title: Great!

text: Was super excited to get this for my birthday! Came a few days late but the weather in my area has been bad so not a huge deal!


title: Totalmente decepcionado

text: Espere mucho esta compilación, cuando llegó me sorprendí mucho por qué los intérpretes no son los cantantes originales


title: Versiones en Vivo

text: Antes de adquirir el Cd consideren que no es una recopilación de canciones en 12" es un recopilatorio en vivo.


title: A little dissapointed

text:
A 90's kid, I bought this hoping I'd get some great music. And there is some. But most of these songs I've never heard before... I thought NOW cds were more pop and alternative, but this cd has country and some weird slow songs.

Out of the 3 cds, I really only listen to one of them. Make sure you look at the track listings before you buy; you might be better off just making your own mixed tape.


title: An all-time favorite album

text: This album has some excellent acoustic songs, with thought, humor and tenderness in the writing.  Daddy's Little Girl still brings a tear to my eye.  Bazooka Joe moves well, and brightens my spirits.  Generation Y (also re-done well on Seals' solo "Revolution of One") is excellent and really speaks to us 30somethings.


title: Good old memories, they've never missed a beat!

text: I'm glad that I bought the album. It brought back good old memories of  the 70's. It's good stuff and a unique sound.


title: Some times traveling back in time is good!

text: I forgot how much that I liked Jethro Tull. So this album was a good welcome back. Now I think that I buy some additional  Tull CD's too.


title: Rock On!

text: Great Doom Metal album.


Was exactly what I wanted. Have so enjoyed the peace and tranquility it promotes. We use this CD in our yoga classes at the fitness center.


title: unique soulful sound

title: Interesting performance by the rebooted Burritos from 1975

text: I read that a couple of years ago the Burritos added their 2000th official member. That's an exaggeration, but one source lists about 60 official members during their 53 year history, under various Burrito names. The band was founded in 1969 by former Byrds Gram Parsons (vocals and guitar) and Chris Hillman (guitar and vocals), along with Sneaky Pete Kleinow (pedal steel guitar) and Chris Ethridge (bass). Five of eleven official members of the Byrds were at one time official members of the Burritos, and five more Byrds performed with the Burritos. Of the original four, only Chris Hillman survives. After Hillman disbanded the FBB in 1972, founding members Kleinow and Ethridge rebooted the band in 1975, along with former Byrd Gene Parsons (drums and vocals), Joel Scott Hill (guitar and vocals), and Gib Gilbeau (vocals, guitar, fiddle). This is a live recording by the rebooted band. The musicianship is superb, although the band is lacking in terms of singing, songwriting, and originality. This is a fine quality recording with lively musicianship. It's worth a listen, but doesn't approach the original band in terms of creativity, personality, or vocals.


title: Off the Ground + 12 Terrific B-Sides

text: The four singles released from Off the Ground were each released as a four track extended play (or maxi-single) CD. The Complete Works includes a disc with the full Off the Ground album, plus twelve non-album tracks which appeared on these EPs. Not included are the live version of "Biker Like an Icon" which is available on Paul Is Live, and "Deliverance", which is a dance track released as the b-side to an alternative single of "C'mon People". "Midnight Special" and "Things We Said Today" were recorded for Unplugged, but released on the "Biker Like an Icon" EP rather than the Unplugged album. Off the Ground is McCartney's most overt political album, championing environmental causes, animal rights, political activism, etc. The musicianship and production are exceptional and the lyrics are coherent, if not downright witty. The second disc, containing all the "b-sides", is comparable to the first, with standout tracks such as "Big Boys Bickering" (a terrific folk-protest song, left off the album no-doubt due to the generous use of the F-word), Kicked Around No More (which is uncharacteristically melancholy), and Sweet Sweet Memories (a nostalgic rocker). Five stars may be a little high, but four would be a little low.  If this album can't be bought at an affordable price, it would be well worth seeking out the CD singles or checking out something like the Japanese import The Other Side of Off the Ground.


title: World's Greatest Live Rock Band - Reunion

text: The Who regrouped for a handful of concerts in 1999 for the first time as true rock band. (Concert tours in 1989-1990 & 1996-1997 featured several guest performers for Tommy & Quadrophenia, respectively). For these concerts, the Who consisted of Townshend, Daltrey, and Entwhistle, plus Rabbit Bundrick on keyboards and Zak Starkey on drums. And the Who came very close to recapturing the fire of the World's Greatest Live Rock Band. They perform powerful versions of many of their classics, plus rareities like "Pure and Easy" and "After the Fire". Daltrey's voice sounds great, Townshend's improvising guitar riffs are awesome, and Entwhistle's bass playing is explosive. Of special note is Entwhistle's unbelievable bass solo on "5:15". Even the few underwhelming moments are enjoyable.


title: Awesome-ish - Hope for a reissue someday

text: I'm not a big fan of re-issue type box sets, but when this was released I decided to take a chance and plunk down the $120 or so to get it. I wasn't even remotely disappointed. The first two discs include 24 fully realized "demos" of "all" the Lifehouse songs, including Pete's eight songs which appeared on Who's Next, several that appeared on singles, a few that appeared on later Townshend or Who albums, and a few that are more rare. Pete plays all instruments, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, synths, etc. superbly, and while not offering up the fire of Who performances, the songs do offer a more personalized and coherent presentation. Disc three offers several "experimental" tracks which were rejected for the final lineup for various reasons. These tracks range from fair to good, but always very interesting. Disc four includes various orchestrations, generally with classical collaborators. Discs five and six present a radio dramatic play, again very interesting, but seemingly still unfinished nearly three decades on. Also included is a substantial, informative and enjoyable, booklet which attempts to provide a perspective of the genesis and development of the lifehouse project. The first two discs deserve five stars, while the rest is of lesser musical value, but still highly worthwhile. A handful of the tracks were issued commercially as Lifehouse Elements. Townshend also performed the entire rock opera live at Sadler's Wells in 2000, a performance released on CD and DVD.


title: Wow! Wow! and Wow!

text: Who would have thought that the Band without Robbie Robertson would be this great? How is it possible that a band this awesome, with an incredible history, could take ten years to secure a recording contract? I consider Rock of Ages to be among the very best live albums ever, but this recording is certainly comparable and, perhaps, even more personable. Helm, Danko, Manual, and Hudson are all in premium form, Earl Cate plays superb guitar, and the Cate Brothers band provide flexibility for the Band to really have some fun. There's a fair amount of overlap with Rock of Ages, but there are also some differences in song selection, and there is a somewhat different ambience here. The sound quality (as best as I can tell) is excellent. Lots of fun.

title: JONI MITCHELL -- At Last

text:
JONI MITCHELL – At Last

I remember driving in to work in pre-dawn darkness -- having to pull over to the side of the road, to focus on the mesmerizing sound of a huge orchestra, beautifully arranged, with a singer I couldn't immediately identify:  At song's end, the (AM) radio announcer said simply, “Joni Mitchell, from her latest album – “At Last.”

No mention of course of who arranged the lush and lovely orchestration, with its 1950s trademark 'chink-chink-chink' piano accompaniment, a throw-back to the early days of rock 'n' roll when other types of pop songs, ballads especially (like Percy Faith's A SUMMER PLACE) were struggling to reach our ears on radio. AM radio. Played through a tiny little speaker (just one) in your dashboard. [ ! ]

Flash forward 20 years: Still my favorite recording of AT LAST – a song by my second-favorite composer Harry (Salvatore Guaragna) Warren. Not among his record 21 Number one hits (by almost as many artists).

