title: Five Stars

text: I bought this CD as a birthday gift for my girlfriend.


title: Good selection of titles. Smooth

text: Nice music. Good tunes; nice for relaxation. I’m a massage therapist and this is a lovely, relaxing, musical choice.


title: a highly influential work that is no longer performed

text: Berlioz thought highly of La Vestale, and it's easy to understand why. This opera has a similar plot to Norma and although Spontini is no Bellini, he was a skilled composer of some very dramatic music. Gencer is in fine form and the rest of the cast are all adequate or better. The sound is just so-so. I have not heard the Callas recording but from what I've read the sound of that live recording is terrible. (If someone knows otherwise, please comment accordingly.) Recommended.


title: historic recording

text: This is, to the best of my knowledge, the only recording of Les Deux Journees. The music is fantastic but the recording, from a live performance, is erratic in quality.  Still, very much worth having this work by an underrated composer.


title: I love this album

text: Everything listed came included. And very quickly. I love this album, I was very excited to receive it.

title: Excellent quality of sound, rare tracks

text: As a fan of Goth music, this has been one of the greatest finds, rare European Goth tracks finely recorded. Can volume III possibly outdo this?


title: Five Stars

text: My best friend loves this CD.


title: Now I like mozart

text: I wanted to hear clarinet music because I am learning to play it. This tape contains some of the most beautiful clarinet music I have ever heard. I love it.


title: Wonderful music to chill to!

text: Loved this CD! Wonderful music. Just what I like. 👍


title: She's something special!

text: What can you say about Fiona?  She's unique.  Her approach to each song is different.  You can tell she feels every word.  I love her music.  I have since I first heard "Criminal" and Sleep to Dream".<br />No CD has ever disappointed me.


title: Demo Disk

text: Quality wery poor, especially on the track "Summer Wine"<br />Says Demo Disk on it, and not for resale


title: Beautiful Album

text: There's so much that I enjoyed about the album. The PC and booklet of photos are stunning! Suho is very gorgeous! The fine artist who is responsible for the cover did an excellent job in capturing the soul and heart of the concept as well as Suho. While listening to the entire track list, I can't help but dream and feel euphoric due to the talent and heartwarming voice. The music is well put together, the production team has done an excellent job. I had a happy experience with the album.


title: Great

text: Love this one,  especially Over the Rainbow.  Lots of talent here.  Enjoy


title: I would give her 5 just for her voice, but overall...

text: I love her voice, but I am not happy with this CD.  She sounds as though she is trying too hard to sound like everyone else. It was probably the only way the record company would release it. This CD does not come close to her previous solo CD's "Lalah Hathaway" or "A Moment". Those two I would give 7 stars!  Her voice is still amazing, but this is not her best work.


title: Five Stars

title: Three Stars

text: My wife listens to this over and over.....


title: True to the Title, but still very enjoyable

text: BARRY TROTTER (there are THREE books in this Lilliputian-sized series!) is itself a satire on the ultra successful Harry Potter books and a sequel to a SATIRE is certainly pushing it, but author Michael Gerber keeps the tongue-in-cheek / Mad Magazine caliber writing consistently high for his readers. The first two of them even have audiobook editions - although only "The Unnecessary Sequel" has been rewarded with a CD version. Fingers crossed among fans that "Barry Trotter and the Dead Horse" might get recorded, but with the last of the original Harry Potter books and even the movies based on them now far from their initial release (although still essential reading and viewing) the publicity which floated the Barry Trotter books is probably past its "sell by" date as well - but the books remain fun reading on their own levels.

title: Still Reigns!!

text: I just really love his music and its good to see how versatile he is.  The entire album is good; my favorites: 30 sexy, Beautiful and LA song


title: LOVE this!

text: This is an amazing album of creative praise to the Lord. It will bring you into God's presence and His heart for the nations!


title: Brothers of the Road

text:
The 1980’s sure did a number on some of the classic rock n roll bands from the late 60s and 70s. Neil Young, Jethro Tull, Rolling Stones are just a small sample of the band that had a hard time putting out a quality rock album during the 80s. The drum machines and synth sounds didn’t mesh well with the raw rock sounds of the past.
Saying all that, the Allmans found the sledding tough as well. This album is an example of that.  This was part of a “comeback” for the Allmans, they released around the early 80s.  This album was screaming out loud to have a lite FM radio play.  But it just wasn’t the Allmans style.  This album does have one song I like, “Never knew how much”.
But Allman fans need not worry. The 90s came along and Allman brothers found their way again and starting putting out better material.


title: Denver Draw

text: I enjoyed this book. A great western story with fictional and non fictional characters mixed together  made for an entertaining listen. (i had the audio cd). The narrator was excellent.


title: Enjoyed her happy songs

text: Enjoyed her happy songs. Definitely easy listening when driving in the car. She's going to be great if she sticks with it. We would like to hear a followup album so let us know when it's in the works.


title: Perfect!

text: I hope they get a comeback soon! Perfect condition


title: Songs on the cds

text: I don't like not knowing which songs I'm buying


title: definitely worth the money

text: I have spent many hours driving down the Montana highways yodeling along with this CD.  K. Christensen starts with the simplest of exercises and works towards the more complex.  While alpine yodeling is not my final destination (I'm an old-timey kind of guy), these exercises are worth my time and effort.  It's a hoot and well worth the money.  Practice, practice, practice!


title: Five Stars

text: Great CD


title: Absolutely beautiful

text: One of my favorite albums ever, this collaboration is simply stunning. Absolutely the best of Steve Kilbey's numerous side projects, and probably the best work he's done outside of The Church period. Donnette Thayer has a beautiful voice, and that combined with Steve's songs and production is pure magic. It's the perfect soundtrack for a moonlight drive, or simply getting lost in your headphones late at night.


title: Pleased me….

text: Can now play The Jazz Singer music in my car….


title: Great music for those whoenjoy Sixties music

text: I was very pleased with this collection of Sixties music.  All songs are listed as having reached #1 status during the sixties.  It is a 4 CD collection of original hits by the original artists.  I would encourage any music lover who is looking for a broad range of sixties music to consider this package.


title: VERY dissatisfied. It was indicated as in "Good" condition ...

text: VERY dissatisfied.  It was indicated as in "Good" condition.  There was a big crack in the case when I opened it and the CD contained several scratches and food stains.  I have cleaned it, but it is still skipping and now I can't even play it.  I do want Amazon to give me a credit , as I do purchase many items continuously on Amazon.


title: She is not like everyone else.

text: To listen to. She has a unique voice and outlook.


title: RIP off price

text: Great music. But you can get the cd at least $1500 cheaper.  I got mine for $25 NZ


title: what a really great

text: wow,what a really great CD


title: An album that should be far more visible.

text:
I had this album many years ago on cassette, and sadly, not only wore out the tape, but never found it released in digital format. That I wore out the tape speaks volumes on how much I enjoyed the songs, from the album title track, "Invisible Man," to "Waiting for You," "Soldier," and all the way to the final track, "Richman, Poorman."

Fong's talent as both songwriter and singer come through in this album, and I periodically pop over here, hoping to find that it's finally been released as an MP3 collection.

Whoever owns the rights to this album, please, please, consider re-releasing it in digital, so that a new generation of listeners can enjoy these thought-provoking songs.


title: Damaged

text: The outer packaging arrived damaged

title: Love it

text: First off Amazing album comes with so many goodies and my package fast and on the date it was assigned!<br />Overall great product, I would highly recommend if you enjoy NCT 127.


title: This CD is amazing

text: Take the time and effort to listen to this with no possibility of distractions. Feel what is being said. You will feel so much love.


title: poor sound

text: I'm going to make it short. You have to be a collector to purchase this CD opera. My opinion is the sound quality is poor and I didn't even play the opera through. I have many "live recording" and this one is not for me.


title: STOP THE LEE JACKSON BASHING !!!!!!

text: All I ever read about the Nice is how everyone complains about Lee Jacksons singing. I LOVE his vocals (usually). They are authentic and not at all phoney or processed sounding. Check out "Someday" from Refugee, or "Cry Of Eugene" from this album. Or the daunting: Ars Longa Vita Brevis (and you all know what THAT means). Also, if it weren't for Lee Jackson, everybody would still be trying to sound like Paul McCartney. He had that "new" tone before Greg Lake or Chris Squire. I am a true Lee Jackson fan and "King Progress" is an outstanding album not at all like anything the Nice ever did. Sometimes it sounds like Genesis, sometimes like Yes (sort of) from around the same time period. Lee Jackson plays acoustic guitar and harmonica on this album. At 37 minutes its not that long but it is VERY GOOD. A great album to put on for non-critical background listening. After a while you'll find yourself looking forward to hearing it. It never sounds dull or old. Always refreshing to hear as is it different than most anything I have heard. Jackson Heights went through some personnel changes with each release until Lee Jackson recruited Patrick Moraz to join up. That became "Refugee" and the rest is history. "King Progress" is the bands first album (1970) and the other releases are hard to find indeed. But now , through the wonders of the "re-issue" - this album can be had by anybody who wants to hear something new, from a long time ago.


title: Song tracks

title: Excellent songs

text: I have been looking for this music for a long time, I am glad that this was transferred to CD quality from the original LP


title: Cllose your eyes...

text:
It's hard, nowadays, not to have at least slightly ambivalent feelings about this album.

