title: The Definitive remaster of Weather Report’s last great album

text:
Contrary to a number of reviewers, I believe this to be Weather Report’s last great album. This was the final release that had the all star lineup that most people feel was their strongest. I feel Noght Passage has been generally neglected and underrated, perhaps because it doesn't have the “catchy” tunes of Heavy Weather, nor the innovation and raw power of the fantastic Black Market. Nonetheless, it’s a very solid effort, with great writing by Joe Zawinul throughout. Unfortunately there isn’t a single Shorter composition to be found here- perhaps that’s why it’s not as impactful as the previous albums; Wayne’s angular style always contrasted nicely with Joe’s more immediately accessible writing. Still, it’s a brilliant album, with great tunes like the swinging opener, Night Passage and the amazing (live) Fast City, a tune that still sounds like it’s from the future even today. And we have Jaco’s gorgeous understated waltz, Thee Views of a Secret as well. One special thing about Night Passage is it’s a very dynamic album - I was hoping the good folks at Dutton Vocalion would take advantage of that and wouldn’t overcompress it.

So how’s the SACD? The good news is, they didn’t compress the dynamics at all. In fact, the album is overall, anything but too loud, with plenty of dynamics, in fact way more dynamics than any previous version. I had to turn it up more than my customary settings to get a decent basic level, but that’s OK because it presents a very wide dynamic range, which makes for a powerful listening experience.

It’s a tad bright in the highs, especially in the cymbals, but there’s also a whole lot of detail up there that I had previously missed. Even in the densest passages such as in the intense middle section of Port of Entry, Peter Erskine’s drums are clearly perceptible amidst Robert Thomas's energetic percussion parts.

Before this, the best version I had was probably the Japanese Sony Mastersound edition, which is very good indeed. But time and technology have moved on and, for this listener at least, this is a vast improvement in terms of depth, instrument separation and dynamics. Plus there’s a lot more tone pulled out of Jaco’s bass and overall, a wider soundstage than on any previous release.

Over the years, I have purchased this album multiple times, starting with the vinyl, the original crappy CD release, the Bob Belden 2002 remaster, (which was very warm, but not bright enough,) and besides the aforementioned Mastersound version, I also purchased the Mark Wilder remaster as part of the 2007 Japanese box set. That’s a very nice remaster indeed, but while possessing plenty of crispness in the high end, it really lacked balls.

This version has the high end detail, creamy mids and probably as much low end definition as one can milk from the original analog masters, which I suspect were inherently lacking in terms of bottom end detail. So, you don’t get that in your face power kick we hear in AudioFidelity’s beautiful recent remaster of Tale Spinnin', but I’m guessing that’s because it simply doesn’t exist here.

For those who simply can’t get enough of Weather Report, It will be interesting and exciting to check out Dutton’s new remaster of Tale Spinnin', which (finally!) includes the marvelous quad mix, which has never been commercially available before. (Say Goodbye to all those bootlegs!) It will be especially interesting to hear that stereo remaster side by side with AudioFidelity’s excellent remaster of one of the most underrated albums in the entire WR catalog.

As for this remaster of Night Passage, to put it succinctly, I won’t be looking for any versions to replace this one. My quest to find the best possible version of this underrated album is over.


title: Great, just not what I thought I was getting - this compilation may be better!

text:
This is a very nice Indian fusion album with Vasant Rai on sarod and guitar, mixing it up with 3/4 of Oregon ( sans Towner) and Jerry Goodman of Mahavishnu Orchestra fame on violin. I thought I was getting a twofer of Spring Flowers and the followup album Autumn Song with roughly the same band. This one has Spring Flowers in its entirely and then adds the Indian classical album, Ragas for Meditation and Happiness in its stead. It's wonderful music, but doesn't fit the bulk of the CD the way the two aforementioned albums do. There is a twofer of those two on Vanguard, but it's out of print.

That being said,  music for meditation and Happiness is an absolutely wonderful album. Vasant is a master sarod player and a very melodic improviser. It's great to hear him in both the fusion and traditional settings.

This is still a great compilation, and nicely remastered, but just not the two albums I though I was getting. My bad: I should've read the description more clearly. After listening to the album with Vasant of sarod and Alla Raka on tabla, I am completely happy with these two albums. I'm still giving it 5 stars.


title: A few GEMS worth the entire price of the CD

text: The answer is simple.  Buy it for the songs "Christopher Lydon,"  "Glass Slipper," and "Thirty Whacks."  Live versions of "Coin-Operated Boy," "Truce," and "Missed Me" are fantastic....but nothing too different from the studio albums and honestly get the live DVD for those instead. But these three aforementioned songs (which appear on the album in concession) are the MEAT that make this CD worth buying. They are FANTASTIC power , beautifully performed, and wonderfully written.  "Christopher Lydon" is perhaps my favorite only to a very close second with "Glass Slipper" which build to a jaw-dropping climax where she belts with such FEROCITY "How many happy endings do you need to change your f*&#ing mind!"  You will get goosebumps.  The intensity in this track can only be described as raw and emotional.  Even with only a handful of non-album tracks, this live CD could earn 5 stars from me although the sound quality on some of the tracks is less than stellar. Luckily my favorite tracks are captured with brilliant audio.  I also wish it had better artwork and lyrics. BUY IT.


title: Favorite Brazilian Artist right now.

text: I found Paula Fernandes on YouTube and I just had to get her CD and when I purchased her album I thought I was only going to like 3-5 songs of hers. Come to find out I loved all of her songs in this album.  I've been listen to this album over and over and over again for the past 5 months straight.  She's a great artist.


title: Relevant songwriting as always.

text: It's great to have Jude Cole back. He picked up where he left off at with Falling Home and never missed a step. He proves once again that he is an incredible producer & musician. But the beauty of In Plain Sight, is that he once again proves that his lyrics and storytelling as relevant today as they have always been.  This is music from the heart. It's a gift from him to the listener.


title: Excellent music CD.

text: This is one of the best examples of southern Spanish fusion- flamenco and jazz.


title: Great music!

text: Bernadette's voice is poignant and flawless.  The story she tells touches your heart.  It's about the search for love and its' pitfalls.


title: This is fraud

text: If I had not had this CD before, I won't have understood what this is all about. I had this CD for threeyears before it disappeared after I got married. I Just wanted to replace it and was excited to see it in Amazon but the CD I got where just samples of the supposed music. Not even one song sang for a minute, it was just brief sample of all the songs. To think I imported this CD all the way from US to Africa, waited for it to come, Air freighted it to Nigeria to get this rubbish is appalling. This is a fraud. I don't understand what this seller intend to sell. What will it cost him to just record the whole song. I can never buy a pin from this seller again.

text: It sounds so good , like just being there.


title: Was curious about artist's music; was not disappointed

text: Excellent service and delivery in getting the CD out faster than I anticipated. The CD was in excellent condition. I was curious about Kellye Huff's music since stumbling across the previews on Amazon over 2 years ago but just recently decided to purchase. I was not disappointed, as the music was quite smoothly played (other than a mildly jarring key change in the bridge of "All My Days"); while Kellye showed a lot of polish for her age at that time (inherited no doubt from her dad). All in all, a very pleasant surprise.


title: Excellent service and product

text: I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of the delivery of this order. I bought this as part of an effort to try to get as many of this great series of music Integrity produced in the mid-1990s as possible. This is an excellent aid in helping one commit Scripture to heart, and my only complaint is that I wish Integrity was still producing this music.


title: Love this strain of starter

text: Would buy this again! But did not need to...... I bought it in October and have made many loaves with it. Today, it more than doubled in my starter jar. It is so active, that I make more bread than I need. My neighbors love getting bread for dinner. LOL


title: Beautiful, but

text: Not what I thought I was getting, accompaniment to sing along with.


title: Great Skynyrd!

text: There are lots of remasters of all Skynyrd songs but this is the best.  It's in 5.1 surround and it has live video from London.  This is a very rare DVD-A disc!


title: Great CD and DVD of Waylon's last concert before his ...

text: Great CD and DVD of Waylon's last concert before his untimely death in 2002. Even though he was in failing health at the time due to diabetes. You could tell that he was very happy and content with is life and career. Outstanding music. Ole Waylon is certainly missed


title: Great CD by a great singer

text: Great CD! She's terrific!!


title: My husband loved it.

text: Great harmonics.


title: Most of the reviews on this page are by the artist

text: Be very aware of the fact that this artist has written at least two and probably three of the reviews on this page (mellowin man and Richard Davidson).  For music to be truly rated five stars it has to have a presence and stature.  This is not the case with this album.  At best, this album would just pass if you were playing it as background music at a party.  Never trust something that has five stars by everybody that rates it.


title: Nice

text: Part of my expensive Madonna collection...good


title: Sexy

text: I love her everything....she is my age


title: Best of Dmitriy Malikov

text: I LOVE IT!!!  I now have four of his CD's and they are all excellent!!


title: Vitas ~ Need I Say More?

text: Yeah, Ditto, what the four above me said :)<br />I couldn't have said it better myself!


title: Good packaging for great albums.

text: I like how they made them like mini LP's including the album art. The sound quality was good. I like having CD sources to rip as FLAC for my media player.