In recent days my favorite reviewer at YouTube – a kindred soul who touches on all the right notes -- is “Noe Berengena.” No surprise then to find his review is the one spotlighted at Amazon [5 stars and titled]

"Gifts to my close friends
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2022
Verified Purchase

When I first got this CD I must have played the song "At Last" close to ten times. I could not get enough of it. Eventually I ventured to other tracks and several really moved me. Probably tops on that list was "A Case of You," here re-interpreted by an older and wiser Joni Mitchell.

The interesting thing about this CD is that I hardly ever play it end to end. It's almost always a particular selection that I want to listen to. Part of that perhaps is that the songs often have very different moods. Some, like "You're My Thrill" have an exuberance about them. Yes, I have listened to that in a parked car, unable to drive because I want to be completely focused. There are light moments as well. "I Wish I Was In Love Again" comes to mind. I zero in on the lyric about the plates flying when lovers quarrel.

I highly recommend this CD. (I suppose that is obvious from what I wrote.)

title: Great Memories

text: I remember listening to this record as a child. I loved it, both the story of Bambi and the Tootlepipers' Zoo on the reverse side. Somewhere along the line I inherited the album when my kids were little. A couple of weeks ago my son, now nearly 30 yrs old, mentioned how he loved those childhood songs. Luckily, it is still available through 3rd parties on amazon. Guess what he is getting for his birthday next week?

title: Great vinyl, great Bangles album

title: Absolutely Awesome!

text: My Daughter bought this for herself and she loved it! She was happy that she also got extra posters, photocards, and stickers!


title: Great Collection!

text: Awesome collection from Genesis' earlier "progressive rock" era to their "pop" sound and "adult contemporary" sound as they matured, a little bit of mixed genre for everyone to enjoy. I was surprised to see and hear Genesis music at a Starbucks of all places, considering Starbucks only seems to play modern-day "hoity-toit" new-age type music of today (stuff I never heard of), let's be honest folks. I'm trying to wake up to my double-espresso early in the morning and all I usually get is music that puts me to sleep, even double-espresso won't do the trick. So it was nice to hear my favorite band of all-time Genesis playing in the background ("Land Of Confusion") for a nice change. And since I'm not too familiar with Starbucks at all (still), I had no clue they sold CD's, until I happen to notice that morning of 2007 this Genesis album on a stand next to the register, bought in a heartbeat without asking the price...just bought it, Genesis music CD collector here. My only gripe, the song "Abacab" has an audio glitch near the end, very noticeable. Other than that, the sound quality is great, and decent choice of picks from this collection. Now all we need is classic country to start playing in Starbucks...Waylon Jennings anyone? Yes, old dude here.

title: ELP - great band

text: Great band - wonderful music


title: Great CD

text: I LOVE Joan Jett and grew up wth The Runaways and I love this CD. The only thing that I am disappointed in is the quality of the recording. Really not good and I understand it is from 1976 and 1981 but I would think that the company that rerecorded it would have had some way to improve it. I still love the CD. The 4 stars is because of the quality of the recording.


title: More choral than instrumental, if you're into that kind of thing

text: Check the playlist before you buy. I know this is more personal taste. I was looking for more of the instrumental jazz, but my bad for not doing the research. There are plenty of Mancini compilations out there, but it's hard to find a good vinyl with only the instrumental jazz from Peter Gunn, Pink Panther, Haktari, etc. Especially Pink Panther! I love that stuff, grew up with it... but I digress. Each one of the four sides of this 2xLP open with one of this great pieces... then it goes into the chorals which is not really "my thang." Anyway! If you're into Mancini's more choral pieces--in the style that some would say he shared with Ray Conniff and some would frown upon this analogy--this is your album. I don't remember well because I don't listen to it much, but the two vinyl records are thin on this one and recording may have had a bit of that dated 70s/80s sound, with just the right amount of sibilance that make take you back in time. ;)

title: Good death metal.

text: Fans of death metal, melodic death metal, and even black metal should enjoy this record. It's got a raw production sound, but it's good music, done by people who actually know how to write a song. It's great. My favorite track might just be "Shards of Reality" because of it's intensity and melodic guitar style. Then again, "Black Iris Rising" is very black metal in some ways which I love. My only real complaint is that the drums are VERY loud, which normally would be fine if it didn't overpower everything else. And sometimes the drums do tend to do that. Every track is killer if you're into the underground death metal style. It's very old school. I recommend this one to anyone who is a fan of Amon Amarth, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, or even Behemoth.


title: Not what I wanted

text: I wanted to order the series but got this instead.  DVD was shipped very fast and watched the performances.  Overall it's okay but prefer the series.


title: 59.98? WTF?

text: Sadly I only have the CD case from my trip to Okinawa and was blown away that someone would be selling it for $60.


title: The Whitley legacy continues its excellence.

text:
To say Trixie's voice is soulful is an understatement, she attains the mastery of her contemporaries such as Christina Aquilara and Alicia Keyes.
  Her muse is clearly a fusion of urban gospel and a folksy delta blues with an instrumental approach that is both cinematic and ethereal at times and a hard driving dirt floor blues in other ways.
Listen in sequence to these unique tracks and you will sense a theme of intense exploration as well as new life that intersects with new creativity.
An homage to her late father Chris Whitley can be found in traces of her guitar style as her voice brings the intensity Chris himself often explored in live performance.
You owe it to your ears to experience this CD as well as her previous studio effort ...4th corner.
Her father would be so proud.

text: The greatest of his time!  No one comes close enough today what once was!


title: Peter Furler is not Newsboys (and that's ok)

text: This album is fantastic, and showcases the best talents of one of CCM's most prolific and eclectic songwriters. In an industry driven by strict genre-marketing and cookie cutter acts, it's awesome to see someone like Peter Furler release a power-trio rock album like this right after releasing an electronic pop-rock album (On Fire, 2011). His newsboys career was great, but these two solo albums are a whole different kind of great, and I am so glad he didn't stay in retirement.

The photobook is beautiful and full of handsome pictures of both Leo and Ravi. The songs are great and heartfelt. My favorite song on the album is Beautiful Liar of course haha, but I also greatly appreciate the other songs as well. I love that each of them has a solo. It's a beautiful album and a great price!

text: This is the precursor to to the HBO series. Some names and characters are different because it's set in the UK, but it foreshadowed many episodes that came in the TV series. This also includes Neil Finn, frontman of Australian band Crowded House (although he's from New Zealand). It's a must have for fans of both Flight of the Conchords and Neil Finn. Audio only, but hilarious, just the same.

text: I bought this so that I could have ALL that Mr. Monk had recorded.on what was eventually the Prestige label. As such, I am not at all disappointed. It not only includes the recordings he made as leader, but it also includes the various recordings he made as a sideman. The sound is at least on a par with my well-played LP's.<br />It is well worth it for me, but as an introduction to Monk, I would opt for Blue Note or Riverside compilations as either would be more representative of hid best work.


title: Fun Music Played by Musicians Having a Good Time

text: Mr. Stein and friends seem to have caught the Venuti contagion. Unfortunately we can still hear the original on his recordings. Of course the sound is better here.


