a classic.............2007-05-17

I can still remember the first time I heard this soundtrack. It was on my family's turntable. We happened to own the original vinyl addition. THE SOUND OF MUSIC (AKA THE SOUND OF MUSIC, in the words of Christopher Plummer who was Captain Von Trapp, in the film) is a classic musical that has really spanned the generations of young and old viewers, for (more than) four decades. For starters, the music is catchy ("The Sound of Music," "These Are A Few of My Favorite Things," and "Edelweiss," as just a few examples). Secondly, this cast was just great! Though, I have a personal preference toward the original cast, with Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel. Nonetheless, Julie Andrews is great here. What a beautiful soprano voice.

This edition features bonus transfers of interviews with those involved in bringing THE SOUND OF MUSIC to the screen. What's more, this is the complete soundtrack (instrumental and music featuring vocals is included here). Definitely a "must buy" for true fans.

Sound of Music--Still Great.......2007-05-13

I loved the music when it came on the big screen. I loved it on LP and cassette. Now, I love it even more on CD. The joy I get from listening to it while driving is wonderful. It sends me back to fond family memories. This is a must have.

Sound of Music.......2007-05-07

The CD of the soundtrack of Sound of Music came in good shape and in good time.

I love The Sound of Music!.......2007-04-14

I love this movie so much, it's my favorite! So I recently bought this cd. Wow! If you love the movie, you'll love the cd. The cd has every song from the flic and is so clear. Listening to the songs make me want to watch the movie all over again for the trillionth time. You'll be able to picture every scene listening to this cd. Also, if your stuck in traffic and need a pick me up, play this cd. You'll wake up from your drowsy drive and entertain yourself cause you can actually sing along to a song and know the words, while the movie is replaying in your head.

Loved it so much, we bought it twice........2007-04-11

You know all of these songs and Julie Andrews is at her best. This is a great soundtrack, and the disc got a ton of play in my family. On a vacation trip to California the disc accidentally got left behind in the rental car. After 6 months of the kids asking for me to replace the disc, I finally bought it again. The disc is in heavy rotation, to borrow a term from radio programming, and everyone's enjoying it again.

Album Description

40th Anniversary Edition Of The Classic Album!

1965's Whipped Cream & Other Delights transformed Herb Alpert & The Tijuana into bonafide superstars, spending an incredible 8 straight weeks at the top of the charts. The album was not only memorable for its music, but for the iconic cover art which featured model Dolores Erickson strategically swathed in whipped cream. The original twelve tracks revolve around the theme of food and include such classics the triple Grammy-winning hit, "A Taste of Honey" and the Dating Game theme "Whipped Cream." This special 40th Anniversary edition features two studio bonus tracks along with a 20-page booklet and a collector's poster.

Each album in the Herb Alpert Signature Series features meticulously remastered sound, deluxe packaging, detailed liner notes, and an intro by Herb Alpert containing personal recollections and anecdotes.

PASS THE TEQUILA! AND LISTEN TO THE BRASS! ONE OF MY FAVORITES.......2007-07-12

I am repeating this story you are about to read as it gives an explanation of why I love this music so much! "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" has many of the songs on it used on the ride you are about to read about. It is one of my favorite Herb albums for that reason and I was mesmerized(as a kid)looking at that gorgeous cover! That being said....Please read on.....I have fond memories of the music of Herb Alpert! I was introduced to him at an early age as my parents were fans of his records. I didn't hear much of him again until I was coming of age in Wildwood N.J. at the age of 15 when I used to party under the boardwalk with my friends and our girlfriends underneath Hunt's Pier's "El Scrambler" ride. The ride played Herb Alpert tunes non stop! I guess you could say I became a "Man" underneath that pier with my first love listening to the Tijuana Brass. Later in life in my 30's I was taking a break from playing in a band in the local bars,I became a DJ and I would mix Herb Alpert in my mixes and buy shots of Tequila for my fans! To this day when I play these songs at parties we all look for the Tequila bottle! This is a one of a kind sound and if I were stranded on a desert island with only a few albums, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass would be included in that collection! This is one of his best albums. I no longer own the original records so, I can not say if the new cd's are true to the originals. They sound fantastic to my ear!

