title: Upbeat Music From a Downbeat Life.

text:
Sonny Clark is one of the long list of fine jazz musicians who died too young.  He died at age 32.
Sonny, Tina Brooks, and others succumbed to the siren song of drugs and alcohol.  I became aware of Sonny because Bill Evans, jazz giant, composed a song entitled "NYC's No Lark" for his masterpiece, "Conversations With Myself."  If you spell this out, it an anagram of "Sonny Clark."  I'm sure that Bill and Sonny shared the dirty details of a lifestyle of  drug addiction that killed them both.  If Bill thought that much of Sonny musically, I decided to look further into Sonny Clark.
I found that Sonny had a few recordings as leader, including the great late 1950's dates "Dial S for Sonny" and especially "Cool Struttin."  Both of these are among the great hard bop recordings.
But the present recording is a trio.  It has the all-star drummer Max Roach and the bassist George Duvivier on bass recorded in 1960.
WARNING!!!!  There is another "Sonny Clark Trio" recording out there.  The other one is equally good, and has the wonderful Philly Joe Jones on drums and was recorded in 1957.  Make sure you know what you are getting.  Don't worry though, either one will satisfy. The major difference is that the 1957 date consists of recordings of standards, and this 1960 recording is original compositions by Sonny.  I'm sure that Bill Evan's admiration of Sonny was not just his piano playing, but also his compositional skills.  You are treated to many of Sonny's tunes, including "Sonny's Crip" and "My Conception."
ANOTHER WARNING!!!!  There are other versions of this recording out there which have extra, additional cuts of these tunes.  Get whatever version you can, but get this recording to enjoy jazz at it's finest.


title: Cannonball Is A Master At Popularizing Jazz

text:
When I attended Harpur College(now called SUNY Binghamton) in 1962, the star act in the concert that proceeded the spring prom was Cannonball Adderly's Sextet with Yusef Lateef on tenor.  I loved them!  Wow, what a change occured the next year.  Folk and rock music took over suddenly.  So much for jazz.
I say all this to emphasize the fact that Cannonball's reception in 1962 was warm.  He and his group not only played the best swinging straight ahead jazz, but Cannon used his warm personality to speak between numbers to explain and expound upon the meaning behind the music.  This is very different from many jazz musicians who were mute.  You were lucky if they announced the title of the song, let alone any other info.
On this recording, you get the live experience of Cannon and his groups recorded between 1967 and 1968 on Alan Grant's live radio broadcasts from the legendary Half Note club in NYC.  It is enjoyable music.  The quintet with Nat Adderly on cornet is on half the numbers, and half are by the quintet with Charles Lloyd on tenor.  Joe Zawinul ably mans the piano, and Sam Jones is on bass.  Roy McCurdy is on drums with the quintet, and Louis Hayes is on drums with the sextet.
I especially liked the quintet's romping version of "Fiddler on The Roof."
There is also one quartet number with Cannon and the rhythm section playing a lovely version of "Stars Fell on Alabama."
The sound is as expected on a radio broadcast.  And you have to expect some numbers ending abruptly before the group has finished, presumably to align with the air time of a radio station.
I found this recording in a cut out bin for a couple of bucks.  It was a good investment.  This same recording is also available released by a different label.  You can find reviews of it on Amazon.  The recordings are identical.
Cannonball fans, and any jazz lover, can't go wrong with this recording.


title: I have this great  recording on CD

text:
I got this CD almost a year ago on line, and I want to share the joy I feel about it.  It was one of my favorite recordings back in the day when I was a young man. However, when I search for it on Amazon and other web sites, I don't see it available on anything but LP.  If you love jazz vocal at it's best, I urge you to keep looking for it on CD.  It is one of the most delightful vocal jazz albums I have ever heard.
I hope you already know about the marvelous vocal duo of Jackie Cain and Roy Kral.  They are husband and wife, and recorded numerous albums in the 60's and 70's.  This was recorded in 1966.  Roy plays piano as well as sings.  The rest of the group is Don Payne on electric bass and Don MacDonald on drums.
You can rest assured that the overriding theme on this album is love, hence the title "Lovesick."
The tunes are wonderful.  Not all of them are well known.  But once you hear them sung by this duo, you will love them.
 They recorded many songs by legendary Great American Songbook composer Alec Wilder over their career.  This album is no exception, and includes 2 of his fascinating compositions: "Mimosa and Me," and "Such a Lonely Girl Am I."  Great performances.
You also get some standards, such as "Quiet Nights" and "Mountain Greenary" and Tadd Dameron's classic "If You Could See Me Now."
I am very selective when it comes to vocal jazz.  Jackie and Roy are one of my favorites.
(As a footnote, Irene Kral is the sister of Roy Kral.  Vocal genius must be genetic.  My nomination for the greatest jazz vocal recording of all time is the Irene Kral reoording "Where Is Love." If you can, experience this moody jazz classic.)


title: Mal and Ed Blackwell Shine In This Trio

text:
I consider this one of the great finds of my more than 50 years of  record collecting.  I picked it up in a $1 clearance bin in Asheville North Carolina.  I have owned another recording by Mal Waldron, the 1986 Village Vanguard group with the great Woody Shaw and Charlie Rouse.  Although many consider this Village Vanguard session to be a classic, I found it boring.  So I was skeptical of this recording. Now, I treasure it.
It was recorded in Japan in 1983.
Mal has an unusual piano style, quite unique.  I won't attempt to describe it, but suffice it to say it has elements of Monk, and many other pianists.  Mal's music can be brooding.  The final cut on this CD "Waltz For My Mother" falls under the emotion of brooding, and is a lovely performance.
And drummer Ed Blackwell also has an unusual style.  He has taken what I call an old fashioned New Orleans drumming style and turned it to a style suitable to play in the legendary early recordings of Ornette Coleman, Dewey Redman and Don Cherry.  Go figure!  If you can explain how a Baby Dodds New Orleans style of drumming lends itself to the avant-garde, let me know.  At any rate, it works.  Ed's bouncing, elegant rhythm fits in perfectly with Mal's deliberate, searching note choices.
I don't mean to neglect bassist Reggie Johnson.  He contributes fine accompianment, as well as good plucked and bowed solos.
This CD is a swinging, but controlled interpretation of jazz standards such as "Bag's Groove," "Billie's Bounce," and "Round Midnight."  There is great beauty contained herein.  These are mature artists playing at their best.


title: The recordings are good; the selection of songs is a combination of ...

text: This is a compilation of some 8-9 different jazz bands, all of them British I believe.  The recordings are good; the selection of songs is a combination of very traditional 'dixieland' songs and a few which are rarely heard--"Delia Gone," "Sur Le Pont D'Avignon," for example.  The musicians are good, they are up to the demands made on them, and play with deep appreciation of the music, if not always with a lot of passionate feeling characterized by other (and more recent) 'foreign' jazz bands: compare any of the 20 tunes here presented with, say, the Scandinavian band, The Magnolia Jazz Band, one of my favorite bands that always play with the feeling one immediately associates with either the New Orleans, West Coast, or Chicago bands past and present.  But an collector will be happy to add this set of Golden Oldies to his shelves of highly listenable music that while sounding canned occasionally falls pleasantly on the ear.


The 2 CDs arrived in good condition and on time.  Considering the age of the original recordings the sound is adequate but not good, certainly not by today's standards of remastered recordings.  But that's no one's fault.


title: Five Stars

text: She's a great singer


title: Important album for our time.

text: Absolutely brilliant piece of art!


title: If you like this album, PLEASE try listening to other tenors

text: When I was about 12 years old, my parents took me to see the Neil Simon film "Murder by Death."  Afterwards, my mother complained about what a bad actor Truman Capote was, and I can remember wondering to myself what she thought was so bad, since his acting seemed fine to me.  However, when I watch the same movie today, it's perfectly obvious to me that Truman Capote's acting is bad.  My point is that, even if you love Bocelli's singing and think that anyone who doesn't like it is a snob, you should try listening to other singers famous for their Verdi performances.  For example, check out Placido Domingo or Giuseppe di Stefano or even Enrico Caruso.  Don't listen with the goal of "proving" that Bocelli is just as good as they are; simply enjoy them.  Allow your tastes to grow and mature.


title: too expensive

text: used this CD when I started teaching 8 years ago...need replacement...63.00?  c"mon...get real


title: One Star

text: This was bought as a present, Norrmally I would not consider buying.


title: Out of His Side

text: This is a Country Music style Christian CD.  Both the lyrics and the music are positive and uplifting.  I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys Country sound and Christian lyrics.


title: Love the product

text: The album arrived early, brand new and just as seller described. My daughters are thrilled. Will definitely do business with seller again!


title: I love anything she does but this is one of he best.

text: I bought this for one song I could not find anywere on CD, found the whole album to be sensational. The song is NEVER MY LOVE.  Her version of it is chilling.


title: One of Steiner's Best Scores

text: Max Steiner at his best. The music highlights the film's action very well. It is rousing and a great listen contains twenty eight tracks of music.


title: Turrentine at his best

text: My favorite Turrentine album. The sidemen on this set are excellent and Mr. Turrentine's tenor sax is so melodius. A perfect Cd to chill with. The song selections are standards of the sixties. So enjoy thirty seven minutes of great music.


