyy, "Joy and Pain" by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, "Just Be Good to Me" by the S.O.S. Band, "Be Thankful for What You Got" by William Vaughn and "No Parking (On the Dance Floor)" by Midnight Star.  You get 35 great songs for a great price.  It's definitely worth it.  I love this set so much that I play it practically every day at work.


title: Many omissions, terrible track listing

text: I'm not sure who came up with the ridiculous track listing for this set...but DDAMN, SS13?  Really?  Pretty sad omissions here.  New Slayer fans: Start with Reign in Blood and buy the entire catalog.  This is a waste.


title: Great set of songs!

text: This album is fabulous, great record. The live disc plus interview with Jay is cool as well. I recommend


title: Business

text: The guest stars are terrific, Johnny Winter, Mike Bloomfield, Todd Rudgren, it is great album


title: Don't start with 'Regard Sur Le Passé'

text: 'Regard Sur Le Passé' is my least favorite of my Bembeya collection (disclaimer: I've been a total fan-boy of this band since the 1970s and have just about every recording, old and new, that I've been able to hunt down). My problem is that there's just too much talk in the history sections. My French is good enough so I can understand what is being discussed, and I know that it's all important stuff being talked about. But I love my Bembeya Jazz best when they have the rhythmic propulsiveness that's missing from this rather stately outing. The recent Stern's compilation, 'The Syliphone Years,' is a grand overview of this wonderful band. My personal fave, tho, which I've had in one form or another (initially on mono one-track audio-cassette) since 1974, is "Authenticite 73: Parade Africaine." I understand it's the last album that legendary singer Aboubacar Demba Camara made before his death in a car wreck, and he's in top form. So is the rest of the band, especially the amazing guitarist Sekou 'Diamond Fingers' 'Bembeya' Diabate. It swings like mad and shows the band at their very peak - check it out!

Come on Amazon ??  The cd has a parental advisory label on it ?
seriously, this is a rather mellow 36 track instrumental album.
The last almost in the world that could possible need a parental advisory label .


title: Love the remastered sound of these tracks!

text: I just love the remastered sound of these old tracks, and the selections that were chosen from among Mitch Miller's extensive Columbia catalogue are excellent ones. However, his absolute biggest hits are not contained herein. Some extensive liner notes would have been a nice addition.


title: Great artist, great songs, bad recording

text: The five stars are for Tif-- she deserves the attention. There are some fantastic songs on here. Sadly, this is one of the worst studio recordings I've ever heard in my life. It is god awful. I'm still glad I bought it, however, as I am happy to support such a talented singer songwriter, and it serves as a reminder to keep my eyes and ears out for her. Go see her whenever you can- you will be blown away.

text: This is a wonderful compilation.  Heartily recommended to newbies or hardcore Adrian Sherwood fans.  Packaging and booklet are great, too.


title: Nothing Lasts

text:
All the things you think and say
Float away into space
Done in thought or done in haste
They have no place, they leave no trace

All the things you think and do
Have become a part of you
All your deeds have come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts

Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again

Now you know, so damn well
That your life is a heaven and a hell
And it's very easy to tell
When you're sick and when you're well

So the secret to this life
Is so very easy to learn
If you ever love another
Never ask for anything in return

This song alone makes the album worth owning for the dedicated fan.  What a classic arrangement and lyric from the space cowboy.  This album is not his best release, not even close, but there is no way it deserves to be out of print.  Fandango, Somebody Somewhere Help Me, and a few other tracks are also very good.

The musicianship is pretty good, even though some of the songs are subpar.  But subpar for the Steve Miller Band is still way above average, so I say this record deserves 3 stars.  Also gives you more of a glimpse into his silly "Maurice" persona... he's not afraid to be a goofball, but it's pretty fun which what Steve is best at.

Overall this is a mellow, casual record with a few upbeat moments.  But if you're in the mood for something understated and unpolished but pleasant this record sounds just fine.

title: Who Knew Doo Wop Like This?

text: Loved this compilation of songs that you will not hear on the radio, anywhere, anytime. Thanks to those who captured these rare songs and made them available to those of us who love Doo Wop. Some songs suck, but everything is relative and most are either danceable or listenable. Props to those who made Confidential Doo Wop Vol.3!!!


title: Wonderful!