Vintage Delights.......2007-05-14

It had been a long time since I heard this album on vinyl, but all the memories came flooding back. I had forgotten how well Herb and the guys actually played, and that each piece had its own hook! I recommend this CD as a piece of pop musical history, whose sound is every bit as fresh today as it was 40 years ago.

Excellent Music.......2007-05-10

Whipped Cream: Not for the Lactose Intolerant........2007-04-29

1965's Whipped Cream & Other Delights transformed Dolores Erickson into the bonafide superstar of my adolescent whipped cream fantasies. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass didn't do so bad, either, spending an incredible 8 straight weeks at the top of the charts. The memorable cover might have accounted for a large percentage of sales, especially among my demographic, but the music didn't hurt.

This is a prime example of the 60's "concept" album, with all of the intrumentals named after food. Lollipops & Roses." "A Taste of Honey" and the Dating Game theme "Whipped Cream." Etc. Etc. It caught the Zietgeist and rode it like a wave. Boys in Elementary School were inspired to learn the trumpet. I, among them.

I think the first record I purchased was Herb Alpert & TJB, but it wasn't this album, it was a 45 single.

I later did get this album, and several others of theirs, and then my neighbor's mother borrowed it for a wild party, and it got scratched from all the crazy drunken dancing.

PSYCHEDELIC GOLD, THIS EP ROCKS!! THE BEATLES WERE HUMBLED WITH VIBRATIONS IN 1966..... .......2007-01-13

I can still hear some hiss and tape imperfections on good vibrations. It did'nt matter to me Vibrations still sounded loud and clear and for the best part cleaned up from the original master tapes. I like the extra tracks alot. This cd is simple and sweet and sounds great despite old original tape defects. I dont believe there ever was a stereo recording for vibrations. I enjoyed this cleaned up mono version of good vibrations and besides if their was a genuine stereo original recording of vibrations from circa early to mid-1966 I think it would have surfaced by now. Besides I think mono recordings sounded better to Brian Wilson because I beleive he is deaf in one ear. Enjoy this cd ep it may one day go double or triple what it costs now. Produced for a then staggering $100,000 Good Vibrations was the exclamation point to Pet Sounds in the fall of 1966 as the Beach Boys really stuck it to the Beatles. Due to these Beach Boy releases in 1966 the Beatles would have their greatest year creativity wise in 1967 as they would answer there well armed rivals with Pennylane, Strawberry fields, and of course Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles created masterpieces from Revolver to their last magnum opus Abbey Road. My honest opinion (and this might offend Beatle and rock fans in general) 'Pet Sounds" and "Good Virations" were the blueprints to all Beatle recordings from 1966 through 1969. I respect the Beatles for their writing and musical creativity. I really feel that the Beatles were so amazed by "Pet Sounds" and "Good Vibrations" that with their releases from 1966- 1969 the Beatles really tried to capture the sound of "Pet Sounds" and "Good Vibrations". There is no argument from me, the Beatles did create masterpices from 66-69 but honestly, never matched the sound of "Pet Sounds" and Good Vibrations". If it were'nt for Brians over indulgences post Pet Sounds as the song goes God Only Knows what the Beach Boys could have accomplished for the rest of the psychedelic 1960s. Man I'll tell you there has been nothing before or after that sounds like "Good Vibrations". Brian Wilson is the man, the one man who made the Beatles and Sir George Martin realize that they to could be surpassed in talent, let alone by one man and that one man is BRIAN WILSON................

I Picked Up Good Vibrations..........2007-01-10

...and found it to be a nice little "single", with different versions of the song and the original B-side, too. Short and sweet.

disappointment.......2007-01-03

Sorry but this didn't cut it for me. It sounded more like a amateur rehersal tape than what i expect from the Beach Boys!

