title: Must Have for Fans

text:
Such a great and meaningful album. I'll admit I did not like her previous album at all, what got me into Katy Perry was her debut album which was such a different pop/rock album with many catchy and meaningful tunes. It's definitely going down as one of my favourite albums of all time. This album is very different than the others, it has a lot of ballads, and I do mean a lot, but this album still remains great! My favourite songs on the album are: Walking on Air, Unconditionally, Legendary Lovers, Birthday, Dark Horse and Roar.

The Zinepak is great, the CD looks better than I expected, I thought it would be plain silver but it's a very reflective silver, very reminiscent of a PRISM. There are lyrics for every song on the album, short little messages, inspirations and dedications which were great to read. I definitely recommend this pack if you're a Katy Perry fan. Great value and you girls get a lot of extras: 3 Tattoos, Nail Decals, a Prism Planter, a Sample for Killer Queen and a PRISM patch. It's a shame there's no extras for me really, except for maybe the PRISM planter haha, but whatever it was worth it for the many pages of beautiful pictures and lyrics.

text: Nice.


title: Three Stars

text: Ok


title: Too Much Bass

text: I waited years for a digital release of The Voices of East Harlem album.  Papersleeve did an outstanding job reproducing the original album cover.  Everything  is well done.  The only thing wrong is the BASS FREQUENCIES ARE TOO LOUD.  I just cannot enjoy the music as well as I want.


title: Awesome CD!!

text: On this project Marcus Johnson gives us a wonderful creation for the winter season. Although this is not a Holiday CD, it has the feel of needing to be heard on a wintery night, snuggled in front of the fire with your favorite beverage and someone (the holiday season). This artist is a music LEGEND with many, many wonderful music projects under his name. This one is no different. It is a MUST-HAVE for any smooth jazz library. Listen to the keys of Marcus Johnson and be prepared to be entranced.


title: Yet another great one from Ragan!

text: Another great CD from one the most creative flutist of our time. Treblemaker is another wonderful piece of work from Ms. Whiteside, complete with ballads and collaborations. All the cuts on this CD display Ragan's great talent as she takes you through the many different moods. "Love Song" will have you turning the lights down low, while  "See You At The Get Down" will certainly make you want to shake-a-tail-feather. This piece is definitely music library worthy.


title: Terrific, clean relationship humor

text: It is a shame that comics like Rex Havens and Jeff Allen aren't on TV more often. Both deal brilliantly with relationship humor with biting insight and leave you rolling in the aisles. This CD by Havens contains some of his most famous bits and is hilarious. Everything I've heard by him is highly recommended!


title: C D played as it should.

text: Musics was great.


title: Four Stars

text: On time music.


title: Four Stars

text: Glad I purchased great for my collection


title: Rage hard you little Frank-ites.

text: Needed a remastering cd badly as the volume on my original was good but I wanted over the top clarity as I record custom (best of) cds for myself.  Wasn't disappointed.  Lots of worthless lengthy remixes but no worries. The sound is dead on.


title: Bauhaus gets a resurrection from its lead vocalist and it's commendable!

text: Peter Murphy plenty missing his old band mates has gone ahead and done a note for note Bauhaus live set without them. The real plus here is the live inclusions from the Go Away White lp. Although this is a simply a live covers album I am a huge fan and Peter gives it his all. Daniel Ashs guitar is sadly absent but this is  a loyal attempt nonetheless by Mr. Murphy who has donned his Bela cape hopefully not for the last time.


title: Cute stuff if your 14.

text: A for effort.


title: Better than Simon and Hall I guess.

text: After the first few tracks I just had to turn it off. But an A for effort absolutely.


title: A life lost too soon.

text: Beautifully produced remasterings of Freddie's solo work. A crass cover should have been rethought but it's the music that rings true.


title: Love this music

text: After I got the identical set of CDs stolen, I knew had to replace them.  They are very relaxing to listen to while at work. I will definitely keep an eye on this new set.


title: Great for Zumba

text: Love Shakira!  This is one of her greatest songs, and so much fun to dance!  Very energizing to exercise to.


title: The good and the bad.

text: The great hits of yore are wonderful. The rest is mediocre filler. Listen accordingly.


title: Nimbus well represented!

text: The selections are well balanced, and have the Nimbus sound--the best company ever for transferring 78s to a more accessible medium.


title: Disappointingly deceptive!

text: The music is wonderful; I know this from having heard this CD-set before. But this set is in Japanese, and it isn't even a workable mixture of English and Japanese. Plus the numbering of the works is odd; I have never encountered whatever indexing they are using. I have several Japanese friends, but I don't want to have to invite them over every time I listen to this CD-set to help me find what I want. The seller was being intentionally disingenuous, in my opinion, by not showing the back of the CD set in the ad. Thank you Amazon for letting me return it.


title: Stellar Mozart!

text: Klien and his group are absolutely the best on these pieces. Get it in whatever format you can find if you like these pieces.


title: Canadian, pleasant, sometimes banal.

text: I followed Vasik's career even before she went into country, having some exposure to her early excursions into jazz. She has verve and uniqueness, but oddly inserted limitations in her range, finesse, and accuracy. Her star fell, and while many of us appreciated her and still do, one can see why she was unable to stay at the top.


title: Irish wine?

text: An excellent musician, with an approach that sometimes is more folk than Irish, but with a few exceptions is very pleasing.


title: Love the music; love the memories it brings to me.

text: I have an old LP and loved it then ( 40 years plus) and now wanted to get it on my ipod.  Amazon made it easy to do that.  OH, what memories!<br />sjh in sw Florida

title: Madonna's Best Album To Date

text:
The *Best* Madonna album ever! My favorite Madonna album was a tie between Confessions & Hard Candy. After buying this album on iTunes on Oct. 1, 2015 and after listening to this for the past few days I LOVE this album. This is my favorite Madonna album to date.

The entire album flows together. I got mad at myself for having waited so many months to buy this album.

My favorite songs are Living For Love, Unapologetic Bitch, S.E.X., Messiah and Rebel Heart. To me those are the best songs. Don't get me wrong I love the entire album. Not one song is bad. I still need to buy the remaining six songs from disc two.

After American Life, Confessions & Hard Candy being such excellent albums I was greatly disappointed when she first released MDNA in 2012. Which is why I have been hesitant to buy Rebel Heart. I decided to listen to a few songs from Rebel Heart on YouTube to see how I liked them. Every song I heard I loved.

After listening to her new album I decided to buy the double disc version of MDNA used at half price. Now I love MDNA but I personally think Rebel Heart is much better. Madonna's talent really shines through with Rebel Heart.


title: Music

text:
Beautiful music!

