title: Soothing, as the title suggests

text: I am not sure that I have ever heard this CD through to the end! But I do enjoy starting it to play before getting into bed.


title: Wilma Could Sing!

text: So glad to find this great album from an almost forgotten and overlooked country songstress.


title: Maravilloso material de mi grupo favorito

text: Soy admiradora del grupo y tengo los vídeos de los conciertos ya que son muy buenos. El material está súper y de muy buena calidad. Imprescindible para seguidores del grupo y amantes de la  buena música.

title: Five Stars

text: great cd


title: Love

text: Listen to when I'm having trouble going to sleep. Very peaceful.


title: hard to find swing CD

text: This is a great swing CD.  It is great for Lindy Hop.  This is a hard to find CD.  I believe the vocalist is no longer with the band so distribution was halted on its release.


title: Great Music

text: I’ve always loved that album and then the CD. I had lost my CDs so I replaced it. It came on time and in good condition and I’m enjoying it immensely.

title: After the Ball by Beegie Adair

text: If you like the old time songs this album is for you, I've really enjoy it. This album has the kind of songs that will make you relax and forget about the day.


title: Great CD

text: Nice collection of songs


title: One would be better off going to a pharmacy and getting a finger ...

text: "The rigid aluminum splint inside the brace prevents your finger from bending by stabilizing the bottom metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP joint) so it doesn't lock or catch."  Wrong. The splint is somewhat flexible and does not stabilize your finger as described.  It is way overpriced for the lack of support, comfort or product functionality.  One would be better off going to a pharmacy and getting a finger splint.  I have dealt with trigger finger for sometime and this did not provide me with the "rigid" support as you are led to believe.  Per the seller this item is non returnable.


title: Maria Schneider - Sky Blue

text: We love everything she does.  There are very few women in the jazz genre and fewer yet that write and perform and direct their own material.  Try her out.  I think you will enjoy her./


title: Five Stars

text: I love the music so much ... it is great!


title: It's great

text: I love it :)


title: Love it

text: Sounds amazing


title: Cd

text: It was bought as a gift she loved it


title: an album for hipsters

text: did you like music in the 90's that often left you shoved into lockers or on the receiving end of a swirly? then revisit the music you onced loved (or still do because no amount of toilet water will defer you from your love of xtc) in a slightly different way, acoustical. i must say, i do really like this album. it makes me happy. it may do the same for you. Play it nice and loud, because i'm sure you now employ the bullies that once made it so difficult to listen before.


title: Beautiful Selections

text: There's nothing bad to say about Johnny Mathis or his music. He's one of the very best.


title: Beautiful melodies, words

text: Lou the Rock & Roll poet. Beautiful melodies, words, and sentiments.


title: Bonus Tracks Don’t Disappoint!

text: Needs ten stars! Fusion rock, and electrified “light orchestra” with cellos and violin, incredibly catchy tunes, including one of their more famous, “Evil Woman.” The bonus tracks are worth the price. Instrumental versions, unreleased song, ELO fans need this. I’ve nearly worn my CD out.


title: Big Sound, Gorgeous Songs

text: Beautiful music! Former members of ELO doing originals with a huge sound, full orchestrations and high tech. Not ELO songs, but with music this great and large, who cares?


title: Very good

text: Worked out real well


title: Best background music ever.

text: Good mix of easy listening.


title: Music is very nice

text: This singer is always good, glad he came back for this album. His son sounds good too


title: Nice addition to a music library

text: This CD was in great condition and arrived in less than the expected time. I love the Sonatina!  I once played this as a student, and wanted to hear it again.


title: Elvis Fan

text: Am old, am an Elvis die-hard fan and love any of his music; but this one really says a lot to me now days. The man had a voice not yet equaled in my opinion.


title: A Little Too Disjointed, But Interesting Main Character

text: Had A Certain October been written in a more linear fashion, I would have easily given it four stars.  The author takes too long to get to the heart of the story, namely a tragedy that shakes Scotty to her very core.  Although this book is very short, the character of Scotty is exceedingly well developed.  Her anguish, then jubilation, comes through very clearly and the small snapshot into her life definitely had me interested.  The author uses the flashback method, as well as the "it was just a dream" one, which takes away from the believability of the story.  As a reader, it is hard to rely on the recollections of the main character when some of which that is presented as fact initially is explained away. I am interested to read more by author Angela Johnson, especially if the book is longer and has more plot line possibilities.


title: Innovative Album

text: We purchased this CD after listening to Nyle Frank play in our local bookstore in Petoskey, Michigan. He autographed it for us. I enjoy listening to it from time to time. Like the original songs.


title: Rockin' Country

text: Saw her open for Kip Moore last year and her vocals and guitar style reminded me of Bonnie Raitt. This CD does not disappoint! Many influences from rock to country to blues. Hope to hear more from her soon!

text: oldie goldie


title: Great album!

text: Awesome debut album with Joe Stump on the axe.  Wish these guys had done a follow-up.  This album is a (sadly) lost gem.