text: We did the Road to Hana in December.  This CD and map was wonderful, really helped us to get the most out of our time.  I think we pulled off and saw things that a lot of other tourists were whizzing by.  Unfortunately, it had not rained in a while, so the waterfalls were puny, and after discovering that, we chose to not try to see any more (we live in Washington state, we HAVE waterfalls too!)  I do suggest supplementing with a guidebook (check your library after looking at Amazon ratings if you don't want to buy one), especially for some history. We were able to "drive all the way around" because of the lack of rain.  We spoke with people a couple days later who said some of the roads on the "back side" were under water after some heavy rain.  Anyway, I recommend this CD (although I did see it cheaper in local stores than what I paid for it)


title: Another great addition to the collection

text: This is a great edition to my Pink Floyd & Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett collection. Plays clean and sounds great. Clear Green Vinyl no scratches or blemishes. Wish I could find more obscure Pink Floyd "Unofficial" Records though.


title: Deep and wide-ranging power

text: Just got to listen to this and, listen, you've just got to listen to this. For 73 minutes over 16 tracks, Underwater Traffic's power and versatility range from the hauntingly beautiful "I Can't Believe It's You" to the hysterically playful "Insanity".  The precision and musicality of the vocals complement masterly instrumental performances by virtuosos who seamlessly blend heart and spirit, diving deep into your own. What you take away is a sense of being taken away to musical spaces that bring you back to the best in yourself. Underwater Traffic deserves to be heard by a wider audience who may ask themselves, as I did, how did I miss them before?


title: This CD has a skip in its best song.

text: I ordered this CD twice.  I sent back the first CD because there was a skip in the song titled “No Time To Lose” which is the best song on the CD.  After I sent back the first one, I bought another copy of the same CD from the same vendor.  When I received the replacement CD, it had the same defect.  I will not order it again.


title: Christmas with Red Sovine / Jim Reeves: An Old Christmas Card

text: These are just 2 of my all time favorite singers and you need them to make any Christmas collection complete.


title: Great Bluegrass Gospel

text: Great tunes. Great lyrics. Great singing. Great instruments. I only have a couple of his gospel albums but this is the best of the ones I have. The first day I got it I played it four or five times. Just real pretty stuff with great words.


title: Love it, wish he'd put out more music!

text: Super excellent music and words. Sure wish he would put out more music. I have bought all he has published so far. Well thought out words and sound. Love it!


title: Great for anyone who drives

text: The argument for vegetarianism is made in a concise and easy-to-listen-to manner. The recording covers the health, environmental, human rights, and animal welfare arguments, and finishes with answers to the most popular questions that vegetarians hear.


title: Singer voice

text: While on vacation in Panama City Beach Florida this summer, I ran into Mr. Leon Martin in a parking garage.  We struck up a conversation and I found out that he was an entertainer.  He is actually in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.  After getting back home I found two of  his CDs and purchased them both online.  They are both really really good!!  He has a bluesy voice with some great rockabilly music. After listening to his CD's I could see why he was inducted.  Mr. Martin was such a joy to talk to and it was all a matter of being in the same place at the same time.  Is that just coincidence?  Maybe, but I believe all things happen for a reason.  Thank you Mr. Martin for tuning me into your awesome music!!!!!  It was so a joy to meet and talk with you.  Wow!


title: Not My Favorite

text: I picked this up at Goodwill. Thankfully, my money went to a good cause because I found the CD to be quite boring. While I had intended to play it while giving massages, I generally don't want my clients to fall asleep the instant they hit the table. I might hold onto it just to add variety to my collection, but I won't be playing it regularly.

title: Another Gonzo live CD from my collection

text: I have been an Uncle Ted fan since I was 6 years old and my older cousin gave me my 1st copy of Cat Scratch Fever on vinyl.  That's a record for anyone under 50. Lol!  In my old age I have collected many live Cd's. I saw this one and I don't have it! I said I have to try this. I am glad I did! I love new Uncle Ted but old Sweaty Teddy With the original lineup in the seventies is king.  Apparently this concert was after the release of the 1st album but early in the tour. Some of the intros and endings won't be exactly like you're used to from hearing other live Teddy stuff. The drum part on snakeskin cowboys is way different than what you're used to hearing. It makes you glad they came up with the final outcome later on. The entire concert is really good. The sound is really good. For the day! Sweaty Teddy and Derek St Holmes, Are dead on, on vocals and guitars! Cliff Davies Was one of the original cats that made me want to learn to play drums!  Rob Grange on bass, has to be one of the original funk brothers!  What a great set! Listened to through a great set of headphones or earbuds, takes you back to the capital center in Washington DC, 4th of July, 1977. Rock on Sweaty Teddy!! Definitely worth the price of admission 5 stars all around!