If you want me to write a lengthy review on all these products, I need some kind of credit for it.


title: Lots of '80s FUN!!

text: Great recordings. My wife stole my studio "greatest hits"  but I like this LIVE  CD much more. Lots of fun, good quality recording. Play it in my '96 SHELBY convertible all the time!


title: The combination of east and west is a wonderful marriage

text: I have always enjoyed great music and these recordings are at the top of list


title: Horse of the Wind

text: Especially if you are a horse lover , this CD will restore your sanity and probably not a good idea to play in car since it sends visions of horses running thru your mind.  This CD dates back many years.  The music, combined with horse sounds...whinnies, snorts, galloping hooves blended in with this incredible relaxing music.  Our bay window in Kitchen faces the horse pasture and when working on my laptop, I would open the window, and turn it to full volume.  My son's horse would perk up (his horse has since died of colic) and come galloping to fence, whinnying his head off, looking for the strange horse surrounded by music.I mean, even a real live horse answers to this CD.  I almost had a breakdown when my first CD of this developed a skip and at that time I could not find a replacement, which my husband coming to my rescue found one on Ebay,  Now we are talking way back years ago .  Now can be easily found on Amazon.  Afraid I would somehow destroy the one my husband found, I quickly bought 2 more (for any future possible disaster)..  This is by far one of the best relaxation CD's I have ever owned.  Horse lover or not  , again Robert Vavra has produced a CD that captures the beauty of horses, which is reflective of his well-known beautiful capture of horses in stunning photos of the horse.  I might sound a bit crazy over this CD...and maybe I am, but at least it is a good kind of crazy.


title: Underrated Band!

text:
Hey Rosetta! is an amazing band that really deserves more recognition. Plan Your Escape doesn't have a bad track on it. Unfortunately this version is missing a few of the tracks from the full version, one of my favorites being "Tie Down the Dying". You can find this and the other missing songs on Youtube. I have no idea why this was re-released as an EP when the full album is so incredible.
Their other two albums are equally awesome.
Give them a chance and you won't regret it. Happy listening!


title: Loved it!!

text: Excellent album worth it!!

title: Mislabeled CD

text: I'm giving it 2 stars not for the music but all the songs are mislabeled.  Took me a long time to straighten them out on my player.


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing artist


title: Great quality ! A must have

text: 45 Year old radio broadcast IS a very high quality reproduction. This was April 13, 1976. Was at the following two nights in Cleveland where the also broadcast the April 15th show the qualityy of that show is no where near as good as this one. This was Genesis at their prog best.


title: Johnny Horton

text: He has very good songs on the CD's.


title: Baroque Mess

text: It could just be that I am not very fond of Baroque music. I especially despise the harpsichord in pretty much any setting. However, there are a few composers during this period that I thought I enjoyed, but not the renditions on this album. I bought this several years ago because I really enjoyed "Beethoven at Bedtime" by the same company. That album had some arrangements of Beethoven that I have heard no where else and now define my impression of those pieces. Unfortunately, this Baroque album did nothing for me. I just ran across the album going through boxes in my basement and gave it away because I have no desire to listen to it ever again.


title: David was terrific

text: Old music, but still freshly played


title: Five Stars

text: Great set of CDs...! Joe H is the best! Fast shipping. Thanks..


title: Simply put - a must own classic rock Cd

text: My copy maybe the original CD of Some Girls...the copyright date is 1978 which is not always a clear sign of manufacture. However, none of the faces that are concealed and the "strips"  or bands if you prefer are different colors but they do match the album cover.<br />If you're a Stones fan this is A must have. Some Girls, Just My Imagination, Far Away Eyes (what a great getting drunk song that was), Beast of Burden and of course Shattered. A great classic rock album!


title: A Classic Beauty

text:
The Whispering Wind (Blows On By) steals this album/CD right when you hear it. I have two copies of it and I listen to this one song for hours at a time. It is poignant, beautiful, melancholy, gut wrenching, sad, emotionally wringing superbly arranged and the song and Mandy fit perfectly. Like the Beatles singing I Want To Hold Your Hand or Simon & Garfunkel singing Bridge Over Troubled Water.

The rest of the album shows off an incredibly powerful voice and makes a strong case for this lady as one of the premier torch singers in modern country music.


title: Wow!

text:
I first saw the video: The Whispering Wind which I can and have listened to for hours and almost always do. I believe it is one of the most dramatic, poignant, haunting, pleading, beautiful songs I have ever heard. I picked this CD, titled Mandy Barnett, up last week in perfect condition and found it in a $1.00 section...really.

This album shows a wide range of her beautiful singing and she is as good as anybody out there. I've Got A Right To Cry with The Whispering Wind song came, I think, three years later in 1999; but that song I believe came out in late 1998 (was listening to it during a visit out west) so perhaps the CD came out in 1999. That album puts her right up in the first tier of modern day country "torch" singers and you'll probably hear a ghost or two of Patsy Cline as well.


title: Rustic or Barn Country joy from David Ball

text: This album is a total joy. David Ball is true country with a real country voice. This album makes me think of a barn party. Everyone having some good food and drink. David and his band get up and just have fun. This album is what, Rustic or Barn Country? Whatever. If you love David Ball and understand how he relates to country music then you will definitely enjoy this album.


title: One Star

text: The earliest Zeppelin recording is from Gonzaga University on December 30th 1968. This release is obviously BS!


Yes, this a Russian release but it is an excellent quality release. Not a boot in Russia but a legal release. The quality is excellent and I would recommend Star Mark releases to anyone - I have a bunch of Start Mark releases including Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, AC/DC, Deep Purple....all excellent albums. I highlight boots when I see them here but these are not boots.


title: Don't be ripped off!!

text:
C**p!!

Much better versions available for free in various forums, I have a copy by Empress Valley Supreme Disc and it has great sound and cost me nothing. Don't be tempted to spend good money on what seems to be a hard to find Zeppelin release; they are very easy to find and in much better quality....and did I mention, free??


A very good CD.  We didn't have any problems playing it.


title: Five Stars

text: Great CD for relaxation.


title: Love this relaxing music. We're of Irish heritage.

text: I've been looking for this CD for years. I have the cassette but my player broke and I missed hearing this music. So happy.

title: Loretta Lynn The First Recordings

text: This is Loretta Lynn All her "First Recordings"Recorded in 1959 & 1960!! This is the Version of " Honky Tonk girl that brought her to Nashville when the number 13 record on the charts, and these also are the recordings that Loretta and Doolittle crisscrossed the country with!! I Love it ! It REALLY Should be called Loretta Lynn The Beginning of a Legacy or The First Recordings !!!!


title: It isn't often that you find an artist...

text: ...whose unreleased material is just as good as their finished product.  This is that!  I'm referring to the anniversary edition of this album with many bonus cuts.  We are very fortunate to have chartreuses who are able to do this!  Norah Jones is at the top of the pillar in so many ways.  Recent releases or time-honored standards, she makes all her own in folk, rock, and jazz stylings.  Of course, I'm referring to her other great releases.  If you're new to Norah, pick up this set!  It will leave you hungering for more!


title: I returned this unopened.

text: The only reason I've chosen to write a review, even though I've not opened or played the CD is that I ordered it by accident.  I was in a mood for Woodstock performances and thought that this CD actually contained some, but upon further examination, I realized it wasn't, just catching up on the phenom of the moment.  Most of these are studio recordings with some live performances and it's at a good price for a double CD set and Movie Mars has always been good to me.  If you don't already own many of these tracks, and I do, this would be a good addition to your (shudder) oldies collection.


