title: 1965-1967 A's & B's + two exclusive vault tracks

text: All of The Byrds 1965 to 1967 Columbia Records A & B sides are here, plus some proposed(but not released) singles. But, if you are a Byrds completist, you'll have to own this. At a point when it seemed that The Byrds' vaults had been totally emptied, Sundazed's Bob Irwin has dug up two gems; versions of "She Don't Care About Time" & "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" that are significantly different to any versions heard before. They are exclusive to this 2-L.P. set / Too bad that Sony won't let Sundazed release this on CD. However, if you look online at unofficial download sites, uploaders offer a fully de-clicked version of this collection. And, generally, the sources used in this collection are much better than those heard on the Japanese Sony 2-CD "Original Singles A's & B's 1965-1971"


title: 2014 Japan SHM-CD reissue

text:
This is a 2014 Japanese reissue of the Uk version of Manfred Mann's EMI/HMV debut album, presented in its mono mix(the mix that Mann prefers; the stereo mixes of the recordings were to be spread across two U.S.A. albums, "The Manfred Mann Album" & the U.S.A. version of "The Five Faces of Manfred Mann", which was largely a collection of singles, E.P. tracks & leftover tracks from the UK "Five Faces" album).

The Japanese reissue is an SHM-CD audiophile release, but audiophiles won't be pleased by the very loud, saturated mastering. The bonus tracks include the group's first two EMI/HMV singles A's & B's, plus "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", the instrumental "Chattering"
and selections from the group's 1963 EMI "Commercial Test"(I.E. the group's audition tape). Unfortunately, at this point, Warner Music(the new owner of most EMI/UK recordings) only has access to digital files supplied by the previous owner of the recordings. It would appear that they don't yet have access to or possession of any of the master tapes, therefore most recordings in Warner Japan's late 2013/early 2014 SHM-CD reissues of albums by early "British Invasion" artists are(with the exception of those bonus tracks that are new to the CD format) simply clones of 1998 to 2011 masterings by Peter Mew; masterings which were widely criticized; sometimes with the Japanese adding more E.Q. and processing that worsens them. And any glitches or errors present in Mr.Mew's masterings are repeated, uncorrected in the Japanese CD's.

Case in point: when Manfred Mann's 1963 EMI "Commercial Test" recordings were released for the first time(in a UK EMI 4-CD set "Manfred Mann-Down The Road Apiece") there was either an equipment malfunction during mastering or a human error by Mr.Mew, which causes a abrupt skip at 0:24 in the song "Let's Go". The remainder of the first verse, and most of the second verse are missing.15 seconds of the song is omitted. This glitch appears uncorrected in the new Japanese CD. I had access to a tape of the 1963 EMI commercial test a decade before EMI released it, and when it became apparent that EMI would never correct the "Down The Road Apiece" 4-CD set, I permitted my tape of the audition to circulate on the internet, so fans could have the song without the skip.

For Warner Music of Japan to give consumers anything less than a fresh remastering from the original master tapes is appalling. This is not just one album, but rather an entire series of more than 50 formerly EMI albums. The glitch that I refer to is not the only one(from old EMI/UK masterings) that finds its way into the new Japanese CD's. It is merely the nastiest and most obvious one.


title: Available.....in South Korea

text:
Sony Music HAS released the 2-CD set "Billy Joel-Piano Man(Legacy Edition), back in 2010 in South Korea, though for whatever reasons(legal reasons?) planned releases in Japan & The U.S.A. have never (to this day) happened.

  Disc One has the original "Piano Man" album. This was Billy's first major label album(but second album overall). The remastering sounds fine. Standout tracks include "The Ballad of Billy The Kid", "Captain Jack" & "Piano Man", though the banjo-fueled arrangement of the album's opening song "Travellin' Prayer" was likely the idea of an L.A.- based country-rock record producer. On his first two Columbia albums, record producers didn't want to use Billy's stage band, and so Billy was backed by studio musicians.

  Disc Two is a new remix(from the original 16-track tapes) of a radio concert that Billy played 19 months before Columbia Records signed him. The show was performed live(with a small invited audience) at Sigma Studios in Philadelphia, and broadcast live by radio station WMMS. The show features songs from Billy's independant label debut album "Cold Spring Harbor", previews a few songs("Travellin' Prayer", "The Ballad of Billy The Kid" & "Captain Jack") that would later be recorded for the "Piano Man" album, and also includes several songs that would never be recorded for any Columbia album ("Josephine", "Long Long Time" and "Rosalinda" .Note: the song is entirely unrelated to his later song "Rosalinda's Eyes")

  The new remix of the radio concert is a drastic improvement over what has been heard on unofficial CD's(which were inevitably taken from cassette recordings made from the radio). Modern technology has enabled the remix engineer to repair a bad drumming mistake at the start of the first chorus of "Captain Jack", and to correct the pitch of an out of tune dobro on the song "Turn Around".

  If you are not familiar with Billy's earlier recordings, be prepared for the fact that his voice was thinner, higher-pitched and very McCartney-ish, with none of the rock n'roll growl that he would later develop. and even if you are familiar with the "Piano Man" album, you will find his voice to be even more high-pitched in the 1972 concert recording.

  Billy shows off the tremendous piano chops that he had in the early days, playing "Travellin' Prayer" & "Falling of The Rain" at ferocious tempos. Some of those songs subtelties are sacrificed, but Billy was quite young and eager to show off his chops. The backing musicians are not as good as the people that Billy would start working with on "Turnstiles", but they are adequate, and Billy's enthusiasm & superb playing/singing leaves the audience satisfied.

  Since it's unlikely that Amazon or its' marketplace sellers will ever offer this South Korean release, I think it will do no harm to say that it can be obtained on ebay. If you are a Billy Joel fan, you won't want your collection to be without this set. Highly recommended.


title: Official Russian 2-CD set

text: While this excellent 43 track,2-CD collection of Sting B-sides, film soundtrack songs & CD single tracks originates from Russia, it is a legitimate product from the Russian affiliate of "A&M Records". If you are a fan of Sting, this collection is a must have. The collection covers the 1997-2008 period, and there's only a 5 or 6 song overlap with the Japanese "Sting-At The Movies" collection. Too bad that this couldn't have been a 3-CD set, because the 1985-1996 rarities should be collected together too.<br />  Some sort of anti-copy process(aimed at PC owners) has been used, but I can confirm that  non-computer pro audio CD-R recorders(machines that can record on data CD-R blanks) and MAC computers(using iTunes as their CD burning program) can ignore it, and that the resulting copy strips away the anti-copy process.


title: Sony's disc damaging package:Kind of Sad

text:
Yes, "Kind of Blue" is a Jazz(and music) classic, and musically speaking, this is a definitive edition. The main album sounds fine(to me, that is, because I've only owned one of the many previous CD editions). There's little material that can be added:one alternate take, plus numerous bits of session talk & false starts. The second CD adds other selections by the same line-up(Davis, Adderly,Coltrane,Cobbs,Evans) and a live version of "So What". The DVD features the excellent "The Sound of Miles Davis" T.V. broadcast from 1959, which you'll want to watch again and again, and a documentary about the making of "A Kind of Blue", which is interesting, but it's something you'll want to watch only once. The box also features a blue vinyl L.P. pressing of the "Kind of Blue" album. I was lucky, and my copy was flat and played fine. There's an attractive hardcover book with essays and plenty of photos of Miles & his group, a black & white poster featuring 3 photos of Miles at Columbia Studios plus an envelope of memorabilia, including a reproduction of pianist Bill Evans handwritten rough draft of the album's liner notes,a reproduction of a Columbia Records promotional brochure, and six 8' x 10" photos of Miles & his musicians(one photo was missing from my set, and I got a duplicate of one of the other 5)

  The problem with this set which cause me to give it only three stars is Sony's disc-damaging packaging. The 2 CD's & The DVD fit into excessively snug pockets inside the L.P. record's gatefold sleeve. As the many(now removed) reviews established, there is no way that you'll get the 2 CD's & the DVD in anything remotely resembling decent condition, and if you put the discs back into this packaging, the marks will get worse and worse.