title: Martinu & Suk - a Wonderful Combination

text:
Martinu had an unique voice and Suk knew just how to say what he needed.  This CD replaces a well worn CD, giving you an idea of how much I enjoy the violin concertos.
Additionally, Suk was an excellent violist and this CD goes in front of the other 3 recordings I have on LP.
Get it while you can.


title: Sound Standard Performances of Handel Violin Sonatas with harpsichord Accompaniment

text:
This is definitely performed as a violin sonata with harpsichord accompaniment, and there are many places where it is difficult to hear Ms Ruzickova. However, she and Mr. Suk seem to be of similar minds in playing this set using the earlier performance standards, not the current "original" practice.
Given this, the players seem to be of one mind and the pieces are well thought out and enjoyable to listen to.
Note: The Denon recording has what appears to be adequate information. Unfortunately for me, they are in Japanese, a language with which I have no facility.  If this is your first time to listen to these pieces, opt for an edition with notes in a language you can readily understand.


title: All the Paganini You'll Ever Want and More

text:
This box contains more than you probably need of Paganini, the great violinist/composer. Much of the music (the concertos) is played on the composer's instrument by Quarta, who did very well by him.

Additionally, there are the Accardo versions of the smaller pieces for violin and orchestra plus some historical recordings by Menuhin and Ricci.

If you have an affinity for this composer (as I have had for over 60 years), get this box while it is still available. You won't regret it.


title: Early Lacy Playing Lots of Monk

text:
This is a collection of 4 early Steve Lacy recordings - from around the time he had appeared with Thelonious Monk (there are lots of Monk tunes on the recordings). I originally bought these on vinyl when they appeared. The sound is a lot better than my long ago over-played recordings and the set is substantially cheaper.

What about the music? This is classic Lacy, really well done. He had a great affinity for Monk and it comes across. Decades later, Lacy was still playing Monk almost as well as the original.

I Love it!!!


title: Lang/Venuti in Stereo?

text:
For some reason, when remastering a bunch of classic recordings, Mr. Parker decided to produce pseudo stereo sound. For what it is, the sound is really good but it's the perfomances that are the issue. Lang and Venuti are irresistable. Lang was the progenitor of jazz guitar and Venuti the paragon of jazz violinists.

This is an excellent sampling of Lang/Venuti. As such, I would recommend it as an introduction to this creative classic duo - except for one caveat - this one relatively rare CD now costs almost as much as the significantly more comprehensive (and excellently remastered) JSP four CD set.

Suggestion: Listen to the samplings, and, if you like them, go for the JSP four CD set. You won't miss the "stereo."

title: A lost song found

text:
Thank you to "alotabooksandstuff" for having this rare find in the storeroom. "I'm Breathless", a little ditty from the '40 early WW11 period, was apparenly popular with the servicemen. My Dad, Navy, sang it to me all through my growing up and after his passing I was convinced it was gone forever. On a whim I "goog;ed" it again and found the lyrics and a forum of others talking about their Dads and Husbands siging this silly tune. Further down the search I came up a listing for the actual 78rpm disc.
It arrived in mint condition and now sits on my Victrola ready to warm my heart and I have regained a piece of my history and a connection to my Dad now gone nearly 25 years.
"Im Breathless" my the Merry Macs is around and available


title: Great collection

text: Really well done collection. Love it.<br />If you're a Burzum fan and you want the CDs, here ya go.


title: Moody Blues

text: Have liked them since High School in the 60's , seen them numerous  times  , to me they have only gotten better ,but now voices are changing and they are getting older . Want to remember them as they were.


title: Not as Good as I Expected

text: For some reason, I thought this was going to be smart sophisticated Polish Jazz, which I love.  It is not. Gave it away.  It was all right, but not my cup of tea.  May have been my fault.  I was looking for something else.  It is Polish pop of a sort.


title: Religious German Christmas & Traditional Choir A Must for Those Who Love the Christmas Spirit

title: Two Stars

text: I thought I was buying a CD not a 33 vinyl.


title: Lovely

text: Bought this for myself out of curiosity as a 60 yr old Beatles fan. Liked it so much, bought another for an expecting co-worker. Then bought a 3rd copy for my daughter-in-law.  My favorites are the And I Love Her and If I Fell versions. Lovely music.


title: Listen to Clips First

text:
I bought this CD based on one of their songs that I heard on the radio in Austin, Texas.
The song was great but it was totally misleading.  The rest of the CD was an entirely
different type of music.


title: Real Good Album

text: It is like listening to a long last Fleetwood Mac album.  You can really see how much they both influence Fleetwood Mac's sound.


I could not believe I actually found this CD. I bought it years ago and loved the selections. Finding it made my day and it was very reasonable.


title: Loved it! Had all the music of the DVD ...

text: Loved it!  Had all the music of the DVD and with the full song. Instead of the normal documentary with one verse and then interrupt with a narrator. I really liked the add lib unrehearsed segment from the hotel rooms etc.


title: Great for teen

text: My 11 yr old niece loves it.


title: I like it with the new versions

text: This is different and I like it with the new arrangements and the sound is superb.


title: GOOD CD

text: This CD is very good with all three orchestras and the sound is like if it was recorded recently with the new technology


title: Five Stars

title: Includes the OP's and ED's but no "Holy Night".

Missing "Holy Night" but highly enjoyable album. Minori's laugh in "Full Swing" is super cute. The songs it includes are: PreParade, Frascoration, silky heart, Please Freeze, Complete, I MY, Ore Ni Dekiru Koto, Full Swing, Shitsuren Samba, Yes!, Ka.Ra.Ku.Ri., Koi Kurage, Vanilla Salt, Orange, and Root HappyEnd.

The best songs are PreParade, silky heart, I MY, Yes!, Vanilla Salt, and Orange.

Jude Cole, one of the greatest wordsmiths of our generation. Buy his first release up to<br />his latest release, "In Plain Sight". It tells a story a la, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Now I just have to look for his tour dates...!!!


title: Ohhhhh Myyyyyyy, OOOOOO

text: My best friend and I were roommates the first semester of our freshman year in college.  The soothing sounds of this album kept us going during finals that year.  She married, moved out with her album and I have spent the the last 56 years looking for a copy.  It was great music then and the album has as many groans and squeeks as I do - but I found it through Amazon -- smile.


I had this demo in 2001, and had since lost it. After over a decade of random internet searches I found it again. This is a band I was sad to see did not pursue further endeavors. Hard, heavy, industrial. Even now, still great music


title: This is a very good cd. Thank You.

And I paid six bucks for it not twenty.  There is a chance it could be different item, but it looks exactly like the one I bought and has the same specs.  You can use it as a night light though. Just FYI.

title: Slavic Rap.  But you do not need to understand Polish to understand it.  It is fun.

text: Slavic Rap.  Good Beat,  Good Lyrical transitions,  wonderful rhythms.  Better messages than current common rap music coming out of the U.S.  The use of old Northern European Instruments which are incorporated in the sound track capture the feeling of what I think the original Skaldic versus would have been told.  My studies have enabled me to formulate the opinion that the original tone poem would have been used to tell the tales of the Northern European culture in the first and second Century A.D.  I think that this music captures that.  Even if I do not fully understand Polish or Polska,  I am getting a pretty good feeling of the music.  I am not a fan of inner city music that glorify civil disobedience and the drug culture that is prevalent in the U.S.  but I like the rhythm.  This provides that without that message.

text: It energizes me every time.


title: GLOSSY "INTERESTING' PICTURES AND A LOT OF GOOD MUSIC

text:
This is a terrific collection of rockabilly. I have a lot of rockabilly CDs and I love this type of music, so maybe that qualifies me to know about this subject. So many great songs, mostly by musicians I never heard of. A few, are familiar (Link Wray, for example) but the songs they do or the song versions are not familiar.