Love baby first tv especially Harry the bunny


title: Five Stars

text: I did think I was getting a CD, not a cassette.


title: Great Music

text: Great price for this item. If you love Salsa music then you must have this one for your library. Diego Gale is a fine artist that produces great dancing music. I love this CD.


title: Rock on . . .

text: Again and as always, some music put on there are of ones really never heard of before!


title: Just what I expected.

text: It is nice to listen to old radio again, I enjoy it very much.


title: way to expensive for THREE songs!!

text: I was expecting the song "Black and White" to be arranged in different ways, such as sound just like when I got the DVD for "Come to me".  Waste of my money :(


title: This album is the best!

text: Love the songs on this album.  My favorite forerunner music album.  I highly recommend it.


title: Favorite Artist EVER!

text: If i could choose one artist to listen to for the rest of my life it would be John Tussey's music. Why? Because it fills my spirit, gives me peace and gives healing to my soul. On a journey to collect all his cds.


title: A must for your collection

text: Excellent. A must for any collection.


title: Beautiful

text: Beautiful calming music. I’ve had this album for 30+ years and I adore it

text: Love it….


title: Great Fiddle Music, But Brief Versions of Tunes

text:
Graham Townsend was a fine Canadian fiddler who died too young.  He was a master of Canadian fiddling, but he also showed a fondness for both traditional Appalachian fiddle music and bluegrass (this collection includes "Orange Blossom Special").

Production of this CD is somewhat marred by the heavy bass and percussion (really, one wants the fiddle to be more prominent on an album featuring that instrument).  Although the disk offers a terrific sampling of Townsend's music, you can't get 100 tunes onto a standard CD without doing some serious abbreviation.  This CD contains 28 tracks, so most of the 100 tunes are combined into medleys (thereby making it difficult to locate a specific tune precisely), and the versions of most numbers are very short.  The end result is more of a tasting menu than a full meal.  Nonetheless, the project makes for very pleasant listening, and it confirms Townsend's place as one of the great fiddlers in the folk tradition.


title: Bought this knowing it was great.

text: I had a copy of this recording when I was in college and listened all the time.  It is my favorite interpretation of these pieces.  I have heard others, that have photos of the young, attractive pianist on the front cover, but they pale in comparison to Gilels for me.<br />Love this on vinyl.  I grew up with vinyl, then cassette tapes, CDs, digital downloads, and now streaming.  "Old school" vinyl works great for this recording.


title: What you need to relax

text: I use this CD at night and go to sleep tovit.  Very soothing music.


title: I didn't know this was just one song!

text: I love this song, but somehow I thought for $23 I was getting the whole CD, not just one song!!!


title: Power and passion

text:
Strength is in my top 10 albums of all time.  There's nothing like putting on the headphones and wrapping myself in the beautiful fabric of it.

This is one of those albums that is too good to break down into separate tracks on my .mp3 player.  I wait until I have time to listen to the whole thing uninterrupted.


title: A bizarre recording but not without merits

text: Yes, it's in 4 channel and mixed as such - but it's not quite the original recordings. It's like a weird re-interpretation with over-produced musicality. When I heard the first song, I didn't even think it was John Denver till I went online to find out that he re-recorded a lot of this - I don't really fully get it - but that said - sunshine on my shoulders sounds amazing and if you are a fan, or a completist -it's a pristine recording of a peculiar project using most of his well known songs - with an aboslutely useless sax thrown in for no reason but to annoy.


title: MY FAVORITE CD OF ALL TIME

text: I love rock, pop, folk, country, classical, jazz, opera, and other music genres.  I have listened to thousands of albums/records/CDs in my life time.  This is my favorite of all time.  And my favorite recorded song of all time is this gem: "Marinarello" by Gambardella.


title: My favorite Josh Rouse offering

text: This album is hard to describe. It has a mix of new and classic sounds, with some strings and Rouse's vibraphone. Clearly this is a more ambitious album than your average pop star wannabe would produce. It makes me feel like I am transported to a different place mentally. Even the classic Cotton Eyed Joe has a new twist that presents the song in a new way. Definitely a classic that I enjoy more over time with repeated listening.


title: Five Stars

text: I received it with no issues.


title: good egg fillers

text: These were good for a last minute Easter egg hunt at home.  They all pretty much fit inside a regular sized egg except for a couple of the larger toys so we just threw it on the grass for the kids to grab.  I would buy this again for next year's hunt.


title: Great Seller

text: I love the way this album was packaged. It was secure and just the right size.  I also appreciate the extras included for the San Pedro community. The box was covered with postal stamps. The album was just as described and I couldn't be happier.