title: Early 20th Century Music

text: The music on this Cd fits the time period of the two movies perfectly. A pleasant listen


title: For Georgie Auld  Fans Only

text: This recording is very difficult to find. It is a Japanese  remastered import. It was recorded in the mid fifties.Georgie Auld's playing is great but it is almost drowned out by a vary lame chorus. Too bad! Unless you are big Georgie Auld fan, I would suggest a pass on this one.


title: It Must Be Vikki

text: Great overview of her career. CD includes her songs from the Matt Helms movies and Peyton Place. Great 60s nostalgia.


title: A Disappointment

text: This set is a big disappointment. It includes thirty six songs on two Cds. They all sound the same, like they were recorded in an elevator. The end result is a bland affair. Jorgen Ingmann had a long career, sadly he passed away in March 2015 age 89. Does not include APACHE for which he is known..


title: A Different side of Mr. Bernstein

text: For those of you expecting the typical Bernstein jazz cues will be disappointed. The music on this Cd is lush romantic music. It is orchestral in a classical vain. The series presented dramatic stories in a half hour format and the music reflects that quite well. I am sure that the music enhanced the dramatic action of each individual story but the cues stand out on their own. One does not need to know each story to enjoy  the music. I am glad that this 1959 album was released.  It clearly demonstrates  Mr. Bernstein's tremendous talent.


title: OK Easy Listening

text: The music on this Cd is sixties lounge and is quite good in its own way.  The drawback in my opinion, however is the excessive use of a string orchestra in the back round. Otherwise it is vary listenable. There are eighteen tracks on the Cd. Some of the more familiar songs include: I Say a Little Prayer, Up, Up and Away, Les Bicyclettes de Bslsize,, A Man and a Woman, Elenore,, Light My Fire and the title tune amongst other sixties songs.


title: Out of Print Gem

text: The re-mastering on this CD is incredible! Given that a number of the tracks were recorded over fifty years ago. This European recording is well worth seeking out. The music includes cuts from most of his U.S. released albums. A very enjoyable listen.


title: THOSE CALLOWAYS

text: The sound is excellent. The music reflects time and place of the story. One of Steiner's best of his later years. A pleasant listen for a family film.


title: 60's GUITAR

text: For me there is nothing like the full throtle sound Al Caiola gets from his guitar. It says the sixties. It brings back some great memories but even better is the music itself. Al's classics are here, Bonanza, Magnificent Seven, Apache among many others. The sound quality is great and the price is reasonable. So get your cd now. What are you waiting for? Enjoy!


title: Guys and Dolls Swing.

text: And that's what this cd does. The score by Frank Loesser is very common ground for jazz improvation. The session was recorded in October and November of '59 by some of the leading jazzmen in New York at the time. The list includes: Teddy Charles, Leader and vibes, Nicholas Travis trumpet, Teo Macero, Phil Woods, Zoot Sims saxophone, Bob Brookmeyer on trombone, Mose Allison, David McKenna piano, Aaron Bell bass and Ed Shaughnessy drums. The music is of its time without a hard edge but it swings!


title: Poor Audio , Good Music

text: It is too bad the audio transfer from the vinyl is poor because the music is good. The music is big band in dixieland style. Several of the tunes are standards that really cook. Overall I enjoyed the album but the sound quality could have been better.


title: Should be on CD.

text: It is a shame that this wonderful album has not been released on CD. The tone of Billy's horn is magical. I long for a digital version but I guess that is not to be. So we will have settle for vinyl. This album is a real lost gem. Best get it while available.


title: 60's instrumentals

text: Anyone who remembers listening to AM radio in the sixties will recall these songs. I hope they bring back good memories for you as they did for me.


Dr DAvid Jeremaih is a great speaker on The Bible led by the HOly Spirit, his humour is very human and funny. We all at times give rise to being laughed at or with. Thank you Dr Jeremaih


title: Fabulous singer singing fabulous music.

text: Fabulous voice and engaging personality. Having the audience fully engaged was delightful.<br />Almost every song is a highlight.


title: Really Good Muscis both lyrics and accompanyment

text: Judy's voice is extraordinary and her guitar excellent.  The best part are the lyrics and compasssion and social responsibility in each song.  I have lost track of her, but she is the best artist I know in the folk genre --- you should find and listen to every disc/cassette that exist.


title: Good music.

text: Classic !


title: which made the entire product useless.

text: I received this and it had two of the same cd's in it. So I was missing one CD, which made the entire product useless.


title: Worst CD Ever

text: Having been a Ry Cooder fan for many years, this was positively the worst CD I have ever had. My only regret is that I didn't look at the reviews prior to purchase.  Not  worth the plastic it's on or in.


title: Amazing

text: I can't stop listening to this album.  It is beautifully painful, deeply emotional, enrapturing...  I haven't heard an album this amazing in many, many years...


title: Five Stars

text: could remember the song house of the rising sun back when i was a kid back in the 60's

title: One of My Favorite CDs of All Time

text:
If you are looking for that musical-spiritual experience that transcends the material world - you may well want to own this CD and listen to it daily. It has the ability to pull your thoughts into those inner pockets of quiet and peace. If you really foucs on the words and the music it is almost like a meditation. It can draw you out of your worldly moods and into something every special.

The music is more than music - it is prayer and poetry!


title: great gospel

text: I had worn my cd out of hierline. I see jesus. So glad to find it again. .  Enjoyed good gospel mudic lifts the spirit and encoursges.


title: FROM THE HEART

text:
Double CD album with 107 minutes of kirtan and satsang featuring Shyamdas as lead vocalist and playing harmoniun, supported by fans and attendees at his annual Bhakti Immersion retreat; plus, Tulsi on Pakhavaj and second vocals, Adam Bauer on bass guitar, and Tommy Be on Kanjira. Unless you are a Shyamdas fanatical fan all that probably means nothing.

FYI, Shyamdas is similar to Krishna Das aka "K.D." but his voice is deeper and rougher like a gravel mixer and he doesn't have the vocal range of K.D. but he has the same conviction and spirituality. If I had to choose between Shyamdas and K.D., I would choose K.D. without hesitation or contemplation. However, I regularly listen to this double album because it is spiritual and uplifiting. It is a live recording of a spiritual event that Shyamdas annually conducts at the Ananda Ashram in Monroe, New York.

This is kirtan from the heart not just a concert to make some money.


title: George and Guitar

text:
Self-produced, 15-track album released during 1994 by Strawberry Records features George and an acoustic guitar on 12-tracks and electric guitar on the other 3-tracks. All the songs except two were composed by George. The last two tracks --- I Don't Wanna Do It, and If Not For You --- were written by Bob Dylan. George is solo, without supporting musicians on all the tracks. It is like being with him at his home studio as he casually performs.

If you are a George fan then you will enjoy this album. I gave it four stars because there are better albums by George but that does not mean it is bad. This is an intimate, introspective album. It doesn't rock. I have the feeling George was recording for himself and wasn't thinking about sales and certainly not fame. It may be too sparse for some people but it certainly puts George on equal footing with John and Paul.


title: Old Beats

text: Armani Exchange (stores) present DJ Frankie Knuckles in this 2003 release which previously and originally was released in England during 2002 by Freetown Records of London. So, these are 2001 - 2002 beats and unfortunately  far from contemporary "house" sound, which Frankie pioneered during the 1970s. None of the eleven tracks are noteworthy unless you are a superfan of Kerri Chandler. But, the basic problem is that Frankie never arcs the BPMs and so this album monotonously moves from track one to eleven without taking you higher. I guess Frankie Knuckles fans will want this historic memento but house fans should save their money for better albums.


title: Stormie CD

text: After reading Stormie's story, I came to love and adore her. So, anything by Stormie Omartian is for me !!! This CD is great. I've nearly worn it out.

Love the music and soundtrack.  Makes me want to see the play again.

Good listening music.  A gift you can keep enjoying.


title: WONDERFUL ARTIST!

text: Larry Adler could make the harmonica sound like any other musical instrument in the world. He did so with class,style and extremely rare talent. He was an outstanding and mesmerizing virtuoso. Those who have never heard him have missed a wonderful musical performer.


title: DESTINATION KAPLAN!!!!

text: EXCELLENT SOUNDTRACK, CAN,T WAIT TILL THE MOVIE COMES BACK ON TO TV, KAPLAN AT HIS BEST..WOULD RECOMMEND...THANKS.


title: SOUNDTRACK

text: REALLY NICE SOUNDTRACK FROM A FORGOTTEN MOVIE, AND IF I MUST SAY SO, FORGOTTEN COMPOSER...LEIGH HARLINE, WHO COMPOSED SUCH CLASSIC SCORES EG."THE ENEMY BELOW"..."BROKEN LANCE" ETC. TRULY AN "ALL ROUNDER" OF A COMPOSER.


title: The first record I ever bought

text:
I bought this via mail order (I think they must have had a tv commercial during the early 70's).

Chock full of great funny novelty songs.

You can't go wrong if you can somehow find this.


title: Solid album, but not their best

text:
Capsule tend to be hit or miss with me. So far they've only made one record I can say I love all the way through, but this one comes close. It's a brief but engaging electro-pop dance-fest. Stand-out tracks are "Eternity", "Get down", and "Electric light Moon light".

