title: Any day of the week, and twice again on Sunday

text:
A little tape hiss you can only really hear through the headphones aside, on the whole, this is the best performed set on Beethoven sonatas you're going to find.  Period.  I have two sets of the sonatas, and various recordings by different performers on competing labels.  For this set of "name sonatas," Brendel hands in traditional, dependable, and steady interpretations of these pieces to be enjoyed over and over again.  O'Connor, Gulda, and Bernard Roberts turn in performances that are more on the classical, Mozartean side of the scale - unadorned, without big acoustics.  On the other hand, Pollini, Schiff, and Uchida give us shock and awe, romantic interpretations of Beethoven that that lean toward the dramatic (Uchida's "Hammerklavier" is intoxicating).  This set by Brendel is in the perfect middle.  Bulls eye.  Nail on the head. The engineering in more close up than some of the others, but the level of echo and reverberation are darn near perfect.  His performance of the Pastoral Sonata is hypnotic, and his Moonlight Sonata, in my opinion (after many listenings and side-by-side comparisons, is the best recorded version on the market.  Schiff's faster version may be closer to what Beethoven intended according to his tempo markings, but I've gotten used to listening to a slower, more romantic interpretation of that piece.  The result - spine tingling intimacy. What one review calls 'wishy washy" I would call varying emotional intensity.

As far these CDs being just "short of the digtal age," I have an audiophile system, and these CDs sound great.  Well engineered and well recorded.  Sound stage and seperation is magnificent.  No drowning in 4 second delays and cathedral acoustics, thankfully, so what you hear is the piano and the performance.

No one performer can be all things to all listeners.  I have assembled an "all star cast" cycle, and the recordings I chose for the sonatas in question were Brendel's.  Listen to the previews and decide for yourself.  Plus, I picked this up for around three dollars, plus shipping.  It is, like some of the other reviewers say, a real bargain.  But that's not why I bought this set.  I bought it for the superb performances.  Highly recommend.


title: Cold Spring Harbour

text:
Cold Spring Harbour (or `Cold Spring Harbor' with the original US spelling) was Billy Joel's first solo album.  Although he had already released three albums with early bands, The Hassles and Attila, this is really the emergence of Billy Joel as songwriter/singer.  The accompanying music is quite sparse in places and Joel sings and plays beautifully.  However, when the album was originally mastered, the sound was somehow speeded up and Joel complained that he sounded like, "a chipmunk."  Although he did later record two of the songs live ("She's Got a Way," and "Everybody Loves you Now")  for "Songs in the Attic," it has never been one of his favourite albums and he often disparages it slightly in interviews.  It was originally released in 1971 and does have that early Seventies soft rock feel, with introspective lyrics.  There are none of the musicians on this that would later form part of Joel's better known band, but as a note of interest, Denny Seiwell (later in one of the incarnations of Wings) does drum on some tracks.  The album made it to number 158 in the US charts and fared slightly better in the UK, making it to number 95.  Obviously, the speeded up sound did not help and the entire album was re-mastered and released again in 1983.

This was obviously a difficult period for Joel himself.  The lyrics to one of the songs, "Tomorrow is Today," relate to a suicide note he wrote before attempting to take his life and many of the songs have a sense of loss or regret.  However, it is certainly not all bleak.  "Everybody Loves you Now," is not the most cheerful love song, but it certainly raises the pace of the album, as does, "Falling of the Rain,"  "She's Got a Way," is a beautiful ballad, "Nocturne," displays Joel's talent as a pianist and "Got to Begin Again," is a melancholy and tender song.  If you are interested in Billy Joel and have not heard his earliest work, I think you would be pleasantly surprised by this collection.

You Can Make Me Free

title: Billy Joel Live Greenvale NY 1977

text:
Over the years there have been many live Billy Joel albums, but mostly from huge stadium tours.  This is a chance to hear an earlier live concert, in a more intimate setting.  This concert was originally released as a radio broadcast in 1977, four months before the release of Joel’s classic album, “The Stranger.”  Now, this recording has been digitally remastered and the sound quality is excellent.  Although I have no real way of checking, this is supposed to include the entire broadcast and I have no reason to believe it doesn’t – I cannot find anything which suggests it is not presented here, exactly in the format in which it was broadcast.

Even though the extremely successful  album, “The Stranger” is not yet released at this point, Joel had plenty of successful material to draw on and takes songs from “Piano Man,” “Streetlife Serenade” and “Turnstiles,” as well as a request – “She’s Got A Way,” the opening track on his first album, “Cold Spring Harbor,” which he bemoans as being mixed too fast, so he sounds like a Chipmunk!  I love his early albums, so I was thrilled to hear this early concert.  Joel’s band sounds really tight and he sounds happy and enthusiastic; breaking into extended solos during, “Piano Man,” and “Travellin’ Prayer,” for example  This is an artist just reaching his heights, when huge commercial success is before him and he knows that he is about to release more great material shortly.

During this concert, he unveils two new songs; “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” and “Just the Way You Are,”  We also get to hear all the introductions, banter and chat that there was on the original broadcast – from Joel urging listeners to imagine a string arrangement on, “Just the Way You Are,” to complaining of the heat during the performance and apologising for having his back to some audience members.

This concert has been bootlegged over the years and it is great to hear it the complete concert with such great sound quality. A great addition to any Billy Joel’s fan collection.

title: Great Deal from Honest Seller

text: Totally satisfied with my new piece of Beatles history. Great Seller! Recommended.


title: Not the best

text: No better than any small town Friday night ensemble.


title: As Important as His 70s Music

text: This 60s Lps are ignored. And they'll probably continue to be up against Key of Life and Hotter than July. Shame. Part of that reason is that Motown frequently dumps, then repackages their 60s lps while they never do that with their 70s famed ones. Still highly recommended. Not concept albums about life and death, just great music!


title: Should be Better Known

text: Well worth hearing for all. Her most basic Atlantic hits only fans may be disappointed though. Although her voice is always soulful, this is not exactly "soul music" in the traditional later 60s definition. Jazz fans may be pleasantly surprised.


title: Competent Deutschmusik

text: Sehr gut! A few tunes are stronger than others.....but you can choose


title: Brief But Good

text: Not a perfect song selection, but well performed and in stereo. This is not a reuse of uncopyrighted 60s recordings but seems from the 90s. I wish l knew who "Wilhelm" was - if he's indeed the musician leader.


title: You Wont Be Disappointed

text: These should be regarded as classics of the crooner style. Underrated albums very difficult to find. Desmond was also a surprisingly good actor.


title: Satisfied Customer

text: Exactly what I wanted, excellent quality, prompt delivery.

title: Love the Oldies

text: What a great collection. I love these songs, I recognize most of them and great to sing along to.


title: Worth the money...not only for collectors or die-hard fans

text: Hey... 40+ years ... it is what it is. I owned all their 4 albums back then and was a big fan of their "sound". I've always enjoyed solid, unpretentious playing and these CD's sound as good today as the albums did back then - great to play them in the car or on my computer.


title: Great

text: My dad loves it the music is great and the dvd is awesome.


title: Awesome cd

text: Great


title: Good album

text: Probably the best album by Queensryche my original CD got messed up.


title: Love the song jealous of the angles

text: Cd in great shape sound really good , very pleased with it


title: Very goood  comdition!

text: Sounds great , enjoyed the music, brought back lots of good memories!


title: One of the finest Greek singers

text: This album sung by Nena Venetsanou with only piano accompaniment is one of the most wonderful albums by a Greek singer or any singer, for that matter. Nena has a stunningly beautiful voice. I in particular liked the collection of songs by Mikis Theodorakis with words by the great poet Yannis Ritso.


title: Great CD

text: I had this album back in 1971 when I was 15. Still so meaningful and great music. Brings me back to my 15 year old self.