What's not to love?  Great for educating folks at work ("Who's that?").


title: Real promise kept

text: Great album. Fun lyrics and relevant themes. Sounds like his father on some songs but he is different too. Really enjoyable. Very happy that I bought this.


title: Needs to be remastered.

text: Love Nat King Cole. This collection needs to be remastered. The songs sound like I’m playing cassette tapes from the 80’s.


title: Great album

text: Really enjoy Dolly


title: Randy travis

text: Wonderful album and price!!


title: Love the feel

text: Best mood I have been in in 3 years and 364 days.


title: We love John's music.

text: We were introduced to this album a number of years ago and loved it.  If you've ever spent time horseback, rounding up cattle or enjoying a Arizona rainstorm you'll love this album.  A traditional country sound by a Arizona cowboy who unfortunately is no longer with us.  Enjoy!


This is a gem. These songs will be with you for the rest of your life. Wonderful .


title: Energetic Musical Telling the Story of the Gospel via the Toymaker, His Son, and the Living Toys - Must Have

text: This is a presentation of the Gospel with the master toymaker representing God the Father.  His Son Jesus interacts with the toys, who represent humans here on Earth.  The Creation is shown, along with the temptation, the fall, and Jesus' sacrifice at the hands of King Katt and his ladies.  After the resurrection King Katt surrenders his heart to Jesus, who forgives him and takes him as one of His own.  The lady Kats do not. At the end, Satan is bound and vanquished with creation, Jesus, and the Father celebrating the victory.  It is VERY inspiring.  The dance numbers are energetic and well choreographed.  The music and light effects keep your interest riveted.  Very well done - I'd recommend it for any occasion, but especially to be played around Christmastime.


title: A great deal !

text: Love my Eagles !

text: I appreciate that this CD set arrived early and in good condition.  Would buy from this vendor again.  Love the CD set.

text: today I purchased new this CD by John Tesh who already has many great albums I really did enjoy Games about the last Olympic games the music piano has ups and downs you feel the sound grab you and uplifts your  spirit like if you were at those games . The piano has soft moments  and then high strong sounds just like watching the real Olympic games to bad no one as yet has rated this CD I was risking buying this CD with no ratings it was worth the guessing I did well to buy this John Tesh CD.

The Old Paths Quartet are a top quality group. The music is great, and the songs are great. They blend well, If you like southern gospel you will love this.


I really love southern gospel music and I really love these guys. They are so true to their roots, and the music they sing is great. If you love quartets, and true quartet singing than this CD is for you. This CD is sure to please.


title: Great Cd, Great group.

text: The Kingsmen are one of the best groups in southern gospel today. This CD is really great to listen to, I have enjoyed it very much. They have very talented singers, they pick great songs and they are true to their fans. I have so much respect for this group and may God bless them always.


title: Good old 1980's Country-gospel

text: Good old 1980's Country-gospel, like I remember.


title: Meditate, use for inducing a trance,

text: Love it for meditation or hypnosis


title: WAIT..Don't buy this now

text:
I stumbled on this CD searching Amazon for The Lovin Spoonful.  I was so excited at the lineup that I bought it for 35.99 because this page said it was not available new.  And then it turned out to be a cut out even though the Marketplace listing said specifically that it was not.

And guess what!  This CD IS available new.  And from Amazon.  Search for the title What's Shakin or for ASIN B000BR6DC6.  It will lead you to the 10.97 (as of this writing) version right here on Amazon.  I was very fortunate to have purchased this initially form marketplace dealer CD_Man19 and then re-ordered the CD new from Amazon.  Let me say that Amazon's response to my questions were way less positive than CD_Man19's response.  Amazon basically said "tough."  CD_Man19 refunded my purchase without hesitation.

The quality of service should not be measured by orders that go right.  "Going right" is the norm for even the poorest vendors.  The measure of good service is how things are handled when orders go wrong.  In this instance, Amazon fails but CD_Man19 passed.

Go to the other page where I'll write a 5-star review of the 10.97 version.  In fact, I'd write a 6 star review of it there, if I could.


title: My class loves this!

text: Beautiful music and words are understandable.


title: Excellent product

text: While this is a good stand alone product, it is not necessarily meant to be.  Properly used it is a well crafted CD to repetitively reinforce and complement the intensive training done by Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz.  It is great to listen to and drive home the lessons of their "Go For No" Program so they become part of you and your thinking.  Many of us need just that to be reprogrammed to handle success as well as failure in a positive way.

DVD is all Region (12 ) so those in USA can view AND those around the World we live in .. .......  SCORPIONS !!!!!!.. I had this on VHS  now a dinosaur but the DVD  YES !!.. Must Have


title: SCORPION COLLECTOR

text: This is a great remix of Tokyo Tapes a must if your are a music collector .... This disc captures the SCORPIONS just before they broke it big across the world .. YOU CAN HEAR IT !!!


title: Roxanne Rocks

text: This is an outstanding first release. Roxanne's creativity and pure musical talent is on full display. I can't wait to see more from her, especially more originals.


title: Great Music

text: Great


Listen to it everyday. Awesome. Wish they made more Krishna Bhajans like this. It resonates a lot with Indian-origin kids who are growing up here in the US. They love the beat and learn the bhajan.


title: Its Wayne Toups

text: Cajun music at its best. Fast shipping, great condition.


title: Excellent quality

text: Although used, the quality of the CD was perfect!  It contained several Christmas songs I used to listen to years ago on a tape, but  was unable to locate the CD after my tape quit working.  I was delighted to find this pearl, and played it constantly during the Christmas season.  Because of the pandemic and restrictions on family gatherings, being able to listen to this music really helped lift my spirits.


title: Doesn't Live Up to the Premise

text: Herreshoff deliberately set out to mimic the concept of Isszak Walton's classic, The Compleat Anger, an instructional book in the form of a work of fiction. For the most part, he failed. As a work of literature, Herreshoff's story of recreational sailors on the northeast coast of the United States is marred by his patrician view of How Things Should Be Done combined with a rather stiff pedantic writing style, resulting in a book that, to a modern reader, seems condescending at best and sometimes downright offensive. As an instructional it's largely outdated and overly romantic when it comes bygone times and technologies. Mr. Herreshoff can keep his cedar bucket if he chooses but most of us would prefer a real, flushing head…


title: Great Customer service!

text: Thanks for delivering this CD so quickly! Love the music, but was unhappy that it did not include Hallelujah. Released as a single hers is my favorite version of this song. I had to buy it separately as a MP3.  I still haven't figured out a way to add Hallelujah to my Ipod nano.


title: Bach would chuckle at this musical exuberance

text: Bach must release this pianist’s impetuosity. There are no technical impediments to his joyous playing.


title: I cant imagine why this recording has not gone into ...

text: I cant imagine why this recording has not gone into more pressings, for they would surely sell to anyone who has even the faintest knowledge of Nikolayeva.  From a current market search, it is apparent that this is a rarity and now overpriced, at least for someone who is not a fanatic collector.  Though certainly not alone in this regard, Nikolayeva is a performer who offers a bedrock of interpretation for subsequent Bach players.  I often wonder which interpretation would Bach himself pick.  This one would rank well.

His voice has been placed forward and the music as back ground--A great idea!!! This is truly one of a kind!!! Several new songs which is always great!!! Gratitude for the abilities we have today to make recording like this better then the original!!! Thanks!!

title: Awful?

text:
I guess I was expecting something along the way of Crosby + Nash + Young + this fellow.
Muddy noise, no clarity, choral  busy-ness, generally just uninteresting.
No discernible edge for cogent comment or recrutiment for ... ?
Stressful & boring noise.
Sorry.


title: A shiny, new toaster

text:
that looks nice But, toasts only one side of bread at a time and not the top of the bread. So, one has to flip the bread over and upside down and re-toast.

