title: poster is fake!!!! and poster came in subpar shape

text: The album came and everything seemed to be in order but the poster came peeling off and in a different paper than the normal usual posters of Jyp stray kids. I originally did not have a lot of stray kids merch when I purchased this but I do have a lot of their offical now and the paper quality for this poster is different. I don't think this poster is the official stray kids poster, I think it is a very good knock off. I really wouldn't have known till I accidentally got a 2nd of the same poster from a reliable source, and they feel totally different and unlike the one from here it feels and look similar to the other official JYP Stray Kids merch. The photocards seem to be real and it did come with a lyric page too that also seems legit, so I don't know why the poster is fake.


title: Wonderful gateway to Handel's most beautiful melodies

text: First let me preface this review by saying that I have no training in music, don't even read music.  But when I first "discovered" Handel it was through instrumental works - the Water Music, Fireworks Suite, Concerti Grossi, etc.  I had never attended an opera or oratorio (other than Christmas program Messiahs), and to say I was reluctant to branch out into Handel's vocal/theater works was an understatement.  Then I bought this album, and it transformed my attitude and opened my mind to the amazing body of work that Handel produced through 40 or so operas and about half as many oratorios.  The melodies work best in opera - which became my favorite form of Handel's work - but they are also beautiful beyond words in a "stand alone" instrumental version.  I wish there had been a "volume 2" and a CD version!  Bravo, Richard Kapp.

title: Still one of my favorites

text: My wife and I visited Fellowship Church in Grapevine, TX back in the 90's and that is when we first heard Eric. We found that he had a CD so I tracked down his contact info, I think from the church website and I ordered a CD from him. We really enjoyed his versions of the songs on this CD. To this day I still find myself popping in this CD and enjoy it just as much as I did 10 years ago.

title: put shine the lights of love cd in print

text: While station in Guam in the mid 90's a friend introduced me to the music of Googie and Tom Coppola. I've always considered myself to have good taste when it came to pop, jazz, or soul music. After listening to the songs joyous flame and family of man from the cd I emediately fell in love with this LP. I cutt a cassette from my friend cd which I played for a decade or so.  Resently I've tried to purchase this cd to discover it's out of print.  I am sadly disapointed that jazz, soul, and pop music fans will never hear its spiritual lirics and well arranged tracks.  If the powers to be in the music world could find it in their hearts to put this cd back in print I'm sure it'll sell.


title: Enchanting, beautiful music

text: I love the beautiful music that this band makes. Every CD of theirs I have - LOVE it!


Ha, just for fun I thought I'd comment on this music.  It's funny to see the music I recorded 21 years ago being sold on amazon for $20.  If you buy it, I hope you enjoy it.  Apparently the person who is selling didn't like it enough to keep it LOL.

title: Carl Storie

text: I had been searching for this album a very long time. I would catch Carl Storie performing with the Faith Band around Indianapolis in the late 70's to the mid 80's and it was always great music. Carl's song Dancin' Shoes hit the charts very well and would have done better but he was in competition with Nils Lundgren who also released the same song at almost the same time. Carl's rendition was definitely the better of the two, in my humble opinion.


title: woderful stride piano versions of early Louis Armstrong hits.

text: Mr. DICKIE is an outstanding stride pianist, whose albums are wonderful to listen to. This album has piano versios of Louis Armstrong early hits, played with the spirit and fun of his hot 5's and hot 7's, but record ed with modern soumd quality.


title: Overlooked but awesome "Bass 4 Bassheadz"

text: A hard hitting classic that was hugely overlooked but was truly good in bass hits & music quality. One of the best kept bass-music secrets of late 1994/early 1995. Definitely worth a purchase if you're into this style of music. Just an FYI for "Bassheadz" :  the 1 track listed as a "techno" song is actually techno.

title: Great Classical Music Series Gorgeous Music

text: The cd series "Set Your Life To Classical Music", composes a variety of baroque, classical and romantic instrumental music that serves the purpose of leisure and background while you engage in the day or evening's activities. The purpose is therapeutic. There are other titles in the series, such as "Bach For Breakfast", "Beethoven For Book Lovers" "Chopin And Champagne", "Baroque For Bedtime", "Puccini and Pasta", "Mozart For The Morning Commute", the series goes on and on. It is a great way to soothe your tensions and provides stress-free, nearly New Age style music that you'd more than likely hear at a masseur's place of business. One can also make the argument that this is the music you'd hear at an elevator. What I like about all these series is that they are also a great introduction to instrumental/classical music. The ensembles performing the classical works are virtuosic and well known in world of classical performance, such as Sir Neville Marriner and St. Martin In The Fields, I Musici and the New Age, Yani-style musician, Zamfir, who specializes in rare instruments such as pan pipes.<br />On this recording, specifically designed to accompany your bubble bath, there are beautiful, slower-paced movements from Baroque flute, violin and oboe concertos. There are the Sicilian style movements of such composers as Vivaldi, Bach and Telemann. The largo from the Winter movement is a richly melodic and dreamy piece for strings, and the concluding work, Canon In D Major, is an elegant, graceful and heartfelt chamber piece that has become iconic in Baroque music. It was used in the film, Ordinary People  and is very popular in classical music for weddings. I strongly recommend all the cds in the series. They are a perfect way to get you into some of the most beautiful classical music ever written, and are a great way to involve music as the wordless, instrumental soundtrack in your life.

Lana Del Rey has a unique voice.... More precisely, her voice is gorgeous, sensual but yet innocent at the same time (wich is very rare). In brief, it is truly intoxicating to listen to her ! As for the content of her texts, what I like the most about them is that they're not superficial like some other popular artists ! Young & Beautiful, Carmen, Born to Die are such moving songs. As for the song Burning Desire, it is very sexy.
I strongly recommand that album !

title: Well kept secret

text:
Virulence is one of the most obscure SoCal hardcore bands from the late 80s. They were really just a bunch of high school kids who worshipped Blast. They're actually still around today, sort of. Shortly after releasing this album they changed their name to Fu Manchu, though it wasn't long before Scott Hill was the only remaining member from the Virulence line up.

Unfortunately, this album isn't particularly good. The songs themselves are loaded with potential, but the production is cripplingly, castratingly anemic. The drums take the worst hit... the snare sounds like someone hitting an empty Kleenex® box.

EDIT 1/19/10: This album was just re-released by Southern Lord and includes a bunch of bonus tracks, both live and unreleased studio stuff. Grab it while you have the chance.

title: A Tale Of Mathematical Sorcery And Witchcraft

text:
The latest Dark Adventure Radio Theater features one of my favorite short stories realized in a homage to the radio drama programs of the 1930's. I've listened to all of the dramas, but this is the first that I've gotten through the physical CD limited editions. While I love the dramas, I have to say that I'm blown away by the packaging, which features four replications of material essential to the story. In this case, we get reproductions of journals, newspaper articles and a museum record. The packaging is a definite A+!

The program itself is equal to the ones that preceded it. My only complaint is that the acting and sound effects have started to veer a little too far into the LOUD and histrionic; there's a lot more people screaming and bumping sounds to convey fear or horror than I would like. Still, these guys are putting together the most enjoyable and faithful Lovecraft adaptations ever, so these small quibbles hardly matter to me.

My hope is to see these continue and maybe even branching out into other authors like Bloch, Hawthorne or others that influenced or were influenced by Lovecraft. "Dreams..." Is worth the price and all the extra goodies are just icing on the cake.


title: A Wonderful Iteration Of A Blackly Humorous Tale

text:
The HP Lovecraft Historical Society have done a lot of excellent work in the past decade to bring the master's work to the forefront of pop culture, and, along with the cross-over success of Lovecraft's mythos and lore to everything from role-playing games to T-shirts, their work should be recognized for the superb quality they've out into their products. Most will probably think of their "Call of Cthulhu" film as the crowning jewel of their efforts, but I would argue that their series of throwback radio dramas (titled "Dark Adventure Radio Theater") is their best work.