  If you want to own this set, make plans to send the two CD's & the DVD to a CD resurfacing/repair company. That's what I did, and now my three discs are in the perfect condition that they should have been from the outset. Needless to say, I'm storing the 3 discs in regular CD jewel boxes now.

  After Sony Music's superb effort to put things right for people who bought the 71-disc "Miles Davis-The Complete Columbia Studio Albums"box set (they provided replacement box sets for everyone who bought the first production run of the 71-disc set, after the original sets suffered from glue stains on the discs, and a torn,dented, extremely fragile outer box), I am surprised that they didn't remedy the problems with this set, because everyone got badly scratched CD's & DVD's. While Amazon themselves are no longer selling this set, Sony Music is still selling it through the official Miles Davis website.

  I'm expecting that the forthcoming "Miles Davis-Bitches Brew" CD + DVD + L.P. set will have similar problems, but I'm a Miles Davis fan, and I'll buy it. This will undoubtedly result in my having to send discs out to the CD resurfacing company. This is "Kind of Sad".

  As an update to the above, Sony may have learned their lesson:The disc pockets in the "Bitches Brew" box set were designed differently, and they don't damage the discs.


title: This disc never existed

text:
"World Kontact Day" was the title of a Klaatu DVD that was never to be, because the group members could never agree on what the contents would be. Originally, it was to be a documentary of the long-defunct group's fan convention in their native Canada, and would have included a 6-song semi-unplugged reunion performance. It was later decided that the fan convention documentary footage didn't hold up well to repeat viewings, and that the group would instead create a documentary of the group's entire career......but in the end the group ran in to licensing problems in trying to get the use of vintage T.V. performances.......so the project was abandoned. People who ordered the ill-fated DVD direct from the label("Bullseye Records") have had their money refunded.

However, the audio only from the reunion performance will be included on a forthcoming CD titled "Solology" which will be an expanded CD edition of the previously vinyl-only album "Raarities".

I paid WAY more than I should have for it, but this CD is difficult to find, and I can't really say I regret the purchase despite the price - I think it's worth it.

text: My father who has since passed away, had this album back in the late 50's and 60's.  I knew every song on this album and still do.  The album was destroyed sometime in the past 50 plus years and this album which I have just purchased was in mint condition (both the album and album cover) and the service in the process of obtaining it was truly outstanding.

Exactly what I wanted.  First  bought this CD in Hawaii from the performers. CD got damaged and very happy with replacement purchased through Amazon.


title: I'm a fanboy, so be skeptical of me.

text:
I’ve been a fan of Chris Carter's works for decades.  I've also been a fan of Mark Snow's work for just as long if not longer.  For me, each track is a memory, taking me back to the first time I saw an episode.  I remember how my life was so radically different in the 1990s, how my own writing lacked substance and my own music lacked depth.  Since then I believe I've grown and it is thanks in part to Chris Carter's vision and Mark's Snow's inspiration.
Oh yeah, product review.  These items were shipped fast and sold at a reasonable price, which are two important considerations when buying online.  Packaging however ... let's just say that the item could have been dropped from a five story building and survived intact.  The packaging was way more than adequate.  Five stars for this alone.
I've seen other reviewers conflicted on the tracks chosen for this CD set questioning why some are added while still others are absent.  Those opinions are valid for more reasons than simply; everyone is entitled to their opinion.  A few epic pieces are missing, but I'd rather focus on what was included.  For me, this music is a time machine.  It reminds me of the adventure and the drama and the perspectives of a strong influence in my life.
I watched an episode in an airport when the weather was so bad my flight was delayed.  Almost thirty people gathered around a TV that couldn’t have been more then fifteen inches.  Not every passenger was a fan, and not every passenger joined us, but the ones who complained that they were going to miss their favorite show were provided a TV by the airport staff and we gathered with the shortest and oldest in front and the tallest and youngest in back and were completely silent save gasps and laughs and explosive conversations during commercials.
I remember watching pivotal episodes projected onto the outside of a house, where neighbors and strangers came together to share the moment drawn and bonded by a remarkable story and a peerless soundtrack.

See?  Told you I’m a fanboy.


title: REZ Rules

text: Forget Christian rock. Resurrection Band was the first ever full on hard rock/metal bands to sing about faith in God. Too gritty and real to be courted or comfortable in the 'Christian Music Industry', they eventually created their own record label. REZ lives in the slums of downtown Chicago and every ounce of struggle and reality is poured into their 14+ albums, Colours being one of the most important and formative. Bone-crunching guitar rock with social and spiritual sensibility, in the 70's and 80's REZ ruled the hearts of people in the church who cared more about being real than being religious. Great music, great lyrics, great artwork, great people.


title: This release has received too much hype. Read before buying.

text:
I read several reviews about this release and since it was universally praised and I am such a Stevie Wonder fan, I looked and looked until I found it. Some reviewers even allege that some of the versions on this release are better than those sung by Mr. Wonder. Tall order, but I just think Stevie walks on water so I bit the bullet and all in all I am disappointed.
THE NOT SO GOOD: The disappointment comes not only from the hype but that for the most part the songs are either too loungy or, with some notable exceptions, combines it with sappy blaxploitation clichés that are stripped of Stevie's unique energy.  I am all for reinterpretation of songs and listening to new things, but this is mediocre at best. The same reviews that praised this release go on to say that one of its positive attributes is that it shows one how influential and inspirational Stevie was to so many singers around him. Duh!!! No need to spend cash on an import release to learn this. Ray Barretto butchers Stevie's "Pastime Paradise" although it has a great piano riff that won't quit. The Supreme's version of "Bead Weather" starts a little too close for comfort to an Al Green song, and then degenerates into a bad sounding young Michael Jackson. No harmonies or anything that resembles the Supremes. Cedar Walton's "Another Star" sounds like the ultimate filler. The CD ends with Ramsey Lewis' jazzy but totally flaccid take on "Spring High."
THE ALMOST GOOD: I don't want to give the impression that this collection sucks in its entirety as Jose Feliciano does a GOOD job with "Golden Lady" and Sergio Mendes and Brasil '77 bring a soft touch to "Superstition" that totally changes the song into something aurally interesting. I also liked the instrumentals on Charles Earland's "I Was Made To Love Her" but without vocals the song loses its punch. Hugo Montenegro's "You Got It Bad Girl" is yet another instrumental but has some cool production work that somehow captures Stevie's essence and almost overcomes the lack of lyrics. Carl Anderson's "Buttercup" barely overcomes its quiet storm feel with some nice vocals but it still feels phoned in.
THE GOOD/GREAT: My favorite cut on the CD is Main Ingredient's "Don't You Worry About A Thing" as it takes the song at face value and although it's not Stevie, it does sound great. Gene Harris' version of "As" is quite good and almost sounds like Stevie  (as does Norman Brown's "Too High"), but sounds a little derivative and not anywhere as good as the most recent cover by Mary J. Blige and George Michael, who really do it justice by bringing something new. First Choice's "Love Having You Around" at least brings some LIFE to the song and deserves to be congratulated for that versus others in this collection. I am a HUGE Minnie Riperton fan and I really wanted to like her take on "Stick Together," and it's actually surprisingly good as she makes it her own and she sounds so alive. The piano on this cut is awesome.
Any potential buyer should know that this package comes with two "versions" with the first cd mixing all the songs into a non-stop mix, while the second cd segregates the songs. I actually found mixed version marginally more appealing as it makes for good background music. It's very hard to give this release a rating as Stevie usually earns 5+ stars from me but this "celebration" gets a generous 2 from me.