On the one hand, the Confederates were an undeniably talented group of singers, arguably one of the best barbershop quartets of the '50s and '60s. (Okay, I haven't heard that many other quartets from that time period, other than the Buffalo Bills in "The Music Man," but the 'Feds were very well-regarded in their day - witness all the awards they received.) And their talents are on full display on this album, singing such songs as "Twelfth Street Rag," "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and "Mammy O' Mine."

However, this last tune, not to mention the group's name and their outfits, brings up my mixed feelings about the album which, of course, has to do with that whole romanticization of the antebellum South angle. Obviously, yes, it's hard to avoid the Great American Songbook - probably close to half the songs your kids will learn in preschool come from the minstrel show tradition (it helps that they're in the public domain). Not to be overly PC (or even PC at all), the South ain't gonna rise again - and I say that as someone whose family is originally from Georgia and with three great-great-grandfathers who fought for the Confederacy. Celebrating that culture...even in the early '60s (when this album was released), these guys' name and outfits had to be at least somewhat embarrassing and anachronistic, and not in a good way.

Bottom line: love the material, but not so keen on the presentation. Just flip the sleeve over to avoid looking at the album cover and listen to some good old barbershop quartet vocals.


title: Worthy of rediscovery (if you didn't already know about this guy)

text:
This is my first exposure to Mr. Tjader and I gotta say..."COOL!"

I found this album in a thrift store bin in a small town in Washington state, initially attracted by the cover image (duh) because the young woman there kinda reminds of Thora Birch. Plus, there's also side-boob and ass crack! But enough of my erotic fixations.

Also, it's translucent RED VINYL! The stained glass windows of LPs, this feature alone, regardless of the actual melodies, harmonies and rhythms carved into its ruby-tinted grooves, was worth the purchase price.

So when, just out of idle curiosity, I put the disc onto my turntable and listened to the actual music on this album, how much more of a bonus to find that the this guy Tjader puts out a super-cool groove. It's very Afro-Cuban/Latin-influenced stuff, with...well, look, I'm not gonna bore people with my lame attempts to sound like I know what I'm talking about here. Suffice to say that it has a great beat and my 2-year old loves to dance to it.


title: Beautiful songs.

text: This collection of hymns was first introduced to me during the Promise Keepers event in Syracuse NY, in 1996. I had this collection on cassette tape back then. Years passed and I remembered just how wonderful this collection of hymns was to me. I'm glad that Amazon offered it. My favorite song is "O The Deep Deep Love of Jesus." I like almost every song and at such a good price I would suggest this collection to anyone.


title: What lost tapes?

text: This is a mismash of recordings on which George played.  The songs are fine.  The misleading cover and title are not.


I see noone else ever posted a review of this set. Don't let the goofy looking art work fool ya folks. This one is a keeper! The analog sound quality is absolutely fantastic on 90% of the tracks. Some were obviously not from the original masters. Most were however,  and mono as well as stereo is used here of course. The recordings that do sound like they're from the masters are incredible. It sounds like Elvis is really almost singing in your ear. The sound quality and analog dynamics  on this set is the clear reason to buy it. If you're an  Elvis fan you'll love hearing these songs on vinyl.


title: One Star

text: Too much ocean.


title: Pretty Solid Band

text: One Night Only has a mix of British pop and american alternative rock in their sound. They have some pretty catchy tunes and this CD is definitely worth it. Plus the music video has emma watson in it...


title: Great local Oklahoma band!

text: Great album start to finish! Catchy leading baselines and comical lyrical content can sometimes remind me of Primus but I wouldn't necessarily compare the two. If you like early-mid 90's alternative rock you'll like this. One of my favorites from Oklahoma along with Flaming Lips of course. If your in your 30's and you missed this the first time around YOU SHOULD BUY THIS!


title: Great album and nice seller to get albums from

text: Album came well packaged and in excellent condition. The songs are great, the photobook is beautifully done, got both a pc and a circle card along with two lomo cards instead of the face mask (not upset, just pleasantly surprised). The poster is great and bigger than expected (didn't check the measurements but still pleased)<br />What's Owesome is a great seller and I would buy from them again.


title: Very good underrated rock band.

text: Very underrated rock band. Very good for their time and much under appreciated. They just hit the wrong years. Songs are solid but very dated, but that’s not a bad thing.  I still enjoy the 80’s hair metal stuff. Some of the best music going.


title: One of the best of 2016

text: The most slept on album of 2016. Great contributions from vocals and rap line and really fantastic lyrics. Truly awesome from start to finish.


title: BAP's Party Album is A+

text: Seriously great album with a fresh feel. They never disappoint, and this is a fantastic addition to the BAP discography.


title: Just a fashion show

text: Full of classic styles just like the styles


title: Mesmerizing Music

text: Unusual and innovative, the music and lyrics were like cloud floating. It continually surprised  me with its originality and charm.


title: Great Record

text: Good Quality Recording of GreatQuality Music..


title: Absolutely Loved it!!!

text: Been a fan of James Marsters for some time now. Loved him as Spike on Buffy, and on a couple of movies I've seen him in and I love his music! Solo or with his band, he has a great voice and I love the songs. There are a lot of different sounds in his music, but it all seems to fit together so well. Definately recommend!!


title: Your heart will swell with pride as an American listening to this talented, amazing group of musicians.

text: Amazing.  If you enjoy Drum and Bugle Corps style music, and patriotic music, this album, as well as the others from the "Commandant's Own" available on Amazon are a must buy.


title: Excellent condition, too must bass distortion on quality of recording.

text: Concert is good, but a bit heavy on bass distortion... recording of concert lacked a clear sense of acoustics... otherwise its just OK...


title: Excelllent!!!

text: If ur a outlaws fan I highly reccomend this!!Excellent recording live and  many great songs!!!!


title: The music on this record is awesome!

text:
The musicians that played this awesome instrument with over 100 pieces to it - have great talent.

You will find the music of the Wurlitzer Pipe Organ different than a church or home organ.  This is not your regular standard one either.

The recordings on this vinyl record were done originally in Indianapolis Indiana at the Paramount Music Palace.  Since then the restaurant closed and so did the new one that got it.

However, you will find the music very entertaining.  Bought my copy while the organ was in Indianapolis Indiana.  Each of the musicians brings a different style to the organ.

Recordings on it include patriotic, movie tunes and kid tunes.  (Sorry album in storage) If you love music you will enjoy this very much.


title: this is their best!

text: Thanks to James Brown from PA...he turned me onto King Carcass! highly underrated band...this is their best!


title: Five Stars

title: 8,49 for nothing but radio edits is a rip off

text:
I can say the recording industry shows how sleazy they can be when they sale singles with just 2 track radio edits!  Why isnt their a tracklist on this page?!

One (Your Name) Feat Pharrell Radio Edit 2:41
One Radio Edit 2:48

That's it less than 5 minutes of audio for $8.49!!


title: Song is awesome but you can find this elsewhere minus the video for a reasonable price...

text:
It amazes me how people try to rip people off on amazon! Amazon needs to step up and set some limits here!  To sale this for $99 is an insult when you can find the original with remixes for .99!

