Album Description

Convenient new size...Still f***ing huge! Metallica's Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge - the unprecendented box set featuring three complete concerts on three CD's and three VHS tapes, more than eight hours of live Metallica - is now being made available on three CD's and two DVD's at a special price. This colossal box has sold an incredible 613,000 copies since its 1993 release, and this reissue is sure to swell the ranks of those blown away by these shows. Nothing gets left behind -- the complete original 72-page full-color book is even included on DVD 2, and the commemorative backstage pass and scary guy stencil are enclosed as well. It's a one-two-three punch unmatched by any band, before or since, and the perfect gift for that special someone who needs their ass kicked hard by the world's greatest rock & roll band.

Hmmm.......2007-04-10

I rarely listen to Metallica, but I do like everything they did up until the Black Album. I know call me a hyprocrite right now and throw the review out the window. This boxset is done well, and I had no problem with the sound on the dvd. The problem I had is the way the cds and dvds are presented. The case is terriable, and the cds just fall out and might get scratched. The booklet is a a complete waste; To review the orignal booklet, you can on the second dvd. Its great material, but the price is a little steep. I did buy it used, but the price I paid for it was probably what the asking price should be.

One of my favorites!!.......2007-03-31

I live with regrets now after hearing this music. I was never a really big fan of theirs and owned none of their music. I am, however, a big 'live' music fan of all types. If it's good live, I like the band!

I thought this set was FANTASTIC! My regrets are that I never went to see them live when I had the chances. Big mistake.

This is truly a great musical set. For those true Metallica fans, good for you for being there before, during and after these concerts. You've seen one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands to walk the earth. Truly a great buy!!!!

I was there !!!!.......2007-02-01

What can you say when your favorite band issues a record of the concert they played at your city ?? there's no way to be objective and neutral, this is for me the best live record ever made, in the peak of Metallica's career, with an audience (Mexico City) that waited for 15 years to see Metallica live so you can feel the people extasis on each track.

Some of you may not be aware that Metallica was supposed to play only 2 dates in Mexico City but they sold out both concerts in 2 hours (50,000 tickets), so they cancelled Hawaii and stayed to play 3 more nights. I attended two of the nights and saw people outside the arena trading jewelry and watches for a ticket, absolutely crazy. Metallica changed the track list every night, and this record has the best pieces of each of the five concerts. A must to have for any Metalli-fan.

The only negative is that the boxset only contains audio from Mexico City, not a single video.

Man, I felt myself nostalgic.

Awesome!.......2007-01-22

I was looking for a collection of live, older Metallica songs, and you can't beat this collection. The performances on the CDs are great and they sound really good when you play them as you should....LOUD!

The performances on the DVD are also really good and I recommend that you use a good surround sound system to take advantage of the music and mayhem that Metallica unleashes on stage.

Don't think twice about it, just get it.

Descropción del producto........2007-01-11

La caja contiene 5 discos, 3 de ellos contienen el concierto de la ciudad de México. Los 2 restantes son DVD's, uno contiene el conciert de Seattle y el otro los 2 de San Diego. Es el material de los discos y VHS de la legendaria caja de Metallica. Muy buenos conciertos, muy buena calidad de grabación. Es el mejor recuerdo que uno puede conservar de esta banda de metal. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Customer Reviews:

Boring, sad.......2007-04-29

This isn't quite "music" - it's closer to the kind of bloodless, overproduced orchestral music made popular in the 50s and 60s for older people who lacked a background in the classics, yet enjoy sentimental easy listening. This sort of thing has long been replaced by the likes of easy rock and easy listeing jazz, though it's possible that there are still listeners who haven't been exposed to much else, or otherwise have depressed standards in their popular music. Even Lawrence Welk had more variety and personal style in his presentation of music for older people.

This isn't even nostalgic anymore - just dull.