title: If they knew there wasn't going to be a Vol 3

text:
I loved the Capitol albums as the tapes crossed the pond and Capitol played catch up, creating their own 'Beatle's albums'  Sometimes, it worked, other times, not so much.  With the UK versions of the albums being standard fare, the original albums make a lot more sense, musically, than the records we received.  On this 2nd volume, then, I would have omitted The Early Beatles-11 oldies vs. 14 songs on Please Please Me.  And the Help! Soundtrack.  Sure, the instrumentals are interesting curios, but that isn't why we bought the album originally.  Instead, I would have added Yesterday...and Today, and the American version of Revolver.  Y & T has some different versions of And Your Bird Can Sing and Dr. Robert.  As well as different versions of 'I'm Only Sleeping.'  That's why it was such a disappointment to discover no 3rd volume.  The other add would be the American Revolver.  The Capitol release is a 'Paul Heavy' set with 2 of John's songs being held back.  No major differences save perhaps the SFX in Yellow Submarine the mono vs stereo mixes.
Ideally, there would be a volume 3 which would include Y & T, Revolver, an expanded Rarities, and The Movie Album, using the official Capitol Stereo Duophonic Sound.  I understand that there is a different version of 'I Should Have Known Better' but that's just the Beatle Freak in me.  Sadly, you'll have to search out the boots as these last 2 albums as well as Love Songs and Rock 'n Roll Music have never received an official CD release, and I suppose, why should they, the latter 2 comps.
They could have collected all the Soundtrack albums-AHDN, Help! Let It Be, Yellow Submarine and the Movie album and packaged those together.  Yeah, I missed my calling and should have had a career in marketing.  Asi es la vida!  Get these 2 boxed Capitol sets while you can, because the US albums are not American versions, but the 2009 masters.  So you don't get the echo in I Feel Fine or She's a Woman.


title: A Very Pleasant Surprise!

text:
I was so surprised to find this.  Joni has released 3 live collections in her cannon, but this and a few others catch her in her innocence, vulnerable in front of a small audience, not counting those  listening live on the radio.  Her conversation between songs shows an open and honest young woman, months after the release of her first album and before she recorded studio versions of some of her best known works.  Both Sides Now, The Circle Game etc.  The other thing that is showcased is her ability with the guitar.....a six string!  Her voice, not as affected by her cigarette habit at this point, is at once lifting and light then down to the lower ranges which makes her sound older than she was at the time.  The liner notes read that she wrote Both Sides Now in 1966.  When you think about the lyrics, it's comparable to Dylan's Blowin' In The Wind at the same age.

OK, technical quality.  Fair.  The disc starts out in mid song.  It fades out at another song only to come back in applause.  BUT the performance itself trumps those trifles, even the uneven volume of the songs.  This is valuable for it's historicity and the facet that it is just Joni and her guitar.  That was all she ever needed!


title: More for the die hard fan.

text:
I ordered this without hesitation when I was notified that it was coming out.  It is a very progressive endeavor to capture alot of those stray Sly songs into one location.  It was also a good move to add all the hits in 'mono' not that we needed that, but it will lure the 'Sly curious' listener to this set.

Sly, producer for Autumn Records, an independent San Francisco record co (Beau Brummels) tried his hand at recording a few sides which never charted, but revealed that there was something different about this guy.  When he formed the Family Stone, that's when things stared to heat up.  A deal with Columbia produced a relatively quiet Debut, with a promising title "A Whole New Thing".  That wouldn't happen until their sophomore effort, "Dance to the Music".  The rest needs no repeating.

This set offers 17 previously unreleased songs and perhaps 23 when you consider the Amazon bonus disc.  The idea that there are STILL more in the vault is fascinating.  And Sly's brother Freddy said that Sly is 'still making good music' in his own exile.

Sly always said that he wanted to explore other non conventional ideas in music.  His idea to release Que Sera Sera' in a slow groove on Fresh was innovative.  And the live 'St James Infirmary' makes you wish that he had lead the Family into recording a jazz tinged album, like what happened with James Brown.

The only complaint that I have is that when the set was offered as a download, it was less inexpensive than buying the physical box set, by 30 dollars.  But it is well worth it.


title: Ruben is at his best.  You will love this!

text: Ruben does not disappoint.  He didn't try to redo Luther, he he definitely nailed this album making think about Luther but you hear Ruben at his finest.  This is the type of music Ruben should have sang all along.  His voice was never for pop or rap.  He is a velvet classic balladeer.  You will love it.  I bought it for my husband's gift, but I wish I had gotten one for me to enjoy in my car.


title: More great Rock and Roll from the 1970's you probably haven't heard!

text: While there isn't any single-worthy omission from Classic Vinyl radio (they pretty much didn't break through hear in the States), it's a treasure trove of great music.  Perhaps best known for their dual lead guitars, it's a different sound than anything you may already have in your collection.  There's easily 10 to 12 songs that I play regularly, but the entire two discs can be played  straight through, it doesn't offend even my fickle ears.  Favorite  song" "Persephone".  Wow, it's really an impressive legacy, definitely Hall of Fame worthy!!!

There are no other word, but amazing. ♥


title: GIVE IT UP !

text:
Give Tiffany credit for trying to break into the spotlight for her entire family.

However, the product is weak and extremely over produced. A total lack of interest from the public will keep this child from being a household name for her family to enjoy. Tiffany Evans and her grandparents may believe that she has "THE" gift of song, yet her family (bound to post a nasty response) along with her management team have grand visions of delusions if they honestly believe Tiffany can pull off the lyrical challenge of -- And I'm Telling You (from Dreamgirls)...

The message of the song is out of the league of this little Miss Wannabe. SONY should not wonder why they've got difficulty registering sales when they release such disposable trash. It takes more than hitting and holding a note to make one a "VOCALIST"! Unfortunately, Tiffany Evans has to mature. As a child, she just is not THAT gifted! I would have awarded only (0.5) stars if I could have ~ and that would have been generous.

title: What A Wonderful Parting Gift!!

text:
Having ALWAYS admired and respected Vesta's work, it didn't dawn on me how much I would miss it until I ran across this oh so accidentally. It is also more than a little weird reviewing an artist's last project.

On the whole this is indeed a solid project and one Vesta can be proud of. Her voice is in fine form though I got the uncomfortable feeling at times that she was encumbered/restrained by some of the arrangements. Nonetheless, when she was able to go there, she went there in the sparkling "All You Girls", an uplifiting "Better Days", the nice n festive "Can We Talk About It", the  glorious "Truth of the Matter" complete with vintage Vesta vocal runs, and the highlight, the positively eeeeeeeeeeeeexquisitely controlled "Silly".

....uh, the mysterious track "Hold On.."......on second thought, if you won't mention it, neither shall I......

Admittedly, some the arrangements seem to stifle her at times and I readily recognize that this is because it genuinely saddens me that we will hear her no more so I know I could very easily be wanting or expecting more simply because I know I can't.

I hiiiiiiiiiiiiighly recommend.

.....hey, wouldn't it be positively DAZZLING if they would continue to unearth SCADS of Vesta's "unreleased material" packaged in 20-cd sets like TuPac?!....GOD I hope so......(...oh 'scu me.......I don't know WHERE that came from.....)

title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Classic! Never goes out of style!

text: Avoid the versions that are uploaded online (most likely illegally) and purchase this in whatever format you can find! Classic songs like this never go out of fashion!


title: Great way to spend time with the Lord Jesus Christ

text: The song that stands out most to me is the clever "Video"...it is both lyrically and musically well-written, can't understand why it wasn't more popular. And I think one of the tracks is the live version of what she sang instead of "Let's here it for the boy" when she won the award in 1985(?).


title: similar to Integrity's scripture memory songs

text: Great way to spend time with the one and only Lord, Jesus Christ. LOVE THE TITLE OF THE CD! Very creative


title: Great way to get the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart and mind!

text: Are the copyright holders aware that this is available completely free on YouTube? I'm pretty sure it's this whole album and many like it. This is a great series.


title: Some of this is available on youtube; not sure of copyright issues?