I will never buy anything from this seller.


title: Shop, shop, shop!!

text: I love the Milli Vanilli group whether they are true or not performers, the sound was good, I could dance to it and I listened to them while I worked at the bank.  If I like it, I'll buy it and that goes if the price is right too.  I recommend buying Milli Vanilli through Amazon, the price is right and the service is good.  God bless.


title: Fture Girls, Great Dance Music

text: Get up and dance! Move and flow with the rhythm. Great dance music and the lyrics on most songs are petty good, which I find rare in dance tracks. Also, most tracks are dynamic enough to keep you from drowning in boredom.


title: Whats sup dawg

i love classical piano.. since age 6 and i am now 27!
would love to try and find this jazz
CD i had from lifescapes but cant find it


title: Good condition! Cd worked.. Glad i found.

text: i mainly got this to bring back some<br />nostalgic from my childhood memories..


title: The best Backworld album.  One of my top 20.

text: "Isles of the Blest" is one of the most magical songs I've ever heard, and this remains as a jewel in the neoclassical genre, and my favorite of Backworld and the mature Joseph Budenholzer.


title: ... concert so the dvd that comes with it is wonderful.

text: I was at this concert so the dvd that comes with it is wonderful.


title: Shipped fine, weak album

text: Ordered from JPN4US. Product came new and disc played fine. Took a bit to ship as it came from Japan. As far as the album itself, I think it was a bit underwhelming compared to RC's previous stuff. "Grow Light" and "I'm Still" stood out to me as the two notable tracks.


title: Like new condition.

text: Record looks great for being almost 50 years old. Original sleeve and paper that is wrapped around the record looks very good. I am very, very pleased.


title: Five Stars

text: So cool and excellent quality. Each cover has great art and the red vinyl is sleek.

text: I knew Kevin years ago when his brother lived near Tupelo, MS.  Just found out that Kevin died from a brain tumor 3 years ago.  This grieves me.  I wanted his CD because I loved his music.


title: Enjoy it very much

text: Play the CD in my car all the time.  Enjoy it very much.  Thank you


title: GREAT!!!  GREAT!!!  GREAT!!!

text: If you like Hebraic music, you will absolutely LOVE this CD!!!


title: Great massage CD

text: I like this CD.  It wasn't what I thought I had ordered, so I was pleasantly surprised.  It's nice music without being too new age sounding.  I have a lot of older clients and they really don't like some of that stuff.  It opens really soft a slow to set the pace and then has a terrific 3 1/2 minute final piece that makes for a great finish.  Especially, if you finish with a little energy work.  Quickly became one of my favorites!  Happy accident.

title: Beautiful Readings

text: The Arthur Grumiaux readings of the Brahms Violin Sonatas is the most beautiful I have heard.  Priceless!


title: Last live recording with Duane

text: O.k. sound quality not that great, but since it was the last (known) recording of Duane live worth getting and listening to adding to your collect of ABB music.


title: The Beatles, Live at Shea Stadium CD/DVD combo

text: Although not the best transfer to dvd, still worth watching with the "warm-up bands", King Curtis, Sounds Inc., to Ed Sullivan intro, behind the scenes commentary, to the actual concert, worth having in anyone collection of Beatles recordings. As for the songs performed, as said in the liner notes, not all were live recordings from Shea Stadium, "She's A Woman", and "Everybody's trying to be my Baby" were omitted from soundtrack and film. Cd- tracks 1-10 were (supposedly) from Shea, tracks 11-22 taken from San Francisco concert August 29, 1966. If one gets the chance to purchase this, watch, listen and judge for yourself whether it was money well spent. I think so.....

title: Jack wild lp

text: Great condition, still love Jack!!!!!!


title: excellent version

text: this is well played and well recorded.  the compositions are fantastic versions of the french baroque style by perhaps the greatest composer ever.  can't go wrong here.


title: great mozart

text:
In my opinion the clarinet quintet is one of Mozart's best chamber works.  I am familiar with two other versions and this is the best of the three not so much for the strings - which are beautiful here - but for the wonderful tone in Antony Pay's clarinet.  It is deeper and richer than that of the players in the other versions.  Specifically I recently purchased Talich on Calliope records as part of their string quintets collection and while the string tone on that recording is wonderful the clarinet pales beside Pay's.

The other two pieces here are also quite enjoyable but do not rise above the general run of Mozart's generally good chamber works.

The sound is good.

title: Ministers to your soul

Dr. Temes says right off the bat that you will need a plan.  I made my own very simple one-page plan and my life was transformed by session #2, which is actually the first hypnosis session.  The title is apt--it felt effortless--a lifetime of sugar addiction gone overnight.  I hardly ever listened to the CDs since the first round! And I have been able to maintain my weight  loss without effort for 10 years now.

My husband lost his chocolate craving after listening to about half the sessions in the program.  The sessions are not long--12 to 20 min.--and I never "felt" hypnotized.  It really felt like guided relaxation.  I am deeply grateful.

However, you have to have a plan. Many people who need to lose weight don't know what a healthy and balanced meal plan looks like, and Dr. Temes won't tell you. So I made my own one-page plan to go with these guided meditations (which is what it feels like). My one-page plan was based on basic sound principles such as enough protein, lots of veggies, fruit as free treats, daily white bread (which I tolerate just fine, as opposed to whole wheat, which kills me) in small amounts -- hey, if the French can do it ....


title: You will be happy with this CD

text: Great songs, great voice!!


title: What a great find! Since Billy Joel has stopped giving us ...

text: What a great find ! Since Billy Joel has stopped giving us new material in 1993 ( not counting the classical release) , it is always awesome to find old/new releases. Very well recorded and its with the first version of the Billy Joel " band ". I was wanting more tunes from the stranger, but the ones included here are awesome !

Wished they put this on cd. Great old time music.


title: A tribute to Arthur Lee's creativity (June 2006)

text:
"Rubber Soul, Pet Sounds, Moby Grape, Revolver, Buffalo Springfield Again, Axis Bold As Love, Who's Next, Highway 61 Revisited, Child is Father to the Man, LOVE FOREVER CHANGES.
In any order; they're all great and all should be heard."
This was the entire review I wrote in Nov. of 2005, placing the album alongside some of the other great albums of the era. Recently I have learned that the lead singer and main songwriter of "Love", Arthur Lee, is quite sick and needs a bone marrow transplant (something he can't afford). I felt that this album (the highlight of Lee's creative output) deserved a little more.
One of the few racially integrated groups of the sixties, Love blended rock, folk, jazz, and blues in a completely unique way. They were a staple on the Sunset Strip and because Lee didn't like to tour they didn't break out in the same way as The Doors and The Byrd's, but their first three albums were classics and "Forever Changes" (the third) stands out as one of the best of the time.
The album still holds up well because it's not spacey, folksy or heavy, it's just classy, with a touch of strings and horns used to good effect and an overall mood that is almost hypnotic.
Most of the songs were written and sung by Lee, but the two by the late Bryan Maclean fit right in. There are no long guitar solos or big harmonies here just well crafted songs that add up to what one music poll in England named the number one rock album of all time. I can only hope that Arthur Lee will be able to sing his songs again.

title: Wow...

text:
I've been an avid fan of this band since I saw them on MTV's "120 Minutes" in 1987 with the video "Faith Healer", so the release of this album (their first since 1990) was a major event for me.  I was prepared to be disappointed, but I'm happy to say the exact opposite is the case. As much as I worship "Heavens" and "Craps" as two of the best albums of all time, "Crashes on the Platinum Planet" is at least as good, if not better. All of the songs are great, and there has been much justified buzz about Gary Waleik's compulsively catchy composition, "Robert Pollard". But the best songs on the album are, in my opinion, the beautiful, sad "Happy New Year" by Bill Goffrier, and what I consider to be Gary Waleik's masterpiece, "Sarah and Monica". It is one of the most beautiful, hook-filled songs I've heard in a very long time. The "C" section of this song is absolutely Beatles, and it sends shivers down my spine like any preternaturally gorgeous bit of music should.

The Goffrier/Waleik song "New Machine" rocks just like the good old days (with biting lyrics). And it is great to see drummer Jeff Oliphant's song writing develop with "Princess Warrior" (an inspiring song about fighting breast cancer), and especially his elegiac song with Bill, "Forget the Chef".