one of the best dvd collection I ever received. most end of days teachings leave me shanking my head. I have a good "b.s." meter and most teachings on this subject set off alarms. this one never set off one alarm. his telling of the 7 trumpets is great as well as who the lion, bear , leapord, and eagle are.


title: Better than most and great value...

text: Excellent casters for the money...


title: Your Kids Will Enjoy This, and It's Good for their Listening and Imagination Power .

text: I listened to this album a ton as a kid.  They don't make 'em like this anymore.  If you want your kids to appreciate great music, and develop good imaginations not dependent on visual images and computers, have them listen to these classic biographies, done in the old radio-show style.


title: Doesn't have everything, but has a lot. A good single disc introduction

text: Being a yank I did not grow up with Billy Fury's music - although I had heard "I Will" when young (Dean Martin's cover, which I have always loved, was the hit version in the States, not Fury's original). I heard more of his work through the years, and through YT and streaming I was exposed to more of it, but this was the first Fury album I have ever owned. It's a great introduction to one of Britain's greatest voices of the '60s, a man who should have been more known in the US but wasn't due to Larry Parnes' mismanagement. He was like the British Orbison, or like the missing link between Johnnie Ray (the biggest influence on Fury) and Tom Jones. This album is more heavy on the ballads than on the rockers, which is a good thing, because while Fury certainly could pull off uptempo R&R, he really had a genuine talent for emotional big ballads. This album is missing some crucial and essential tracks and it lacks any of Fury's late '60s material after the hits stopped, but if you're only going to own one Fury comp, this is the one to get.


title: '70s Toronto's best kept secret

text: As I did not grow up in or even near Canada  I never got to hear Goddo during their heyday, and it was thanks to YouTube that I first discovered them. Fantastically great '70s metal/hard rock with a rawness that was very ahead of their time. Definitely must have influenced Turbonegro and Primal Scream.


title: Excellent product

text: Thank you very good recommended product.


title: Great easy listening music

text: I heard this piano music at a bookstore and inquired as to who this artist was.  As a result I have now purchased 4 of his CD's and enjoy listening to them while reading.  It is very relaxing music and allows you to do other things like reading as you enjoy his music.  I plan to purchase some more of his CD's as they are very enjoyable listening.

text: I got just what i wanted. I came with a little gift as well :D

text: Very energizing music.


title: Not bad

text: Good singer but nothing exceptional


title: Perhaps my favorite guitar trio recording ever.

text: Nelson Faria literally wrote the book on Brazilian guitar playing (The Brazilian Guitar Book, Sher Publishing) and Nico Assumpção was probably the most recorded Brazilian bass player of his generation and is amazing on this set. Nico plays rock solid, grooving bottom, brilliant fills, and some of my favorite solo lines of any electric bassist. He comps behind the guitar using guitar-style finger-picking chords, while providing the bass line with his thumb. "Cor de rosa' is his composition, a gorgeous ballad that has become a Brazilian jazz standard and his "Pacu tatú cotia não" is a funk-flavored jam with a terrifically greasy guitar and bass melody. The covers are equally briliiant, choice Milton Nascimento and Jobim tunes. I was unfamiliar with the drummer Lincoln Cheib but he is wonderful on these tunes, slammin' and sensitive, whatever the music calls for.  I would love to see this recording be re-released and get the attention it so richly deserves. In particular, Nico's re-invention of the 6-string bass guitar is awe inspiring.


title: Little Known Treasure

text: If you liked Trower's "Passion" album, then you'll love this overlooked and little known treasure.  Add in the bonus of a couple of live tracks and you've got yourself some great listening.  Nice lineup and "The Voice"  went on my favorites list immediately.


title: Rock and rolla

text: I was in a band(Donner Party of Four) that played at the Funhouse a few times, and I saw friend's bands there. This is really cool punk and garage rock comp, if you're into that sort of thing. This is the real deal, lo fi, recorded in basements, etc. No slick NOFX or Pennywise s***.


title: A pair of favorites

text: What's not to like? The pairing of the brilliant composer with an equally brilliant tenor. It's a joy to hear such an intelligent singer bathing us in Richard Strauss's intelligent lied.


title: FANTASTIC ALBUM!!

text: I've been following T. Justice for years (a LOT of years), but this latest release takes his musical endeavors to a whole new level. The nuance and texture of this album is impressive. Highly recommend!