title: BEST Album for Getting Into Meditative State

text: This is my "zone" meditation music. I hear the first few notes and I'm able to clear my mind and get right into a deep meditative state. For folks who don't need guided meditation, but benefit from musical aids, I highly recommend this album.


title: Awesome

text: Exactly what I was looking for. It arrived promptly, exactly as pictured/described. Great seller.


title: LOVE BTC!

text: Really blessed my soul! LOVE BTC!!!


title: Geat

text: I heard some cuts from this at a party and fell in love with it.  It is well worth the money.


title: So happy to find the CD at

text: I still have the 33 1/3 albums from years ago.  So happy to find the CD at Amazon


title: BEAUTIFUL VOICE, SUNG WITH A GREAT DEAL OF PASSION ...

text: HARD CORE FAN.......BEAUTIFUL VOICE, SUNG WITH A GREAT DEAL OF PASSION AND SENTIMENT  (FLAMENCO)


title: Great Quality and Value

text: SO HAPPY I was able to locate this set -


title: Five Stars

text: kids love it


title: Five Stars

text: Bought this CD for my hubby and he loves it very much.


title: Paul McCartney - Kisses on the Bottom

text: This has got to be one of Paul McCartney's best attempt in his older years to harness the older folks and the younger folks who think they know music!  Diana Krall's band and her piano accompaniments are superb and really add to the songs.  You couldn't ask for better back up for Paul...  His voice is great and he sings them like he feels them in his soul.  Thank you, Paul, love you! By the way I come from a line of McCartney's!


title: Very little harp, frustrating to listen to. BIG disappointment.

text: I bought this CD in an effort to reduce my son's stress when doing schoolwork/homework. I was very happy to have found a cd that was *supposedly* relaxing with lovely harp music. What I got was a basic classical/easy listening cd. In one song I wasn't even able to hear harp music. The first song on the cd has a rather obnoxious beat to accompany it. If you've ever enjoyed listening to true harp music, and know the calming and soothing effect it has on nerves, this cd will be a huge disappointment. I can only assume that the other reviewers who listed 5 stars are not used to good quality harp music.


title: Good Music

text: I love the oldies and listening to good music from the 80s. I'm glad that I found this CD.


title: Wonderful

text: It is wonderful, all my favorites when I was young


title: Good

text: Great price just as described


title: Great music

text: I like his music.  It is so relaxing.


title: Exactly as described: perfect!

text: I got bambam’s photo book, 2 Yugeom photo cards, a Mark photo card, and a group post card. Lots of photo cards in this one which I love! <3


title: Peter&the Wolf CD

text: I remember the 33 1/3 record I had as a child&this recording didnt come close to that quality....sorry


title: Next Stop, Bakersville!!

text: I have had this CD in my blues library for close to 15 years. I used to love to go see Little Bill in local concert venues in the Seattle area. My favorites on the album have always been "Hard Times" and "Back Door Blues". I wish you could hear samples. This is in no way over-produced: just Bill on bass; Mark Riley on acoustic blues guitar and mandolin; and Tom Morgan on drums - a great presence of the musicians draws you into the session like a private concert.


title: Perfect Condition For A Perfect Song!

text: Got my fave song on this CD single. The "used" condition was a "like new" condition! Just the case was worn. SATISFIED👍


title: Daughtry cd

text: Excellent product and service


title: Not boring!!!

text: So many easy listening, Zen music things get boring, but this keeps it interesting with different instruments and different moods.  I feel like all the moods are interpretations of nature. The most intense parts remind me of the crackling intensity of a coming storm.  The quiet parts feel like sitting in a forest, listening to water or watching a sunset.  So beautiful, I can listen again and again.


title: Five Stars

text: great cd


title: Great value for the money!

text: Purchased for my wife.  She loves it.


title: Amazing Talent

text: Jim McDonough is an amazingly gifted musician.  His music is so easy to listen to...this is a great CD


title: Brazilian Dreams

text: I actually picked this CD up to play as I drift off to sleep but it was a little to much "jazz" for that.  I've had the cassett version for years and thought it was one that I had played alot but I should have tried playing it again before I purchaed it.  It's okay.  Just not what I was looking to use it for. Arrived as listed and shipping was timely.  Okay purchase.


title: Great group of oldies

text: I have quite a few Time/Life cds and albums and have never been disappointed. My kind of music. I bought this one used. It came as advertised in very good condition. The disc looked brand new. Case in good condition. Came very quickly. Impressed with cd, impressed with the service. Would buy from this seller again.


title: It's good, but.....