title: So Exquisitely Beautiful

Lisa Ono has an amazing voice made for Bossa Nova and Brazilian music. It's a delight to listen to anything she sings, but this album, (in particular) is a treat. All the Antonio Carlos Jobim classics with class, grace and warmth. For me, however, I slightly surprised at the sharp staccato (in Ms. Ono's phrasing) in Brigas Nuncas Mais. It's still gorgeous though.

This is one album on constant repeat.


title: Great CD set!

text: Love, love, love Coldplay!  It has all the songs I like, plus more than I had never heard, but like.  A few I don't like, but that's normal.

text: I bought this as a birthday gift for my son.  I know he will enjoy it.


title: Excellent Quality

text: This record came in excellent condition and plays back wonderfully!


title: No Song Title Or Track Names Listed ?

text: There are no track title names of the songs that are on this album. What is that all about ? How is someone supposed to know what songs are on this album & whether they or I want to buy it if we don't know what songs are on it & how many it contains ? Whoever made this CD available to purchase sure did a lazy & reckless job of bailing out when it comes to & came to putting the content songs of this album available for all to see & know prior to purchase. Get with the program. BIG time. This person is not a very good seller if they think they or he or she can sell this item without album details that depict song names. That is a major ingredient when someone wants to know what they are getting when they order a music album. This totally blows. I was thinking of buying this album too , but I don't know what the Hell I am buying & if I like or dislike the songs on it or not .... So there you have it. Put some track title names of the songs for this album for us to see & maybe I might rate this album better. It seems like a lot of albums available for purchase on amazon.com fail to display the rightful song title track names for all to see & evaluate when deciding to purchase a CD album. I don't get it. I scroll way down to the bottom of the screen where I usually find all the song titles of albums that are available on other albums for sale , but a good majority of the albums on amazon.com do not show song titles to the albums CD track listings. Pure unadulterated laziness on the seller & or people who want to sell a CD without proper display of song listings for those CD items in question. You know who you all are. All of you amazon.com sellers are who insist upon & foolishly do not display your CD song title tracks for your items for sale. This album is a prime example of that failure to display such necessary information upon the success of a CD to be sold. Completely uncalled for & neglectful to rob us all of CD song listing info on any & or all CD's that are for sale at amazon.com that do not have the CD song product details available as provided , or lack there of , by the seller(s) of CD albums. Shame on you.


title: CD Wonderful Music..Shipping Horrible

text: The music on this CD is beautiful. I wish I could say the same about the condition I received it in. The case was crack and as I looked at the CD looking for a scratch, it looks like something was spilled on it, or that it got wet. Maybe that's how the CD is suppose to look. With all that, it still plays perfect. I would have been disappointed if this was for a gift. I just hope it keeps playing for years. I was happy to find this CD as I had lost my original CD. We played this in 1999 in my Dad's hospice room, he passed away when David Barrus was singing Softly and Tenderly. Also, at the wake the funeral director had no qualms playing this CD for us. It's a soothing CD, he has a wonderful voice.

It's in Russian.  Very restful, peaceful, excellent to help you fall asleep.

title: The Power  to  MANIFEST

text: Rhonda Byrne reads this wonderful manual of manifesting using the power of the Universe. It is the 'how to' manual companion to the "The Secret" which informs us we get what we think about most of the time. Keep your mind focused on what you want, stay positive, give and you will reap ten fold what you give away from the Universe. The Universe likes generosity, joy, creativity, and love to all humanity. The Power is granted by disciplining the stuff between your ears to think in a focused way.


title: Great insight and ideas, lacks a close

text:
Very compelling ideas and some really thought provoking science.

No methods at the end and a little too sure of the meaning for me. But, I will take much from this book.

I am left wanting something more in identifying underlying beliefs (follow your feelings at times is the best advice I have gotten for that) and how to construct better ones. BeliefWorks by Ray Dodd helped a bit with that.

text: If you want people to buy these cd's, then why can't all songs be printed to hear them?? It dosen't make sense to just show the cd case and print only a few or none of the songs.


title: Not Worth it

text: I thought by getting this CD it was going to have good Disco music, but evidently ALL but one song I never heard of. Not even as a ONE hit wonder. I took a chance buying this CD because I recgonize the name of the artists, but I know now why they never mention what songs they are. I am very disappointed because it has 2 cd's. What a waste of money. You would think because of the artists "Gloria Gaynor, Chic, Kano and Santa Esmeralda that it would have good music, but it dosen't. Look out for the CD named Night Fever, its not worth putting it in your car for the road.


title: Worth the money

text:
Listen up people!!!!!
I bought this album in the 70's when I heard this group live. I got the album right away & it's still in mint condition. My favorite song is "I can't Make it" I crank up my stereo with this song and people who never heard it, ask "Who's that????"
So if you can, buy it, you won"t be sorry. It's worth the money.


title: Not a rehash of the same old songs

text: This is a wonderful beautiful album. I've been a fan of Andrea Menard since The Velvet Devil, which is brilliant, and Simple Steps. I love the quality of Andrea's voice and her humor, and I sincerely appreciate that this "Christmas album" is not the same old holiday songs sung by a different person, regardless of how well. I'm enjoying listening to these songs, even (or especially?) in August in Tucson, Arizona. :-) These are great songs any time of the year. Another fantastic album by Andrea.

title: One of my most prized possessions.

The music that these two made defies categorization.

Is it classical? Yeah. Is it jazz? Yes.

and since the audio restoration from the 90s in this box set, it is quite frankly one of the very finest SOUNDING sets of music I've ever owned. That is extraordinary when you consider it was recorded over half a century ago.


title: Wonderful Gem: Pam's Best. Ever.

text:
I think, perhaps, you have to be older to appreciate some of the music that is being made these days by artists who are not the young 20-somethings dancing around on Youtube. Pam Mark Hall is a great example of this.

I've heard and appreciated most of her work (I was not a fan of the more "pop-is" music from her and others in the ate 70s/early 80s CCM scene, but "Never Fades Away" was pretty amazing imho). Her most recent album came a few years ago, and as much as I enjoyed it, I wasn't prepared for this one.