Can't be beat!.......2006-11-10

If you are a diehard Beach Boys fan, its very important to have this if only for the memento it is. If you enjoy listening to outakes and want to get a feel of the whole production I highly recommend this wonderful little package. Its the Boys and all the studio musicians giving their all to perhaps the most complex piece of music Brian Wilson ever wrote.

A Real Treat! Especially the DVD!.......2007-06-27

This version of "Pet Sounds" is a real treat for fans; the fuzzy green packaging is very sturdily built and is nice to the touch although it remains to be seen how well it will stand the elements over time. As to the discs themselves if you already have a mono and a stereo version of the album then the cd will be nothing new for you. I have never been a fan of duplicating albums with both mono and stereo versions on one disc but for me as I only had a mono version prior to this version, I didn't mind getting this for the stereo version and especially for the DVD 5.1 surround version. What I didn't like was that "Trombone Dixie" is missing and it was on the Dutch version of the stereo version that I used to have years ago.

The dvd has some promo videos and candid interviews with members of the band and especially of Brian Wilson but the sound quality of the DVD Dolby Surround is truly fantastic. You just end up hearing sounds that you didn't know were there when you were just listening to the cd. It's made me decide to forego the cds and to go straight for the DVD whenever I want to listen to the album. For this reason alone I'd say go get this version unless they end up just releasing the DVD in an mlps format the way they have just done with U2's "Rattle and Hum". If they do that in the future, I'd say go and get that if you already have the cd. Oh yeah, and they really should include "Trombone Dixie" in addition the "Hang On to Your Ego" that they included with the cd but not with the dvd as well as the other outtake sounds that were part of the bonus tracks that were released in the 1991 stereo version.

Confessions from a curious listener.......2007-01-20

I must confess, I bought Pet Sounds out of curiosity, since it has been ranked as one of the best albums in history, behind the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper. In addition, I also confess that before Pet Sounds I had very limited knowledge of the Beach Boys and/or Brian Wilson's music and after playing it once I sincerely say: PET SOUNDS IS INDEED A MASTERPIECE CRAFTED BY A GIFTED ARTIST !!!.

The 40th Anniversary edition comes with a wonderful DVD that documents the making of this album through interviews and original footage, plus a video showing a visit Sir George Martin made to Brian Wilson's home.

This album is a MUST-HAVE for music fans, and I totally agree with Sir Paul McCartney's views on this album (printed on the CD's booklet), expressing that "NOBODY IS TRULY MUSICALLY EDUCATED WITHOUT LISTENING TO PET SOUNDS"

You can never have too much Pet Sounds.......2007-01-04

Pet Sounds is the ultimate aural experience. I enjoyed the 5.1 Surround mix. I sat in a chair, closed my eyes and drifted into a soundscape of textured notes and voices.

I already own the box set, the 1st CD edition and even an original vinyl copy. It seems that every time I upgrade I am never disappointed.

Purist seem to like the Mono version of the album. I love the all the sounds that scream out of the stereo version.

If you do not have the box set or the other stereo Cd, I would highly recommend this set. It covers everything Pet Sounds that you will want. If you do not care for the interviews and film, you will appreciate the surround mix on the DVD. The box set is more for Brian wilson Fanatics(Myself included) and collectors.

Finally, a HIGH CLASS package for a high class album.......2006-11-11

Brian Wilson made a generation of kids look at love lost/love gained/love period, the way they never had before. It really wasn't an "age of innocence" back in 1966, but it was less complicated than what it would be like in the following decades, having to reconcile issues like E.R.A. amendments, growing tolerance/promotion of homosexuality, H.I.V./AIDS, and, ahem, the preponderance of man-made global warming. SHEESH! Back then we (I was a teenager in 1966) only had love and a war to deal with, beyond getting our school grades up for mom and dad (most of us had both, in the same house back then).