I am not going to send it back. I will donate it to the local thrift store. I am so tired of buying cheap, defective products on Amazon and then having to return them. Amazon needs to create a division which tests products for their legitimacy before it markets products on its websites.  It is obvious that consumers can not rely on questionable reviews even if made by "verified" purchasers.

Five Stars


title: It works

text: Gave it as a gift, was as described.


title: Nice, for a partial experience from the KDrama

text:
This is a nice stand alone album. I did miss the inclusion of the English songs.  Many of the missing English language songs really worked to advance the storylines in this drama. I was excited to see this soundtrack, but when I listened to it: it was a "Wait a minute, to what am I listening?" type of experiences as I kept waiting for the missing songs to be played.
Here is a list of what I could find. I don't know if this is a complete playlist, but here is what I have: Listed are the Artist followed by the song title. They aren't in order of appearance in the drama. I did put the one's that I kept looking for the most in the first part of the list.
Family of the Year: Hero
Meghan Smith: Here Cmes your Man
Twin Folks: Cross My Mind
Hey: I Need You Most
Brandon Pacheco: Soul
Kae Sun: Ship and the Globe
Ruru Chapeau: Everyone has a Little Star
Little Suns: Sunboat
The Once: You're my Best Friend
Amy Winehouse: Cupid
Clara C: Offbeat and The Camel Song
Quentin Mosiman: Hello and Psyke
The Killing Time Band: Heavy
Emilie Mover: Just Where I Belong
Mark Berube: Above the Ground
The exclusion of these songs does change the continuity I expect when I listen to a soundtrack. I am guessing they are not on this album and will be included in seperate volumes. When I put away expectaions of hearing the songs I have listed, this album is nice to listen to as a background album...


title: Grandsons love

text: Bought to play for the grandkids.  They enjoyed it.


title: Very Nice

text: My Grandsons love!


title: Well Done !

text: Well done, it won a surround Grammy for a reason.


title: Great for settling the nerves

text: Wonderful ambient music, very calming.


title: Great Combo but One Caveat

text: Top notch movies, but the version sent was not for use in the USA. In order to watch it I had to burn up one of the handful of runs Microsoft Windows gives you before disabling the operating system for further runs of movies of this type. Hence just 4 stars rather than 5 stars. The color on  Quiet Man is suburb in contrast to other renditions of this classic.


title: CD

text: CD only has seven songs, I expected a more exotic sound. It's good music all around.


title: hits !!!

text:
Liked just about everything about this CD. It has all the hits, near hits and just plain good music.
  My only complaint is the don't have the album version of For Ladies Only. (Monster IS the album version !!!).
  If you're looking for a CD  to relive those days of yore, this is your top pick.


title: Burn in

text: I got this to "burn in" a new PoNo player I just bought.  I don't know if it worked but I trust the science behind it.


title: Four Stars

text: Great advice. Connie is a sharp one with great information delivered in a fun way for all!


title: SOUNDS LIKE A KNOCOFF CD-WHAT A WASTE OF 15 DOLLARS!!!!

text: SAVE YOUR MONEY! This although it may not the fault of the seller, is not  the original version of Edison Lighthouse of Love Grows. I can't comment on the other songs, since the only song I'm aware of is their one hit.  The sound lacks the richness of the original.  It sounds as if this was sung by an imitator using a karaoke recording of the music that is lacking in a big way. Yet this was sold with the CD cover stating "Love Grows with Edison Lighthouse- All their greatest hits on one special edition CD"; (all one of their hits).  I bought this as Christmas gift for my autistic son and what a disappointment to me, because he likes Love Grows. Hopefully he will be okay with it and I believe he will, but what a waste of 15 dollars. It is imported from England. Hopefully the seller will notify the folks in jolly old England that he/she will stop selling this mediocre crap and pass it off as the real thing.  Folks I don't like to give negative reviews, but this deserves one.  I'm waiting to hear back from the seller.  I don't believe it is the fault of the seller, as I'm the first reviewer.


title: Tracks not listed by name on CD player

text: It's a great collection, with excellent sound, however when I put my copy in a CD player (home/car), it does not list the tracks by name - only says track 1,2,3, etc. I cannot figure out why this is and why any modern CD would do this. All of my other CD's play just fine.


title: Five Stars

text: Elvis is always awesome!


title: Why the 38 dollars.

text: I don't see the difference, the 14 dollar version looks identical and no extra tracks are listed.


title: Question about this special? edition

text: I love this band, I just was wondering what the difference here is on this album, no explanation exists for the title here, "Motograter (PA) by Motograter Enhanced, Explicit Lyrics edition (2013) Audio CD". This edition does not have the freee Amazon shipping and the price is higher, is it enhanced with a music video on the disk? Why is it different than the regular album?


title: EXCELLENT!!!

text: Had the pleasure of seeing  this band perform in N-ville at The End.  WOW!  Blew me away so bought the album.  These guys do NOT disappoint.


title: American composer, LOVE it

text: I bought this in ~1985, and to date, I have yet to convert to MP3, BUT, its an amazing glimpse into the composer as in many interviews Crumb states that he focuses on the echoes sounds make, rather the the sounds themselves. I love what he does to the cello and the idea of new instruments for a composition is just , nice, and challenging. A+


title: Short play time

text: The sound is good, but the time is very short.  Not the best bang for the buck., 22.22 minutes per disk is very short play time in my world.  I wouldnot buy again


title: One of the 50s Best Western Scores

text: Mnstrous Movie Music brings to us one of the very best westernscores from the 1950s...THE TALL TEXAN.  Bert Shefter pulled out all the stops when he scored this low budget classic for Robert L. Lippert.  Each character in the picture was given his own theme and they wre masterfully painted onto a musical canvs that gives this picture more shine than it's low budget would portray.  Aside from coming from a real nifty flick, this is GOOD music!


title: Excellent

text: Gave it to a college professor now in a retirement facility.  He loves it.

title: Beautiful, period pieces

text: A must for Jane Austen fans.


title: Great Overtures

text: Great renditions of the overtures.  Other pieces enjoyable and interesting since they aren't often heard.


title: Little to hear here

text: Well conducted and recorded luscious sound! Another high quality sonic offering that we expect from the Eastman-Rochester Orchestra recordings on Mercury Living Presence. Tracks 1, 7 & 8 are worth listening to, but the rest is the kind of drivel that passed for music in the middle decades of the 20th century.


title: SO-SO CONCERT.

text: ONLY "REFUGEE" WAS A GREAT TRACK. THE REST  HO-HUM!!!


title: Great mellow voice

text: I had never heard of Scott Alarik--that I remember--before 2012 when he was booked for my local folk club's annual festival, and I was asked to share 2 workshops with him.  So I bought his book Revival, and two CD's, this being one of them.  I was blown away by his great mellow voice, his restrained style, and his needle-sharp insights in his own songs.  His interpretations of traditional songs are what I really like because that's been my interest for many years.  I highly recommend all of Scott's work, and he is a really nice guy!


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing alum, a mod's or soulie's must have for sure.

title: Music of the Spheres

text: A co-worker of mine showed me this CD, and I have since acquired my own.  It is so relaxing, lovely, enjoyable and slightly haunting.<br />The thought that went behind this seems awesome to me.  Very much worth the money!  I'm looking forward to more from this artist.


title: Great R&B

text: It's good to hear the music of the artist from back in the day when great  R&B was great R&B and lyrics were thought out.


title: Five Stars

text: Exactly as advertised fast shipping


title: A Blessing

text: The CD came in outstanding condition.  The songs are classic and Edgar Rocha is amazing.  These songs bring me back to back in the days as I was growing up with my good old church buddies.  Thanks for the blessings!


title: Gotta Have Them All!

text:
Broadly speaking, this album is weaker than either the U.S. or Japanese reissues done two years later. But, it's a Struts album, and the Struts are fairly the best thing happening in rock music today. This early release has two tracks not on any other album: "You & I" and "Let's Make This Happen Tonight." The early versions of all other tracks were remastered to some degree for the reissues. Listeners with discerning ears will pick out varying instrumentation. Suffice to say, reissue versions have more punch and fewer pop undertones.

"You & I" is a pop-influenced, mid-tempo rocker. The chorus is great, while the verses are less powerful. It is no shock the track was left off the reissues.