It's really just wonderful. Pam's voice doesn't sound like a kid's anymore, and indeed, neither do her experiences. But just like some other musicians I admire, like Bruce Cockburn (who makes a guest appearance here) who have put out their best work after the age when most musicians are just recycling old stuff as long as they can, Pam has done her best work here. Standout tracks for me include "Fall Forward" and "Joy Runs Deep" (and "Solitude" and, of course, a wonderful new re-telling of my very favorite song --by anybody-- "All the Diamonds" by the aforementioned Cockburn), but the whole album is one I'll listen to often, front to back.

Mostly folk with a little electric "attitude", filled with wonderful melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and great subtle musicianship, I suspect that if you give it a chance, Pam's album might end up on your often-played list.


title: Can't miss late 80s funk/jazz with a serious twist

text:
This is an unknown classic. Wonderful music from a terrific group of musicians, led by my favorite wacky violinist of all time. Standout tracks? Purple Haze, How The Violin Was Born, and Rules Are Made to Be Broken.

Hugh Marsh is extraordinary. Robert Palmer, who I can't stand otherwise, is terrific here.

title: Reveries from my childhood

text:
My parents recently bought a new turntable system, I bought this LP as a gift for them.
When I was 8 years old we lived in a different country for a few years, my parents had a cassette with this album and they played it very often.
As you can imagine this album takes me back to those years and when they played this LP on their new turntable, well, it had the same effect on them.

title: This is a very beautiful, relaxing CD

text:
I am not an expert on traditional Irish or other "Celtic" music. However these are familiar tunes, and played very beautifully. Some of them are actually better than simply background music and may be haunting if you are really listening, such as in a car on a dark road in the pitch black night.

However this IS very good background music--which, by the way is not always easy to find. Someone I know wanted some music as background for conversation, so I started listening to my various CD's. Without exhausting the collection, we did find one with Andres Segovia playing guitar and this one. I highly recommend this beautiful album. You can hear the tracks on YouTube.


title: Great songs

text: Beautiful voice. Great repertoire


title: Good Mawnin' Stawshine! One of her best concerts, and my favorite!

text:
Finally on cd, my favorite concert of hers. The tracklisting is incorrect in the description, the opening act is a Medley comprised of four numbers which are 'Consider Yourself/Hello, I Love You/I've Got Five Dollars/I've Got To Be Me/Consider Yourself (Reprise),' it is fantastic  and sounds like a parade when turned all the way up! There is another Live version of the Consider Yourself Medley with the exact same arrangements, but with different notes being sang here & there with more firm and/or solid approach. I'm assuming it is the 1966 recording of this concert. I personally prefer that performance over this one, its a very subtle difference, but still pretty noticeable.

 Other charms and or highlights would be the dramatic "Married/Better sit down kids" and the high energy big band style of "Everybody Loves My Baby", and I almost forgot the haunting/chilling piano-ballad "I Will Wait For You." I like both years that this song was performed, but I prefer the 1972-version, it's sang in a lower key, which gives it a more haunting effect. Both versions are amazing.

Listening to this concert is just like watching it. The music is dramatic and so is she. If you've watched it, you can see each segment in your head as it plays out. This concert also includes the French version of the song "Liza with A Z" which makes perfect sense. My least favorite part would be the long & endless dance-segment. Definitely great to play on full blast with high quality speakers, it sounds terrific! Oh, and "There is a time" is much better Live than in-studio. I think the live edits contain a certain charm that the studio versions lack. I think because the band is so amped she has to sing with more force & passion.

Also, I love the sound of her singing in a theater, there's more echo and bigger sound! The wide open space adds a punch to the brass! It's a really great element to both the music and vocals, creating a richer sound!

Just a side note: Another thing that I really enjoy about this production is that there's a Big-Band feel to the material, especially Everybody loves my baby, and Caberet. Lots of horn, cymbals, and banging drum action all at once! Love it! Which is probably why it sounds magnificent on full blast!


title: 1988 Female Rap Duo: Finesse & Synquis

text: Many people don't even know this duo existed. You had to be heavily into HipHop in that era to recall these two. By chance a few people maybe caught their music video "Soul Sisters" while shifting through channels but I doubt 98% of them even bothered to stop and view it. I was drawn to them because I was into Salt N Pepa, JJ Fad, L'trimm, Cookie Crew, Oaktown's 357 and the list goes on. Their style is quite similar to Salt N Pepa's and other female rappers from Plateu Records such as Antoinette. I think their style was a bit too close to Salt N Pepa, Too close for comfort. Salt N Pepa already were the female masters at what they were giving, So for these two to pop out of nowhere they couldn't stand a chance. I like "Fatal Beauty" & "I Can Do Better", All the other songs except, maybe, "Soul Sisters" are all unappealing in beats and rhymes. I'm not fascinated at all, However "Fatal Beauty" has a sickening bassline, but the entire sound is that of America's most wicked Female rap duo SNP. Although Salt N Pepa didn't release anything that sounds exactly like "Fatal Beauty", It still sounds too familiar. It's like having De Ja Vu. I would only reccommend to those who haven't got around to ever hearing about this duo or this album, Just to see if they had any chance of delivering to the queens. Other than that, This album is wack!

title: Masterpiece!

text: Stone cold masterpiece here from start to finish. Mind blowing material easily on par with the greatest work Jimi ever laid down. Both the vinyl and CD sound quality (yes I own both) is out of this world amazing! Mastering by Bernie Grundman and he does not disappoint. Masterpiece!


title: This is growing on me. Incredible show!

text:
While this is not quite The Song Remains The Same or How The West Was Won, it has some spectacular versions of songs and I have to recommend it for any Zeppelin freak (like me!)

EDIT: I have increased my rating  from 3 to 5 stars as I must admit this one is growing on me. Best listened to with high quality headphones on full volume. I am glad that I own it. Some songs are masterful, others not quite as good, but overall a highly recommended concert. Great purchase!!!!


title: Beautiful!

text: I bought this CD for my Mom as a surprise after finding the cassette tape. She mentioned listening to it all the time years ago and how much she missed it. When the CD arrived, it was packaged wonderfully and looked brand new! It works fine and is a beautiful album. I look forward to purchasing items from this seller in the future. :)


title: addition to the previous review

text:
I thank the previous reviewer and want to add a couple of things.
As the previous reviewer said, this CD has 31 tracks that can be used to adjust graphic EQ or to adjust speaker placement. However, the tones are sinusoidal: 20Hz sinusoidal tone, 30Hz sinusoidal tone, . . ., 20kHz sinusoidal tone.
Some other test CD's on the market has 31 tracks of narrow-bandpass-filtered pink noise, instead of sinusoidal tones.
Sinusoidal tone or bandpass-filtered pink noise ... Each has pro and cons, but in some cases, bandpass-filtered pink noise may be more convenient - if the band-pass filters were correctly engineered -.  This is because the response of a speaker may show more and more fluctuation with slower and slower sweep tone. With bandpass-filtered pinknoise, these fluctuations are averaged out.
Another thing to add: adjusting EQ so that you get ruler-flat response in 20Hz-20kHz may result in damage of your speakers.


title: Like new album

text: The album is like new.  No scratches. The packaging was VERY secure, almost too secure.  Happy with the album.


title: Delicious

text: Delicious!  Very fresh!


title: What A Sad Holiday

text: Billy?  Really?  First off, you can get this CD at a lot of CD/Music stores for around $10, so I don't know why the seller on here thinks they can get $300?  Second off, it's utterly terrible.  From reading Billy's Instagram, it appears having a granddaughter has made him a bit soft, nothing wrong with that.  What is wrong is the ear shattering horror of his attempts at crooning traditional holiday tunes.  Most of them are just wretched, the best is his new holiday song.  This could have been interesting if he'd perhaps tried doing pop/punk/rock versions of the songs, but as it stands, it is dull and sad.

title: A white hot mess of poppy punk brilliance.

text:
I discovered the band Hello Sleepwalkers via my instantaneous mad love for their kick-ass opening theme song to the anime Noragami (ノラガミ), which is featured here as track 2.  I've bought their entire back catalog and their newest CD as well and I have to say -- I freaking LOVE this band.  This is their 2nd studio album and it features ten tracks.  From start to finish it's a fantastic album, with a refreshing combination of punk-fueled energy and sardonic lyrical brilliance I personally find irresistible. There really isn't a bad track on this thing.  Masked Monkey Awakening rips it up with energy, anger, humor and blistering heat from start to finish. It's one of my favorites from 2014 so far.