Mantovani's Music is the Best Ever!.......2005-10-13

This is a wonderful three-CD compilation of some of the best original recordings made by the Grand Master of Light Orchestral music. But it also contains an added bonus: one of the CD's reproduces in its entirety the 1960 LP "Operetta Memories" which, although hard to find on CD, is by far one of Mantovani's finest albums of sound artistry which charted in the top 40 for 3 months in 1961. Today's marketing teams might have entitled this LP, "Strauss Waltzes ..And More" because it followed a few years after the phenomenally successful stereo LP recording of Strauss Waltzes (1958) and included the great studio version of "the hymn to champagne" Die Fledermaus Overture, and another Mantovani concert favorite, the Gypsy Baron Waltz, also known as the Sweetheart Waltz which has the Blue Danube running right through the melody as only the genius of Mantovani could create. The "more" is represented by extraordinary arrangements of popular operetta music by Franz Lehar and Emmerich Kalman. Mantovani's inventive sounds and synchronized strings are nothing short of spectacular on Kalman's Gypsy Princess Waltz and Lehar's Count of Luxembourg Waltz and Merry Widow Waltz. All ten tracks are time-honored melodies that you will keep you humming and remembering how incomparable the Mantovani sound is and will always be. Purchase this CD set for 48 tracks of the very best of Mantovani's prolific discography.

This enormous live box set is a necessity for the hardcore Metallifan, though casual fans (if Metallica has any casual fans) might be scared off. It contains material up to and including the self-titled "black" album, including concert favorites "Creeping Death" and "Seek & Destroy," as well as classics like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," and "Fade to Black." There are also a couple of ripping-fast solos from Jason Newsted and Kirk Hammett, and covers of "Last Caress," "Am I Evil?" and "Stone Cold Crazy." The videos are from a 1992 San Diego concert and a 1989 stop on the Damaged Justice tour in Seattle; both are guaranteed to turn any fan who hasn't had the considerable pleasure of hearing this seminal metal band live green with envy. Pricey, but very highly recommended. --Genevieve Williams

Purged this into Tampa Bay.......2007-05-14

Noting Metallica's recent radio and MTV-friendly format, I purchased a used copy of this box set in order to dramatically illustrate the nosedive that has become of Metallica's popularity among their original fans. Driving to the top of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge here in Tampa, I flung 'Live $hit, Binge & Purge' into the shipping channel...a 200 foot drop. Longtime fans can rest assured that one of traitor Metallica's new box sets is now 'sleeping with the fishes'.

purged.......2006-03-29

I bought this box set way back in the day when it was a new release. I must say I really enjoyed it. This was the last good thing this band ever put out. I've since sold this boxset along with everything else Metallica related that I owned. Once they started suing their fans and putting out below par horses*** I quickly became a nonfan. Lars is a dousche as is Hetfield.

There's only one Metallica, and this is their best........2005-11-23

Sometimes only Metallica will do, and this is their best. Every great song, played to the hilt live in Mexico City on the CD's and a two DVD set recorded here in the States. When you need something and only Metallica will do, and when you need it as hard as it comes, this is the album for you. I love this box set. I'm on my second one. I let the first one get scratched up in the car, and I discovered I couldn't live without it. If you love Metallica, you'll feel the same way. Enjoy.

sweet.......2005-07-18

this is so awesome. great concerts. great everything. but you people are stupid to pay 89 bucks for it. i got the whole set for $2 at a garage sale. and everythings perfect.

The box set is amazing because it shows Metallica in the best part of its career. All the old best songs are compended in the 2 Live CD's and the two DVD concerts are espectacular although the video quiality is not the best maybe because it has been taken from the VHS format.

Amzing.......2005-11-21

This box set is incredible. So much metal crammed on to 3 CDs abd 2 DVDs. About 8 hours of head banging, kick a$$ metal. It is amazing how you can actually feel the adreniline and excitment like you were actually there. It also makes we want to start my own mosh pit. This album is so awesome that I could go on forver but before I start rambling I will go through the songs.