title: Five Stars

text: One of the best albums ever!


title: Love my Hoops and Yoyo!!

text: The CD came in perfect condition. I love Hoops and Yoyo. The songs are goofy and quirky like Hoops and Yoyo are. Their obsessed with food and coffee and are hyper. If you are a little kid that likes silly songs or are a silly kid at heart you might like it. Google them first and there’s enough online you can figure out before you buy.


title: Great price for 5 Classic Albums

text: Great price for 5 classic albums...very underrated band as not many young people have heard of them...you can see how the group went in a more commercial direction as you listen back to back...only need to purchase Rising, Difficult to Cure and Final Vinyl to get all the studio recordings


title: Gene Autry #1

text: The CD is much more than I had expected. The quality of the "old" recordings was very good with very low backround noise. The shipping from this supplier was faster than I expected. I highly recommend this supplier and will order more of these CD's in the future.

title: Five Stars

text: One of my favorite CD's.  Inspiring lyrics, beautifully sung.  Love the piano accompaniment.


title: Kinda fun to hear the Avett bros sing out of egregiously ...

text: Well. It didn't specify at the time that there are only 2 songs from this performance. Kinda fun to hear the Avett bros sing out of egregiously autotuned microphones. Should skyrocket in value next time Randy Travis buys cigarettes naked.


title: You can take the boy out of New York, but you can't take ...

text: Wonderful and imaginative arrangements. I have listened to the entire album at least 17 times but never tire of it. I wasn't interested in jazz until I got older, but this music is accessible and enjoyable by people of all ages. There is not a weak track on the album, but my favorite is the title track "10th Avenue". Although I am west coast born and raised, Patrick William's New York style rings a certain nostalgic chord in me. The math is simple: buy this album.


title: Great Music. Love it!

text: Another great Southern Sampler from the Oxford American.  Anyone that loves American music will have a blast with this CD.  I just wish I had the original magazine to go with it.


title: Luisito the great!

text: This CD is great.  When Luis A was in the performeing all these hits, I was very young and only appreciated his one song "Cuando Sali de Cuba".  Although this CD does not have this song, it has others that are quite nice.  You could really feel his energy while singing all those hits.  Although this CD is great, only one of his songs in it compares with "Cuando Sali de Cuba".  That would be "Juanita Banana".  I bought other CDs from him as well, but I cant quite find the CD with "Cuando Sali de Cuba".  I wonder why.  This is supposedly his best songs, but it is impossible to find it.  The one good thing is that I can still hear/see it on Youtube.  Hey, if any of the distributors out there that has the "Cuando Sali de Cuba" CD, let me know if I can order it.


title: Buy this music.

text: Great band. My first time listening to this band and I love them.


title: Very Relaxing Music

text: I looked everywhere for one of the songs on this CD by the Christ Church Choir. I got what I was looking for and then some.  I learned many new songs from this choir on this CD and enjoy listening to them.


title: Three Stars

text: I EXPECTED BETTER CONCERT INSIDE THIS VIDEO


title: A hard to find album at a fair price - Mostly as described

text:
This is a classic album that influenced a number of 90's artists, especially women artists like Tracy Chapman and Melissa Etheridge. It is well crafted and romantic/sexy in a non-cheezy way. I bought it on vinyl because its best to listen to this at least one side at a time, rather than thrown in a playlist with other artists, in my opinion.

I'm fussy about my vinyl, so I would have qualified this record as good rather than very good. That being said, it was professionally cleaned, safely packed and arrived within the time period promised. I would classify the seller as reputable/trustworthy.


title: Great comfort and assurance.

text: Comforting music.  Very satisfied with this CD.


title: Five Stars

text: All CD's so far play great w/o skips!


title: History Heard.

text:
It's quite a surprise to find this album, and to read the comments of others.  I can identify with them 100%!  It was the first album of the organ I bought as a teen in about 1961.  It quickly became scratchy from frequent listening and using a cheap stylus.  Somerset is/was an 'off brand', so as I got other albums and a little better equipment, I ceased playing it.
Well, here I am at 70 years, with new Bose speakers, and a new stylus for my Technics direct drive turntable, and curiosity made me get it out to see how it sounded.
Simply put, I was amazed!  Still scratchy?  Yes, but not as bad as I thought.  Performance?  Excellent and holds up against the modern organists as well as anybody.  Dr. Schneider was born in 1909 and it's a wonderful experience to be able to go back and  let his work live again -- at the age of 104!!
If you are into the history of the organ and the organists right down through that history, this is an album I'd recommend you acquire -- no matter the condition.


