 | The Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1963
VARIOUS ARTISTS
List price:USD $39.98 Used Price:USD $21.28 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $24.97
The Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1963:I was somewhat disappointed. Some of the songs were not by the original artists, though not a big problem since I should have checked that, but the sound reproduction was poor. The discs sound like the songs were recorded right off the o... |
 | I Want My 80's Box
DIG VARIOUS ARTISTS
List price:USD $35.98 Used Price:USD $16.96 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $22.51
God bless punk and new wave. Without them, '80s pop music might well have ended up as vapid and ghettoized as, well, pop music of the '90s. Those late '70s movements were frankly reactionary at heart (seeking to counter what was perceived as the overwrought tendencies of rock's p... |
 | Box of Pearls: The Janis Joplin Collection
SONY JANIS JOPLIN
List price:USD $49.98 Used Price:USD $27.98 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $28.98
Janis Joplin was one of the most exhilarating performers of an era blessed with riveting stage artists, but all but her most emphatic champions must concede her recorded oeuvre is problematic. With Big Brother & the Holding Company she was surrounded by up-from-the-streets cohort... |

"...I Woke Up This Morning...Couldn't Even Get Out Of Bed...":Released in early 1993, the 101 tracks on this 4CD box represented the first proper overview by MCA of the Chess Blues legacy since their acquistion of its entire catalogue way back in 1985. And even now (in late 2009)... |

GRAM PARSONS
List price:USD $34.98 Used Price:USD $9.00 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $12.39
Singer-songwriter Gram Parsons, the architect of country-rock and patron saint of American roots music—"alt" and otherwise—died in 1973 at age 26, but the enormity of his influence remains constant. Florida-born and Georgia-bred, Parsons began playing at age 14 and launched h... |
 | The Music of Johnny Mathis - A Personal Collection (Repackaged)
SONY JOHNNY MATHIS
List price:USD $39.98 Used Price:USD $26.95 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $26.95
Mathis was among the singers who, in the '60s and '70s, churned out an album every few months--often made up largely of the same recent chart hits his peers (Andy Williams, Jerry Vale) were covering. Despite the presence of "Feelings," however, this four-CD box is low on chaff an... |

SONY TONY BENNETT
List price:USD $49.98 Used Price:USD $12.73 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $25.99
Fifty Years: The Artistry Of Tony Bennett (5CD):Next to Sinatra, Tony Bennett has always been my favorite crooner. I like the way his singing is so laid back, and at the same time enthusiactic. As far as I can remember, his popularity though the years makes him the greatest livin... |

ELTON JOHN
List price:USD $29.98 Used Price:USD $10.00 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $18.41
During Elton John's most commercially successful period, between 1970 and 1975, he was also at his most prolific. Usually producing two albums a year, he also knocked off a dozen or so non-LP B-sides, a handful of demos for other artists, and even a soundtrack album for 1971's ob... |
 | A Natural Woman: The Ode Collection 1968-1976
SONY CAROLE KING
List price:USD $15.93 Used Price:USD $5.95 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $14.17
It's astonishing how quickly Carole King slipped into relative obscurity. Tapestry has sold in excess of 22 million copies and was the biggest selling album of all time until Frampton Comes Alive surpassed it in 1977, yet while the latter remains at the very least an archetypal c... |
 | Selected Works: 1972-1999
EAGLES EAGLES THE EAGLES
List price:USD $59.98 Used Price:USD $18.53 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $25.96
It's tough to forecast which bands are built for the long run. The Eagles emerged as part of a genre (country rock) that proved to be a passing fancy. And with two talented frontmen sharing the spotlight, how could artistic differences be fended off for long? But, of course, Don ... |

NINA SIMONE
List price:USD $49.98 Used Price:USD $29.99 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $34.65
Nina Simone was one of those controversial figures American pop music puts forward from time to time, with the notable exception that she started her controversy earlier in the 1960s than, say, Bob Dylan. To see this African-American woman get angry about the racial situation in ... |

KISS KISS
List price:USD $74.98 Used Price:USD $33.49 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $43.99
Set aside the makeup, pyrotechnics, and coffin sales, and all that's left of "the hottest band in the world" is the music. Fortunately, in the case of Kiss, the music is their strongest suit. This five-CD box set blends previously released recordings, demos, and unreleased live m... |

SONY BILLIE HOLIDAY
List price:USD $49.98 Used Price:USD $21.75 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $25.23
Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally h... |
 | Back to Mono (1958-1969)
PHIL SPECTOR
List price:USD $74.98 Used Price:USD $37.99 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $39.99
Among producers, his name remains the simile of choice. If some hotshot studio whiz emerges in, say, hip-hop, he's inevitably labeled "the Phil Spector of rap." That's quite a statement given that decades have passed since this boy from the Bronx remodeled rock & roll to suit his... |

Goodie Goodie, but Oldie Oldie:Ok, it's not only been almost 30 years since any of this was recorded. Which is fine, btw.
There's awesome music here, fun performances but few words from Bon himself, on the shows. It's just that this particular collection will be more atractive a... |
