title: The Super-Elegant Idiom

text: I know the Auryn Quartet has been around the Washington environs quite a lot, and I believe I heard them once or twice in Georgetown. I may even have reviewed a concert with them years ago for the Washington Post, but the mists of time have made that a bit indistinct. But the not so surprising little secret of many ensembles is that they are often quite a bit better on their recordings than they are in live- concerts. I know this goes against one of the strict themes of communitarian optimism which says that live, squirming, coughing audiences are actually a magical elixir for great artists that somehow pushes them to unbeknownst heights. Well, not so to these rather experienced ears. The result is that while my past memories are a little indistinct from concerts in the  late eighties, my focus on the the perfect recorded summation of works present here  is not. This CD documents very youthful but wise precision of the highest order in these great works. Far from trying to strike out on a new sort of interpretation, the Auryn chooses the more reliable attempt at apotheosis of the inherent idiom of these works. It is a total, elegant success! There is literally not an unrefined, unshaped note in the whole CD. I am eager to get their other Haydn CDs. But I would not be utterly surprised if they did not quite keep up this apotheosis. It seems a little super-human for artistry. This appears to have been the first one, and sometimes that means the best. But it gives me something to look forward to, and wonder.


title: The Most Convincing on The Early Quartets

text: The early string quartets of Mozart somehow sound a bit clunky in the readings of many quartet players. The idiom seems different of course from his later masterpieces, so players are tempted to give self-consciously galant interpretations. The American String Quartet avoided this tendency, for instance. But few others have to my ears. Here is an unlikely candidate for most successful reading of these works as the little masterpieces they are. The players are distinguished musicians from their home countries, and so it is not surprising. But it was a bit unexpected. After listening to it for the zillionth time, I had to admit, this one is the best.


title: Pronounced, Incisive Brass

text: It is almost incomprehensible that such a complicated and difficult symphony as this has had so many great performances. While some great works, seemingly more straightforward languish for want of an insightful reading. This is another excellent reading, combining the inexorability of a Szell conception with some of the floating and divine grinding of a Kna, whose live one with the Vienna Phil. is still a great favorite of mine. But what really distinguishes this one is the very pronounced and incisive brass. More apparent than in any other recording, to my ears.  Loud, but integrated. Sharply rhythmic, not overpowering and broadly blatty. This is in all the movements, but of course the Scherzo benefits from it a lot, where some syncopation comes out that is quite thrilling. I have slowly been acquiring this very curious East German Revolution series and a number are indeed  very special.


title: Very Serious Performances!

text: I am so happy to have finally gotten this CD. I love the American String Quartet, and I think this is the only way this recording ever came, but not sure?? Anyways, these are very serious performances of these works. The first quartet often gets performed with a catchy glibness akin to extracts from Romeo and Juliet. That is not an unreasonable way to look at the music. But here the performances have an hieratic drama and poise that is really something that wants to make you pause and think and reflect. The second quartet may have received its most persuasive performance ever on this disc, to my ears. Again, a very serious piece of constructivist impressionsim, if that is not an oxymoron. It is filled with color, but somehow streamlined and grim. Though the notes by their great member Ashmalov explicitly rejects trying to conjure any political vibe (remember these were recorded in 1982!) they do seem to summon some very sublime, and contradictory, Russian-Soviet sense. And very impressively. What a shame that the American String Quartet has not recorded the complete Shostakovich Quartets. They would be perfect, based on this disc, though now with some different members. I heard them play the Shostakovich  8th Quartet in DC in the middle of the the war torn years of the mid 2000's and it seemed the most sublime commentary on our politically vexed era.


title: Revelatory

text: These are excellent sounding CD transfers on Melodya. What I want from these Russian recordings is echt, hard- edged sound. And the performances are nothing like any other ever in history. Can't say why, but the first ones were the best.


title: Tongues in Trees, Books in Running Brooks

text: I really don't know what to make of these performances. The sense of ensemble between the players is impressive, and in that sense they seem to give a coherent reading of these great works. But the interpretation is so flowing and floating, as if the entirety of the works were a prolegomenon to Ravel's Jeux D'eau....or something like that. It is quite entrancing in a specific way, but the drama of the works is put to an entirely watery, though not weak, purpose. When I first put the Cd on, I was perplexed, and thought it just an uninspired run-through. But the seamless feeling of real chamber music, and intimate ensemble quickly told me it was something else. I have enjoyed the performances quite a lot now. But it does seem a very precious or lapidarian way to perform Faure, but at any rate still an odd success. There are books in running brooks.


title: Spectral Liszt

text: Duchable's playing on a number of other Cds has been remarkably light of touch in the best sense. Impressionistic as a way of creating colorful contours, and never getting stuck in the requirements of heavy and potentially didactic sounding musical dramas. But his reading of this great Sonata takes that aesthetic even further. It is as if pianistic filigree  becomes itself a color, and the drama of the great sonata is given a display like an amazing kaleidoscope. The lightness is almost Mendelssohnian in sound, except that the contours remain very much sort of spooky Catholic aesthetics of the Abbe who was the greatest piano virtuoso-cum-composer. Duchable's performance still allows you to hear all this and yet appreciate how beautiful the music is.


title: From the Mountaintop, with Clear Air

text: Just played this cheapie CD again, and it is a document of a mountaintop performance. The expansive reading of Beethoven's greatest trio shows Pauk's insights, and Frankl's noble asisitance in their greatest light I've heard a lot more persuasive Dumky trios though.


title: Arthur Winograd, Great Conductor

text: I was just reflecting on how practically nothing that Arthur Winograd recorded on lp as conductor made it to CD even. Except for some odd issues in Argentina. He recently died in Oregon at a fine old age. His wonderful Brahms Serenade No. 2 on MGM is a treasure, as was his Schubert record with various overtures. I wonder if there exist tapes of his concerts, of which there must have been many, Hartford where he was conductor for many years.<br />Those would be wonderful to hear if they showed up online someday.


title: Gorgeous

text: I have the lp of this, which I bought in a restaurant-cum-record store right near the Seattle Symphony hall. Seattle is a great spot for records. The violinist is not as well-known as many others, but she is excellent. And Gonnenwein was at his best in these Ludwigsburg recordings, which by the way are still available, even some of the lps, on the Bayer website. I bought the one with the Mozart 19th Concerto not too long ago.


title: Utterly Synoptic Performance, Great!

text: Here is one of those cheapie CDs that is indispensable. Thi performance by Gonnenwein from Ludwigsburg  of the Great Mass is much finer than the much-earlier one available from EMI. The reading brings together the diverse stylistic tendencies of the work -- alluded to way back when by Einstein the musicologist -- in a a sort of grand and elegant synopsis. From that perspective it is really is best, to my ears. For utter drama, with some of the same summarizing talent is the old Celibidache document from Italy. But this Ludwgisburg performance really has a sympathetic clarity that helps you not be deterred by the almost terrible monumentality of the work. In such capable hands it is still monumental, but also very human and touching. Simply a wonderful account of the music!


title: Two, Beyond Belief

text: I was just looking around at Mravinsky Cds and I saw that this one has my two favorite performances by him. All on one CD. The incredible Bartok Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is given the most vast and evocative and dynamically precise reading ever. It is so great a performance it almost can scare you. And then his incredible Sibelius Seventh. This is a performance almost as if it were from some other planet. Nothing sci-fi or weird about it, but it is just such a insightful reading that it seems almost on par with the greatness of the work itself.


title: Great Performance

text: Terrible sound, but a great performance. Some of these cheap crappy old records are indispensable, and this is definitely one of them. Probably the best performance of this work ever, to my ears.


title: Incredible

text: This should do for the oboe what the Bach cello suites did. Incredible playing and a great CD even if you're not a regular classical music lover. You can put it on during a Sunday morning, and it's like having a virtuoso practicing in the next room. This from one of the world's greatest oboe players.


title: Great!

text: This album is just fabulous! For anyone that enjoys good old cowboy music, this is the one. Lots of original music that you'll enjoy over and over. Thanks for the great music!