This band's musical ingenuity has always been incredible. The added element of maturity makes them all the more must hear. And you must hear. Buy it now.


title: Man is this guy good.

text: A homage to trumpet masters past and present.  Man is this guy good.


title: Has one good song on it.

text: This cd has one song on it, a live version of Gypsy from the Fleetwood mac the dance album. Gypsy is only on the dvd version of the Dance album, this is the only cd that has that has this special live version of this song. This cd is worth buying just for this one song.


title: Album gos great with The Christine Micvie 1984 album

text: This album has two songs on it where you can here Christine Micvie picking up vocals. The frist is a duet with Todd Sharp called we were lonely, the second is I don't what to leave you this way where Christine Micvie sings back ground vocals. Two other good songs on this album are am the one and I will never let you go. This album should get a cd release, and  is worth buying.


title: Has a track where Christine Micvie sing back ground vocals.

text: I bought this album because it has a song where Christine Micvie sings back ground vocals on. The song is called It aint over, a great song one of Billy Burnette best songs. Both Christine Micvie and Billy Burnette sound great together on this song, this song sounds like it would have been perfect for Fleetwood Mac Behind the Mask album. All in all the only good song on this album is it aint over is the only good song on this album.


title: Great 80s Christmas album

text: I have been played this cd every Christmas for 6 years now. All the songs on this cd are good 1980,s music, except maybe one track. Pretty much a good clone of a very special chistmas 1987, and very special Christmas 2. One of the very few 80,s Christmas albums that are any good. it will become a tradition to listen to it every Christmas time.


title: A Lovely 70,s album.

text: Cherised came out in 1977, thia album had some realy good songs on it, like pirate, he was beautiful, war paint and soft feathers, la plane, and love the devil out of ya. My favorite was love the devil out of you truly a lost hit, just like cher song dont hide your love. the other songs on the album are ok but are not my favorite. I think you would like this album if you buy it, i sure do like it.


title: A Fond Remembrance...

text:
This was the 2nd-to-last show for UP WITH PEOPLE, the international non-profit educational organization, before ceasing operations in 2000.  The group re-started in 2005, working with a program called WorldSmart, but at the time did NOT use a musical show to travel the world...in 2006, the group returned to its musical roots and incorporated songs old and new.  UP WITH PEOPLE started in 1965(including acclaimed actress Glenn Close) and had a 35 year run, as well as producing dozens of CDs from their shows.  Their famed concerts were  internationally known, from 4 SuperBowl half-time appearances, as well as performances for many dignitaries like Pope John Paul, several presidents and supporters like Bob Hope, Anthony Quinn and John Wayne.

While the music was changed every 2 years from 1971 on, in its last decade, the songs supported a themed "plot".  All types of music comprise the show, and "Roads" was no different- from the exciting opening song "Ayiko"(which, in Japanese, means "Come Together") to the main theme "Where The Roads Come Together"(which remains amongst the alumni as one of the most beloved songs ever written for the group), the music will keep you bouncing, and the spirit of this musical will encourage you with a positive spirit.  A talented group of UP WITH PEOPLE alumni was recruited to record this album, and you'll find yourself listening to this music over and over!

text: Great hit in Pittsburgh PA area due to the airplay of the great DJ Terry Lee and his TL Sound.


title: Most Excellent

text: No one familiar with early Alice Cooper Knows that Michael Bruce can play the guitar with the best of them and this is a great example of just how mind blowing his playing really is.<br />If you love the guitars from the early/mid 70's you must hear this album!


title: Another beauty from Cherry Ghost

text: If you enjoyed Thirst for Romance,you'll love this.This guy's voice makes him sound like a hopeless romantic.Lusher production this time around,mostly mid tempo songs,in fact,that's why I nicked a star,could have used a few more uptempo tunes.All in all,smart,well executed,almost baroque sounding chamber pop that will creep on you with repeated listening.A great alternative to more Toby Keith bring crammed down your throat.


title: A Must

text: A must for Rachmaninoff lovers. Even if you don't like operas usually (I certainly don't). This feels very orchestral and symphonic; the voices part of the palette (like Ravel's Daphnis & Chloe).


title: Beware the EP

text:
When purchasing this CD, make sure it is not the CD-Single or EP with 4 or 5 tracks on it, but instead the full 12-track Album (their 2nd Album).
The Album is amazing (and very obscure).
Excellent Shoegazing territory!


title: Yes, this is what you were looking for!

text: This is a rare CD version of the 3-disc LP set issued prior on the Eurodisc label of the full ballet in the studio recording as opposed to the live one available on BBC CD.  It if full fidelity, sounding as good as the LPs, with each act separate on 1 CD, so that there are 3 CDs in the box set.  The LP, "Dornröschen" was highly regarded in the day and I regard this recording as easily one of the very best and preferable to the live recording.  On the 'bay you may also find an alternative 2-CD (self-made, presumably bootleg, "RARITAS") recording - which only attests to the desirability of this disc.


title: All the Monkee's Best

text: This 3 CD collection contains all the Monkee's best songs, nothing is left out.  The set even includes "Don't listen to Linda", a favorite of mine that is often left out of other compilations.  This is the perfect one-stop shop for all your Monkee listening needs.

text: needed better packing i guess.


title: am i blood[import]

text: it is such a crime that this cd is not in print. IT IS THE BEST HEAVY METAL CD EVER. at least you can get there new album from sceeming bashee.


title: Great concert - Mediocre Video Presentation

text: Beautiful film music, but video presentation is very mediocre. Washed-out colors, looks like it was shot in S-VHS and is 4.3 non-anamorphic presentation. Still, a wonderful concert and worth the purchase. You get the DVD, a CD and a booklet.


title: Great performance, poor sound

text:
This is a gray-market CD from Europe, where radio broadcasts older than a certain age have fallen out of copyright.  That makes it legal to sell there, but it is not an authorized release, nor was it taken from any sort of broadcast master.  It sounds like it was a cassette someone recorded off the radio that was later converted to MP3.  In other words, it doesn't sound good.  Poor fidelity and no dynamic range at all.

There are other problems with the recording, including having "Silver Threads & Golden Needles" cut off only a minute into the song; my guess is that the person who recorded this concert on cassette had to flip the tape over at that point.

That said, Linda's performance is fantastic.  She was in excellent voice that night.  If you're a die-hard Linda Ronstadt fan, you'll probably enjoy this recording.  It's unfortunate that Linda's live performances aren't well-documented through official releases -- the recent "Live in Hollywood" release being an amazing exception to that -- so these gray-market releases serve as rare glimpses into her concerts.


title: NOT a collection of live concert recordings

text:
This is a pleasant collection of music by a wide variety of pop artists.  Nothing unique or special about it.

What's disappointing -- and almost misleading -- is that it is NOT a collection of live recordings.  The listing here on Amazon and the packaging itself both call it the "Mission Estate Winery Concert" collection, implying that these are live recordings from the winery's concert series.  It is not that.  No live recordings here, just the original studio recordings.  Just be aware of that when purchasing.


title: A unique version of IllumiNations

text:
For anyone who loves Walt Disney World's IllumiNations, this CD will be a treasured addition to your collection.  If you have the Millennium Celebration or illumiNations CDs, you'll find that what is on this CD is quite different.

First, the back of the CD case lists eleven tracks.  While the names of the pieces of music may be accurate, the CD is in fact just a single track (17:09 in length) containing all of the music listed.  As it is presented as one continuous piece of music, it's not really a problem to have it all as one "track."

Much of it is what we all know as "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth."  The main difference in these segments is the addition of chorus voices during the "Chaos" segment, near the beginning of the piece.  Where it diverges from the standard recordings of "Reflections of Earth" is in the addition of other pieces at different points.  Following "Chaos," we have "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand."  This shortened version is completely different than any of the versions of the song that are available elsewhere.

Secondly, segments of the "Tapestry of Nations" parade music have been inserted into the middle of the piece.  These segments include "The Sage of Time Prologue," "Millennium Heartbeat," and "The Great Millennium Walk."  Since these pieces are from the same composer (Gavin Greenaway) and are based on some of the same musical themes, they fit in quite well.

Finally, at the end of the track, the piece "We Go On" is heard.  This is completely different than what is found on other CDs of IllumiNations, with a different musical arrangement and a different vocalist.  I don't care much for this particular performance, but it's very interesting to hear such a different take on a familiar song.