text: I wouldn't pay almost 20 smackers for it--that's too much of a rip-off since so many tracks are missing (hell, my favorite short on the movie was "Beyond," the rest are just ok.  Where's the "Beyond" music, hmmm??  Fortunately, unlike many on here who are ticked off about not getting "Masters of the Universe" from the short "A Kid's Story," I already owned the Juno Reactor Shango CD before I came to own the animatrix album, so I don't feel violated by record labels or whatever ;) WARNING: Don't read the next sentence if you bought this CD for almost 20 buckaroos from any major CD retailer/electronics store b/c it will make you very angry.... I actually found this CD as part of a combo pack with the DVD movie at a Dollar General store, mwhahahahaha!! and it was brand new, mawhahahahahaha!!!  And I only paid $6 for both the DVD and the CD mwahahahahahahah, I'm queen of the world!!!! sorry, i'm just feeling rather money-savvy right now.


title: So many nuances you can listen again and again

text: I bought one and put it in the car. Then I needed a second for the truck. But then I didn't have one in the house so I ordered a third. Yes, its that good. But after the price of roughly $12 for the first one jumped to $23 and $60 for subsequent CDs I checked Ebay and got them for $8.95 and $5.60. So, before you buy this wonderful music check around for a more reasonable price.


title: Great cd

text: Love Ronnie Dunn


title: No other chemicals for me!!

text: I have used Pristine products going on my 4th year!!  Never cloudy water!  Never any algae!  Just test and add every two weeks!  Boom!  Beautiful water!!  Even on spring opening- crystal clear water!!  Yea, a bit expensive but you get what you pay for!!!!  I will keep using it as long as I have a pool!! Also, this supplier is great!  Fast and efficient deliver and well packaged!  A+++.

title: Let down

text: A bit disappointing, but perhaps I'm just partial to hearing Michael sing.


title: the song Wore Out

text: enjoyed the cd


title: cd not my favorite

text: I like Sinatra. I have about 6 Sinatra cd's love them all.  This one not so much, I could live without his adlib on this one.


title: good music

text: "Older" is my favorite GM cd.  It has a smooth, jazzy sound most are slow tunes. " Fast love" and "Star People"  have a faster beat. I like the whole cd.


title: good music

text: I'm glad I listen to the man who suggested "The Final" on the review.  The cd is excellent all the music is good.  Dance to this and you will drop some pounds.  When Wham was out in the eighties, I didn't know them, 30 years later I'm on board.


title: acceptable

text: I like the cd, especially disk one, music for the heart. I'm just discovering George Michael's talented voice. I was familiar with Careless Whispers, Just One More Try and the duet with Aretha. I like them all and they are on this cd. I like "Kissing A Fool", that's my new favorite. It has a soft mellow jazz like sound. My only complaint is with the Post Office. When I opened it, the case was cracked.


title: Great music

text: To find Crow again warms the cockles of my heart. Lost this album eons ago. Although its not as good as reading the back of the album cover, a cd of their music is the next best thing!


title: Who is this guy?

text: I am buying this CD and am giving a 5-star review based on the Sun Studio Sessions show presented by PBS which I am watching right now.  This group is very soulful, blusey and authentic!  No lip synching here!  Chad Elliott is very talented and a great singer.  I especially (am assuming this CD has the same songs as presented on the show) enjoyed the Songs "Ponchartrain" and "Paris".  Highly recommended just based on this 30 minute show.


title: ... original vinyl LP version of Songs of Praise in excellent condition. I have listed it under Audio CD ...

text: I have the original vinyl LP version of Songs of Praise in excellent condition. I have listed it under Audio CD because there is no listing otherwise for it. My public name is Tenno. Please contact me if you are interested in this copy.


title: Mostly good

text: Pretty solid offering by Fourplay. One cut with needless and annoying caterwauling vocals spoils it enough to detract one star.


title: Poor quality

text: Not the best CD I ever had the sound is a little off!!


title: BEAUTIFULL MUSIC

text: Beautiful music by a very talented artist.


title: Great harmony

text: This music brings the presence of the Lord into your home.


title: Wonderful music.

text: I really like half of it. The other half is just ok. Loved his Christmas album, but this one is not as good.


title: Dolly at Her Best With Christmas Somgs

text: Dolly delivers Christmas songs, the way they were meant to be sung. Here country western take on classics is done so very well. Additionally, the true meaning of the season is not lost.


title: wow!

text: Saw Keady jump in and sing at a memorial event for a beloved cardiologist that had died suddenly.  It appeared to be a jam session of his co-workers type party at the Little Fox Theater to raise money for ….I forget but something near and dear to the heart of this cardiologist.  I was invited by a friend but I didn't actually know anyone there.  Then this woman started singing and blew the roof off the place.  So here I am reviewing her excellent CD.  Bravo, Keady!


title: Disapointing

text: The earlier ones were better. This is not particularly original or interesting.  Madonna imitations. Some electronic stuff done better by newer artists. Slick dance music but nothing out of the ordinary.


title: An excellent compilation of the best Greek songs ever.

