title: Kinks were a seminal band

text: Sadly, the Kinks had terribly inept management.  It cost them USA exposure when that exposure would have solidified their place as one of the leaders of the British invasion.  Driving guitar on "You Really Got Me" to subtle humor of "Lola".  Fantastic band.  A must listen in my mind.


title: if you are a searchers fan buy it to have it otherwise do not

text: Was not a very good effort on the part of the searchers they tried to change their style the best cuts were the new recordings of sweets for my sweet and needles and pins the very best searchers are the sire recordings


title: Five Stars

text: I like this album very much.  And the product and delivery were great.  Price exceptional.


title: A cut above the rest

text: I have listened to workshops given at Legacy Center and and other places by the authors of this CD.  To be able to translate the distinctions in a workshop to a CD is no small feat.  I am very picky on the CDs I listen to an these have tons of value.  The topic on winning at The Game of Life is timely always and particularly now.

title: Every entertaining

text: Loved this novela . Very funny.


title: Fondly remembered

text: This 3-record set was my introduction to opera in the 70s. It was the start of a long road of love for opera to this day. The set is buried in my basement with my LP collection including, incidentally, the Seraphim Guides to German Lieder and to the Classics (10 records in the latter), all fondly remembered. Seraphim was the budget label of Angel Records, a mainline classical label then.


Sharon McNight is a national Treasure. Plus behind her beautiful voice is even a more beautiful woman. Every song  becomes her own. Sharon reminds me of what they called ladies with big voices even if you're high up. "The Belters" like Ethel Merman and Barbra Streisand come to mind. This my second the fast was a cassette that wore out now its a CD.


title: Great music collection.

text: This is great music collection. I enjoy Ned Spurlock's playing, having first listened on audio cassette. I have bought two other titles on CD, and recommend these recordings


title: Great sound for the season.

text: A friend recommended this to me and I am very happy to buy this on audio cassette. This is packed and shipped promptly, and is as described in the sellers offer. Would buy again from this seller. Thank you.


title: Great selection of songs.

text: Great selection of songs.


title: Classic and arrived in excellent condition

text: Just how I remembered it from my childhood.  Classic Bugs Bunny, they don't make them like that any more.  It was purchased used but was in excellent condition; obviously very well cared for.


title: Gorgeous album!

text: Edges were marginally bent but overall came in good condition, and Heize always has the most gorgeous photobooks ❤


title: Right product & it works as shown!

text: Great music, relaxing and soothing!


title: Good quality sound,and hear the best DooWop

text: I'm glad this CD case came with out any damage.So I just got to enjoy the great music!


title: Rare Musical Talent.

text: One of the most talented and underrated jazz composers I have ever listened to. Konstantine’s productions are almost hypnotic. What a entertaining journey. Waiting for the arrival of vol. VIII. Can’t wait for vol. X, and XI.


title: Good packaging, fast shipping and great classic muisic.

text: Vintage Neil Young. Great music.


title: Very Good Recording!

text: Very good recording here!  I am always hesitant on buying these non-official live albums, but this one is worth it.  I really am not sure if this IS an unofficial album or not, or if it was sanctioned by the band, but regardless, it DOES sound nice and clear throughout.  If you are a Dead Kennedys fan, I highly suggest this.  Yes, it's short, at only about a half hour, but you will be pleased with it.  This doesn't sound like a bootleg, but rather from a soundboard.  Thanks to the record company that made this available on Amazon fir us to order.  Well worth it!!!


title: CLAP LIKE OZZY!!!

text: Finally in Jewel-Case Form!  I am NOT a fan of cheap, cardboard digipacks, and when I went to see Sabbath at the Forum in L.A., sure enough, "The End" E.P. was only sold as a digipack.  I still bought it, because of the new music on it and the live tracks...but I wasn't happy with the cheap cardboard.  So for all the collectors out there, we finally have a jewel-case version.  There's three original songs here leftover from the 13 sessions, along with four live tracks.  All good stuff.  Listen to it loud and CLAP LIKE OZZY!!!


title: AMAZING BOX SET!  BUY IT!!!

text:
An amazing box set here.  The BIGGEST selling point for me was the AUDIO CD of the "Live at Wacken 2014" concert, which is NOT included as part of the regular cd/limited set...only here.  So the whole live show is here, which is like a bonus album in an of itself.  And this isn't no bootleg...it's an OFFICIAL release by Slayer.  Aside from the audio cd, you get the regular cd of "Repentless", a dvd of the Live at Wacken 2014 concert, a BLU RAY of that live show, a picture disc, a giant poster, and a 12' by 12' picture of the band.

Get your hands on this ASAP, before it sells out.  WELL WORTH THE PRICE!!!


title: Sister22

text: The unique style of this music is what drew me to buy this album.  And the writing and lead vocals are great!!  These guys are really making a statement with this one.  I definitely recommend these Jersey guys to EVERYONE!!


title: Memories!

text: This brings back memories of roadtrips and partying from my teens.


title: I Love Kate Bush

text: I love Kate bush so much, I envy the U.K for sharing the same space with someone as musically gifted as she is, what a treasure.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent if disturbing book.  Read it.  Too few of us know what these men went through


title: Great songs from Johnny Mathis

text: Johnny Mayhis is just a great singer. His voice is telling you love is all around you.


title: Great interpretation

text: One of best interpretations ever of Rite of Spring


title: Very nice and calming music.

text: A very nice CD.


title: Your virgin hard-wood will remain pure!

text: If you want a little rubber nub to fit over your kid’s end-pin look no further. This little beauty does the trick! No end-pin will ever impregnate your floor with end-pin scratches. Rest assured your virgin hard-wood will remain pure with this rubber stopper.


title: Wonderful!

text: Love the music. Great artist


title: Grew up on this!

text:
I have heard this for years on countless tapes. When I was growing up in Knoxville we would listen and laugh. As teens we heard "Leroy" was a convict with his own phone in his cell that would make prank calls... Or that he was a crazy former lawyer, now mad, making prank phone calls all day.

This collection has most of the calls I have heard on it. However, there are more that are not on this CD. Maybe some day they will release another. I know there may have been another call to C&C's that is not on this one, and a funny call to "Mr's LaRue on Minnesota" that's missing.

What makes me mad -- people trying to release bogus, fake CD's and material about Leroy. There is only ONE Leroy Mercer and it is this CD. And if you don't believe that, just wait til my brother gets off work. Someone's a** could get whupped over this!


title: Great buy

text: Awsome


title: 10,000 hours of practice?😧

text:
I am sure all the information in this program is wonderful, yet it was a total turn off when the author mentioned in the introduction that you will achieve results after ten thousand hours of practice!

At 62 yrs old I don't feel I have enough time for this.  Actually I don't know anyone personally that would be willing to devote 10,000 hours to the program.

If someone is doing it, I say Bravo, you should be a Genuis!


title: Instrumental Gold

text: I have and always love instrumental music from any era. The purchase of this CD would be determined by the collection of the music and the artist involved. I loved it myself.


title: Fantastic collection from prog masters!

text: Great compilation of latter day albums from the mighty and benevolent Flower Kings! The 3 discs of bonus material are worth the price of admission alone. Round Stolt and company deliver hours of blissful prog . Whether you are new to the Kings charms or a longtime fan this set is a must have!


title: Great!

text: Good for kids...without being annoying! My kids love these songs for their instrumental value and silliness. I enjoy them because they have some actual talent represented. Lullaby also included so that you can mellow the kids out.


title: Five Stars

text: This music is amazing if you like upbeat Celtic folk songs.