title: Something you didn't know you needed, but you do.

text: This material will not appeal to everyone, but it is inventive, clever and often thoughtful, but always entertaining.  I spent a day with Ken Nordine and was a remarkable guy.  The stuff is good!


title: Five Stars

text: unbelievable , well worth it


title: Get moving!

text: Have just discovered this band after hearing their music on a movie soundtrack.  I love the feel of their music.  I would actually consider seeing them live in concert!


title: Could be so very good, but that one song

text: Really like this but it has a song of 'waste it all on you' in which I find the word 'waste' to be jarring and disturbing each time - Love the rest of it and would have loved that song if a more fitting word had been chosen.  Hence, I have an uncomfortability each time in listening to it.  Really a shame, it is great overall, and thus a loss to not listen to much because of this.


title: Comedic!

text: I had to try one. Then I had to try another. I mean, the guy named himself "Christopher LOVE"!  His intentions might be good, but the scripts are shallow, repetitive, and contain too many negative words. Creating affirmations 101: always use positives! The subconscious mind is unable to decipher negative statements and absorb only the intended meaning. The music is mediocre, at best. The echo-effect is annoying. His booming, theatrical vocals are absurd and not at all soothing. In fact, some of the statements and the manner in which he delivers them make me laugh out loud. For that, he earned one star!


title: Into the Wilderness

text: This record is like a cowboy comic book, telling the story of a guy who killed a man because he "had the right."  There's some old-time religion thrown in, as well as some medicine-show.  The album cover is listed in several collections as one of the top covers of all time.  The early seventies vibe might put you off, but it's a melodious joy, even now.  It's more fun than Gunsmoke reruns.


title: Red Roots

text: I just got this and cant wait to listen on my way to work.  I have heard some of their songs and they remind me of Deana Carter.  Found my new favorite group.  kathy


title: Good concert, bad editing.

text: Good sound, would have gotten a 5, except the track editing was absolutely horrible.  Especially on disc 2, the track separation  is not even between songs. Titles are wrong, like in "bass & drum solo", it is more than that. Songs are not listed. Very amateurish.  If it weren't for being Jon, I'd have sent this back. Maybe a professional will release this one day.


title: Excellent recording

text: I love most of everything that Karajan has done. This is a 1958 recording on Angel Records which is slightly below the DGG standard.


title: Suzie Benson aka Q Rose....please record an album.

text: Better than average movie, but bought it for the music soundtrack.


title: This is a fake it has been recorded over and over again in the copy has gotten extremely bad

text: This must be illegal because it's been re-recorded so many times


This is a nice collection of artists interpreting the Stones' album. I found it very entertaining. I bet I've played it a dozen times already. I only found it because Black Joe Lewis played on it.


title: Misty Edwards

text: Misty Edwards is one the best Christian artist out there. I love everything she has done. I recommend her to anyone wanting to move forward with their walk with God.


title: Fun dance music

text: An entertaining trip through 1950s Latin influenced cruise ship orchestra dance tunes. Historical with no fustiness, polished performances led by Charlie Halloran, a superb New Orleans trombonist. It is of a place and time, yet not dated at all. Enjoy!


title: Easy, efficient, the best!!

text: This is THE BEST wine opener I’ve EVER PURCHASED!!! Amazing product


title: Presumptive FRAUD

text: This CD is billed as a collection best hits. Most of the songs on it are quite ordinary and surely wouldn’t make even the top 50 or 100 list of the year that they were released. This was slapped together and marketed with a “Best Hits”  simply to lure you in to buying it. Don’t waste your money on this garbage collection!!!


title: Five Stars

text: Very good CD.


title: Truly beautiful music

text: I came across Tim Janis a couple months ago.  His music is very soothing and meditative.  I would recommend this CD to everyone who just needs an hour to just breathe and connect to their “self” again.


title: WOW PATSY!!!

text: What could I say about this collection that wouldn't be an understatement? Music just doesn't get any better.


title: Crystal Bowls transport listener to tranquility!

text: This album takes the listener on a magical journey of inner healing.  Each track brings greater centering and tranquility.  This is a perfect soundtrack for meditation, contemplation and relaxation.  I highly recommend it!

text: Good country music.

text: I like Chucks music.


title: I love Hank Williams music. Very satisfied!

text: Listen to great old songs by a great artist!


title: Lifetime of great blues.

text: Another of Mr. Mayalls best. A life dedicated to the blues is here! Good CD. If you have a chance add this one to your collection.


title: Real oldies

text: I ordered this to replace the casette tapes bought years ago, and the CDs are just as good as the cassettes were.  It's a nostalgia thing.

title: One Star

text: I was sold an album that specifically says 'not for resale'.


title: Totally excellent relaxation.

text: Totally excellent relaxation CD. I almost never stay awake through the whole 35 minutes. Usually after 5 or 10 minutes I'm gone. I return well rested to the last music notes or to silence. I wish she did more of these things. I've tried others that are not bad, but this CD is really, really nice, and it gets the job well done! I really like this CD! After a workout and re-fuel, I plop into the chair, tilt back with the headphones, and it's hello Susie, goodbye tension and internal conflict.


title: Five Stars

text: nice


title: nice and carefully wrapped

text: nice  and  carefully wrapped  thanks


title: Great gospel !

text: This will make you happy and sing and shout !! Love to listen to this type gospel.Modern praise music leaves me very cold,but not this !


title: As odd as ever!

text: Four or so really interesting songs. Ah, high school!


title: Great and there's more where this came from...

text: It's really good 5/5 for what's on there but the trouble is, and why I'm docking a star, is that this version is very much abridged and there is another full disc's worth of unreleased material floating around out there on at least one Russian "file host". It's not quite finished release quality but it's so close it's a real shame they didn't finish the job and make an extended 2 disc bonus version. But, it's always possible they will because they did with "Escape from LA" so here's to hoping maybe shoot an email or a letter over in Michael Bay's or studio_exec@disney's direction about getting it released for 25th anniversary coming up, i mean it even won an academy award for sound mixing so this is especially kind of hard to believe but true! I'm sure if it was up to Hans, it'd have been released already!


title: good music!!!!

text: Listening pleasure


title: Great music.

text: Purchased for Hubby. He is really enjoying! Was nice to find a rare collection, without leaving my couch.😃


My whole family loves Linkin Park. I'm happy that it is now on a greatest hit album. Thanks!


title: Lots of good music

text: Was bought as a gift but told it is a great albums with lots of good songs.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent item and seller Thank you


title: Swoon at Derric Johnson's silky, velvety music!

text: I grew up in the ‘70’s.  I loved Derric Johnson’s group Re’Generation.  I found this CD on Amazon and purchased it -- and several others --  immediately.  (Note: I’ll post this same review for all of my Derric Johnson CD purchases.  They are all wonderful and all sound so …“velvety!”)


title: One of my favorites

text: I was a DJ when this came out, and played a number of cuts that were very well received by my listeners. I still listen to this album often and wish I could find "Rebel Shoes".  Great album for the era, too bad they didn't get the promotion they deserved.


title: Refreshing oldies

text: Classic southern rock and blues


title: I love it

text: Excellent seller!


title: sweetness

text: Read about it - liked the period - still playing it in my car!


title: Astonishing

text: One of the best CDs ever made - and as far as I know, no way to get it, except wait for someone to sell their copy.  Makes the"if you could only listen to 20 cd's for the rest of your life, what would they be?" list.  Incredible voice, extraordinary music.


title: Don’t waste your money

text: The quality of the sound is so so poor.<br />Skips like nothing I’ve ever heard before.