text: This is such a great CD, by far THE BEST among many other similar CDs with songs from Greek actors and actresses, from the 1920's, to the 70's.<br />This was the golden era of Greek Cinema, at times where ethics, true emotion, and dedication to the true art, were the key values of the Greek society.


title: Beautiful cd

text: I really like this cd. Michelle Tumes is such a fantastic singer. She has an angelic voice.


title: Celebrate the Gift CD

text: I really enjoyed listening to this cd by Twila Paris. I listened to it all through the holiday season. I bought one for my daughter too. Thank you


title: Five Stars

title: Soothing

text: This is the perfect CD to listen to when you want to relax and unfold. It features a mixture of soothing blues music and nature sounds - a veritable nature concert!

title: Monty Byrom

text: A must for that collector out there.


title: Fogerty live in Chicago!!! Wrong item! Wrong price!!!!!

text: Would of like to listen to this hard to get cd! But I recieved DVD ! Never heard cd! Had to ship back wrong order! Wasn't happy!!!!!


title: Wow!

text: If you are into Joni Mitchell or the harmony of Simon and Garfunkel, give this a play...you'll love it. I wish she toured the U.S., but seems to stay home in Australia. The videos on-line are a wow.


title: Excellent fast delivery, and I couldn't be happier.

text: Great!! I ordered it and it arrived from the "across the pond" in a time faster than expected!


title: Five stars because a few songs are staggering

text: I don't love every piece on this album, but that's not the point.  The pieces I DO love -- in particular, Cosas Que Pasan, Dulces Suenos, and Mar Antiguo -- are amazing, captivatingly emotional and beautifully played.  They are worth the price all by themselves.  Please note that the 'Mar Antiguo' on this version is live, and very nice too, but not quite with the same rhythmic perfection of the version on the album Astonomia Razonable.

title: Not many charted singles ~ but still a great C.D.

text:
Over-all this compilation of country music is a good listen.
For those looking for a hits collection ~
this C.D. doesn't contain as many charted songs as it should for 30 tracks.

Noticeably missing is Van Dyke's first hit "The Auctioneer"
His next 5 releases are here & 3 B-sides ~
and that's all that's included of Van Dyke's 19 charted U.S. singles.
What's here is:
1. 'Walk on by' b/w 'My world is caving in' ~ 1961
2. 'If a woman answers (hang up the phone) b/w 'A broken promise' ~ 1962
3. 'Black cloud' ~ 1962
4. 'Happy to be unhappy' b/w 'Now I lay me down' ~ 1964
5. 'Night people' ~1964

These 30 tracks are good old fashioned country music ~~ and,
only 4 of the missing charted singles made the top 40.
I would think if you enjoyed the sound of Leroy Van Dyke
that you'd enjoy this collection, even though many of these songs aren't listed as charted.

I always loved the song "Walk on by" and apparently, so have many others.
It was not only the top hit for the year of 1961, but also holds the #7 spot of all time #one hits.

I was a freshman at the time, and HAD TO HAVE that 45 record !
I grew fawned of the flip side of 'Walk on by' and have looked for it for years.
That song is the reason I bought this C.D, this is the only place I've found 'My world is caving in' on C.D.

Produced by The Bear Family, these AAD recordings have excellent sound.
Included is a excellent 36 page booklet of liner notes and photo's.

If you're a Brenda Lee fan - you'll enjoy these excerpts from one of her shows, recorded approx 1990.
Excellent group of tracks that Miss. Lee frequently preformed in concert.

title: Too many rivers' ~ 1965

text:
EXCELLENT album featuring four single releases 'Too many rivers' ~ 'Truly, truly, true' ~ 'Think' & 'No one'.
I've always thought of this album as similar to Brenda's exceptional album 'Bye, bye blues'

Here's more of that earthy bluesy sound that Brenda's is so well known for
in ~ 'Call me irresponsible' ~ 'Who can I turn to' ~ 'Whispering' ~ 'Stormy weather' ~ 'Unforgettable'.

Side one
1. It's not unusual
2. Call me irresponsible
3. Too many rivers
4. Who can I turn to
5. Whispering
6. Stormy weather

Side two
1. Hello Dolly
2. Unforgettable
3. Everybody loves somebody
4. No one
5. Truer that true
6. Think

Really a great album!

title: 'Alone With You' ~ Hard to find ~ Not on any collection's I've found so far.

text:
'Alone with you' exceptional emotional ballad, written by Jackie DeShannon
and one of Brenda Lee's best.
Musically, it's somewhat similar to 'All alone am I'.

The b/side, 'My Dreams' is uptempo and could have easily been an a/side and hit.
Both sides are very good!

'Alone With You' barely broke into the top pop 50 in 1964,
but lots of great music went unnoticed in the mist of the British invasion.