I miss the soulful ness of this Amazing singer. His emotions resonate through the whole song..<br />A life gone too quickly..love him for life!!!@


title: An Album Not To Be Missed

text: This is an excellent version of Dylan's debut album and provdes a lot more of his early music. It adds to the Dylan material I have available for use on my radio programs.


title: What a waste

text: What a waste! There really are no meditations, no "programming" that can be done with this. Here is what they do, they tell you that you are going to learn the mental screen method.  They count you down into an "alpha" state then spend the entire time talking about how the mental screen works, but doing absolutely no guiding giving you the ability to do it yourself.  This happens over and over again. Some of these sessions are literally a few minutes long with them talking about how well it's going to work but not really teaching you anything except how to relax and do some affirmations. I know how to relax.  We all can get into an alpha state by breathing deeply and slowly.<br />The worst is the one at the end with Jose Silva.  He counts you down and tells you all about the Silva Method and positive affirmations.  He counts you down to a level one, then he begins to tell you how to get out of the alpha state, counting back 1 to 5.  He actually does it and he says you will be wide awake.  Then after he wakes you up, then he says, "I will now count from 10 to 1 bringing you deeper. . . ."(something like that, I can't remember the exact words he says).  Crazy. Absolutely Crazy! This is really just nothing but a waste of money!


title: Excellent

text: Really enjoyed each and every rendition on this album!


title: Fascinating Outlier

text: Maxim Shostakovich has recorded some wonderful performances of his father's works, many of them out of print and difficult to find. This 8th is among the slowest on record, but keeps the tension up and delivers powerfully in the big moments. It commands attention. It is also beautifully recorded, with a nice combination of detail and space.


title: Good News from Gloucester

text: One of the better Nativites out there, tending toward the bright-eyed rather than mysterious, but fully grasping the unusual moods, rhythms and stresses of what, after all, were originally Advent improvisations. Gorgeous, clear and spacious recording.


title: NOT what it says it is.

text: Regis had to withdraw this recording, as it was found to be a dupe of the Chandos CD with Frans Helmerson and Valery Polyansky. If Shafran and Ivanov had recorded this material I would be among the first to buy it, but they never did.


title: A peice of history. Not sure it would mean ...

text: A peice of history. Not sure it would mean much to anyone who's not old enough to remember the Chicago 8 (later 7) trail. But a trip down memory lane for those of us that are.


title: Can't play 3 hour concerts, won't stay in tune and have fret buzz.

text: I really loved this guitar until after around 3 months of playing. I started performing 3 hour concerts and it doesn't stay in tune, I've also had issues with fret buzz. Very disappointed as this guitar has a nice fat sound, but I have to be able to rely on the guitar that it will stay in tune and I won't have to get the guitar adjusted after 2 weeks of playing.


title: One Star

text: won't work


title: Flute usic

text: Quiet music for sleeping. Easy to fall asleep.


title: 1 Good, 1 Bad

text: This CD is imported from Russia.  The "Plays Pretty Just For You" seems to be a valid stereo version of the original album.  "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", however, is a mess.  It is not in stereo, and only contains approximately 25 minutes of the original 35 minute album.  All selections are incomplete and the "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" selection is only 4:28 compared to the original 2-part selection lasting 9:27.  A real rip-off.  The original selections from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" are currently only available from iTunes.


title: It Doesn't get Better than Moffo

text:
I also have the original lp with most of this music since it was first issued.  Even more than the vocal beauty, is the sensuous phrasing that sets Moffo apart.  She really caresses you with her voice.  My all time favorite version of Rachmaninoff's Vocalise.  I also heard Moffo in concert and the lady was amazing.  She sang more variety than most do in a career.......and all superlative....from the Bell Song to the Auvernge songs, and glittering Sonambula with an interpolated high G!!

Don't miss this one!!


title: The Second Wrold War: I Can Hear It Now

text: New CD came in sealed packaging and was in very good condition.  The recording is the same as the original on the LP records.  A must for history buffs.


title: Muse cd ~ THE 2ND LAW

text: Saw these guys live and fell in love with the music. Great cd


title: Megadeth rust in piece cd

title: Booty Shakin' Gold!

text:
Of the "booty shakin'" genre CDs sold here at Amazon.com, this one by far is the most bootylicious.

I recommend all collectors of the "booty shakin' generation" purchase this.


title: I passed.

text: I passed on the first attempt but spent a ton on study methods. Not sure which one helped the most, just glad it's over.


title: Four Stars

text: My sister loved it and full of quality content. Just in time for the holidays.


title: Well worth the cost

text: Beautiful cards with very nice & sympathetic verses.


title: very clean Hawaiian

text: Aloha, great cd fantastic Hawaiian selections


title: Best disco compilation ever!

text: Great cd


title: Rumba music is for International, not American Rumba

text: We purchased this product of WRD Worldwide Music for Cha Cha (on CD1) and Rumba (on CD2).  Most of the Cha Cha music we like.  However, the Rumba music at 23 to 25 measures per minute (= 92 to 100 beats per minute - BPM) is far too slow for the American Rumba (120-144 BPM) we dance.  Indeed it's on the slow end of the preferred range for even International Rumba (96-112 BPM).  WRD is to be commended for listing song tempos, but the abbreviation used "BPM" is confusing, because "BPM" is usually considered to mean beats per minute, not bars per minute.  Instead "MPM" for measures per minute would be unambiguous.


title: Picked this up in a used bin and it's really great

text: This is apparently a guitar duo known as Hill and Wiltchinsky and I'm going to look for them again.  Not a lot of distracting instruments, mostly just the guitars and that's great.  So many guitarists feel like they need to add distracting instruments to fill the sound, but I like the purity of the guitar strings.  And here they are recorded pretty well - it almost sounds like steel strings playing these mostly Latin songs.  It looks like these guys play classical guitars so it must have been excellent mics to hear all the harmonics off the gut strings.  I'm really curious what instruments and strings they used for this.  Well done!  Wish there were more descriptive credits but maybe these were CD's they sold at their gigs.  I suppose they could have had a Latin song like Besame Mucho instead of Light My Fire but hey, that's about the only incongruous song.  I suppose it is sort of "easy listening" but so many of those kinds of records are cheesy and bad production. This one feels like these guys actually have a feel for the material and good musicianship that they don't hide with spurious drum tracks.  I don't really like their arrangement of Ipanema but you can see they put some thought into it and tried for their own original take and effect - which has its own value.  Great to listen to late at night as you are drifting off.  A great find from the used bin for 50 cents.  Worth much more.  In fact, I thought I should go on Amazon and review it just in case you'd be looking for something like this.


title: Great band from CA

text:
I heard about Millville Plains MVP in 2006. They were playing shows around SF and Pacifica, Ca.  Kind of a redneck take on California Soul... imagine the Mother Hips if they worked construction and practiced 1/4 as much. More hooks, less noodle roni.

Lots of guitar and keyboard solos. Not the best vocals pipes, but with alot of heart and live not afraid to flirt.

I bought their CD at a few shows before. Contact info was and still is a PO Box.

They are still around, playing sporadically between diaper changes and trips to Thailand.


title: Great and Eclectic Music!

text: Everything from duelling fiddles to bagpipe music!  This is our go-to CD for long road trips!


title: Great listening To Darlene Love in the 1960s

text: Had never heard of the Blossoms – happened to see a photo of them in the 50 year anniversary of Elvis's NBC comeback special and then through the Internet learned that Darlene Love was the lead singer. Have collected virtually every song that ever made the top 100 during the years 1954 – 1970 so this was a true "find" for me. Great listening to Darlene's voice in the early years although the songs were fairly repetitive and only a few memorable.


title: Good to hear Anita again....

text: Had this track years ago on a cassette tape. Since technology has changed I had to get this CD to listen to her great music..


title: Five Stars

text: Just fabulous!!!


title: Love it!

text: Love anything Sesame Street.


title: NatureQuest: Spirit Visions CD replaced

text:
Years ago I had purchased this particular NatureQuest. I had had it in cassette form and used to play it in my truck while driving... helped to ease away the stresses of the day. One late night my truck was stolen from in front of my home. Along with stealing the truck all of my tapes that were in a carrying case I kept in it. Sadly this tape was in it. I tried to locate a replacement for this particular tape but to no avail. After a few years I searched Amazon and to my joy I found it. It was a CD version but that was ok... I could listen to it on my laptop.

I purchased it from hootowlproductions and was very happy with how quickly it was shipped out. They really made my day.

If you love hearing nature sounds mixed with Native American music I recommend this CD.[[ASIN:B001H97MFY NatureQuest: Spirit Visions]]


title: Nice job.

text: Nice job of adding different instrumentation to the Decca/4 Star material.  Some of my favorites were used such as Your Stronger than me.  The Nashville recordings or Opry recordings sound great.  Love they used introductions, you even hear Patsy talked a little bit.  The demos sound great.  They cleaned up wonderfully.


title: Great Gift for a music lover.

text:
Great job on the "remixes" here.  I have always loved Suspicion.  I like the fact they took off the backup vocals.  It's neat to hear this in your face version.  Blueberry Hill really goes back to Fats roots, very roots rock and roll and R/B.  I like the addition of strings and horns to songs as on It's Now or Never and Fountain of Love..