Discovered this artist as the opening act for a wonderful Ben Howard concert. Really great! Finest Old School British Songwriting.
Lyrics that make sense and guitar playing that has soul.

Just this morning I went to a well-known "celestial" coffee shop, ahem...and saw an album named 1989 by another well-known artist....artist (?) in the shelf. What has the world come to. There should be a distinction between music and commercialism...I was hoping...


title: Great collection.

text: I love this one because it has a lot of songs on it that aren't normally found on collection cds. I like all of the songs, even if some of them didn't get the most play on the radio. It's perfectly balanced with some of the most well known songs.


title: I love her

text: This CD is one of Joss's best work,  I love her, I melt when I hear her voice, she can sing anything to me.


title: Never Disappoint

text: Long time fans of JMT won’t consider this their best album but it’s a damn good one. The beat selection could have been better. Lyrically, they’ve never sounded better. The verses are fire. If you’ve been a fan of these guys I encourage you to check this album out. You’ll be pleased.


title: The album is mostly quite enjoyable

text: I purchased this album to find more groups similar to :wumpscut: and on that level it was a great success. Unfortunately, the :wumpscut: remix on the album is pretty terrible but thankfully it is the first track and easily skipped. The rest of the album is mostly quite enjoyable. As is typical of dance music, the beats can get a little repetitive within certain songs but you probably know that if you're getting into this fairly obscure genre enough to even know this release exists. I recommend picking it up so long as it isn't priced too outrageously.


title: An Unheralded Gem

text:
A depressive masterpiece. I've listened to a lot of carbon copy death metal bands, too many, and I was glad to come across Orphanage so many years ago. The music on Oblivion, despite much of it being updated from older EP material, flows well together and takes a lot of pleasantly surprisingly twists. The growl of George Oosthoek is deep and one of my favorites to listen to. The music shifts from speaking to growling to singing, including female vocals, and all of it in a natural flow. It can honestly be a bit hypnotic at times.

If you're into progressive death metal then you would be doing yourself a favor to pick up this album. It is a true shame that Orphanage isn't mentioned alongside some of the greatest death metal bands in history as they are more than deserving of it based on this album alone, not to mention some of the great material on the albums that proceeded it.


title: Good product overall

text: This is a great albulm and the red vinyl is an added bonus. There is some static in the sound and the edges of the vinyl record are rough and a bit uneven however this did not effect anything sound wise. They just don’t make vinyl records like they used to, but besides that I’d still recommend it!


title: Beautiful and upbeat!

text: As a returning Kpop fan I love this album. The concepts of "The Red" is something I love that Red Velvet does. A perfect  debut album (Even though this is 3 years later!)


title: 1 of my Favorites

text: This is CLASSIC Ghostface/ WU-Tang/ Hip-Hop music.


title: Disc 2 Tells A Story

text: While I like the music on Disc 1, Disc 2 has a narrator telling a story concerning the songs, the soul searches for love.  I actually prefer the story than the music.  The story is given in English, Spanish, and French.  A brief knowledge of Roman Catholicism and Dante's Inferno helps.

title: One of the finest modern Brit-Pop/Post-Punk releases

text:
This album crossed my path back when I was doing college radio back in the late 90's, and it is one of the few that I still pull out to listen to now and then. In fact this album has had a contagious affect on many of my friends, who all have fairly distinctly varying musical tastes.

The closest comparison vocally that I can come up with is: Richard Butler's (Psychedelic Furs) rough style with plenty of Jim Irvin's (Furniture) tone.

Some of the mix is a bit muddy compared to recordings in 2006, but it works for the benefit of the genre for the most of the time as the production has a nice natural balance of energy and polish. In some ways the feel is similar to the John Hughes soundtracks "Some Kind of Wonderful" & "Pretty in Pink", with a large dose of Post-punk. (Recommended if you like: Care (Wild Swans), The Smiths, (early) James, and some shoe-gaze/britpop)

Lyrically, the album deals mostly with the relationship between the perception of love (relationships/exploitation/delusion/etc) (Loosely) and some of the ways the media influences it (in various forms: Including the often neglected medium of paint-). While not necessarily groundbreaking, neither does not come off as being pretentious and works nicely overall.

I highly recommend this album to any fan of this genre.

title: Disappointed

text: You will never get all the songs you like on one cd.


title: Early genre bending prog

text: Genre bending eclectic mix of catchy early prog ala early pink Floyd and Moby grape.  Great hooks and arrangements with unexpected twists....takes multiple listens to appreciate the tunes and musicianship.


Incomparable voice of a goddess singing songs of experienced life lived, loved and offered in a flame of emotional soft sophistication with accompaniment of wizards of strings and rhythm and orchestration. Step to tango in the kitchen. Here is opera of life in your cafe on a cooling late summer evening, or try this with any sunrise. Play this to my death bed. So life is dancing to a love song with Amalia.


title: Outstanding

text: Outstanding performances of highly idiomatic music. Sonics are rich and clear, and Taneyev never gets programed, so this is a rare find.


title: Colorful and Vibrant

text: Chandos once again gets it right. I appreciate having access to excellent playing that is exceptionally well-recorded. Particularly when it is of composer who is little-known, which is a shame. Thankfully there is this outstanding disc, so don't hesitate to get yourself a copy.


title: Stunning

text: Beautifully sung, performed and recorded. This cd is apparently no longer in print so do yourself a favor and snap it up while you can.


title: Hysteria plus more

text: I loved the Hysteria album since it came out and unfortunately, due to a roommate issue, I lost my copy of it. I decided on this version, as I could afford it and it would give me some added bonus material. The Hysteria album sounds as good as I remember. The two added discs are the audio from the video release "In the Round: In Your Face" that had been released after the Hysteria tour was mostly over. The sound quality of these discs is good and gives you a feel of how the shows were during that era with Steve Clark. I definitely would buy this set again just for the live discs, as I didn't have the chance to see them with Steve.


title: Hard to rate something you never received.................

text: I never received this item. Customer service was good and a refund given<br />quickly.


title: Wonderful old album.  Should be available on CD!

text: One of this old Dakota girl's favorites from waaay back when.  My late husband played this on our old Magnavox while he relaxed after dinner - said it restored him after a long, hard day at work.  Wonderful selection, and the Luboff choir at its best.  Came across this site while searching for a CD version.  Please, someone, bring this album back again!


title: I was there!

text: I was there when the DVD for this was recorded. Seeing Jason live is blissful.....you just fall into the emotion that is being sent from Jason's passion for spreading God's message through his songs and music. Check out Between the Earth and Sky........you will see and hear what I mean when you listen to the commentary on making "beautiful people". There are no pretentions. He's just a person with a message to deliver.


title: very good music - for Tull fans but not only

text: It took me many years to discover Thick as a Brick as the masterpiece it is. Now I found Still thick as a brick and it's a honorable reference to Jethro Tull's monument. The songs are composed in the same style and tradition without copying them. The musicianship is as good as the original, the production is highly professional. The package is nice and makes even the CD an experience for the eyes.


title: LOVe this album

text: I play this album all the time; it is a regular choice in my car and at home. A great performance...A must have for anyone who is a fan of this era of music


title: I grew up with the original Alley Cat album...and this isn't it

text:
When I was small, "Alley Cat" was one of my favorite songs.  My grandmother owned the original 1962 "Alley Cat" album and gave it to me after I begged her for it.  I loved the other songs on the record, as well as the lovely cover photo of a calico cat.