"Let's Make This Happen Tonight" is heavily influenced by early Rolling Stones—the acoustics, reverb, lyrics, tempo, and even the background vocals are pulled right out of early  to mid 1960's British rock. It is the better of the two "missing" songs.

1. Roll Up
2. Could Have Been Me
3. Kiss This
4. Put Your Money on Me
5. She Makes Me Feel [later titled, "She Makes Me Feel Like"]
6. My Machine [also on the Japanese reissue]
7. You & I [exclusive to this release]
8. Dirty Sexy Money
9. Let's Make This Happen Tonight [exclusive to this release]
10. Black Swan
11. Where Did She Go

Want ALL of the Struts? I do, and I bought this import for the missing songs. No regrets. Bear in mind there are other tracks out there not on any physical media, and Luke Spiller also sings on Mike Oldfield's "Man on the Rocks" album. Had to have that, too....


title: Not really pulled from the forties

text: I'm glad I did not pay $100 for this set. I got it for $2, and I'm not certain it is worth that much. These are not tracks that were laid down back in the day. These were recorded much later, in the seventies at the earliest, as cover versions of older popular songs, many by the "Romantic Strings Orchestra"—whoever that was. If you love easy listening and don't care that these are cover versions, then you may like this collection, especially given its range. And Engelbert Humperdinck could sing like few others, so there's that.


title: nice

text: good


title: Beautiful!

text: I had the cassette version of this for years, but it was wearing out due to my over-enjoyment of its music, so I sought a CD replacement and I'm very happy with this one! Used but the sound quality is superb. I LOVE the music on this CD!


title: Five Stars

text: Too much talent


title: If I could go back in time........

text: The two theme songs that readily identify the Back to the Future movie are incredible. The other songs, while well done are just songs from years ago.<br /> I feel the album is worth maybe 12 to $14. Definitely overpriced. Will never order another CD from the folks I got this one from.  I'm disappointed with myself for wasting the money on this.  If I could go back in time I wouldn't buy it.


title: Stellar performances by stellar players.

text: I fell in love with this album the first time through and couldn't stop listening for a week. I still go back to the first cut for another round each time I listen to it through. It's just my kind of post bop jazz, I guess, but it's also straight up solid, powerful music. As a bassist, I couldn't ask for more inspiration in the playing of Charnett Moffett and Victor Bailey, but Rachel Z's piano is so strong and inventive that it makes me want to take up her instrument again. It doesn't get much better than Al Foster and Lennie White on drums. Sweet sax work, too, of course, from David Sanchez and David Mann. This whole album just swings, man. Everybody's feelin' it, and that's what hits the spot.


title: Love it

text: Love this cd


title: While I liked the music

text: While I liked the music, I really don't know much of it. I'm sure if someone was a teen or young adult in 1947 they would have loved it. But it was a bit too early for me. Give me the 60's!!


title: Real Love

text:
To some critics, this is just a grab bag of Beatles outtakes.  To others like me, it's a mini-revelation of sorts, and a chance to revisit Beatles history.  The milestone of this is the Beatles' final collaboration of sorts - "Real Love" - Lennon seems to drive this with real emotion and his former bandmates play with it as if they were all in the studio.  It's a great, fitting tribute to the talent of the entire band.

The second interesting part for me was CD 2 - the embryonic growth of Strawberry Fields Forever - revealed in three successive takes here - makes for a satisfying and different experience of the song.  It feels somewhat dimensionalised.

While not everything is fantastic or that different here, the Beatles were pretty consistent, and what is here makes for a complete Beatles experience.  To enjoy it more, watch the companion DVD set.  Worth the price of admission?  Absolutely.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent!


title: greatest hits from 3 albums

text: Honestly, greatest hits from 3 albums? Kind of cashing in early don't you think?


title: For serious listeners only

text: I know it's listed as "classical", but it's contemporary classical, musique concrete.  Only appreciable on a 5:1 system, definitely one of the more revelatory excursions in noise for those who are familiar with only Merzbow and such stuff.  One feels as though one is floating in a tank containing the brains of Cage, Stockhausen, Sun Ra, etc...


title: NB: This is the Japanese pop band Coil, ...

text: NB:  This is the Japanese pop band Coil, not the British group of the same name.


title: Turkish, electrónica, jazz fusion. Exceptional.

text: I recently discovered this artist. His music is exceptional. This cd is the best, as I compared it to his other cd’s, which are more spiritual. One jacket description states…it is traditional, mystical and seductive music. I’ll add, it is out of the ordinary. I love it!


title: Exceptional contemporary jazz music.

text: Great jazz w/various overtones of Funk, Spanish, East Indian, American Indian & American contemporary music. Congrats to the artists for their creative efforts!  Beautiful & so Unique! Thanks.

title: Quintessential Alice. Highly Recommended.

text: This album, and its title track, is what made me notice Alice Cooper at an early age. Been a fan since. This is probably my favorite Alice Cooper album...and that’s saying something because he has so many great ones. If you love Alice Cooper, you already have this. If you like Alice Cooper, but don’t know but a handful of his songs, I highly recommend this album. If you’re wondering what Alice Cooper is all about and want a good place to start...this is it. Quintessential Alice. Required listening. Highly recommended.


title: The Best, After Modification

text:
I've owned virtually every different memory foam pillow design on the market. The ones with shredded fill feel hard after a while and need constant fluffing, the ones shaped like normal pillows don't feel right at all, and now some of these contoured ones are starting to work. This is the first one I've owned that has this unique hole and depression in the center.

As someone who uses this pillow primarily when on my back, I can say this is now my favorite contoured design. It solves a problem that I was having when using the more standard shape for long periods of time: I noticed discomfort right at the base of the skull where the majority of the pressure is. This depression really spreads out the pressure more evenly and I have been using it ever since making the modifications seen in the pictures.

My favorite contour design prior to this pillow did not have a gradual ramp from the base of the skull to the spine of your neck, rather it had more of a shelf that was shorter. To imitate that I cut about an inch off the bottom ramp. That was working great, but in order to get my head centered in the depression, my shoulders were making contact with the lower left and right wing, so I chopped them off as well. Note, this pillow is vertically symmetrical so I knew I could just revert to the original shape by flipping it if I wanted to. No need, however, these mods worked perfectly and this is hands down the most comfortable back sleeper that I own out of my vast collection.

title: Interesting

text: While interesting, my son (for purposes of the class) has found more useful songs on YouTube particularly for learning the alphabet, counting, colors, and other "basic vocabulary" purposes.


title: Half-Baked Compilation

text: I have purchased different EWF compilations over the last few years in an effort to get great recordings of all the tracks I love. It's been dicey because their compilations (domestic and foreign), vary greatly, and none are consistent in quality. In this case this Australian compilation sounds great on tracks 1 through 9, and not so good on tracks 10 through 17. Where the first 9 sound like full and properly remasters, the rest sound inferior in quality, volume and dynamics. I used to own all their Columbia vinyl and it all sounded bright, punchy and clean. I'll keep this disc for about half of the tracks, but I feel a bit ripped off.


title: Very Good Remastering

text: While none of the "Gold" series of collections are flawless, I must say that this Neil Sedaka collection is one of the best ones. It focuses on his late 50's and early 60's output and does them justice with some of the best remastering I've yet to hear. There are also great tracks I've not heard before. Note: If you want all of Sedaka's early hits then  you need to buy other discs as well....but this is a GREAT start.


title: Recording Quality and Selection Make for An Interesting Listen

text: I've been expanding my music collection by purchasing rarer tracks by famous artists. "Left In The Can" delivers well on that. I do have one or two of these songs on other compilations (e.g. The Tokens), so  tracks are lost in the can to varying degrees. Still, I'd never heard 80% of them. The standouts are tracks by The Shirelles,  Roy Orbison, Del Shannon the Beach Boys and Randy & The Rainbows. There are a couple of bummers in here that should have stayed in the can, but what the heck.  Recording quality on mono and stereo recordings is crystal clean and liner notes give a brief history of artist/song. Overall a great package done with loving care. Well worth adding to your collection if you're an adamant collector like me! Very nice package!


title: Very Poor Quality Disc

text: The majority of the recordings on this disc are made from poor quality 45's. Absolutely no effort was made to make these tracks listenable. Today's audio technology can significantly improve the sound of recordings. I use a software on my own computer that removes or greatly reduces the scratches and pops from my own records, some of which are 50 years old. There's no excuse for this.


title: The Rascals Essentials Complete!