The sound is well mixed and there is a good variety of songs.  These remixes seemed to drawer younger listeners.  I guess they feel the sounds is fresher.  I feel it's a good thing for the artist.


title: Great job.

text: Another great job by Voicemaster.  Very enjoyable, just delightful.  My mother really enjoyed it.  I think it brought some great memories for as child hearing the Opry.  Sound is very good.


title: Genuine and good.

text: I really liked this album.  Genuine is how I would describe the performances.  Not the commercial stuff that you find so much of today.


title: Good Stuff

text: This guy is the violinist with Jesse Cook and is amazing playing Cook's stuff as well as his own.  He actually has 2 CD's and both are good.  Seeing him in concert brings out a lot of his musical versatility as when playing with Cook he plays more than just the violin.  This CD or his other will not disappoint.


title: Great service

text: Great sell, super fast shipping.


title: Four Stars

text: I am a fan will forgive imperfections.


title: Five Stars

text: IT IS EVERY THING i THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE THANKS


title: Great cd

text:
As a long time YES fan I have all the studio stuff and a lot of live stuff
This cd is freaking awesome
Touring the Relayer album, it is excellent
Get it
Sound is good
Music is great
Not your run of the mill live YES cd


title: Sweet live album.

text: Awesome live version of Sinatra and a song I've never heard of called "FBLA 1/2".  Unsung is played a little fast and no Blacktop, but has Distracted and one of my favorites, Rude. 10 live songs from Strap It On and Meantime and one from Born Annoying. Came quick and well packaged.


title: Got what I ordered, no surprises!

text: I liked that the product met the description very accurately. Got what I ordered and it was on time. A pleasant experience that means I would buy again from this seller.


title: Sound so-so

text: Less than great sound.  No surprise for a boot.


title: Does what is says!

text: This CD is very effective at relaxation during this anxious world.  Love the slow steady pace of the voice with comforting words that I should be telling myself.  Through repeated uses, I can start using these relaxation techniques even when not listening to the CD.  Although this CD is not basically a religious CD, it can work along with some of my Bible readings that I read each morning.


title: Authentic Emmylou Harris!

text: Good authentic period audio. Just what I ordered.


title: Disappointed. Old CD.

text: Old CD and based on minimal descriptions I thought it was a newer one. I've heard him before and this sounds like the first recording he did.


title: Bluegrass with Jewish roots? A great success.

text: For lovers of bluegrass, this is a very skilled group of musicians. For those who like roots music, especially Hebrew roots music, this is a wonderful addition to your collection. I thoroughly enjoy this album.


This CD combines yoga nidra, chakra meditation and other meditations and philosophic ideas.  When you buy it, you also get access to an MP3.  It has relaxing Indian music and chanting.  You can listen to it pretty often and still get the relaxing effect.


title: I grew up with these records (and "Through the Looking Glass" as well

text: Listening to Cyril Richard read the two Alice books makes me happy.  When we were sick, our mom would play these as background or comfort sound.  I wish that Audible would also have the second book as an MP3.


title: He's still on top.

text: After all the years, he can still sing a song with more feeling than the next 100 singers combined.  He also has a gift for picking the right partner for the right song.


title: Train to Auschwitz

text:
Phans ripping off phans.

Not hetty brahs


title: That's Why I Pray was great.

text: The main song (That's Why I Pray) I like a lot but I didn't like any of the other songs on the cd at all.


title: Well done!  Arrived in  excellent condition plays perfectly.

text:
Purchased as a gift for a friend’s record collection.
The seller did exceed my expectations!
Well packaged excellent condition and arrived ahead of date promised.  A+


title: Hard to find, worth the effort

text: No Angels was an absolutely brilliant show, and a large part of my enjoyment of it came from the music that so often set the mood for the scene.  The soundtrack for the second series is fantastic if you enjoy the likes of Etta James, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin and Betty Wright.  There's not a bad song to be found on this cd, highly recommended, even if you've never seen the show.


title: Five Stars

text: great band


title: Excellent

text: Great new record


title: Best Pictures At an Exhibiton. Period.

text: Perhaps the greatest performance of Mussorgsky's Pictures, in my opinion anyway.  You won't regret owning this.  Moiseiwitsch was one of the greatest of the old school Russian pianists and a close friend of Rachmaninoff, who stated that he played his music better than he did himself.  This recording was made in one session, without cuts or editing, and has a power which few others have brought to this monumental work.  There are some extraneous sounds and a few missed notes, but what feeling and a sense of grandeur.  You're going to like it!


title: Five Stars

text: Well designed and presented.


title: LET IT RAIN!

text: RAIN is amazing as always! Great surprises in the box!


title: Four Stars

text: Bought it because I used to know Tony Blunt


title: Nice music.

text: Favorite artists.


title: Five Stars

text: I love joni Lamb and the Daystar singers and band.


title: Five Stars

text: Love love it!!


title: Missing libretto

text: I was very disappointed to receive the opera without a libretto.  One should be able to assume that the libretto is included with the recording as has been standard practice for decades.  The product description should specify when the libretto is not included.


title: Pristine

text: A great copy of a classic


title: It's a winner

text: This is one of the grey market live radio broadcasts. I've got a number of them and some can be trash. Not so this one. A very nice source tape gives us a great show. Giving a number is so subjective suffice to say all but those that only want a big lable perfect release will find this very enjoyable.  Now as for the RIAA mouthpieces before you get on your soap box about not being paid etc. Go read up on copyright the history and theory of same


title: Gooood

text: This is not a studio or Reprise live recording but it's still great


title: Good news

text: I'm a music collector,  as such I'm  very familiar with the European radio broadcast exception especially Keyhole. Being a Zappa fanatic I took a chance.  Keyhole has put out some real trash but in this case they came through.  The audio quality is that of a high quality boot 8.5 or better. I would recommend this


title: A good addition

text: The question I will answer is the audio quality of the release. A very good grey market release. While not professionally recorded for release, this is a top notch sounding album


title: Good show but......

text: In one sense the audio is quite good for one of these shows. Unfortunately there must have been a hurricane because the station keeps losing its center the result is regular scratchy static. Also a lot of simbalance (?). Overall spend your money on other F Z


title: No complaints about sound here

text: This show has made the rounds over the years. It's top quality and a nice show


title: Total Fun

text: I bought this when it 1st came out. I saw "Spider" John Koerner's name and thought he was in the band. He wasn't, just on 1 song. No the to worry it's a blast. Let's see what kind of music is it? How about at the bar with your friends good time grown up let's have fun music. If you're thinking about this then you should buy it you won't regret it


title: another aspect of one of the most diverse men in music

text: This is early jerry i personally  can't get enough of him


title: mine is the one Paul scribbled to Jac should we get these guys on Electra

text: A must for anyone who wants an understanding of white boy college blues circa 1963


title: holds up well

text: Great value good sound of one of the best that Wenner destroyed


title: Dissatisfaction, disappointment, costly.

text: Originally ordered two if these double cd's. One was a Christmas gift and one was for myself.  The one of the  cd's gifted to my brother was broken (cracked). I reordered immediately as I was wanted my brother to enjoy his Christmas gift .  So yes, this was a major disappointment which also cost me more money. Thank You, George Anderson


title: One of the best albums I have ever owned!

text:
A close friend of mine dragged me to their show several years ago and I now am quite upset with her. She got me hooked on an exceptional band that has it all: vocals that amaze, sounds that change from song to song, presence whether on the CD or in concert... This is a CD I literally listen to every week.
So why am I upset with her? She got me hooked on a band that is no longer together. And when I think about the songs I heard in concert that I will never be able to buy on CD, I feel like crying...
Buy this CD. It is amazing.


title: Took awhile to get it

text: Loved the product, undamaged goods. I realize it was shipped from Russia, but I didn't think it would really take all that long to get here.  Thanks


title: why

text:
why did they pull the ever annoying 'hidden track' nonsense at the end of the album. It has been done to death and is always, always, totally pointless. Gee, we get a song after 5 minutes of hiss, or rain, or silence? Wow, that is neat.

Immediate downgrade for that. Overall, this is a let-down. Weak song-writing, bad production, songs that go on too long with no variation (see songs 1 and 2), and the completely pointless hidden track thing.

The Unicorns they aint.


title: Cracked Jewel Case as Usual with Amazon

text: The music is excellent as is the resolution. Four stars though because as usual, Amazon hasn't figured out how to properly ship a compact disc in a manner safe enough to prevent the the jewel cases from cracking during shipping. Almost every CD I order comes with at least one major crack of the case. Get it together Amazon.


title: The music

text: Great music from a great band!


title: Killer Album

text: Bought this for my 15 year old girl and now I love FOB too.  Took her on a road trip this summer to see them.  Awesome time!! And it all started with me getting her this album from Amazon!


title: Great product and fast delivery

text: CD arrived in great condition and earlier than expected.  Thank you very much!


title: World Class Americana !!!

text:
Sharon hasn't had big record company marketing exposure, so you may not have heard of this album.
Sharon has a world class voice. The writing (music & lyrics) is creative, easy to listen to and keeps your attention throughout the album.
The production is first rate... as good as any top studio in the U.S.