Track Listing:

1  -  SARU HA KI KARA DOKO HE OCHIRU / 猿は木から何処へ落ちる / Where is the monkey who fell from the tree?
2  -  GOYA NO MACHIAWASE / 午夜の待ち合わせ / Meeting at Midnight
3  -  BLOODY MARY
4  -  COMIC RELIEF
5  -  SABAKU / 砂漠 / Desert Sand
6  -  TENCHI SOUZOU /  天地創造 / The Creation of Heaven and Earth
7  -  23
8  -  EKKYOU / 越境 / Transboundary
9  -  COUNTDOWN
10 -  ENBAN HIRAI /  円盤飛来 / Unidentified Flying Yen

title: Great CD

text: Johnny Tolley is one of my favorite singers. This CD is as good as they come. All of the songs are good, & some are truly beautiful. I have all of his CDs & look forward to enjoying this one for a long time. He has a mellow country music voice without a strong twang. It’s a pleasure to listen to him. He belongs at the top of the chart in my book. One of my favorites on this CD is a little slower version of the Del Shannon song I Go to Pieces. I also like Beyond the Blue Neon.

title: That it's really Eddie Rabbit singing.

text: I liked it very much.


title: Contains the best Over The Rhine song that you will probably never hear

text:
There is a song on here called "Making Pictures" that, at the time of this set's release, was never before on an OTR album. It is a beautiful, delicate duet between Karin and Linford. I'm sure that Linford would agree that he has an average voice; not a bad voice but probably not one that one would want to showcase all that often. But OTR has made the best of it and I have to say that any time that Linford sings I really like it. But none more than I do on this song. When this song pops up on my ipod it is not unusual for me to listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row. It is just so wonderful - the way their voice meld together along with the subtle, perfectly produced music.

When I saw the tracklist for OTR's newest release Love and Revelation I was happy to note that Making Pictures was on there also. Unfortunately Linford has been cut from the song. Karin's voice sounds great as one would expect, but the song went from a perfect 10 to an 8. Too bad, but at least I have this version.

As another reviewer mentioned this CD is actually called The Barn Raising Concerts. If it ever becomes unavailable on Amazon (which would not surprise me) you should just go to the band's website to purchase the download.

As far as live OTR albums go this is one of their best, maybe their actual best. The music and production are absolutely perfect. The tracklist is a little heavy on their most recent release but apart from that this offering is just as good as it gets. Karin and Lindford just continue to put out amazing music. Thank you both!


title: Wonderful

title: Four Stars

text: Would like to see the back and what songs are on this CD


title: Top collection of early De Groot songs.

text: I know it's youth-sentiment speaking, but I must admit that every time I listen to this excellent collection of De Groot's early work, I am moved. Most of these songs where written by the duo De Groot -Lennaert Nijgh, and what a cooperation it was. Since this was the sixties quite a bit of it was political as in the protest-songs "Welterusten Mijnheer de President" (Goodnight Mr President) about the Vietnam war, and the haunting "De Eeuwige Soldaat" (The Eternal Soldier), but most of it was sheer poetry "Het Land van Waas en Maal" , "Testament" and the teary, but wonderful "Verdronken Vlinder" (Drowned Butterfly).In short: a delight.<br />De Groot was born in 1944 and produced his last album in 2007, recently he has also announced that he is retiring completely from the music scene.

You've got the EXACT same thing, but at better graphics resolution.

It literally had to travel about half the world to get to to us, and came in about 2 weeks. I strongly recommend the set to Tolkein fans who just can't get enough.


title: The Classic Beginning

text: If you are a fan of Nightnoise, this is truly the "long lost" genesis album for which you have been looking. Credited to Billy Oskay and Michael ODomhnaill rather than Nightnoise, AllMusic.com says that this Windham Hill effort is the birth of New Age music. Both artists attempted to create a new musical genre by fusing celtic, jazz and chamber music elements into a new form. The whole is greater than a sum of the parts. I had heard a number of these cuts on Windham Hill samplers and Winter's Solstice releases but had not been able to source this first album until now. I can't endorse it more!


title: As I Remember It

text: I ran into the original vinyl of the "Brian May and Friends" E.P. when I was a deejay and we got it as a promo when it was released. After leaving the business several years later, I hunted for it high and low for a long time, but then forgot about it. A random conversation reminded me of it, and as with lost friends, the internet proved a valuable tool in finally tracking it down. I would have been happy with the original E.P. "Blues Breaker (dedicated to E.C.)" is worth the price of the album, as any time you can get two guitarists the level of Brian May and Edward Van Halen playing blues together is almost historical, but this extended album is better yet with compositions credited to May, Jimmy Page and the late Cozy Powell. Well worth the extra $ for the import.

title: Best CD ever

text: I have been a big fan of Ralph Stanley since I was a young girl.  I had an uncle who was a banjo player and a HUGE bluegrass fan.  I remember going to my first BlueGrass  show and seeing Ralph perform-I have been hooked every since.  My uncle and  used to go to every Bluegrass show around.  I have a lot of good memories.  My youth and my uncle are long gone, but I still have Ralph Stanley and his music.  I was extremely excited to see Ralph had a new CD.  I ordered it and anxiously awaited its arrival.  When I got it, I still didn't play it right away.  I wanted to wait until I took a car trip and could listen to it alone.  I love to blast Ralph's music and I have a really good sound system in my car.  Well I wasn't disappointed-I jammed with Ralph all the way to my destination.  Ralph still has a powerful voice and the song selection is great.  His band is perfection.  Its really unbelievable how Ralph delivers every time.  In my opinion Ralph is a gift from God.  He is a good person.  All my life in times of trouble I have always turned to Ralph's music and it always lifts me up!  I know he is going to retire, but I am hoping he continues to make music-hopefully more CD's.  Love this CD!!!!!!

text: You need to wrap cds in several layers as mine came all broken up into pieces. Luckily my cd was OK. Last month my cd of Thomas Ansers came all cracked up and pieces broken. I would like a new cd cover of Patrick Sebastiebs cd. I have no place to store it.


title: Love this CD!

text: Never heard of this artist but caught him on a late night radio show. Had to get the CD. Play it in the car all the time. Love his voice love his guitar and many of the songs he has written.


title: Five Stars

text: Good


title: Classic

text: Yes!


title: Only one like it on the market!