Disc1
1 Enter Sandman-great opener, this song kicks more a$$ live then studio(in my opion)10/10
2 Creeping Sandman-Great Song from Ride the Lighting the version is definitly not as good as the studio but nonetheless a heavy rocker 9/10
3 Harvester of Sorrow- One of the best songs on this first disc it is probably the best from And Jutice for All they just rock hard here and so does Mexico City 10/10
4 Welcome Home(Sanitarium)- Great song with a grea intro, when Kirk comes in with the clean guitar I always get a chill down my spine 10/10
5 Sad but True- Better in the studio but the guitar solo is so much better live they ruined the chorus though but I still love this song 9/10
6 Of Wolf and Man- Worst song on any of the three albums the sound is so muffled in my opinion i think James ruined it still this song is awesome 8/10(keep in mind all the songs are awesome)
7 Unforgiven-This song is amazing live I love the acustic intro it is just so awesome also James's voice is really clean for most of it 10/10
8 Justice Meledy- The song is awesome but i wish they could have done more with Blackend and less with And Justice but i still love it 10/10
9 Guitar and Bass Solos- The solos are just to prove that they have a good sense of humor and know how to have fun the bass is just incredible so is Hammets guitar solos and to make it even better it's about 18 minutes long 10/10

Disc 2
1 Through the Never- I don't really listen to this one but when I do my neck gets really sore you know why any ways a great song with some awesome vocals 10/10
2 For Whom the Bell Tolls- one of the best rockers on this disc just an overall kick a$$ song 10/10
3 Fade to Black- This is one of my favorites from ride the lighting this song is also one of my favorites on this whole box set it just is epic live as well as the studio 10/10
4 Master of Puppets -
5 Seek and Destroy- This song from kill em all is awesome in the studio but live the boys come out and kick some serious a$$ this song is SO much better live than studio 10/10
6 Whiplash- See above 10/10

Disc3
1 Nothing Else Matters-
2 Wherever I May Roam -
3 Am I Evil?-
4 Last Caress-
5 One-
6 Battery -
7 Four Horsemen-
8 Motorbreath-
9 Stone Cold Crazy-

Live albums at their best.......2005-10-10

Ok, we have a few good live albums, being Ozzy Osbourne's Tribute, Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills, Sabbath's Past Lives and Led Zeppelin's How the West was Won, but this is probably beyond that, better than studi releases. It is loud, brutal , hair-raisng, exciting, you name it. Just put in the CD and put on some Sennheiser Headphones, and you are at the show. Note, this set does not make you wish you are at the show,. This sret makes you feel as though you were there....,especially the DVDs, although I don't fancy the. Not portable, you see....Get a DVD Audio Ripper (Legally)

My prized possesion.......2005-04-03

This box set is amazing. It contains material up to the Black Album, in 3 CDs and two DVDs. How do you do that? I love it. Metallica is so much better live. Also, the origional book is on DVD 2, and you can make a screen saver with it if you have a DVD-ROM server in your computer. I also really like the "Scary Guy" stencil that comes with the box set, it's pretty big too. This also comes with a amazing textured Metallica sticker which says:

I WAS ON STAGE WITH METALLICA

91-92

IN THE SNAKE PIT

AS A SPECIAL GUEST OF:
METALLICA

This is also green and white, with a big picture of the "Don't Tread On Me" snake from the Black Album.

Many middlebrow masterworks in the mix.......2002-06-09

Eric Coates' "Calling All Workers" and Edward White's "Puffin' Billy" (used as Captain Kangaroo's theme music!) are the two main reasons to buy this first-rate CD. The former work, from 1940, is an elegantly rousing and structurally flawless march in symmetrical binary form, with the second section making its final appearance in augmentation, the note values doubled for wonderful dramatic effect. Such by-the-book perfection is news when encountered in Mozart or Beethoven, and it should be given its due here. The equally effective "Puffin' Billy" is breezily structured by comparison, with a minimum of thematic material transformed through theme and variation and frequent modulations into a charming and satisfyingly complete train journey. The piece is repetitious as can be, but it doesn't sound that way, and therein lies the miracle of its composition. These two works steal the CD, hands-down.

But there are several close seconds, including the marvelous, Satie-worthy "The Boulevardier," and "The Haunted Ballroom," a piece that evokes the title in a way that is almost spooky. And there's a corny but lovely piece by Albert ("In a Persian Market") Ketelbey called "Bells Across the Meadows." Ketelbey cunningly and cleverly suggests the bells of the title through the subtlest of means--namely, bells sounding in the distance. Across the meadows, almost. But the music works, and that's all that matters.

Fills a need for many music collections ..........2000-11-09

Intelligent, entertaining light orchestra music is something I find fills a great space in my collection. It's perfect for those days you just don't feel up to Mahler or Wagner, but still want some music in your life. This excellent first volume in one of Hyperion's most popular series is a great way to get started.