I was reminiscing about that album a few weeks ago and decided to see if it had ever been released on CD.  Lo and behold, when I plugged in "Alley Cat", a picture of the original album popped up.  It was quite expensive, some retailers were selling it for over $30.00 - mainly because it is out of print.  I found a reasonable prince and bought it; boy was I disappointed!  This recording is NOT the original 1962 Alley Cat album.  The original  one was issued in 1962 and featured Bent on piano with a drum and bull fiddle accompaniment (you can actually hear that version on You Tube in its 45 RPM release).  No orchestra, no cheesy arrangements. The other tracks on that album were completely different from the ones offered on this CD.

This one sounds to me as though Bent is being accompanied by a synthesized  band - to me even the piano sounds electronic (but that could be my stereo equipment). It is really nothing like the album I grew up with. In fact, the other tracks were not even on the original Alley Cat album and I don't recognize a single one of them.  On the back of the jewel case, Elap says this is from "original recordings".  If so, then it is from a totally different "original" album Bent Fabric must have done later on - because this isn't the album I remember.  That smacks of falsehood, but again, how many people out there even recall the original Alley Cat, or even care?  This makes me sad, though, because as a kid I loved that record.  I may still have a dilapidated LP somewhere in my collection and if so, I'll get it out and play it once again.


title: Five Stars

text: This is a really fun album and I wish it were on CD


title: This doesn't seem complete

text: I grew up with this music on LP.  There seems to be several pieces of music missing from the brass band section.  Is there anyone else out there who is also familiar with the old LP format who can shed light on this for me?


title: Paul Cardall Sunday Morning :(

text: Camequick, but the CD is defective, it doesn't play.  We need to return but still would like to order a new one. The other 2 CD's were excellent quality, as usual..please send a new one..<br />,


title: Soft, Soothing, and Relaxing Piano Music

text: This is my second CD of George Winston's December.  The first one I played for over 10 years and it started showing some wear.  The music on this CD is all piano and has a very calming and relaxing sound.  If you want to wind down in front of a fire place with a glass of wine, this would be the CD to help relax you.  I would play this CD every night when I put my baby daughter to bed.  If you love piano music and are looking for some slower, relaxing music, this is the one.  It is fantastic.

text: My daughter and I volunteered to ring the Salvation Army bell to collect donations. We dressed up in period clothes and had a wonderful time. Besides the ringing of the bell we played this CD. It was inspiring and seemed to lift the spirits of everyone as he/she entered the supermarket.


Heavenly, as with all of Kitty's work. Exceptional for anyone who craves meditative music and lustrous voices. Beautifully accompanied by a children's choir. Simply exquisite.

title: Byrd and Getz at their very best!

text: An outstanding album!  "My Inspiration" and "Violao Quebrada" are two of his best cuts ever.  Another delight is "Someone To Light Up My Life".  This is a "must have" for any serious Byrd collector.


title: Learn to think!

text:
Most of us are never taught how to think. This author knows how. Read his book. Know what it means to think.

No, I did not say 'what to think'. We humans are prone to so many pitfalls when it comes to perceiving our world and the behavior of others. Authors like Dubner are more aware of their biases and have learned how not to stumble over them while getting to the facts.

text: I was looking for this on Amazon for cheaper than $70 and finally found it! This came in a good amount of time and in great condition!!


title: ...home is where the heart stops dead...

text: One of the most incredible minimalist experimental bands ever.  This would be their primal scream.  A record with such exquisite beauty and ideas that refer to many archetypal references with such a personal touch.  From the thrum of "Awake and Watching"  about the compulsion of television (which is still highly relevant today) to Andy Warhol and the limitations of fame in "15 Minutes" to a road trip gone wrong in "Headf***" .  "The Vacuum Shop" is a reference to a novel not yet written and "What a World" is so descriptive of the torrent cold world we live in (again relevant today).  Adrian Smith's provocative voice and yearning croon exhilarates the tense and terse structures of low tinged percussion and electronics.  The middle eastern throngs that come out of nowhere are stimulating!  This record is a go to for me.  Such a powerful statement.  Click Click have returned after a 13 year hiatus with a new ep called "Skin and Bones" which was just released 17th of November.  A new album is in the works.  Great band that never quite has gotten the recognition it deserves but has influenced many of the greats!


title: Shy electropop

text: Brilliant. "It's Not Effective" and "The Life Highrise" are my two favorites. The first sounds a bit like Soviet, the second a bit like New Order.


title: I love the nostalgia

text:
Franke & the Knockouts was a band from Jersey from about 81 that was basically the vehicle for the voice & songwriting talents of Franke Previte (and  Billy Elworthy).

I had the first two of Franke & The Knockouts albums on vinyl, listened to them on cassette, and since I can't listen to either any more, I had looked at finding the original albums transferred to CD.  Alas, that was done some time ago, and the CD's are only available for outrageous amounts of money in the import bin.

[Now, I like Franke (etc) as much as the next guy, but not enough to pay that much money for them]

I've listened to the new album and yeah, its the songs that I remember.  The up-tempo songs from Franke (...) are probably my favorite (Sweetheart, You're my girl).  They're all "summer, good-time, at the boardwalk with your friends" music.  The ballads not so much.  The CD breaks down roughly into stuff  from their first two albums as the first 10 songs (good), the rest are newer, more ballad oriented stuff, with one previously released song.

Anyway, the sound is true to the original vinyl.  If you liked the original, you'll like these.  For my money, I'd just as soon they release the first two albums, but I realize there are a lot of people who like the ballads.

Enjoy.  Its all good.

title: The Bryants' only LP

text: I had this album long ago, played it on the radio back in the late 70s.  I don't remember all the songs - I know I Can Hear Kentucky Calling Me is on it.  But the thing I love most about this album is a totally unknown song called Playing in the Sand.  The first time I heard this, I thought it was worthy of a Browns reunion. That was a long time ago; it still is.  All the Browns are still alive. A lot of times you come across something that sounds like a monster hit, but no one else ever hears it.  This is one of those.


title: Great Record

text: Bought this just because as I have this song on many cd's but it played great and I will keep it because I wanted something from the past.


title: video

text: i liked it all very nice and a long recording of his songs


title: Five Stars

text: Great condition. It's my son's favorite cd.


title: NewsBoys ROCK!

text: Great album, lots of rocking music and some peaceful songs too....


title: Arrived promptly and in good condition

text: great music


title: Not everything you buy is new

text: The product was supposed to been new was scratched really bad


title: Compilation to knock your socks off

text: Weedpuller's "Dream Me" is on this compilation. I love it.


title: Old favorites

text: Happy to find old favorites


title: Cd not Ep

text: I thought I was buying a vinyl, but it turns out it was a cd? Calling the cd an ep is very misleading.


title: Five Stars

text: the best recording of op. 131 that I have ever heard and I heard most of them.


title: Not really up to The Who standards

text: Not bad, just not great either


title: Best of Elvis' gospel music.

text: Will not disappoint.


title: Distortion, poor mastering.

text: For one of McCartney's "archive" releases, this sounds TERRIBLE.  Frequent distortion throughout.  Really not worth it.


title: Best Independent CD I've EVER Heard

text: Great cd from this then independent band Civil Twilight. Fourteen songs, and not a throwaway in the bunch! They got signed to wind-up records, and for some reason Wind-Up only released a chopped up version of their independent release leaving off several great songs. They DID record two NEW songs for the Wind-Up release, but the downside to the Wind-Up release is that it is ONLY a digital release!  No hard copy cd from their major label release, which makes this independent cd all the more important to have. (don't know why Amazon is listing this in the "books" category!) If you can find this, pick it up, you won't be disappointed. They no longer sell these at shows due to their contract with Wind-Up records.


title: Great Power Pop/ Not so great transfer on 2nd LP

text:
This is a must have for any power pop fans. The problem is, the second LP on the cd, "Adventure Time", was not transfered well to cd.