text: The woman sounds SO much like Gioia from Expose. I was trying to use some of these songs for Praise and Worship to the Lord Jesus Christ. I miss music that was contemporary around this period. I would love to hear this female vocalist do some love ballads.


title: This CD is worth any price

text: Can any price be too expensive, even just for the song "There'll be sad songs to make you cry"? In a world that has gone crazy and thinks that "Carribean Queen" was his only hit, let me say that Mr. Ocean if far more versatile than that. "....Sad songs" is part of a soundtrack to our lives, namely the summer of 1986.


title: Could have soared with proper marketing

text: I guess perhaps this got lost in the shuffle during the time period of Bryson's other duets (most notably, "Beauty and The Beast"). This is surely one of his best and his vocals are as top notch as Eder's. The sparkling arrangement of this gorgeous Frank Wildhorn melody makes this a favorite of mine. It has a soulful quality about it and is probably the only radio-friendly track from "The Scarlet Pimpernel" soundtrack. People who compare Linda Eder to others of her genre do her no justice. It's her understated delivery that puts her in a class all her own. When an artist is so talented that they can be over the top, but still chose to remain down to earth, they have achieved success.


title: Timeless...

text: I've owned this cassette since summer of 1991 and I still love it. Playing it in the car today. The best are the David Foster productions: "After All" and "Through the fire". Also noteworthy is "Joy" by the late Teddy Pendergrass.


title: Material not strong enough for Osborne

text: Not as compelling as "Stay with Me Tonight", this 80s outing does feature a stellar performance of Michael Massers "In Your Eyes" which, strangely, was not as popular as a less flattering version by Dan Hill and Rique Franks in the mid 90s.


title: Strangely, the title of the song spoke to what soul music would soon become......

text: For up and coming artists who dare to categorize themselves in the Soul genre, they'd better be careful. To those of us who understand and appreciate true soul music, we recognize in 2014 that there's been a tainting---and it ain't pretty. Now, HERE'S a project that features soul. From production, arranging, writing, and performing (instrumentally and vocally), "Leave Well Enough Alone" is a slice of soul that I dare say has never been rivaled since. Dee Harvey is telling a story with everything he does in this song, from vocal inflection even to how he holds back at times. He's a stellar performer and he showed us that the difference between then and now is the difference between singing about passion and singing simply because you want to be a star. The brats in the latter category should pay homage to the late Dee Harvey by buying his "Just As I Am" project. Listen to it and grow up.


title: Her Finest Moment

text: I'll never forget early 1992 when Vanessa Williams hit it big with "Save The Best For Last", with tons of critics calling it the pinnacle of her success. Only months before, Cathy Dennis had achieved that same success--one that seems to now only come up in conversations of the 90s ("oh, yeah, I remember that....") or in overhead music mixes while we're grocery shopping. No one could have told me that when "Come On and get me love" (credited as DMOB introducing Cathy Dennis)was released, we'd be hearing this vocalist on adult contemporary crossover formats later on. While I wouldn't personally change a single bit of the song, I can understand why some people might call it dated (I don't hear a single drum , only programming). But, somehow, it just works. The string arrangement by Anne Dudley along with the production of Cathy Dennis (yeah, she's nobody's paper doll), makes this melodic piece both bittersweet and uplifting at the same time. It's a tale of wanting what we can't have in a world ruled by critics. When the song came out 20+ years ago, I could probably relate to her oppression. All these years later, I scoff at the self-righteous referred to in this song. It's funny how Cathy speaks here about her time being yet to come, as it was actually happening for her then! While her dance music is still beyond that of her peers, it's this song that proves a very potent point about the adorably calm Cathy Dennis: in a world of little girls in the music business that boast about what they THINK they have, here's a woman who HAS it, but never boasts.


title: Her absolute Best

text: The early to mid 90s found producers and musicians capitalizing on a sparkling keyboard sound that some critics now, sadly, refer to as dated. I don't think anyone pulled off a vocal performance to that backdrop as well as Celine does on this recording. The song is so incredibly emotionally powerful from beginning to end, you don't even miss a bridge. When she cries that she needs someone there beside her at the end of the song, it's time for the crowd to stand up and cheer. As I recall, this bubbled under on the charts, quite unfairly. It has to make you wonder if the Titanic theme really blew up on it's own merit, or that of the film.


title: A tremendously gorgeous score with heart-felt vocals

text: This is the theme from Stealing Home (Mark Harmon & Jodie Foster) and the opening line sets the course for the whole song to take flight. Who can't relate to going back in time in their mind? And the line towards the end about not being sure who won the war is timeless. Both the lyric and the melody prove that sometimes it doesn't matter how your story ended or even what it was all about; it's the journey and the emotions along the way that makes the memory so sweet.


title: Foster at his best

text: It's hard for me to find actual words to review this masterpiece and I refuse to be one of those people who says "it's great". Let's put it this way: if you enjoy "And when she Danced" from Stealing Home, you'll love this one. And if you love the St. Elmo's Fire love theme, you will FLIP over the vocal version on side B. If you've heard the instrumental version hundreds of times, the vocal version will just make you jump out of your seat and say "Yes, that's exactly what the melody is trying to convey"!


title: It Took Me Too Long To Appreciate This

text: I bought this record in 1987 and have always loved her duet with Kashif. I bought the whole album on cassette in 2002 in a consignment shop and was totally disappointed. Don't ask me how this could have happened, but this past summer I decided to pull out the cassette and give it another chance and it quickly became one of my fave albums in a long time. Classic late 80s adult contemporary fare. But my favorite song on the whole album is actually featured here on the b-side of "Reservations....". "For Everything You are" has the same sparkle and adult contemporary melody that was all the rage in the late 80s. For fans of this genre who wish they could hear more music that sounds like what they love, this one will do the trick.


title: A formula that never fails

text: Riding on the success of "You Got it all", The Jets never failed to capitalize on their glistening ballads. Had this been their first back in 1986, it would have been just as big as "You Got it all". But by 1989, perhaps there was too much competition. This Diane Warren song makes use of young voices that belong to a group wise beyond their years, melodic undertones and overtones, and lyrics that can reach any heart. It was covered as an album cut by Expose on their final album, but I don't think it had the same melancholy feel that the female lead from the Jets brings. As I've said before about her, it's funny to think that back in the day we had young girls who sounded like women. These days we have auto-tuned women who sound like whiny little brats. Like the song says, it really does not seem right at ALL.....


title: Give the whole thing an honest listen

text: If you can struggle through some of the dated gimmicks on the fast tracks (I don't know why she bothered with "I want to thank you"; Robin S.'s version in 1993 was much better), you will find gems in the straight up R&B jam "I still Run to you" and the ballad "Nobody's Fool" which almost sounds like it should have been in a movie somewhere. "Better Part of me" has that chord progression and backing that made songs like Brandy's "Have you ever" and Puff Johnson's "Forever More" so smooth.


title: Great album for fans of the boss!

text: My dad loves this album and I was very excited to find it for him


title: Good old tunes

text: My wife was feeling old and wanted to listen to music from our school days and at a low price, probably bought these as records and cassette tape and eight track now cd at a fair price


title: Irish music...

text: While traveling in Ireland...one of the B and B's had this CD collection...saw it there....listened to it there...came home and ordered it ! Great CD to add to our collection.

title: an incredible album!

text: After seeing Rich on Sunday morning tv I had to give his music a serious listen. WOW!! Am I glad I bought this one. 77/17 is my new favorite song. The entire cd has been playing over and over in my truck since I put it in a month ago but when 77/17 comes on I play it 5 or 6 times in a row and I never get tired of it. Do yourself a favor, BUY IT!

title: Fine contemporary rebetika

text: Athinaiki Kompania is defunct, and their recordings are scarce in the US. This 'best of collection' is a excellent introduction to this group. The instrumentalists are fine, and the featured vocals by Sofia Emfietzi are exceptional. Highly recommended.


title: Vroommmm...gotta take a listen!

text: What a fun song!!!


title: Perfect for a 3 yr old and 7 yr old

text:
Before, I had used soothing lullaby music for both my 3 yr old and 7 yr old. But after a while, both were asking for something different. My 3 yr old had listened to the same Lilo and Stitch story for several months, twice every night.