title: The best band you’ve probably never heard

text: This album is all killer and no filler!  Great vocals and awesome guitars it rocks now as good as it did in 1982.  “The Ballad” was way ahead of its time, as the power ballad would not be big for several years later.  If you cannot find the disc it is on iTunes.  Check out some great stuff on YouTube although it is very limited.  These guys were as good as anyone back in the day but did not have the management or support to get as far as they should have.  Buy it!


title: Recommended!

text: This remastered version of CTA (or Chicago 1) is exceptional. I am really enjoying this trip back to my youth.<br />Recommended!


title: Fine performance, striped down sound

text: Some new songs. Some older ones. Very basic arrangements. Karla's beautiful voice and instruments are mixed up front. She still sings like an angel.


title: A welcome addition to any Beatles collection.

text: I've been wanting to hear the Beatles Christmas records for years so it was great to get them all in one set. The cover art is fun. The red vinyl is a cool novelty. The actual content itself was a bit underwhelming but I may have gotten my expectations too high after all these years. I am a die-hard Beatles fan though so I don't regret having added this to my collection.


title: Impressive talent!

text: This young woman is an amazing talent!


title: Astounding!!!

text:
Absolutely Beautiful ~ I have it playing 24/7
Literally ~ Sooo relaxing background music!!!
Centers your Heart ♥ in PEACE!!! ~
You Won't be disappointed!!!


title: Awesome!

text:
this has got to be one of the best "first" albums I've ever heard.
these guys have some real convictions and they're not afraid to say so.
some really solid heavy rock and nice clear vocals.

if you get the chance to grab one of these rare gems. don't wait.


title: Wonderful Christian music sung gloriously. Inspiring and uplifting.

text: Listened in my car over and over never tiring of these awesome voices.


title: Five Stars

text: Loved it!!


title: great cd

text: this is a great item and well worth the price that i paid for it as it was my sons birthday present and he really enjoyed it


title: Roberts was great and I truly miss him

text: Fr. Roberts was great and I truly miss him.  I have all his books. I would like to find better beiive it written be him.


title: Not just the voice of an angel, but also an angelic person.

text: Amira's voice is clear, crisp and heartbreakingly beautiful.  This is an absolutely terrific album and you won't regret purchasing it.  Also, keep in mind that Amira uses her profits to fund playgrounds in Africa.  She is a truly angelic person so it really isn't a surprise her voice is to beautiful.


title: A Little Bit of Everything!

text:
This album was perfect to play on a lazy Saturday afternoon!
The songs spanned from classic Scottish folk tunes to Disney and Lady GaGa arrangements.
All performed on a Theater Organ by a skilled and talented musician.
I definitely recommend this for organ music fans.


title: Tool is always awesome

text: Great album, even better in concert. My boyfriend loved it.


title: Feel good single of the year

text: I didn't like it all that much at first listen because it's such a different sound than I'm used to from Christina, but I like it more and more every time I listen to it. I just can't help but get pumped up when this song is being blasted out of my car stereo speakers. Dirrty is one of Christina's bests.


title: Powerful

text: Powerful and well orchestrated.


title: Beautiful album

text: This CD is beautiful.  Shipped quickly. Highly recommend!


title: Four Stars

text: Very good


title: A good tool to add to your tool box

text: I wish that the tiles could be stored inside the main part, but it's easy enough to just keep everything in the box. This has been a good tool to give kids in my classroom more options to work on their math and spelling and improve generalization and engagement.


title: Great CD

text: I love this music and the quality of CD was great.


title: Love this group I had the cd before but I wore it out

text: Awesome


title: Dont waste your money they dont work

text:
These cables look nice and didnt cost much at all. Unfortunately they are still not worth the low price tag as they are barely usable. It's like they werent manufactured correctly as they dont stay in your phone and fall out extremely easily.
Other than Apple lightening cables i have tried Anker and Amazon basics and both work 100% better than these pieces of crap.
So if u are okay with plugging them in your phone while it is face up and not moving your phone one inch after you plug it in, these cables will work for you. Otherwise any movement at all will cause the cables to dislodge and stop the charge.
Dont waste your money, spend a few extra bucks for quality cables that work.

text: We loved this CD!  Renting a car and using this CD as our "tour guide" was a wonderful idea.  We were able to relax and take this trip at our own pace (often stopping to admire the beautiful scenery and explore the small towns along the way).  This CD made our experience more memorable by giving us pertinent information a we traveled.  In addition, it was delivered to our home within 2-3 days as promised.

text: One of her best. It's amazing<br /> I was 16-17 when it was released. Stars was originally sung by Janis Ian. But Cher classified it as a true heartbreaker. This and Two the hard way with Greg Allman are my favorites. Just this one time .. is amazing rock n roll.. Cher's voice carries a gentle breath of heartbreak (as does Elton John).. and I'm glad to see.. she's a bigger draw today than the remaining big guns of the last few decades. Cher is Living Proof..(ok..pun).. age is just a number. You'll get there soon enough.. be kind. Cause karma will kick your ass if you're not. Love Cher.

It just so happened my wife's birthday was coming up, so I ordered this cd.  So what if it was used, it sounds great, and now we can listen to the old favorites again and share them with the kids.  I wish more of the old cassettes were on cd.

text:
This is just 6 hours of a seminar spliced into 6 CDs. It’s nowhere near worth the money. Tolle’s bizarre laugh (and you’ll know what I’m talking about) grates on you early. Hearing him laugh over 6 hours ruined the magic. Almost nothing on the power of now and lots of talk on what seems like “make up as you go mindfulness.”

Space Consciousness? Cmon now.


title: Can't say enough about this group

text: I've long been a fan of close harmony/barbershop music.  These four men have obviously spent thousands upon thousands of hours singing and IMHO are the pinnacle of vocal talent, harmony, and verve.  My father is also a huge fan of close harmony, so I bought several of Acoustix's CDs for him for Christmas, and after opening them Christmas morning, we listened to each CD.  They were all superb.  Can't recommend this group enough if you are a lover of close harmony.  If you have any reservations, go to youtube and search, there are a couple of their songs on there.

Mainly because Mark Stutso, the drummer then sings better than the drummer on the Detroit CD. IMO! The song, Detroit Iron by itself is reason enough to demand this CD! Mark S. sang this song sooooooooooo well, it just kicks ass! Cant say enough good about this CD! If you like Thackery, then by all means find this CD and buy it!!

text: I have always enjoyed Firefall's music from the moment I first heard their first LP back in 1976. This CD, although without Rick Roberts on lead vocals is NOT a disappointment at all! This has become my favorite CD to listen to over the last few months. I especially love Sweet and Sour, So Long, Strange Way, and Mexico. Cant get tired of this CD at all! For a band with a reputation for sweet, slow love songs, dont let that fool you! This band really rocks, especially on Get You Back. I highly recommend this CD for ALL Firefall fans, and for those who havent heard them in years, this is the CD to enjoy by far. Now just wish the DVD was out!

title: My Favorite Thrash Album of 2018

text: This German thrash band knows how to rip! Excellently done thrash metal with tons of energy and speed. They have a clearly obvious Exodus influence, but sound less like a clone than on their first album. This one is phenomenal, in my opinion. Every song is strong, with very few moments to catch your breath. The riffs, solos, and drumming are top-notch, and the vocals are an insanely enthusiastic mix of Zetro Souza and Bobby Blitz. Off with Their Heads was a CLEAR standout metal release in 2018, and my favorite overall thrash album of '18.


title: "The End" of Black Sabbath

text:
Black Sabbath's "The End" CD is a phenomenal conclusion to the band's discography, excluding any forthcoming live products that may come down the line. With Sabbath embarking on their final tour, they decided to scrap plans for a new album, and have instead opted to release a "gig-only" CD (in Geezer Butler's words), so you can only purchase this directly by going to one of Sabbath's "The End" concerts. And even that's a maybe, because, from all accounts, the CD's have sold out at every concert well before the show, making copies even more difficult to obtain. Add to that the fact that many people who have gone to the shows have purchased as many copies as they could get their hands on for resale, and we're talking about what could become a fairly valuable collector's item. The CD that's out now has a limited number of copies, and if they ever decided to release it officially in stores, the value of the original copies might drop, but for now, it doesn't appear that this will see a widescale release after the tour is over. Which is all to say, if you're a Black Sabbath fanatic, you might want to consider parting with a few dollars to get a copy of "The End."