There are some Elvis and Jerry Lee imitators, and I guess you have to expect that; I'm not complaining. At the same time there are some real oddball or old style slang or unique tunes. Then there are some songs that are just fair rockabilly but the guitar kicks in and knocks you back on your hindquarters (Amazon frowns on funky language, so I have to say "hindquarters").  This is the kind of of music that you'd hear in a 1950's white roadhouse. You'd enjoy the music until you had too many beers and started worrying how you were going to get out of the place without getting you a good whopping by the customers.

Then we come to the packaging, and I ask you to stop and read these words: The booklet, box cover and CD envelopes have pictures of some realllll funky porn photos from, probably, the 1950's. Not suitable for "sensitive" or kids eyes.  Look at the reproduction of the box cover that Amazon.com uses, and note that they got a big old black block covering up part of the body of the lovely lady in the picture. They did leave a bit of a tassel flying up in the air.  The women and men in these photos are not your airbrushed, pristine Playboy/Bettie Page people with perfect bodies. These are some real people who, for one reason or another, didn't mind having their picture took while they were unclothed and getting all smoochy with other people. I suspect that some of them were "sex workers" or "exotic dancers" or "models" as we call them today. I enjoyed the photos for the sociological study of 50's mores and for the shockingly erotic aspects. Oh, baby. I got some good laughs and good shocks over some of the poses. You won't be leaving this box set out on the coffee table when your granny is visiting.

Also on the packaging: the booklet and CD covers don't contain any info except the song titles and the musicians names. The outside box is glossy and sturdy but the 10 CD covers are printed on lightweight glossy paper and are contained in a single stack in a cardboard sort of carton inside the box. It's a bit fragile, so I had to be careful with the packaging while I was playing the discs. I kept the flimsy individual CD covers in a ziplock bag when I was playing the discs and I made sure that I didn't handle the big box too much.

So what you got here is a huge, enjoyable collection of rockabilly songs that you probably have never heard. You got you some very "interesting" graphics on the packaging. You got fragile CD envelopes. You got sound quality that's pretty good considering the sources. You don't got any information on the songs and musicians.  It's from Bear Family so you know it's good.


title: GREAT LITTLE COMPILATION

text:
Terrific compilation.

I believe that this CD and the MARGARITA MUSIC CD are issued by the El Paso Chile Company as part of kits. You get non-alcoholic ingredients and a recipe for a Cosmo (Cosmopolitian) and a Margarita and a CD of music to listen to while you swill your cocktail.  So what?  Good comment.

Here you get this great little compilation full of surprises, and you can guzzle booze without the restriction of a recipe.

The attached photo lists the songs. It's the best image I could do right now (my scanner is down)

title: Made me feel great!!

text: I don't know how he does it, but Mark Grant made me feel as if I was literally being lifted up by his words. When I listened to each track on the Calm and Confident CD, it made me feel great. My whole body felt alive and tingly. I was relaxed, and it felt like the issue I was struggling with was going to be ok. I felt more prepared to handle it. As a mental health counselor, I am usually the one helping others. When I listen to Mark Grant's CD's I feel cared for by him, as if he is personally invested in my well-being. His Calm & Confident CD buoyed my mind, body, and spirit. I will recommend this CD to clients, friends, family members, and my colleagues (who definitely need a boost during this difficult time in history).


title: Last time around for the old bluesy Animals is a good one!

text: This is a great copy of a lost Animals LP from late 1966.  The original LP came just after "See See Rider" hit the charts in fall 1966.  It was recorded by the main group: Chas, Hilton, Erik and Dave with Barry Jenkins replacing John Steele on drums.  If you enjoyed the old Animals from 1964-1966 this was the last chance to hear them.  Included are live bonus tracks from fall 1966 and early 1967.  There you can see the transition from the old blues based Animals to the more pop and psychedelic based Eric Burdon and the (new) Animals.


title: Rare Soundtrack

text: You get two soundtracks to a couple of the most rarely heard music scores of sci-fi films.


title: Perfect!

text: I am old and love the old time hymns of my youth.  This fits the bill and is a frequent background as I am driving.


title: Divinely inspired sessions by the best talent of the era.

text: I bought this on vinyl, as "Mountain In The Clouds", in 1973, and it's been my favorite album since.  Vitous inspired these musicians better than even Miles Davis ever did, but it never happened again.  This  is a "must have" for any collection of Jazz from that era.  God  bless amazon.com for ending my "Infinite Search" to replace my  vinyl copy - I'm now a happy man.


title: Great music

text: Replacement for vinyl.  Liked it as vinyl and now have a low damage way to listen


title: Excellent

text: it is a very good album.  Too bad he is no longer with us.

title: Lively

text: Not quite what I expected. The music is good but<br />most of it, you can't roller skate to.


title: Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2

text: A memorable, robust symphony showcasing Sergei Rachmaninoff’s creative skills in bringing about a great symphonic display.  Yet the maestro’s tone and style is distinctly Rachmaninoff’s.  It is quite revealing to explore the depths of this composer’s Late Romantic works.


title: Favorites

text: Some of my favorite music.  I already had these CDs (plus most of the Creedence regular CDs) and bought these additional copies for a son as a gift that he had requested.  If you don't want to get all of the Creedence CDs, these are a good place to start.


title: Not as good as the first

text: This is good, but a little repetitive.  The first album was fantastic and remains a favorite. I love this kind of mixture of electronic and jazz.

title: A wasted chance to make a great recording.

text:
I avoided this set for a long time because of it's evil reputation as a vanity project for You Know Who. However, I have been conducting a survey of performances of Verdi's Requiem, hoping to make a list of the top five and since I was so impressed by Renee Fleming in a live performance with Antonio Pappano at the baton, I decided to bite the bullet and try to keep an open mind.

My opinions will pretty much echo those of the majority on this board; even some of the five star reviewers recognize the flaws. There are some rich and rewarding aspects but what makes the set sink as a whole is that the Phillips company mixed great artists with mediocre ones.

As soon as I heard Andrea Bocelli, I said to myself "Why, why, why?" Once in a while, his phrasing sounds smooth and sensitive, but the overall quality of his voice is tight and strained and there are places throughout where it feels like he's barely making it. Plus, there are catches and scoops in his voice that sound more suited to pop than classical. If this was the best the conductor got out of him, I can't imagine what was left on the cutting floor.

Ildebrando d'Arcangelo has a fine voice but his singing tends to lack energy, or rather, I don't feel the forcefulness and command necessary to capture the apocalyptic essence of "Mors stupebit" and "Confutatis maledictis." He may be good at Mozart, Baroque and French art song, but Verdi is simply out of his depth. Too bad they didn't use Rene Pape or John Tomlinson. Like another reviewer suggested, he was probably chosen to compliment Bocelli because of the lyric nature of his voice; a dramatic baritone would have blown him away.

The real stars are the two ladies. Olga Borodina's voice is rich and even in all registers and her duets with Renee Fleming are a sheer joy to hear.