It seems over-modulated and distorted on several cuts.  And at times it's almost as though it was transfered from vinyl! (listen through headphones and you'll see what I mean) The transfer sounds the worst on the more "jangly" songs, like "somebody call the police", or "burning desire".

Great disc, wish it was better transfered.


title: Great Rock/Pop

text:
Larry Saltis, formerly of the New Monkees, fronts this band.  They produce here a great blend of pop/rock/and even a little funk. A little like the Chili Peppers, but with their own sound.

A great driving cd!


title: Better Live

text:
I saw LeChevre open up for a band at the Handlebar before. In a live setting the songs are unique. At times, they can be too repetitive, but overall it is an good live sound.

They do not, however, translate well to cd. The synths sound more like fisher price toys than the real deal.

Seems like a nice guy with a decent live show, but the recording needs a little work, but hey, that's just one guy's opinion.


title: Best yet

text: My husband records his  Sirrus XM programs and listens to them in a factory.  We have gone through 2 other types of batteries and so far these are the best.  Although they do not look like the same as the picture.


title: Five Stars

text: Heard much of this on NPR and had to contact the program manager for the title.


title: Great Female Volcals by Well Kn own artists

text: Produced by Don Henley of The Eagles group, 10 well known female vocalists sing a variety of songs that are a bit different than what you expect from them.  It just shows how really talented they are and how the arrangement by Vince Mendoza just works!


title: Surprised

text: I was surprised to learn that I was getting only one CD for this price.  I was a bit dissappointed.


title: Music for DVDs.

text: It was great and I was able to use the music for the DVDs that I made from my pictures that I took during my recent trip to Germany.


title: Four Stars

text: Great product


title: Great Montana pickers

text: An excellent album by some of Montana's great bluegrass pickers. Spanish Peaks China Moon says it all about leaving Bozeman and the Cottonwood is one of those great forever love songs. Their rendition of Killing the Blues is one of the best.


John Lamb is is a world-class bassist


title: Wonderful CD

text: Great CD and a wonderful talented singer. I love it !


title: Arrived as listed

text: This is going to be a gift so I can't verify the quality of the disc inside.


title: Varied performances, all excellent.

text: A must for Bloomfield devotees. Get it before it becomes obsolete.


title: One of his best, and he’s got a lot of excellence.

text: I like it...it’s Lou Reed!

title: Great for a Newbie in Network Marketing

text: I just think everything Jim Rohn did was excellent.  This is a great CD to give to someone who is on the fence about joining a network marketing company, or someone who has just signed up.  It is good solid information, and because it comes from someone who is not with your company, it carries more weight.

title: Michelle The Disco Diva

text:
Tanja Thomas is really Michelle, a popular German schlager music singer whose career dates back to 1993 and who has released many albums in her native Germany (I think she's on her 13th album as of 2014). This album, "My Passion," is part of what I guess could best be described as an "experiment" that she decided to do back in 2006. She changed her name, changed her appearance, and decided to do a cover album of disco classics performed in English. In 2009, she released a German-language album called "Goodbye Michelle" and announced that she would no longer be performing under the name "Michelle." One wonders if she had planned "Tanja Thomas" to be her next incarnation. This is Michelle's only English-language album to date and I've read that it was not popular with her German fans. Many of her fans didn't understand what she was trying to do as her sound on this album is a dramatic departure from her sound on her German-language schlager hits. In 2011, she returned to performing as Michelle.

Still, despite its lack of popularity (and because we know that something can be unpopular yet good), I happen to really like this album. If you're a fan of Michelle and you're a fan of disco, then this album is a no-brainer. It's really interesting to hear her interpretations of these songs and it's great to hear her in English (one wishes she would record more music in English). While I love Michelle, I have to admit that since I don't understand German, I find *some* of her German-language music boring and too ballad-heavy. Some of her German albums start to sound the same after awhile. This album is a great alternative and I feel that if she hadn't been so shot down by her fans, she might be more willing to experiment like this again in the future. Great job, Michelle!

This is definitely a 5 star audio book that encourages good character as well as increasing knowledge of true history. You will not be disappointed!

title: Unbelievable Playing!

text: Wow!  I hope there is more of this group out there, because I can't believe how wonderfully they can play their balalaikas and with such speed!  It's like a feast of virtuoso performances all on one CD!  I keep listening to them and wonder how they do that!  In the end, all I want is more!  I could listen to them forever!

title: If you grew up in that special time, this one will light up your soul.

text:
Remember the late 80s and early 90s?  You discovered house music.  You discovered techno.  And then someone invited you to your first rave.  There were countless amazing songs from this time period that would widely be considered "anthems."  When this kind of music was in it's infancy, there was a prolific amount of content being created; so much so that you couldn't possibly hear everything.

If you still listen to this wonderful old music today it's so much easier to find things you missed out on.  A lot of times I will hear a house music song that's 20 something years old and it's so good that it instantly becomes an "anthem" in my mind.  "Dream" is that type of song.

Not everyone was looking for the same thing in the old rave scene.  There were some people who only liked hardcore techno.  Some only liked jungle.  Some only liked hard stuff.  I liked everything, but what I liked the most was music that was emotive.  Overall the music of that day had a great degree of soul to it.  Electronic dance music was largely mocked by those who weren't into it.  It would be called fake and artificial.  But those people didn't hear what we heard.  There was just as much heart and creativity in this music as any other type of music.

Dream - Rapid Movement Mix is one of those songs that make my mind go back to those lovely dance floor nights.  It makes me feel good inside and it just evokes everything that was so special about those times.  It has a warm, soulful groove that's complimented by italo style piano stabs and lush female vocals.

I didn't go to my first rave until 1991.  This song came out in 1990.  I never heard it until last year but if it had have been on at a rave, I just know that my emotions would have soared into ecstasy.

The biggest surprise was when I learned that the guys behind A.S.K went on to create Opus III with Kirsty Hawkshaw.  You'll know Opus III by their dance-floor anthem "It's A Fine Day"  Opus III is and has been among my top favorite music projects for decades now.

If you can find A.S.K - Dream do yourself a favor and pick it up.  Dim the lights, turn on a strobe and let yourself go to this song.  Dream.


title: I love the lyrics

text: I love the lyrics, but the music seems to be in the foreground, instead of the background. The lyrics are in the background and that makes it difficult to sing along or even enjoy for listening music. The guitar is way too loud and some of the other instruments also which makes the album seem amateurish.


title: Four Stars

text: great with the gentle giant


title: Sonic wallpaper

text: I really wanted to like this, but it's just not the Yes that I love.  But bands change, and so does Yes.  Musicians I respect went into the studio and tried to make nice music, and that's what it is--"nice music".  Unlike many reviewers, who have just savaged this album as the "worst thing" they have ever heard, I don't hear anything "awful" on this record.  It's pleasant; it'st just not very engaging.  Kind of like sonic wallpaper.  But I'd much rather listen to this than thousands of other records.  Of course, that's not much of an endoresement.  P.S. Chris Squier and whoever the keyboardist is wake up in the middle of "Subway Walls", play an extended jam of sorts that includes a truly good Howe solo, then it's all over.  Too little, too late.