title: 18 n life

text: -this record was pretty simple.  its just a 45rpm with "18 and life" on one side and "midnight tornado" on the other.  if you like Skid Row this is a good pick for your Skid Row collection!


title: Two great concerts

text: Two great set-lists.  The first is a classic set by the original line-up of The Runaways.  The second is an early concert by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts.  She includes her early classics and a pleasant mix of Runaways' hits.  Both concerts complement each other and stand on their own.  A true testament to what might have been for The Runaways.


title: Farewell to the best.

text: I saw Kiss on this tour.  Thank you for immortalizing it.


title: Best concert by Ace.

text: The greatest Kiss concert played by Ace Frehley/Frehley's Comet.


title: Ok for 99c

text: 4 songs, not exactly worth it.


title: Takes two

text: Combine with volume 1, works well together.


title: best of red foley

text: liked all the songs on the cd. fidelity was excellent. great value for the money and quick shipping. very happy with the purchase and sure i will order from them again


title: Santana:  Africa Speaks is a great CD.

text: It was a birthday gift for my son.


title: the performances are excellent.

text: Though not stated on Amazon's page, this disc is an A-D transfer.  One track is in stereo and was recorded in 1956, when stereo was still a novel format.  The other eight tracks are monophonic and were recorded in 1955.  Naturally, as you would expect, the disc is quite pinched and sonically limited, but does have a remarkably low noise floor, suggesting a tape master, rather than a disc.  The engineers did a workmanlike job of transferring these recordings to digital.  However, they were hampered by the limited dynamic and frequency ranges of the original.  Otherwise, the performances are excellent.


title: In a word, I would describe the music as "cacophonous"

text:
I was also on a class trip to DC in 2003 and received a copy of this CD for free (maybe even from the artist himself).  It's terrible.  Even getting it for free was paying too much.  I'm almost willing to pay someone to take this off my hands!  Unfortunately, that would require me going back to my parents house, digging through boxes of things to hopefully find it, and then sending it to you along with whatever we agree on for the price.  Even then, it's still probably worth it just to be rid of this awful, awful CD.

I would give this CD zero stars, but Amazon won't let me.


title: Great Voice

text: I love this cd! Brett Raymond has an excellent, unique voice and I love his rendition of the songs. Don't let the cover fool you, it's a great cd!


title: Not a Alice Cooper Group real Sound!!!

text: This is the worst of the Alice Cooper group. The band hadn’t yet found their sound which was crafted by the producer Bob Ezrin . Cooper has no vocal style at all and the songs lack direction and continuity of their following recording efforts. Frank Zappa produced this album and pretty much told them to do their thing. The band left L. A. Under a cloud of shame. One review called this “ A Waste of Good Vinyl “!!! I’ve been a huge Alice Cooper fan since the 5Th grade in the early 70’s. When I found this in the discount record bin in 1976 I was thrilled!!! Only to find when I put it on my turntable that this sounded nothing like Killer, Schools Out, Muscle of Love or Billion Dollar Baby’s !!! All of which were done by the Alice Cooper group. It didn’t become just Alice Cooper until the Welcome to my Nightmare album which is an awesome piece of mid 70’s theme theatrical rock. Don’t waste your money on this and buy one of the following recordings that I mentioned. For me the Killer album is my favorite of all of them.

title: I love it!

text: [[VIDEOID:b9ed6b1c4a55053df2e59beaa61c7d68]] I love this album! The concept is so cute, and the songs are amazing. It came in great condition, there was nothing wrong with it, and it arrived very quickly. It only has 5 songs but they are amazing, and for the amount of stuff you get in it, plus the quality, it is totally worth the price.


title: Amazing

text: [[VIDEOID:232ba0bd5c36d8b0a06d09990342396]] Absolutely amazing, came in perfect condition. They honestly never disappoint, the songs are amazing and I love the packaging and concept. I always get a little scared to buy albums from Amazon because of fakes but this is the real thing. It's such a cool concept and I also think it's really cool that it glows in the dark!! You can also use the glasses it came with to look at some of the things in the album.

title: Mathis Is

text: The record was in excellent condition and I was very pleased with the timely delivery. I have been searching a long time for this album as I try to replace songs form the collection I once had years ago. Mostly hard to find songs from the 60's and 70's.  I love the voice of Johnny Mathis from this era.

title: This Rocks

text: Sounds great.  Very enjoyable listen.