As good as Leontyne Price is, I feel more complex emotions with Renee Fleming’s interpretation of Libera me, such as fear, anguish, sorrow, peace and reverence. I love how she half-shouts, half-gasps, half-sobs the recitatives in the beginning and end because it sounds like she really is begging God to spare her from the judgement day. Every “tremens factus” sounds a little bit different for depth and complexity. Her voice is luscious and creamy from top to bottom and her pianissimos in the a capella movement are simply out of this world.

It’s often said there are two basic ways to interpret the Requiem--an oratorio or an opera. Valery Gergiev feels the pull of the more operatic aspects and rightfully so, given the various different characters of each movement. He pays attention to every little detail and layer of the score so each part of the orchestra has a chance to shine and he doesn’t just give you a beautiful interpretation; he grabs you by the throat and never lets go. The Dies Irae is one of the best I have ever heard--I especially loved the echoing kettledrums and the ‘gasping’ speaking parts in the choir. And he balances out the fire and brimstone so well with the brisk, cheerful tempo for Sanctus and the reverent, melancholy Agnus Dei. I also love how he speeds up the last movement of Libera me, instead of making it sound like a dirge, to give the Requiem something more exciting and dramatic to end on.

So all in all, this recording is not a ideal reference but not a total waste either. I will still return to it for the positive aspects like the Recordare, Agnus Dei and Libera me. As for Ingemisco--well, I always know how to hit fast forward.


title: Exquisite voice

text:
Inga Swenson is one of those classically trained actors with a strong compelling presence you never forget. I have seen her in only two films, Advise and Consent and The Miracle Worker but they are such a legacy to remember her by. She plays her characters with integrity, conviction and a strong sense of devotion to her families. Her love for her daughter Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker is so strong and the scene in Advise and Consent where she hugs her husband and says she’ll never leave him no matter what he’s done still gives me the shivers.

She also has a sweet, delicate singing voice, which bears a passing resemblance to Julie Andrews, only with a thicker and mellower tone. I had heard the 110 in the Shade and Baker Street recordings and was so thrilled, I had to hear her solo album, I’m Old Fashioned as well. Unfortunately, it was a bit underwhelming since most of the songs were slow and syrupy but her singing is fresh and vibrant as always.

The best tracks are “When I fall in Love”  “All the Things you are”  and "A Ship Without a Sail" where she caresses every phrase lovingly and carefully and glides smoothly to the high notes.  The pianist chords softly and gently to the melody in "A Ship Without a Sail" and the result is absolutely gorgeous.

Overall, this is a good album and I enjoyed it, just not up to the point of rapture.

Four Stars.


title: Great DVD

text: One of the best DVD's I have purchased. This group of women are fantastic. Couldn't  buy a better DVD.  You can't  go wrong buying this for your collection.  And better yet, it contains a DVD of the live show and a CD of the shows songs. What more could you want.


title: Great Celtic Music

text: If you like Celtic music you will like this album. As it says on the cover, "New original music inspired by the eternal celtic tradition".

title: PLEASED BUT DISAPOINTED

text: I BOUGHT THIS A WHILE BACK,AND WHILE HORTON DID NOT LEAVE A WHOLE LOT OF RECORDINGS WHEN HE DIED IN 1960,I CONSIDER THIS HIS BEST RECORDING.


title: Awesome music!!

text: Although not an album of original material, this is loaded with great music.  Along with their self-titled first album, "Vermillion", "Better Day" and their last released CD (as of this date) "Drifted....." you just can't go wrong!!


title: One of the Cowsills' best!!

text: A couple of things to recommend this: one the fact is that it happens to be one of the best songs ever recorded by the Cowsills.  Two: it has been mentioned by some (Paul Cowsill among them) that it was the first 45 single in stereo.  Paul didn't actually officially join the band until after it was recorded and is actually first heard on the band's next single, "Indian Lake".  Nevertheless, I would think he would know  And the stereo sound of both sides is wonderful.  The flip of this is another favorite: "Mister Flynn".  Both sides were co-written by Bill and Bob Cowsill with Barry C. also contributing on "...Flynn".


title: Very nice early piece of pop confection from Bill, Bob, Barry and John Cowsill

text: This single by the Cowsills bubbled under the hot 100 in 1966 for a couple of weeks.  Why it didn't become a hit, I'll never know.  Note: if you're lucky enough to find this with it's original picture sleeve, the signitures of Barry and John are reversed.  It was the way it was printed.  I think it adds to the value, actually.


title: Great first single from the Cowsills!

text: Both sides of this first single released by the first family of Rock/Pop are extremely catchy.  The 'A' side was actually "All I Wanta Be Is Me" but either should have been hits.  Had the record been released on an established label with marketing expertise and experience it might have been a hit.  The garage rock sound is really what the original core four (Billy, Bob, Barry & John) was into at the time and they make a great showing.  Both sides written by Bill and Bob who already were obviously showing great songwriting talents.  If you get a chance buy this single.


title: A fantastic live fitting tribute!!!

text: Absolutely brilliant live recording from the first family of Pop/Rock!!  And what a wonderful tribute to the man who really began it all.  It was Bill who first learned guitar which inspired Bob.  Then together they formed an Everly Brothers like duo and caused quite a bit of a local sensation.  Soon Barry, then John joined right about the time the Beatles were causing their first major international sensation, and the four boys truly rocked.  A couple of recording contracts came and went, but the great music never stopped.  It took the addition of Barbara (their mini-mom mother) and  Susan to make it true family affair and a commercial success.  Shortly thereafter Paul joined and the sound they created was glorious!!  Although they could always do all genres of music, it was their rock roots that truly shine.  You listen to the band today and they are better than ever and this CD is testament to that.  Susan rocks right along with Bob and Paul and company.  John is the Beach Boys drummer/vocalist and appears with his family whenever possible.  His drumming and vocals are superb and most evident here.  This CD also provides us with one of the last remaining times that the superbly gifted Barry Cowsill performed with his brothers and sister before his untimely death due to Hurricane Katrina.  His "Goin' Home" is one of the highlights of this concert.  You even hear from the late Richard Cowsill, who, until the 2000 Taste of Rhode Island reunion concerts, never got the chance to perform with his supremely talented siblings.  Whatever the configuration, the Cowsills are among the most talented musicians to ever walk into a studio or onto a stage and if you think they are nothing more than a limited band with a few top 40 hits, you need to get this CD!!!  They are awesome!!  And somewhere the man that started it all is smiling!!!


title: Appears to be fake reviews

text: 242 reviews since March 17, 2019.  It is March 21 as I write this.  What a waste of time, for me.  I don't have the product and won't buy it due to these suspicious reviews.


title: Great voice!

text: Boris...what more can I say!


title: very beautiful snging and good songs

text: It is not what I expected, but it grows on me with repeated playing. I sort of prefer the first album, which I think of as having more folk songs. Here the sound seems a bit homogenous, but it is starting to sound more diverse as I play it over. It is elegant, restful, and sophisticated and has good backups. Perhaps she could move back a bit more to the Irish Celtic folk direction. Perhaps a bit more of Kate Rusby or Karen Matheson in folk mode. But I still am glad I bought this cd.


title: excellent solo piano recording

text: I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short piano pieces. The date is 2003, and it was recorded in Minneapolis  There is a nicely illustrated booklet with information on the pieces and the artist's story. The CD includes in all 20 works by Poulenc, Mendelssohn, Bach, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin and Toch. There make for agreeable and enjoyable listening. I am no judge of technique and cannot compare the performances with other pianists. It seems that the pianist began early but gave up playing for many years before beginning again. This seems to be her only CD listed in Amazon. For me, this is at least as enjoyable as CDs by many well-known pianists. So I can very well recommend it.


title: Disappointing

text:
While I love and appreciate Donna Summer as an artist (as well as the opinions of those who agree), let's focus on this particular release, instead of the merits of Donna's accomplishments, which by this point, have been firmly well established.