text: If you want work out music on your arm band like every one else at the gym, but you are not into downloading music, then buy this gem !  I deleted all the slow category workout songs on this player (yoga, etc), leaving the fast past work out songs. Tons of them. The lazy way to get work out tunes.


title: Three Stars

text: Thought I'd like her other music after "Frozen" but just didn't ht me.


title: Excellent CD Purchase

text: I had this recording on tape and it broke in the machine. I saw the CD version on line and I purchased it and it sounds better than the tape. I am very happy with my recent purchase.


title: Bach and His Cello Concertos Bravo

text: It's a most pleasurable experience to listen to Rostropovich playing Bach on the cello, takes you to a wonderful dream world.  So glad I added this album to my music collection.


title: Movie

text: I love this.mobie and am thrilled I finally own it. Got it super fast.


title: No one like Mr. C !

text: Mr. C is heaven. No one can beat that voice. Great variety of songs. This CD set makes me very happy!!!!


title: Cranberries Greatest Hits Collection

text: Love the Cranberries Collection of Hit Songs.


title: The journeys end by waking you up

text: I enjoyed the short and long journeys and was in and out of a sleeping state when the track instructed to leave the relaxing place I had visualized and guided me to feel fingers and toes and wake back up and get up.  Because this is a "sleep" cd I was expecting it to guide to a sleep state so that I could stay asleep.  The tracks were similar to the savasana part of a yoga practice where you roll over to one side and sit up.  The voice is nice and the guided imagery is good.  I found I had to turn the volume down as I became more relaxed because Reis' voice kept interfering with my relaxed state, kind of ironic because it was her voice that got me to that state.  I will be looking for another "sleep" visualization cd.


title: Awesome arrangement of beloved hyms

text: Beautifully arranged! Had a copy years ago and loaned it to someone and never got it back. Was thrilled to find it again! What talent Mr Greer has!!!


title: these are great

text: These audio cds are great!  David Tennant is a great narrator and the stories are so funny. My son and I love these and we've introduced our neighbor to them.


title: Three Stars

text: Disappointed that it is so similar to the opening Hell Freezes Over initial night show.  Love the Eagles!


title: Good, not great.

text: Very good, engrossing story, but it started to drag about halfway through.  Many chapters with nothing interesting happening....then a satisfying ending.


title: Worth Hearing Again and Again

text: What can I say? What can I add to the things that have already been said about Mozart?  This is lovely music, just the thing to listen to on a cold March day. I my be prejudiced, but I doubt Mozart ever wrote a bad piece of music.


title: Like going back in time!

text: Great historic time when the Beatles were on Jukebox Jury and later performed live for the audience. Aside from Ringo’s mic being off on the one song (usual lousy equipment and soundmen in the 60s), a fantastic performance!


title: Great material, sound quality is about 3.5/5.

text: This is an excellent collection of recordings, I strongly doubt all of them are from radio sessions but more likely a bunch of them are demo recordings. I think I probably have most of these on other releases, but very nice to get a chronological version on double vinyl. The sound quality leaves a bit to be desired - lack of dynamics most importantly - but I still recommend getting it for having all these compiled on one release. And if you haven't heard the material you're certainly in for a treat. The copy I got was pressed on green vinyl.


title: An extremely talented Violin virtuoso

text:
I bought this set with some skepticism about sound quality due to the age of recordings.  Happily I was delighted with even the oldest, 1915, recorded music.  Kreisler set the standard for all aspiring solo violinists.  This set is something to use as comparison with many of your favorite violinists performances of major pieces that were either, arranged by, or, composed by Fritz Kreisler.  Of note are the other top solo artists who recorded pieces with Kreisler.  The 1915 duo with Efrem Zimbalist is an excellent example of the richness of the performances available in their lifetime that was then "preserved" in the nascent days of audio recording.

Buy a piece of history.

title: A little bit of CBGBs history

text: Why stop at just the famous T-Shirt?  Get the real feel of the club with this great live album that captures the birth of the sound which made CBGB "the place to be" for music in NYC.


title: Four Stars

text: Nice CD for my collection


title: Very Good Workout for the Bass

text: Marvin Taylor's play-along CD is excellent.  From the energetic countoffs, to the real tracks with which you play, it is top quality.  To make it more user friendly for the novice, some typical licks in notation and/or tablature would be nice.  But, if you "get" the chord changes and already have some technique, it is an excellent play-along CD.  The only reason that it doesn't rate 5 stars is that it is so 12-bar blues heavy that it's easy to get lulled into using the same shuffle pattern for tune after tune.


title: Cash Money Fans

text: To all my Cash money fans out there, this is the mixtape for you and if you don't like cash money this is the mixtape that will seriouly change your mind. It was mixed very well; so well to the point if you having a lil party at the spot you can put this joint on and just let it run.  It got everything plus the DJ mixes so well that you won't miss a beat bro.<br />Pick this one up mos def. Peace, 100.


title: Es un clásico del pop-rock

text: Está muy bien conservado.


title: Excellent classic

text: What’s not to like in this cd?  I love every song done by John Denver.  He was such a talented man that died way too young.


title: Two great albums from a great band

text: I love both albums so it was great to have them together


title: Sounds good music

text: A real good quality cassette sounds great the product gets a thumbs up thank you


title: Good worships songs

text:
This is one of my favorite CDs when I want to hear a worship song. My favorite song and my church's favorite is "The Weight of Your Glory." Everytime I played that song in church the people responded and began to worship the Lord.

 The other song I like is "Everything". But the one I especially like is "Cried Holy". It's based off an experience he had in heaven. He brought this song out at the right time, cause more of the Body of Christ is beginning to look for more experiential revelation and wants to truly know Him. I read His testimony on doxology.com and it was just an awesome report.

 I've been waiting for his CD to be availale on Amazon.com for the longest, so I could put it in my Listmania list to tell the Amazon.com users to buy his CD.

 By the way, Israel Houghton produced this album, so u know it's good. So get this CD and be blessed.


title: Track List

text:
Here's the track list, from the wikipedia:

1.  "I'm Your Daddy" (featuring Kenny G)
2.  "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" (featuring Sara Bareilles)
3.  "Why Bother?" (Live in Tribeca at the PC Richard and Son Theater)
4.  "Brain Stew" (Green Day cover)
5.  "Buddy Holly" (Live acoustic at the Hard Rock Cafe, New York City)


title: Life Changing

text: Paul Scheele has changed my life. I highly recommend all of his paraliminals.


title: Many Thanks!!!

text: I started enjoying her work back in the late 70s, when I found out about this new release, I was overjoyed. There were concerns when I saw some of the older titles. When I heard the songs, I was amazed!  She put new life and different textures to the songs, and there was now different emotions brought out. Wow! Very Moving!! I didn’t expect some new feelings to come out from these classics.  What a wonderful surprise!!! Hopefully, she’ll tour again.

text: In my life I've always realized at the age of 40 that I really really liked a great album received wonderfully a critically and acclaimed by everyone who heard it and all that great great stuff. The truth is that a concept album or an album that may not have done so popularly it's probably going to be the album that's going to be a favorite and the most collectible due to its minimal availability. 1200 of these I've only been made. I got mine enough said.


title: On the Top of My List

text: What smooth and wonderful music this CD provides of some of the best "oldies, but goodies." Since it arrived, it's become my favorite CD to play while in the car and at home. In fact, I've just about worn it out, playing it so much.  It provides excellent background music.  Several of the selections were unfamiliar to me ("How Soon" and "Our Love Affair" ) and have now become favorites. I hit the "repeat" button often. Other songs ("Hello, Young Lovers," "On the Street Where you Live," and "Baubles, Bangles And Beads," ) bring back memories of good musicals on stage and screen. Then there's themes from movies ("Days of Wine and Roses," "Moon River," "Smile") and the list goes on. Frank Chacksfield's distinct and smooth style makes for beautiful arrangements of a wide variety of selections. For a trip down memory lane and some high quality, great music, add this to your collection. Shipping note: although the CD jewel case was slightly cracked in shipment, the CD, itself was in excellent condition.

title: Amazing Resurrection

text:
Killah Priest has been killing it since the mid 90's..  KP was so a ahead of his time, for instance lyrics from Heavy Mental, 1998.....  Xbox One he saw you coming.