This release is the adaptation of Lovecraft's "Herbert West: Reanimator", a story more famous as the basis for Stuart Gordon's cult film "Reanimator". The story isn't one of Lovecraft's best, yet it excels in this format where it's pulpy, serial style chills are given added life through superlative voice acting, spot on sound effects, and music that deftly alternates between chilling, somber and arresting.

About the only drawbacks I can think of are based on the actual story, which has it's share of racism and other uncomfortable elements. I didn't find anything offensive, but those sensitive to racist remarks and asides about Polish and Blacks might want to tread carefully. Even with this caveat, this drama is still superb; here's a ghoulish way to spend a rain-spattered night with the lights off you won't soon forget!

I should say I don't own the physical release of this product. I downloaded this from iTunes. I can't comment on the packaging and other extras; however, if their release of "Dreams in the Witch-House" is any clue to the quality, you won't be disappointed.

title: \m/ TNT \m/

text:
First, let me share that I was a young man when TNT came on the scene and I heard all their albums as they were released, and my friends and I were hooked immediately. I was also subsequently heartbroken when I heard that one of the greatest vocalist on planet earth, Tony Harnell, would be leaving one of the most innovative guitarist, Tekro, when he left TNT. I usually stick with a band I like Thru Thick-N-Thin, but I started to hear the negative reviews, and unfortunately I hesitated to purchase the albums with the new singer. Within the last year I purchased A Farewell to arms and loved it and was duly impressed with the talented new singer. A couple of days ago I purchased the much maligned Atlantis. All I can say is that there are some real moments of brilliance here. Music is super subjective, but in this listeners humble opinion this is one the freshest most innovative albums I have heard in a long time. Yes, it is more Rock than Metal, but it has Tons of melody and some very original song writing and great harmonies. You could even call this experimental in places with the albums overall "grooviness" and songs like "Tango Girl" with their Spanish flamenco thing going on. Also, there are solos and they are very tasteful. When old school band attempt to do Nu-Metal sometimes it works great & sometimes not. TNT started to venture into Nu-metal territory in some of their later releases especially on Transistor. I am not a big fan of Transistor, not because it's Nu-metal, but the song quality. Seriously, Atlantis blows Transistor away. In fact it's better than Transistor and Firefly. I LOVED My Religion, which seems to be a consensus among fans. I just started listening to this album, Atlantis, but to my surprise it is going to be one of my all time favorite TNT albums. Sure there are times where I will reach for Tell No Tales or Knights of the New Thunder, but this is genuinely inspired stuff. It must have been hard for the band to hear so many negative reviews on an album that was obviously a labor of love and wasn't cranked out in a day. People have referred to this as pop music, no doubt due to the happy light hearted tone of some of the tunes, but the melody lines and moodiness of the songs in places are way more complex than you find in most pop songs. One other thing: Many of the songs have extended jams in the middle or at the end of the songs. If you don't listen to these songs in their entirety you will miss these. There is a lot to mine hear so a quick casual listen won't give you the full picture of what this album has to offer. This is not a bang your head metal album, and believe me I hope TNT does one again soon, but for something a little different and when you want to put an album on and just shift gears slightly, this is a great way to go! Thank You TNT for continuing your journey & sharing your art!

 Groovy!

PS- I am glad that TNT has soldiered on, and I am greatful for the vocalist who have helped them carry on, but of course, there is only one true vocalist for TNT and that is of course Tony Harnell. Everything happens for a reason, but it seems like an awful waste knowing the music that won't get made as long as their apart. Not only is Tony the voice of TNT, but he is truly one of the greatest Rock/Metal vocalist of all time, not only technical ability, but also in soulfulness. I wish both parties the best what ever happens.

title: A great album of four, Billy Squier works.  A must-have.

text: I have been seeking a bonified manufactured copy of this CD since it went out of production.  I was able to get the album digitally, but want a real copy for my collection.  I like all the songs on this album, even if it is a departure from his style of 'Don't Say No', and 'Emotions in Motions', also great albums, and I think, his masterpieces.  I have nearly every Billy Squier album put out, including 'Happy Blue'.  Between this album and his first three, Tale of the Tape through Signs of Life, they are absolute 'must haves'.  I just wish they would re-release it, even if it were a short production run of twenty thousand or so, so some fans who missed getting this the first time, can get a chance again.  Literally, no one let's these go from their collections.

I loved the individual ones found on all of Ed Blazonczyk's records and now love the convenience of his CD's.  I only wish he had offered printed polish lyrics in a booklet for all his polish songs so I could sing along better.  I have been studying polish, but sometimes it's hard for me to decifer.  Ed Blazonczyk is missed, but his music lives  on.

title: A Little Disappointed

text:
This review is for the 2018 SACD Re-issue

First off, it comes in a really nice package.  The hardcover book-style case feels sturdy and includes a few photos of the band at work in the studio.  The photos are unremarkable but the postcards from the original vinyl album are lovely.  I also love the robot handshake image printed on the CD itself.  But the cover of the book case is a disappointment.  Yeah, I get the joke, but it's a muddy, ugly image and vastly inferior to the original Hipgnosis shot of the fiery handshake.  Or the original image of the phantom record salesman out in the desert. I wish they'd stuck with one of those two images.

But the main focus of this review is the overall audio quality of the 2003(?) mix used for this re-issue.

It's. . . pretty good. But to my ears (and I admit this is quite arbitrary) not as good as the 5.1 mix of DSOTM made at around the same time.  I just found that the choices of which instrument lines and sounds to move to the rear channels to be somewhat arbitrary.  For example, there are those four very distinct strums of the acoustic guitar just before the first words of Welcome to the Machine are sung.  The first strum comes out of the left rear speaker, then the next strum comes out of the right rear, then the third jumps to the front. . . left?. . . channel.  As if whoever is playing the guitar were running around my living room.  Nor did I care for a tendency of whoever mixed this version to add a slight echo to the voices of the lead singers in a couple of songs.  Thank god they didn't mess with the title track in this way, which still retains the wonderfully raw edge of Gilmour's singing.  But in some of the Shine On You Crazy Diamond sections, they went with an echo-chamber effect on the voice.  It's not bad but, like the choices for where to place various instruments, a bit arbitrary.

Admittedly, there's so much going on in this album (which is one of the things I love about it) that it must have been very hard to decide where to place everything.

The thing is, I have a quadraphonic mix from the 1970s and I like it better.  Unlike the quad mix of Dark Side of the Moon from about the same time (1970s) they didn't scrub all the bass out of it. I can only assume that someone was pissed off at Roger when they did that.  But then, from what I understand, there was almost always someone pissed off at Roger.

Anyway, I think I prefer the old Quad mix.

Just my 2¢.

title: Mozart themes on Synthesizer

text: A very pleasant take on Mozart's most familiar themes as arranged and  played by Triumvirat's Jürgen Fritz with synthesizer programming by Jürgen Fritz and Ralf Hildenbeutel.  Ralf Hildenbeutel also co-arranged some of the material with Fritz.  Fritz, a classically trained pianist, provides a virtuoso performance on all tracks.  A very rare, and pleasant CD.  It is unfortunate that there was no follow up.  It is Millennium's only CD.


title: Not what you think.

text: The CD is by a satanic heavy metal band called Warfield.  The title is Triumvirat.  Anybody expecting 70's style prog rock by the German band Triumvirat led by piano virtuoso Jurgen Fritz  will be very, very disappointed.  This is about as far from Prog. Rock as it gets.

The remastered sound overall is fairly crisp and clear.  As with recordings of the period of independent record labels, somewhat compressed but not too bad here.