As a "greatest hits" collection, this package offers nothing new and is riddled with problems:

1) As some others have mentioned, this compilation is far from complete. There's just too much missing here, even if you excuse the omission of Donna's work for labels other than Universal.

2) This set has supposedly been remastered... Really? Either that's a completely false statement or the individual responsible needs to find another line of work. For evidence of this, just listen to the opening of "Dim All the Lights" or worse yet, the Patrick Cowley remix of "I Feel Love". I could have done a better job using GarageBand!

3) Errors: Just one example, but there are others as well. How about "Heaven(s) Knows" as one of the listed songs; incorrectly mentioned both on the back of the case and in the accompanying booklet. Then there's "Sunset People" and "Our Love" offered up on Disc 2 and presented under "12-inch and Extended Mixes", neither of which is true. These are the same two album versions we've been listening to since 1979.

4) And finally, the included photos are [again], nothing new and of very poor quality, with the front cover being the sole exception.

On the positive side, this release does offer a nice cover-shot of Donna, along with the very difficult to find original single versions of "Rumour Has It" and "Unconditional Love"; nearly impossible to find anywhere else on CD. But aside from that, there's not much more here that hasn't already been presented numerous times before, and in a nicer array of configurations.

With so much of Summer's material left untapped, especially on CD, this becomes just another attempt to cash-in on her success with very little time and money invested in the delivered product. How 'bout a singles box containing all of Donna's hits and hard-to-find B-sides? Or the original 12" dance remixes from the 1980s; "Love Is In Control", She Works Hard for the Money", "Unconditional Love", "Dinner with Gershwin", and "This Time I Know It's for Real", just to name a few.

Having said that, as a die-hard Summer fan, I purchased this set knowing full well the limitations of its content, but I never expected such a sloppy job in the overall presentation. I do realize this is a budget release, but it's always a disappointment when yet another opportunity to "get it right" falls far short of one's expectations.

Enter at your own risk...

title: Happy Girl

text: My daughter loved this record.


title: Fantastic Selections!!

text: I ordered this collection for only one song; but was pleasantly surprised with the remaining ones. I reccomend this collection to anyone who remembers what romance songs were like in the 50s & 60s. I was born in the early 50s but still remember songs I used to enjoy listening on my AM radio, growing up in New York. If you remember those great oldie tunes as I do, you won't be disappointed with the selections chosen. Just put your feet up and relax while you listen and remember what love was seen as, as well as how songs were heard as.


Been waiting patiently, while in search for this favorite album to be released on CD. I used to listen to this album so much on my stereo, the grooves on my vinyl record started to hiss because of excessive playing. This recording (in my opinion) was the Who's finest. If you've never experienced hearing this entire Opera, I think you'd be pleasantly rewarded when finished.


title: Great tunes except...

text: The entire CD was produced in MIDI format. Yuck. I have never like the sound of anything produced in MIDI. Had I known that it was, I would never have purchased it.


title: Interesting material/Poor Sound Quality

text: I love the fact that the material is not the same re-hash that RCA has recycled forever.  This release from the Mac/Eddy fan club is interesting due to the content.  Sadly, the sound quality is almost unlistenable and is reserved for the dyed-in-the-wool fans that don't care how bad it sounds, they just crave anything "new" by Miss MacDonald.  Several of the Mac/Eddy releases are of good quality and the material on them is worth a listen, but this one, sadly doesn't make the cut.


title: Beautiful sound. Good service

text: Pristine. Beautiful sound.  Good service. Thanks.


title: Needs to be ReReleased

text: As a fan of Ms McClowry's for the last tweleve years, this CD with her performance partner, Thomas Linsk at the Redhead Piano Bar in Chicago, I love this album. What is most impressive about Lisa is the use of her four octave range. Especially on the tracks, I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables and All I Ask from Phantom of the Opera. Clearly, Mr. Linsk is equally a talented artist. While Ms.McClowry does not want to be defined and associated as a performer of one type of music, she is very comfortable with Jazz.She can scat with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn. Hopefully, with her current mentor, Jim Peterik and new management team consisting of Mr.Michael Tozzi and Mr.Sam Melendez they will open discussions to do so. I bought my copy from an Amazon Seller, Bear Books and it was in excellent condition. I think fans of Lisa's and Thomas will want to add this CD to their collection.


title: Studio sound and fantastic band!

text: Fantastic Marching Band CD!  This was recorded in an actual recording studio and has that pure professional sound.


title: Ukulele at it's best....

text: Too Funny...


title: Andre' Rieu

text:
Andre' Rieu concerts are so relaxing to me,
he has a special talent and his orchestra does
too. I had never enjoyed classical music till I
saw my first  Andre' Rieu concert. I have over
a dozen of his DVD's.

title: Do not buy

text: Do not buy this British pressing.  The recording of the violins is piercing.<br />Get the original German pressing If you can.  With this British pressing you will HAVE TO turn the treble down or else your ears will bust.


title: Toccata and Fuge by J.S.Bach

text: I used to have the LP and am happy to now have the Toccata and Fuge by Bach on CD.  It had never been republished on any other CD compilations.  Neither is it on the Bach/Last-CD, nor is it included in the 3-DVD-Set "Classics".  My wife thinks if Bach would hear Last's version of his work he would slap him in the face.  Well, that's how different tastes can be.  I love the original if it is played well - and I love James Last's version.


title: Best of the best of Rios

text:
Great digitalized sound of the best titles of Rios:

"Sinfonias", "Sinfonias 2", "Operas" and "Mozartmania".

All in their original glory - and better!

Waiting to see (and hear) a Vol. 2 set!

text: Toni Tennille, is super great he music spans form music of a past era. She has been a favorite singer of mine and always will. I' happy to have found her CD on Amazon for price and for great music.


title: A sought after singer

text: Jack Jones is a stellar performer and his CD is second to none.


title: A Nice Collection

text: Music on Vinyl usually does a great job and this is no exception. But, this and most other collections miss one important recording, "High Hopes", from his movie "A Hole In The Head". If someone wanted to add a bonus track, they could include the re-recording Frank did for President Kennedy's campaign. With Frank on your side, who could miss!


title: HORRIBLE DISTORTED SOUND QUALITY-- BEWARE!

text: The sound quality of this CD set is horrible. Very distorted. It's not the reason for the distortion, but it sounds like they may have used records as their source. I'm very disappointed. A must to avoid!


title: Excellent! Finally a chance to buy this without having to make a huge PBS donation!

text: Yes. This is the real thing, the original single versions, finally. Previous collections have been remixed and remastered by Richard Carpenter and only bear a slight resemblance to the original single versions. This is the Rolls-Royce of Carpenters CD's.<br />As a word of warning, the versions here are not what you necessarily heard on the radio. There were special radio station versions. However, if you bought the original 45's at a store when they first came out, these are what you will hear on this CD set. The labels on the CD's correspond to what the original 45 rpm labels looked like.


title: Excellent set!

text: Excellent set!

title: Boring

text: Very boring. I guess I am missing something. Nice sweater


title: Funky funk

text: I saw some of the members of the Meters play a couple times in the 90s and never forgot what a great show they put on. Solid musicians and a fan ever since. This is a great set and for the price who can complain!! Was looking for a couple of the cds I do not have. Saw this and snatched it up immediately! I still buy cds because I have yet to find a streaming service that has a third of the stuff I want to listen to, or they list an album but only give you half the songs. That won’t fly!! All and yes all the Meters albums plus singles at a great price. Love it! Funk on my friends.

text: excelente


title: This may be the only review, so read it :)

text:
My friend and I had bought a demo tape back in 90's while waiting on line at Roseland in NYC (waiting to see Megadeth). The band was called Suiciety. Anyway, the songs really rocked, and years latter when I went searching for the band (because I no longer had a tape deck to play the demo). Well, the band changed their name when I rediscovered them, but the songs still rock! Good old fashion metal.