Bonus: The cover and inlay are holographic. The packaging is certainly striking.

text: Tyler Bryant suggested this album when he was interviewed by Captain Lee Anderton.  He was right.  To my ears, this is good blues.  Alan Haynes should be more well known.


title: Not quite as good as I was hoping

text: I finally got this used for a decent price - under 30 bucks. I would suggest the same to anyone in the market - don't but this new for 100$ plus - that's just too much. Most of these songs appear on the earlier Balzac demos - and I would suggest the "Birth of Hatred" disk which contains these versions. Nonetheless, I like Balzac a lot and am glad to add this to my collection.


title: Japanese Horror Punk Crushes you like Godzilla

text:
First heard Balzac on the Misfits/Balzac split and thought they sounded pretty good. Took me awhile before I decided to explore them on their own, and I am so glad that I did. I will try not to repeat too much what other reviewers have said, but its hard not to.

Their sound is interesting and mixes punk and metal. Some of their songs reminded me of Motorhead - Psyche Dungeon and Black Sunday III, some reminded me a bit of the Exploited - Monster I and Space Vampire. I heard echoes of Chron Gen in The Human Blood, Deep and Space Vampire which reminded me of the Chron Gen song Breakdown - I think the combo of certain musical chord changes and catchy vocal harmonies is what hit this switch. The song Violent Paradise sounded a lot like the song Dressed to Kill by the Ejected.

 But these guys are by no means copycats or derivative of earlier bands - this includes the Misfits or Samhain - they use a lot of "Go"s and "Whoa-Oh"s in the chorus' but beyond that they don't sound a lot like the original Danzig bands. The lyrics are hard to interpret - seems to be a combo of somewhat broken and Japanese sounding English mixed with actual Japanese language - I have to try to find lyrics online somewhere.  But being a heavy anime fan, I am not bothered at all by that - a lot of the anime intro and outro songs are like this as well.

These guys rule and I will get all their full albums and may dive into singles, but I will not become a hardcore collector of every pressing or merchandise - that would be a monumental task as you can see if you go to fiendcollector.com.

All songs on this disk are great, but personal favorites are : The Human Blood, Black Sunday III, Deep and Space Vampire. Also there is an unnamed track 13 that is cool as well. I think that this has become my favorite band of the moment and they will continue to rank high for some time to come. Few bands deserve a place next to my Misfits/Samhain/Danzig collection, - naturally Misfits 2.0 and Doyle, but also the Undead, the Necros and now Balzac. As far as successful Japanese bands that have crossed over into having a world wide audience, Balzac has to be number one, and deservedly so. Now if you will excuse me I am going to go and enjoy the Legacy in my Psyche Dungeon of this Deep musical Violent Paradise In Silence Noise with No Resistance Isolation.


title: Basically Punk and Disorderly Comp with alot of extra live material

text:
I didn't realize when ordering this set of 10 disks that so much of it was live recordings. I prefer the original studio versions and was disappointed to a degree. Disks 1 and 2 are live recordings from the Holidays in the Sun concerts from '96 and disk 5 is named "Punk Live Classics". The rest of the disks are studio recordings. Disk 3 is named "Punk and Disorderly" and utilizes many songs from the original compilations that go by that name - compilations that I have already heard and own - this disk would have been the most enjoyable if it wasn't for the fact that I have already heard all the songs on it.  Some of the songs on the original Punk and Disorderly Compilations are also scattered amongst some of the other disks. Disk 4 is named "Punk Covers" and I have never really liked bands doing cover songs.

Disk 6 is named "Punks in Protest" and it was enjoyable - some Punk and Disorderly songs, but also a few good ones I hadn't heard before such as "Hate the Law"- Riot Squad, two songs by the Varukers and "Die with Dignity" by Violators.  Disks 7 and 8 are named "Punk Indie Chart Hits Vol. I and II" - they also utilize a lot of the Punk and Disorderly songs (the ones that appeared on the Indie Charts in the UK) - a few songs stood out that I was unaware of such as "Action Time Vision" - Alternative TV, "Meglomania" - The Blood and "Its Corruption" - The Undead (not the American Bobby Steele band)..

Disk 9 is named "Extreme Punk" and this is my favorite disk out of the bunch.  The songs are heavier and more vulgar than what's contained on the other disks. "Hate" by Chaos UK was great, English Dogs where interesting - sounding like a hybrid of street punk and metal. The notorious Chaotic Discord have two songs on this disk "Punk Aggression" and "Destroy Peace N' Freedom". A good disk overall.  The last disk is named "Punk Pay Tribute" and they are songs about specific people or characters.  This disk overall is forgettable but I did like "Houdini Charms" by the Suburban Studs, "Lord Lucan is Missing" by the Dodgems and "Elvis is Dead" by Peter and the Test Tube Babies (this ones pretty hilarious).

I bought this set used and it was as good as new - didn't pay too much so that was good.  If you are like me and don't really want a bunch of live recordings, especially from later years (96) - just order the Punk and Disorderly compilation put out in recent years by Cleopatra records and maybe the "Extreme Punk" and "Punks in Protest" disks from this set, without buying the whole thing.  I guess I'm ok with having the entire box set but really I probably will only listen to a few of the disks regularly.


title: Reissued Bulldozer will save you big bucks

text: This is great. Bulldozers first album sounds like a combination of Venom and Bathory. If you like the old school black metal buy this album - but I would highly suggest buying the reissue by FOAD records for a fair price - around 35.00 as opposed to the original Road Runner issue that will cost you about 150.00. In this case there is no real reason to prefer the original release over the reissue unless your a hardcore collector - if you just want the music buy the reissue. For awhile the original was the only one for sale at 150.00 and I considered shelling out the cash. Thankfully by the time I decided to purchase this the cheaper reissue was offered for 35.00. Thank you seller!


title: K-Tel your friends about this compilation

text:
At a time when most so called Heavy Metal compilations where still collections of Hard Rock songs from the 70's, or glam metal compilations, K-Tel put out this excellent Thrash compilation in 1988. The tracks are as follows:

1. Mistress of Pain - Death Angel
2. Hell Awaits - Slayer
3. Powersurge - Overkill
4. Justice - Nuclear Assault
5. Skull Beneath the Skin - Megadeth
6. Chemi-Kill - Exodus
7. Hammerhead - Flotsam and Jetsam
8. Over the Wall - Testament
9. The Assassin - Trouble
10. Set Me Free - Heathen

I first obtained this compilation on cassette tape around 1990 and it was the first place I heard most of these bands (except Slayer, Megadeth and Flotsam and Jetsam). I have since gone on to purchase the albums containing all of these songs with the exception of Trouble and Heathen - which in all honesty are not that great compared to the other bands. This compilation was ahead of its time in terms of mass distribution (I purchased it in a shopping center). It has a special thanks to "Mega Don" who was probably the informed party whom put this song list together. This is in my opinion the finest album that K-Tel ever put out (which isn't saying a lot). Mistress of Pain remains my favorite Death Angel song and Powersurge remains my favorite Overkill song. Even though I have all these songs on their respective albums I still had a yearning to replace the old cassette with a disk, as I remembered it fondly.

title: Give Him Up Marcia ... He Ain't All That!

text:
The film opens with Marcia (Joan Crawford) waiting for her date Sherry (Robert Montgomery) to pick her up for dinner. He was supposed to pick her up at 7:00. At 9:00 Marcia says To Hell with All This and crawls into bed. Of course, he eventually does show up. He bursts into her room (because people didn’t lock their bedroom doors in those days) and she tells him that it’s over and to get out!

Or at least that’s how it -should- have played … but that would make for a short movie.

Instead, he gets her out on the town for dining / drinking / dancing. We see that Sherry is a very popular person and something of a “ladies’ man”. He never sits still and wants to hit as many clubs / parties as he can each evening. He’s not the type to settle down!

He’s also not a man to trust around your wife. Marcia and Sherry run into Jim (Franchot Tone) while they are at the bar. Sherry woo’d Jim’s wife Diana at some point and she left Jim for him. Then Sherry grew tired of her and now she’s married to some British aristocrat. Jim hasn’t forgiven or forgotten.

That’s why it’s something of a surprise that Sherry kind of proposes to Marcia later that evening.

We don’t see the wedding, but we see Sherry working his magic with some nubile young woman he runs into at the beach on their honeymoon. See, a leopard just doesn’t change its spots.

Later, back in New York, Marcia has made plans to spend the weekend in the country. Grandmother Fanny (Edna May Oliver) and family friend / perpetual drunk Edgar (Charles Ruggles) joins them … but Sherry is distracted by someone who was supposed to be Edgar’s date – Theresa (Gail Patrick). Marcia, Fanny, and Edgar make the train. Sherry calls Marcia at their country house and lies to her about staying in town for the evening so he can take Theresa out for a spin. Marcia knows it’s a lie and confronts him the next day.

This is where Joan displays her talent for slapping!

Anyway, Marcia has a plan to get even with Sherry. She throws an impromptu party and invites women Sherry has had flings with and men who have been affected by those flings.

Wouldn’t you like to know how it goes?