text: Comprehensive and satisfying, this collection shows the diversity of this 60's super-group. Every hit and hot album cut you could ever want to own on this 2 disc cd set.


title: Bee Gees Great Ignored Pop Album

text: In the aftermath of the disco backlash, the Brothers Gibb were unjustifiably shunned and ignored by American program directors at radio stations. As the follow up album to "Spirits having Flown" this collection finds the Bee Gees going back to a more acoustic pop sound. beautifully crafted and performed , this album should have been received much more fanfare and sales in the USA. With mostly mid-temp outings  it deserves a spot in your bee gees collection. Grab it while it's still in print!


title: KISS Import

text: Great set by KISS. Made in Russia. Don't know if it's legit, but it's a beautiful package and the music is insanely good!


title: Electronic 80's dance music

text: Music from back in the day when I haunted the clubs...especially the Uptown Girls' version of "I Know I'm losing You". A great find for me and the recordings are A+


title: Great quality recordings, but....

text: This Alan Parsons collection is full of great music and the sound of all the songs is great. I subtracted one star because the encoding is wrong. When I rip to my computer the track numbers and songs don't correspond. As a result, I have to type the track titles manually. Pain in the behind.


title: Thought it would be better quality

text: I have purchased several Russian imports including titles by Phil Collins, George Harrison, Paul McCartney. This Ozzy collection has great songs on it, but the quality of the recordings are mostly mediocre. Poor dynamics with very little high range. It's not worth the $19.99 + shipping I paid.


title: Five Stars

text: Great album. Nice to have the older mix.


title: I want more

text: More stuff from the old days. I love it!


title: Great!

text: Some songs I had not heard them do yet. Wonderful!


title: Haunting combo of Celtic and New Age music

text: I first had this album way back in 1992. I loved it then and I love it now. It's so peaceful and relaxing, but just peppy enough so that you can accomplish a lot with it playing in the background. The solo flute parts are absolutely gorgeous. It's Irish, New Age and a little acid rock all rolled up together, and doesn't sound dated at all. 😎❤

text: I have had this exact same cassette for over 15 years.  It always puts me in the mood for Christmas.  I wish I could find it on CD.  Every year, it is played over and over and over, holds up very well.  This is one that my children grew up with and love today as young adults so am purchasing them each one of their own for a stocking stuffer in hopes of continuing wonderful memories for them.

title: Excellent production and musical arrangements

text: Raphael's voice is not what it used to be.  However, the production and arrangements by Lucal Vidal is the real star. One word to describe his work, brilliant. This album is worth every penny.  To appreciate what Lucas Vidal has done to Raphael and his fabulous songs from long ago, listen to the entire album.  Lucas blends classical music with a new modern beat that is impossible to resist.


title: Five Stars

text: Classic!


title: An acquired taste

text: I first learned of Ray and Pete from the Drew and Mike radio show on WRIF in Detroit. Eddie Lee Sausage and Mitchell D deciding to make these recordings was a stroke of pure genius (or pure luck). Not for everybody, but if you're warped and demented you'll not be able to get enough, darling.


title: Must have CD for alternative recordings of of top 90s rock

text: I've had this CD since it was first released back in the 90s. A fantastic collection of recordings done at DJ Bob Rivers (now retired) recording studio. Some of these songs have minor differences in how they are played and are, IMHO, better than the radio releases.


title: One of my ATFs!

text: Track for track, one of my favorite gospel albums ever.  I just so happen to have been a member of Beacon Light and was present at the live performance... unforgettable... spirit through the roof!  To the other reviewers question, I did speak with Bishop some time ago and, no, there is no current plan to re-release the album.  I lost mine in Katrina and was able to get the songs from a friend whom I had gifted the cd over two decades ago!


title: Awesome

text: Awesome


title: Good but not a complete solution

text: It does make many records sound better, however it is not a substitute for an alcohol based cleaner with regard to heavily soiled and very dirty records. I had to reclean all of these. I use a Music Hall record cleaner and Nitty Gritty Pure 2 solution.


title: Incredible!

text: The old EMI LP and CD transfers of this famous recording were so terrible that I finally decided to spend the money on this Japanese SACD single layer. If you want to hear a recording that knocks you socks off of some overwhelming music this would be it. A lot of people, including a relative of Otto Klemperer, I know, believe this was his best recording. You will be a believer after you hear this.


title: Re mastered songs would be better.

text: Love John Denver. A lot of old versions of his songs that were not produced very well. Pretty much covers his whole career, but would have been great re mastered. Still beautiful songs.


title: Five Stars

text: Quality really good. Love the Dream Theater way of doing Pink Floyd.


title: Not the best rendition of this music

text: The performance of Beethoven’s quartets is mediocre in my opinion.  Especially his late quarters are played without the spirit of the music.  The Takas quartet does a much better job on his late quartets.


title: Great music!

text: Excellent album and wonderful music.  I received the LP in error and wanted it as a CD.  So be careful when ordering this music.  The return was handled according to Amazon’s rules.


title: Fantastic work of art

text: The music is excellent.  The performance is top notch. If you like classical music with a coral element you will be enthusiastic about this music


title: Buy a different version of the War Mass

text: In the first five minutes there is a surge of bass noise.  Plus his performance is too short.

title: Yikes! No One Cares!

text:
this little piece by Lena and Sammy might actually be either an experiment or a labor of love. You never know which because no one really bought it. It did average on the charts, but I was too young to really know. I actually heard it a few weeks ago at a friend's house. I wondered what it was and saw the cover. I had no idea ms. horn and the rat had ever worked together. it's as average as average gets, though. standouts on the album are:

When I Fall In Love...

and

A Fine Romance.


title: Wonderful recording but sadly, only available on vinyl

text: Only one other review on 'Five Years Later' besides mine. How sad that another ECM masterpiece gets ignored. As far as I know this recording has never been released to CD or MP3. The first collaboration album of Abercrombie and Towner was with 'Sargasso Sea', released in 1976. Five years later after 'Sargasso Sea, this album was released. Vinyl is the only format that this piece can be listened. Fortunately I have a great vinyl music setup. I agree that 'Five Years Later' is better than 'Sargasso Sea'. This is great music, sublime and interesting and well performed. The ECM Euro-Jazz genre has fallen out of favor. This music has a small following to begin with. The fact that this piece is only available on vinyl narrows the audience even more. It's more than a shame. It's a crime. One more comment to my review, I went through the trouble of buying two copies of this LP. That should tell you how strongly I feel about 'Five Years Later'.


title: Not best of saturated field

text: Recently resubscribed to Dave’s Picks. With this first pic of the new batch, I wish I had not. If you follow Dead releases, You know that much if not most of the 1977 spring tour already has been released. No doubt it was one of the best tours in Dead history. Well, here is yet another release, this time May 26 from Baltimore. This makes the 15th spring 1977 release that I own, and I am not a completist. In fact, I know there are other Spring 1977 releases because Dave tells us that Dave #1, Which I don’t have, came from this tour. OK. It was a great tour. But this is not an especially good show. The song list is only so so, and nightmare of nightmares this cd has Donna’s first and last venture into songwriting, Sunrise. Now I actually enjoy Donna much of the time. Never of course when she is wailing on Playing in the Band. That is always God awful. But Sunrise is worse. Of course, that one song cannot ruin the rest of the three CD set. And much of it is pretty good. There is a lovely, long Sugaree. But for the most part, this adds nothing to my collection and I won’t be listening to it frequently. Even if you want to buy spring 1977, there are far better choices. Oh yes, the other god-awful thing about new releases is Dave’s mini essay. Pompous. Pretentious.  Self aggrandizing. Bereft of content. This one is not, however, as bad as Dave on Fresno, “city of broad shoulders.” Right.