These are recordings made under the production of Huey P. Meaux and released under a number of his small labels and larger ones including Tribe and eventually, Atlantic.  There is no duplication of tracks with the Atlantic CD/LP "Here Is Barbara Lynn".

Informative liner notes in small print by Bill Dahl are OK to read once or twice, but used as any kind of quick-reference information such as recording dates, labels, release information, personnel, etc., is problematic.  Other than a track list and bibliography of the liner notes nothing else is known, including track time.  If you dig deep enough into the notes, you can figure these tracks must be from 1966-75, but is that for sure?  Docked at least a star for this.

Other than that, appealing spare soul music from this period.  In an entire listening you can hear the basic evolution of soul music in general over the time span.  She has a style reminding me in a way of a less funky mid-tempo James Brown or Bettye Lavette singing pretty much all love songs.

The cover of Lazy Lester's "Sugar Coated Love" is a highlight.

And it's a story about believing in your idea even when maybe some other folks don't,
and about sticking to your guns."

It's the story of how Walton parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into Wal-Mart,
the largest retailer in the world.

The undisputed merchant King of the later twentieth century,
he never lost the common touch.

Here Walton tells his extraordinary story in his own inimitable words.

Genuinely modest,
but always sure of his ambitions and achievements,
Walton shares his thinking in a candid,
straight-from-the-shoulder style.

"
Here is an EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS STORY ABOUT A MAN whose empire was built not with smoke and mirrors,
but with good old-fashioned elbor grease." (Detroit Free Press)

title: Spectacular Array Of Sounds On One CD

text:
I was born in 1963, so I'm obviously biased. But this Time Life CD has the best collection of classic rock and roll sounds that I have ever heard on one CD! The year 1963 was such a fascinating transition, with girl groups, surf rock, and soul all emerging as forces that would shape the decade. I grew up listening to "Surf City" and "Surfing USA" but it was so great to also get the more authentic pure surf rock sound in instrumentals like "Pipeline" and "Wipeout." I also loved the two sides of the girl group sound, with the sweet innocence of Carole King's "One Fine Day" sung by the Chiffons, and then the darker, more menacing sound of the Jaynettes singing "Sally Go Round The Roses." The Drifters are here singing "On Broadway" but they sound almost like dinosaurs (I mean that in a good way) holdovers from the Fifties, in comparison to Stevie Wonder singing "Fingertips" and showing the shape of things to come. And don't forget Rufus Thomas "Walking The Dog" and the incomparably romantic ballad "Hello Stranger" by Barbara Lewis.

What a wonderful year to be born!


title: Don't Buy This, Get It On CD With All The Missing Tracks!

text: Unless you're some kind of vinyl collector, I would skip this. These days you can get both these albums on CD with all tracks included. I bought this repackaging on vinyl back in the early Eighties and I was really mad because they cut two tracks from Beach Boys Today, specifically "In The Back of My Mind" and "Bull Session With The Big Daddy." These are important tracks. "In The Back Of My Mind" is a Brian Wilson original and is full of angst and emotion. Many scholars feel it predicts his final and complete mental breakdown. It's almost chilling to listen to. "Bull Session With The Big Daddy" is basically all five Beach Boys plus Brian's first wife Marilyn eating fast food and talking to journalist Earl Leaf at the end of a late night recording session. It's a very revealing track because you can hear the way all the boys treat "Mare" as little more than a servant. That woman must have been a saint!


title: This is awful.

text: Seriously, this is really, really awful.  I listened to the first track of this over-produced train wreck and that was enough.  If  you like "Sight & Sound Theater," well, first of all, you're easily entertained, but second, you'll love this CD.  That's not a compliment.  Do you remember those horrible songs your music teacher in middle-school or the music director at your church would play off of a cassette and then the choir and the audience would have to suffer through the whole performance, unless the hand of God reached down and broke the cassette?  Yeah, that's this CD.


title: A Fantastic Collection of Tracks From Across the Globe

text:
Fans of tuneful, melodic songs of the pop rock and power pop variety (think Big Star, Cheap Trick, the Flamin' Groovies, the Raspberries, Todd Rundgren, the Who, et cetera) have found plenty to enjoy in terms of British and American releases over the past several decades. Hit after hit has managed to capture that great feeling of radio-friendly music at its best. At the same time, one might wonder what exactly has happened in terms of other countries. What's it like channeling that particularly Anglo-American sound through different local scenes, with various accents and instrumental styles putting on the own stamp on it?

Wonder no more.

Few things are more fascinating than listening to 'oldies' from other countries, and this album more than delivers. The tracks from the likes of France, Sweden, Japan, and elsewhere are an absolute delight. For me personally, I found twenty-three out of the twenty-four songs to be timeless and well worth enjoying again and again. I'd include individual highlights, but there really are too many.

Anyone with even the slightest interest in pop rock and power pop needs to check this out.

title: A Revival That Upholds the Original's Spirit

text: The success or failure of this revival rest pretty much entirely on the shoulders of performers Kelli O'Hara and Paulo Szot. Thankfully, both of them do a great job with their singing. In particular, Szot's authoritative baritone combines both romantic longing and a compelling sense of inner strength. The only flaw of this version of the musical is that the other performances aren't quite up to the same quality. Still, this soundtrack album is quite a nice listen.


title: A Great Release

text:
When it comes to compilation albums like this series, the strength of a release always rests on the choice of artists and their songs. 'Now! 36' presents upbeat pop rock such as Adam Lambert's "If I Had You" alongside Taio Cruz's fantastic club jam "Dynamite" and a bunch of other uplifting songs. Many r&b hits in particular are included.

One of the highlights is a major blast from the past: Elvis Presley's classic "Suspicious Minds" re-done as a modern power pop tune with a electronic 'oomph' behind it. This idea seems like sacrilege at first, I know, but this new version sounds incredible. The album itself is certainly worth picking up.

title: beautiful!

title: More than I expected

text: I wanted the soundtrack to the Dark Crystal for a research paper that is due after the 1st of next year. When I opened the package, I saw a write-up about the person who composed the music as well as reasons why he wrote pieces. It was more than I thought I would receive and helped me to complete my music assignment several weeks early.

title: Classic Takanaka

text: A great mix of early Takanaka’s distinctive island beat. Party time, on the beach in Rio!


title: Easy-going progressive rock band which deserves greater recognition

text: I ran into the progressive rock trio Attila and Dave Project in Arcata, CA in 2000, and consider myself fortunate to have snagged a copy of Lifeline.  Their sound will appeal to those who like bands similar to Camel and Yes.  Like those bands, expect some soaring lyrics, improvisation, and listening fun.  These gents won't blow you away, but their sound is much fuller and more developed than many rock trios.  ADP have sprinkled hints of psychedelic 60's tunes, jazz fusion, and 90's rock influences in their songs.  Several tracks, including Seven Wonders in the Sunrise, Moonlight, and Circe, and Some Saturday Blues are memorable.  Songs are a big longer than average (3 over 7 minutes), which may have kept some off the radio.  Some of the tunes seem a tad too similar to one another, but if you like prog rock and want something good and new to listen to, you just found it.

text: Autobiography of Leslie Phillips a British actor.  Interesting from that standpoint and light reading. Sounds like he is<br />telling it like it was.


title: Best Marianne Rosenberg Album Ever!

text: What an awesome album from Marianne Rosenberg...no wonder it went to #1 on the album charts in Germany. This is an all-around great album...Great songs, great lyrics, great melodies, great arrangements, great production and beautifully sung by Marianne. Marianne’s voice and lyrics shine through on every type of song, whether it’s Schlager, Europop, Jazz, Chanson, Tearjerker, Reggae or Adult Contemporary. She nails every song. In an album of favorites, my top three are Wann, Spiel das Lied Nochmal and Liebe ist Nicht Alles. (But that is just today. Tomorrow,  I might just have other favorites. Seriously, there are that many great songs on this album.)


title: Originals Often Sound Better

text: I'm usually a sucker for acoustic albums and I've been a huge fan of John Waite since his Babys days.  I just saw him on the tour for this album, which was great.  But this album is just meh.  Some of the songs, like "Head First," and "Isn't it Time," just don't translate well to the acoustic treatment in my opinion.  If you're a hard core fan it's worth checking out, but in general, the original versions are superior.  Even "Hanging Tree," one of my favorite John Waite acoustic tracks from another album, sounds better in the original version.


title: Very Satisfied

text: A nice selection of John's hits and it comes at a time when his music brings me back to a quieter time.  So glad I got it.

title: A maligned Carte Pinafore that still offers pleasures

text:
I know that this 1971 D’Oyly Carte recording of Pinafore was not well-received when Decca originally issued it on LP. I accept that the mixing, production and sound effects made it fare poorly among many listeners, especially those who were weaned on the 1959 Carte recording of the operetta. However, Decca has still put out CD issues of this recording, once in 1997 as part of its Phase 4 series and again this year as part of an Eloquence series of G&S reissues. As such listeners now have the chance to re-evaluate it and possibly redeem its standing.