This is a fairly pleasant film with some frustrating moments. I failed to see how Sherry is such a catch. He should have been thrown to the curb long ago; but I know it was a very different time back then. Adrian, Joan’s favorite gown designer, went a bit over-the top with Joan’s collars in this flick. In one scene her dress had a -square- collar, and in another she wears this big bizarre rigid bib/ funnel thing. It looks like she could’ve dumped her dinner on the flat part then held it up so it would slide down into her mouth. What was he thinking?

And on a random note … Does anyone in this silver screen universe -ever- finish a drink? The bartender pours a cocktail, the players touch the rim of the glass to their lips, then they’re off to the next thing.

Overall I’ll give this film a … *shrug*


title: Meatloaf  A Bat Out Of Hell is  so SUPERB!!!!

text: What an album! I would definitely recommend  this one to anybody. Classic rock never dies!  This one is undoubtedly the proof of that! You can find this on Amazon Prime Music classic rock. The price is very reasonable. Get one today and start reliving  the past, the music and the fun!


title: The Very Best of Jethro Tull  is quite frankly -pretty damned GOOD!!!

text: Ah Jethro Tull!  Spin me down a tale from my youth. Block out all the lies and show nothing but the whole dang truth! Boys and girls. Brothers and sisters from all over the world  everywhere. If you want good music to entertain you, to challenge you, to make you think about more than just yourselves, I  do invite you to pick up on and plug into  this wonderfully talented  band. Ian Anderson will intrigue you time and time again with his songs and his very saavy flute  {yes I said flute-just wait you will see!} playing. It is very different indeed but oh so .., very  damned GOOD!!! Really now go find anything about Jethro Tull  on Amazon Prime Music classic rock. There are albums, 45 singles, cds, and cassette tapes to choose from. Go ahead Bungle In The Jungle, with Locomotive Breath, you might find yourself Skating Away, Living In The Past, and as Thick  As a Brick. Any way you  go-you can not lose!


title: A GREAT evening in the theater!

text: I had worshipped "Follies" from afar ever since it opened on Broadway in 1971; but it took me exactly forty years  -- until 2011 -- for me to catch up with it on the stage, at the Kennedy Center in Washington. (I live in York, Pennsylvania; the moment that this production was announced, I resolved that nothing but a bullet in the brain would keep me from it). From the instant that those four thunderous chords began the overture, I was in heaven, as was everyone in the (very large) packed house. "Who's That Woman?" got the loudest and longest ovation I've ever seen for a single number in a musical; but the heights of ecstasy were reached when the inhumanly gifted Linda Lavin sang "Broadway Baby". I've never in my life been so thankful that I brought opera glasses with me to the theater, so that I could see her face in detail. This wasn't a woman singing a song; it was a human being, representing our entire race, defiantly crying out her love of life, and hurling it in the face of Death (which the character Hattie knows is fast approaching). "You may take me, but I did what I loved, and made the best possible use of my years on Earth, and you can never take that from me! Take that, Enemy!" A religious/philosophical statement encapsulated in a theater song! How often does THAT happen in a lifetime? At intermission, the attractive middle-aged lady sitting on my right said "You really seem to be completely into this show. Just like me." We had a pleasant conversation, and I mentioned that I had driven two hours to see it. She laughed. "I'm afraid I've got you beat. I flew in from Denver." And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is what theater at its best is all about: a medium for understanding the human condition that can draw people halfway across a continent, to share in the joy of revelation with a crowd of people who are strangers, and yet not strangers at all. As a Christian, I have seen some of the most important proofs of God's grace at the theater, as well as at films, concerts, and museums. God bless you, Stephen Sondheim, as well as every man and woman who's brought your work to life.


title: Three great guys.

text: I had been looking for years for this recording.  Not the best of singers, but love the music and the memories.


title: maybe you can

text: If a person has desire and persistence, I think this CD would teach them. I gave up after a week, because it wasn't something I wanted to put all the effort into.


title: Five Stars

text: Quick delivery.  Item as described


title: simple

text: I bought this CD many years ago. Recently when I went looking for it, I found the case with no CD inside. I searched for it, along with any new ones on the market. I found that I still liked this one best. It does not promise the world and then fail to deliver. It simply helps re-set your appetite so you can get on with life.


title: Perfectly wrapped

text: Brand new and wrapped for safe shipping.  A replacement jewel case was included because the cd case was cracked (very thoughtful)!  Would buy from this seller again.  Appreciate the hand written not.  TY

title: My new favorite nap time CD

text: Loved it! Just the right songs to keep my toddler class asleep during nap time.


title: Film Noir Blues

text: This cd is a magnificent soundtrack of classic film noir blues.  Many of the pieces are piano and clarinet, only: They are haunting, visceral, moving numbers.  Worth every penny.

title: Wonderful Memories

text: Instantly brought me back to my teen years and High School dances. I so enjoyed the music of the 50's and 60's.


title: Lovely husky warm voice.

text: I like the songs on this album. I have been watching translated videos of them on the Internet. The band he is in is Korean, this album is in Korean and you can get translated lyrics on line for the songs. I like the Band FT Island, just wish they sold more of their Japanese albums on Amazon as well as the Korean ones. I am not young and a fan of Lee Hong Ki (Gi). The band seems to work to appeal to an international audience.


title: Great futuristic video

text: Love this in Japanese. Have been watching the translated Korean version on the Internet. Learning Japanese helps even when listening to non native speakers. The theme of the end of the video reminds me a bit of the story of the Steadfast Tin Soilder. It is lovely melancholy romantic. Includes futuristic themes of AI robots and possible ability to love. Very cool. Do not care much for self destruction, even if it was not total. Drama. Video fit with the theme of the song. Disc played well in my American DVD player.


title: A solid e.p. of Beatles songs not on any other release, so essential to own on vinyl

text:
Better than the Love Me Do reissue, and nice to own. It has its own vibe, all hard rockers from their days sweating it out four sets a night, 7 days a week, in Hamburg, flying high on tea, coffee, and amphetamines. Their first e.p, which had new material not found elsewhere. "I Call Your Name" was new, but has that rock club sound. Their version of "Slow Down" annihilates Larry Williams version, "Matchbox" is all Ringo, and "Long Tall Sally" might not match Little Richard, but gets damn close.

Will we get some interesting re-issues in 2015, I wonder?


title: Beautiful music!

text: Very beautiful!


title: We started listening to this every year at Christmas when ...

text: We started listening to this every year at Christmas when our son was little.  He is 21 now, but the whole family still likes to hear this every Christmas!


title: Out of sight

text: I've purchased every JD album since the beginning. Yes, theses are previously released songs but every "compilation" I have has a song I haven't heard! I'm still waiting for someone to include " The Healing Song (Let the River Run). As of now, the only place you can hear it is youtube. It's not recorded in a studio but at a concert. It's in the top 5 in my opinion. Buy


title: Godly!

text: In "Legacy of Hope", Deborah Klassen's quality of voice, her professional delivery, the instrumentation behind the lyrics, the recording mix . . . ALL bring many great hymns of the Church into the 21st century.  Expect the same quality of delivery, instrumentation and recording on all of her CD's.  Anointed by God is a good description of her music.


title: great music

title: Total crap!

text: It sucked.  Kieth should be ashamed for allowing this crap.  B.


title: Wonderful

text: Great cd of spiritual songs perfect for children. (And adults!)


title: Outstanding recording

text: I actually bought this album around 1961 new and still have it. The sound quality and selections make it seem like each side is finished in  just a few minutes. Very well done.

Five Stars


title: loved the harmonies.

text: love these guys!  And I usually am not a great fan of country!


title: Five Stars

text: Great ealy Waits in concert. Good quality sound


title: WOW!

text: WOW! The sound may not be quite as overwhelmingly full as what you hear from Chailly and the Concertgebouw, but this is an exciting, vibrant M5 with the Finnish brass section leading the way. There is no shortage of great ones out there-- Shipway, Levine, Chailly, Segerstam and Bernstein/Vienna for starters--but this one really rocks and deserves consideration as one of the most exciting and best-played of all. There's emotional crunch to the opening Funeral March, II and III lift off spectacularly, the Adagietto is more idyllic than tear-stained (if that agrees), and every conceivable flag is unfurled as the symphony reaches its conclusion in V. The American Record Guide (which I write for) has always rated this among the best, and I would concur.


title: Wimpp City!

text: Soft-grained, wimpy Mahler will never do, and that's what we get here. Movement I is just remarkably inert, II has no real swing, I hear no ethnic flair in the klezmer interlude in III, and by the time the Concertgebouw brasses unfurl the flags in IV, it's too little too late. The amazing sound winds up working against the performance, as there can be no missing the utter lack of interpretive pizzazz when the sonics are so clear. What a mixed bag the Chailly Mahler cycle became! I and 3 are absolute duds, 2 and 8 are just okay, 4, 5 and 7 are very good, 6 gets lost in the shuffle but boasts awesome hammer strokes and is pretty good overall, and 9 is the stunner of the lot. Talk about your ups and your downs!


title: This Gets Lost, and Shouldn't!