Put this together and you've got a FIRST CLASS CD of Americana music that is wonderful to listen to even if you don't traditionally listen to this style of music. it's that good !


title: Liz Story available on Amazon!

text: Love Liz Story and she has been hard to find!


title: Although a great idea and novelty gift

text: Although a great idea and novelty gift, one needs to be aware it is from the UK .the references of what something cost was not in US dollars. Even the music was off for the US.


title: Burnette Delivers

text: If you like rockabilly, Billy Burnette delivers as usual. This is my third album from Burnette and is moving fast towards my favorite.


title: Memories

text: I like the talent they had. The CD brings memories of days of yore, many of my favorite tunes from way back when.


title: Great album.

title: From Bach to Led Zep to Traditional Mexican Son and Beyond

text: These guys are wonderful.  Mexican immigrants to Chicago, they manage on this one album to move from several lively and lovely traditional Mexican songs (Son, Mariachi, and digging even deeper into the roots of ancient Mexico) through a terrific jarocho version of a Brandenburg Concerto, to Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land (which sounds way cool in Spanish) and even a pretty good (Aztec) version of Led Zeppelin's Four Sticks.  These guys use over seventy different acoustic instruments on the album, including guitarrón, vihuela, guitar, fiddle, and harp.  The sound is great, the breadth is astounding, and the album is an amazing cross-cultural-intercultural entertainment.  Lots of fun and great listening.

title: Kudos on this Sophomore Effort!

text: I saw this group in S. Korea in 2004. There were great live and I have both of their CDs Pull the Scars and Six Feet From Silence. It broke my heart when they folded. The first CD is a little raw, but it was very emotional. The second was very polished and should have been a mainstream success.


title: audio version has a problem

text:
I enjoyed Epstein's intricate account of Dylan's performances and studio recordings, particularly the challenges and details involved in staging live shows that attempted to capture the precise sound Dylan insisted on. Epstein also provides numerous anecdotes about Dylan's life through interviews with other folk singers, friends, and musicians, including members of Dylan's studio and touring bands.

One thing I did NOT enjoy, however, was that the reader (Bronson Pinchot) of the audio CD version mispronounced Phil Ochs' name repeatedly throughout the book. (Side note: Ochs was a '60s - '70s singer/songwriter and political activist, probably best known for his songs "There But For Fortune," covered by Joan Baez and others, the satirical "Draft Dodger Rag" and "Love Me, I'm a Liberal," and the civil rights epic "Here's To the State of Mississippi.") Phil Ochs died in 1976. It's a dishonor to his legacy that the CD version of this book can't even get his name right. How did such an error slip through the audio production? Hard to understand.

title: Awesome adventure score from Mr. Goldsmith!

text:
Night Crossing is a 1982 Disney film based on a true story about two East German families who escape into the West by Hot Air Balloon in 1979.  It stars the great John Hurt, Beau Bridges and Jane Alexander, and was directed by Delbert Mann.  The score was written by the great Jerry Goldsmith, who fashions one of his most powerful and adventurous scores in his entire career.

There are three primary themes written for this powerhouse score; first is a brutal-percussion driven theme which represents the oppressive and militant side of East Germany (and is kind of a descendant to the title theme from Capricorn One).  The second is a pretty accordion waltz that represents the families and their dream of freedom.  While some would argue it's the weakest in the entire score, but I think it serves its purpose very well.  The third is the heart of the entire score, the uplifting flight-theme which is conceived from the construction of the balloon, to the testing and finally to its full glory in the cues; "Success", "First Flight", "Final Flight" and "Into the West".  There is so much complexity in this multi-layered score, yet it never ceases to be entertaining!  Personal favorite cues include; Main Title (Part 2), All in Vain, The Picnic, Plans, First Test, Success, First Flight, The Patches, Tomorrow We Go, Final Flight, Into the West, and End Titles.

This soundtrack was released by Intrada in 1987, and then again in 1994, but expanded (that product has since become a collectible) and finally in 2014 with a more complete product which includes alternate takes on two key themes and a source cue that is briefly heard in the film.  I would highly recommend picking up the more recent soundtrack because it has the same remastered sound as the 1994 CD and is more affordable.  This is one Goldsmith score I cannot recommend enough; it's just a bold and powerful adventurous score that doesn't get old in the slightest!


title: Awesome Gem from Alan Silvestri

text:
Young Guns II is the sequel to the hit western, starring Emilio Estevez, Keifer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater, James Coburn and William Petersen.  Continuing a year later after the Lincoln County Wars, YG2 picks up with Billy the Kid (Estevez) having made a name for himself and now on the run from the law which is being lead by his once friend Pat Garrett (now sheriff).

In comes composer Alan Silvestri, famous for well known scores such as; Back to the Future, Predator, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and The Abyss (at the time) had just finished recording the final BTTF score when he was hired to write the music for this film.  To my knowledge, this would actually be his first time scoring a western, but he delivered in spades.  This score is a great mix of orchestra, flamenco and electric guitars, keyboards and choir.  Wild, ominous (at times), colorful, moody, and just great fun are all that I can describe this great score by Mr. Silvestri.  My personal favorite cues are; Scars, Lynch Mob, Battle, Little Tom Dies, Chavez's Wound, and Stolen Horse (Finale).

This score has had a long waiting period of being released, and in 2011 Intrada delivered this score in full thanks to Mr. Silvestri himself.  If you are a fan of the movie or of the composer and you ever get the chance to purchase this album, do so because it is just an enjoyable ride from beginning to end.


title: Hidden Disney Western Gem from Goldsmith!

text:
One Little Indian is a 1973 western from Disney, starring James Garner, Vera Miles, Clay O'Brien, Jodie Foster (young) and Pat Hingle.  Garner plays a soldier accused of mutiny and desertion, O'Brien plays a runaway who is marked as an Indian boy and both escape from the Cavalry on the backs of camels; one of which is named "Rosie".  They later on run into a widow and her daughter (Miles and Foster) who must choose between helping them escape or holding them until the Cavalry shows up.

The film is not well remembered today, except for one little fact; the film was scored by the great Jerry Goldsmith.  For this little film, Goldsmith writes a pretty solid western score that is warm and melodic, with plenty of action for this genre.  The score starts out with an explosive opening of action that always gets me excited for the experience.  Now, this score is not all action, as I stated above this score does have some warm cues that are a pleasure to listen to.  There is a tiny bit of comedy in this score, though it's only limited to the scenes involving the camels.  Favorite cues include; Escort the Prisoner, He's White, Thirsty Boy, End of the Line, Hot Fire, Go After Him!, and A Free Man.

While this may not be one of Jerry's more well-known western scores, I consider it a very good one in his long career of scoring films.  This movie was only the first Disney movie Mr. Goldsmith would write the music for, but it led to more assignments from Disney; such as the 1982 film Night Crossing, 1985's Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, and his most well known Disney entry, 1998's Mulan.  This album is highly enjoyable and comes recommended by me for all fans of Goldsmith, Disney fans, and soundtrack fans.


title: Beautiful, lyrical and dramatic music from Mr. James Horner!

text:
The Journey of Natty Gann is a beloved family movie by Disney from 1985; among its cast is a young John Cusack, Ray Wise, and Meredith Salenger in her first starring role.  The film takes place in Depression-era Chicago, where a young girl named Natty Gann is on a mission to find her father.  Along the way, she comes across two friends; a homeless drifter, and a wolf she helps set free from a fighting-ring who accompany her on her perilous journey across America.  It is a very underrated film in my opinion, and is definitely worth a watch.

When the film was in post-production, producers called on famed veteran composer, Elmer Bernstein to score the film, however his score for some reason got rejected.  Not long after that, a young but very talented and upcoming composer named James Horner was called in to write a replacement score for the film, and what the filmmakers got was something absolutely amazing!  Mr. Horner at this point in his career had made a name for himself from scoring the 1982 film Star Trek II, and continued to score many more films after that.  This score is beautiful; it has elements of Americana in it, and has a lyrical approach that makes it very elegant and dramatic.  Personal favorite cues include; Main Title, Leaving, Freight Train, First Love, Farewell, and Reunion-End Title.

This score has been requested to be released by Horner fans for years and years, and in 2009, Intrada Records finally granted these wishes with a 2,500 copy limited edition of this fantastic score with the help of Horner himself and his longtime sound engineer and friend Simon Rhodes.  If you are a Horner fan, a soundtrack collector, or a lover of great film music, I highly recommend this beautiful piece of orchestral scoring by one of Hollywood's greatest composers.


title: Fantastic score from an under-appreciated Composer!

text:
Masters of the Universe is a 1987 fantasy film based on the popular toy franchise "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" from Mattel.  This movie was made at the height of He-Man's popularity back in the mid 80s by Cannon Films, and was directed by Gary Goddard.  Needless to say, the film failed to live up to expectations, because of its premise and because He-Man fans were not happy with what they received.  However, the film has gained a following over the years and some He-Man fans still enjoy this movie.