title: Forgotten classic

text:
I was amazed, and quite pleased, to find this album was still available and not entirely forgotten, though it never made much of a splash even when released around 1970. I was lucky enough to hear it and buy a copy way back when, thanks largely to Phoenix, Arizona's first (and maybe only) progressive radio station KCAC, which will be remembered with fondness for its low output and (original) dawn to dusk AM format.  It was later KDKB, which eventually got away from the loose, experimental, listener friendly format--but hey, before that it was just top 40 KRIZ and KRUX with the most requested song of the hour, every hour on the hour.
In any case, this album came during the singer-songwriter heyday of folk-rock.  Not every song is special, but there are enough really good, interesting, observant songs to make it a memorable album.  At least 3 or 4 are really terrific, but no one else ever covered them, so to name them serves little purpose ("Laughter Turns to Blue," "Silk on Steel," etc.)  It was my favorite, or one of them, for quite awhile.  John Compton had a more than decent voice, and the supporting musicians were great, including Jim Messina of Loggins and Messina fame, Rusty Young, and King Errisson on the congas. However, the thing that really set the album apart and above others of its ilk was Robin Batteau's amplified violin.  It is mesmerizing and weaves its way in and out of the songs (with an occasional solo) holding them together and giving them a unique feel.  The duo lasted only one album (tho they were in an earlier group, Appaloosa (sp?), which also lasted one album that I have never heard).  Apparently Compton did some solo work that you can find on-line, tho I have not heard it.  Batteau has done quite a bit of studio work over the years and paired in Buskin and Batteau.  I know he has been a part of the New Year's eve events that Tom Rush has organized in Boston.
If you grew up in this era as a folk-rock fan, I think you will really enjoy this album.  It reminded me of the way songs were crafted and mixed at the time and it brought back some great memories. Too bad it never made it to CD and that it is SO expensive. Still, you might find it worth it.  I was happy that I saved my albums and kept a working turntable and could dig it out and enjoy it again after many years.


title: damaged unslealed product with no photocard

text: also, the item was not sealed and the photocard is missing. Photobook doesnt feel new. it feels as if someone's been through it a couple of times. The last page that has the cd on it shouldnt flap open easily as mine does.

If you are reading a review of Dark Side Of The Moon I am going to assume you are either an ardent fan wanting to know if this edition is significantly better than the well played copy you already own, or you’re an audiophile interested in knowing if this remaster is worthy of your system. For those who want a quick answer, YES to both; if you prefer more details read on. First the basics, I’m reviewing the Experience Edition, it contains on disc one a 2011 digital remaster of the original album and on disc two a live performance recorded at Wembley in 1974 where the band performed the album from start to finish. The remaster is outstanding, certainly sounding much better than my original CD from 1984, but I’m not going to concentrate on disc one because the real excitement was on disc two. Usually on these two disc remasters the second disc contains supplemental material like alternate takes, unreleased songs or a few live versions; interesting, but usually not something I want to listen to all the way through more than once. Disc two on this set is not only eminently listenable, it’s actually a refreshing take on a great album that for me has grown a bit stale by over play. To serve both fans and geeks I’m going to break down the review by the artistic performance quality on the disc and the technical quality.

Performance: The live performance starts much like the album, the aural effects are rendered surprisingly well considering it was recorded in front of an audience, the first 4 songs cleave pretty closely to the original album (though the guitar on Time hints at a change to come); the first real sign this performance might not follow the album to the letter comes on The Great Gig In The Sky where the vocal solos are much more evocative and soulful in spots and far more aggressive and guttural in others, by turns suggestive of Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. On Money, always a bluesy song, the band throws away any pretense that it’s anything but; starting off with a distinctly blues inspired  bass line and sax leading to an explosive extended guitar solo by Gilmore who leaves no doubt as to the influence Chicago Blues had on his playing. For Us and Them, the blues slips further south, the pipe organ and lonely muted sax reminiscent of a steamy stroll through the French Quarter which leads us to Any Colour You Like and another Chicago Blues take (with a bit of funk thrown in for good measure); the extended Gilmore solo is a scorcher, where at times I was sure he was actually playing Lucille. After four outstanding variations from the original album, the concert cools us down and finishes as it began, with a faithful rendition of the album, nicely book-ending what must have been an incredible experience. In my opinion the live disc alone is worth the price of the set and is a must own for any serious fan. A+

Technical: As a non-engineer I can just say I was blown away by all aspects of disc two; this is the best live recording I’ve heard, the sound is near studio quality to say nothing of replicating the myriad sound effects in front of an audience. The technical skill of the recording and the mastering is demonstrated to full effect on On The Run; not only is the dynamic range on this performance incredible, producing the lowest sustained frequency I ever heard (rather felt) on a CD other than a test disc. This take is my new go-to for showing what my system can do, the highs are crisp and clean, the bass is deep and booming without veering into muddy and how they duplicated the spatial effects live baffles me. On The Run will put any system to the test and while the disc is worth hearing for the performance alone it really screams for a quality system that can handle it’s full dynamic range and replicate the concert experience. For the uber nerds out there who care, I used my Denon DCD-600NE’s onboard 32 bit DAC as source for my Cambridge Audio XR100 powering Klipsch RP-8000’s. A+

The only quibble I have with the set is the packaging; while the glossy stock trifold is attractive (a perfect mini version of the iconic sleeve), I hate having any discs slide in and out of cardboard, especially high quality disc like these; also, the “booklet” is beyond sparse with no notes whatsoever, just lyrics. Normally I’d deduct a star but the content is just too good, I will just use some old CD-R jewel cases for storage; this set is a definite must have for fans and audiophiles alike!


title: A "True" Beatle Concert Experience.

text: This CD gives a very real experience of what a Beatles concert was like back then. It does not have the polished sound of the "Hollywood Bowl" show (which received much studio work to clean it up). The vocals are often distorted, as I'm sure they had to turn things up as loud as they could to be heard. The playing and singing is not necessarily top-notch, as they often could not hear themselves, but I'll go back to my original point. If you want to experience what I'm sure many shows were like, then this is a must-have CD. The banter between songs is funny, and the true hysteria of the crowd is evident.  For the most part, the sound is OK, although it sometimes lacks a bit. It does sound like it came from the stage, or at least near it, not somewhere out in the audience. Authorized? Probably not. Entertaining? Yes! Any Beatlemaniac should get this!

There is even one point when the announcer comes out during the show to try to calm people down (I'm sure it didn't really help). For the most part, the sound is good. It does sound like it came from the stage, not somewhere out in the audience. Authorized?  Probably not. Entertaining?  Yes!  Any Beatlemaniac should get this!


title: First Disc is Great

text: it's my preference, but i enjoyed the studio cuts more, they are on the first disc.  on the second disc, which is live, some jerk keeps hooting and hollering- he must have known that they were recording, and he selfishly made a lot of noise throughout the entire second disc.  it's still worth the price just for the first 20 songs.


title: WOW

text: I have seen the entire length of his performance (with some guest singer duets) in Las Vegas and could not take my eyes off of the TV.  These recordings are a good sampling of his talent; you will not be disappointed with this product.


title: No bad but

text: This is not the best selection I have being hear from Lorador. It is OK but since no new production comes from the musician it is most likely my last purchase of his disks.


title: Not in English, But Well Done Vintage Remakes

text:
This CD is not for everyone.  Half the tracks (but less than half the time) involve Havelka speaking in Czech to his audience.  The songs are generally unfamiliar and not in English.  The music is great, and the songs are true to the 20s, 30s, and 40s style.

This CD is not for everyone, but if you enjoy an international touch and don't mind listening to songs you do not understand (or speak Czech, Slovak, or Polish), then this might be for you!


title: Great 20's and 30's sound!

text: This is a great rendition of 1920s and 30's music.  Both Havelka and the female vocalists are exceptional, and most songs are in English. If you enjoy authenitc remakes of  1920s and 30s music, you should love this CD!  Real pros out of the Czech Republic, where vintage  American jazz is still appreciated.


title: Great album. Hyo we love you in the USA!!!

text: Absolutely perfect album from Hyo. Her dark side definitely comes out in this. Love love love it. Poster was HUGE!! Album inserts and design are awesome.


title: They did it again. Flawless album.

text: What’s not to like? Arrived quickly and with so many goodies inside I can’t find one thing to complain about!


title: Good luck finding a better pop song than “new”.

text: The best of the best. KPOP majesty.


title: Great Worship CD

text: This is a great CD from a great group. Listening to the Maranatha Promise Band again reminds me of my days with Promise Keepers in the 1990's and early 2000's.


title: Great Hits

text: The "Your Hit Parade" was a really good group of CD's put out by Time-Life a few years ago.  1959 was a good year for music and this CD features the best. This CD is getting more rare and the price is sure to skyrocket.


title: Great cleaning solution for LPs.

text: This product works great the the Record Doctor, that I use.  This is apparently geared for record cleaning machines so if that is what you have, this solution works great.  It is concentrated so it will last a long time.  Just mix a little with distilled water.


title: Great CD

text: Sounds great!  Brought back many good memories!


title: Classic

text: Sounds great, but doesn't all TMBG?


title: great cd

text: I got this recently.. love the album.  Strong music and lyrics.  One I will listen to over and over.


title: Great Seller and Great Product!

text: Really good! Got some cute extra photo cards and everything (including the CD) was in excellent condition.


title: Beautiful music by Haim Israel

text: I've been a fan of Haim Israel for awhile now. My first exposure to his music was the song, Melachim, and I feel his music captures the essence of the Sephardi/Jewish spirit. This album, Asafti Rega'im, is amazing, and has great song after great song. I've grown fond of some of the songs, including Bashaot Hachi Ktanot, to the point of printing out the Hebrew lyrics to follow along! If you enjoy Israeli (religious) music, I highly recommend this album.


title: Had been curious about this album for years

text:
As a big Stevie fan, I had been curious about this album for years, and have only ever heard one song off of it (Long Distance Winner is on Stevie's Box Set).  Overall, I am glad I heard it.  At least one of these songs was later re-done by Fleetwood Mac.  The sound isn't really all that different from the Mac work.