text: I see only one review of this version of Beethoven's "Triple", and that's odd because it deserves a lot more attention than that. I have blown hot and cold on Harnoncourt releases over the years. He can be way too punchy for me, with his period performance sensibilities often crowding out the juiciness of the music. But he was possessed of a probing intellect and a whole lot of ability. And when he was "on", he was very much worth hearing. The Schumann "Peri" he recorded is terrific. His Mozart with Lang Lang is excellent, and this joins Fricsay, Karajan (with Mutter, Ma and Zeltser) and maybe Zinman (my jury is still out) on the top rung. True to form, the conception is brisk and sleek, but the players sing their hearts out, there's brio to burn, and the clarity always demanded by the maestro works its magic on this Beethoven score. This is also one of the best recordings of the "Choral Fantasy" from our own day. The "Rondo" makes for a particularly useful filler. If you love Beethoven, run don't walk.


title: One of the Very Best Couplings in the Ashkenazy Set!

text: Don't hesitate here! This 23 is one of the very best ever; sparkling, energetic and effervescent without the undue haste you find in other Mozart 488's, like the jackrabbit Movement 1 Horowitz gave us with Giulini at the helm. Ashkenazy has it all, including bright, eminently flattering sound. Ashkenazy's K595 is more brightly animated than you sometimes hear; a different take than the more poetic accounts we get from the likes of Curzon, Perahia and--above all--Gilels. (What ravishing playing!) I really like Ashkenazy's way with the music and--again--the 38-year-old engineering sounds splendid. With the prices on display here, I wouldn't dream of passing this up!


title: Medium-sized Mozart at its best.

text: Period sensibilities, but modern instruments--handsomely played-- with vibrato included. Medium-sized Mozart at its best.


title: Three Stars

text: Pretty enough, but the Requiem is a bit limp. Shaw, Equilbey and Dutoit are better by far. Pass.


title: Variable Set, Great 3

text: I don't love all of Jarvi's Dvorak. 7, 8, and 9, in particular, have been done better elsewhere. But I really like his 6 and this 3. Lots of joy, lots of zing, and nice engineering to boot. This, I think is the MHS pressing. It's on Chandos as well. If you want a nice performance of an underrated symphony, this is just the ticket.


title: Like It But Don't Love It

text: Good Mahler, but not great Mahler. Chailly, who was recorded around the same time if memory serves, stays in the memory longer. Levine in Philadelphia was extraordinary if you can find it, and I really like Leif Segerstam who was caught in amazing sound by Chandos. Gatti is good, but gets lost in the crowd.


title: John and Yoko's first collaboration.

text: TWO VIRGINS was first released by Apple Records in the U.S. on November 11, 1968. It beat THE BEATLES (a.k.a. the White Album) by 11 days, and anticipates Revolution 9 on that album. TWO VIRGINS is a performance, but it is not music. The tape loops John had been recording with the help of Peter Shotten come into play as John and Yoko (an established avant-garde artist by that point) improvise a collage of sound over the course of one night in May 1968. The album has a long track on each side running about 30 minutes total. Recordings by Guy Lombardo and Fred Douglas play in the background at certain points. John and Yoko talk, scream, and mess around with the tape loops in the recording studio in John's home. The feel is improvisational and low key except for Yoko's startling vocalizations. Yoko and the loops both appear on Revolution 9, although in a shorter and tighter arrangement assisted by George Harrison. Even now TWO VIRGINS is not an easy listen, and at times feels like an endurance contest. I consider it John's first deconstruction of his Beatles persona, and Yoko's first access to popular media. I find the album very funny in its repudiation of the music John was world famous for doing. This release has a bonus track of Yoko's Remember Love, the B side of Give Peace a Chance. Recommended to fans of the avant-garde and to hardcore John and Yoko fans.


title: Great 1968 pop album.

text: I first heard this group in 1994, and was glad I caught up with them. The group has a lush sound and strong material on their debut album issued by Buddah Records in 1968. Their cover of Jimmy Webb's "Worst That Could Happen" (first on the 5th Dimension's The Magic Garden LP) hit top 40 on the Billboard pop singles chart in early 1969 and rode it up to number 3. It was their only top 40 hit on Billboard. They are not well represented on CD. You need to hear their first two vinyl albums to understand why they matter. Arrangement and production are tops. "Blessed Is the Rain" is as good as 'Worst," and other strong tracks include "Welcome Me Love," "Which Way to Nowhere" (another Webb song), and "Your Kite, My Kite" (a Tony Romeo song, great sunshine pop). The gatefold cover is a delight. Recommended to late 60s pop fans who have a turntable.


title: The only Climax CD you'll need

text: This generous (nearly 80-minute) bootleg selection of Climax's material includes all of the group's only album, issued in 1972. The song "Precious and Few" (charting number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, going top 40 the week of January 22, 1972) is the best remembered Climax song, but "Life and Breath" also received airplay. Lead singer Sonny Geraci was formerly with the group the Outsiders, best known for "Time Won't Let Me" (top five in early 1966). Climax proves it is more than a one-hit wonder band with this CD, which includes 26 tracks total. In addition to the two songs I mentioned, outstanding tracks include "Face the Music," "Changes," "Caroline This Time," "Rainbow Rides Are Free," and "Rock and Roll Heaven." Surprisingly, Geraci's vocals reminded me at times of Elvis Costello's, although they have very different material. The heavily produced MOR (middle-of-the-road) style is apparent on the soft rock tracks, but at times the band gets funkier and closer to hard rock. The album has no CD booklet information, but it does deliver the music. For that, I highly recommend it.


title: The original albums exactly as issued!

text:
The most generally available CD version of "Seamless" alters tracks, which ruins it as a concept album. This version (2fered by Attic Records in 1992) has the original lineup of songs, which is this:

1) Oo We, Oh Me, Oh My
2) Take Me to Your Heart
3) Remember (Walking in the Sand)
4) This Boy
5) Stepping Stone
6) Combat Zone
7) Perpetual Emotion
8) Samba, Samba
9) The Stars Are Ours

The 1990 Windham Hill CD puts "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Up on the Roof" (from the Nylons' debut album) on its CD issue of "Seamless", shifts the order of the tracks, and cuts "Samba, Samba." The album's rhythm and continuity are ruined by these alterations. This is my favorite Nylons album. I heard the group live in Toronto in 1985, and it was a memorable experience. I also joined their fan club, and they sent me signed Christmas cards for years after I became a member.

The lineup for "Happy Together" (1987), also a strong album, is as follows:

1) Happy Together
2) Dance of Love
3) It's What They Call Magic
4) Chain Gang
5) This Island Earth
6) Face in the Crowd
7) Grown Man Cry
8) Crazy in Love (Morning Comes Early)
9) A Touch of Your Hand
10) Kiss Him Goodbye

Although this CD is not available from the manufacturer anymore, it is generally available from Amazon sellers. I highly recommend it as an alternative to the 1990 altered reissue of "Seamless." It is a no-frills 2fer with no CD booklet or lyrics, so you might want to keep your original LP covers and inner liners if you have them.

title: A Must-Listen for the Chopin Enthusiast

text: I have been fascinated by the music and life of Fryderyk Chopin for years. This play will bring both smiles and tears to fans who know enough about his life to recognize the moments that Hershey Felder is describing. Not only a world-class pianist but a skilled actor, Mr. Felder portrays Monsieur Chopin with delicacy and incredible insight, capturing the vulnerability and sensitivity of this musical genius. Born to a Hungarian mother and a Polish father, Mr. Felder delivers the dialogue (monologue, really, as this is a one-man show) in a beautifully-crafted accent that deepens the experience of hearing Monsieur Chopin tell us about his own life. The monologue is interspersed with passionate performances of various pieces of Chopin's, delivered in character. In effect, audiences get to hear Hershey Felder playing Chopin... while playing Chopin!<br />Those who already know how much they love Chopin will be delighted by this project, and those who are just getting to know him will find this project a fascinating way of learning more about him. I hope that enough copies of this two-disc CD set will remain available so that everyone who loves Chopin can hear Mr. Hershey Felder bring him to life on stage.

This is by far the worst CD ever so retarted I hate it I would suggest not to buy this product or CD or

for consideration think about this product at all for purchase its just a CD of a group of teens it seams like or just crack heads talking dirty but its soo cheesy that its like two people talking while watching TV so much back ground noise and static it sucks bad terrible not erotic at all very poor quality and trashy material totally not worth a penny. THE WORSE ever.


title: An Odd Little Find

text: This album is pretty obscure in North America.  I originally discovered it while living in Taiwan.  It is sort of a strange cross between Abba and the Scorpions: melodic rock, with a thin layer of cheese on top.  I like 4 of the 8 songs, which are attached to old memories of mine.  Though it isn't Grade A, it's a solid B minus album and holds a special place in my heart.


title: You will love it!

text: If you love dogs as I do you will love this book.  It will mkae you laugh and cry but it is a dog talking and they always tell the truth. W. Bruce Cameron must have a pipeline to dogdom because he knows exactly how they think, just as I think i do.

title: Not very well-done. Inconsistent and amateurish.

text:
I enjoy falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean. I have several CD's of this type. This one is the worst in my collection.

First, I have to say, you do get what is in the description of the product. This is indeed a CD of sounds of the sea, in an acceptable quality.