The CD itself has eight songs, and runs an impressive 54 minutes. The first four songs are the real highlight. They are all previously unreleased, completed tracks from the 13 sessions. Why on Earth these songs didn't make the cut for either the album or the alternate versions with bonus tracks I'll never know, because all four of these songs kick serious ass. Iommi is riffing to his heart's content on all four, and Ozzy sounds more energized. It seems like producer Rick Rubin went mostly for the slower, more doomy songs for the album, so the eight "leftover" songs which have now been released have an overall more upbeat tempo and mood. In fact, had there been any real foresight a couple years ago, somebody at the record label would have realized what a great second album they had on their hands with the eight extra tracks. If you put these four new songs together with the four that were bonus tracks on the Best Buy version of 13, you have a truly kick-ass album that's every bit as good as 13, and would have been a great way to celebrate Sabbath's final year as an active band. But, as it is, we at least finally get our hands on the rest of the songs from those sessions, and I'm beyond happy to have them. I love all four, but "Isolated Man" and "Take Me Home" are especially amazing to me.

The second half of "The End" is four live songs recorded during the 13 tour. There's three songs from that album, "God Is Dead?," "End of the Beginning," and "Age of Reason." "Under the Sun" from Vol. 4 is tucked in along with these three. The band sounded great on this tour, and Ozzy was hit-or-miss depending on the show. Naturally, he sounds fine on these recordings, or else why would they choose them for the CD? Since Sabbath are on their final tour, I think they could possibly do another live DVD/CD after this, but I'm pretty certain "The End" will be the last official release with new Black Sabbath studio tracks. While prices have varied since the beginning of the tour, they've settled to a fairly reasonable average on a certain auction site that's very popular. And by fairly reasonable, I'm talking in the $60 to $100 range, but early on in the tour, when fewer copies were available, I saw them go for as high as about $225. With Ozzy's health leading to the postponement of several shows already, we'll see if they can finish the tour and get the rest of the copies of "The End" on the market. Until then, good luck finding one without having to shell out an exorbitant amount.


title: A Tale of Two Tony's

text:
If you can find one, this 2-CD set is a great combination of albums.  Both are tough to come by individually, being out of print for many years, and with virtually no hope of seeing re-issues.  In addition, these are two very good releases with Tony Martin, one from before the Dio reunion in '92, and one from after. "Tyr" is actually my favorite of all the releases with Martin, and I think "Forbidden" is majorly underrated.  Here are my reviews for each album.

 Tyr

A quick note on how I came to discover Tyr in early 2012. For years, I only listened to Ozzy-fronted Sabbath, and would have nothing to do with any other version of the band. Finally, after the superb album, The Devil You Know, by the Mob Rules line-up, I got into the Dio albums, which are nothing short of amazing. After the one-offs with Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes, I checked into the Tony Martin era. I actually had Headless Cross on cassette way back when because it got pretty regular airplay on Headbanger's Ball, so I already knew that album was OK even though I wasn't into it much back then. I got Eternal Idol and was blown away. Martin's debut with the band sounded nearly as potent as any of the Dio albums, and certainly worthy of much more attention than it gets. So after wearing out EI, then picking up Headless Cross on CD to re-appreciate that album, it was on to Tyr.

Wow, I wish I'd known enough to get this back in 1990. What an incredible, ridiculously unknown entry in the Sabbath catalog! I have yet to get Cross Purposes or Forbidden, but for my money, this is the best Tony Martin album of the first three. The sound is pure Sabbath, with guitars reminiscent of the late 70's-early 80's incarnations of the band. A couple of tracks, like The Law Maker (which is AWESOME!) and Valhalla boast guitars as heavy as anything in Sabbath's history. The Law Maker almost has a speed metal vibe, with classic Iommi riffing that sounds reminiscent of the Ozzy era, being driven by a pummeling beat from Cozy Powell. Valhalla is another stomping, heavy song that stands up to just about anything from the band's past. The whole album has a heavier vibe than both Eternal Idol and Headless Cross, with more energetic riffs and beats in songs like Anno Mundi, Jerusalem, and The Sabbath Stones. Feels Good to Me, despite being a slower track written for radio, features parts a couple minutes in that have the epic guitar sound heard on some of the solo sections of Heaven and Hell, while the main riff to album closer Heaven in Black recalls Children of the Grave. I really didn't find anything unlikable on this album.

No matter what era of Black Sabbath you're talking about, Tony Iommi has always been an incredible songwriter, and is finally getting some long overdue credit among heavy metal fans for some of those albums like Tyr that got bashed back in the 80's and 90's because of their "outdated" sound, or because of Ozzy's far wider success during that time. As of this review, the original line-up is set to release a new album this fall after a summer of touring. I'm completely excited and can't wait to hear how they sound, and I hope the success they're bound to have reuniting with Ozzy will convince even more people to search out the less-known Sabbath titles and enjoy what many missed out on in years past. Tony didn't forget how to play guitar after Ozzy's departure, or for that matter, Geezer's or Bill's either. Whoever the singer is, just about any Black Sabbath album is good for a solid eight or nine songs of classic heavy metal, as I've come to learn over the last few years. If you're not steadfastly against Black Sabbath without Ozzy or Dio (or even if you are), definitely check out Tyr, Eternal Idol, and some of the other previously disdained titles. You'll be surprised.

Forbidden

I have to be listening to a different album from the one that currently sits at a measly three stars here on Amazon.

I was a longtime Ozzy holdout who wanted nothing to do with the other incarnations of Black Sabbath. But several years ago, I wised up and started exploring the Dio albums, followed by Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, and finally Tony Martin. What I found were a collection of albums chock-full of fantastic Tony Iommi riffs and solos, some incredibly gifted singers, and a list of musicians filled with hard rock/heavy metal luminaries.

The least respected singer in Sabbath's history has traditionally been Martin, so it makes sense that the albums featuring him were the last ones I got to. I quickly discovered that "Eternal Idol," "Tyr," and "Cross Purposes" were three of my favorite post-Ozzy Sabbath albums ("Headless Cross" is good, too, but I prefer the other three), and I became a quick fan of "The Cat." But "Forbidden" has such a bad reputation, and being out of print, it's not a cheap CD to obtain, so I put off getting it over and over. I finally couldn't take it anymore that there was only one Sabbath album I didn't have, so I bit the bullet and ordered it.

I couldn't have been more shocked after listening to the first few songs. Not only did I hear songs I immediately liked, but I heard riffs that sounded more like old Sabbath than anything from all the other Martin albums. The most common complaint I've read about "Forbidden" is the guest appearance by Ice-T on the first song, "Illusion of Power." I've seen the album referred to as "Rap Sabbath," and heard nothing but disdain for this song. When I listened to it, I heard a very brief spoken word part in the middle of the song that I didn't even at first realize was Ice-T, and that was it! No rap, no other cameos, just that one quick part and done. I also noticed that the producer of Body Count, Ice-T's hardcore band, produced "Forbidden," and it made sense. The producer inserted Ice-T for promotional reasons. A lame thing to do, but hardly Sabbath deciding to try their hand at rap-metal. That started to clue me in that this album gets a lot of undeserved hate.