If you enjoy Epcot's nightly fireworks show and don't have a recording of the music, I'd recommend getting one of the other CDs before getting this one, as the other CDs (Millennium Celebration or IllumiNations) are more accurate representations of what you hear in the park.  If, however, you have one of those CDs and are wanting something a bit different, this is a very worthwhile addition to your collection.


title: I'd skip this one...

text:
I was sent this version of Carmen by mistake -- I had ordered a different set, and apparently the seller didn't know the difference.  There are different versions of Carmen available with Bumbry, Vickers and Freni, so beware which one you're ordering.  This one is the Von Karajan version, a live performance from the Salzburg Festival.  I gave it a good listen before sending it back, and it is far from a good recording.

To start, this sounds like an archival recording that was never intended for commercial sale.  The sound is monophonic and low-fidelity, almost sounding like an old 78 rpm record -- except it was recorded in 1966.  The stage mics that were used to record this were placed in such a way that they picked up a great deal of noise, such as footsteps.  Imagine listening to live opera on an AM transistor radio and you'll get some idea of how this one sounds.

This recording is saved from a one-star rating by some excellent singing.  Not all the singing is perfect, and the chorus is sometimes quite ragged-sounding, but the principals are all very good.  However, the poor quality of the audio in general makes listening to it a less-than-enjoyable experience.

I would suggest that, if you're looking for a good 1960s-era Carmen, you go with a different one.  Unless you're specifically wanting this performance, there are quite a few others that are significantly better.

text: I have been wanting a copy of Candy's "Arms Of Love" ever since I first heard it years ago.  I was thrilled to see it come available and am very pleased with everything concerning this order.


title: Great

text: I highly recommend this set for any pipe organ buff.  It tells the story of Aristide Cavaille-Coll, a 19th century French organ builder, who introduced many innovations in organ building.  Many of his organs still exist today, and this set shows 15 of his best examples from small to large.  Great photography, and excellent sound, even on my old-time two channel TV, but is also in Digital surround sound.  Five discs, including three DVD's and two CD's make for lots of music and information about these organs.  Get a copy!!!

text: We heard this years ago. could not find it. It was everything we remembered. In excellent shape and we are so happy with it. Highly recommend tor people with children. Like peter and the wolf but different. Wish we could have found it when our Daughter was small. (24 years now) still love it.


title: Great record

text: This is a good collection of Macy Gray's work.  An excellent introduction to her music.


My husband and I are really enjoying Paul Jackson Jr. latest cd! Everyone will be very happy with their purchase!!


title: Wonderful CD

text: I purchased the CD for one particular song, but have found many other favorites.  The female vocalists have lovely voices complimenting the wonderful message of the songs.


title: Wonderfull

I bought this for my Husband. I found myself getting interested in the stories. It has been
a great way to sit and listen like years ago. Will buy any series that is available for buying.
To me it was well worth the purchase.


title: I love it!

text: One of the sweetest recordings of Bhagavan Das ever! I love this version of the Hanuman Chalesa. It's hard to find this disc but the producer may still have a few left. Do an internet search for Starchild Productions.


title: Awesome!

text: I love this CD! Excellent production values. It sounds great and Bhagavan's voice is clear and strong. I have no idea what the lone negative reviewer was thinking when he listened to it. It's hard to find this disc but the producer may still have a few left. Do an internet search for Starchild Productions.


title: This is a bootleg.  Please do not buy

text: Another cheap rip off of Prince.  This is a bootleg.  Please do not buy.  Amazon is filled with bootleg Prince items.  Please respect his legacy and buy only official merchandise and music.


title: Complete but mis-tracked.

text: Interesting defect, at least in my copy. The track for the first movement of the Mendelssohn symphony starts in the middle of the movement. The preceding part of the movement is attached to the end of the Beethoven Eroica symphony. The music plays through complete, but you have to play the entire cd through to do so.

title: No Chimes

text: I love chimes, and thought this would be about their special sounds.


title: Some Jewels Here, But Not at This Price

text: This CD has two songs on it I really love!  I'm guessing at the titles since I've lost the jacket, but both are the only songs with female leads.  One is the soulfully sung and catchy "Lighthouse Man" and the other, I'm guessing to be titled "Since You've Been Away" is a basso nova sung by a waif with a voice that's hard to describe; it's thin and reedy, but beautifully pitched and perfect for the song.  The remainder are male leads and though the music is good on some, the lyrics get insipid;  I bought this in a bargain bin somewhere and likely paid less than $5 for it.  I noticed that one can buy it from ebay for $4 plus shipping.  Amazon is clearly not pricing this correctly at $40.


title: DTS Recordings

text: This was supposed to be a DTS recording, used.  It is not.  It is a home made copy of a commercial recording.  My blue-ray player will not even load it.  Player is a Sony, does play DTS and teamed with a Harmon-Kardon AVReceiver set for HDMI and DTS has no trouble with other recordings.<br />This dealer, Kristin Seely, should be banned from your reseller list.  It would cost more in energy to return it, so I will just trash it.

title: Good book, okay voice acting

text:
This is a Bond book taken from the perspective of someone he meets, and so we see him as others might see him:  a dangerous man, but by his actions and charisma making him the sexiest spy, now and forever.

The voice actor Samantha Bond... not trying to be unkind, but her mispronunciation of "Adirondack" drove me nuts and broke my attention away from the story, every time I heard it.  If not for this I would have loved this audiobook.

Listen to the other books read by Rufus Sewell and he will spoil you.  You'll never want to listen to anyone else read again.

I will state up front that Charlie Zahm is my favorite singer.  He has an incredibly rich, clear voice, and his talent is showcased well on this CD.  When I introduce someone new to Mr. Zahm, this is the CD I start them off with.  There is a mix of music, and ending it with a live version of America's national anthem is the perfect end to a great album.

(My personal recommendation if you want to hop to a second CD is Among the Heather - but that's a personal preference.)

Sit back and enjoy!


title: Love This!

title: Two people completely "in sync"!

text: This is an amazing disk!  These two folks take on some pretty complex music, and they do it extemely well.  The Bach Musette is great, and the Music Box Dancer is worth buying the disk for alone.  If you get this disk, the thought can't help but come to you that you need a hammered dulcimer yourself, just to "mess around with".

You Can't listen to Tukuleur and not be captivated.  The genius of the African heart in the French language is a gift for the world.  My only sorrow is that there has not been more readily available since this masterful offering.  Trust me, WE ARE READY!!! and waiting...

Hearing Tukuleur's unique front offering "Africa" (I always think of it as "Mama Africa") to the tune of Toto's "Africa" on a compilation disk in the early 2000's sent shivers up my spine.  The other offerings on this disk, "Njibinaami" follow in a suite of dedicated cadence, strong, independent, directed.  I'm a blue-collar dummy that speaks neither French nor an African dialect, and will recommend this to the sincere lover of world music, African music, hip-hop, and jazz.  If a dummy like me can discern the wonder...unique and SUPERB.

text: A friend in Western Australia listens to Prue and the Maestro on her local radio and knew I would enjoy their favourites.  She sent me this 2 CD set which I treasure.  A friend here in Adelaide heard mine and wanted to obtain.  It was not available any longer in WA so I sought help from Amazon.com with wonderful results.  We are all thrilled!  Many thanks too for the speedy delivery.

title: Her voice is beautiful, thanks Amazon and the seller

text: The album was flat and it sounds excellent despite that it is noisy but with a few cleanings it should improve!


title: It is like being transported back to the 17th century, all you need is solitude and a cup of coffee to start every morning!

text: This is definitely, one of the best version of the Orchestral suites, second to none, including the recording of the Petite band of the same work in 2014, I found that recording to sound clinical lacking the tempo and passion of the original. Some works of art should be left alone and not revisited. Thanks to Amazon and the seller for providing me this beautiful box set. The seller was very honest about the description of the LP's, I consider myself very lucky to have practically, a brand new set of the Orchestral suites, the sound is glorious and vinyl is the way to go. I do own the CD's of this work and they are still going after three decades. Get ready to be placed  center stage in the 17th Century to listen to JS Bach, one of the greatest composers of all time. Thanks Amazon and the seller!


title: The Blue Danube never sounded so good, music that stirs the soul, thanks Amazon, second to none in customer satisfaction!

text: I have been waiting for this LP for quite a while, the sound is so quiet and clear. Nice compilation of waltzes despite Tales from the Vienna woods not being included. Oh course, the masterpiece is the Blue Danube and under Karajan attention to detail is the norm. Thanks to Amazon and the seller for the excellent quality and delivery, I was contemplating buying a more expensive edition but there is no need now. The only thing missing is a grand ballroom with people dancing! 2001 A Space Odyssey did not crossed my mind, the music stands on its own, breathtaking!


title: A Mauriat collector's edition LP for a very cheap, cheap price, thank you Amazon!

text: I thought that I was going to get an old album and that I would get stuck with a new cover, to my surprise the LP turns out to be a Canadian pressing, I was shocked when I played the album the first time in how good it sounded, yes, it is noisy in some areas but with more cleanings this Lp is another treasure to own. This vinyl rivals some of the other Mauriats that I found in New York city a while back for clarity and soundstage, but not for the price, this was under three dollars, lucky me!

title: A rocker drowned in MOR synthesizers

text:
In 1991, after almost a decade without being able to secure a deal to record an album, Suzi Quatro somehow emerged with this odd concoction which was over-produced by the Dutch Bolland Brothers who had worked with Samantha Fox and were behind the novelty track, `Rock Me Armadeus' by Falco.