title: Phenomenal band & music! As with Maynard Ferguson's legacy, it can be homaged, but NEVER replicated.

text: Pure Music's SQ is significantly higher than the first album (eponymous) because of the original (or lack thereof) tapes.  (Their best sound quality is found on the second album, "Ennea".  But it was never mixed to multichannel/Quad.)  This is made worse by the persistent board hum on the quiet parts of the first album. Otherwise this MUSIC IS FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY.  Some of the finest Lead Trumpet and virtuoso ensemble (including the four trumpet section work) you will EVER HEAR.  Bill was the heir apparent to Maynard Ferguson, whom William Russo (rightfully) proclaimed as the "greatest Brass player of the 20th century".  If you enjoy highly precise, focused and virtuosic Jazz Trumpet playing these recordings are for YOU!  Goes double if you're a fan of multi-channel surround sound!


title: Still a bargain at real world prices, which can be found IF YOU LOOK.

text: I believe in the free market but I have to think the price being charged here is just a put-on.  At least I hope it is anyway.  The preceding reviews are all excellent and I think they nail the cogent points.  These "Past Perfect" boxes are uniformly terrific and possibly might well be sourced from (*insert mega-conglomerate subsidized Jazz reissue monolith name here*).  One reason why is I don't think the German Music consuming persona (then or now) was likely to say to themselves:  "Ah, Ja, Ein Minternwertig CD reissue set of questionable Audio quality? Das Ist Ein Habenmussen!"  I just don't see that being a thing from the same culture that invented what eventually became "AMPEX" after we appropriated the technology post-war.  I think that tape hiss was overcompensated for until Sony came along with SBM and other technologies like CEDAR became prevalent.  Before that, most companies assumed that consumers would negatively react to hiss of any kind on their "perfect" sound medium.  Not so much as it turns out, but if you can locate a first-gen Sony issue of the second B, S&T CD its chaotic muting of the eight channels of audio stands as a testament to why that was a big mistake. This, by way of explanation, as the top end might, on occasion, be just a bit dry.  Folks who think early CD's are better are drafting off the largely true assertion about the same phenomenon with respect to LP's.  It was true for vinyl and very much UNTRUE for CDs.  Compression's a different issue and a complex one, but there's disinformation afoot there as well.  In short, buy this set if it's reasonably priced.  They weren't Mosaic-expensive when they were new, and that should be your North Star for how much you should pay now.  The Music is great.


title: Just pop for it already.  It's worth its historical weight in Gold.  No them, NO US.

text: Outstanding Historical document of Trumpet virtuosity in the pre-HIgh Fidelity era.  If you're a professional player, teacher or appreciator of Brass Music, you should have it in your collection.


title: Get the solo/small ensemble recordings.  Tolliver's efforts stand out better in that setting.

text: My standards for Big Band Jazz are high.  The priorities are too scattered/diffuse.  Tolliver functions much better in smaller ensembles.  The politics in Big Bands are murderous and have been made worse by post modern culture's over prioritizing the "awesomeness" of me, and that means nearly all of the "iconic" Art in the medium predates this Century.  Gordon Goodwin's a rare exception.  Everything else nearly always remains the unchallenged "Valhalla" where Ferguson, Herman, Kenton Rich, Basie, Ellington and a few others reside.  De-emphasize the band as a critical component and the whole suffers mightily.


title: Not quite the quality of the Original/Classic iterations, but fine in its own right.  You had to be there in '77 to understand..

text:
Okay, here's the straight dope on this recording.  I remember hearing it broadcast (and a friend of mine recorded it for me on his "High Fatality" Stereo on 8 track-I loved that tape until some jackalope sat on it when I was in College) my Senior year in High School on the local FM AOR station.  It was in support of the "Brand New Day" album.  " Nuclear Blues" (the best album they'd done since "No Sweat" coincidentally-and its Billboard figures mean exactly squat) was still two years into the future.  For disambiguation's sake, NB had a different (Canadian) lineup of HIGHLY gifted musicians.  Perhaps the most gifted Jazz players since "4".  But the instrumentation was very different and the style had more "funk" and latin influences introduced.  The Horn section consisted of two saxes and a trumpet.  (Monsters, though they were, they still sound two horns shy.)