All of the tunes on this generously-filled CD are written by British masters of light music and played with fizzing energy and a sense of fun by Ronald Corp and his fine orchestra. No piece outstays its welcome and some may be familiar to you -- especially "Puffin' Billy," which was used as the theme for the old Captain Kangaroo children's show! Many are probably very familiar to British listeners, having been used as openers for popular BBC radio and TV shows over the years.

Tuneful and entertaining, this CD is a great find and could become one of your favorites. Give it a chance -- like me, you may find yourself hunting after others in the series: British Light Music Classics 2 and 3, American Light Music Classics, and European Light Music Classics.

British music we don't hear enough of.......2000-11-07

This CD brings a smile to my face. Vanity Fair and the Boulevardier will make you light on your feet. Dusk is another beauty. The CD is full of wonderful, clever music. I'm looking forward to getting CDs 2 and 3. The music may have been around for a while but it is a fresh as ever.

This cd will lift your spirits from the first song right through to the end. I loved every song, even though I was listening to many of them for the first time. This is one of my all-time favorite albums. Try it, you'll like it!

Excellent Sampler Disc From Important Series!.......2000-01-30

If you have always wanted to try out some of Marco Polo's British Light Music series, here is your chance, and for only pennies. This CD whets your appetite for investigating the rest of the series. At first, it seems strange that the orchestras would not be very idiomatic for this music, but the conductor makes these performances shine.There are a few favorites but many pieces that I have never heard before and are welcome in any collection. My favorites are "Sleepy Lagoon", "Dam Busters March", and "Knightsbridge March".These are by Eric Coates, the most famous person on these discs (at least to American Listeners). Fans of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops will recognize "In A Persian Market" with the chanting "Bakseesh, Bakseesh, Allah". Arthur Benjamin is represented by the Jamaican Rhumba,his popular hit (although we need more recordings of his serious music.) Edward German is represented by one work,but it would have been nice to have the Henry VIII dances on here also. You will also recognize "Sleepy Lagoon" and "Roses of Picardy" because they were turned into pop songs in America. Try this one out-it is fun!

Well I have to disagree with the reviewer who find this album to be a ¨part 2¨to the 1st one.It's not.In ¨Baby Sitters...¨the
girls had not yet learned to play their instuments(this is
merely informative,no big deal) and were influenced by their
producer,the moronic Sonic Youth.Their second album
find them more mature,experienced and influenced by hard rock bands like Kiss but with an overall punk sound,burying
forever their debut sonic-grundge-noise crappy sound.To
my surprise,this record rocks in a similar way as their latest
¨Luxury problem¨work does.And that's no small feat.For
some unknown reason their label Go-Kart records,does
not longer offer this title so I guess the best option is Amazon now.

Not for the Faint at Heart.......2003-07-10

I bought this CD no more than 2 weeks ago. This was the last one which helped me complete my 5-album Lunachicks collection. This came out in 1992 (the year that marked the height of Grunge) and I can best describe "Binge & Purge" as being "Babysitters on Acid -- Part 2" because of its similar raw, acidic guitar sounds. The reason I decided to give this 4 stars is because even I got grossed out by some of the content: I warn future buyers that out of all the records the band released in the 90's, this one marks the peak of juvenile disgust by tackling about every bodily fluid imaginable. The title song "Binge & Purge" should be listened to by teenage girls as a method of staying away from Bulimia; in no more than 3 minutes, B&P describes in graphic detail how repeatedly forced regurgitations (often done in secret) can ultimately kill a girl in the end. And then there's "Plugg," which is the first (and not the last) song about PMS (flow and all!) But alot of the other tracks are cleverly written, including "Mom" and "This is Serious"
(an anthem for the Lunachicks themselves!)I still recommend this to any fan of this band; it completes the band's transition from their debut record and 1995's more polished "Jerk of all Trades."