title: Legendary combo of Reggae and Rock

text: In 1988-89, one of Eddy Grant's songs on this album--"Give Me Hope Jo'anna"--was a worldwide hit. I recall in January '89 dancing to it in a crowded Bangkok nightclub. It still makes me want to dance, and if you listen to the anti-apartheid lyrics of the song, they are sharp-edged, brilliant, and revolutionary. The rest of the songs on the album are rousing and red-blooded, too, if not as huge as "Jo'anna."


title: Top quality disc!

text: Great condition CD, with a lot of great songs on this collection album!


title: Carpenters Singles1969-1973

text: I love this record I used to have it.

title: long overdue

text: instant classic


title: Couldn't be more satisfied

text: I love Walter Klein's interpretations of Chopin's preludes. Over 30 years ago I purchased the LP, which was quite worn within a few years from being played so frequently.  Needless to say, I'm really happy to have the CD now.


title: uplifting, hauntingly beautiful and fun

text: Excellent live concert by two exceptional musicians totally brilliant 🎸


title: Everyman writes an album, nails it.

text: This is one of my all time favorite albums. I actually danced with my wife to one of these songs at my wedding.


title: THE INVESTMENT IN THIS CD  IS  A  TRIBUTE  FOR WHO TONY IS IN THE JAZZ WORLD

text: THIS CD REFLECTS TONY'S "JAZZ SPIRIT" IN EACH SONG THAT HE SINGS. EACH SONG IS TONY'S ENTHUSIASM IN HIS SINGING<br /> ENJOY THIS CD  AS IT IS WELL WORTH IT


title: This is an essential album by, in my opinion ...

text: This is an essential album by, in my opinion, an overlooked Philly Soul legend. This album contains the classic Me and Mrs. Jones, but it really is much more than that.  The songwriting and production is classic and it holds the test of time.  A lot of music from this period can sound dated. Personally it was a jumping off point into the most of the Gamble and Huff and Philladelphia International catalogue.


title: Exactly what needed

text: This was a classic.  Arrived on time.


title: Great Music

text: i purchased this for my dad, he loves it! it came so fast, safe and sound and he has been wearing it out playing it over and over and over! thank you, it was perfect for him.


title: I was glad to find this CD

text: I was glad to find this CD, one that joins 17 other albums. As the Pope says, "Who am I to judge..?" I am quite enthralled with this musician, to say  the least. Lauro joins other composers Mr. Russell has explored with great attention to the playing detail while bringing out the emotional content. To see him in person is one of my musical goals. Please visit Chicago, Mr. Russell.

Perlea's one armed conducting of this symphony is unmatched in my experience. It is only a cassette (first came out as an LP in the mid 60s, I think). The jacket notes refer to how this music does not show the impact of the dire economic times Mozart was going through, but this is way off and especially in this interpretation. Perlea and the Bamber orchestral get it all exactly right. Powerful.  I would just love to have a CD of the original tape. It was such an unusual find for me as my 91 year old mother was playing this over a boombox in a nursing home and I couldn't believe my ears. So I bought a copy of the cassette over Amazon. Believe me, if you can get by the inherent imperfection of a cassette, buy this brilliant recording.

title: RIP OFF

text:
OK, this is NOT a legitimate CD set--LP has not put it out.

I was in a hurry and did not check to verify that it was legit.

It does not play properly in:  a PC, a car CD, a professional quality Sony CD player, etc.  Skips and drops.

And, again, this appears to be theft of LP intellectual property.

Vendor did not respond to email.  Amazon had to give me a refund.

title: Save your money.  Does not work

text: The only good thing about this product is that it arrived in a timely manner.  The protective "glove" was missing, but I was willing to overlook that and wore my own glove.  My van had just been washed and dried and I tried the Nano sparkle cloth on a few of the scratches but there was no difference at all.  These scratches are not gouges or deep scratches.  They are very superficial but still noticeable.  A big waste of time and money!


title: Great CD!

text: Worth buying!


title: happy birthday dad

text: my dad loves it.


title: GREAT ALBUM!!!!!

text: Quick delivery......Album in great shape (for being used).....Sounds great with all Burton Cummings glory :-)


title: cd

text: It's in great shape for used and I'm delighted with it and the service that came with order.


title: Love the music

text: The photo cards and poster was great! Great packaging


title: Amazing album

text: Fast shipping album is amazing Stan ATEEZ!


title: Good for keeping busy

text: My children really enjoy this toy. I set them up at the table while I'm making dinner and they are content


title: Great product!

text: This was a gift for my parents and they loved it


title: Cexy music? Not really.

text: I tried listening to this album a few times, it never really caught my ear. The album artwork is a bit strange. Be ready to see a few crude drawings of phalluses.


title: Disappointing

text: Huge fan of JG and I like a bit of MA. I can't say I know every track, but most of the songs are previously released Foetus tracks and instrumentals that MA sings over. It's obvious he's doing his best to channel what he thinks fits the tracks, but it never sounds cohesive...or good. This is one Thirwell album I could (and should) have easily have skipped.


title: This is hidden gold...

text: By far better than anything ever played on any bilboard radio station.  I've just dropped $50.00 to buy this used on CD and have absolutely no regrets.  If you need a sample track, you'd be lucky to find either "Buffalo" or "Charlton Heston" on a P2P network, because you'd never find the entire album.  The music and lyrics are intelligent, clear and yet more absurd than your drunk uncle (who only comes by on holidays to borrow money and drink Papa's whiskey) during his DTs.  Simply amazing.


title: great cd

text: end up returing the item, due to the fact it was too expensive.  still will purchase it one day when the price is much less. thanks


title: Rubbery

text: These are so rubbery that although they taste great while sucking on them, you really can’t eat them.


title: Loved it and lost it

text: Loved this order, but we lost it in the flood in mid-michigan.  Unfortunately we had not yet ripped it and backed it up so we lost it all, but nevertheless it was well worth the price and great quality.


title: Thank you!

text: Purchased as a gift for my mom. She had recently owned this album, but lost it. I knew it was one of her favorites so I was glad to find it here. Thank you!


title: Love

text: Listened to this back in 08 and hadn't really had much luck finding it again aside from the occasional nostalgic trip back to MySpace. Truly such a beautiful and emotional album.


title: Item was a gift

text: Was requested by someone else and that person seemed happy.  This isn't my type of music.  So, I can't like or dislike.


title: Great program

text: Great program & easy to follow


title: Five Stars

text: It's good.


title: Awesome music!!!

text: I LOVE THIS CD!!! It’s one of my favorites. My first one was worn out then it was borrowed and never returned. I ordered one and the case was damaged when I received it. The company replaced it quickly with no challenges. Definitely a collector’s for me !!! Thanks! 😁🌺


title: Awesome!

text: Excellent prop.  Large, detailed, and jingle nicely!


title: Love this album

text: I miss his talent and artistry so very much 😔


title: Fast shipping and bird white he's the only man rated 5-star thank you

text: I named Barry White everything perfect play well rate of 5 * thank you


title: William Lee Golden's Masterpiece!

text: Not only do you get the warm tones of a truly "Golden" voice, the songs are woven in with an interview that gives the listener some insight into the things that shape William Lee Golden. His version of the classic "Starry Starry Night" is nothing short of breathtaking!  Great project!

title: The New Gaither Vocal Band Strikes Again And Hits A Home Run!

text: This is the second release of the "New Gaither Vocal Band" and it is a must have for collectors of their music.  This line up of talent is one of the best that Bill ever had and the resulting recording is second to none!  From the  opening bars of "Passin' The Faith Along" you know you are in for a treat and there is no weak spot at all on this release!  Bravo!


text: This is real gem if you are a fan of John Boy and Billy's. This box set contains their very first recorded releases and they came out of the gate funny!