The problem is in the mix. It's basically a sound bed of the ocean, with effects thrown on top, and not very artfully.

For example - a few seconds into the recording, you'll hear a ship's bell. But the bell gets clipped at the end, ruining the immersion. This happens every time the ship's bell effect is heard. Other ship's horns go off far too often and far too "close" to the listener. They repeat, and there is no sense of distance gained or lost. You'll hear the creaking of a wooden ship, then suddenly the putt-putt of diesels.

It's just not immersive, consistent, or well-done. Too many effects are used too often and with no art to the mix. You are very aware that you are not listening to a continuous recording, but rather a pile of SFX over the background of the ocean. I was too aware of the incongruities to fall asleep. I was distracted rather than relaxed.

In my opinion, a CD like this should be subtle. It should sound like the recorder went aboard a ship and just rolled on the natural sounds for an hour. I understand that this is probably not how these recordings get made, but they should SOUND like they were made that way, and this one doesn't at all. It wasn't for me.


title: Great

text: Very good


title: Wow! Los Bunkers are Mis amigos!

text: I will never forget watching these guys perform on TV.  I am not sure if I was watching Vme or another channel; but I immediately started searching for this particular CD.  My spirit is always enriched and refreshed by great music.  In addition to loving music, I am a big fan of trendy or smart lyrics.  I always have this CD in my car!


title: 5 stars and more deserved!

text: Do not pay attention to the idiot who have this one star.he does not know great music of it hit him in the head!this music is timeless and classic.please listen and it will be a trip full of pleasure!


title: worth getting for the music history

text:
I'm not quite sure what to say about this. This is not great music, and has not worn that well, and yet you really have to appreciate the verve with which they went for it. Simple instrumentation, no virtuoso displays, not much in the way of tune. But not much else like it, either.  Its original and every album is different.

No track listing in the set, which is ridiculous.

The music of Santo and Johnny is a real blast from my past. My dad originally bought their records, the old vinyl kind. I used to listen to them myself and loved their guitar and slide guitar sound.
This CD has many of their old hits, "Sleepwalk", "Harbor Lights", "Venus", " Raunchy" and many more.
I have really enjoyed listening to it and visiting that carefree time in my young life.
I bought this CD from an outside vendor and was very pleased with my purchase.

title: Amazing instrumental album

text: Guthrie's playing is incredible, as are his tone and songwriting skills. It's a crime that Guthrie Govan is not as well known as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, and the like.


title: Quick shipping, no problems

text: Doesn't get any better than the best of Skid Row


title: Badly defective pressings...

text: I love the music but the manufacturing is seriously defective, with no apparent quality-control. There is noisy static on every track (and track #1 skips and freezes so badly it is basically unplayable on my high-end CD player). So, I asked the seller to send me a replacement, which they kindly did, but the replacement suffers from exactly the same set of problems on every track. It’s a shame, because it’s great music. Buyer beware.


title: Beware: DVD inoperable in standard US players

text: Unfortunately, the DVD is inoperable or unrecognizable in both my Sony BluRay player and in my computer DVD drive. Nor is the DVD labeled with a region or formatting mark to alert the consumer regarding compatibility. The CD, on the other hand, plays just fine.


title: The breath of genius...

text: When this album was first released in late 1967 (Elektra), it seemed way beyond the pale, as though it had been produced in an alternate rock universe.  But just mention it to those lucky fans who were aware of it at the time and their eyes widen, their voices drop into hushed tones of awe.  "Forever Changes" was the breath of genius.  With time, more and more rock critics have come to share that view.  Even if you already own this album in another format, buy this CD.<br />The first CD version of this classic (Elektra/Asylum 1987) was typically nothing special in the audio department.  The next version, presented in full on the two-CD boxed set, "Love Story 1966-1972" (Rhino 1995), was dramatically better sonically - everything brought forward, especially the bass, with lots more detail.  However, although all the songs on "Forever Changes" were included (in indication of how highly regarded the album was), they were split between the two CDs.  The new, intact re-master is a real joy.  Although it may be hard for most listeners to detect any obvious sonic improvement over the "Love Story" boxed set (meaning only that Rhino did a great job on the boxed set), with a good sound system and a careful listen you can indeed hear greater detail.  Actually, it's one of the most impeccable sonic presentations I've heard on any CD.  The bonus tracks are a really nice addition, same high sonic quality, rounding out our appreciation for the original Love's final, brilliant recording sessions, from which "Forever Changes" was born.  The 24-page CD booklet is also quite nice, with lots of text detailing the history of Love and frontman Arthur Lee, and the genesis and production of "Forever Changes", track by track.  Thanks, Rhino, for giving this masterpiece everything it has so long deserved.


title: Wery good service!

text: For listening!


Beautiful Voice, but talents exceed voice alone. Michael-Ann writes her own songs and plays guitar . I also like the variety of music in the various songs that include Folk, Country & a little bit of Blue Grass.. I like the whole album.


title: Five Stars

text: GREAT album from the late Johnny Gimble, wish it was on CD.


title: CD didn’t even work

text: Bought this as a gift for someone, they couldn’t even get it to play. They tried it on multiple CD players & tried to clean the CD but it still wouldn’t play so they will be returning it


title: Great for a store

text: Have a boutique flea market and play this works great


title: Worst Prine Ever

text: I guess I was warned by an earlier reviewer, but I never expected anything this bad to be offered for sale on Amazon.com. This 2 CD set sounds like it was recorded on a small cassette recorder by someone in the audience sitting too close. The sound is awful, and though Prine always is entertaining, this was not even in the ballpark of any of his other commercially releases. Save your money and let this one stay on the shelves.


title: Mixed feelings

text: Cathy Carr's music is nearly impossible to get on CD. This disc, from the EEC, brings 32 cuts to her fans and is most welcome. The Roulette material and Laurie cuts are fine, but the Fraternity sides are nearly unlistenable. The old records are much better, and how often can you say that these days. She was certainly a sensational ballad singer who perfectly captured the spirit of teenage music of the late 50's and early 60's, much the same way Connie Francis did. I'm happy I've got one but only about two-thirds of it is going on the ipod.


title: Lovely and Unusual Album

text: I first discovered this album in the early 1960s, and am thrilled that it is still available.  Some of the duets with the Spanish guitar are with soprano and some with flute.  Each of the musicians excels, and the music choices are exceedingly well programmed.  This album brings me just as much satisfaction and pleasure now as it did when I first found it, and that makes it - in my mind - a classic.


title: Wonderful recording by a talented musician

text: The music is not the usual format for Coleman Hawkins, but I loved the old favorites played by him and an orchestra.


title: Walsh rocks!

text: There are many wonderful "un-discovered" artists in every genre.  Walsh is certainly one of them.  These songs are dense and engaging.  Egghead is one of those pearls of great price buried in a field.  GET IT!  LOVE IT!  APPRECIATE IT!


title: Don Bowman

text: I listen to him when I was a teenager.I still love his off the wall attacks on  things that go wrong in life.I just wish the music companies would put his music out on cd so it will be fresh and won't sound like my old records.


title: Five Stars

text: Every song is inspirational and beautiful.


title: hard to find CD

text: had this on LP, glad to have it on CD


title: Awesome Sounds

text:
Great musical vibes from Kevens.
Kevens has a spiritual and profound Sound and message of peace.
The album is chock full of
Awesome rhythms and change-ups.
I Love it!


title: Great Blues. Needs to be on CD.

text: I had an LP back in the 80s, with a different cover, which had these songs on it, plus maybe a few more (I remember Evil Spirit Blues as one title). It's great hearing blues sung in Axton's booming baritone. It's too bad this stuff hasn't been re-released on CD, because it is definitely worth the time.


title: Doesn't play in all CD players

text: I really don't care if it is a bootleg, the only problem I have is that one of the CDs doesn't play in all the players in my house and it doesn't play in my car, otherwise it is nice to have a Greatest Hits from them.


title: Something Different On Vinyl

text: My copy came unsealed, it is manufactured in the Philippines by BLANGOLD RECORDS, the sound is good, not gatefolded cover as the original. LP - 1125 (JC 34474). I got some other colored vinyl and the albums are not gatefolded as the originals (Led Zeppelin IV, Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon, overall the sound is good).


title: This band just gets better and better

text:
Ghost Toast is basically an instrumental band that inserts spoken-word samples (extraordinary ones at that: famous speeches, PSAs, quirky moments from the news or film).
If instrumental albums strike you as unexciting, this band might change your mind. They can be crunchy heavy, jazzy, jammy, avant-garde, or smooth and sentimental. This music is just plain fun to listen to with all its proggy twists and turns.
Lovers of good music (you know who you are, snobs 😉) will love these guys — I urge people to listen to Ghost Toast; one of the more profound musical discover I’ve had this year.


title: Beware

text: I have not listened to this, so I gave it four stars to not hurt the rating—-<br />I was very psyched to hear this, but Amazon has this labeled “CD” ——- but they sent me an “album.”  If you are looking for a CD version, buy this elsewhere.


title: A vivid and engaging snapshot in time

text: The best recorded representation of the Bridget Wishart era. And they couldn't even put her name on the cover !!<br />If you like some parts of Space Bandit and Palace Springs, then this is a really nice slab of Hawkwind. This is worth it if you can find it cheap -- not a full-length show, though-- but really takes off on a space trip on several occasions.