I know that this recording has cawing seagulls going on during the dialogue and imbalance between the singers and orchestra. I accept that many times the singers are closely miked during their entrance numbers. However, the CD version has made it more listenable than the original LP master. Other commentators are more qualified to comment on the sound of the two CD issues in comparison to the LP. The Decca CD producers managed to turn down the intrusions in the first CD, and this Eloquence issue goes a little further, removing fake reverb from passages that were wrongly there on the first CD issue. For instance, the Phase 4 CD had reverb around the female relations during Over the bright blue sea, and the Eloquence issue removes it.

This recording is worth owning for the portrayals of the two lovers, especially Valerie Masterson as Josephine. Although she appears as a guest artist at the time of the recording, she is still exquisite in her portrayal of the role. Masterson handles the different moods of her character expertly, conveying the vulnerability in Sorry her lot and demonstrating her operatic credentials in her Act Two scena. Ralph Mason did not have the chance to record many roles as Thomas Round did, but his portrayal of Rackstraw is still dashing and complements Masterson perfectly.

I accept that John Reed’s portrayal of Sir Joseph on this recording may not feature him at his best. I accept that he is sloppy in some of his main numbers, notably his introductory song and his part in the Bell Trio. However, John Reed is still John Reed because of his inimitable way with the role. I also accept that Thomas Lawlor’s voice may be a bit too heavy and dark for the part of the Captain, but he still offers a strong performance of the role. I find that he feels more at ease as a baritone than when he portrayed some bass roles in the New Sadler’s Wells Opera recordings of G&S. Among the other performers, I find that John Ayldon is well fitted to the brooding, sinister nature of the villain Dick Deadeye, even with his gruff voice, and Jon Elison makes a lusty, supportive Boatswin in both his singing and his dialogue scenes with the sailors. Which leaves Christene Palmer’s portrayal of Buttercup. It is softer-grained than most other performers who have taken this role.

The 1959 D’Oyly Carte recording and the Telarc recording with Mackerras are front-runners among Pinafore recordings. Mackerras’s performance has made more of a success with fast, bright tempi and resilient rhythms than the tempi that Walker adopts here. However, many other Pinafore recordings have made a strong showing in recent years. The 2000 New D’Oyly Carte recording and the New Sadler’s Wells version, both on TER, are also competitive digital recordings from recent years. A surprising contender is the 2016 Scottish Opera recording on Linn, conducted by Richard Egarr, and it might complement Carte 1959 and Mackerras because of its strong, committed cast that is willing to take the G&S operettas forward into the future. I am reluctant to mention the EMI version of Sargent and the Pro Arte Orchestra, as his slower speeds, less resilient rhythms and studio-bound performances are not always to his advantage in G&S.

It would be wrong to write off this Pinafore recording, but I think it might remind us that even a less satisfying Carte recording still offers a few delights to redeem it. At Australian Eloquence price, it is still very good value. Perhaps this release might suggest Eloquence issues of the Martyn Green G&S series in the future.


title: A postwar Carte Ida that is better than its reputation suggests

text:
Although Princess Ida only enjoyed 248 performances in its original run, Sullivan's music redeems the operetta. The various D'Oyly Carte revivals have also allowed the operetta to find new audiences and redeem itself in revivals. Sometimes I like to think that this is like a gem among middle-period G&S operettas because many numbers in Act Two suggest a "string of pearls."

During the long postwar series of D'Oyly Carte recordings for Decca, they made two Ida recordings. The Carte company recorded this Ida late in their mono series and then for stereo in 1965 when Malcolm Sargent returned to guest-conduct them in his last years. This mono recording is noteworthy because it was recorded when the Carte introduced a new Ida revival after the sets and costumes were destroyed during the Second World War. The sound is so good that it could pass for a stereo recording from that era. This is actually the second CD issue that uses the Decca masters.  I know that there is a stronger cast in the later version because of Reed, Masterson and Sandford, and I know that Harwood has a stronger portrayal of Ida. However, this 1954 version has a bit more immediacy and vitality.

The contentious point of this recording is Victoria Sladen's portrayal of the eponymous lead. I know she may be out of place in a Carte recording as her voice may lack the finesse of a seasoned Carte soprano. I accept that Sladen may be strident in her rendition of her first solo, Oh, goddess wise, and in parts of the Act Two finale. However, she steps out and handles I built upon a rock and her lines in The world is but a broken toy better than her other parts. Another contentious point is Leonard Osborn's portrayal of Cyril. The other D'Oyly Carte mono recordings show a strain in his voice, but here Osborn is more seasoned to recording conditions. Looking beyond Sladen and Osborn, the rest of the cast, the chorus, the orchestra and Godfrey are all bang-on in their characterisation and their music-making. The women make up for the deficiencies in Sladen's portrayal of Ida, especially Muriel Harding as Psyche and Beryl Dixon as Melissa. The men are equally strong, starting from Peter Pratt's vivid portrayal of Gama and the three men who portray his sons. I find that I like Fisher Morgan's portrayal of Hildebrand a little more, as he is crisper and sharper, notably in his first solo.

Eloquence has included the 1954 Phase 4 Spectacular LP as a fill-up to this recording. Parts of it were originally issued with the CD issue of the 1971 Phase 4 Pinafore. However, this is the first time the LP is being issued complete and at one shot. John Reed is his usual self in all his main solos, but there are some rarities because of Alan Styler's portrayal of the Captain. I regret I am not in the position to comment on the Phase 4 Spectacular LP, as I am more attuned to the Ida recording.

It would be good if I could reflect on the future of G&S issues, notably on Eloquence. Decca has got digital versions of the recordings from the Peter Pratt and John Reed eras. The Eloquence issues of the Pratt Sorcerer and Ida have made me wonder if there might be Decca CD issues of the Martyn Green recordings. I know that these recordings contain some sloppy ensemble work and I know that many companies have issued these recordings after their copyrights expired. However, the signs suggest a complete Decca box of all the Decca D'Oyly Catre recordings.

For those who only know the better known G&S operettas, this CD issue is still finding and owning. Sladen's portrayal of the lead may be contentious, but it does not mar the entire recording, as she only takes 15 to 20 minutes of the operetta.  Overall, this recording still deserves to be heard, as it is still well-put together and still offers unalloyed pleasures.


title: Splendid remastering with minor libretto editorial quibbles

text:
As a devoted fan of CATS and this recording of this wonderful musical, I am very thrilled that Lord Lloyd-Webber has released this wonderfully remastered version of the recording. Although I will touch a little on the performances, I'd use this review to praise the remastering. The original Geffen and Polydor CDs didn't sound too good, with rather boxy sound, but this new remastering spreads out the sound much more and allows the voices to come across more vibrantly.