However, film score fans were not disappointed with the music that was written for the film, provided by the under-appreciated composer, Bill Conti.  Mr. Conti is one of the great film composers of our time; he has scored many films such as The Karate Kid, The Right Stuff, and the legendary score to Rocky.  To this day, this film remains his only entry in the fantasy genre, but he gave us an amazing score.

Every time this score is released, it sells out rather quickly, due to how popular it is with fans of Conti.  This is the fourth time this score has been re-released, preceded by the La-La Land Records set that expanded the score over 2 CD's and included the short Varese Sarabande album.  This is Intrada's version, and they snugly fit the entire score onto one CD, which is fantastic because you don't have to switch between CD's which was a little inconvenience for some.  If you are a fan of Bill Conti, the movie, or a soundtrack collector, you should definitely pick up a copy of this fantastic score before it goes out of print again.


title: Outstanding music by Broughton!

text:
Glory & Honor was a television movie that premiered on TNT in 1998.  It is the story of the two men who discovered the North Pole; Robert Peary and his valet, Matthew Henson.  I have never seen the movie, but I can imagine it is quite incredible.  However, I am reviewing Bruce Broughton's outstanding score to this very little known gem of a movie (which has yet to be released on DVD).

First of all, Bruce Broughton writes a solid heroic theme for our heroes.  It is grand, sweeping, and pulls you in with its Americana sound.  The main obstacles that stand in the way of our explorers are the elements and racial boundaries, and Broughton does a good job of scoring both to keep things interesting.  For our heroes must overcome 15 below zero degree weather and depend on each other if they are to survive and make it to their objective.  There is a short love theme for Henson when he finds a woman to court, and a ragtime cue to help the process (after all, this movie takes place in the early twentieth-century).  In the end, Broughton brings it all together to write a triumphant finale to this adventure.

This score helped Broughton win his seventh Emmy for "Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries or Movie."  The booklet includes informative liner notes from the producer of the album and the composer himself.  A solid package, highly recommended for movie score lovers and Broughton fans.  Part of Intrada's Signature Edition collection, this album is limited to 1200 copies and is available at Intrada for purchase.  Bruce Broughton really knows how to compose music.


title: Early Ambitious Score for Horner

text: When I first heard about Wolfen, I had no idea what it was about.  After doing some research, I found that to his credit, James Horner scored this horror film.  Upon hearing that Intrada released the complete score to this 1981 movie, I had to get my hands on a copy.  My copy came in today, no damages and I am very pleased.  After listening to this soundtrack, I now know that this didn't quite put him on the map, but it did help him get chosen to score the movie that did make him a household name, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.  Overall, if you want to know where James Horner's career started, I say order a copy and find out.  I wasn't disappointed with it, and you won't be either.


title: Great CD!

text: Big fan of Daniel.  Enjoy all of the musical selections in this CD.  This CD did not disappoint.  Would recommend if a fan  of good music performed by a great artist.

title: Steinbeck-ian naturalism-themed ecologically minded songs from one of L.A.'s best bands

text:
I See Hawks in L.A. are one of my favorite local L.A.-based bands, and last fall, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, they quietly released their tenth studio album, titled On Our Way (August 27, 2021, was the official release date from their very own record label, Western Seeds Records). Their songs as have Steinbeck-ian naturalism themes and their albums are typically filled with ecologically minded songs about being respectful and simply awestruck at the beauty to be found in nature, and songs that talk about the destruction we’re all doing to Mother Earth.

It's a terrific album you'll probably dig if, like me, you like Americana, country-rock and folk, and also enjoy "lyrical celebrations of earth and ecosphere, odes to the endless highway, and wry social commentary," which is what is says about their songs in their recent band bio, likely written by one or both of the band's talented wordsmiths, Lacques and/or Waller.

I really liked all of the songs on this new album, frankly, but would probably single out a couple if I had to pick favorites: "Know Just What To Do" ("psychedelic folk slow wandering"), "Stealing" ("a dreamy ballad for our turbulent times") and the last track, "How You Gonna Know?," described by the band as a "long and everchanging musical journey on a Tuareg-inspired guitar/vocal chant, layered with synths, jawharps, multi electric guitars, layered vocals, channeling images of transhumance, singing waters, an unknown that feels dry, longing for oasis."

The band's four core members -- Rob Waller(lead vocals, guitar/synth), Paul Lacques(guitars, lap steel, autoharp, jawharp, mando, backing vocals), Paul Marshall (bass, backing and lead vocal on "Radio Keeps Me On The Ground (Slight Return)") and Victoria Jacobs (drums, tambourine, backing and lead vocals on "Kensington Market" and "Radio Keeps Me On The Ground (Slight Return)") -- are joined on the new album by special guest appearances on several tracks, including once-upon-a-time bandmate Brantley Kearns on fiddle ("Know Just What To Do"), Danny McGough (playing Mellotron, B3 organ and something called "Lowrey Celebration" on a couple of tunes), and Rich Dembowski and Woody Aplanalp from another great L.A. country-rock band, Old Californio, on a great tune called "Stealing," not to mention there's also a special appearance on "How You Gonna Know?" by members of Double Naught Spy Car, who are one of Paul's other bands, featuring the talented Joe Berardi, Marc Doten and Marcus Watkins.

I finally purchased a new CD and was thrilled to find a few bonus songs that weren't on the original album or on the CD I used to have.


title: A Must-Have for CS&N Fans

text: Classic CS&N. I love this CD.


title: Nice Bowie package

text:
Very interesting "unauthorized" release.  Sounds good, two versions of Ziggy Stardust, and, oh yeah, it's contents are almost identical to the CD "Bowie At The Beeb"  released back in 2000.
I do not currently own the "official" Bowie At The BBC 180 gram vinyl at this time, which is why I mentioned the CD above and not the vinyl release.
I can tell you that my copy of BBC Archives vinyl has three unmarked color-coded labels, dark blue (sides A/B), light blue (sides C/D), and orange (sides E/F). The dark blue labeled LP is thicker (180g ?) than the other two LP's (150g ?), all three LP's have raised edges and I keep mine outside the paper album cover because it's a tight fit for all three LP's in there.  Multi-colored, marbled vinyl, each side has six or seven songs, except side B, which has 4 songs.  BBC show and recording date are provided for all performances.  This package was obviously put together lovingly, dispite the lack of inserts or booklets.  The audio really kicks on a home stereo, I am impressed with the loudness and clarity of the mix.  This is a high-quality package, of interest to Bowie collectors, if you are on the fence because of concerns about quality, get it.  I will still seek out a copy of the "official" Bowie At the BBC, it has 2 songs not on this release, a 20 page booklet and comes in a box designed to hold it all.


title: Great sound

text: Great sound and playing a lot.


title: relaxing

text: I love this because I like to listen to soft mood music when I'm driving to and from work or on long trips. I just pop it into the CD Player and I immediately start to relax. It seems all of the days troubles are not so bad anymore.


title: The Original Wiggles vs New Wiggles

text: My daughter was an avid fan of the original Wiggles.  She had no interest in the new Wiggles when I would show her video clips on youtube or their pictures on facebook.  And then cam FurryTales and now she loves the new Wiggles.  So in our house FurryTales is superfantastic.


title: An astonishing but basically unknown masterpiece...

text: This is such an inspired surprise from a world-class top-tier saxophonist; this is a super chill atmospheric guitar/vocal work.  Layered textures are used to define very original pieces full of atmosphere and emotion.  This is a beautiful work; I'm so lucky I stumbled into this one as I explored Sam Gendel's many other projects.

The story itself is great but I haven't listened to the narration just yet. Honestly I have to look elsewhere to find something that'll play in order for me.

title: Colossal Pop Review

text:
Praise and worship and Paul Baloche have become synonymous to one another.  He has become one of the premiere Christian writers and performers of today's top Christian praise and worship CDs.  Most known for writing some of the greatest and most memorable praise songs such as "Above All", "Open The Eyes of My Heart" and "All the Earth Will Sing Your Praises".  Baloche has returned with 11 new songs performed live at his "home church" Community Christian Fellowship in Lyndale, TX for his latest CD "Glorious".