To those who would point out that none of the musicians involved with this album have ever been kind to it, I'd say that the same is true of "Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die," and I love them both. Sometimes the undesirable circumstances around an album color the musicians' opinion of it, but as a fan, I listen to it and I hear songs that are very, very good. "Forbidden" doesn't have a single song I dislike, and boasts several that I really love. These are my favorites:

"Illusion of Power" has a fantastic doom riff in the chorus, very heavy guitars overall with some old-school tone, slow and doomy throughout with great drumming from Cozy Powell.

"Get a Grip" has a rowdy "Mob Rules," "Born Again" vibe, another great chorus riff, and a heavy, pounding climax.

"Can't Get Close Enough" is power metal heaven, with a crunchy old-school Sabotage riff that kicks in at about the 1:28 mark. Martin delivers catchy, raspy vocals; it's a beautiful song.

"Shaking Off the Chains" showcases yet another very heavy old-school riff in the verse, a sweet melodic riff in the second half, there are some fast parts...GREAT song!

"I Won't Cry for You" has a fantastic chorus with a super-powerful Iommi riff and one of Martin's best vocals ever, plus an incredible, classic-sounding solo. Another great song.

"Guilty as Hell" is an upbeat rocker with a nice '70's guitar tone in the main riff and great drums; Cozy Powell is a definite highlight.

"Forbidden" has more mid-'70's guitar sound mixed with '80's hard rock and a great, catchy chorus.

"Kiss of Death" is an epic, "Heaven and Hell"-worthy closer, with an incredible section reminiscent of "Master of Reality" near the end. It's an excellent way to close out one of many stellar albums written mainly by the godfather of heavy metal, Tony Iommi. If you're a serious fan of Iommi's work, ignore the naysayers and take a chance on "Forbidden." I, for one, was not disappointed.


title: Agalloch--Ten Out of Ten!

text: The Mantle is a thoroughly amazing album, only the second full-length from Agalloch. This release focuses more on acoustics and melancholy than their debut, Pale Folklore, but still blends that side with a low-fi black metal approach. This style has prompted some to dub them the originators of grey metal, a reference to the bleak, dreary atmosphere created by their stark instrumental passages. The vocals contribute to this imagery as well, alternating between the tortured screeching usually associated with the black metal genre and airy clean singing that reminds me more than a little of Rush's Geddy Lee. Add together the band's sound, their photography of frigid winter landscapes from their native Oregon, and song titles like In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion,...And the Great Cold Death of the Earth, and A Desolation Song, and you might be able to see where the grey metal moniker comes from. Absolutely perfect music for those cold, windy nights when you prefer to be alone with your thoughts, Agalloch offers richly diverse, unique music of which I've quickly become an enthusiastic fan. They're one of those few bands out there whose music can truly take you on a journey.


title: Ozzy's Live....and He's Loud

text: There's no shortage of live Ozzy material, but that makes sense, as he's been known since the '70's to be one of the most entertaining singers that have ever hit the stage. This was the third official live CD, following "Speak of the Devil" and "Tribute." There was also a live "Ultimate Sin" home video and the "Just Say Ozzy" EP before "Live and Loud." This release came after the "No More Tears" album and tour, so it features five songs from that period- "I Don't Want to Change the World," "Desire," "Road to Nowhere," "No More Tears," "and "Mama, I'm Coming Home." It has the Sabbath tunes "Parnoid," "War Pigs," "Black Sabbath," and "Changes." "Black Sabbath" has all four original members of the band playing from Ozzy's farewell show (short-lived farewell that it was). From the Randy Rhoads era, you get "Mr. Crowley," "I Don't Know," "Flying High Again," "Suicide Solution," "Goodbye to Romance," and "Crazy Train." It has two Jake E. Lee songs, "Shot in the Dark" and "Bark at the Moon." And finally, there's one song from "No Rest for the Wicked," "Miracle Man." It also has a fantastic 24-page booklet full of pictures from the "No More Tours" trek and lengthy liner notes. This is a great collection of live performances from the glory years of Ozzy's time with Zakk Wylde, and on of the many great live albums from the Ozz-man. If you're especially a fan of the "No More Tears" period of Ozzy, you should love "Live and Loud."


title: "Paranoid" for the Dedicated Fan

text:
If you're a major Sabbath fanatic, this is the version of "Paranoid" you want.  Coming from a longtime fan, it's pretty fantastic.  The CD of the original album sounds great, and obviously include some of the band's all-time most popular and recognized songs.  "War Pigs," "Paranoid," "Iron Man," and "Fairies Wear Boots" have been played at just about every Black Sabbath concert with Ozzy singing since the mid-70's.  To this day, those four songs are staples of their live set.  This also has the classics "Planet Caravan," "Electric Funeral," "Hand of Doom," and the instrumental "Rat Salad."  As one bonus, you get a DVD of the album with the 1974 quadrophonic mix, so if your TV  has good speakers, you'll probably listen to it just as often that way.

The real allure for me on this deluxe edition is the bonus CD of rare studio tracks.  You get instrumental versions of "War Pigs," "Iron Man," "Electric Funeral," "Hand of Doom," and "Fairies Wear Boots."  I absolutely love getting instrument-only tracks with special editions.  Getting to hear the songs without the vocals allows you to focus on what the band is doing and hear so much more of the music.  It's so great getting to listen to Iommi, Butler, and Ward laying down these classic songs in a way that wasn't previously available.  But maybe even better, the bonus disc has recordings of "Paranoid" and "Planet Caravan" with Ozzy singing earlier lyrics than what ended up on the final versions.  On "Paranoid," it sounds almost like he's improvising, just making lyrics up on the spot, but he does it really well.  "Planet Caravan" is amazing, with more personal lyrics and without the vocal effects that were used on the album.  Ozzy's voice is so delicate and soulful on this track, it makes me wish they hadn't used effects on the album version.

As if all of that weren't enough, the packaging of this set is fantastic.  It's LOADED with vintage photographs and artwork from the time the album was originally released.  From the gatefold panels, to the booklet, to the discs themselves, you get a real feel for the early '70's with all the images included here.  The booklet also has a very long article about the background of the band and the "Paranoid" album, with recollections from Sabbath members, discussion of the musical climate of the time, and much more.  This really is the definitive edition of "Paranoid" for the hardcore fan.  All of the Black Sabbath deluxe editions are good, but this is one of the better ones.  You will NOT be disappointed.


title: Unleashed Death 'n' Roll

text: This was the third straight death 'n' roll album by Unleashed, and the last before they began venturing back towards the darker sounds of their first few releases. Johnny Hedlund uses his shouting/yelling vocal style like on "Victory" and "Warrior," only occasionally wielding his death metal growls and screams. Most of the songs are either groove or mid-paced headbangers. Some of the lyrics are extemely juvenile, like the cheesy chorus to "Mrs. Minister," while others fit with their earlier style of Scandinavian imagery, like "Fly Raven Fly." I think "Victory" and "Warrior" are both stronger albums, as is the follow-up to "Hell's Unleashed," "Sworn Allegiance." Even so, this is a fun, rocking metal CD that most fans of Unleashed should appreciate. Definitel worth four stars.


title: Mostly Great

text:
The first issue of "Sheemie's Tale" did an incredible job chronicling Sheemie's involvement in matters of the Dark Tower.  This second issue is intended to finish bridging the gap between Sheemie following Roland back to Gilead in Wizard and Glass and then showing up again in the final Dark Tower novel. The artwork again amazes me, and the narration by Sheemie continues to work well.  The only detraction here stems from "expanded" material, as usual.

If you're looking for stunning Dark Tower artwork, this isssue has it.  Taheen guards in Thunderclap, ancient Great Ones, the rise of the Tower from the Prim, the creation of the Beams and the depiction of their human-like ambassadors to mortals...get the idea?  Some of the material here is breathtaking for a Dark Tower junkie.  I'm fascinated by all of the drawings, including one of Sheemie transformed into a tentacled monstronsity of the Prim that is horrifying.  If every issue had artwork like this...well, come to think of it, in the early days they did.  C'mon, Marvel; get this train back on the tracks!