I've looked extensively for this song on any CD, or Amazon & itunes download,
haven't found it yet, except on a 45rpm.


title: First 37 hits and all of only 11 b/sides.

text:
The set includes Connie's USA & UK Singles 1955-1962 and her first single of 1963.
All 37 hits and all of only 11 b/sides are here.
Totaling 85 tracks = over 3 1/2 hrs.

Connie Francis exceptional talent is captured here in this great collection of her hits.

title: Complete, 115 song track list = Bill Haley & His Comets ~ Seven Albums ~ Plus Singles ~ 1956-1961.

text:
First like to mention Amazon's listing of 61 tracks stops with the 3rd song,
'Mack the knife' on disc three, as of Feb 24, 2015. The set contains 115 tracks.

This set starts in 1956, which is after Haley and the Comets already had 9 songs chart.
However, the two iconic classics of those, 'Shake Rattle And Roll' (their 1954 debut single)
and 'Rock Around The Clock' 1955, are included here on disc three.

The set then goes on to include all the rest of Haley's 27 "charted" singles to 1960,
with the exception of 'Week End' their 25th charted song in 1958, as The Kingsmen.
Plus six UN-charted singles from 1961.
Haley's only other chart success was when the TV show 'Happy Days' used 'Rock around the clock'
for their theme song. It was re-released, and a top forty hit in 1974.

Haley's early background was in western music. Starting in 1948 when he formed the band,
the 'Four aces of western swing'. The next year, another country band, 'The Saddleman'.
He recorded on various labels before becoming 'Bill Haley and the Comets'.
Haley & Comets also recorded as 'The Kingsmen" in 1958.

So here are 19 of Haley's 27 charted songs, and 7 b/sides and are so noted.

title: Sam Cooke ~ 8 Classic Albums ~ 98 Tracks

text:
Five stars for the music ~ 3 for quality.

These early albums start with Cookes debut charted single/#1 hit "You send me" in 1957 and stop in 1960.
The singles not included in the albums along the way are also included, to his 17th and last song of 1960.
Plus 4 b/sides (Which are so noted)

Cooke had an additional 9 songs chart to the end of 1962. (The time period these sets often cover)
And 17 more singles to 1966, total 43.
So if you like his music as much as I do, you may want a hits collection if you don't already have one.

Missing from 1961 & 62 >>>  'That's it, I quit, I'm movin' on' - 'Cupid' - 'Twistin' the night away'
'Bring it on home to me' - 'Having a party' -' Nothing can change this love', among others.

Sound issues ~ I purchased my copy from ebay a couple years ago, and it has some sound issues.
But, I'm still glad to have it, because there's some great tracks here,
including many songs I've never found on Cookes hit compilations.

I have no idea if Real Gone ever catches and/or corrects defects on their sets.

title: ALL Connie's hits! ~ SUPERB Compilation!

text:
A timeless voice of sultry quality, mixed with tenderness ~
and a crying aspect that is naturally dramatic.
Connie Francis signature voice, combined with excellent material has placed her
in music history as one of the greatest solo vocalist.

Her signature voice is at its best here in this extensive amassing by Polydor Records.
Compiled to celebrate her fortieth anniversary
of her first recording contract with the M-G-M label.
This nostalgic 1996 collection of "Souvenirs" is 5 hours and 5 minutes in length
and includes all 56 of her single releases of her entire career ~ 1957 to 1969.

Francis was well known for having two sided hits,

It is well known, the British invasion totally clutched the music industry.
Even though Connie was still producing stellar recordings,
her chart numbers weren't very high from 1965 on, and her last song to chart was 1969.

This set also includes some classics's that Connie has breath new life into.
This list is some of that remarkable, and beautiful music.

Some of the colored photos here are outstanding.
There is 12 pages displaying a variety of Connie's L.P.'s,
and the track listing gives added information about the song ~
plus year & chart number for each.

This 4 disc box set contains 118 tracks, of original recordings.
The sound is excellent.

This set is for all who thoroughly enjoy quality music.
Some of the songs here are so melodious, you can't resist hearing them again and again.

There's a LOT here to like. Rock N Roll ~ Country ~ Beautiful Classic Ballads ~ Spanish ~ Italian ~ Christmas.
This collection covers various genres of Connie's career, which displays some of her versatility.
Only four of her hits are here, "Who's sorry now" ~ "Lipstick on your collar" ~ "Mama" ~ "Malaguena".

Nice way purchase Connie's 1959 "Christmas In My Heart" album ~ 1959 "Rock N Roll Million Sellers" album
or her 1959 "Country & Western Golden Hits" album~ etc.
Here are 8 of Connie's first 11 albums from 1958 - 1960. (I've mentioned the 3 skipped for purpose of placement)
Here's 99 tracks ~ totaling 4 hours 45 min.