"Glorious" opens with the title track which was co-written with Benton Brown and is a song intended to "point people beyond the cross, pushing them to look further into the mystery of the gospel."  My personal favorite is "Wonderful God" that Paul wrote with his wife Rita which is a straight forward praise song that reminds the listener of how wonderful God is.  The CD closes with the Dove Award winning song "A New Hallalujah" and is guaranteed to become a Sunday morning favorite for praise and worship leaders around the globe.

There is nothing ground breaking about "Glorious" (which is not a slam or anything) as it fits nicely into the Paul Baloche discography.  His latest CD will continue to push him to the forefront of modern praise and worship leaders and certainly be a great soundtrack to draw one into the presence of God.  Basically if you are a fan of Paul Baloche or even a lover of modern praise and worship then I would HIGHLY recommend "Glorious".

title: A Must-Have

text: It's a shame this album didn't do better than it did. It's a wonderful album. "Paradise" gave me chills when I heard it the first time. Robin's "Don't Fall in Love With Me" is another favorite. The brothers were definitely in their songwriting prime when they made this album. I love it!


title: DON'T MISS THE BOAT !!!!!!

text: Even though this is one of Andre's earlier CD's, ANY music lover will be mesmerized by these selections. With his God given talent, Andre' Rieu takes some of the most beautiful classics ever written, that have been around for 100 years, and arranges them in such a fashion that they soar to new heights, and makes one believe they are hearing it for the first time. He always manages to compose from his heart, and therefore, he touches the heart and soul of the public. As children, my grandsons were exposed to Andre's music on our trips. To this day, I find that same music downloaded on their Smart Phones. This is highly recommended for all.


title: ANDRE' TO THE RESCUE

text: When my grandsons were small, and I would have to drive 6 hours one way to pick them up for Holiday, I made it a point to bring A LOT of my Rieu CD's. I would put them on at the start and except for a couple of stops for food and potty, there was not a peep to be heard from either of them. To this day they have Andre' Rieu music downloaded on their Smart Phones along with all their others.


title: ANOTHER ANDRE' RIEU TRIUMPH

text: Wonderful scenery, amazing music, great entertainment. A must for all those who appreciate the highest quality of music and talent.

title: Confused between colored, clear, and black

text: I thought I was getting the black vinyl deluxe edition since it said colored vinyl. Turns out it's the clear vinyl which now I'm told is colored since colored vinyl is anything other than black vinyl. Very confusing!


title: Powerful

text: This video offers exactly what it's title states.  If your wrestling with trials or hurt or sadness, this video can help you make the journey.  It's not a happy-go-lucky video.  It's intense, and it's real.  If you're not struggling, but someone you know is, this video will equip you and enable you to walk with your friend.  If your not struggling, and you don't know another who is, this video is still excellent as it will prepare you in advance for the trials that are sure to come.


title: Excellent!

text: Wow!  This video was very informative and filled with fascinating facts.  The truth really puts things in perspective.  It's filled with photographs of amazing images of things far from earth, and it was astounding to see what's in our universe. The speaker is dynamic and passionate, and it's infectious.  He's also educated on the subject matter and delivers the information in a very entertaining and intelligent way.  I would recommend this video for anyone, guys and girls alike.


title: Perfect

text: Daughter loved the extras! Just buy it!


i grew up singing along to this album as a child, in the car on all of the road trips my mother and i took. i was devastated when i lost my copy of the tape in my gypsy lifestyle as an adult. have been searching for this again for years. randomly stumbled upon it tonight and SOOOO glad i did! cant wait to have this in my life again! i cant wait to listen to the voices of the women. just remembering the songs and singing them out loud to my memory has brought tears to my eyes that i cant stop. it will be like going home when i didnt think i could. thank you for re releasing and selling on line!

title: Excellent live performance, please republish

text:
This live performance of THE MAGIC FLUTE from the Salzburg Festival 1960 is very beautiful and I hope it will be republished soon! Keilberth, better known for conducting Wagner, leads a brisk, lively, clean interpretation.

With a couple of exceptions, the cast is top-notch. The divine Fritz Wunderlich is considerably better here, in a live performance, than he later was in Bohm's famous studio recording. That's hard to imagine--he's always so good--but I bet you will agree when you hear him, gentle reader! Walter Berry as Papageno is also much better here than he is in Klemperer's famous studio recording. Both these singers have great personal charisma and natural likeability which is not as striking in studio conditions where there is no audience to interact with. Gottlob Frick also gives a better account of himself here than in Klemperer's recording; here he modulates his tone from his usual evil-sounding, dark timbre and actually sounds benevolent. (I thought Klemperer did a disservice to both Berry and Frick by playing their arias and most of their ensembles much more slowly than is conventional. Keilberth is never too slow--in his Wagner and here, he's great for fast, well-coordinated passages. Berry and Frick also benefit here from the inclusion of the speaking passages, which are absent from Klemperer's recording.)

The performance contains two outstanding flaws: a deservedly unknown soprano named Lieselotte Fölser, getting her fifteen minutes of fame as Pamina, has an affected, unspontaneous technique, and consequently suffers from a grating, insecure tone. And Erika Köth, who is usually a very competent, precise coloratura, runs out of breath during her coloratura in her Act I aria, and sings some of her high notes in her Act II aria with inaccurate pitch. If it were not for these two defects, this would be a desert-island performance.

The Three Ladies, who are so essential to the piece, perform excellently and sing well together. The First Lady is sweet, silky Lisa Otto. Lisa Otto was a truly great lyric soprano who suffered from "Jerry-Quarry syndrome"--she happened to be competing for fame and recording space with hyped-up media-savvy superstars like Eliz. Schwarzkopf and Irmgard Seefried, and to a lesser degree Maria Stader and Wilma Lipp, and often found herself cast in secondary roles such as Papagena. It's a pleasure to hear her taking on a major responsibility like the First Lady here.

The minor roles are all well-sung by seasoned performers. Eberhard Wachter sounds strong and heroic as the Sprecher and Kurt Marschner is sweet as Monostatos.

All in all, a performance which no one should miss and an album which definitely deserves to be re-issued.

UPDATE: Listening again, I think I was too hard on Lieselotte Fölser. Her pitch is good and she's reasonably intelligent and her tone is ok most of the time. It's not her fault she's not a world-class Pamina like Gundula Janowitz or Irmgard Seefried.


title: He wasn't ONLY the biggest....

text:
Full disclosure: I met Martti Talvela and accompanied him with the Metropolitan Opera Chorus in a concert performance of Glinka's IVAN SUSHANIN, shortly before he died.  (You have to be careful when you shake his hand--you can injure your neck trying to look him in the face.)

On this CD, the overwhelming basso turns the volume way down and gives a beautiful, intimate chamber-singing demonstration, accompanied only by a piano.  The result is the most intelligent and compassionate interpretation of Mussorsky's "Songs and Dances of Death" I've ever heard, better even than Boris Christoff's, and better even than Talvela's own impressive recording with full orchestra, on another CD. Plus, wonderful songs by Rachmaninoff (I'm working on "Christ Is Risen" my own self now) and gorgeous Finnish composer Yrjo Kilpinen.  And of course no Mussorsky song-album can be complete without "The Flea".

title: Possibly a flawed CD

text: I love the content. Unfortunately there is a skip in the first track at 2:37. I doubt this is a studio error. I am curious to know if any others have this on their album. It may be hard to hear unless you're really listening. I haven't heard any other errors like this, but I am not finished thoroughly listening to the album.


title: Bay Area New School Freestyle

text:
Pravina from North Cali Bay Area "Let Me Be the one" is a new school progressive Freestyle song, that is catchy but not one of the best Freestyle songs to come from the Bay area.Pravina is not one of the best singers..the song probably be better with another vocalist.Slammin Sam does his best, but song repeats itself alot and her vocals get lost.The original mix, shows more of Pravina's singing, which is limited and not the best.The oroginal mix is a Freestyle mix, so is Party anthem.The Dream House mix is catchy, but is more of a Freestyle House mix than regular house.Unsure if Pravina released any other Cd's, but I would be interested in finding out if it was more Freestyle, since that is my favorite genre of music.

title: A MUST FOR ALL GARY DUNCAN & QMS FANS !!!

text: As in all of Gary Duncan's post - Quicksilver Messenger Service albums albeit a short one (approx. 40 min.), this CD never fails to please, entertain & enlighten. Falls in the same jamming vein as his old QMS. Sounds like a crisp, live all-Instrumental recording of Gary's band at their best, interpreting the Groove & Blues of the Inner City - with a T. Monk staple sandwiched in between. And as always, Gary's cool Psychedelic/Jazz Stratocaster guitar playing is at it's tastiest. If you haven't been to the Big City for awhile, this one will surely take you right there - even while you are kicking back in your easy chair taking in the beautiful Countryside. Oh, BTW ....The Native on the cover playing the Bamboo Flute isn't Gary Duncan, and is not within the tracks at all - although it would be very cool if he was. The significance of the cover pic is known only to Gary himself & his great sense of Humor. BUY !!!