This brings me to my only complaint about this issue.  Furth adds in some material where Sheemie escapes the man in black and falls into a river.  At the bottom of this river, he sees...the ancient Great Ones from Dark Tower mythology?  I'm always happy to see the outlandish illustrations of these creatures, but how does this even make sense?  Thankfully, this excursion is used to explain the rise of the Tower and the receding of the Prim, setting up the Crimson King's grudge and the central conflict behind the entire series (again, stunning artwork on those scenes).  Finally, Sheemie creates a "psychic spear" to escape the clutches of these beings, and is then visited by the entities representing the Beams.  After this inspiring turn of events, Sheemie is simply scooped up out of the river by Marten in the form of a huge bird to be taken back into captivity, awaiting Roland's arrival in Dark Tower 7 to liberate him and the other Breakers.

It's always tough for me to swallow the additional material written into the comics.  While I appreciate that it's all written with an attempt to stay in tune with King's novel's, it almost always feels like fan fiction.  And I'm not interested in fan fiction.  All I've wanted from the beginning was a faithful adaptation of Stephen King's books, like Marvel delivered with the excellent series, The Stand.  Instead, they've produced an uneven series that sometimes droops into mediocrity.  "Sheemie's Tale" has undoubtedly been a highlight, but its flaws tell another story about unmet expectations.

title: Nice replacement case for cardboard box Splendor ships with.

text:
The cards well is deep enough to hold all the tiers of the cards.  Though might be nice if it was just a bit deeper.
The gem chips fit snugly in their storage spaces.  The spaces designed for holding the chips hold them snugly.
The hard shell gives you confidence to store/carry it in places that you might normally hesitate with cardboard.
Size is also a little more compact than the box the game originally ships in.
Overall I am very happy with this product and the functionality of it.  Provided you do not need to also store and carry the extensions with you this will serve you very well.

text: This was for mom, we listened to it and she loved it. She was young when this music was out.  She says its exactly like  the original tracks. She wants the other ones.Thanks.


title: I love my BiBi cd she has a nice voice

text: I took a chance on ordering this. BiBi Gaytan is the only cd I wanted but the other two come as a  package.  I love my BiBi cd  she has a nice voice, the cds sound just like the original recordings. Thanks.


title: Park Hyo Shin, 7th album, perfect example of the ideal mix of flawless photography, graphic design, printing and music

text:
This album is more than just a cd with amazing music~ this album is a perfect work of art, from the hard cover to the almost 400 pages of photos and writings. It was beautifully designed and everything just fits with the feeling of the music that is delivered by the wonderful singer that is Park Hyo Shin. Just sit and enjoy discovering every aspect of it.

ps. The delivery was on time and came in perfect conditions, exactly as described.

title: Love This CD

text: Had this CD back in high school, & just happened to look it up here for my daughter. I was so surprised to find it, & ordered it immediately for her. I still love it just as much as I did 17 years ago, & now, so does my daughter. It was used, but in great condition.

title: Los Cuentos MAS Hermosos DEL Mundo

text: Este el unos de los discos mas hermosos de todo el mundo. Los diferentes personajes y las voces son excepcionales. Milissa logra transportar a los ninos al mundo magico de la imaginacion. Lo busque por 20 años y por fin lo encontre.


title: Excellent Examples of West Coast Guitar Players

text: Really love this CD. Some of the best: Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, Blues Slim, Willie Snow, Pee Wee Crayton, Jimmy Liggins, and many lesser known artists. Too bad this CD is out of print. Looks like the El Segundo label had only four releases in the late 90's, two of which were volumes of West Coast Guitar Killers.


title: Grand funk indeed!

text: Bruce Spelman and his cohorts of incredibly talented Austin musicians take me off to a special place every time I listen to them that it is almost dangerous for me to put this CD in and drive.  What is it?  Blues?  Jazzy?  R&B or R&R? I don't care.  It is an eclectic fusion of music that keeps me entertained time and time again.


title: iOS issue

text: Would have liked a digital version instead of CDs.  iTunes won’t play on IOS device because or region code.


title: Traditional sound, not so traditional subjects

text: I've had this CD for over 3 years now and still listen to it at least weekly.  This is not for you if you prefer the pop style fluff that most "country" radio stations play these days.  These songs have a traditional sound with modern subject material.  Brandy Clark has been recognized for many years in the Nashville music community as one of the premier songwriters in town and with this, her debut album, shows that she also possesses one of the purest voices as well.  I could easily hear Tammy Wynette singing "In Some Corner" during her heyday or the Judds singing many of the others.  Sample this album and see if it is your style.


title: One of the best concerts captured on vinyl

text: This was one of the best concerts I had ever seen captured on vinyl. Saw this performance back in 1979 at Madison Square Garden. Although this was not recorded there it is note for note the exact concert performed by the maestro Rick Wakeman. I wore my original vinyl record out so I bought this as a replacement. Even though it was used it was in pristine condition. I am now enjoying it once again. If you are familiar with journey to the center of the earth you will be over joyed to experience this marvel performed incredibly accurate on stage. Just close your eyes and play it on a killer stereo system and you will think you are there taking the journey along with the expedition.


title: Five Stars

text: With Walter Trout and Coco Montoyo--what's not to like?  And directed by the great Mayall--come on--get it!


title: High quality recordings of some amazing classics

text: These songs truly speak for themselves.  As far as the CDs go, the recording are crisp, clear and sound as if they have been restored perfectly from the masters.  Amazing.


title: I do really like the CD

text: My underground radio station was playing, Truth by Jeff Beck and early Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground,Blue Cheer. I am finding I missed a lot of stuff from that Radio Station that came on At Midnight and ran to 6 AM. I do really like the CD.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it.


title: TVZ

text: If you like Townes Van Zandt then this is a great live cd to get. On some live recorded CD's you get a lot of background noise from the audience. Sound quality is great and the songs really enjoyable to listen. This was recorded later in his life and the voice is a bit worn, but to me it sounds more real than the studio recorded songs.


title: St Paul ROCKS!

text: A great debut album;  I "really really" like it.  The funk mixed with the jazz is an awesome combination.  "Get Down" is my favorite track on the cd; love it.  Paul has great talent....bass guitar, upright bass, drums, piano and more; not to mention the VOICE.  St. Paul is among the best of the Minneapolis sound.


title: really nice texture!

text: Doesn't feel waxy; really nice texture!


title: Not as described.

text: Album says that it comes with clothing swatch and bonus poster, but it DOES NOT.

text: If you are one of those purists who owns a turntable, and has a love of the Baroque, this album is one of the best surveys of English baroque music ever released. Every piece a gem, bright and warm!

text: Enjoying the album and everything that came with it

title: bought for wife

text: I bought this for my wife who was complaining about her posture. While we still aren't sure of its posture corrective abilities, we are sure that it does help with back pain and has caused no discomfort as of yet.

title: Five Stars

text: My little one loves listening to this as do my husband and I! It is a true gem!


title: Not NIN enough

text: I appreciate what Trent tried to do by avoiding the record labels, but this is lacking. It is essentially a collection of noise and single riffs. Not much in the way of actual songs. Half of the tracks are little more than noise that don't lead anywhere. Might be good for background music. The next album "The Slip" is much better.


title: Beatiful Relaxing

text: Propelled to another time. I become both happy and calm. Music to cook by. Music to garden. Want more of their music


A Christmas gift for myself.... Bette's the best and I was pleased with the CD, but really glad to have the autographed copy.

text: Arrived early and is awesome Compilation album.

text: I grew up listening to these, and I can't believe they are finally available! I miss the big book with the written stories and beautiful pictures, but I'm so glad to actually have the stories and songs together!


title: Very good.

text: Love this CD. I haven't had chocolate in one week. I use to eat chocolate every week and sometimes for days in a row. I just don't know what happened but after listening to this CD for a few days, I just did not buy my usual chocolate bar and did not feel like buying it. Hopefully, this will continue.


title: Not bad.

text: Good. I have been listening to this CD only one week. I am not sure if it's in my head but I seem to be less hungry and have a bit less cravings. Time will tell.


title: Really like this one and it works!

text: I really like this cd. I listen to it before bed and it really relaxes me and almost puts me to sleep, in a good way. I am certain that my subconcious mind is absorbing all the affirmations while I sleep. very good!


title: I love this CD

text: I love this CD. The background music, the phrases that are being said. It's very relaxing. Will see if it works for my munching at night.