This band wasn't as light on its feet as the Nuclear Blues band (or the original or Classic iterations).  I have great respect for the quality of the playing though.  What suffers is the respect those particular (very fine though) musicians showed for the "Legacy" charts that made the band famous.  DCT had a regrettable tendency to sing Hi-De-Ho like a Funeral Dirge.  (This makes it impossible for the Horn section to do the original charts justice.  A lot of it had to be taken down an octave and (like the old joke from Big Band musicians) left out.  Larry Willis is a fine pianist, but he tended to just fall back on loping Electric Piano riffs.  The worst thing I can say about it is during the "Classic" tunes, it tended to sound like a lounge act paying tribute to the original performances.  BUT, the "Brand New Day" touring material was "their own" and they sat up and paid attention to it, when THAT stuff was being played.  Brand New Day was a good record, but not really a "Jazz" (or Jazz-Rock, whatever the Hades that's supposed to mean) record.  So, if you LIKE the Brand New Day band.  Bargeron's patented KILLER Tuba solos are there in spades. So is his Triple high "A" (Concert pitch, I.E., he was playing the actual pitch-Double B natural on a Bb trumpet-that Trumpeter Lew Soloff screamed) on the end of Hi-De-Ho on the original recording.  But somehow the effect isn't quite the same because it was just pasted (plastered) onto the end of the tune.  I regard it with great nostalgic affection.  But it's not as polished as the original/Classic iterations were.  I think that was on purpose.  The late '70's weren't about polish, and that's a shame.  (Steely Dan's Aja might've been a lonely outlier at the time......)  Enjoy it for what it is.  Forgive it for what it isn't.


title: Not the greatest of the latter Kenton recordings, but still plenty to appreciate.....

text: The other Kenton LP that's never been released.  This one is not as much of an airtight "Classic" as "Wagner" was.  But that said, there's still PLENTY to appreciate.  Especially since Kenton was exploring this at the exact same time that B,S&T and Chicago (two of his stylistic/musical progeny) were being brought into the world.  Not every track is "GREAT", but there are GREAT moments.  It should be released on CD.  Buy the LP where you can find it and decide for yourself.  Bud Brisbois's work alone justifies the shelf space.


title: This seller went WELL above and beyond in helping me find a 1st rate copy of this album

text: I'm a "Tonight Show" Band completist and this record is surprisingly hard to come by in its stereo iteration.  Many thanks!


title: Imaginative Jazz with Populist undertones....and that's a GOOD thing!

text:
This CD was sent to me courtesy of a late lamented Sunday afternoon LIVE South Carolina music program the name of which I don't remember but that I used to listen to religiously (along with Audiophile Audition).  I'm assuming that Mr. "Don't cry for me, Argentina" wrecked it and nearly everything else about SC public radio and arguably the rest of the state during his stay.  (All I know is that with the exception of Marian McPartland's program SC PR is only the merest shadow of its former self, and that is a terrible consequence of the culture wars......)

I heard the track "Bold Lego" and "They Grab You" and both tracks are fearlessly inventive.  (One hint:  Bold Lego involves some rather creative sampling of justly famous Star Trek dialog.  Far more interesting than most sampling that's been done since, at least to my ear.....)  This music seems to almost be equal parts synth pop/musique concrete and Jazz.

I'm glad I have it and it will stay in my CD Library until I "Bold Lego" to my next life.  Thanks to SC public radio for their genorousity in helping me run down this recording.  I'd never have found it without their exposure.  I've been a member during the years since and I thank them for several shelves of truly great radio in my tape collection. Somebody please kindly see to finding the "Jazz" onswitch again now that Simon Legree has shuffled off to wherever he lives now.  The culturally diverse people of South Carolina deserve quality public radio once more.

The catalog number is (Label):  FAT CHANCE (Number):  102.  That leads me to believe that it might never have been in wide release.  Good luck finding a copy!  It's worth the search effort!


title: Hell YES!

text: I first saw these guys one night I was working the door at AS220 in Providence RI. I said to a coworker “I thought this was extinct!” Nope Mill City Rockers play epic heavy-blues-power ballad rock loud and proud. They sound like the glorious early 1970s never ended.


title: Great Voice - Great Back-up Band

text: The unique quality of Winehouse's voice pulls me in to want to hear more. There are a few songs that you want to listen to again and again (like Back to Black), but like most albums there are other songs that should not have made the grade. But this does not stop me from wanting to put on the CD. The Dap Kings do a tremendous job of rounding out Winehouse's voice to its best advantage.

title: Nice and gentle

text: I remember when I first bought the EP in 1983 and where I watched the vídeo clip! Nice and gentle!!!