I was lucky years ago to see these two wonderful singers in this opera in Venice, and that performance remain in my memory as the best I have seen of the Giordano<br />work. When the marvelous Daniela Dessi pass away at a young age early this year the world lost a great singer and a great lady. Her husband, Fabio Armiliato is one of the best tenors in the world without question, and is a shame that the opera houses in the US have not use his great talent more often.

What a beautiful range he has. Course with me there isn't a single song he can't sing from pop, opera, children's songs, and jazz and of course spirituals.  His masterful voice and range exemplifies his talent and training.  There is no singer today that can come even close to his type of baritone except maybe Josh Grobin.

This 3-CD set is a compilation of the works of Lino Chavez and his group.  They were the greatest group of Son Jarocho musicians in their time.  Today's musicians working in this genre of Mexican music are following in the footsteps of these wonderful artists.  [[ASIN:B002AU0C38 Tesoros de Coleccion]]

I searched for years to find a CD with these musicians.  Only recently has their music been reissued.  I recommend it highly to everyone who loves Son Jarocho.  For that matter, I recommend it to anyone who appreciates harp music.

title: glad its available, but could be improved

text:
Firstly, I don't usually review study materials, as most are well reviewed before my encounters with them.  This one, however, was relatively unknown.

The readings are a little dry.  Its not unlike sitting in a lecture hall in a large university class with respect to the general speaking style.  However, the format is all question and answer.  many of the answers have no explaination as to why they are right or why the others are 'less-right', so it is of limited use.

the biggest consumer problem I had was that the disc track numbers fall in the middle of some questions, and there is even a question cut in half by the CD itself.  This makes going back and listening to things difficult, as you have to listen to 3 or 4 rather tedious questions to get to the one that needed review.

overall, if there were more audio study materials out there, i would look into those first.  but there are pretty few, so there isnt much competition-driven reason to improve.  not bad for the desperate, just not as justifiable for the cash-strapped resident that these materials are designed for.


title: Buyer Beware

text:
This LP is a clear bootleg. I love Tool, but don't handout your money to a bootlegger. If the price was in the $30 range then I would say go for it, but at over $150 that is mad.

[[ASIN:B000MEUUFO Folk Favorites of the '60s and '70s (Reader's Digest Music)]]

I have to just say that by far this has got to be one of the greatest music collections I have ever purchased.

Let me start by commenting on how superb the sounds quality of all the tracks on each of the 4 disks included in this box set are.  I have bought boxed sets in the past from other various labels and company's and they have for the most part always been lacking in the sound department, atleast when it comes to the collections of music from this era and older.
50's and 60's and some 40's even.  The forground e.g. the singers cancel out the background from either chorus or insturmental.  or vise versa  and alot of times even as most know the sound is just very muddled to the point of which you have to turn up the volume way way high to even hear the artist's voice.  But, with this collection I have really enjoyed the sound quality.  Every cut on here is just so lifelike it's amazing.  It's like your either listening to the performance live right there at that time. or as good as any radio edit on todays Airways of any new artist of todays period, or any cut of a track from a new artists cd.  It's really that good.  I'm prob getting into a longer than needed review, so I'll just wrap things up by also adding this one more thing.  The mix of artists and songs in this collection are done really great as well.  Every song one after the other is set to compliment each other in a very relaxing and upbeat progression.  It never jumps from slow to fast in a ruin the mood way at any time during any of the programs e.g. disks.
Thats is my Review of Readers Digest Favorites of the 60's and 70's.  If ya want an excellent way to remember the artist's and songs of that time period, them I say definately give this CD set a try.  You will not regret it.


title: City music, country blues and... Pentecostal church

text:
Brethren is (was) a short-lived and little known act from New York , which claim for fame and glory is a close tie to Dr.John (who played keyboards on the self-titled debut album - released on Tiffany in 1970 - and even wrote the liner notes: "... this music is city music and country blues, with some Pentecostal church threw in..."). In 1970 they've also appeared on Boston Tea Party concerts sharing the bill with "Poco" in June and "Mountain" in November.
The band was: Tom Cosgrove (guitar, vocals & and percussion), Mike Garson (keyboards, composer), Rick Marotta (drums) and Stu Woods (bass, clavinet, vocals). Next to Dr John, Rusty Young of "Poco" played steel pedal.
The photo for the cover (showing the band next to the barn) was taken by Murray Head; and alternative version by Stanley Lewis Moss with a gothic cathedral exists.
The band is often described as blue-eyed (or white boy) soul, sometimes sounding funky and with an influence of country. I would say (this is strictly my personal opinion) that "Brethren" somehow reminds (very distantly) Grand Funk Railroad, but less powerful, lightweight, melodic and without self-destructive aggression.  They were highly skilled professional musicians, but something is missing - the embers molder, but there is no fire...
The best tracks are "Midnight Train" and lengthy instrumental "Success Brand Oil", featuring virtuoso guitar solo interplaying with organ and, of course, "Provided For" (with the backing by The Blossoms).
"Brethren" released only two albums before splitting and becoming session musicians - self-titled in 1970 and "Moment of Truth" in 1971 (the latter featuring original tracks and an interesting lengthy version of Dr John's "Loop Garoo").
A good and pleasant album, well played, but not a must - unless you are a die-hard addict of the era


title: The acid way of Animated Egg

text:
"Animated Egg" - a weird album released in 1967 on sweatshop-label Alshire by legendary and charismatic American guitarist and bandleader Jerry Cole (1939-2008).
Beware: often hailed and praised as an album of vintage psychedelia, in fact it is not even a concept album, or a collection of "The Best of..." - these are outtakes and rejected tracks produced when recording  (1966-1966) "The Inner Sounds of the Id" [[ASIN:B001CESP9Q The Inner Sounds of the Id]], Beatles-inspired tasteful and mellow musical acid trip, released on RCA Victor.
Only ONE composition from "Animated Egg" deserves to be called psychedelic - "Sock It My Way" - but that's a monster, a killer and a smasher - an incredible acid funeral rhapsody, dark, hopeless and menacing, like mediocre trip suddenly turned  widescreen Technicolor dream, fascinating and scary. The album is worth buying just because of it (as I did, and never regreted), the rest is pure pop for high school dances - uncomplicated like pop-corn and syrupy like candy bar. Plain and repetitive rhythm (no mad drumming solos) and rather tamed guitar repeating endlessly the same catchy phrase. All in all, a castrated image of psychedelia  ranging from unashamed plagiarism of "Keep On Running"  by Spencer Davies (it became "T" Morrow")  to country in "Sure Listic" and lounge jazz ("That's How It Is").  The tracks had been recorded - most probably - by the same musicians as in "The Id": Jerry Cole (lead guitar, sitar), Don Dexter on drums, Glenn Cass on bass and Norman Cass on rhythm guitar; Jerry Cole however insisted that "Animated Egg" was recorded during different sessions and with other musicians. In the best tradition of Alshire it was released strictly as "no names"-album, even cool youths on the cover photo have nothing to do with the musicians, and producer Paul Arnold also preferred anonymity (although it didn't prevent him from repackaging  ad nauseam the tracks from "Id" and "Animated Egg").
I strongly suspect that Jerry Cole is responsible for another three anonymous albums, these time recorded for another budget label, "Crown" of Bihari brothers. Different monikers were used - The Firebirds - [[ASIN:B000216W22 Light My Fire]] , 31 Flavours ("Hair") and Underground Electrics - "Hey Jude". I advise to get them, they are really inspiring.
Jerry Cole first became famous with The Champs in 1958 already, and since then he never stopped working - either anonymously, or with the stars - from Phil Spector and The Byrds  to Elvis Presley and Beach Boys.
The "freaky" side of Cole's legacy is available also on 2 CDs by Sundazed - [[ASIN:B001EQP9W8 Guitar Freakout]]


title: Classic prog from Detroit

text:
Don't let the cover of this obscure Detroit album put you off" repeats ad nauseam every website/page, which mentions the album (the words are stolen from monumental rock-music guide by Vernon Joynson), and this CD re-issue by "Flawed Gems" (Sweden?) sheepishly follows "Don't be fooled by that average-looking front cover..."
Actually, I do believe that even totally hopeless lost cases do not judge the music by the album artwork - music critics only. So, don't be put off by the cover - nothing exceptional for the early 70s, except some silly politically correct ecological graffities (I suspect that they might have been added later).
Totally obscure band from Detroit, very much in the same league as lesser exponents of British prog - [[ASIN:B00029KZO0 Act One]], Rare Bird ([[ASIN:B000TV4MOA As Your Mind Flies By]]), Captain Marryat ([[ASIN:B002VYQXTK Captain Marryat]], Grannie ([[ASIN:B00480MPJ2 Grannie]]) - but less powerful and more lightweighted.