Def Leppard never disappoints and this was no exception


title: Upgrade

text: Loved this cd, I had it on cassette


title: Great sounding collection!

text: Jimmy was Americana personified! This collection was excellently engineered and the song selection was perfect as far as I am concerned.

title: love gino but this one is just a repeat cd

text: just a repeat of all his other best of.


title: Excellent cd!!  Vocals, lyrics, guitar, drums, etc.. --- all the BEST !!!!!!!!!!  Amazing sounds.

text:
Excellent cd!!  The vocals are great and the guitar playing is out of this world.  And some very unique lyrics.  I loved it all !!
I wish more of Frank's music was available to us in the states.
I would love to see him in concert !!  An unbelievable talent in his writing and on his guitar.  And he picks great people to play with !!


title: Amazing music, damaged vinyl

text: I love plini, and the album is fantastic!!! However, mine was delivered warped and does not play well. Super sad.


title: Worth having for the insert that does not come with the CD

text: I don't know how to rate this, but..<br />There is a CD, but the CD lacks the details notes about the bands that are included on the insert that comes with this album.  So, basically, I bought the insert, but was happy to do so.  If I were going to give a low rating to something it would be the CD!


title: You need this album

text: A Great San Francisco band from the 90's that is still relevant today. A must add for your collection.


title: sounds just like old time LP that I used to own

text: fantastic


title: happy fan

text: I met Chiz years ago when my church helped sponsor a concert.  I was even able to help set up the stage and tear it down.  He is an incredible trumpet player, musician, and has an incredible message of Christianity and anti-drugs.  I can feel the emotion he feels as I listen to the music.  I bought the tape of the Chiz Rider album, and later a CD when I wore the tape out.  Now I'm buying another CD to replace the one I used up.  The music is an amazing blend of jazz and upbeat tunes.  It always puts me in a good mood, and I look forward to buying every CD of his.  I would love to have the sheet music for his songs, just so that I can try to play them.


title: Five Stars

text: Prompt delivery and it was exactly as described.


title: Uplifting

text: I love "Sunday Shoes."  They came to the church I belong to several years ago, and there was almost a spiritual riot!  These guys are talented, and a lot of FUN!  So happy to find this CD again.  I had it before, and wore it out!


title: Great EP Album

text: This is a fantastic short CD from Patton Oswalt. Enjoy the banter between Oswalt, Mirmiam, Poshen, and Bamford. I love this CD and have ripped it onto my iTunes. A must have for any Patton Oswalt fan.


title: Hilarious Album

text: This is a wonderfully funny comedy album. Otis Lee Crenshaw sings funny songs with great musical accompaniement. No suggested for those 12 and younger though


title: Really Great Album

text: I lived in Hawaii when this album came out, and remember hearing the first single "Circle Game" on the radio there.  "Circle Game" was a hit in Hawaii, but not in the mainland U.S.A., and the follow up single, "Morning Girl", was played even more on the radio there.  There is no mention of "Morning Girl" being a single anywhere, just "Circle Game", but it was because I still have the 45 rpm of it.  I don't know what happened to him all these years later, but read that he died from a heart attack some years ago.  Anyway, this is a reallly nice album of covers done very well.


title: The two disc edition of Frank is amazing and is well worth buying  :-)

text: I love Amy Winehouse and I love her first CD. Frank , is a classic that is more known in the UK then the US . However it did get some commercial airplay when her megahit rehab was released in the states in early 2006 , then after that huge success , Frank was released and finally got AirPlay in America. Then America got to see how talented Amy Winehouse really is or past tense was. The two disc edition is amazing you get the whole first disc which is the complete album , however it is the European edition so if you're used to what we have here in America it does not have brother or Mr. Magic. However the second disc is phenomenal and has great remixes of stronger than me, take the box, f--- me pumps, and in my bed . And about 14 live versions of every song on that album . I highly recommend this is a great addition to your Amy Winehouse collection or just do your music collection well if you like special editions instead of standard additions of CDs .


title: Unfortunately not so good

text: I would use fewer than 20 words if I were allowed. I just want to say that unfortunately the sound quality of this recording is not very good. It's quite distorted, though the music is beautiful. I heard it in a store and couldn't tell then. But at home, on my home stereo, I was quite surprised and disappointed. 5 Stars for the music, no stars for the recording quality=2.5 stars


title: NOT organic

text: The description says “organic”, but the bag says “natural”, and NO WHERE in the bag has any mention of this product bring “organic.” It is from China. I’m returning it.


title: Amazing Quality

text: The record came in perfect condition and wrapped in cellophane. The record itself is in fantastic condition; it's not warped anywhere and there's no skipping. Great sound quality.


title: A+

text: One of my favorite Disney parades


title: Love it

text: Very nice


title: Not the same ddu ddu du as video!

text: I love BP but I was disappointed in this CD.  BUYER BEWARE - the version of ddu ddu du on this CD is NOT the same version as the one in the video.


title: Still the Best

text: Fabulous sound! We love it.Thanks


title: "One Way or Another," This Group Was a Mixed Bag.

text: I bought this album after a pretty bad 2-sentence review in British magazine Star Hits:  "Cats can fly?  Yes, they can, and they can take their catchy hooks and keyboard-driven pop sensibilities right out the window with them."  LOL, I'm paraphrasing it as I remember it, but it intrigued me enough to pick the album up.  The first five cuts on the album (Side one, of course) contains some not-so-great attempts at doing interpretations of light pop metal and dance rockers.  With a lousy song like "Flippin' to the A Side" sounding more like a B side released as their debut single, they were in trouble from the very start.  Epic should have released something from side 2, which was full of significantly better cuts.  "Love Ya Like That," a pretty good basic rocker that downplays the ample use of synths and features the appealingly unique lead vocals of Eddie Zeeman would have been a better choice.  The poppier, rhythmic chug of "One Way or Another" might also have faired better.  Standouts on side two also include a wonderfully pensive ballad called "Save it for the Next One" that shows promise of better things to come, but we never heard from the group again.  Nice, poppy "Love is a Heavy Load" is also a decent track.  Unfortunately, that was the overall problem with this album.  Half decent cuts verging on the edge of promising and half that don't work at all showcase a group that should have played clubs in their native Canada a few more years with time to really develop their songwriting skills.  It's too bad really, but I truly think Eddie Zeeman was the biggest talent in the group with that voice of his.  It would have been nice to see him flower as a prominent solo artist.


title: Now THIS is a Great Christmas Collection!

text:
When I worked at my last job, a good friend of mine got this disc free at Kohl's and I liked it so much when we played it at work that she had her son burn it for me.  What a great, diverse collection, and the best part is that it's a great wollop in a short time that you can press replay over again if you like.

1.  "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"--Andy Williams.  Great, spirited classic done perfectly.  You may also want to try his duet of the same song with Kathy Troccoli from her swing/big band Christmas album.

2.  "Winter Wonderland"--Peggy Lee.  I LOVE the incomparable Miss Lee.  This version is sexy, yet manages to be flirtatiously cool and cute at the same time.