If that makes this production team seem like an odd choice for her, you would be right. Their style is all over the place, cherry picking fads from the preceding few years and consequently making 'Oh, Suzi Q' sound a bit stale from the outset

Many of the 13 tracks on this collection are disappointingly pop MOR songs, characterized by the blandly fashionable wall of synthesizers that filled the mainstream at the time - particularly the half a dozen penned by the brothers. They even throw in the mystifyingly atrocious `Armadeus'-like, `The Great Midnight Rock'n'Roll House Party', which (at least now) comes across as a joke song. Who knows - maybe it seemed like a good way to keep up with the times for a 70s rocker back in 1991? But it didn't work, with `Oh Suzi Q' only getting released in a small number of European countries, including Germany and Holland.<br /><br />Despite her evident commitment to her vocal performance on the record, most of `Oh, Suzi Q' has nothing to do with Quatro's trademark boisterous rock style. At times she sounds like Stevie Nicks, at others like ABBA! But there are a few gems for diehards. After the corny echoey synth cover of the title track, there is the high watermark promise of the sultry `Southern Comfort', which Quatro is credited as co-writing with the producers. Complete with bayou-styled harmonicas, it is reminiscent of `Black Velvet' by Alannah Myles, which had just been a big hit at the time. That alone should have made it easy for this song to be a huge hit for Quatro. But, alas...

She had also forged a songwriting and recording partnership with female British singer, Rhiannon Wolfe, the fruits of which deliver the only two rockers on the album - `Kiss Me Goodbye' and `Elusive Lover'. Both are strong and enhanced by Wolfe's powerful backing vocals. Other slow tracks penned by Quatro or this duo are superior to the Bolland slush, but fail to lift this collection above mediocre. The simple probelem is that they are not rock. Perhaps half a dozen more characteristic hard rock moments would have delivered this recording an audience and rescued it - and her - from being drowned in synths and sinking without a trace from the recording scene for another decade and a half.


title: Gospel Memorirs

text: This is the music of my grandmother. As a child I heard these gospel songs play as she spent loving time with me. I am in my sixties and she has been gone many years. Oh so many memories.


title: I still love you like I did. I keep it hid.

text:
This is Jimmy Webb's 1968 debut on Epiq.  I'm surprised to see "I keep it hid" as one of his early songs -- when I hear Linda Ronstadt's heartbreaking 1989 cover (on Cry Like a Rainstorm) I thought it was written for her to sing.  Now I know Mary Wilson's lead on it for The Supremes.

I keep it hid (2:58) -- You're so young (2:21) -- I'll be back (2:48) -- Life is hard (2:23) -- I need you (2:25) -- Our time is running out (2:27) -- I can do it on my own (2:06) -- Then (2:13) -- I'm in need (2:01) -- Run, run, run (2:11).


title: A STRONG COMPILATION

text: "Dreams" has 20 songs, 18 of which also appear on the compilation "Stars: The Best of the Cranberries, 1992-2002" and even in the same order.  However, "Stars" included two new unreleased songs which are replaced here with two from 1995:  Dreams substitutes the catchy "Stars" with "No Need To Argue" and replaces "New New York" with "Dreaming My Dreams."  The record label, "Spectrum Audio" was a legitimate imprint of Universal Music.


title: Good Breadth

text: 36 songs, 36 bands stretching from Paul Brady to The Virgin Prunes, from Them to Van Morrison, from U2 to Nick Cave.  Missing in action are Horselips, Gilbert O'Sullivan, The Corrs and The Thrills but thank goodness for Emm Gryner's disc of Irish covers, [[ASIN:B000774QYC Songs of Love & Death]].  And thank goodness for Hip-O Records' dense post-punk [[ASIN:B0001BS4RE Greatest Irish Bands]].


title: Strong melody and good songs

text: I stumbled over the Stephanie Ruggeri "Small Talk" album in 2010 when one of the songs was a finalist in a national competition. I got my copy on cdbaby. The songs have good hooks and introspection, and especially "Small Talk" itself, peppy and bright and oppositional to the heartbreaking lyric. Musicianship is strong, too. "Hi's and Goodbyes" and "Keep In Touch" are other standouts. I'm always glad to hear them when they pop up on my shuffle and that's why I'm taking the time to write this review. Clever cover, too.

title: Cool, unusual

text: This album, by the way, likely has a nice set of songs but it doesn't come up in the list of one known CP&W albums: "Bound to Happen" (1967).  CP&W also contributed two songs to the Soundtrack album "For the Love of Ivy" (1968), then changed their name to The Buchanans. Pistelli left to form "Manhattan Transfer" in or around '70. A few of CP&W songs, including the hits "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" and Buchanan's "Medicine Man" end up on the Cashman & West's 1993  [[ASIN:B0011GU85Y The Am-fm Blues (Their Very Best)]].


title: Crystalline OST!

text: This is a vintage Jerome Moross score--composed before THE BIG COUNTRY and with a more "homey" sensibility, although there are also passages reflecting dark memories and present danger. The CD includes an interesting booklet about the movie and the score. And while the score was recorded for a 1958 movie, it sounds wonderful. The booklet reveals that the "recording was mastered from a direct digital transfer of the original scoring session tapes recorded at the Samuel Goldwyn Studios sound facility," and that explains why the recording doesn't show its age. I recommend this Jerome Moross score to all Jerome Moross fans and to anyone who remembers THE PROUD REBEL fondly.


title: Invigorating, enchanting Mancini

text: I've waited half a century for this soundtrack recording. It's delightful. Dramatic music is combined with several upbeat, snappy numbers, and the romantic title tune has several arrangements. Henry Mancini had a genius for composing both highly listenable, danceable music as well as exciting dramatic music for the movies he scored, and CHARADE has a wealth of both. The sound is clear and I recommend this CD to all movie music fans.


title: This was the original first editon

text: It is not fair that the 2007 reviewer gave it only one star because he felt cheated that it had been reissued as Cheek to Cheek.  On its merits it is worth 5 stars, and some collectors might prefer this original issue. Ironically, while Top Hat might have been priced lower than Cheek back then, it now is the other way around here on Amazon.  However, if you go to Vince's website -- or go to his live performances -- you will find that he is selling Cheek to Cheek at a very reasonable price, but the artwork is much better on this original.  Needles to say -- as even the one star reviewer admitted -- this is a wonderful album in either edition.  This is Vintage Vince, recorded back in 1985 when the music included here was only 50 years old.  Another quarter century has passed and you still will not find a better interpreter of the original arrangements of music from the 20s and, in this case, the 30s.  These are all songs from Astaire and Rodgers musicals played in the original style in digital stereo quality.


title: this CD is a very good representation of what Elvis could do during this time ...

text: After Elvis Presley was discharged from the army in 1960, he would successfully continue his career in music, television and movies. This CD features 16 tracks that were released during the first half of the decade. "Good Luck Charm" was a number one song from 1962 (his final chart-topper of the decade until "Suspicious Minds" in 1969); "His Latest Flame" and "Little Sister" were issued as a double-sided single in 1961; also from that year was the ballad "Can't Help Falling In Love" from the film "Blue Hawaii"; "I Feel So Bad" is a classic bluesy up-tempo number; "Return To Sender" was from the 1962 film "Girls! Girls! Girls!"; "She's Not You" is a timeless number also from '62; "Devil In Disguise" was a rocker in 1963; two songs from the 1964 feature "Viva Las Vegas" were issued as a hit single - the title track along with "What;d I Say"; another 1964 movie theme was "Kissin' Cousins"; "Kiss Me Quick" was one of the highlights from the "Pot Luck" LP; "Crying In The Chapel" was first recorded in 1960 and later released in 1965 where it became a number one hit in the U.K.; "Such A Night" rocked its way as part of the "Elvis Is Back!" album in 1960; "Bossa Nova Baby" was clearly the stand-out number from 1963's "Fun In Acapulco"; although "Ain't That Loving You Baby" was first issued during the mid-60's it actually was first recorded back in 1958. All in all, this CD is a very good representation of what Elvis could do during this time period. It is also a good starter for the beginning Elvis fan.