title: Exquisite

text: There is almost 80 minutes of transcendent music on this recording.  Advent and Christmas music from multiple origins and eras.  If you love Christmas, or ancient and semi-modern music that will strike your soul, treat yourself to this CD.  I have amassed a lot of Christmas music over the years, and this is my favorite.  Hyperion knocked it out of the park with this one.  There's a lot of great music, some rare, that has been very well recorded and produced.  There is nothing not to love with this one.


title: Buried Gem

text:
I feel like this album, which I can best describe as a study in shifting moods, deserves at least one review.  It's one of my favorites, and every so often I find myself quixotically lamenting(how often do those go together) to a friend(or stranger) how one of my favorite albums is by a band which most have never heard of and which somehow officially disbanded despite its only members being a couple who still play together as another band, which somehow isn't just this band renamed.

Anyway, if you like any or all of Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Rush or similar bands, this one's for you.

There, the album has a review.  I never said it would be a very well-written review.


title: Five Stars

title: Great album. Horrible repress

title: Bach Two Part Inventions

text:
I like Simone Dinnerstein's playing a lot!  I have several other of her piano recordings.
My thought on giving it a 4-star rating is that you have to take Bach in little doses....or
I do.


title: classical guitar cd

text: Ms. Balboa is a very good guitar player;  this is my 2nd cd of her music.  Lots of very unusual<br />classical guitar pieces also, on this recording.


title: And Now the Party Begins!

text: This recording is worth every penny.  All the members of the band are wonderful jazz musicians and some are great singers.  The clarinet on the CD is played by the famous Chloe Feoranzo.  She is one of the best clarinet players that I have ever heard.  The rhythm on the record is provided by an old Gibson archtop (like Freddie Greens) very well chorded by Molly Reeves.  The trumpet is played by masterful Marla Dixon, who like Chloe is also quite a singer.  The trombone player in the band is Haruka Kikuchi, man can she play that thing.  Anchoring the record is the stand-up bass played by the skillful fingers of the tallest member of the group, Julie Schexnayder.  Last but not at all least is a beat created by the washboard and percussion maestro herself, Defne 'Dizzy' Incirlioglu!  Some of the women in this band have played to sold-out houses around the world, and it shows.  Great music from the 30's and 40's and astonishing creativity by everyone.  I recommend this record without equal or qualification!  My favorite recording of 2017!


title: Gari is a great storyteller!

text: Once again, New York City-based songwriter and performer Brian Gari (who just happens to be Eddie Cantor's grandson) has hit a home run. Each song follows a slightly different style, and each tells a great story. Gari's songs are more than just "pop" or "jazz." Each is a tip of the hat to composers of yore, while at the same time moving in a distinctly contemporary direction. And when he sings a song such as "Everyone Comes With Baggage," it goes straight to the listener's heart.

title: I hate the drum sound on this one.

text: I have all the B.Smoke albums and this if by far my least favorite (favorite being "Leave a Scar- Live".  I _hate_ the drum sound on this one and for some reason, the songs grate on me.  That's me.  You might like it.


title: 38 Goosebump-Inducing Tracks

text: I love Lara's voice. If you want an album with an entire spectrum of emotions, sounds, and languages, this is just perfect! I am sad to say that I had not heard of her until today, when I saw her name on a top chart with a French song attributed to her. I'm trying to touch up on many years of French and Italian studies. I immediately bought a digital album of hers, and I'm very glad I did so.  Wonderful voice, and she is in a way a direct vocal copy of Céline Dion, though I'm not sure who came first since they are close in age when I researched them. There is definitely nothing wrong with this "imitation of technique." Just like with most genres of vocal music, when someone figures out a way to access the entire range freely and convince us emotionally, why should one reinvent the wheel? I'm in awe of this lady's ability and artistry. The arrangements, lyrics, and instrumentalists used are also exquisite.


title: Don't throw away your money

text: It's such a good idea that it never ocurred to me that it would be so poorly done. The music is korny and the information no more revealing than any of the larger, more touristy and commercial organizations. I wanted "insider" information that would take me off the trail to a less crowded, more Hawaiian, Hawaii. Needless to say, it did not deliver.


title: great content. packaging, not so much.

text: the cd media was fine - no scratches, and the content is great (five stars). but the case was cracked in numerous places; the center piece that holds the cd in place was completely destroyed, so the cd was free to flop around inside the case (subtract one star). fortunately, the case is too small to allow much movement, so the cd wasn't harmed during shipment. i've since replaced the case.