Disc One ~
1. "Who's Sorry Now" ~ 1958. Connie's debut album, Tracks 1 -12, R&R flair on standards, & some ballads.
2. "The Exciting Connie Francis" ~ 1958. Second album release. Tracks 13 -24, Some excellent up-tempo songs & ballads.
(3 tracks are a "big Band" sound, not really my taste)
3. "My Thanks To You" ~ 1959. Third album release. Tracks #25 - 26, two ballads.
Total ~ 26 tracks - 1 hour 13 min.

Disc Two ~
3. "My Thanks To You" ~ (conclusion) ~ Tracks 1 - 10. Includes 3 pop classics, all are gentle ballads.
4. "Connie Francis Sings Italian Favorites" ~ 1959. Forth album release. Tracks 11 - 24.
This album was recorded during a live sessions at EMI's famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
Remained on the albums chart for 81 weeks and peaked at No. 4, and it remains to this day Francis' most successful album release
Most of the songs are bilingual in either Italian/English or Neapolitan/English. (Neapolitan = the language of southern continental Italy,
including the city of Naples. It is named not after the city, but after the Kingdom of Naples)
Total ~ 24 tracks ~ 1 hour 15 min.

Disc Three ~
5. "Christmas In My Heart" ~ 1959. Fifth album release. Tracks 1 - 12, Beautiful ~ Classic ~ Christmas. A mix of secular & religious.

8. "Connie Francis Sings Spanish And Latin American Favorites" ~ 1960. Eleventh album release. Tracks 13 - 24
Perform either entirely in Spanish or bilingual with a few lines sung in English.
This is beautifully passionate music, with Spanish guitars and romantic melodies.
Total ~ 25 tracks - 1 hour 7 min.

While establishing a base for a successful long-term career in music, Francis recorded an array of music, not only Rock N Roll
but also many albums which appealed to immigrants in the United States.
Including Spanish, Latin, Jewish, German and Irish Favorites, among others.

This album is a broad range, and even though I've loved Connie Francis music since I was teenager,
still, there are songs here I wouldn't often listen to.
But ~ Oh ~ the ones I like make this a keeper!

This collection is digitally remastered & enhanced, and has excellent sound.
These recordings are crystal clear, and more vibrant sounding then the "Souvenir" album on Polygram Records Inc.
Don't get me wrong, that album sounds excellent, but this remastering sounds even better.

There's no liner notes, only the track listing on the back with the date of the album.

This label has two volumes of Connie Francis.
"Connie Francis - 8 Classic Albums" - 4 C.D. (this one)
"Connie Francis - 8 Classic Albums" Vol 2 - 4 C.D.

Footnote: If one is looking for Connie's hits, you can get them ALL in the 4 disc. ~ 118 track box set.
All 58 pop charted singles & 13 B-sides are includes in "Connie Francis ~ Souvenirs" --- ASIN: B000002GEF.
Here on Amazon, currently, used starts at $38.00.
I can testify to that being some of the best music I own, and that's saying a lot.

title: From 1962 ~ a great song ~ a favorite

text:
Five stars for 'Life's too short' ~ I'm not familiar with the group The Impacts
REPRINT by Collectables Label of the original "Life's too short' 45 recording. But they've replaced
the original b/s with an uncharted version of Canadian sunset, by an unknown group, The Impacts.

About the original 45
Like to never found this great song to download, 'Life's too short" by the Lafayettes in 1962.
This pop-rock group had only this one single to chart, RCA Victor #8044 (b/s 'Nobody but you' ~ R&B flavor).
It's chart # (87) doesn't reflect the songs energy and spirit. Loved it the first time I heard it.
In high-school at the time, ran right out an bought the 45 record. Looked for it a long time to download.
Couple years ago happened to find/buy the original recording on itunes. Sadly, now it's gone from there also.
Both can be found on YouTube

Only way I know to relate it's energy is to say, it's sorta similar ~

title: Vol One ~ Track Listing ~ 8 original Albums ~ 1956 to 1958.,

text:
Pat Boone was quite a prolific and versatile singer.
From his first song to chart in 1955 to 1969 Boone landed 60 songs on the pop chart,
his 61st and last song to chart was in 2002.

Pat Boone had really made hay while the sun shined, having 30 albums between 1956 and 1962.
Including regular albums, soundtracks ~ Christmas ~ Gospel ~ and greatest hits.
The set covers eight of Boone's original early albums between 1956 and 1958.
Here's some old fashioned R&R, but most tracks are easy listening ballads.

The Albums Here Are ~
1. Pat Boone ~ 1956
2. Howdy ~ 1956
3. Pat ~ 1957
4. Hymns We Love ~ 1957
5. Pats Great Hits ~ 1957
6. Pat Sings Irving Berlin ~ 1958
7. April Love ~ with Shirley Jones ~ 1957
8. Star Dust ~ 1958.