In my other reviews of CATS on Amazon I've mentioned that I like this Broadway cast recording much more than the West End cast recording. I do not say this to be Yankcentric, but I say this because I can sense the irrepressible energy that pours out of my speakers when listening to this version, without destroying the original British spirit of the musical. Buckley's Grizabella rivals Elaine Paige, but yet with her husky voice that makes the character more real and worn-out. Ken Page lends his solid portrayal of Old Deuteronomy, and Terrence Mann shines as the contrary Rum Tum Tugger. Harry Groener lends us an inviting portrayal of Munkustrap with his warm yet melancholic voice, and Stephen Hanan rounds out the supporting cast as Gus and Growltiger. Besides the better performances I tend to like this version of the show, as it includes the revised versions of Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer and Growltiger's Last Stand. The only quibble is that Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer do not sing their number. Yet even with the blemishes of this recording (including the cuts in the dance breaks) I tend to like this much more than the West End cast album.

The packaging is a vast improvement over previous issues, as the CD booklet is lavishly illustrated with photos of the original Broadway cast. It's like a souvenir programme in itself. However, the companion libretto booklet suffers from shoddy editorial quality. There are some mistakes scattered throughout the libretto that have been there since the original Geffen release, especially some erroneous lines in the printed lyrics of Bustopher Jones and Old Deuteronomy. Also, some lyrics do not fully utilise the entire space of the booklet pages.

These quibbles aside, the music still matters and it's a treat to hear such a wonderful recording of CATS in superb, improved sound quality. Now if only 2007 will bring a remastered version of the highlights album...

This is an awesome  CD / DVD set.  I bought this for the rare DVD's , well worth the high price I spent.  Should not be that  high.  Can't believe Taylor has not ever released a DVD Video collection, or even more  live recent concerts.

I was expecting a Live 1989  DVD / videos  for sure !!!  What happened ?!?


title: A Perfect Tribute CD

text: I have always loved the Cranberries.  Dolores was so good, can't believe she is gone.  This  CD is 20 of their best songs, over the full span.  Sound quality is great, but the volume is on the low side.  Kind of odd , you need to play it LOUDER !!!  Also, try & get the STARS  DVD videos, that is the BEST  !!!


title: Iowa's best kept secret. Treat yourself!

text:
Roy Linton (1952-2007) was one of Iowa's best kept secrets. His songwriting ranks among the best in the music world. (For disclosure, I was a friend and fellow musician in the mid 1990s. I had no part in this CD.)

This CD is definitely blues-influenced rock; the shows promoting this CD featured many blues and blues rock classics as well as material from the album.

I saw the song title "Iowa," and I wondered how anyone could make the state name into something poetic or lyrical, and Linton not only found a way to do it, he recorded a song that the State of Iowa should have taken as its official tourism promotion song.

Linton was a Vietnam vet, serving in the US Marine Corps, but his music is critically optimistic of what we are doing to our country environmentally, socially, economically, even criminally. Song titles like "America the Horrible" and "Righteous American" make it clear he pulls no punches in describing the ways we have splintered into a dysfunctional society, but he also offers optimism and solutions. We have choices to "Save the World or Kill It," as one title puts it. "I don't like you and you don't like me, but we don't have to be enemies" is another example from Righteous American.

Linton also shows humility and love in his music. "Jail" is his accounting of many of his own mistakes, showing how he saw himself as part of the problem, though he also wrote about how to be part of the solution. His songs call for social change, but on a very personal level is his song "Ruth," which was written for his mother and sister, both named Ruth. He speaks of eternal love, youth, and beauty with the honesty that can only come from a sincere heart.

I am privileged to have been his friend, but his music stands well on its own, and I still play this CD often.


title: Pretty good for a first time back

text: I was a huge Petra fanatic in the 80's, and couldn't wait to hear the classic lineup again. I was even thinking about going back to Tennessee to see their first reunion concert. This effort, however, sounds like a band just trying to figure out how to play the songs again. They have made some production decisions which take things into the realm of elevator music at times. The re-treads fail to live up to the energy and vibrancy of the originals in most cases. I want to hear more new material, of which there are only two songs on this album: Back to the Rock, and Too Big to Fail. Both are feel-good rock-n-roll at its best.


title: No David Crowder

text: I ordered this CD because I thought it had a certain David Crowder version of You Alone on it.  It did not have that song at all, so I was not satisfied with my purchase.


title: An Old School Symphony

text:
PRINCE no es muerto!

It's not that we didn't follow, and learn to love in some ways the many permutations of you.  All the adventures you've taken us on have given us new ways to appreciate music and lyrics we never would have otherwise.

But this... this is something special.  This is a masterful gem of old school sound paradise -- a mix of all the eclectic, fantastic, delightful signature Prince sounds from BEFORE Purple Rain -- a whole planet of memories I never thought I'd hear Prince add significant fresh material to ever again.  But now... an entire album of 'em.  Here it is!  Thank you, Prince, for answering my great unspoken wish!

The more I listen to this, the more it grows on me and gets into my skin.  The more I realize it's not just a tribute (although Prince winks at us plenty with references to the old material), it's a true addition to a canon Prince began at the start of his career and departed from after Purple Rain (and even with Purple Rain, if we are honest).

I am speechless with joy that Prince finally found this road back to his roots.  Lyrically, musically, sonically, creatively, and impishly, this album fits right alongside the old school masters For You, Prince, and 1999.

Like many people over the years I began to believe Prince's best days might have been long past... a nice breakout hit here or there, but maybe too far gone to really remember or recreate the magic of times long gone.

Wow, was I ever wrong.

title: Dana Dawson - severely underrated singer

text: Dana Dawson is one of the few genuinely talented singers who has been overlooked for the more "trendy" singers of her time. Her voice is very expressive in all the songs, and her being an actress, it helps her portray different characters in her songs. The song, "You Are My Baby" contains Dawson's subtle, soft, cooing vocals of a woman in love who misses her man. Some Marylin Monroe-like moaning can be identified in the background in this song, much like Donna Summers "Love To Love You." "Touch Me" reveals Dawson's more mature side as well.  "Intentions" has Dawson portraying an innocent teenager who wants to be sure of where her boyfriend's intentions. Here, her voice is softer and  simpler. No fancy belts or melismas. Dawson shows off her gospel singing in "Sad Sad Songs", "Dignified" and "Salvation", in which she belts out high notes with the greatest of ease, as well as using smooth head register vocals to contrast the load chest register vocals. In conclusion, she is extremely talented and is able to portray various characters using her voice.

There were simple instructions on it that I had not expected but I complied to the instructions. Well, to make a long story short, I don't remember falling asleep. It was really an excellent relaxation tool that I could even use in my counseling practice. I strongly recommend this if you could really use some relaxation accompanied with a good sound sleep. I failed to mention that I have great difficulty falling to sleep during the day time; when I fell sound asleep.

I have not heard the full set issues of these final Evans live things, but I felt satisfied with this one being the representative sample.
I heard BE live five times in my life, once at the final Vanguard sets. These late recordings are wonderful, and the sound is good to fine. I wish the drums were mixed up higher, so the percussive aspect of the beat was more prominent. Other than that, if you want late live Evans for cheap, this is THE Item. 88melter

text: This is a great collection that I listen to again and again. It will remain a key part of my collection.


title: Gran compra, Gran Vendedor!!

text: Estoy muy contento de haber comprado esta colección. Vendedor muy serio. Recomendado.


title: Classic

text: First album I heard as a kid. Love Jeff Beck, but this one has an endearing place


title: A mix of mystery and supernatural

text:
A wonderful light read, mixing a wee bit of supernatural and other to make this a fun read.