title: 2 classic Beatles albums on one CD!

text:
When these 2 classic American albums, "Beatles '65" and "Beatles VI". were originally released by Capitol Records during the mid-60s, they were issued at a time when The Beatles were dominating the popular music scene in the United States like nobody else. As was the case with other Beatles albums from the 60s, these 2 albums both went to number one, and sold millions. Now, to have these 2 unique albums on 1 CD togehter is a true delight. Each and every track has the finest sound quality available. These songs were originally released at the height of Beatlemania in America! 14 of the songs were first issued in England on the "Beatles For Sale" album. They were spread out with 8 songs on "Beatles '65" and 6 songs on "Beatles VI". This CD contains both albums in their entirety, and also programmed in the same running order, as well.

title: A brilliant 10-track CD sampler!

text:
Back in the fall of 1997, the shopping center chain of Fred Meyer stores, located in the Pacific Northwest, issued a unique 10-track CD for sale in its retail stores. Titled "The From Then" it features a variety of popular music favorites that were issued between 1973 through 1990. The songs which were selected for this CD are a fine representation of that era.

1. "When I'm With You" - SHERIFF

2. "My Sharona" - THE KNACK

3, "The Stroke" - BILLY SQUIER

4. "Call Me" - BLONDIE

5. "Hot Child In The City" - NICK GILDER

6. "Wildflower" - SKYLARK

7. "Sunglasses At Night" - COREY HART

8. "Soldier Of Love" - DONNY OSMOND

9. "Love Is A Battlefield" - PAT BENATAR

10. "You Can Do Magic" - AMERICA

Altogether, this is a great various artists sampler CD with a fine track selection. The success of this CD prompted the Fred Meyer chain to issue a series of additional CDs from 1998 to 2002, titled "Greatest Hits Blitz". But, this is where it all began.


title: California music turns 50!

text: This year marks the 50th anniversary of the formation of America's band, The Beach Boys. To commemorate this historic musical milestone, the survivng members of this legendary band - Brian Wilson, David Marks, Bruce Johnston, Al Jardine and Mike Love - have reunited together for their first full-fledged Beach Boys tour in quite some time. The boys have even recorded a brand new album for Capitol records, "That's Why God Made The Radio", featuring the title track that has all of the trademark vocal harmonies and instrumental arrangements that this group is known for. Now, here is another sweet surprise; a special 50th anniversary career retrospective fanzine. It includes 3 collectible postcards, a 72-page magazine with exclusive interviews with the boys plus dozens of rare photographs, and a special 11-track CD featuring 10 of their all-time greatest hits plus a brand new, 2012 re-recording of their classic 60s song, "Do It Again". Even into the 21st century, the Beach Boys still are riding the wave of success that has helped them to remain a vital part of the American music scene for over five decades (and counting!). When one thinks of the California surf and drag scene, look no further than the Beach Boys to brighten your summer days and nights with good vibrations.


title: La crème de la Cuban crème

text:
There will never, ever be a group like the Cuarteto Ruffino.  They were incomparable in a country (Cuba) that specialized in the musically unique.  Their harmonies were incredible, their sense of timing and rhythm impeccable, and the exuberant Mamá Ruffino (Mercedes Villaverde) brought the kind of joy to her singing that very few performers have been able to equal.  I can only think of Carmen Miranda as having that same joie de vivre, that same quality of giving the listener an instant high.  Throughout the forties, Mamá worked intermittently in Hollywood as a bit player and a dubber.  In the Spanish version of Max Fleischer's 1939 animated classic, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, she voiced the leading role of Princess Glory, while husband Ignacio voiced Gulliver.  And it is her voice you hear when Rita Hayworth sings Verde Luna in BLOOD AND SAND.  Mamá appears onscreen as Mrs. Morales in TORTILLA FLAT with Hedy Lamarr, John Garfield, and Spencer Tracy.  The Ruffinos also made guest appearances as themselves in several Mexican films of the fifties, usually as featured performers in musical numbers that had little or no connection to the plot line.

Daughter Julie, besides behind a talented singer and musician, was also a composer par excellence, giving us the sublime YO, and the introspective LAS CUATRO ESTACIONES.  And Papá Ruffino (Ignacio) was an opera singer before achieving fame as the base-baritone of the quartet.  He can be heard as the King of Egypt in both the EMI commercial release, and several pirate versions of the legendary Mexico City Aidas with Maria Callas.

There is nothing to dislike here.  All tracks are wonderful.  Most have been on CD before, but others like VOY A APAGAR LA LUZ, VEN QUE TE QUIERO, EL SON SE FUE DE CUBA, and TRIÁNGULO are appearing on CD for the first time, as far as I know.  The sound is great.  This is actually the best sounding of all their compilations on CD.  I strongly, unequivocally recommend it!

I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Mamá and Julie perform live in Miami many, many years ago.  Already in her seventies, and very ill, Mamá was still giving everyone a run for their money. It was an afternoon I will never forget. She passed away shortly thereafter.  All four Ruffinos are gone now.  But their recordings remain as a testament to their talent and their uniqueness, and as a time capsule of better days, before everything on that island turned to dust.  Only yesterday ... when the world was young.


title: Flower Power

text: While not truly flower power music, these 2 CDs sound good and represent a good selection of late 60's early 70's sound.  There is no Jefferson Airplane, No Doors, no Fleetwood Mac. But still good music at a good price.


title: The best album so far!

text: Exactly what I wanted! Everything was in great condition, will be buying from here again.


title: Wonderful!

text: I would give more stars if possible! Love it!


title: Very well done. Very interesting story

text: Love that this is a true story.  It captivates you from the start with the story line and all of the amazing things that happen.


title: Excellent Remaster / Poor Choice Of Bonus Tracks

text: The 2023 cd is excellent sounding (better than the 2008 remaster) but lacks the extended versions of both Telegraph and Genetic Engineering. Instead we get a few demos and a live mix. The demos aren't bad on their own in fact sound almost like studio recordings. But why not make this a 2 cd version where all the remixes and edits could've been included?


title: The Real Deal

text: The Carpenters complete singles collection presented in order of release along with respective b sides across three CDs. These are the original mixes that appeared on the 7" format and not the remixes that appeared in the 80s and 90's (although fine too). The first single Ticked To Ride/You Wonderful Parade is vinyl sourced and in mono but sounds fairly good. All the rest is A grade remastering of classics. Worth every penny.


title: Sanctuary (2019)

text: The third and best album by The Passions originally released in 1982 now gets a 2019 compact disc debut. The overall sound of Sanctuary is smoother and more lush than their previous two albums Michael & Miranda (1980) and 30,000 Feet Over China (1981). Standouts include The Letter, Into Night, Jump For Joy, Cars Driven Fast and Africa Mine. Also featured are 9 bonus tracks including b sides and live cuts including a stellar version of their signature hit I'm In Love With A German Film Star. This release has been expertly remastered and sounds crystal clear to the ears.


title: Excellent Product. Signed Print Included!

text: After reading many negative reviews about people not receiving a signed print photo , i guess i was one of the lucky ones who did get one. But that is fairly insignificant in comparison to the content here. The real draw to this boxset is the music itself. All of PY's crucial single releases 1982-94 now compiled in individual cd singles. Excellent sound quality too. All the 7"/12" versions, b sides and rarities here at last. This is the definitive collection out there. If you don't have any of the previous reissues, just get this while there're still around in print.


title: Visage Expanded

text: At last we have it! A proper deluxe reissue of one of the most important albums of the new wave/new romantic era. Originally released in 1980 Visage's debut self titled album put them on top of the charts with it's iconic Fade To Grey hit single and their singer the androgynous Steve Strange. 38 years later it still sounds fresh and relevant as it did back then. The sound is excellent and well mastered by Scott Davies, whose work is impeccable when it comes to reissues. As a bonus this cd includes seven bonus tracks featuring 12" mixes and a couple of b sides. There's only a handful of these out there so grab copy while you can. Truly worth it!