Its not obvious to me that this is a bootleg.  Yes, some of the liner notes look like they were scanned on a cheap scanner by a high school intern, but there IS a record label name here (Anthem Records) and it says it was made in Australia and digitally remastered.  Any of this could be a lie, but doesn't scream "bootleg."  I don't hear any skips or pops like a recording from vinyl.


title: Showed up early and in pristine condition

text: My cassette arrived in great shape. Would definitely order from half price books again. They're fair with their grading and prices


title: Would have gotten 5 stars if it was an actual 79 release vs an 88 reissue

text: Great tape in collectors quality shape but i was sent the 1988 bblc10 reissue instead of the 1979 first pressing. With how rare this album seems to be I'm just happy to own any copy of it

I first heard Father Ray's rendition of Hallelujah on YouTube and remembered being instantly charmed as were 40 other million listeners! This eagerly awaited collection of songs is amazing, easy to listen to, really inspiring. Father Ray's uniquely sweet and mellow voice is like a deep breath of fresh air. There is no down side, all songs really enjoyable, well mastered, I thought the unique spice of Irish flavor was delightful. Loved the voices of the choir in the background of Hallelujah and the children's choir. Really enjoyed the inspired (and inspiring) selection of songs, Everybody Hurts rendition is heartfelt, the happy tune Love Shine the Light will stick in your head for days. Father Ray's words in the booklet insert are priceless. All of it, nicely done! I hope there are many more on the way!!!
TRACKS:
-Together Forever (The Wedding Song)
-Hallelujah
-Galway Bay
-Everybody Hurts
-How Marvelous
-Where I Belong
-Isle of Hope
-Tears in Heaven
-Amazing Grace
-Oh Danny Boy
-How Great Thou Art
-Love Shine a Light

text: Saw the biography and had to have all his albums. I already had the major ones. There is alot to miss otherwise. Great Music Always.


was one of my favorite movies and sound tracks many years ago, and I recently rediscovered it. Such a pleasure. Only problem, the music makes me have a heavy foot on the gas while driving...how do you explain to a cop that it was the music's fault, when you're almost 70 years old...no sense of humor.


title: The tunes are great

text: II like it


title: Get Down!

text: Bruno Mars is a once-in-a-generation talent. His music is singable and dance-able and funky like old-school soul music. A real joy to hear. Love the sassy humor he and his Hooligans bring to each performance.


title: Good Music

text: This is a great praise and worship CD. I highly recommend any music by the DayStar singers.


title: Epik High is Here!

text: I'm always hesitant to order albums online, but this was perfect! The album came in great shape and I was happy to be able to get it on Amazon. This was definitely one of my favorite Epik High albums.


title: Perfect!

text: Perfect and exactly as advertised!  I was thrilled to be able to get the version that I wanted.


title: Great cd but..

text: This is a great Cd, all the songs I grew up listing too, however when i unpacked it, the case was cracked it 3 different places!


title: The Silver fox

text: Tried to return this but gave it to my mom instead, she love it. So I got one.


title: A MUST FOR AUDIOPHILES

text:
Alan Parsons has done an incredible job mixing his original tapes in to a masterpiece.
The surround sound is so tastefully done and I have listened to this 4 times.
I did but it on Amazon UK which in this case proved to be a shorter turn around time. I ordered it on August 17 and recieved it today on August 30th.
As one reviewer put it this is also my go to surround sound music demonstration.
And thank you also Mr. Parsons for making the stand alone Blu-ray audio for those of us who cannot afford the box set as much as I would like it.

text: I purchased all of these I could find....except the one for $99.00. The album itself is of no importance to me becasue the songs are on other albums. It is the cover I coveted. The lovely young woman featured on the cover is my Kumu, Puanani Alama (in 1958). I gifted the others I bought to Hula Sisters in my Halau and our Kumu autographed them for us. Priceless to us! Mahalo nui loa to you and to al the other sellers....

I ordered this because I own it but lost the vocal CD. I figured having 2 if the instrumental CDs would be ok, I can have one for Grandma's house.

This came today and it did have the vocal CD but instead of the instrumental CD it had a Baby Einstein CD in the package. I'd give it 5 stars if it was actually complete as advertised.

product title is slightly misleading - yes, she does often play with the band JAURIM - but this is more of a solo album. track listing on the amazon product page is correct. if you need to look it up in freedb/cddb, the disc-ID is: 910ad90b.

I had to listen with the volume turned down since I was at work, but it was still quite lovely. funny, not being able to hear the words distinctly, it sounded alternately like classical Gaelic songs, and Gypsy ones.

I could not have asked for a more wonderful gift from a very special person.


title: Excellent delivery

text: Excellent! On time and as described


title: 21 Rock Hits All In One Album Are you Kidding?!

text: Where else could you get 21 solid rock hits in one album??? AND<<<< at the time, they sold for $2.95. This was an era not to forget. This album is that era as well as all the other Solid Rock Hit albums distributed at that time. Buy it and you won't be sorry.

text: This band was so good.  I absolutely love the album.  The live stuff was the best, though.<br />So many talented musicians in Memphis  Mash o Matic is just a prime example.


title: My faavorite soundtrack of all time!

text: When I first saw this movie I fell in love with it as well as the soundtrack right from the start. I only wish that I could have found this soundtrack in CD form but I am grateful in able to locate it on the original LP .


title: Great cd

text: Great cd and great seller!


title: Great Single

text: One of the best singles from the For Those About to Rock album. AC/DC never stop entertaining its fans with catchy riffs and naughty lyrics about women, sex, and romance.


title: musical excellence

text: Trials of Imaginearum contains much of the expected brilliant work from Nightwish all those years. This album contains demos that are later recorded on the Imaginearum album. The demo is adequately brilliant even without the formal mastering quality comparing with Imaginearum. I highly recommend this lp to anyone.


title: great experimentation

text: Elements 1 & 2 continued the band's success and experimentation beyond their usual fast riffs and solos popularized by Timo Tolkki and Jens Johansson. Various songs like Eagleheart, Soul of a Vagabond, and Elements demonstrated a shift to a more melodic style of metal progressively more ears friendly and intoned to a wider audience of metal listeners. Arguably Elements 1 & 2 are less appreciated than their predecessors due to the long lists of songs that are musically similar on both albums.


title: one the best singles

text: One is arguably one of Metallica's best singles to date. It is one of the more emotional and catchy songs they've produced during their career. It has a similar musical structure as Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, as it starts off with a slow, clean melody and gradually evolve into a heavier and fast pace full metal riffs and solos. The B-side of the single contains ...And Justice for All's bonus track, The Prince, which is a rarely played songs in Metallica's catalog.


title: awesome album

text: Vitas is arguably one of the greatest singers ever existed in the history of modern music. He's greatly recognized with his signature dolphin voice which is memorable among many ears of his audience. A kiss of infinity long is a lot more poppy, however his naturally-unique voice will never be forgotten.


title: love the japanese import

text: Ride the Lightning is one of my favorite Metallica album. It presents a fast and harsh music and lyrics, respectively, similar to that style of Slayer. I often state that Ride the Lightning and Kill'em All are two progenitors of thrash and death metal albums.


title: great cd

text: This is my favorite Avicii's single although he has so far released only 2 singles. It is an entirely new style of electronic music by another talented DJ. Great Single!


title: review for MDM vinyl

text: This is a great album which revived the true Metallica sound from its previous awful St. Anger. This is also one of the most played Metallica albums online as well. It is a great present for a person who is a Metallica fanatic.