A man can't even recognise his family
I blame it on humanity, for this insanity, spy satellites
The last data for life, theres no day or night, CIA
Take samples of my DNA, new borns, grow horns, placed in uniforms
Shipped off to the military, with they killed and buried...
Interactive tv sets will be watching us, just as we watched them
They will also report back to the beast at computer headquarters
Our telephone conversations will be automatically wire taped
And transcripted by the national security agency

This new album takes me right back to Heavy Mental, the king of elevated hip hop has returned.  It doesn't get all pop sounding like a few of his albums have over the years.

Overall a resurrection of one of hip hop greats.

title: A Testament to the Blood Red Letters

text:
or over a hundred years now, most American bibles have been printed with the words of Christ in red. Lately, this has given rise to `Red Letter Christians' either as a self-description or a pejorative by others. But, regardless if the words are in red or black or any other color, the words of Christ stand out in the Gospels and have helped Christians across the centuries, giving them direction, comfort, and acting in many ways as the Psalms does for both Jews and Christians. Now, The Red Letters Project takes the words in red as found in the NLT's Gospel of Matthew, setting them to music, and in the process, creating a radical way to hear and to spread those blood-red words.

From the website,

  "The Red Letters Project is a musical experience like no other.  The red letters of Jesus from the Book of Matthew (NLT) take on new life as they are set to rock music.  Word for word, songs are formed without concern of rhyme or adding any definition.  The result is a new way of hearing and experiencing the Gospel.  This is The Red Letters Project."

Ranging in styles from ballads to pop rock to more of the heavy side of the genre, the Project takes the NLT's translation of the Gospel of Matthew and sets it to contemporary rock music. It reminds me, for the most part, more of the alternative scale, but doesn't focus on music. Instead, the words come across, powerfully, reminding us of the precious words of Christ. Each `red word' is featured in the project which covers the entire Gospel according to Matthew. Simply, these powerful songs appeal in style to a younger generation, and indeed, those of an older generation who might like something harder than choral music in the morning. While for me, I prefer something more with twang, I couldn't find too many of the songs that I had to skip through. Perhaps this is due to the subject matter, but I enjoyed the range of styles - some more than others - and the way that the arrangements didn't take away from the preaching, er, singing of the Word of God.

This is not only a testament to the beauty of the blood-red words, but so to the translation style of the New Living Translation. The Red Letters Project shows that unlike other translation styles, the NLT can not only be read clearly, but transformed into a conversational song. There are few,if any, clips, stops, and sudden starts in transferring the words to song. If anything, hearing the words of Christ translated in the NLT and sung in a generational voice heightens the intensity of the NLT's translation.

For those seeking to share the Gospel of Matthew with those who listen to nothing but what comes out of  iPods, this is a great witnessing tool. For those who mind that modern `Christian' music is lacking a certain message - there is nothing more powerful than hearing the words of Christ sung.


title: My new favorite cd

text: I love this cd.  We had the tapes Acapella and We Shall Rise when I was young, so I grew up listening to those.  Tapes being a thing of the past, we just kind of filed them away and forgot about them.  I debated getting this cd a while ago but never did, but being someone who is always looking for fresh, conservative, Christian music to listen to, I finally decided to get it.  I am so glad I did.  I wish the group was still producing their cds, because I would probably buy them all.  Why aren't they???  I hope whoever is reading this can find a copy.


title: Good for the price

text: I like the fact that you can hear<br />The Beatles live. What I didn't like was the fact that the only performances that sounded great were the 1964 Austrailia and the 1966 Japan performances.


title: Almost Perfect but fine

text: The CD has a good sound except for the first two tracks of "The Beatles VI" they didn't sound as clear as the rest of the CD so I'm giving it a B+ for that reason if not for that I would have gave it 5 stars. I would still recommend this CD to any Beatles fan.


title: Love the Time Life Presents the 60s CD

text: love the music and enjoy singing along


title: I am the author of this

text: It is a multimedia CD-ROM which can be played only on Mac Classic operating systems and Windows 98 and previous operating systems. It is not updated to any later operating systems, so it requires these systems. Classic Mac operating system is available on recent Macs, but the buyer must check for compatibility.<br />If you can play this, its a great product.


title: Love it

text: Great CD from one of my favorites out there.


title: A classic, divine!

text: This cd is a classic!!! Put this on and watch the Holy Sprit engulf the atmosphere!!! Has brought me peace for many years!


title: Love this compilation

text: I listened to this while giving birth in 1990 and the months that followed my child's infancy, babyhood, toddler years. These sounds are beautiful and hold a most special place in my being. Soothing, serene, uplifting and joyous.


title: susesos musicales

text: Los discos de Libertad la marque son todo buenos


title: Creat Old Album

text: My brother loved it. Hadn't heard it for 47 years. Record was in very good condition and played fine.

text: I am not a huge fan of rap music, but this particular album is so full of great lyrics and energy that I give it a special place in my collection.  You can really feel yourself transported to the battlefields of Iraq and feel the raw energy.  I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys the genre or is simply a fan of outstanding music.


title: Impeccable performances

text: The performances on this CD are absolutely beautiful.  Not only are the soloists (Anthony Pay - clarinet; Timothy Brown - horn; Neil Black - oboe) superb, the whole chamber ensemble is simply fabulous.  The phrasing between the soloists and the ensemble is remarkably  good.  I have several other fine recording of these works, but upon hearing this recording just once, I knew it is the best of the best.


title: a wonderful trip down memory lane

text: the music of the fifties is still very much loved by us older music lovers.


title: Great item

text: Great item! Love the CD


title: Excellent

text: If you're a true Chicago fan,  no collection is complete without Transit Authority.  This was there break-through album and although they covered many styles of music,  they eventually figured it out.  I'm a Man is classic.


title: Good CD

text: I think this may be the first CD by Average Joe.  I like it because I saw him play in Florida so I followed him.  It's too bad that he didn't stick with music because Joe has both a great voice and versatility with his music.


title: Amazing vocals

text: This is a fine tuned version of songs from their first CD.  Joe does a great job with vocals.


title: Embraces your soul and nourishes it for life.

text: I listened to Mario play on the streets of Santa Fe maybe 20 years ago.  Day after day we walked the area and would pass by him and I was hooked.  His music carried through tough times, fun and happy times and times when I had to do mundane things like a tax return or other paper work.  It gave me a backbone to carry through.  I lost my CD to a crack in it about 7 years ago.  It was like loosing an important medicine for my soul.  Thank you Amazon for making this CD available to me once again.  My spirit waits for it musical partner while I wait for this CD to arrive at my home.  Mario, if you read this, you did more than you realize when you played on the streets of Santa Fe in the 1990's.


title: An exploratory audioscape

text:
After twenty years on the scene, the artist wants to come out with something experimental. For most bands this is a signal that they're out of ideas and are about to collapse into radio nostalgia on way-back-weekends.