I wish I knew more about the band, but I don't. Buying this CD brought back a lot of memories of that time.

title: BTS is amazing! But the condition of the item? Not so much.

text:
The album, book, and other items were in good condition. The product itself is amazing. BTS is a band worth trying out not only for their beautiful music, but the artisticness in writing as well. However, the poster that came with it is crinkled and torn in places. This upsets me greatly, as of the three Love Yourself album posters, I was really looking forward to this one.

BTS gets a 5 out of 5 from me, but the condition it came it gets no more than a 3.


title: ... I've not listened to it but he said it's AWESOME! The sound effects are fantastic

text: It was a gift for my son so I've not listened to it but he said it's AWESOME!  The sound effects are fantastic!


title: True Easter

text: Language aside, I was very interested in the blends of music and chorus. There seems to be a quality that I have never heard or have ignored in my own language that comes out while I listen to this music. The music stirs, it has a way of bringing out messages that seem heart felt. I enjoy this album and recommend it highly.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent


title: Four Stars

title: The Polka Family

text: Polka Family has been a favorite of mine for at least 20 years, and they're still going strong. I own all their Polka CD's and they are all very enjoyable. I love playing them while on auto trips...I feel that their music keeps me alert and entertained, especially on long drives.


title: McShann's Piano

text:
It was 1966 when Capitol released this album to the world, this glorious two sided piece of piano artistry by, up to that point, a forgotten Jay McShann.  McShann had led a very active Kansas City band back in the pre World War II 1940s.

During that same time another band of some note, led by a fella named Count Basie was also in town, but no more popular than McShann's band.  However the end of the War saw Basie put his band back together, while McShann struggled on in relative obscurity for the next twenty years.

A member of that McShann band by the way, went on to a nice solo career for himself.  You may have heard of Mr. Charlie Parker?  Without Parker and his band, McShann finally was given an album shot and "Hootie" didn't miss scoring big time.

McShann's Piano is sparse - "Hootie" plays his piano with only percussion and string bass accompaniment.  Oh yes, he does break out in song and other vocalizations from time to time as well when the spirit moves him.  And it apparently moves him quite a bit!

My God but how he plays on this album.  It resuscitated his career and as we now know, he became a legend in his own time for the next thirty years.  Every song on this album is a gem.  So what's not to like?

Unfortunately the powers that be at Capitol records have never released the album in either cassette or CD form?  Memo to somebody with pull at Capitol or whomever owns the rights to the album today - produce this into digital!  I'm still waiting!

title: Brilliant adaptation of Skvorecky's "The Bass Saxophone"

text:
The highlight on this album is Marsh's brilliant use of an excerpt from Skvorecky's wonderful novella as the backbone of "Rules Are Made to Be Broken." Skvorecky, who fled Czechoslavakia after the 1969 invasion, writes about the fate of jazz musicians under the genocidal Nazi occupation, and then again under the Communist regime:
"There was even a swing band in the notorious Buchenwald, made up for the most part of Czech and French prisoners. And since those were not only cruel but also absurd times, people were put behind barbed wire because of the very music that was played inside ... "
Marsh's tribute is a searing, unforgettable memoir of art and repression.


title: This is a great collection of songs byJohnny Mathis and the late Henry ...

text: This is a great collection of songs byJohnny Mathis and the late Henry Mancini. they have worked together on several occasions. Henry Mancini is one several conductor's Johnny Mathis has worked with in his long career. They have also performed a medley of Mancini's songs on a TV show that included songs like Two For The Road, Charade, Moon River and Dear Heart. This is a great album of songs from major Hollywood Musicals, which you may have seen or at least know the music. Some of the songs are You Stepped Out Of A Dream, Taking A Chance On Love, When You Wish Upon A Stare, It Might As Well Be Spring, Long Ago andFar Away and Moonlight Becomes You and But Beautiful., As their titles suggest, these are romantic songs. these are also very good songs to dance to in the fashion way. whatever you do with this music, this is an album that will fill your life with pleasure for a long time, and worth more than what it cost. Richard Shaw is the author of Lady Gaga, Natalie Cole and Wendy Sayvetz, Judy Collins and Joan Baez - the beauty of folk music. Audible.Com and Kindle.


I love Dionne Warwick as well as this album.This is a wonderful change from her signature songs, being a collection of smooth jazz songs, that she executes with loving care. I love all these songs because of what they say about life and love.This is a collection of songs about love by an adult who has a lot of wisdom about life and love. Some of the songs are slow and others are up tempo, but all are delightful to listen to and think about. I like the title song because it is about letting your emotions guide your romantic interest. If You Can Dream is a song that reminds me of Dinah Washington, who was a popular jazz singer during the 1940's through the 1960's, and is about enjoying your romantic dreams.I like a Pocket Full Of Miracles is about creating your own romatic vision of life.The song The Second Time Around has ben sung by Frank Sinatra and Shirley Bassey and it packed with wisdom about love and life. I love the line "lov like youth is wasted on the young". This is something adults understand about love and young people may learn when they are older. Richars Shaw is the author of Wendy Sayvetz, Judy Collins and Joan Baez and Music Education In The Scools. Audible.Com.


This is a great tribute to a great singer by another great singer. George Benson also has a tribute to Nat King Cole. The difference between these two tributes, is that Johnny Mathis sings some of Nat King Cole's songs in his own style, while George Benson attempts to sound like Nat King Cole. He does an excellent job. But as a long fan of Cole's I can tell the difference.
Johnny Mathis provides some information about how Nat King Cole developed from a jazz singer to a crossover popular singer. this transition was made from the late 1930's when he started to the mid 1960's until his death. Nat King Cole's music was highly romantic, mellow and intimate, and he made you feel he was singing just for you.
  Johnny Mathis some of Cole's top songs, including Mon Lisa, Route 66, Too Young, Walking May Baby Back Home, Nature Boy and others. During the concert Johnny Mathis is joined by daughter Natalie Cole, another great singer. They are perfectly matched, and their duet alone is worth buying this album.

title: Muy buena segunda compilacion

text: Tenia grandes expectativas con esta coleccion. Mis expectativas se cumplieron en su totalidad. Aqui se muestra un Raphael mas maduro, artisticamente hablando. En pleno dominio de sus facultades interpretativas. En especial los CD Algo Mas y Volvere a Nacer son mis favoritos por lo variado de su contenido.  En resumen es<br />un excelente complemento del Volumen I.