title: Symphonic prog with lots of influences

text: Nice piano-driven prog rock album with clear Turkish and French influences. Vocals (some in Turkish) channel P. Gabriel at many turns. Guitar and flute flourishes flavor a solid rhythm section. This album is my favorite of theirs, their later albums have tighter, shorter songs with more vocals. This Leitmotiv album features songs which, I believe, give the songs a chance to breath a little bit. Fans of of Yes, Genesis, KC, and Italian and French prog should give this a spin.


title: A path you need to take

text:
If you're looking for a new band to get into with each album sounding different, a mix of jazz, metal, progressive, krautrock, raga, classic rock, classical, ambient, industrial, space rock, New wave, pop, avant.....
Keep this list going with every kind of music you can think of and that is CIRCLE (or Falcon, or Pharoah Overlord, or whatever moniker they choose). This group is amazing, challenging, and such a pleasure to listen to. They have a huge back catalogue, so dive in , you won't regret it.
This release is heavy and groovy and weird, but check out all of them if you love music.


title: A justification for five stars....

text:
.........A justification for five stars: One of the better albums in a large collection of prog. Lead singer, Lorenzo Sonognini, sounds like the love child of Derek Dick, Peter Collins, and Cat Stevens. He can be campy, serious, groovy and grandiose ---- but in the perfect doses, so as to never wholly  become an easy study (great for repeated listenings). The songs are warmly comfortable (like the first few seconds of "Breathe" from Dark Side) and the changes are many, and not jarring. If I had to play an example of great modern progressive rock to someone I might often choose this album.
Awaken - 12:04  opener that offers up a long tune that is much to tight to call an epic, four to five time changes, hooky, but not poppy elements, predominant and driving bass - low and a little funky at times. The song, like the album is egalitarian in its instrumentation. This an excellent work, but I would find it difficult to call it a keyboard or guitar driven. It really is in a nice musical sweet spot.
Cub Lady:  Very early Genesis feel, with a Mediterranean core, though. Short song before the driving and engaging PiGreco at seven and a half minutes. This song seems like the song that you would play to someone to show off this band. Matrimandir comes next and is 17 minutes of great prog music-- it does seem to be a few different musical ideas sewn together, but what it loses in coherency it gains in sheer interest as to what will come next. I have been focusing on time changes, but I feel I must add that this is a very easy listen, even with the clear complexity. Pulsar (a short melody driven piece) cleanses the palate before the last song: the 25 minute long, Daydream Suite. All 25 minutes are used well, as the song becomes a Gilmour-esque solo fest halfway through and then  a Marillion like interlude with the only thing sounding like a moog-synth .... contemplative mood lasts a little too long perhaps, but the effect is a slow drift off that ends the album.
I don't know if this should be in every prog collection, but everyone should sit and enjoy this at least once. I tend to put this on quite often.


title: Not enough substance

text: This work straddles the line between groovy "zoning-out" music and provocative sounds. I found this had the effect of making this an uncomfortable listen. To others,  uncomfortable might make for an engaging or challenging work. For me, I just did not enjoy it. Maybe the other albums are better. This is ok, but nothing special.


title: Garage Revial from Brazil

text: Great garage revival from Brazil. I like the cover of "Dirty Old Man" which I chose to play on my show.


title: An awesome remaster of an awesome album.

text: On of my favorite Dave Valentin albums. My vinyl version was one of my best college roommates in 1982. So glad to have this gem reissued on CD (SACD to be exact). I wore out the track “In Love’s Time” on side 1. Side 2 contained an awesome cover of one of my favorite Milton Nascimento tracks, Clove And Cinnamon, of which he cowrote with Ronaldo Bastos. Dave Valentin’s flute was almost ethereal. He is missed. The guys at Vocalion/DuttonEpoch did this remaster the right way!


title: A secret classic - hidden amidst piles of records and time.

text:
What a great record - production is deep, murky and full of intrigue. This comp learned me a lot of great hip hop artists including Azeem, who is a personal favorite. The comp includes tracks which I believe were all produced by Fanatik, who I assume is/was the house producer for the label. I'm not certain of that since I can't find the case for this gem, but the tracks are all consistent in terms of sound and feel.

This needs to be considered up there with all other top shelf hip hop and gives a great look into an artistically thriving place and time.

I found my copy used in a pawn shop and nabbed it for about a dollar - I didn't know anything about it and was lucky that day. I still spin it regularly after several years and can't recommend enough - if you find this - or any of the artists releases that were involved with it - do yourself a favor and grab it. If it doesn't change your life it'll give you some solid beats and words to make you think.

Man I hope Fanatik is still out there making some quality sounds. May this group live on through sound and in life.

5 STARS! TOP SHELF!


title: Criminally Slept On. Beware of scalpers, but grab this if you get a chance!

text:
I don't care what anyone says - this album is near perfect, and it was totally slept on when released, granted the release didn't give many people in the US a chance to hear it, so this isn't totally surprising.

What we have here is a lush throwback album that shows our hero pursuing a new sound while simultaneously bringing back some familiar favorites. It's all here - the drum loops, the strange lyrics, that irresistible groove and now some strange synth that sounds dated and futuristic all at the same time.

Initially this album got solid reviews from some but in more recent years it's been all but slept on by fans and reviewers. This likely is just because no one really got to hear it in the states - it was distributed in some UK newspapers and was never even sold in retail outlets in the states. In fact, this Amazon listing has only sprung up now in the event of P's death. I bought my copy on eBay last December after hearing about half the album on youtube back in 2011. I knew I wanted it for a long time but never thought to check eBay. Nabbed it for $5 at the time, and I'm not surprised that scalpers are moving in on this one too. I hate that about it - but I was lucky to finish my collection of his entire official discography about a month before he passed (got a load of unofficial stuff too haha you know with P you just have to seek it all out).

Anyway, if you get a chance to get this disc for not too much definitely pick it up. If you like Prince and you have an open mind I can't imagine anyone not liking it. It's so addictive to me that I've had it on repeat for several weeks at a time when listening to it. Then again I've been listening to Prince almost exclusively since I bought this album last December when I finished the collection. At this point "Princing" is a verb and I'd like to think I don't have a problem, but I probably do. Then again, I'm cool with it and don't even care.

Prince, we miss you, we love you, and we'll see you when we're welcomed to the dawn.

Cheers!

title: Huge fan of Daniel Castro's music!

text: This CD is a compilation of Daniel at his finest.  I appreciated the fact that the studio musicians backed Daniel and that every track features his enormous talent and his personal style.  Dynamic blend of storytelling, funk, perfect "happy" blues, and his amazing talent for playing guitar.  This CD is a keeper, and shows Daniels range and creativity too.

text: Had this album in the mid-70's...when the Jeremiah People came to our local church (Wesleyan Methodist Church, Moreno Valley, CA.!)<br />I've been looking for a CD of this, as I no longer have a turntable...Still looking.


title: Right side up vs. upside down

text: The photo shown here has M's face right side up. This was a mistake and all printings after this features M's face upside down. I have both. The music is excellent on every track, but that's Madonna for you, always the best production/mixing. If your not  M fan you will enjoy this album anyway as her collaboration with Baby Face is wonderfully done and you can tell. If your a fan I'm preaching to the choir. Enjoy!!!


title: 5 Stars For The Technology, 2 For The Song Selection (Read "Comments" Section)

text: With the very honourable exception of "Reconsider, Baby", long recognized by discriminating Elvis fans as among his very greatest recordings, this is a pretty lame song selection. Yes, Elvis is in fine vocal form throughout, but most of the songs are second rate. Even such top hits as "Stuck On You", "She's Not You" and "Good Luck Charm" are hardly first rate Presley material, though they are better listening experiences here than they were originally. With so many great recordings of better material available, such as "Any Day Now" and "Stranger In My Own Home Town", to name just 2 of the songs from the legendary 1969 American Studios recordings brilliantly sung but seriously compromised by overdubs of voice, horns and strings begging for a new treatment worthy of the performances on the undoctored masters, why choose all these so so ballads? That said, and with the exception of some overly busy added tenor sax playing at times, this is a very interesting approach. Here's hoping the producer will extend his efforts into a more tasteful selection of material and really give us something revelatory.


title: Bernstein and Corelli Make This A Must

text: This was of course a unique situation, with Bernstein conducting Cav of all things. Those who complained that he was out of his element here had better check the score. By dusting off many traditional cobwebs, he brought this to life as if it were a new work he was trying to promote. Domingo had previously been scheduled for this production, but the labor problems which so delayed the '69, '70 season produced various temporary defections, including the young Spaniard's. Corelli took over, and did he take over! At that time, young Domingo could never have approached Corelli in this one, particularly in this form and cooperating fully with Bernstein. There's no doubt who's in charge, but Corelli much more than makes up for his relatively sloppy performance on his commercial set of Cav, where his scooping seriously mars the "Addio". This time, he delivers the best Turiddu I have ever heard. The Operatic Ear, anotheramerica.org


title: Amazing Ernani

text: What a performance! For Corelli alone, this would be priceless (no pun intended). Price and Siepi tip the balance further, though it is a shame that  MacNeil wasn't in the cast that day. I love Bergonzi, but when he was in this form, Corelli was the man for this opera. The Operatic Ear, anotheramerica.org

title: Great pop-jazz. Chuck Mangione

text: I loved Chuck’s old concerts on PBS then the hit ‘Feels so good’. I found this album ‘Children of Sanchez’ in ‘79 and loved it. Lost it a few decades back so my wife is giving this to me again for my birthday at end of April. Very good double album.