Not Trent Reznor. The Ghosts are truly something very new on a long-known but previously underdeveloped foundation. Consider "A Warm Place" off Downward Spiral or the opening to "Something I could never have" off Pretty Hate Machine. These were reminders that beneath (and even coexisting with) the screams and mechanistic vicissitudes that define industrial music, Trent Reznor is a consummate musician.

"Ghosts" is fully a harmonic successor to the atmospheric movements on the very underappreciated "The Fragile". Consider the 1999 album's "La Mer" or "Pilgrimage" as opposed to "Where is Everybody?" or "The Wretched". Not to say that NIN isn't atmospheric, but rather that there are definitely tracks with an intentional message as opposed to tracks that are more meant for the listener to get lost in. Ghosts is clearly the latter.

This is not an album you'll "get" in one sitting. It would fail miserably if it were so simplistic. Let it grow on you as you meditate through it.


title: Love it.

text: Great sound. Sounds as if it was recorded with top quality recording equipment.


title: The Best

text: Great CD with all the best of Talking Heads. Shipped quick & secure.


title: What a fabulous album...

text: So old - now I find it - 2018 - this is the perfect album - I've bought one for my daughter - the seller has raised his price $10 - but I had credit.. LOL!


title: Chris is excellent

text: Chris Rea is one of the best of the best - and this album is excellent.


title: beautiful voice

text: The songs are authentic Celtic music.  Paul Winter's saxophone adds a haunting voice.  Sit and listen.  Your Irish heart will glow.


title: MUST READ

text: When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I didn't know which way to turn.  This wonderful book gave me comfort by seeing how this family worked together to care for their mother with love and understanding while being sympathetic to their father's needs, too; the numerous decisions they had to make and why they choose them; and how they knew that God was in control and he would bring them through it.  Even though I have completed reading the book, I will keep it with me the entire time I care for my Dad for inspiration and encouragement from all the personal scriptures they included.


title: Vic Dana at His Best

text:
This is Vic Dana at his very best.  It doesn't have all the songs of the Complete Hits of Vic Dana (most notably missing are:  I Love You Drops, A Million and One, and If I Never Knew Your Name), but it does have two songs that you won't find on that CD.  I bought this cd for his version of Softly As I Leave You.  It also includes Somewhere My Love (Lara's theme from Dr. Zhivago) which is also wonderfully done.  This CD was originally released as an album in 1966 on Liberty Records.  This album was a favorite of my brother and myself and even my mother and grandmother used to come listen to the songs back when we were kids.  Below is the track listing:

1. Red Roses for a Blue Lady (2:49)
2. Moonlight and Roses (Bring Mem'ries of You) (2:50)
3. Garden in the Rain (2:15)
4. Love Is All We Need (2:24)
5. Bring a Little Sunshine (To My Heart) (2:37)
6. Shangri-la (2:05)
7. More (2:21)
8. I Will (2:40)
9. Crystal Chandelier (2:56)
10. Somewhere, My Love (Lara's Theme from Dr. Zhivago) (2:36)
11. Softly, as I Leave You (2:44)
12. Little Altar Boy (3:22)

This is a great cd and the sound is great for recordings of that era.  Every song on here is a winner and Vic's voice really shines on this cd.  He was definitely at his best with this group of songs.  The cd flows easily from one great song to the next.  Every song is enjoyable.  I recommend you buy it while there are still some new and used copies available at a reasonable price.


This is a prized possession of mine having purchased it directly from the band back in the day. I view it akin to Nirvana's Bleach; raw, unpolished, and something a fan of the Youngblood Brass Band would should own. Track 6, Next to You, should be played in a small room, very very loudly. The goosebumps the horn section can produce are amazing. Sure, some of the high notes are scooped a little, but the energy and passion the band brings to this song, and the album is undeniable. I hope at some point the band re-presses this disc as a throwback album.Why not 5 stars? Because I don't want every current YBBB fan to rush out and drop bank on this oldie thinking that this is a gem they've been missing their entire life and then not fall in love with the original sound these guys produced. Think of it as being a Weezer fan and having never heard the Blue Album. If that person even exists who loves Weezer's current music so much, the Blue Album would be startling to hear and different to the point where it may not be enjoyable. But that's my point, having listened to this album many times and following the band as they evolved, Better Recognize will always be my favorite from YBBB even though there new albums don't disappoint (which many Weezer fans will proclaim).


title: Poor Album

text: More artists other then Mills Brothers on CD.<br />Pretty poor quality over all.


title: Prince can do no wrong!

text: .I guess I expected more songs but the music on there was fabulous. I love Prince!


title: Ashley thanks for the music

text: I am not very good at music. I know what I like and I like her songs. Her voice is great, I will be looking for future CDs.


title: Greetings from a Kickstarter backer

text:
I could go on and on about this lovingly assembled and beautifully made box set...but I don't have to. Everything you would ever want to know, from how Ozma Records gained access to the original source tapes to photos of the finished sets getting shipped, is on the project's Kickstarter page. Just search for "Voyager Golden Record" at Kickstarter.

Ozma's own website also has a lot of great product shots (hint, hint)!

Five stars.


title: Royally insane

text:
If you're reading this, you're either a Madonna fan with a great sense of humor or a Teenage Fanclub fan with a great sense of humour (there's a [[ASIN:B005NNVI1E Pink Floyd]] song on here too but it's actually pretty straightforward).

Yep, the best thing on this platter is the cover of [[ASIN:B00122FMC6 Like A Virgin]]. The Fanclub originals are tossed off filler and will only be interesting to dedicated collectors. But you gotta love how TF have taken a brain dead dance club hit and made it even more stupid. TF dumbed down the beat, cranked up the feedback and distortion on the guitars, and threw a lazy, soporific vocal on top. Brilliant!


title: Sweet collectors item

text:
Yep, you get the lead-off track from the 'Mats breakthrough album LET IT BE, featuring a [[ASIN:B000001I0A Peter Buck]] guitar solo. But whatcha really want are the T.Rex and Hank Williams covers on the B-side. Sloppy, raw, out of tune...in short, everything that was great about the Replacements!

Listen carefully after Hey Good Lookin' ends to hear the distinctive intro riff from [[ASIN:B002CA6DSO Feel]] by Big Star. The story is that Hey Good Lookin' was recorded on a cassette tape that originally held a tour van mix that the band listened to on the road. The "live" track ended exactly where Feel began and the random segue made it onto this 12". Cool and a foreshadowing of [[ASIN:B000065M2R Alex Chilton]] on PLEASED TO MEET ME.


title: Never Mind the Verucas

text:
That's right. It's Veruca Salt covering one of the Sex Pistols' most obnoxious songs. That alone makes this single a must have for Nina-period VS fans. Those angelic voices sweetly singing that which Johnny Rotten so savagely sneered (I'm not an animal!)...now that's truly epic.

Also note that there are UK and US releases of this single. Don't pony up big bucks for an "exclusive" without doing some snooping around first.