I decided to try these Disney stories after seeing them in the Disney store. Each CD for each movie holds typically four songs from or representing the movie, plus the story at the end. The stories last around 15 minutes. What I ended up doing was transferring all of the stories onto an ipod. Then used a mini speaker with the ipod to cycle through the stories. The music I found was too distracting for their bedtime. The stories, however, worked great. It allows them some time to listen and relax before falling asleep.

Note: Of all the stories, they don't care for Brave, merely because of the bear sounds. Other than that, they love all of them.


title: Beautiful Voice

text: Elder McAllister is valiant missionary in my ward. We really enjoyed his album.


title: Great cd

text: How can one review this CD when one does not have the list of songs to listen to????<br />It is kind of silly.


title: Okay!

text: Okay, but small with minimal info.

title: How doom should be done! (for fans of Sabbath,Sword)

text: I just discovered these guys about a week ago,and I've been HOOKED ever since.Like everyone else is saying,YES-it is like Sabbath,which is a GREAT thing! From beginning to end,this album is solid.They've managed to capture that perfect vintage/Sabbath sound,and the vocalist sounds like a cross between Ozzy-Dio-Ian Gillian.There will be times where you say to yourself while listening, "IS this a Sabbath re-make?..the lyrics even sound kind of like.." Just check out the names of the songs and you'll see what I mean.Its not very often when listening to an album, that I actually get excited to see what the next song is like.Now I'm just waiting to see these guys live some day! My current favorite album by far (besides the new Witchcraft) But,GET THIS ALBUM IF YOU LOVE SABBATH,YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!! \m/


title: Fantastic

text: This album is filled with real life songs and very well written and the music and voice are very well done also.  It is another real collector of an album!!


title: Better Than Expected

text: I've collected my share of bootlegs in the past and was a bit leery about this show based upon the reviews.  However, I have to say that I found this show to be quite listenable.  While expectedly it is a bit bassy, It has been cleaned up (no tape hiss, eq'd) and is actually pretty good quality being that the source is an audience held cassette recorder with a built in mic. I would rate it 7/10 sound wise.  Good performance throughout and recommended for historical purposes.


title: Beatles the early days

text: Like this one best but that's because I like the early songs better than the last ones, the middle period was good also but the impact from the first ones was impressive, but that's my opinion.


title: want peaceful praise?

text: I've actually ordered this exact cd twice before and gave it away. Awesome peaceful praise.<br />I would recommend others to buy this.


title: A must listen

text: Ever track is great


title: Great harmony, feel good music…love it!!

text: Has a great variety of their songs,,, sit back, put your feet up and ENJOY 💕💕💕


title: One Star

text: total disappointment


title: Brilliant Mind

text: Brilliant mind. Multi layered like the chess board on Star Trek.


title: Regrese no era el que aparece

text: Que no fue el producto igual al escuchado


title: As described; prompt shipping

text: This is a gift that has not been given yet. So far, the experience has been very good.


title: One of his best albums

text: This album is also available under a different name.  I brought it back from Germany and it is just called "David".  It is one of my all time favorite CDs. I think it is worth every penny. David's voice and his ability to express emotions through his music always leave me wanting more.


title: Best Christmas Gift

text: My teen daughter was so happy to get this.


title: Fast service

text: Put the entire set in my car; ready for summer cruising with the stereo on high.


title: Heavenly Music

text: Really love this music. Very calming.


title: Monkey Magik ichiban!

text: I first heard around the world on my local Japanese station and I was hooked. I bought most of Monkey Magiks CDs on amazon. They have a happy positive sound and I feel great when I listen to them. This cd+DVD combo is one of my favorites. The DVD has them live in concert singing their popular songs. This combo is pricey but well worth it. Cd book has the words to the songs in English and Japanese mixed together so I can't read all. The DVD also has behind the scenes making the concert and band member interviews. I just missed a concert they had at Waikiki sunset on the beach. The Honolulu Ekiden was going on but I had to work so I was sad. This is a great cd+DVD combo and you will be happy! I have the English album also. They have a few different songs. Good times!


title: All about that bass

text: Most Excellent #1!


title: All zbout that bass

text: Most Excellent #2!


title: Glad to find!

text: Personal treasure.  Saw Charlie perform around Detroit back in the day.  Brings back many great memories.


title: BLAST FORM THE PAST !!!!!

text: Really good songs.  A great listen!!


title: The Dead in Mono

text:
Fast shipping is the first thing with good packaging. The album (vinyl) is in just like new condition but the album cover came opened. No explanation on why it was open unless it was pressed in Europe. Some of the LP's made in Europe come opened because to customs I'm told.
 Being a limited release I doubt if this glorious mono album will ever have a needle touch it. Since it is opened it will be cleaned on my VPI record cleaning machine to get the pressing residue off the vinyl and make it play ready it I may decide to need a listen to it.
Mono recordings are just so rich and full that a lot of them sound much better than the stereo versions of the albums.
Not much else to say but it looks like a very will pressed album and if I do listen to it I'll update this message.

text: One the best collections of Jim Nabors music. This is a very good best of that contains some of his best tracks. It also contains many songs that are not on most collection. Very nice selection of songs leaning towards the pop side of Jim;s music. Very nice collection of his music. Many of the  the greatest hits are very jumbled and the music is all over making it hard to listen too. This albums is a nice selection of songs that show the splendor of Jim;s voice.  The Sony Special Markets cd are budget cd release but they are also the best collections of his music available. the The CD packaging is just basic with no liner notes but the the music is all original versions and the song selection and sound quality are superb.


title: A wonderful collection of Latin Music! Quince De Marzo is a wonderful CD from start to finish.

text: Wonderful collection of Latin Music from Amada Cristal. I was luck to find this lone out of print cd from Accent Records. A real classic album of Latin rhythms.


title: The American Songbook comes to life with classic performances by some of the greatest singers of any generations

text: They're Playing Our Song is a wonderful collection music that spans 4 volumes and 8 CD's worth of classic performances. There are too many great artists to list them all. Dean Martin, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney, Andy Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Mel Torme, Peggy Lee, Bobby Darin, June Christy, Frank Sinatra are just a few of the artists on this set. A wonderful collection of laid back romantic songs written by some of the greatest writers in history. If you love lush vocals, Great Arrangements and wonderfully crafted songs this set is for you. This set is out of print and I would recommend you grab this set while you can still get it! It is a real treat from beginning to end.


title: This is Duncan Faure at his best! One of the best song writers and performers of our generation.