title: 4 CDs Of British Glam Equal A Terrific Deal!

text:
This 4 CD set is a remarkable value.It's an excellent overview of
the British Glam Era.I actually remember my small town radio
station in Western NY playing quite of few of these "lost" songs.
This set has a good flow to it, you can basically set it and forget it,
there's not "a clunker" in the bunch.

title: Five Stars

text: Best Christmas Funk ever!  Christmas sucked until the day I heard Everett Bradley.


title: It works!

text: I'm a long time teeth grinder. I looked at this CD for probably more than 3 years before I purchased it. I finally broke down and gave it a try. And it really works. I only used it for about a week and a half before I could feel the results. No more waking up with headaches from grinding all night. I would recommend it.

text: My niece loves this CD


title: Great CD

text: Heard one of his songs on a 50's disc and loved it.  Bought this disk and am very pleased with it.  He is a very good singer.


title: Listen and be amazed

text:
Both English and Korean versions wont let you down~
each version have their own unique tracks even though some of them cross overs
the lyrics are heartwarming and very touching
HOME is where YOU are thank you LC for wonderful songs!!


number and alphabet pieces might get lost easily.


title: Classic rock and roll at its finest

text: Brought back memories. Good quality. Fair price


title: Absolutely terrible Service!

text:
Honestly I am beyond words. I happen to be a major Disney fan when it comes to collecting all the classic VHS films. I tried to take a leap of faith by by purchasing this particular film from a well respected Book Store.
Unfortunately the film was sent to me in a nasty, cracked and dirty case and it wasn't the cartoon version, but The real live 101 Dalmation one. I was so upset, felt deceived and  truly disrespected!
Rule of Advice: ONLY ORDER THESE PARTICULAR FILMS FROM EBAY! More Trusted!!!!


title: Four Stars

text: Soothing and relaxing


title: everything about amazon is awesome

text: i love every thing about amazon they are awesome and are easy to buy things online also i respect every amazon employee for working really hard with there job


title: Beth Is Incredible!

text: One of the best women out there rockin the Blues! Soulful. This album is toned down a bit compared to earlier works. You can tell her music comes from her heart! Check out her other work with Joe Bonamassa!


title: Five Stars

text: Tightly played. Well sung.


title: Amazing! Saw it a few yrs

text: Amazing! Saw it a few yrs. back and thought it was just spectacular..stunning.  Decided I wanted to purchase it but was having a difficult time finding it and finally last month found it on Amazon.  So very happy!  Well worth the wait.  Hope you can  find more so you can offer to others.  I purchased the only one . Again amazing and of course music is fabulous.  If more were available I for sure would purchase and give as gifts!


title: These are DEFINITELY the original recordings

text: When purchasing a compilation CD, it can be a crap shoot as to whether you will get original recordings. This album seemed promising by Having "Original Masters" in the title. I have listened to all the tracks and I can confirm these are the original recordings. Some songs I already owned via other albums and I compared them and they are exact. I don't write a lot of reviews but wanted to add this in case, like me, you are searching for this compilation album and wondering if it includes original recordings. I hope this helps someone. :)


title: Great recording quality

text: This album was a gift, and definitely a big hit! My dad listens to it all the time! Great recording quality!


title: Great but it is volume 4.

text: Great music but it is Volume 4.


title: Five Stars

text: Great songs! Thank you!


title: Great music

text: Excellent music cd


title: Three Stars

text: Not enough Zac Brown and too much of litttle known or unknown artists. No continuity


title: DISSAPPOINTING

text: ONLY SEVERAL SONGS ON THIS CD ARE NOT ON THE BORN IN HELL CD. NOT WORTH THE $$$ FOR THE FEW NEW ONES.


title: Excellent Record

text: This record is truly excellent Soundboard recording pressing sounds exactly like the original tape that I had since 1980. I am also very glad that you can finally buy bootlegs on amazon.com


title: Great sound, great vocals...

text: My second CD from this artist.  His voice is amazing and the overall sound is great.


title: One Star

text: If I had a third hand and 5 other fingers it would have worked gloriously


title: Album cover a bit worn but ok overall

text: The blue box album had a little rip in the corner, as did the plastic covering the box. This came w the 2 photocards (got beomgyu so I'm happy lol), ring, small paper stand, photobook, 2 sticker packs, and CD. No poster, similar to what the other reviews say. Overall, quite happy with it (aside from that rip) 😄 Looking forward to playing some txt on my stereo!


title: crazy for music

text: My little girl began to listen to the songs in the CD when she was a few months old.  Now that she's two, she's singing along and asks me what songs she want to listen to.  She loves it.  So much so, that I take it to the Daycare so she can continue to dance to it.


title: defective

text: Item was defective when I received it. I have worked in the industry of making CD's and DVD's so I am familiar with the subject. This disc was defective from the manufacturing process.


title: great cd

text: Great cd.


title: Grandson loves Veggie Tales

text: Gift for my grandson.


title: I had been trying to find this for a long time.

text: Used to follow this band when I was younger and had lost track.  This was their only album.  I was very pleased!


title: Really lovely music!

text: If you like Debussy, Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven all in one CD, buy this one.  It is the cheapest one, and it is the best one - honest.  I listen to it all the time.  It is very relaxing and sweet, it makes me happy too!  This is a bargain, pick it up, and you will see!


Was not impressed with the overall audio quality. The song liner notes are great but audio fidelity always comes first.


title: OK, but sound production could be better

text: Overall its a good compilation having the majority of both Foreigners & Toto's hits but the sound production could be better.


title: Five Stars

text: Thanks


title: Good music.

text: I bought this album around the year 2000 in a christian book store when I was at college in Missourri.  It is really good.  Sad to see there isn't much out there about the band, or the album "Under Rower".  I don't have all the songs from the album due to many of them falling prey to digital decomposition, but I like how some of their songs seem to have a bit of an REM vibe to them.  The words are uplifting, and in difficult times like these in our nation, they help me focus on God and the teachings of Jesus to love one another.


title: Great Band

text: An oldie but goodie!


title: Heres johnny

text: This is my last 127 album i need and i pulled johnny who i collect! Also come with a little mirror


title: A Classic

text: This little known album is a classic that deserves listening... great music from a great band.


title: Arrived on time and in good condition.

text: The CD came well packaged and on time.  The CD was new and performs beautifully.  Disappointed there were no lyrics for I use them to advance my study of the Spanish Language.  Thank you.


title: The Ralph McDonald Rule

text: If Ralph is on it, buy it.  Check out "Sound of a Drum", too. So why isn't his music available in CD format?


title: There's a few songs missing off of this CD

text: There's a song that was on the CD when I originally bought it years ago that's missing


title: Still shines all the time.

text:
I still have my original copy of this CD.  If it had been a tape I would have worn it out already. I have been many places in my life but was lucky enough to live in Omaha in the mid 90's. They had a great bar and music scene and BMG was very much a part of it. Saw them perform live a couple times and they sound great in person too.  Once I caught them just sitting on the steps outside a music store in downtown Omaha, playing because they wanted to play. Was fortunate enough to see them (with Nikki Boulay) performing "Shine all the time" at the Ranch Bowl. (If you were there at the time, you know all about the Ranch Bowl).