It was read on a public radio station and my sister asked about finding it (she's older and doesn't have a computer) and was delighted to get the book.


title: Excelente, magníficas rarezas de jazz

text:
Irma records es el equivalente europeo a Verve records de Estados Unidos, son el referente más importante del jazz en Europa. Sus compilaciones de jazz son un auténtico festín de música exquisita, aunque lamentablemente muchas de sus colecciones clásicas ya están descontinuadas. pero es una delicia gozar del jazz de loa álbums de Irma records.

The delivery was O.K. Excellent!


title: very nice

text: i do like her work. got this one and another, then went and bought the discography.  the songs are better than the ones in her other english language disc (invisible); the S Club 7 just isn't her style.


If you are a Haggard fan, you will really like this, well produced and his voice was great.


title: Wonderful, Great cd

text: Great cd! Love all the smoke sessions, wonderful jazz from talented musicians! Sound is always the best.


I've loved the Williamsons since hearing them in the mid-90's.  Wish they were still together but kids, they do grow up.


title: like EMM, In September

text: Having seen this band a few times back when this CD came out, it brought back some strong memories of a time and place. I always thought they could've been bigger but for whatever reasons, they weren't. It still makes me smile, though, when I listen to some of my faves on this CD, like EMM, In September, Silence, Parallel Dream, and their version of Both Sides Now. I've read that the CD is a rarity but I just bought it on amazon for a reasonable price, so don't be deterred if you're looking for it, you can find it :-)


title: Really Like His Music

text:
I don't really write about books or music because I don't feel I write very good reviews about them. But, I see this doesn't have any yet and I want to see this guy do well.

I met Doug a couple times at Shannon Brewery in Keller, TX when he played their annual "been in business this long" celebrations. It's been a treat each time. He's easy going and fun to listen to. It's kind of country and southern rock without being stereotypical filler. I have another album where he is "Douglas Kent" instead of Dough Kent and It Must Be Love is easily my favorite. Heck, it's actually one of my favorite albums in general to listen to and I have a lot of albums.

It's just easy to listen and immensely enjoyable to sing to. My favorites are From the Start and Corner of My Mind. Hope to see him again in person and see more albums coming out!


title: Excellent used condition

text: Excellent condition and a great price for a special edition of this album.

title: bon jovi is so inspiring and insightful.

text: i💝bon jovi i've been a very big fan all of my, life i'm still learning about bon jovi and it's, exciting finding unreleased songs or albums, i never new about makes me😄.


title: heads up ....

text: this is an excellent collection of polkas,  but having bought two copies at different times from different sellers, I'd like to warn all potential buyers that the music listed on the CD and on the jewel box MAY NOT be the music you'll be hearing.  Both the CD's that I received contain music from a separate collection called "Polka Party"... also by Lawrence Welk and Myron Floren... really good,  but not what you're probably expecting thanks to incorrect labeling from Ranwood.


title: I absolutely LOVE Prince.

text: I absolutely  LOVE Prince....he is my favorite artist sience his very first Album in 1978 but out of all the songs on this CD I only like 3 but will keep it as part of my collection. .Rest In Peace Prince. ❤ 🌹


title: The best of both worlds!

text: This is a terrific CD!  I so enjoyed listening to Tom singing along with American country stars in both English and German.  Hear him sing with Waylon Jennings, the Bellamy Brothers, Moe Bandy, EmmyLou Harris, David Allan Coe, Lynn Anderson, Bobby Bare, Buck Owens, Dave Dudley, Willie Nelson, Don Williams, Ed Bruce and more!  It's especially helpful if one is interested in learning nuances of the spoken German language.  Plus, it's just a lot of fun to listen to!


title: Stark Deserves More Accolades For His Creative Music

text: Bruce Stark writes beautiful and creative piano music. His compositions resemble no one else. His music genre falls into the new age category, but these aren’t aimless spacey tunes; Stark writes coherent compositions with a new age twist. Highly recommended.”


title: Excellent listening music to calm nerves b4 bec

text: 😌 relaxing and calmness of mind.


title: It lives in my Heart 😌

text: The music deeply touched my heart. Mr. Tucker has beautiful devotion and dedication.  Even though I am Christian I am going to Kol nidre service with my Jewish friends.  Thank you all for making this available.  Marge Naccari.


title: Better than current pop in the US; J-POP rules!

text: J-Pop at its' finest, these girls can play very well, great musicianship, fun songs even if you don't understand Japanese.


This cd it doesn't bring origainal singers.

title: Love it!

text: Great condition and I love the vinyl sound for this album!


title: Great album!

text: Great representation of his talent and personality.


Hands-down one of THE best psychedelic records of all time. Recorded in 1969 - the music is undeniably fantastic.... Never gets old after repeated listens, there's so many layers to this thing, it's amazing... put it on and watch your walls melt!

title: Best ever

text: All my favorites on one CD Great value


title: Two great sounding concerts from Elvis.

text: This cd features two Elvis concerts, one from January 1970, the other from February 1970.  Both concerts from the International Hotel in Las Vegas.  The sound is excellent and Elvis is in fine form.  Highly recommended.


title: Recommended for the serious Elvis fan.

text: Just a talking album with Elvis onstage.  Worth the cost for serious fans.

text: Great recording studio stuff.  Fun to hear Elvis working on his well known songs, talking between takes with the musicians and others in the room.


title: Very good moments you'll remember.

text: Not all of it is good, but some parts are exceptionally impressive. Worth it.


title: Very nice arrangments.

text: Well recorded and good arrangements.


title: A fine jazz guitar duet

text:
If jazz guitar duets suit your taste you will probably enjoy this one.  Mixed electric and acoustic;  great compositions; the players sharing the spirit of each tune.

There are 3  Abercrombie compositions, all recorded previously: Even Steven, Paramour and Ralph's Piano Waltz.  If you've followed JA over time you know that he has recorded Ralph's many times.  It's a great tune and this version does as much justice as any. Because of the duet nature here, he contributes more solo time than he has on some previous dates.

Not coincidentally I suspect, there is a Ralph Towner composition here, Tramonto, which he recorded with Gary Peacock. There is also a Collin Walcott tune, The Silence of a Candle.

Frank Haunschild contributes two jems. Italian Ocean Song and Sabine's Guitar Bossa.  He is not much known here in the US. Our loss.  http://www.frankhaunschild.de/englishversion/bioen.htm

Abercrombie's play is relaxed. A slightly different tone from the quartet recordings he was doing with Marc Feldman on ECM at the time, certainly none of the edgy drive that he summoned up for his outings with Gateway.  In some ways it has more in common with his early solo release, Characters.

Compared to his famous duets with Ralph Towner, it's not easy to describe.  This is many years later.  His style has evolved and Towner is such a unique voice that whatever he does bears his stamp.  But these two guitarists seem to have the same kind of like-mindedness that made the Towner duets work so well.

There is also a bit of work on acoustic (most notably on Tramonto), something we don't get enough of from JA.

One thing to note is that there is not a lot of mutual improve, with the two playing off of one another.  A good thing, IMO, as too often that sort of thing comes off as mutual noodling that easily breaks down.  Much of this is trading comp-and-solo, with each player supporting the other (and comping is an art in itself) There is some of the mutual noodling, notably in the opening standard, Alone Together and a few places, but it is restrained and comes off well.

The recording (from 2004) places JA in the left channel and Haunschild in the right. The liner notes are in German and English, but get a magnifying glass.