text: Pronounced Four-Uh is one of Duncan's best releases to date! The album is chocked full of catchy pop songs that only likes of John Lennon or Paul McCartney could write. Contains the classic tracks Brother, Come Dance With Me, A man of a thousand dreams! Duncan Faure started his career and the lead singer for Rabbitt. Rabbit was the most successful pop band of South Africa ever with over 10 million units sold there. From Rabbit Duncan joined the Bay City Roller and recorded Three of their most critically acclaimed albums with them and was also in the movie Burning Rubber. Duncan went to write the them song for Madonna's movie 24 hours  and has written many other hits. Treat yourself to Pronounced Four-Uh you won't regret it.


title: I'll Be Seeing You. is a wonderful collection of world II era songs. One of the best compilations of the era I have ever heard.

text: Another Classic compilation assembled by Readers Digest. This Massive 5 cd set contains 100 songs that were the sound track to WWII. These are all the original version by the original artists! This set contains too many songs and to many artists to list. It seems every classic is here. If you loved the music of the WWII era you will love this set. Sit back and listen to this set that takes you back to the days when Radio was truly King.

text: I bought this mainly for the title track, which I first heard off of a different album, but which wasn't available on CD. Every once in a while, a song comes along that just blows your mind. I knew Donovan's version, but Julie Driscoll is absolutely magnificent doing Season of the Witch.

title: Classic ROCK

text: Hard to beat Skynard when you want Rock and Roll


title: Good

text: Good


title: A must own masterpiece.

text: Wow! This CD is as close to perfect as you can get. The musicianship by all involved here is unreal. And the vocals are outstanding as well. This is 68+ minutes of prog bliss. I thought that the album's lyrics were beautifully constructed and put across brilliantly by Steve Hogarth. As stated the band's complete mastery of their instruments is perfect here with my favorite being probably Pete Trewavas whose bass really captivated me. But that captivation is shared by me for Steve Rothery, Mark Kelly and Ian Mosley whose playing is nothing less than phenomenal. This is a band that I only became familiar with five or six years ago so there's been a lot of catching up to do. And catching up is what I've done tho it's been a real pleasurable experience. Fish is long gone but this band has continued to release extremely strong progressive rock. That speaks volumes about this band. I can't really pick a favorite track due to the overall brilliance of the entire album. A must own masterpiece.


title: Fantastic album by this bluegrass super-group.

text: Fantastic album from this bluegrass super-group. The musicianship here is outstanding all players doing a superb job playing classic bluegrass. Lead vocals are handled by Dudley Connell, the great James King and Don Rigsby. Joe Mullins' banjo is simply outstanding here as is Glen Duncan's fiddling. There's a mix of standard style bluegrass tunes and gospel bluegrass, both very good. This is an underappreciated bluegrass band in my opinion in that I don't hear them mentioned in the conversation of great bluegrass bands. Totally unacceptable! They're not together anymore but don't let that stop you from picking up this great band.


title: Not quite the effort as his other recordings.

text: Very good effort by Ritchie DeCarlo. I do however like his other CDs better. This one is not quite so heavy which his other recordings are so good at providing. The tracks featuring Scott McGill are the best here with McGill showing his stuff to the extreme and guitarist Chris Cuda also showing his chops. However DeCarlo's drums are fantastic throughout. This is a very good fusion offering, just not the quality as other DeCarlo recordings. Those other recordings are much more energetic and solid. "My Supposed Cancer" is a track that fits nicely with what DeCarlo has recorded in the past, very heavy and tasty, Scott McGill simply tearing it up on guitar. I do recommend this album even though it is not quite up to the quality of other Ritchie DeCarlo albums, it still is above much of what's out there.


title: These guys are at the top....

text: Stupendous effort by this fantastic trio! The musicianship here is totally off the charts. There are two tracks with Marcus Reuter doing Touch Guitar soundscapes, and they are beautiful. Robert Fripp would be proud. These guys are at the top when it comes to this genre of music. Rock, fusion, prog whatever it is it is mind blowing. While all those involved on this effort are utterly stellar, Percy Jones is especially good. I'm a guitar guy but Jones really is amazing. "The Ghost of 47 Letsby Ave." has some really tasty drum work by Ritchie DeCarlo added to some interesting guitar by Scott McGill. I own other of this group's albums and they never let me down, always stunning virtuosity. I cannot pick any sort of favorite on this disc because each track is so good. But saying that I really do like the two tracks Reuter contributes soundscapes. Total album here. A+++!


title: There are no weak tracks on this album....

text: Excellent fusion, prog, hard rock. Whatever it is it certainly is exciting. In the credits it only gives note to Michael Bernier, Ritchie DeCarlo and on one track the amazing Michael Manring. I'm sure there are other instruments involved here besides the ones credited though special thanks are noted to four other individuals. The musicianship on this recording is unreal. All players shine. Ritchie DeCarlo is one of the best around and Michael Bernier is fantastic on Chapman Stick. And Manring in brilliant on the track including him. This high-end high powered music is an example of what DeCarlo's prior work exhibits, and from what I've been able to discern, Bernier's work is also in this class. All are of superior quality. There are no weak tracks on this album, so it's hard to pick a favorite.


title: So nice!

text: As I write this the album is unavailable. That's a real shame, this is a beautifully performed piece of art. Gee I guess that's redundant when talking about Phideaux, all this band's output is of higher quality than most music out there. Superior musicianship and vocals make this album a must own if you can locate a copy. The lyrical content is also superior, very interesting words here. The mix of Phideaux Xavier's vocals with the vocals of female singers is so nice. So nice! Phideaux's guitar is also so very nice. The only bad thing about this album is the size of print on the informational booklet, my old eyes can barely make out what's written here. OK that's not really a valid complaint when considering the phenomenal music, vocals and lyrical content on this brilliant piece of work. A solid five stars (really more like an eight) for this album.


title: Really good prog/hard rock.

text: Got this as a freebie with a Ritchie DeCarlo CD. Really good prog/hard rock. This recording has a lot of people playing. Pat Mastelotto, Tony Levin, John Wesley and Billy Sherwood are all here playing a supporting role. There are plenty of other names that I was not familiar with, but my ignorance doesn't diminish their contributions. All songs are pretty straight forward, hard and fast rules the day here. The musicianship is outstanding, the players are all very good. "Backward Towne" is a little on the trippy side. Vocals are somewhat surreal on this album. I like what they've done there with those vocals. "Amhran do Ana" is probably my favorite track, but "The Vile Queen" with Billy Sherwood on lead guitar is hot. Ritchie DeCarlo is one heck of a drummer and Michael Bernier plays several instruments. Both are very impressive. These guys only have this one CD for sale on Amazon. I definitely would like some more of this stuff!


Beautiful recording of a super-group of musicians. I mean really this is a super-group. True legends Roy Haynes and Dave Holland join Pat Metheny in what is a perfect example of what a jazz trio should sound like. I love Pat Metheny's other recordings but I really love his performances in a trio format. Pat's guitar is so clear and distinct and Dave's bass is to die for. And Roy is one of the all time greats. I can't pick a favorite tune on this album. All the songs are about as near to perfection as you can get. This one gets an A+.


title: Overall a fine recording.

text: Great fusion offering from this threesome. With Chris Bacas on sax (one track) the album has some hard stuff and a little stuff on the mellower end. These guys can really play, and hey virtually anything with the great Percy Jones is probably going to be very good. Scott McGill is a talented guitarist I just wasn't all that thrilled by the guitar synth. Felt the same when Allan Holdsworth used the device. Ritchie DeCarlo was new to me but man he's really special. My favorite track is "Yellow 80, Yellow 80", searing guitar marks this piece. Overall a fine recording.


title: ...Robby goes for quantity without sacrificing quality.

text:
This should be an Amazon verified purchase.