So, this work of art was literally outstanding in its field, and those of us who actually listened to it were challenged with our feelings, thoughts, and actions toward this thing that we called LOVE. It was an absolute shame that Capitol Records was spoiled by their cash cow producers (The Beatles and The Beach Boys) and only wanted more of the same stuff that paid their salaries, and yet couldn't see the "art" part even as it was smacking them in their corporate faces! This album, Pet Sounds, spawned a deeper penetration into mainstream pop music of artistically developed poetry and music. Now we were getting exposed to productions that challenged our senses: abstract forms like "MacArthur's Park", self-divulgences like "17" by Laura Nyro, and of course John Lennon's 2 great anthems "All You Need Is Love" & "Give Peace A Chance".

....all thanks to this work of angst...I mean, ART, by Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys - "Pet Sounds". And this package is a fine tribute to its existence...with a Bonus DVD too!

What's better than Pet Sounds?.......2006-11-10

The essence of Brian Wilson. The full bodied sound to the ear not unlike fine wine is to the pallet. This great package gives you your choice of production, both mono and stereo and caters to all the diehard Beach Boys fans with a variety of things, including a DVD to enjoy. A must have for those who never experienced Pet Sounds at its fullest. After all, this is one of the most important albums of all time!

GREAT NEW MASTERING and new version of EGO.......2007-05-13

Please see producer Mark Linett's review under the deluxe "fuzzy" version of this new CD/DVD. The mono version of the album has been remastered from a superior source to that used in 2000, and a more complete version of "Hang On To Your Ego" has been used.

Simply The Best.......2007-04-10

I collect Beach Boys & this is just another example of the best album The Beach Boys ever put to wax. After they released the CD the first time it contained the mono/stereo versions (which I prefer the mono) with a bonus track. Then a box set devoted to the album. Now they release it like the single CD but, with a DVD to further cement this album as one of the best ever released. I highly recommend this one if your looking to check out what the fuss is all about. Search "Judemac Forever" on msn.

ON 5/16/66 PET SOUNDS STARTED THE PSYCHEDELIC 1960S....THE BEACH BOYS MASTERPIECE, GOD ONLY KNOWS........................2007-01-06