Anybody who was alive and in Omaha in the 90's owes it to themselves to have this album.  Anyone who is a fan of good music owes it to themselves to hunt it down too. Maybe its my rose colored glasses but this short 7 song slice if heaven has a permanent spot on my all time top 10 list.


title: Five Stars

text: Good


title: Record is better than described.

text: Arrived in more than reasonable time. The record arrived intact and imo the product is better than expected as described. The record plays better than described. No scratches. Just some very very very light, if any, as with many aged and used records, but for a used record, there is nothing to complain about it. Again, I'm very happy with this record.


title: Bad packaging, great album.

text: Very happy with this brand new, sealed album from 1973. Brand new condition. It's something special to break the the seal from 1973 and play it for the first time ever. Vicente Fernandez, as usual, is a can't miss on any of his albums. This one is no different.<br />The packaging from this seller, however, leaves something to be desired. The brand new, sealed album came in a flimsy, padded pack. The packaging did absolutely nothing to keep the album from being bent during the transit. The edge of the art cover did end up folding and developing creases at two corners, however, the album itself remained intact fortunately.


title: Poor original pressing from this record company

text: Bummed about the weak pressing of the LP i received. This is not the sellers fault, it was simply a weak, defective, original pressing. I was so looking forward to this album as it brings back memories of my grandparents playing Las Mañanitas on Christmas day for my grandmother's birthday and for Christmas. I'll have to search for another record company pressing of this album.


title: killar guitar collaboration

text: Awesome cd,very different for metal shredder. .


title: PRETTY DARN GOOD

text: i agree with the last reviewer - it's not the kind of music you just listen to once and you're hooked - but give it a chance and you might really dig it. it's not for everyone, sure, but what music is? i first got a hold of this when the infamous Gen Art folks sent me a copy. They describe it is "experimental music and storytelling" and that's really the best way to describe it. World Known Musicians like Norah Jones, Elvis Costello, George Harrison, and Eric Clapton collaborate to name only a few. It's super creative folky rocky kind of stuff. Keep an open mind and check it out. Especially if you've ever read one of Rich Shapiro's books.


title: Love Paddy works on the Erie

text: Love Paddy works on the Erie, Drill ye Tarriers, Wreck of the old 97, and the Big Rock Candy Mountain.  Casey Jones is done well but the lyrics are altered somewhat.  A rollicking time.


title: Ahhhhhh nice!

text: Great music from the heart of "indie rock" and with the ever-glorious veneer of dream pop = wonderful


title: Review

text: Real great cd me and my friends love it its a true blessing to give your heart got God try it


title: Glass Really Comes Through in These Piano Transcriptions

text: Perfectly captures the propulsive rhythmic intensity and pathos Glass created in the movie score. Great piano transcription and performance. Some of the finger work in “November 25 Morning” is astounding.


title: Super!

text: The CD came in quickly and brand new, still in plastic cover.  The CD was great, although it only had like five songs, with some karaoke versions.  Overall great!


title: Great Music, new path of discovering.

text: This is great music, flawless product and Wolfgang Rihm is one of my favorite author of contemporary music.<br />Your ear and you brain must learn to discover new path in music and this is a great way to do it.


title: Smooth jazz at it's best

text: Beautifully performed and produced album. All songs (except one) are originally composed by the artist which is very unusual for debut album. Again all songs (exept one) are sung in English, so CD cover and it's title is a bit deceptive. This very nice groovy jazz is best described as Fourplay with lead singer. Zamajobe's voice is clear, natural and soothing. Kudos to Erik Pilani, who plays guitar (and many other instruments) for co-composing, producing and arranging all the songs. Truly exemplary quality of the material makes CD purchase a must. This "ear candy" cannot be fully enjoyed by mp3 download.


title: Disappointed

text: Love James Taylor’s classics, but this compilation seems lifeless and dull. I regret purchasing it.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this album.


title: Powerful!

text: I love Kim Walker-Smith! What an awesome psalmist! Her worship music is some of the best ever! Her love of the Lord shows through her music.


title: Loving Croatian music

text: We love Oliver and miss his music.


title: Not hymns, but pretty

text: My mom liked it, but I think she was expecting more hymns.  It was very pretty though, and had a few songs she hadn't heard since she was younger.


title: BEST SONGS EVER!

text: I used all of the Super Simple Song cds for years when I taught preschool and I also use them with my two-year-old daughter now. They are slower than many other commercially sold songs for young children but still incredibly fun and educational. The slower, repetitive nature makes them easier for young children to learn and sing along. Children just learning verbal skills will enjoy these songs while practicing speech and most songs have simple, fun motions that make them even more engaging. Children with more advanced verbal skills will still love them because of their fun, often silly themes.  The Super Simple Songs website has a lot of printable materials that are helpful companions to the songs and many of the songs are on YouTube so you can see samples of children engaging with the songs and songs with animations.  I have purchased these cds for myself and as gifts for other teachers. They are well loved by all of us!


title: Best Songs Ever!!!


title: Excellent in every way!

text: An excellent set of Mozart symphonies, well recorded, and very well played. The interpretation is straitforward and brings the heart of the music to the fore. Excellent in every way!


A very good performance of this neglected opera. The singing is excellent for all parts. The first act is slow, but sets the scene for the following. The highlight is the finale where everybody descends into the depths. A precursor of Tristan & Isolde, perhaps.


title: Grows on you

text: Bought this CD on a whim after hearing a track on the local independent radio station knowing nothing about the artist. The CD has not disappointed. Nice mix of voice and bare instrumentation. Refreshing tracks that don't seem to copy one genre.


title: Very good Tony Banks CD.

text: Very good Tony Banks CD. 2 songs have Fish as the lead singer. I'd love to hear a full CD of fish/Tony Banks collaborations.  Good Job Tony!!!!!


title: This is great! The complete Concert!!

text: The sound reproduction is very good and it's wonderful to hear the entire concert. UK was a fantastic band that left us with too few musical memories in their short life span. 3 albums. That's why I was so excited to purchase this expanded live album. I'm so happy I did!!!


title: Four Stars

text: Guthrie Trapp guitar technique were so versatile in this album from blues, jazz, country to light rock.


title: Wonderful Music

text: Great recording.  CD arrived as advertised


title: Quality of sound is excellent

text: Added to my collection of classic albums


title: My first Buchet album but not my last!

text: His live recordings are terrific. I have added five more of his albums to my vinyl collection.


title: ... the seller as he promised and it arrived in excellent condition as was advertised

text: I received this album from the seller as he promised and it arrived in excellent condition as was advertised. The vinyl plays well. I am very satisfied with the product.


title: Another Great Album

text: I have watched & listened to Molly play her electric bass and violin since the early 80's when I first saw her play with The Blue Band at a local bar here in Des Moines (Iowa!) and have been a huge fan of hers since. She knows how to sing, play and move and, although I was sad when she left The Blue Band, I am very glad that she has kept on with her music and 'Another Shade of Blue' is a very good example of her talent. I only wish that she and her band would play near here again, maybe even at the state fair and do a set with her former Blue Band mates.


title: But I Know What I Like

text: I have no information about this record. I can't figure out when it was released, or by whom, nor for whom.  What I do know is that it is first rate post-war blues. I got a copy of the song from an anthology of Rhythm and Blues - this would be the blues. Recommended.

title: Scratched but works

text: Received CD in the mail via USPS within 5 days. CD was used as described. CD case is in very good shape and all songs on the CD play without skipping. I gave this only 3 stars because the CD itself was very, very, very scratched up. It literally looks like it was being used as a beverage coaster. I was absolutely shocked that none of the tracks skipped.


title: Bob and Tom and all their people are AWESOME!

text: Omg I absolutely love it!!!!!!! I listen to Bob and Tom everyday ,but We want to hear them when they are not on the air while traveling... listening to them for hours and getting to Utah that  is all morman so driving through what a bummer we can't find any stations how WIERD is THAT? we have bought so many DVDs CDs tee shirts ect we are going to bring all our articles out so we have everything!

text: I love this song.  It is beautiful.


title: Exactly what I was looking for....

text: I am on this album and I lost it many years ago..  This is great to come here and find it again.  Thank you so much.