This is an outstanding work of art. Great guitar throughout. I was excited to see so many guest players here. Ritchie Hayward, Edgar Winter, T Lavitz and Billy Cobham (!) all play on one track each. Would've liked them to do more than one track each but I'll take what I can get. There is a lot of frantic guitar on this recording, Robby goes for quantity without sacrificing quality. I think that I can recommend this CD without any reservations. Heck the track "War Toad(Peace Frog Remix)" is so cool, it makes this disc worth every cent.


title: This album is so fine.

text: Great boogie from the Heat! This album is so fine. One of my favorite Canned Heat songs is on here, with "On the Road Again" being one of the bands best. But there are several great tunes.  "Turpentine Moan" is a fun song, "Amphetamine Annie" tells of the dangers of "those little pills". Allan Wilson's harp duels with a horn section on "An Owl Song" and the instrumental "Marie Laveau" is one of the disc's jewels. The set concludes with "Fried Hockey Boogie" and introduces each band member and gives each a little solo, too cool. Don't forget to Boogie!


title: I love all their previous CDs and this one is no ...

text: Latest offering from these Italian proggers.  Comparisons to Genesis will be drawn undoubtedly but that's OK. The band embraces that fact and goes for it. I love all their previous CDs and this one is no different. Any band that still uses mellotrons is fine in my book. That they are singing in English does make their music more accessible, I do however enjoy good music in foreign languages. I think my favorite track is the opening one, "Blackest Deeds" but the entire CD is excellent. Steve Hackett plays 12 string guitar on track 7, so there's that Genesis connection again. I'd really like to see the band live to see if they use visuals as much as Gabriel-era Genesis did. Great music here!


title: The sound quality of the set is very very good. As with other TD albums the guitar is ...

text: Double disc set of a live recording. As usual Edgar and the gang nail it. The sound quality of the set is very very good. As with other  TD albums the guitar is quite prominent (Edgar and Jerome Froese and Zlatko Perica are all credited) and has some beautiful sax (Linda Spa) as well. It all blends into a mix of ethereal music that transports the listener into another universe. I have yet to sample the post-Froese Tangerine Dream but have read that it is still quality stuff. I'll have to break down and try it out.

title: "...YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY ALTERING YOUR THOUGHTS"

text:
"Up Thought For Down Moments" is a marvelous collection of 15 minute talks, "The Voice of Unity" radio programs, which Eric gave over the airwaves of N.Y.C.'s metropolitan area from 1969 thru 1999. A few have made it into the pages of the books he has written. I became a student of Olga [his wife] and Eric right out of high school, when my mom took me to the previous Unity Center, on West 51st Street, in 1972. Although a student of metaphysics for many years, I remain "a student", more IN-lightened than I was 50 years ago[?]. Yes, to be sure, but I have not "made it" by any stretch of my imagination. Both Olga and Eric admitted frequently that they too, had not and did not "have it made". Life is a constant unlearning of our errors.

I have found a great personal uplifting from listening to these reminders about my true divinity and as a Child of God...just when I needed them the most! I listen to these two [cassettes] to this day when I find myself under considerable strain in one or more of the listed categories. Although I did not purchase my copies for the above stated price, once you have listened, with an open mind, to these recordings, you'll probably agree that Eric's words of wisdom are worth any price that you could pay...


title: This is a great set of CD's

text: This is a great set of CD's, for a great master of the piano. Michelangeli could be demanding to the point of apoplexy, but listen to his music!


title: Long awaited CD release of  two of Thelma Houston albums.

text: Finally "Ready to roll" and "Reaching all around" are available on CD. Thanks to soul music records. The quality sound is impeccable  and clear.  "Saturday night, Sunday morning was first released in the "Ready to roll" LP in 1978. Then remixed and included in the "Ride to the rainbow" LP in 1979. Which I consider should be included here .  I like so much all of Ms Houston songs.  Hope to see a CD release of her self title album by MCA label. Said to say today how Motown wasted such a talented singer and didn't promoted her sane as other singers and groups in their catalogue. However, she had earned her place in the hearts of her legion of fans. The price for this collection is perfect since I got four albums in  set.


title: Great inversion for a record collector

text: I have hundreds of L.P. and was looking for a way to protect the covers.  Found these at Amazon.com and they really do the job.


title: "No man in the world"

text:
Perhaps Kym Sims might be labeled  as a "one hit wonder."  However, "Too blind to see " extended versions will make you
get up from your seat and dance. Too bad that the world was to blind to see a great singer like Kym. Who all the sudden
disappered the music scene.


title: Great Music!

text: I have been trying to find this CD for several years and am delighted to have it. It is difficult to find but worth the search. The music by this awesome group, especially the title track, is beautiful and inspiring!


Five Stars

title: These guys pay wonderful tribute to their piano heroes

text: I’ve been following Stephanie for several years - a fantastic piano virtuoso who really nails the stride / jazz piano. Paolo, her husband, is likewise a wonderful talent. Both of them “become” their heroes - James Johnson in Stephanie’s case and the great Erroll Garner in Paolo’s. Highly recommended.


I buy kids bop for the enjoyment of the students in the After School Program.  Whip it nae nae was very popular and after lunch we would play it and students danced with joy....a great sight to hear/see!

title: Stunning Stuff

Was just listening to this (Bluebeard's Castle) for perhaps the twentieth time.
That moment when Judith opens the last door and finds out the truth is one of the scariest and most dramatic in opera. The music is absolutely stunning. I swear, tonight, every hair on my body rose.
I saw a terrific performance at the Met back in the 70s with Shirley Verrett. I've forgotten the bass, but you don't forget Verrett.
Can't forget the "reveal" either, the dim red light and all the hanging wives. Fantastic, deliciously horrifying stuff.
Bartok was definitely on his game when he wrote this.

title: Original Hits by Original Artists; Excellent Sound

text:
When I made this review, there were none made before me.  I only have the "Golden Memories" CD out of this box set, but I thought I would write a review anyway.

I would have given five stars if there were more tunes.  There are 12 on this CD.

This CD includes hits from the years 1948 to 1956.  The selection is excellent.  All peaked at  #1 on the Billboard 100 Top Pop Singles Charts except “Baby It’s Cold Outside’ which peaked at #3.

Here is a track listing including their peak hit positions for the years indicated in parentheses.

1. How High the Moon – Les Paul & Mary Ford #1 (1951)
2. Wheel of Fortune – Kay Starr #1 (1952)
3. Careless Hands – Mel Torme’ #1 (1949)
4. Manana – Peggy Lee #1 (1948)
5. Memories Are Made of This – Dean Martin #1 (1956)
6. Baby, It’s Cold Outside – Johnny Mercer & Margaret Whiting #3 (1949)
7. Dream – Pied Pipers ;#1 (1945)
8. Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief – Betty Hutton #1 (1946)
9. Sincerely – McGuire Sisters #1 (1955)
10. Rum and Coca-Cola – Andrew Sisters #1 (1945)
11. Mona Lisa – Nat King Cole #1 (1950)
12. Here in My Heart – Al Martino #1 (1952)

There are six pages of liner notes including a discography giving information on each tune.


title: Very Good Sound & Seems Original

text:
This CD seems to be the same as Disc 1 of a 3-CD set identified as ASIN B000FLJW08. I have that Disc 1, and my comments below apply to that disc.