3.  "White Christmas"--Dean Martin.  Classic of classics, it makes you feel like a kid again, back when his variety show was on the air.

4.  "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"--Brenda Lee.  We all know it, we always hear it ad nauseum, and it will probably never die.

5.  "Wonderful Christmas Time"--Paul McCartney and Wings.  Talk about a shift in gears, this has still somehow become a synthesized pop classic and, though it takes some getting used to, anything's better than Chicago's lousy version with Dolly Parton.

6.  "Sleigh Ride"--Ferrante & Teicher.  This classic instrumental always reminds me of how it blared over the PA system downtown when we would go into Hartford, WI, for sidewalk Christmas sales.  If it snowed, you really caught the spirit, and this track always brings it back tenfold.

7.  "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)"--Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole.  Updated version in which, through the magic of studio technology, a grown-up Natalie is able to duet on his old classic with her father, and it doesn't hurt the essence of the original one bit.

8.  "Frosty the Snowman"--Bing Crosby.  What collection would be complete without hearing der Bingo croon?

9.  "Here Comes Santa Clause"--The Mills Brothers.  Nice jazz arrangement and great harmonies from my parents' era.  Then again, there's a lot of that on here, and that's what I love.

10.  "Let it Snow!  Let it Snow!  Let it Snow!"--Lena Horne.  Great snap-your-fingers, cool jazz arrangement.

11.  "O Tannenbaum"--Vince Guaraldi Trio.  Yes, it's the Charlie Brown maestro himself, and this track does nothing to prevent you from envisioning the Peanuts gang in your head.

12.  "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"--Frank Sinatra.  And we close off with the often imitated, but never duplicated Ol' Blue-eyes himself in the most fitting fashion.

This collection consists of mostly traditional pop culture arrangement with a surprise or two, but the truly nice thing about it is that they're all great choices and you never get bored because of the variety.  Fun, mood-lifting, and one to remind you of those now gone with fondness, it also makes you want to share good times to come.  Worth owning ten times over!


title: A Child of the late 70s and 80s Generation Loves Forever Changes.

text:
This album is so amazing it's difficult to review.  I was not familiar with Love until another reviewer friend of mine recommended them to me a few years ago, and didn't follow up until 6 months ago.  The first time I played this album, I realized I'd heard UFO cover "Alone Again Or" in high school, and was delighted to hear the original version for the first time.  Now I know what justice they did to the Latin flavored folk beauty.

Since I was born in the mid-60s, all of this stuff is an unearthed treasure trove to me, and yours truly was definitely not prepared for the way this album blew my mind.  Some of you own the group from your youth, which my generation is nostalgic about, but each new discovery is such a delightful find for those of us who aren't so wild for today's new music.  This album is such a gloriously bohemian product that the sheer essence of its time sucks you right into it, which is never a bad thing.  People used to care about something aside from American Idol, facebook, and the commercial humdrum crud that keeps people from being personal and caring about something other than themselves.  I envy your generation for caring and trying, and this album is a fine case in point.

Heavy on psychedelic and folk (full of string embellishments that don't hurt either), Forever Changes is such a wonderful adventure into surrealistic art.  Faves would be the touching "Andmoreagain" which I love to play constantly.  "The Red Telephone" is nothing short of brilliance, and was featured in the film Taking Woodstock, much to my delight.  The anti-Vietnam theme is constant, and yet there are portraits Arthur Lee paints of hip social scenes and the pleasantries of Utopia in a country full of ignorance.  Irony?  Was he trying to paint a picture of people who were so numbed by being fed the war morning, noon, and night that our nation turned away for their own pleasures to escape the madness?  We all have to go on.

Love some of these song titles.  "Maybe the People Would be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale?"  LOL, guess you can pick, but it's got a great hook and a rather accidentally commercial appeal.  Very nice Spanish guitar picking.

"Live and Let Live:"  "The snot has caked against my pants.  It has turned into crystal?"  Umm, maybe some of the low reviewers have a point here, but then, try explaining Jethro Tull's classic, "Aqualung."

"The Good Humor Man He Sees Everything Like This:"  Visions of that temporary Utopia, but so beautifully portrayed.  Love the guitar riffs and horns about Arthur Lee's soft, sensitive voice.  This is easily my favorite track, because it is so childlike and charming that it's irresistible.

"Bummer in the Summer" is folky soul strut with an attitude, but the original final cut, "You Make the Scene" is the most disturbingly striking cut on FC.  Arthur Lee's lyrics can be sometimes vague, but nobody has to guess that he is commenting on the decay of society and the bleakness of war-minded people, much less the futility of human life in general.  This is such a disturbing song for me, because of Vietnam vets I have known who came home to such a hostile response, but it is more personal than that.  "You think you're happy, and you are happy--that's what you're happy for." Who can actually achieve this unless they are Bobby Rydell and Diane Renay?  Exactly.
"This is the only thing that I am sure of.  And that's every living thing is gonna die.  And there'll always be some be some people here to wonder why.  And for every happy hello there will be goodbye."  This song always makes me think of my brother, who died of leukemia just before Christmas of 2008, and it is hard to hear because of those lines.  There are also too many references to how people barter for this and that out of purely selfish motivation.

My review has already gone on too long, and I don't like doing that to people, but the bonus tracks are also really worth your time.  Forever Changes is such an underrated and glorious work of art, that it is impossible to conceive the negative reviews here!  I would recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear great 60s baroque pop, but use your own judgement.


title: Like buying it new all over again

text: This a very old record in excellent condition! It plays perfectly and even the cover is nice, with a minimum of fading and very little wear and tear of any kind. Even the inner paper sleeve is intact. I am very pleased!


title: Five Stars

text: Same music used in the Kindermusik classes.


title: Great collection

text: I have many Sinatra cd's and I'm really happy to have this one in my collection, it's very uplifting! Lots of great songs you won't find on his many cd's, plus you've got the added bonus of Count Basie. Highly recommend.<br />One bad thing, considering you must pay the exhorbitant shipping charge, it was disappointing that it took more than 3 weeks to receive (apparently it gets shipped on slow boat from England). This is 2021, so someone should advise there's a different mode of transportation. Still, I must say it's worth the wait.


title: Everything You Could Ever Want in a Soundtrack CD

text: Being a big fan of the movie, this give you not only the soundtrack cuts - you also get alternate takes, instrumental only tracks, cut songs and the composers piano sketches. Amazing exhaustive collection.


title: Most life changing course I've ever used.

text: I purchased this for a friend because I have been using it since about 2004, and it changed my life for the better.  Best thing I've ever bought, but it only works if you work it.

title: Great Recording But Won't Buy from This Seller Again

text: This is a very good recording of this CD and lovely music.  But the plastic wrapping of the CD was cut open upon arrival which I was not happy about.  When you order and pay for a NEW CD, the packaging should be in excellent condition.  That is why 3 stars, the CD deserves 5 stars but the Seller deserves 1 star only.


title: Don't miss out on this gem!

text: I have been a follower of Bill and his great music for many many years!  If you haven't listened to this CD yet...you are really missing out.  It is a warm collection of great songs that touch your heart, make your toes tap, and leave you with an all around great feeling.  Grab this CD while you can before they are all gone.  I guarantee you won't be disapointed!

title: Clever baby gift!

text: Gave this as a baby gift to my friends who are huge Pink Floyd fans and they LOVE LOVE LOVE it. They have actually made copies of the CD for themselves to listen to in their cars. They said it is a great change from all the other weird sing along music that kids have to listen to and that it is almost trippy! I am so happy that I gave this gift, and I think that it is a really clever idea for someone who loves a band and wants to get their child involved in music early! I HIGHLY recommend any of the Rockabye Baby CD's for a gift or for yourself!
