Artist: Frankie Valli, 4 Seasons - (Audio CD) - 2003 ... more
The youth of America had a musical divide in the early sixties. While the west coast soft beach harmonies of the Beach Boys were in full swing, the youth of the east coast was stomping to the harder edged harmonies of Frankie Valli and The Four... read full review | report as inappropriate
After seeing Jersey Boys in Los Angeles I remembered how much I loved "Sherry" when it first came out, and I was just a kid at the time. In fact, there's never been a song that excited me as much as "Sherry". Watching the play I loved the Four... read full review | report as inappropriate
A lot of the songs on this album are great. Of course, that's why I bought it. However, there are a number of lower-quality songs which I sometimes think would be better off of the album so as to not dilute its class. However, the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: The Beach Boys - (Audio CD) - 1999 ... more
This CD is, without a doubt, one of the greatest pieces of music to come out of the 20th century. Brian Wilson's knowledge of the studio has never been more beneficial, his musical vision never more stronger, his communication with the session... read full review | report as inappropriate
Why this is one of the greatest records in Pop Music history is beyond me. I have listened to this cd several times in both stereo and mono and I just don't get it. Each time I listen to it I have to struggle my way through. To me, it's just... read full review | report as inappropriate
I can't think of an album that is more overhyped than "Pet Sounds." The Beach Boys built their fame on surf tunes, and now they (especially Brian Wilson) try to get serious on this embarrasing record.
To give Wilson some credit, I will say... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: The Four Seasons - (Audio CD) - 1991 ... more
I bought this CD for one song, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and found myself enjoying it from beginning to end. This CD is heavy on the Frankie Valli works of the 1970s, music of my childhood. I find myself thinking each track is musically... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons - (Audio CD) - 2001 ... more
For those who listen to the radio in the '60s (and in the '70s for that matter) Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons needs no introduction here. They simply RULED the airways (at least until the Beatles came along). This collection from the Rhino... read full review | report as inappropriate
The sound quality on this compilation is absolutely horrible. The people at Rhino usually do an excellent job, so I suspect that the original masters must have been in pretty bad shape. Whatever the case, the first cd is barely listenable. The... read full review | report as inappropriate
I am not sure if this CD was remastered but "Can't Take My Eyes off of you" should be "Can't Hear The Lyrics." The CD is not advertised as a "Remastered" version, so keep that in mind when purchasing. The songs from later years in their careers... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Gary Puckett & the Union Gap - (Audio CD) - 1995 ... more
I have loved Gary Puckett and the Union Gap for years! Being 44 years old, I first heard the group in jr high! This is one of the best recordings I have heard in a long time! There is so much emotion in Puckett's voice. It is such a pleasure to... read full review | report as inappropriate
There are a lot of songs on this CD that I don't remember & don't really care for. However, the sound quality is good. Take the time to listen to all the samples before buying. read full review | report as inappropriate
My usual complaint about "best of" collections is that they seem to miss some hits, or miss songs popular with the fans of a particular artist. This collection of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap is no exception.
This group was present in AM top... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: The Duprees - (Audio CD) - 2002 ... more
Contrary to another reviewer's opinion, the Duprees' five biggest hits are beyond great, they're sensational! With apologies to the lovely Jo Stafford whose much earlier version of "You Belong To Me" belongs in a pantheon of the world's greatest... read full review | report as inappropriate
My recent order included a CD by the Duprees. Since the CD had never been opened, I expected a high quality recording. Instead, the recording was of a very low quality, i.e. missing,skipping,and sticking. Impossible to listen to. Needless to say,... read full review | report as inappropriate
You have to love the Duprees 5 best known hits, from You Belongto Me, My Own True Love, Why Don't You Believe Me, Have You Heardto It's no Sin. Their forte of taking an old standard and stylizeit with their signature sax harmonics... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Antony and the Johnsons - (Audio CD) - 2005 ... more
My first review and I must say, this CD is better than everyone said it was. Antony has so much emotion in his voice, that it frequently brings a tear to my eye. Listen to this alone in a quiet room for optimal effect. read full review | report as inappropriate
I guess what really kept me from ever truly enjoying this albums was the lead singer's positively bizarre voice. I really couldn't take the lyrics seriously either. Maybe it's one of those love it or hate it type of things, but in all honesty I... read full review | report as inappropriate
Antony and the Johnson's second release features more of Antony's graceful and passionate singing, which truly must be heard to be believed. This album is a collection of gentle, pleasing songs, most of which seem to drift along and then fade... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: The Association - (Audio CD) - 2004 ... more
Contains all their big hits, but none of their later material. It was a straight re-issue of the 1968 LP, which was pretty much the norm in the early days of CD's. But this excellent set is long over due for an update, including remastering. Add... read full review | report as inappropriate
Sure, just take the old Greatest Hits, put it in a cardboard slipcase, and charge a dollar more for it. Right, where do I sign up? I guess Am@zon didn't notice that they're selling this same disc without the slipcase for a dollar less. And I... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: The Beach Boys - (Audio CD) - 2006 ... more
I have never heard this whole album before, just various songs from it on different compilation CD's and what not. I picked up this new 40th Anniversary edition tonight. I just now finished listening to it, and words cannot describe the beauty... read full review | report as inappropriate