The music quality is very good, without the annoying sound of "record scratches".

I couldn't tell for sure if the tracks are the original hits, but they seemed to be.

There are no liner notes.

Track list with artists for my Disc 1:

1. In the Mood - Glenn Miller
2. I'm Beginning to See the Light - Harry James
3. Jumpin' at the Woodside - Count Basie
4. Don't Be That Way - Benny Goodman
5. Sophisticated Swing - Les Brown
6. Skyliner - Charlie Barnet
7. Happy-Go-Lucky Local - Duke Ellington
8. Blowin' Up a Storm - Woody Herman
9. I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm - Les Brown
10. Dance of the Lame Duck - Glen Gray
11. Jersey Bounce - Benny Goodman
12. Tuxedo Junction - Glenn Miller
13. Woodchopper's Ball - Woody Herman
14. Lester Leaps In - Count Basie
15. Redskin Rhumba - Charlie Barnet
16. Nightmare - Artie Shaw
17. Eager Beaver - Stan Kenton
18. Leap Frog - Les Brown
19. No Name Jive - Glen Gray
20. Auld Lang Syne - Guy Lombardo


title: Wrong Track List & Artist ID is Not Clear

text:
My CD was "Classic 7508" by Classic Sound, Inc. of Norcross, GA.

Here is the actual track list with the attributed artist:

1. One O'clock Jump - Count Basie
2. I've Got Rhythm - Jimmy Dorsey
3. Begin the Beguine - Artie Shaw
4. A String of Pearls - Glenn Miller
5. Marie - Tommy Dorsey
6. Little Brown Jug - Glenn Miller
7. Cabin in the Sky - Les Brown
8. Stompin' at the Savoy - Benny Goodman
9. Donkey Serenade - Artie Shaw
10. Pennsylvania Six 5000 - Glenn Miller
11. Caladonia - Woody Herman
12. At the Woodchoppers Ball - Woody Herman

These tracks play okay with a little record scratchiness in some places and maybe a little volume unevenness.

HOWEVER, when I went to rip the CD, a completely difference tracklist showed up on my computer, attributed entirely to Enoch Light and the Light Brigade, despite the fact that the above listed tracks were the ones that played.

And there are no liner notes to clarify exactly who the artists are.  This is particularly frustrating when, for example, I'm looking for the original of "Little Brown Jug" by Glenn Miller, because the Glenn Miller Orchestra (without Glenn) has also released the same songs.

I decided to get rid of this CD.


title: Good Quality Recording But Not Original Glenn Miller

text:
Potential buyers should note that this CD is of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, not Glenn Miller and his orchestra.  I prefer the originals by Glenn Miller that have been competently edited to remove noise (scratches and hiss).

There are 14 tracks, not a whole lot.  And, there are no liner notes.


title: Good Sound; Almost All the Singles Hits

text:
This CD contains 9 of the 10 Supertramp singles tunes that charted on the Billboard 100.  Just "My Kind of Lady" (peaked at #31) is missing.  I tend to focus on singles hits for my music inventory which I sometimes play as a deejay.

Two track I could have done without: "Crime of the Century" and "From Now On" They drag a bit.  But I thought two non-hit singles were good: "Rudy" and "Hide in Your Shell".

The music is generally well composed, and the sound quality is good. I'm a 50s guy who enjoys popular music from the 40s into the 80s and some beyond that.


title: 24 Top Ten Hits

text:
Here are the tunes and their Billboard peak positions during 1950:

1. Music! Music! Music - Teresa Brewer - #1
2. Enjoy Yourself - Guy Lombardo - #10
3. I Wanna Be Loved - Andrew Sisters - #1
4. A Bushel and a Peck - Perry Como & Betty Hutton - #3
5. My Foolish Heart - Gordon Jenkins - #3
6. Play a Simple Melody - Gary & Bing Crosby - #2
7. The Cry of the Wild Goose - Frankie Laine - #1
8. All My Love - Patti Page - #1
9. Sentimental Me - The Ames Brothers - #1
10. There's No Tomorrow - Tony Martin - #2
11. I'll Never Be Free - Kay Starr & Tennessee Ernie Ford - #3
12. Harbor Lights - Sammy Kaye - #1
13. Hoop-Dee-Doo - Perry Como & the Fontaine Sisters - #1
14. I Can Dream, Can't I? - The Andrew Sisters - #1
15. Mona Lisa - Nat King Cole - #1
16. Nevertheless - The Mills Brothers - #3
17. Goodnight Irene - Gordon Jenkins & the Weavers - #1
18. Bewitched - Doris Day - #9
19. Rag Mop - The Ames Brothers - #1
20. Bonaparte's Retreat - Kay Starr - #9
21. La Vie en Rose - Tony Martin - #9
22. The Tennessee Waltz - Patti Page - #1
23. Dear Hearts and Gentle People - Bing Crosby - #2
24. It Isn't Fair - Sammy Kaye - #2

"Dear Hearts and Gentle People" became a hit in 1949 and carried over into 1950.

Several artists are duplicated on this CD including The Andrew Sisters, Perry Como, Gordon Jenkins, Bing Crosby, Patti Page, The Ames Brothers, Tony Martin, Kay Starr, and Sammy Kaye.  It might have been better to have more artists and less duplication.

The sound quality is generally very good.  Because the source tracks are older, a little noise (tics) is sometimes present.


title: 40's Style Songs, Some Live Tracks, Not-so-good Quality

text:
CD was made in Holland in 2000.  It is said to be by original artists, which it seems to be.

I generally look for good quality original hits by the original artists.  I shy away from re-recorded or live versions, and I usually don't seek album tunes that weren't individual hits. Remastered original hits are ok if the remastering was done well.

Here are some quick observations that I made on the individual tracks of this CD.

1. Granada - Frankie Laine : Appears to be a re-record based on comparison to tracks available from iTunes. Quality is good with a couple glitches.
2. Love Letters - Perry Como: A live version with front end conversation.
3. Blue Skies - Dick Haymes: A nice version but not a hit by Haymes.
4. Swanee - Al Jolson: a good track, but I'm not sure if it is original.
5. Send My Baby Back to Me - Jimmy Durante: A live version with clapping.
6. My Heart is Taking Lessons - Bing Crosby: A good track, but not a tune I wanted.
7. Mona Lisa - Nat King Cole: A live version.  Not bad quality.
8. Cry - Johnny Ray: A live version with clapping.
9. Life Is a Song - Tony Bennett: Generally good quality; not sure if it's live.
10. In the Still of the Night - Nelson Eddy: A live version with clapping.

title: 25 good tunes but not the best sound quality

text:
This was one of the first CDs I used to build my deejay file. I've used several of the tracks, but had to do some editing to clean up the sound. For some tunes, I chose other sources. If I were starting to build my file anew, I would probably choose even fewer tracks from this CD.

There are no liner notes.

The choice of tunes is very good.  It's mostly from the pre-rock era.  Those from the rock era are more easy listening, and there are a couple country crossover hits.

On the CD tags (as seen on the computer when I set up to rip), most of the tracks are not identified.

This was one of the first CDs I used to build my deejay file. I've used several of the tracks, but had to do some editing to clean up the sound.  For some tunes, I chose other sources. If I were starting to build my file anew, I would probably look a little closer at other sources.

There are no liner notes.

I found a couple errors on the CD tags (as seen on the computer when I set up to rip):
"You, You, You" does not give credit to The Ames Brothers
"Hot Diggity" does not give credit to Perry Como