This ships from England very quickly and at a reasonable price. Get it while you can.


title: My two-year-old daughter insisted that we listen to this CD ...

text: My two-year-old daughter insisted that we listen to this CD for about 5 hours straight on a recent road trip.  The fact that I didn't lose my mind is a testament to the quality of the music.


title: Best Ever

text: This is the BEST seasoning I’ve ever had. I keep it stocked at all times.


title: The music is different than their other CD's in a good way. Still the same theme but their "Origin" ...

text: Just buy it. The music is different than their other CD's in a good way. Still the same theme but their "Origin" I think of it as non-commercial, It's a "demo." You will love it. My favorite of the 5. You will read a lot about free downloads and I think that's perfectly legit but if you want a cd to hold in your hand this is it. Why you came here to start with. It's worth the $40 for what you are getting. New in a jewel case and art from Amazon a reliable source and no risk of scratches to the case or the disk. Two warnings, there are a couple of songs that SOUND like scratches. They are not as I listened again and again (I do that every day) It's intentional, part of its character that they wouldn't be allowed to do on future albums. 2nd warning. DO NOT buy "Origin" by the group Origin. When I was searching keywords "Evanescence" + "Origin" I found a CD with a red cover and similar artwork and the word "Origin"  I was so excited I bought 2!!! With titles that mention "vomit" I knew this wasn't Amy Lee. I complained to Amazon that was deceitful but I see they've left it in there. Amazon was good enough to let me return them. Ok, on Origin by Amy Lee, I want a second copy, I would buy it again, and would (am) recommended it to anyone. Any Evanescence Fan or person who enjoys good music, Just buy it

title: Greatest vocal prodigy of all time

text:
When I first discovered Jackie on Youtube 6 years ago I was astonished by her talent.  The video that caught my attention was one in which she sang  "Wishing you were somehow here again" from Phantom of the Opera at the age of 7 (though the last time I checked there was some dispute in her family as to whether she was 7 or 8).

In addition to her absolutely perfect voice, she had the unique and astonishing talent of sounding like an adult at the age of 9.  Even more to my amazement was that at age 9 she sometimes sounded like an adult, at the age of 10 she usually sounded like an adult, and by the age of 11 it was difficult to tell that she wasn't an adult. But what really convinced me was the fact that she had no singing lessons.

After listening to her acapella rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro I had an overwhelming gut feeling that she was the greatest vocal prodigy of all time. For this reason and because I thought it would brighten a young girl's heart for a complete stranger to sponsor her fundraising effort for her first album ("Prelude to a Dream").  I am now one of (if my count is accurate), 12 people who own an autographed picture of her from that Indiegogo fundraiser around ... hmm, when was it?  2009?  Has it really been 6 years?

This album is a perfect sequel to her other astonishing albums.  Though she sometimes struggled a little to maintain the voice of an adult at the age of 11, it now comes naturally and I sense no struggle or strain at all in her voice.  I think she has the most  perfect voice of anybody I've ever heard.  I'm also glad to see that her heart chilling high notes that left me awe-struck, almost incapacitated by the sheer glory and majesty, are still very much with her.  In fact, it raises goose bumps and leaves me in a state of ecstasy even more so now.

It's also interesting to know that most of the songs she sings are amongst some of my all time favorites, even though some of them are Opera and I'm not particularly an Opera fan.

Trust me, this album is very, very, worth listening to.


title: Five Stars

text: Especially like the Forever Country medley.  The three songs are perfect together.


title: Awesome

text:
Incredible cd.

Mainly want to say:  You can buy this new for 15 dollars off of Jimbo's website.  Don't pay a ripoff artist 40 bucks for an used copy.


title: Brings the Horror Into my Head(phones)

text: Among the several HP Lovecraft CD's this is one of the most eerie and wonderful. I have been a reader of Lovecraft books since I was a child (about 70 years ago) and it is exciting to have gained access to another dimension of his storytelling. The voice actors are splendid and the mood is kept throughout the telling.


title: Johnny Mathis

text: Love the album. I have been looking for this particular one as I have very fond memories when this album came out.


title: I miss these guys

text: Caught them opening for Storyville a while back.  They blew me away!  I couldn't belive what I was hearing.  I bought a CD at the show, but I have no idea where it is now.  Wish I could find one.  Listen to this CD, catch one of their rare reunion shows and you'll wonder how this band never made it big.


title: Looking for this everywhere!

text: I had been looking for this item everywhere. So happy to find it on here. The strange thing is I could not find it in an Amazon search. I found it on a search on another website and it linked me to the Amazon listing.  This is the Japanese release of her US album After the Storm. It contains the song “What My Heart Says” from the MTV movie Love Song. That is why I wanted it. I was like a kid in a candy store when I received it in the mail! I think my son got tired of me listening to it.  So happy with this purchase.


title: Very good compilation

text: This is a very good compilation of songs representative of the time. We came of age during the folk era. The songs in this collection bring back memories of our youth when we all thought we could make the world a better place. Did we? What will folks say about that brief period of time fifty or a hundred years from now?


title: Finally!!!

text: I might be a little biased because this is one of my most favorite movies of all time  but the music is simply hauntingly beautiful. I have been hoping, wishing and continuously looking for a copy of the score from the movie!  It took them thirteen years for them to release it and it took me thirteen and a half years to finally get it! (I kind of gave up looking for it)  I can't believe it took them so long to release the sound track but I am so glad that they finally did. The whole score is here plus unreleased alternatives and extras. If you love the movie as much as I do, get it! You will be so glad that you did.


title: Serene totally captures tranquillity of Bali

text: Ive had this CD for years. Its timeless and it takes you ti a state of tranquility. I visited Bali many years later after I discovered this music CD and now eith the experiences in Bali: the rice terraces, the people, Raja Ampat, scuba diving - it makes for a complete listening and reminiscing experience. I love listening to this during meditation or just relaxing out in the backyard with a cup of tea or coffee or while reading a book. Amazing musician! Really love this collection.


title: Don't waste your money on any of these.  Buy the REAL originals

text: These albums are misrepresented.  They may be original artists HOWEVER they are not the original versions - in most cases - that you've come to love.  They are versions left on the cutting floor for good reason.  The artists made another and better version that became popular.  Some have plain horrible sound.  Don't waste your money.


title: he remains one of America's greatest conductors.

text: I went back and listed to this recording again during the past week to celebrate the Jewish New Year. 5775. And, once again, this recording sends chills down one's neck to their feet. Merrill is superb, and with Lenny we're again reminded (even thought recording is 50-plus years old), he remains one of America's greatest conductors . . . . hands down.<br />This recording is also available on CD. I'm sure Amazon has it.


title: An incredible LIVE recording of The Stones at their Zenith musically that was finally made official

text: (I precede this with a WARNING: I do NOT know if this is an official version or if the seller is selling a CDR. I DO NOT KNOW. I am only reviewing the recording of 'Brussels Affair'. NOT THIS PRODUCT WHICH I HAVE NOT PURCHASED FROM AMAZON.)<br />The photo above is the actual cover of 'Brussels Affair' before the 'Me-Too' movement turned everyone into eggshell walkers - Even The Stones. A friend of mine was told that 'Bedspring Symphony' was a better recording but I sent him both and he had his mind set BEFORE he listened to either. You should never try to change someone's mind about the music they like. If they like - they LIKE it but feelings aside Brussels is a far superior product because of what it offers. Depending on the version you get of Brussels there is 6 more tracks on this version of Brussels than are on Bedspring (which isn't always better to that I offer 'The Who: Sell Out', which was perfect with the original 13 tracks and none of the additional 9 were even close to the same quality which is why they were left out originally). This version has 15 tracks & Bedspring has 10 tracks but track 10 is an Interview with Charlie & Mick - which is marvelous but it should have not taken the place of music. Since Bedspring is not here you do NOT have to make that choice. JUST BUY THE DAMN THING CUZ IT'S WONDERFUL


title: Hoo-Rah !!!!

text: Also available on CD.Sinclair was a longtime iconic Canadian radio broadcaster and newspaper columnist. He wrote and recorded this 45rpm vinyl single in defense of America back in the 1970's, countering the snobbish resentment (latent jealousy?) of America by SOME Canadians.  It struck a strong responsive chord with me when I first heard it and it still does. You can find it with sound and/or a printed version on Youtube.  I have a treasured copy of both.