title: amazing product and service

text: I surely loved the product. Will buy more from the seller. However, the vinyl has a little skip on one of the songs. So, don't know what's up with that. Overall, the product is satisfactory!


title: Is what it says it is

text: It is what it says it is


title: Much more to offer than "Wild Thing."

text: Great stuff here.  Many great songs I'd never even heard of.  It's a shame more folks don't know more about this band.  They had a lot more to offer than just "Wild Thing"and "Love Is All Around.". Check out"THE VERY BEST OF THE TROGGS."


title: Listening to this CD is like seeing Sinatra in person!

text: Sinatra is captured at his very peak-performance best, swinging effortlessly through many of his most popular songs with a crowd that clearly appreciates him.  If you want to know what it was like to attend a Sinatra concert up close and personal, put on your headphones, close your eyes and put this CD on... It's better than a time machine!


title: I'm a new fan... And I liked this album!

text:
I only became aware of Lenny LeBlanc's recent work recently when our church did a collection of music which included a part of his song "We All Bow Down," a contemplative, personal reminder of why we worship. If this album is any indication, however, LeBlanc's typical mode is outgoing, positive, playful and confident in style, befitting the man who was a rock legend before he gave his life to the Lord ("Falling," his smash 1978 hit as a part of the duo "LeBlanc and Carr"). Recorded live in a church in Atlanta, you can feel the electricity in this performance.

"Look My Way" has a distinctly rock beat, with southern flavors from the 1970's but still solid gold rock. If you're a Hammond B-3 organ fan you'll love "Say Your Name," a reflection on how good Jesus is. "All For You," goes back to Lenny's rock roots with excellent electric guitar work from guitarist David Moyse adding exactly the right touch without overdoing the overdrive. "Only Love" is my favorite cut from the album, beginning "What could make this world a better place? Nothing less than Amazing Grace!" "I'm Crazy" throws the rock-and-roll into overdrive, declaring "I'm wild about what I mean to you!" Title cut "One Desire" sums it up with a contemplative piano-accompanied solo which ties the album together very nicely. The engineering on this album makes it feel like you are on the first row of the auditorium, and LeBlanc is singing right there in front of you... well done!

If you're a Christian and you liked rock before the 80's you will like this album. If you're wondering what Lenny LeBlanc's music is all about, check out his song "One Desire" on Youtube.


title: As A Guy, I'm Almost Embarrassed To Post This...

text:
...But I have to admit that this is a pretty amazing album!

I have been aware of Taylor Swift for many years and my wife has always like her music.  Admittedly, I have enjoyed a small number of her radio hits, but I'm generally a metal and hard rock music guy and I never thought I'd ever like a Taylor Swift album.

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago when my niece was playing this CD over and over in the car while she was visiting.  I found myself really liking the catchy riffs, interesting lyrics and creative song structures Taylor Swift has embued this album with.  Her style is definitely her own and I can respect that.

I think the first song that really caught my attention was "Welcome to New York"...I mean, holy 1980's synth-pop!  I loved it, super catchy.

From there, I found myself treading the various themes and intricacies of what is no doubt a very deeply creative offering from Ms.Swift.  The album touches on a wide range of heart-felt experiences and I left very impressed with almost everything I heard on the album.  The "Deluxe" version is particularly great because of the extra material that really makes the "art" of the music feel personal.

I can't promise I'll become a full time Taylor fan, but I have garnered a whole new respect for her musical prowess with this album!

Highly recommended!


title: One of my favorite soundtracks

text: I've owned this soundtrack twice over. The first one I owned got stolen (along with many many more) when I took my car in for a repair. After that I decided to re-build my collection and definitely one of the top 3, if not the #1, was this soundtrack. There are various styles of music, but for sure my favorite ones are the ones with percussion. I find myself tapping to the beat as the music plays. Very upbeat. I am surprised as well that not too many people have heard about this album. I strongly recommend it.

title: Solid CDs Of Hits And "Should Have Been Hits"

text: Like any greatest hits compilations, these CDs might not contain all your favs, but they do offer a good solid 45 minutes of hits on CD 2, with CD 1 providing exposure to "hits that should have been".  Sound quality is excellent.


title: 3 Problems With This CD - None Of Them Are Frank's

text: 1. SONG SELECTION  2. SONG ORDER.  3. SONG ARRANGEMENT<br />Re Song Selection: given that CD is limited to 24 songs, it's understandable that certain "bests" (eg, Summer Wind, High Hope's, etc) didn't make the cut, but where did "Nice N Easy" come from?  Never ever heard this song. 2. Re Song Order:  absent some rationale that I can't discern, the playing order of the songs seems haphazard, resulting in a constant switching of slow/mellow vs fast/upbeat songs at 1-song intervals.  Its disconcerting.  3. Re Song Arrangement:  the arrangements of several of the songs appear to be altered from those typically associated, particularly with regard to the "lighter, breezier" songs.  The CD's version of "Mack The Knife" was/is atrocious.


title: Great cd

text: My order was delayed, and the package was damaged,but the cd was ok. It's a great cd. Tim Hill has a great voice, and music inspirational.


title: Concertos maravillosos

text: Aunque no me considero un fanático incondicional de los concertos de flauta de Mozart, los cuales, por lo general siento que son piezas algo ligeras y, de expresión limitada, a diferencia de otros concertos del compositor austriaco a los cuales considero sus mejores composiciones (principalmente sus sinfonías concertantes); debo reconocer que la orquesta de cámara Orpheus ha realizado un trabajo excepcional con el concerto para flauta No. 1; no solo suena brillante y con excelente tempos (ni muy rápido que ahogue las melodias, ni muy lento que las distorcione), sino que hay cierta flexibilidad en cuanto a la relación solista orquesta que le da un aire de originalidad que muy pocas interpretaciones logran. No obstante, el concerto para flauta y arpa, auqnue muy bien tocado por ambos solistas pareciera sufrir de cierta opacidad cuando se trata del arpa, la cual siempre se escucha en términos de acompañante de la flauta e, incluso, de la orquesta; lo cual no es que sea del todo grave o malo, más bien le da al concerto una atmosfera más controlada y exacta que beneficia a la composición como un todo orgánico... para mí gusto esta bien, ya que me gustan interpretaciones con cierto grado de originalidad; sin embargo, para los oyentes que esperen un arpa que asuma la batuta y despliegue toda su energía expresiva, debo decir que esta no es la interpretación salvo por el hermoso andantino, que para mi es la joya de la corona; es más, creo este movimiento, no solo salva una ya excelente interpretación (con su opacidad y todo), sino que le da un lugar significativo en la discografía de esta composición de Mozart. Uno de mis concertos favoritos... quizás la pregunta sería, que si hay un buen nivel expresivo y comunicativo en relación a ambos solistas, mi opinión es que sí, pero que siempre la fluta se siente como el instrumento a destacar y, el arpa de acompañamiento, lo cual no le resta colorido musical... en fin, un cd con interpretaciones excelente en sus propios méritos. Recomendable.


title: Brahms para la eternidad

text: El concierto para violin y orquesta de Brahms siempre ha sido una de esas pocas composiciones que me recuerdan que aspectos como la perfección y lo humano es posible... en este sentido, la interpretación de Mutter y Karajan es única en el repertorio discográfico (por lo menos para mi), ya que, nos permite escuchar a un solista que tiene pleno control sobre la composición al punto que se nos presentan algunos pasajes intrincados de manera flexibles, pero sin olvidar al Brahms reflexivo y fuerte que todos amamos... por otra parte, el concepto que tiene el director, en relación a lo idiomático del compositor, nos permite apreciar una rendición en donde los matices y la claridad del tiembre de los instrumentos es destacado por encima de la fortaleza sinfónica; o lo que es lo mismo, en ningún momento se pierden los intrumentos dentro de la orquestación del alemán. En fín, para mí esta es una grabación para la eternidad. Muy recomendable.

text: Great set!


title: One Star

text: Not what was expected


title: You can just never go wrong with AL Green

text: Anyone that says they are a big music fan, should have at least one or two AL Green CDs. I didn't know he wrote some of the songs here. Man is a genius.

title: Poor recording quality

text: I love Elvis but there are so many songs on here that I have never heard and I am in my mid 50's.....


title: Song choices

text: This cd was a gift.  I didnt enjoy all of the music selections on this cd.  Ms.Walshes voice is pleasant but it wasnt enough to carry the cd selections.