title: Beautiful, proof that most great music stays underground

text: Like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, Love never hit the mainstream, but had a massive cultural effect on all music that came after them. Up to this day, this album remains a true cult classic. Psychadelic without being too arty, and folky without being boring. Most bands from both of the previously mentioned genres should take a lesson or two from these guys. The highlights of the album are definatly "Alone Again Or" (with its beautiful flamico influenced guitar), "A House Is Not a Motel" (with it's rock 'n' roll influenced guitarwork), and "The Red Telephone" (love the lyrics on this one). And who discovered Jimi Hendrix and got him in the studio? Arthur Lee!


title: love this movie

text: I love all his music


title: Not what I thought I was ordering

text: I thought I was ordering a CD, not a 33 rpm record, so very disappointed.  When I looked back at the item, it was titled "CD", but in small letters it said "vinyl".  Not very honest advertising.


title: Courage Indeed!

text: I've read many of the Joanna Brady novels by J. A. Jance, but I started  late in the series. About a week ago I came across the first book in the series, Desert Heat. It was a good read and now I have all the background on Sheriff Joanna Brady . This lead me into the second book in the series, Tombstone Courage. Armed with background from book one I slid easily into book two. She's the first woman sheriff in Cochise County. She had a lot on her plate; it seemed more than she would be able to digest. Let's see, there was a snippy, half naked secretary, her male crew with no confidence in a woman, her all about beauty mother, her worried ten year old daughter, an angry reporter and a county gone mad. Oh did I mention she landed in the midst of two murders?  With so many roads to navigate through in Tombstone Courage there was no room for boredom. I loved it.


title: perfect

text: thank you, product arrived packaged perfectly, arrived safely and timely.  I enjoy the music, thank you.shs


title: Buy this Album!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

text: This album is by far the greatest Zao CD Ever. From the breakdown in 5 year winter to the crushing At Zero to end the album, this is perfect. It’s way too short. The electronic drums excited me when the album came out because it was different. Jesse is and always will be my favorite drummer. As a Zao fan this is a must album.

title: Five Stars

text: Excellent music.


title: Solid set w/a few sound issues

text:
This is another in the plethora of recent releases emanating from sources in the U.K. where copyright laws are less restrictive than they are here in the states. This is a solid show, chock full of typical Dead songs from the early '70s. The big difference in this set is the absence of any lengthy jams. The longest song is an eleven and a half minute version of Truckin' to begin the 3rd disc. If you're a fan of 'cowboy songs" era Dead, you'll be happy with the choices. Relatively shorter song times (for the Dead) and an emphasis on vocals and lyrics are the order of the day.
To that end, the vocals are up front in the mix and everyone is in good voice. With that being said, the instruments definitely take a back seat to the vocals and are placed relatively down in the mix. The sound on these discs runs the gamut from okay to generally good, but is spotted with sonic irregularities. It sounds like a decent soundboard recording that never got cleaned up and is presented "as is." The first disc has several momentary dropouts while the second and third discs have some tape glitches. The issues are minor and are representative of source material that hasn't been through any kind of cleaning up or remastering. Nothing about the sound should keep you from buying this set unless you can't abide less than pristine recordings.
However, given the issues with the sonics, you don't want to be dropping any major coin on this release. As noted above, this set and many similar ones are readily available from the U.K. and eBay has a better selection of sources to buy from than Amazon currently does. If you're a collector of early '70s Dead it's worth picking up if you can get it for less than $20. Seriously, don't throw any more $$ than that at this release unless you have more money than sense (which is certainly possible, I guess!).
Setlist:
Side 1 - Track 1. Bertha
Side 1 - Track 2. Me & My Uncle
Side 1 - Track 3. Sugaree
Side 1 - Track 4. Beat It On Down The Line
Side 1 - Track 5. Loser
Side 1 - Track 6. Playin' In The Band
Side 1 - Track 7. Tennessee Jed
Side 1 - Track 8. Jack Straw
Side 1 - Track 9. Big Railroad Blues
Side 1 - Track 10. Me & Bobby McGee
Side 2 - Track 1. Brown Eyed Woman
Side 2 - Track 2. One More Saturday Night
Side 2 - Track 3. Casey Jones
Side 2 - Track 4. Mexicali Blues
Side 2 - Track 5. Comes A Time
Side 2 - Track 6. El Paso
Side 2 - Track 7. Ramble On Rose
Side 2 - Track 8. Sugar Magnolia
Side 3 - Track 1. Truckin'
Side 3 - Track 2. Not Fade Away
Side 3 - Track 3. Going Down The Road Feeling Bad
Side 3 - Track 4. Not Fade Away

To sum up: a good show that's worth picking up if you're a collector of this era, you can find it at a reasonable price, and you don't mind some minor sound gremlins. Oh, for those of you who care about such things, there's a fair amount of banter between the band and the audience scattered throughout. If Amazon allowed half stars, I'd rate this 3 1/2 stars.

title: It's a rip off

text: I ordered a 3 CD set of fats domino and received 3 CDs of motown . all the same songs. The same thing with the 3 CD set of everly  brothers. All Motown all the same songs. I would give them minus 5 stars but they won't let me.


title: Ripoff

text: I ordered a3 CD set of everly brothers greatest hits. I received 3 CDs of motown . all the same songs. Do not buy from this site. It's a rip off


title: A Bit Fanciful, But Still Very Worth It

text: Manfred von Richthofen was a sociopath at the very least -- nobody who blithely attempts to connect chivalry to the more than 80 known adversaries that he killed could be anything but.  And the movie overplays the Red Baron's attempts at avoiding further bloodshed. That said, the cast of this movie and their chemistry, combined with a good story and extremely good CGI, make this movie a keeper so long as the viewer accepts it is yet another "story BASED on what really happened".  Historically, it's pretty flawed stuff but it's done very well.


title: Heart, soul, & mind. I'm in love with this record

text: Matt Wilson is a criminally underrated songwriter. From Trip Shakespeare to this record to what he's doing now with Twilight Hours and Matt Wilson & His Orchestra, he can make you laugh, break your heart, and smear you with joy - all with equal earnestness and urgency and with hooks that are so addicting that I can listen to this record over and over again. I know he recorded this quickly, it has an indy, live, sound and aura. Someone super famous should seriously cover something from this record, get Matt the $$ and recognition he deserves. Always ahead of his time.  Also: play this all the way through twice at first. Give it that chance...It will hook you, reel you in and convert you.

title: Fake, Bootleg. LP have yet to release an official Greatest Hits!

text:
This is 100% FAKE. Linkin Park have yet to release any official Greatest Hits compilation. There are tons of tell-tale signs that this "Greatest Hits" is bogus.

- The songs that will be "new"  to some people (And One, No Roads Left, and QWERTY) are actually old b-sides and Linkin Park Underground-exclusive tracks from years past.

- There are a lot of songs on here really can't be considered "hits" since they were never released as singles. (No More Sorrow, In My Remains, Blackout, Don't Stay, Pushing Me Away, Hit the Floor, Valentine's Day, By Myself, Figure.09, Forgotten, In Pieces, In Between? Nope, never singles.)

- Foreword? It's a noise track that opens Meteora. IF it were included on a compilation as a lead-in for Don't Stay, it would, in all likelihood, be added onto the beginning of the same track as Don't Stay.

I'm sure this is a good quality burned CD. The art may pass as "official looking" to some, but it doesn't at all match the art direction LP stuff has taken in recent years, and it's made from easy-to-find band promo photos and graphics from the Living Things album cycle. If you don't mind buying a bootleg, go ahead. But if you're expecting a real, genuine LP "Greatest Hits", you're gonna have to keep waiting.


title: Five Stars

text: love it!


The Suite from "The River" and the Plow That Broke the Plains, along with Symphony on a Hymn Tune comprise three of my favorite Virgil Thomson works. Two of those works as included on this CD are magnificently interpreted by the great Leopold Stokowski and I have heard none better. There have been recordings of other performances of these works, but this is the "must have" standard which I'm proud to own in both LP and CD format. If you can still get one, this is the recording to have.

While I am not a fan of Darkchild productions, Rhona's vocal ability made up for the bubblegum pop Rodney and his team were known for in the late Ninties and early Noughties. Rhona really shined on all of the ballads which showcased her range, control, and power.

If you are a fan of power ballads, divas with huge voices, or the bubblegum pop explosion circa 1999-2002, I recommend this CD to you.

title: Some of the best therapy I've had

text: I really like all the CD's she has produced in this series.  I have shared these with others who weren't so enthused.  I think the difference was I was first introduced to these in a group therapy program.  It took until I had sat through one of the CD's before I could relax enough to let the program work.  This was done at a VA Medical Center and it was my fellow vets that helped me drop my guard enough for the program to work.