title: Very good

text: This is an excellent collection.  I would love to see the double album Black Magic Woman, which has an even better set of Peter Green recordings on it, be released as a CD but so far it has not.  But this CD is very good and has some great tracks on it.


title: This is a wonderful CD set

text: This is a wonderful CD set. It's too bad that it is out of print. I remember when it was first out that I wanted it but I never did get it. Years later, my wife found a set on Amazon and gave it to me as a birthday gift. It's excellent.


title: The Brooding Foursome's Classic

text: Their first self-production effort gets right to the point. Coupled with the acquistion of Elvis Presley bassist Jerry Scheff, the band has never gotten so loose. Jim Morrison is the allegorical presence in "The Changeling" and the band has never been so fortified with funk. Nonetheless, the heart of this record stems deep from the blues. The band's blues impulses are at their most stirring on "Cars Hiss By My Window" and on their cover of John Lee Hooker's "Crawling King Snake". Guitarist Robbie Krieger is a blues natural and Jim's voice seems that of the older bluesmen that he's always admired. Moreover, he sounds drained by fate and fame. Just play "Hyacinth House" and ask yourself if there's ever been any clearer message for his escapism. Ray Manzarek's jazzy piano work on the unsettling "Riders on the Storm" is him at his performing best. Towering above everything else is "L.A. Woman" itself, a compelling metaphor in which Jim addresses his weariness in the changing nature of his adopted city. This nearly eight-minute masterpiece is set to hard rock that erupts and you can't help but run away with it. What a swan song for this foursome!


title: The World's Greatest Band Raids the Vaults Again

text:
I was really rubbing my palms for this one. For this would cover the period where the Beatles were expanding contemporary music to its furthest limits. Unfortunately, the quintessential pop band's legacy is proven more finite here.

Among the missing is a jaunty, acoustic-only and vocal of "We Can Work It Out" with Paul solo and a great version of "Across the Universe" that came from the "Lost Lennon Tapes" series. Worse, there's some serious rewriting of history. "12-Bar Original" is poorly expurgated from the original bootleg that ran twice as long. The strings only of "Eleanor Rigby" and "Within You Without You" appear to be the same takes as from the original releases. Another drawback is that too many alternate versions are similar (and inferior) to the masters.

But because they were so great, some of that Beatles brilliance survives. I especially like the 1965 live cuts. The alternative take to "Norwegian Wood" garners points with George's sitar sounding like a far-eastern trance. The sessions that spawned this version of "And Your Bird Can Sing" is fun. Heaven knows what John and Paul must have consumed before the session. Incidentally, George is at his Byrdsian best here and Ringo holds down the backbeat amazingly well. Above all else, the three successive versions of "Strawberry Fields Forever" offer a superb evolution of this most complex piece of psychoanalysis.

The catchy "Real Love" makes for a stronger "virtual reunion" than "Free As A Bird". But it does sound more Beatle-esque than actually the Beatles. Who let Jeff Lynne in anyway?


title: The Beatles Raiding of the Vaults. ***1/2

text:
Released in conjunction with the ABC-TV documentary, these previously unissued recordings capture the Beatles on a voyage and working diligently on a formula to change the world of modern music forever. By the time they appear on Ed Sullivan's show, game over. They conquered the youth and some adults. Existing rules were laid to rest.

The chronology makes sense. All of the live recordings are a valuable addition to their legacy, especially the 1963 recordings in Sweden. When John sings a fervid "Money" with pared-down backing, he(they) prefigure punk by at least three years. They're still starving artists. The sardonic wit that introduces a few of the numbers is priceless, especially John's intro to a great "Twist and Shout". And their hilarious skit that segues into a mash-like "Moonlight Bay" is a hidden classic. Beyond the live material, you get a great Pete Best-era instrumental, "Cry For A Shadow". There's a rollicking take of "Can't Buy Me Love" that I may even prefer to the original. But most welcome of all is that killer version of the long-bootlegged "Leave My Kitten Alone", which should have nudged off "Mr. Moonlight" in contention for a slot on "Beatles '65" or "Beatles For Sale" in the first place.

There's peripheral stuff included here to be sure. The Decca audition is lackluster. The primitive home demos, like that of "In Spite Of All Danger" and the false starts to say "No Reply" work strictly as historical artifacts, but they don't hold up to repeated scrutiny. Taken as a whole, this can be an audio delight in low doses. Recommended unequivocally to completists but for the casual listener get their core catalogue first. ***1/2 stars

P.S. Get the must own Beatles Anthology DVD. *****

title: Great live DBQ performances, beautifully recorded. If you're a fan, you want this CD.

text: What a fantastic find in the vaults!  This disc contains marvelous live performances captured during the final year of the "classic" Dave Brubeck Quartet.  The sound quality is spectacular -- a binaural "you are there" kind of experience.  Captured during the same Mexico City tour that produced the "Bravo! Brubeck!" LP (released three decades earlier), it is a wonderful companion piece to that album. In my opinion, this is one of the top 3 live DBQ albums ever -- along with "At Carnegie Hall" and "In Amsterdam" (which inexplicably remains unreleased on CD, nearly a half century later).  It includes the only commercially released recording I'm aware of of the classic quartet playing "Sweet Georgia Brown," as well as the longest (and best, IMO) extant Columbia-released version of "Forty Days."


title: Stunning minimal mix on the Balance series' EQ Recordings label.

text:
Two DJ's relatively unknown outside of Australia were chosen by the Melbourne nightclub Honkytonks, to deliver a two disc set celebrating the last of the club's existence.  They closed on New Years Day, 2007, and this was a late '06 CD release to coincide with the closing.  Mike Callander and Aram Chapers mixed both on turntables and their mixing and track selection are flawless.  For a club known for plenty of dancing and wild costume parties, this mix is more geared toward a melodic, after party sound, fitting for the "last dance" of this venue.  While neither rise up to dance floor shaking status, both are streaming with track after track of quality minimal and tech house, that keeps the excitement and interest level at an all time high.

I really can't pick the better of the two discs, are both are without a bad track in sight.  I may lean toward Aram's only because he closes the set in such melodic fashion with Ricardo Villalobos' now 4-year-old, but still stunning track Dexter.  It's a perfect final track that can bring about emotion in the listener, even never having experienced this club.

This is one of the hardest to find releases of the past year, as I had to get it direct from Australia myself, and I've never seen it in any local stores.  It's well worth tracking down, as it's one of the finest two disc minimal mixes I've listened to.

text: Aside from the totally confusing title, "Greatest Hints" (which confused people into thinking this was an album of hits they'd somehow missed), this stands as a solid time capsule of MSB just before they made it to the medium-time. A must-have for anyone who likes the MSB period between Stagepass and North Coast. This album marks the debut of keyboardist Kevin Raleigh, who would help shape the band's direction toward pop on their very next album, Heartland. If you went to an MSB concert in the 80s, you'll recognize a few of the songs from this album, including "Last Night," "Promises," "Beautiful lies" and "We're Not Strangers Anymore."


title: A must-have for Eagles fans ...

text: If you can only buy one collection of Eagles live recordings, this is it. In fact, most of the commercially available (broadcast) recordings are included in this single collection. Spans the bands career arc from pre-Walsh to Hell Freezes over.


title: Excellent album!!!

text: So good, so catchy. I'm excited for Clare's debut.


title: Almost Perfect

text: To be fair this official bootlegs should be released as one and with a standard price. Otherwise great renditions of his best and most versatile songs. A must for Lindley fans. A delicate balance of Americana. Yes, even better than the real thinga...


title: Smooth playing and singing rhythm and blues

text: by to kool white cats. 2too bad is not available at a reasonable price. I got a copy thanks to Grooby Rancelot. It's very good. 2wo guitars and two good blues voices and you have a little gem. They should release it again, is worth the listen. A bunch of well covered covers. As i said, little gem... To become a cult classic...