(There's also available ~ 'Pat Boone Vol 2, Seven Classic Albums')

1. Vol One gathers all first 22 charted singles & the 3 (of only 3) B-sides.
From Boone's debut single in 1955 to Oct of 1957.
2. Then ~ Vol Two starts in May of 1960 and gathers all the charted songs to the end of 1962
and 2 B-sides, but skipping 5 B-sides.
3. That leaves a gap bewteen Vol 1 and Vol 2, from Nov 1957 to March of 1960
which includes 19 charted songs & 4 B-sides.
I suspect there'll be at least a Vol 3 still to come, if not more.

title: Track Listing ~ Of ~ 107 Tracks,

text:
Known as "Rock n' Roll's all time #1 Instrumentalist" Duane Eddy originated the "tangy guitar sound".
Starting with Eddy's debut album this set contains Eddy's first six albums, 1958 to 61.
During that time he had 20 songs on the pop chart, all of those are here and the 16 B-sides.
(16 because 2 singles were 2 sided hits)

The Albums here are ~
1. Have 'Twangy' Guitar Will Travel - 1958
2. Especially For You - 1959
3. The "Twangs" The "Thang" - 1959
4. Duane Eddy Plays Songs Of Our Heritage - 1960
5. $1,000,000 Worth Of Twang - 1960
6. Girls! Girls! Girls! - 1961

The 4th disc includes 14 vocals, said to be 'session' tracks,
that include Eddy with various band members and/or producer Lee Hazlewood.
And repeats seven songs in alternate versions. I'm personally not much interested in those tracks.
Still I found 65 songs here (2 hr. 35 min) that are the sound of Eddy's music I like, the mainstream tunes.
Sooo ~ I've said it before and I'll say it again ~ Even if one doesn't care for all that's on these sets,
you're still likely to get your money's worth.

(Public Domain) and this is only the first six of em')


title: Typical ~ Four Lads (quartet) music.

text:
This original 1958 album of the Four Lads ~ "Breezin' Along" is typical of the music they were known for.
Although the Lads charted three songs in 1958 & three more in 1959 ~ none were from this particular album.

The Four Lads are well remembered for some of their earlier releases ~ which are now considered classics.
"Moments to remember" ~ "No not much" ~ Standing on the corner" and "Who needs you"
are a few of the iconic songs their remembered for.

From their debut charted single in 1955 ~ "Moments to remember" to their last charted song "Happy anniversary" in 1959
the Four Lads scored 18 charted songs.

Side one is a bit more up-tempo and breezy while side two is smoother and more romantic.

Track listing
~~~ Side one ~~~
1. Breezin' along
2. That old feeling
3. Swingin' down the lane
4. Someone like you
5. You were meant for me
6. Hit the road to dreamland

~~~ Side two ~~~
1. Long ago (and far away)
2. That's me desire
3. Someone to watch over me
4. You may not be an angel
5. Come to me
6. A lovely way to spend an evening

This album was available in both monaural and stereo (stereo - CS 8035) and says "Stereo <==> Fidelity"
at the top of the album cover as is shown in the current above Amazon picture of album.

The four vinyl albums here are ~
(I won't list the tracks as they are available in the product description)

1. Dear heart - 1965 - Jones 13 th album
2. In Hollywood - 1968 - Jones 23 rd album
3. I've got a lot of living to do - 1961 - Jones 4 th album
4. For the in crowd - 1966 - Jones 16 th album.

I still have 'Dear Heart' album from high school and have enjoyed it for many years.
All these album are typical Jack Jones easy listening music.

How-ever - it doesn't appear that all sellers are including all four albums.
Some seems to be only offering "Dear Heart".


title: Great Easy Listening Music ~ mono version

text:
An over-all great album done in the classic treatment of Nancy Wilson
For my taste, all tracks here are well done, soothing easy listening, and enjoyable.

This original album from 1966 features many songs of the mid 1960's.
The album here that's pictured is mono. This 12 track album was available stereo.
The stereo version says in the top center of the cover "New improved Full Dimensional Stereo"
At the top of Wilsons hair.

title: Little Richard ~ First Five Albums ~ 1957 - 1960

text:
Here's little Richard's first five consecutive albums. Starting with his 1957 debut to 1960.
Richard only had one more album prior 1962 (public domain) so it's interesting that
"The King Of Gospel Singers" which includes 12 more gospel songs, wasn't included here.

Richard's first charted R&B single was in 1955 and he continued with a total of 18 R&B & 16 pop through 1958.
All are here plus 3 of the only 4 B-sides of R&B during that time.
He had a 6 year hiatus from the chart and returned in 1964, to have 5 more songs chart through 1973,
with modest chart success, but nothing to compare with his mid to late 1950's hey-day.

This set captures the essence of Little Richard.