This is serious, the Lunachicks will make you delirious...........2001-07-18

Binge and Purge, being the Lunachicks second album, is a great follow-up to Babysitters On Acid. As Binge and Purge maintains a harder edge that was present in the sound of Babysitters On Acid, it shows a more creative and playful choice of lyrics. Songs such as "This is Serious" and "Binge and Purge" uplift this album from the darker songs "Apathetic" and "Whole Lotta B.S." "This is Serious" incorporates a jingle from an old anti-drug commercial. Listen carefully and you'll be able to spot it. If you liked Babysitters on Acid, you'll love Binge and Purge; but if you've just recently heard Lunachicks with their recent albums "Luxury Problem" and "Pretty Ugly," this album will take a little getting used to. It's a great album none-the-less. Everyone who listens to it is sure to find something on this album that they'll love.

It contains songs not on other CD........2007-01-01

I am pretty happy with the CD I have. I noticed that these songs are not on other CD. Summer Time in Venice, Three Coins in the Fountain, The Impossible Dream, Send in The Clown, Somewhere My Love and Elizabethan Serenade. The sound quality is acceptable.

The Best Of The Mantovani Orchestra.......2004-04-13

This cd is an ok collection of tunes from Mantovani.It's not the best but it's ok.This 2 cd set features songs such as three coins in a fountain,send in the clowns,skater's waltz,for once in my life and others.This isn't the only version of for once in my life Mantovani did.This version is light strings.Manti's other version is with a harpsicord and heavy strings.It is on Mantovani Scene/Mantovani Sound which has just come out from Vocolion.It also has such songs as dear heart,both sides now,honey and a lot of others.Amazon doesn't have this yet but I have just recieved my copy from another website.Like the other viewer said unfortuanly the sound quality is bad on the best of collection.I even heard somebody coughing on one track and there is some tape hiss from the transfer.I would like to recommend a 2 cd set by John Fox going under the name of the starry night orchestra that is put out by yestermusic(good music group)and has 30 tracks by Mr.Fox.Every song has a heavy string contingment and it states that these were played on beautiful music stations.John Foxes Strings are so beautiful.
The John Fox I'm talking about isn't the same John Fox that is a commedian that is sold on this site.

The Best of the Mantovani Orchestra (vol 1 & 2).......2002-09-14

The Madacy Label has betrayed Mantovani's genious, and substituted poor recordings in these 2 CD's. I have immediately
cancelled all Madacy Label orders with everyone, and will investigate all future items with a Canadian origin prior to purchase.

Poor Recording.......2002-09-05

The quality of the recording is poor. You can hear flutter in the string passages, which is 90% of Mantovani's music! There is also hiss noise, and pops in piece transitions... Amateur transcription from tape to CD's, is my guess. Someone else made bad reviews regarding the poor recording on the same record label, so my suggestion is to stay away from the label Madacy Records.

Top of the "Beautiful Music" Heap.......2001-02-19

This CD has a nice collection of Mantovani's work. The combination of older standards with "newer" (such as Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life")is great. This is the stuff that is usually mocked as "elevator music" but also considered by many good romancing background music. Many of these arrangements were heard on a local Beautiful Music FM station where I live before the format change. The only negative I have is for a "box set" there is no write-up on the Orchestra. It would have been nice to read about Mantovani and what inspired his arrangements, and the orchestra personnell. My copy was made in Canada by Madacy. Maybe someone who has contact with that company could recommend a booklet for any future copies made.

Very nice music, but..........2005-12-28

If you are looking for incidental (background) music used in Monty Python's Flying Circus. This CD only contains one track, and it is the wrong version. The performance is completely different.

Knightsbridge March was The Dull Life of A City Stockbroker.

Second volume of a highly entertaining series........2000-11-09

Light orchestral works are becoming something of a lost art, but the British have excelled at them -- the form is especially popular during their annual "Proms" concerts -- and this second volume of Hyperion's popular series continues in the same high-quality vein as Volume One. Twenty pieces by some of the best British light music composers on a generously-packed 78 minute CD -- no skimping here!

These aren't meant to be challenging works, but are skillfully orchstrated, excellently played, and well recorded. The variety is tremendous -- you may even recognize a few of the pieces and say to yourself, "so THAT'S where that tune came from!"

Perfect music for easy listening on a lazy Sunday afternoon, or anytime you need a break from the classical music heavyweights. Hyperion's packaging and booklet notes are, as usual for this premium classical label, uniformly excellent.

For more of this refreshing series, check out Volumes One and Three, as well as European Light Music Classics and American Light Music Classics.