title: Los inicios de una Diva

text: Es una excelente colección de temas de los inicios, al menos en España, de una de las mejores cantantes de habla hispana. Algunas de las canciones en la colección eran desconocidas para mi, pero todas tienen el sello de esta incom-parable intérprete chilena. Lo recomiendo sin reservas a todo el que conozca a Monna Bell y a quienes no han tenido aún la dicha de escuchar a una cantante con mayúsculas.


title: Album was Damaged.

text: I didnt expect the album to come in damaged, almost as if it were used before. I tried capturing in the pictures how the sides were peeling off and it (the cover, and booklet) was scratched both inside and out. The bonus to buying it was i got all 4 doublesided photocards to 2NE1 I LOVE YOU era. Overall im not too satisfied with this purchase and i do not recommend.

title: FEEL THE REALNESS!  (When is Columbia gonna give us MORE Neverending Tour Stuff???)

text:
I'm just gonna go ahead and drop the five stars on this one... if you are new to school, or have never experienced live Bob Dylan before, this is a great introduction, released by Sony/Columbia special products.  There is another imported one that came out a year or two after this one called '39 Years of Live Performances'...  Both are one disc career spanniing up to about the end of the 20th century.

Dylan fanatics realize that there is more than just the 1960's version of Bob Dylan, he has undergone many phases in his musical career...  so important to pay attention to 'career spanning'... there are endless legit live recordings from the sixties and seventies. Even a few from the eighties and nineties... HOWEVER... still nothing of proper collection from the golden period years 1998-the present (2014...beyond)  SO, peeps like us have been scrapping the ends off of collections such as this, which contain one or two 'Neverending Tour' recordings.  Between this and '39 years...' there is a handful, plus a couple more if you grab Tell Tale Signs (which is an excellent collection of Autumn years material...)  But I still want more!

Where there are actually some duplicates between albums here; 'SHELTER FROM THE STORM' on this bit, culled directly from the album 'Hard Rain' (in it's own right a killer live disc!) is also on '39 Years' (thats THREE different albums) ...in place maybe there could be something that we have not yet had properly released by Columbia. (*I happen to recall this amazing version of 115th Dream from 1988 that is virtually impossible to find....just sayin'.... or a 1999 version of Sweet Marie, 2002 Thin Man, 2004 Wicked Messenger etc etc.) P.S> I encourage any one reading this review to add suggestions to my comment list, for top shelf live Bob Dylan cuts... (example; 11/13/02 Carrying the Torch)

Bottom line is THIS.... There are SO many excellent live Dylan recordings that Columbia hasn't even scratched the surface yet. It may behoove the new comer to pace yourself through various live albums one era at a time. Perhaps by the time you catch up, there will be a solid collection of all post millenium stuff!  On the other hand though, if you only have room in the car stereo for one live album; it's always nice to have a bit of a selection- this bit will not dissapoint.... Dylan Live is Dylan Real!


title: YOU"LL BE SHAWKED!

text:
It always bothers me that Jefferson Airplane continues to go down in history like it does, as one of the strong sixties rock bands. They should be disregarded as a one hit wonder, who were only ever popular because Grace Slick was hot and she sang a song or two. The band was a bunch of nerds with egos far bigger then their worth. Listen to any record any of them made post 1967.

The bands polar cousin I'd say though would have to be the virtually unknown SHOCKING BLUE. Here the girl, Mariska Veres, is just as sexy, but unlike the bogus Jefferson A-Holes, Blue rocked like effin crazy. Whether they were churning out Tennesee Three inspired country, psychedelic pop, or crazy love ballads, it was hard driving and satisfying for the rock soul. Unfortunately the band is Dutch and therefore extremely difficult to dig up. And its harder especially to dig up various gems in one place...  this 2 disc does a good job at it.

Do a bit of homework and check out some of these tracks; DEAMON LOVER, SHADOWS, SEND ME A POSTCARD, DEVIL AND THE ANGEL, LOVE BUZZ and of course VENUS.  Check out as many as you can get your ears on... This band rocks harder from the late sixties then many bands that came after. SRSLY!

title: Callas Great, Others Good, But Not Outstanding....Poor Sound!

text:
I have the Arkadia disk of this performance so my opinion of the sound might not be accurate for this version. The sound on my disks is kind of tubby sounding with lots of intermittent background noise; I can't tell if it from the recording source, AM radio or radio interference.

Callas' performance and the conducting of Barbirolli is magnificent. Simionato hardly less so. The others good, but not outstanding.
Callas' EMI La Scala recording has much better sound, but she is not quite as good in the studio.

Get a modern recording and keep this as a memento of a great artist and how the title role dhould be sung.


title: Beautiful but shy

text: The Bertoncini/Moore pairing has obviously had amazing legs, enduring three decades.  This was their first recorded collaboration, and has the traits that such an early effort usually has when it leads to more: great thoughtfulness, startling moments of synchronicity between Bertoncini's guitar and Moore's bass, pellucid interpretations...and a certain measure of caution.  Whether their material is classical (the Bach is sober and lovely) or traditional Tin Pan Alley, or bossa nova like "Insensatez"--the latter a particular sound they've developed together subsequently--it's satisfying, but more so if one hears it one cut at a time, a la iPod-in-shuffle-mode, than uninterrupted.  One can wish this recording had been remastered and rereleased on CD; but the melancholy and meditative tone of these cuts may be perfectly suited to the pops and cracks of the aging LP.


title: Agreed! NOT enough details listed.

text: Yeah, I too bought the cd thinking it was a full album. There definitley needs to be more info included. I'm still giving it a 5 star because I am in love with the track.


title: I missed my favorite CD and am very glad to be dancing to ...

text: My original Misubishi Mix CD has been stuck in my broken car player for about 2 years!  I missed my favorite CD and am very glad to be dancing to those songs again.  Received in original packaging and very quickly as promissed.


title: Wonderful

text: I have a copy of this record from when I was a little girl.  It was one of my favorite records.  The story, which is adorable, is told and sung by Ireene Wicker.  On the reverse side is a recording of Tchaikovsky's Humoresque.


title: A unique perspective on the Dead

text: Early on in the career the Dead popped in to a club south of San Francisco, headlining either as the Grateful Dead or some other band.  This show -- and it is a club show, not a concert -- offers a glimpse into a relaxed, "let's see what comes" band. Pigpen is no featured early on, but 3/4 of the way through Garcia brings him on and, performing solo with just a guitar, we see Pigpen wail the blues.  The entire show is worth it, but this unique window into the music of Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, alone and unadorned, is worth the price of admission.


title: All time favorite!

text: Great 2 disc CD. So many fun scripture verses set to music so they are easier to recall them. The kids love them!


title: Nice for pre-school and kindergarteners

text: Solidifying rhythmic concepts is vital to early learners' music success.  This recording offers opportunities to experience and play along with the beat.  In my piano studio, we use our sticks and/or march with the many musical examples here.  Appropriate pitch and singing for little ones-- fascinating works!  Such fun!


title: Volume problems

text: Perhaps my copy was faulty: the choice of sound is a) being blasted out from time to time because the volume is up enough to hear the quiet bits or b) avoiding the ear drum bursting by giving up altogether on hearing the quiet bits.

title: Great album but clean version