Excellent LP by Bobby Vee in honor of Buddy Holly. This would be a must for Holly lovers considering it was Vee who filled in for Buddy after that awful plane crash. He sounds like Holly in most of these cuts.


title: Love the Gipsy Kings

text: This CD is one of my Favorites! Especially while traveling through New Mexico and Colorado....Love the Gipsy Kings!


title: Four Stars

text: Funny


title: Bad design of the info, Great info,

text: I wish the Cd had better songs on it, and I wish the package was more like a card or book instead of a trifold insert.


title: Versatile, fun Christmas game!

text: Let me say, this is an EXHAUSTIVE Christmas trivia game! Questions about Christmas that no one knows! Some are really easy and some require a Doctorate of Christmas trivia. Great fun for the whole family. Easy to pop out and and play for 15 mins or 2 hours. Small groups or big groups. ALSO, works great for the car when traveling(of course, the driver can't ask the questions.) Enjoy!


title: Alternative rock in spanish

text: This cd has the better songs of the band between 1994 to 2004, Very heavy and alternative. It sounds great, like Tool or Godsmack but in spanish.


title: Mana with distorted guitars

text: This band sounds like a Mana with distorted guitars. Lyrics ara about love in almost songs but very poor poetry. This músic is acceptable to listen with your girlfriend.


title: Five Stars

text: so excited to get this in!!! already listening to it. well worth the money and time.


title: happy music

text: These two men have voices that perfectly complement each other - a delightful recording.  Had originally on cassette but it died after a long life and I am so happy to replace it again.


title: A Blessing!

text: Anything, and I do mean anything by John Michael Talbot will bless you!


title: Wonderful sound and quality music

text: Very lucky to find this artist! Wonderful sound and quality music. If you have not heard her sing then you are really missing out! Hopefully we will get to hear more from her in the USA!


title: Excellent

text: One of the best worship CDs I've heard.


title: Acoustic Live Pete Towshend

text: Although I have never seen Pete Townshend perform solo, I know I am missing a great deal. This disc is a live performance highlighting Who songs and some of Pete's solo work. The backup band playing compliments Pete's performance. Truly the most beautiful song is North Country Girl. The music sounds nothing like the studio version from the album All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes. This is such a beautiful melody with such pretty lyrics. Overall great performance of many well known songs performed acoustically. An absolute must for lovers of folk and mellow rock. Pete really does seperate himself from how The Who performs and how Pete performs solo.


title: Beautiful, Excellent, inspiring!!!!!!!

text: The cd arrived on time and in excellent condition. Thank you to Amazon and the seller. The cd, Piano Hymns: Stan Whitmire, Solo piano is a very relaxing and beautiful cd. I have enjoyed listening to these wonderful hymn arrangements. Listening to this cd transports you into a worshipful relaxing state of mind. Stan Whitmire also has a companion piano book of hymn arrangements to go along with this cd that can be purchased separately. I  purchased the piano book from the Stan Whitmire website. I highly recommend the book and the cd.


title: Lovely CD

text: I bought this for my Dad and he loved it. The selection of songs and quality of recording was excellent,


text:
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. After James Day's last album, Repetoire, I didn't think it could get any better. Day is an amazing lyricist, bringing universal themes of love and life together with vocals by incredibly talented singers. I watched the teaser on youtube (search James Day Songs) and was so excited to order the album! Last year, Repetoire was part of my summer roadtrip playlist; this year it will be Song, Soul & Spirit.
This album is destined to become a classic -- classy and inspirational.
EDIT: picture added -- #1 in the U.K. Soul charts. Color me impressed.

title: Exelente

text: Muy bueno y recomendable


title: Well Crafted Album...sorry i'm late with a review

text: "because racin' is less about a quick start and more about preparation..." regan says it best. if you are a hip hop fan or an artist yourself, do yourself a huge favor and pick up this album...digi is good but go ahead and grab that hardcopy that'll last forever because you are gonna wanna revisit this. HUGE features in ill bill, joelle ortiz, nottz and more...production is tight. what makes an album great is the ability to play it straight through. this is one of those great albums. go support it.<br />-Grit


title: Disappointed

text: Disappointed in that it did not contain the same musical numbers as in the 1970's production


title: Under the radar

text:
I had the track "downtome" emailed to me several years ago and I immediately dug it. It's a slow depressing burner, a real masterpiece of its kind.

Fast forward to last month, I'm going through my music and come across "downtome" again. It still kills. I think, what's the rest of the album like? I head to the torrent machine, slsk, blogs, all the usual places - the album is nowhere to be found. I plunk the money down for an actual physical copy (can you believe it). And yeah...it's pretty good. I don't know this Jennifer Turner character but she made a decent record. "downtome" is still my favorite but I'll be giving this a few more spins. And...look for it in the usual places shortly. :D She still deserves some of your money though.


title: Good but expensive.

text: The music: great! Slick funk that's not taking itself too seriously. The vinyl: Stunning color, good pressing sound-wise, but came warped (though not beyond playable). The packaging: as minimal as one can get. Seems part of the aesthetic, I suppose. The value: paying $35 for a half hour of music doesn't feel like a great deal. Again, love the music, but feel it should have been sold as an EP in the sub-$20 range.

text: AWSOME


title: LOVE this album, brings me back...

text:
What I wouldn't give to go back to the 90s when my friends and I would go to Trax nightclub in Charlottesville for All Ages Metal Night on Wednesdays to hear Brian, Darrell, Danny, Don, and Pete DESTROY the place. I have a copy of this album I keep in a safe, since it's almost impossible to find. One of my favorite possessions.

Great underground thrash metal with a lot of punk and hardcore mixed in. The singer, Brian Hanneman (RIP), went the opposite way of most Thrash singers. Instead of low, guttural growling, Brian did what I would call "screeching on-key". The guitar work by Pete is almost pure thrash, and Don's excellent drumwork is a mix of thrash and death metal.

If you ever get to listen to this album, make sure to check out Slowly Drained (probably the most "commercial" sounding song), and Blooming of a Black Flower (one of my favorite riffs of all time).


title: Great condition cd & casing .

text: Came as described and very good condition, good cd


title: Five Stars

text: 105/10 would buy again but in LP

text: Very good for young children; learn scripture also.


title: Great sound on this.

text:
I found a copy of this at Amoeba Records in Hollywood this last weekend.  I had my gut feeling it was a bootleg, but went ahead and purchased it anyway.  I'm glad I did.  The pressing is beautiful, on ultra-heavy vinyl (a previous reviewer says they believe it's 200 gram), and it sounds great.  I have a Dutch first pressing that has glorious sound, but a lot of surface noise due to a previous owner not treating it well. This one blows it out of the water.

If this was mastered from digital sources, I don't wanna hear about it!  I've got good ears, and this pleases them.  Definitely superior to many other legit reissues.

The CD quality was not a good as it should have been. It was usable but certainly not "like new" as I expected.


title: CD skips

text: This CD was to replace the first one that skipped.  It skips just as much!  These are junk. The artist’s name is also misspelled on the disc.


title: Great collection of early recordings... interesting, but rough performances.

text: Early recording are an great insight into the formative years of the young group. I get a feeling that many recordings here are more historically important than present excellent musicianship or show the creativity that would later emerge. Yet, he rock'n'roll hits are enduring and it's enjoyable to hear them in the clubs setting. I'd hesitantly say Anthology 1 is for Beatles purists only, despite the broad appeal of the music itself. Casual Beatles fans might prefer the "Live at the BBC" recordings of the rock'n'roll hits by the Fab 4.