title: Paul's Best Solo Album!

text: Paul's strongest solo album from 1982 finally gets the deluxe treatment with a brand new remaster along with bonus tracks. The title cut, Take It Away and Ebony & Ivory were all chart singles . While the former two were minor hits the later feat. Stevie Wonder was a massive global hit, topping the charts in both the US and UK. However this album had so many more highlights. What's That You're Doing (with Stevie Wonder) is a funky/dance workout that could've been a single contender as well. Former band mate the legendary John Lennon is remembered in Here Today. Ballroom Dancing, The Pound Is Sinking and Dress Me Up As A Robber make Tug Of War a solid album overall. A selection of bonus tracks mainly demos thatve probably never appeared before make this 2015 edition a worthy collection to your McCartney albums. The remastering overseen by Paul himself is excellent.


title: Broadcast News Soundtrack

text: I am disappointed with this CD as it only contains the background music - no individual songs. I loved the movie but am uphappy with the CD.


title: Ok

text: Ok


title: Four Stars

text: Great CD!


title: Theres no lyrics or vocals here.

text: Dont get me wrong I love trance and techno and house music.  I also love NIN but seriously this isnt and should not have been released as a NIN album, which I dont think it was really claimed to be as such, but the name is there.  Its way too mellow and dull and without Trent going on about God, politics, sex or love into the mic well, its just sounds that anyone could have made.


title: Five Stars

text: Great Music


title: Beautiful

text: I'm not Armenian but I've always been a big fan of Harout's voice. I bought this CD without hearing a single one of the songs beforehand. Though a lot of the keyboard work sounds dated, the songs are just beautiful. Surprisingly, Harout's magnificent voice does not dominate the music ~ he sings in a far more straight tone (than the first two albums I possess). Yet . . . he shows vocal versatility through this dance music by singing this way and still sounding great. This is not a techno or disco album, nor is it just his songs attached to a dance beat. The band adds a lot of fun and skill to each dance song.


title: Great Entry Point to Classical Music (+ content)

text:
Great (and affordable) set for building a foundation for a classical music collection. It will serve as a great gateway into listening to an array of composers, but chances are that many of these will over time be replaced by other interpretations of the pieces. However, a great entry point introducing numerous composers, orchestras and performers. The Cds are divided into boxes based on the type of music (e.g. Bach, Handel and Vivaldi are placed in the baroque category). In this fashion the whole set is divided into a number of standard plastic boxes housing 4-5 cds each. Each cd is generic and simply labeled with the name of the composer without any other details. The details of each recording is found on the back of each larger plastic cd box.

title: Just a Fabulous Audio Book

text: The text by Panek is bubbling with life and excitement, the details of the lives of the scientists involved making the science so much more palatable. Yet I find the greatest quality of this audio book to be the incredibly high quality of its narrator. Never a dull moment with this firm and sensitive voice that captures every emotion of the events described. Surprisingly, even the amateur like myself realizes after hearing the entire book that he understands most of the science discussed, and...just hours later, re-listens to the whole presentation to now FULLY understand it.  And, as with great movies, second time around is a charm! Soon you are addicted to the text, the voice and the science within! Phew...that's quite a feat, you will agree! I came to Amazon to buy more audio books by Richard Panek so satisfy the new addiction and sadly...could not find any! Please do something, Amazon. I'm a good client of yours!


title: Never did a thing for me.

text: I used Holosync a few years back and starting with Awakening Prologue I then went on to the first level Awakening 1. I used this product for about two years, at least 5 days a week, and completed the full 1 hour session each time. I must be honest and say it did nothing for me whatsoever. I gave it my best shot, I thought if I kept at it, one day I might have that 'aha' moment when I suddenly realised it was having some effect upon me. But no, nothing, nothing good happened, no overwhelm even, just nothing other than an hours relaxation I could have achieved by any other means.


title: Very old fashioned and charming.

text: Amazing cast and except for the needless romantic subplot, quite a wonderful story. Andrew Ray as the Mudlark is an exceptionally natural talent. Saw this movie years ago and was astonished it was still available.


title: Expensive but worth it.

text: It was a gift to a friend. Came in early enough to re-mail. Interesting accents.

title: Powerful and moving

text: This album and the three that precede it (Exile, Beat the Border, and Night to Night) are incredible. His music always transports me to another place. It’s beyond definition — hard for me to categorize since it’s a blend of so many influences. There is nothing else like it. I just learned of his death, which makes me very sad. His music has been a great gift in my life. I didn’t purchase his music from amazon but feel moved to review it here to pay tribute to a truly gifted artist.


title: Not a soundboard recording. You can barely hear the audio and none of the banter

text: This is not worthy of the price of admission. The music is Nick Lowe, Ry Cooder, who could want with that line-up! The sound is crap. I had to turn it up super loud to hear the music. Sounds like someone in the audience taped it. I was there, it sounded great in-person. This is bush-league. Don't bother, download the pirate.


title: Can't go wrong with Madonna!!

text: One of her best albums ever!!! This album is definitely in my top 5, dare I say 3?


title: A very good choice for the fan or for one who wants to know Barbra's work

text: Surprisingly well organized and an actual assembly of the Bab's best in two CDs. Soundstage is full and quality is superb.


title: ORIGINAL RECORDINGS 1966-1969

text: A fan of the "Snoopy Songs" cannot go wrong with this release.  I'm pleased to announce that the entire side of the album that featured The Stories of Snoopy and his nemesis ("Snoopy And His Friends The Royal Guardsmen") as well as the songs "Snoopy vs The Red Baron", The Return Of The Red Baron" and "Snoopy's Christmas" are exactly as originally released back in the 60's. The sound is clean and full (especially for 1960's bubblegum style music) and it seems as good as the original vinyl. The rest of the music is here, too. All the covers, originals and even more Snoopy. All the songs from all the albums. This is a fine re-release.  BTW....The album title is "Original Recordings 1966-1969"


title: AN OVERLOOKED GEM (FOR ME)

text: To be honest, I feared that this would be a collection of Dead covers that weren't up to snuff and might not even sound that great.  I waited years to buy it.  Man....was I wrong.  For starters, the sound of the recording is marvelous.  Songs like "The Music Never Stopped" which flows into "New Minglewood Blues" catch the essence of the Grateful Dead without trying to exactly duplicate what the Dead has laid down in the past.  "Loser" and "Bird Song" are both Garcia classics that Weir sings and the band plays so well that they should be Ratdog concert staples.  Some fine versions of original Ratdog material as well as GD numbers "Friend Of The Devil" and "Tennessee Jed" also please the ear.  I would rate Disc 1 a 5 out of 5 and give the second Diisc a 3, primarily because when I listen at home I would rather hear songs than "space" (unless it's one of those amazingly perfect jams). At a show, that's a different story. If you're not one of those folks who regret Bobby's presence in the Grateful Dead, you'll have a real hard time not loving this.  The band plays so well together they sound as if they've playing together for decades. While the saxophone wouldn't necessarily be my choice for a Jam-band instrument, most of the time it is pretty unobtrusive on these tracks.  I selfishly rob a star from this album because I would like to have had a few other songs in the setlist, but I don't think I've ever attended a Jam-band concert where I heard everything I wanted.  Don't be like me and overlook "Roseland", it's worth having in your collection.


title: OUTLAWS MEET BLACKHAWK.....VOCAL HARMONIES AND GUITAR SOLOS ABOUND

text: This release was a pleasant surprise when I stumbled upon it.  There really isn't anything too "demo" about any of these songs.  They all seem to be fully realized studio pieces that don't fall short in the sound department like many demos do. While the performances might be a little tentative, they're still solid Southern / Country Rock tunes.  I'll assume that these may have been laid down with some, but maybe not all of the band members present and studio players taking up the slack.  Some of the songs received a fiery upgrade on the band's next album "It's About Pride", while others can only be found on this recording.  Typical Outlaws harmonies and guitar solos abound here, but the Blackhawlk influence is ever-present as well, especially on the more Country flavored songs.  The next recording they did was indeed a step up from this one, but "Demos" is no slouch.  An Outlaws fan that "wants it all" will feel the need to own this album......I know I did.