Guitars and Hammond are excellent, drumming is tight, dynamic and aggressive, Ron Stults (vocals) is good - but not great, while backing vocals sound like anemic and undefed Uriah Heep.

OK, maybe there is not enough raw flesh and blood, but the bones are there!
Decent prog album, worth having


title: West Coast psychedelia, 1970

text:
This "Sweet Pain" is not a prog-rock, has nothing in common with Kiss-tribute band or Texan metal act - it is very interesting act from California dating back to the 60s, which managed to get signed by United Artists and recorded their debut album in 1970. They played rather typical free-wheeling psychedelia with interesting vocal harmonies and tasteful solos, often combined with the pieces proper for "foot-stomping - hands clapping" band). The opening for the first song ("Upside Down...") sounds not unlike "Creedence", "Pine Canyon Stream" is an excellent acoustic ballad lead by 12-string guitar, "By Myself" is another beautiful romantic masterpiece featuring pleasant singing, while lengthy "Joy" was the main attraction of the show.  "Start Off With You" is an excellent track - an intro sounds like acoustic ballad by "Deep Purple", and then evolves into "Santana" (circa "Abraxas" - [[ASIN:B0000062FL Abraxas]]) improvisations and polyphonic singing.
"Sweet Pain" featured Bob Spalding on lead guitar (he played with Chuck Berry), Carl Johnson (guitar), Dave Riordan (rhythm, vocals), Frank Demme (bass, vocals), Marty Foltz (drums & percussion), J.C.Phillips (maracas,marimba,bonker, vocals). As far as I know the second album exists too, although I haven't seen myself.
Please keep in mind, that although the musicians look like Wild Bunch, the music is not hard'n heavy. Plus: the CD might be re-issued on Retro Dics International S.A. (Spain), which has different titles for songs on the CD intself - follow the correct names in the leaflet.
Maybe not first league, but solid and pleasant album


title: Betweet rock and...

text:
Beware: the album is not a killer (a gross exaggeration), neither a bad one. It doesn't come even close to "Procol Harum" - I've seen it written in one of the reviews. This is one of solid, promissing, but not exceptional "lesser brothers" of bigger names. On the other hand, it is much, much better than hundreds of crappy acts formed through casting and pushed around by majors.
Little is known about "Headstone" - there are rumours that it was from Indiana, while others insist that from Ohio. However, the brothers Flynn - David, Bruce, Barry surfaced in Columbus, Ohio in the beginning of the 70s, and were soon joined by Tom Applegate. By 1974 they were non-stop gigging locally billed as "Headstones" (the name turned out to be a prophecy), and recorded a couple of singles in the small private studio of Rome Records (both released with green "OME" label as "Headstones"). The same year the debut LP was recorded in the same studio and released on a small private label "Starr" (the pressing didn't exceed few hundred and the sales were miserable).
Should they've been signed by a major label, their fate could have been completely different. But...
"Headstone" is quite competent and pleasant band; for hard n'heavy of the 70s ii sounds as easy listening, almost AOR, for psychedelic act - it is too predictable, self-repetitive and monotous. Vocally it reminds Mark Farner - in his most mellow mood and without power, otherwise it is modelled (or similar) after "Uriah Heep" ("Carry Me On" is similar to "Gypsy") and, definitely, the lightest version of "Grand Funk" (listen to "Buying Time"). The guitars and organ are really good, and the drumming is excellent, but something is still missing - perhaps real drive or energy. In many aspects "Headstone" reminds me another obscure act, this time from Kentucky - [[ASIN:B001HQ6ZKU Kristyl]], and is often compared to "Styx" (to me "Headstone" is much better).
"We are not of few but of many on the search for the meaning of becoming one with all. We have not found it as of now, but we are Still Looking" (the message from the band on the cover of the album).
Somehow I am not convinced about this re-issue - it looks to me as a budget bootleg by Erebus Records (all 7 songs from the album + 4 songs from singles).
Without being too harsh, I would say that one might buy this CD because of two reasons: either you have everything, and you are still looking for something from the 70s, or you have nothing else.
I bought it myself, I don't consider my money misspent, and I am really pleased to have it


title: Unknown Stewart - or almost

text:
"Python Lee Jackson" was an indistinguished Australian band from Sidney, founded by an Englishman (Frank Kennington, vocals) and Scotsman (Mick Liber, guitar)which managed to annoy local (Aussie's) scene from 1965 and until 1968 - when the band moved to UK, to be joined by David Montgomery on drums. Before that they've released a single - Bo Diddley "Who Do You Love".
In the UK the band was noticed by John Peel, who as you should know had a weekness for weirdos and nobodys. Frank Kennington by that time was replaced by David Bentley, whose composing was much better than his vocals. But he had decency and brains: "Python" recruited Rod Stewart to record three songs (Stewart by that time had two excellent albums with Jeff Beck Group, and his unusual voice could match the music) - "Doin' Fine", "The Blues" and "In A Broken Dream". The tracks were recorded at famous Pye Studios in London, 1969, but were shelved for more than a year, and the single was released in 1970 only. It flopped - to resurface two years later and climb to Nr 3 in UK Singles Chart.
"In A Broken Dream" is an amazing album (the band was never able to repeat its success, and went to obscurity). The title song was a massive success, and appears on a couple of Rod Stewart' collections, but this CD is a rare piece

title: Jimmy Hendrix + P-Funk + old-school Metallica = GAYLORD

text:
What do you get when you dig up Jimmy Hendrix, and stick him in a 3-piece band with Les Claypool on bass and and Neil Peart on drums? Answer- GAYLORD. Tsunami is another amazing album from this multiracial 3-piece team of metal/ funk virtuosos. This epic album is chalked full of heavy riffs, ethereal jams & gritty funk. The socially and politically charged lyrics and samples on tracks like "Milk of Amnesia" add a depth to the music's already thought provoking sound.  Hendrix-like solos provided by the band's guitarist, Core Atoms, who taught himself as a child to play, (and incidentally as a result learned to play left handed and upside-down --on a right handed guitar!), give Gaylord that rebellious ballz to the wall sound. At times the music is thick with heavy wah petals and bass slaps- only to become transformed into a soul- pleasing melodic drift--and just when your comfortable, the sound transforms once again to a heavy metallic riff reminiscent of an old-school Metallica circa 1988.
The song "InTaberna" goes from old school Metal sound to some swanky 70's funk -dirty enough to make a porn star blush, cosmic keyboard sections makes you feel like your on some asteroid looking down at earth, until the songs catchy hook sucks you back to reality, only to send you back the hell out again. This album isn't the first or most recent release for Gaylord but it's as good a starting point as any-- If you like Tsunami, try to get your hands on their next album "Resplendent Locution"!
I have had the chance to see them live now and there stage show can only be described as nothing short of a religious experience! On stage the band replicates every sound and note on the album--(no tape recorder back stage) -Seeing them live is like watching a modern day Van Gough create right in front of your eyes--contributing layer after layer as they build their incredible wall of sound- an amazing fete for any three piece. Although guitarist and bass player contribute most of the vocals, all three have been known to sing at times and don't be surprised if the guitarist pulls out a coffee pot or some other weird item and starts going at his guitar in a frenzy

title: Great album.

text:
Well, for a young woman who appears positively docile during interviews, she sure can belt it! This is a fantastic album on many levels:

1. Paige's vocals are strong, dynamic, and feel genuine even if they are occasionally a little over-engineered (processed).

2. The "No Apathy" message is refreshing and timely, and should resonate with all of us in 2010, Christian or not; young or not-so-young.

3. The musicianship is tremendous! These guys are machines! Drum solo, please!

4. Excellent production quality. Too many albums these days are released with terrible audio quality or mastering issues. This is definitely not one of those albums.

5. Yes, it's a Christian message, but it's certainly not preachy, and for an album ostensibly geared for teens is remarkably mature.

All of the songs on the album are at least very good, many are wildly great. The best money I've spent on music in a long time.

title: I miss my old favorite radio station.

text: This is an absolutely fantastic compilation of live sets put together by the best radio station in the Dallas area (before the dark times...before Clear Channel).  These acoustic sets were performed in the studio of (then) 94.5 KDGE "The Edge" in Dallas in  the early 90s.  This is a great chance to get some rare unplugged versions of well known songs by some great artists of the era.