The Beach Boys experimented with this new form of Psychcedelic sound on thier two 1965 lps (The Beach Boys "Today" and "Summer Days and Summer Nights". With these two 1965 lps Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys were trying to create a new sound that at the time no other rock group had ever created. In December 1965 after Brian Wilson had just heard the Beatles "Rubbersoul", a statement album from the fab four, implying that the whole album should be counted as the hit, not just a single or two off the album and the rest just filler. Brian would say "I want to make a record just like that, but I want to make it better!" Brians competitive fires were stoked to compete with the Beatles. And what Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys created blew the Beatles right out of the water and rest was history. In fact the Beach Boys were so worried about Pet Sounds being accepted by Capital records they were prepared to be told to "go back to the studio and make a friendly top forty record but defenintly please nothing like Pet Sounds". Capital Records were not so sure how the public would accept this new sound. An incredible early psychedelic recording released May 16,1966 which influenced the Beatles 1967 Sgt.Pepper so much that George Martin has stated "if it were'nt for Pet Sounds Sgt. Pepper would not have been created". Pretty strong words from Sir George who helped produce the worlds greatest rock bands music. Believe me when the Beatles heard Pet Sounds their jaws dropped with envy and anger. 1966 was a very musically transitional year for both the Beatles and the Beach Boys. At this time on Aug.5th 1966 the Beatles released their counter shot to Pet Sounds with their masterpiece "Revolver". Many rockologists and Beatle fans alike consider Revolver to be a better recording than Sgt.Pepper, of course it will always be debatable and an ongoing endless conversation. The Beach Boys were to add an exclamation point to Pet Sounds in october 1966 as the Beach Boys unleashed their pschyedelic masterpiece "Good Vibrations" just a few months before the Beatles started their Sgt. Pepper recording sessions. The Beatles were enjoying success with Revolver and captured some of the new pschyedelic sound with Revolvers release. Even with the success of Revolver, the release of Good Vibrations defined more of the psychedelic sound in rock music in the fall of 1966 than Revolver did and really got the Beatles crazy with envy, and created a real urgency for the Beatles to get back to Abbey Road studios to outdue their well armed rivals. The Beach Boys never approached the success of the Beatles due partly if not all to Brian Wilsons bad habits of over indulgance, but Pet Sounds really made the psychedelic era sound and influenced the Beatles Sgt Pepper. As the song says God only knows what the Beach boys could have done post Pet Sounds, if it were'nt for Brians over indulgance in bad habits, will never know. Pet sounds was recorded while Brian had these bad habits but that is what helped Pet Sounds sound unique, Brian let these bad habits get the better of him post Pet Sounds. Pet Sounds was not a commercial success when released, but clearly got the attention of many music artist including classical composer Leonard Bernstien, as their minds were just blown away by it. I listen to both Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds and there is some really eerie simularities, besides the instrumentation between the two, on Pet Sounds after "Caroline No" the last song on the recording you hear a trolly and a dog barking and than a train with its horn going off and a dog barking while and after the train passes. On Sgt. Pepper you hear barn animals, possibly Pet Sounds influenced and on Magical Mystery Tour you hear a train with its horn just before going into Pennylane. Pink Floyd would use animals sounds in their 1970s work, 1970 "Atom Heart Mother" including a cow on the cover of the lp. Pink Floyd in 1976 released an album called Animals and even used giant inflatable pigs on their Animals tour stage show, I wonder if Pet Sounds had anything to due with that? Pet sounds caused the Beatles to disappear into Abbey Road for 6-8 months to make Sgt. Pepper. To make Sgt. Pepper better than Pet Sounds and Good Vibrations. Because of this Sgt. Pepper is the yardstick to measure every rock recording from past, present and future. The Beatles also had the greatest record producer of all time on their side Sir George Martin. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin vs. Brian Wilson. Brian Wilson was on his own and had no real help, even though the remaining Beach Boys had some creative, musical skills. The one thing I will give the Beach Boys over the Beatles is that they had better technology in the recording studio than the Beatles at Abbey Road. I respect the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson (Tony Asher) as a song writer and music creator. In my opinion the Beach Boys Pet Sounds set up the pschycodelic era, a really important era in rock history that even the Beatles and most every other rock band during the psychedelic era copied Pet Sounds in some form. I like having both versions of Pet Sounds, Mono so you could hear how it sounded in 1966 and stereo because you could hear different instruments that you cant hear in mono. I like the stereo version better because I am just used to stereo recordings, but I still like to listen to the mono version and go back to 1966. The 5.1 stereo sound is mind boggeling and must be heard on your theatre system, you will not beleive Pet Sounds could sound this incredible. Every song on Pet Sounds is a an early psychedelic journey into the start of the most important era in rock history. Pet Sounds started the most Important era in rock history the Psychedelic Era. I recommend Pet Sounds to any music lover this recording truly set the standard as definetly one of the greatest most influential rock recordings ever created. This cd mono and stereo sounds pristine and brilliantly remastered. The miniature booklet supplied with this 40th anniversary edition cd is extremely informative and the dvd is an incredible look into this historical facinating recording. Pet Sounds is a very influential and timeless recording. Pet Sounds is the blueprint for the entire psychodelic 1960s, early 1970s, which the Beatles and many rock groups of the time used the Pet Sounds blueprint to mold and create their own music during this time. If you the reader wish to get more into Pet Sounds you should look into purchasing The Pet Sounds Sessions. You will with this four cd box set see how genius Brian Wilson constructs his 1966 masterpiece. If Pet sounds Sessions is to overkill you will be making the right choice just sticking to this fortieth anniversary edition release.............................

It is so true, Pet Sounds IS one of the BEST albums of all time..........2006-09-27

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 of this album. The harmony's and instrumentals are simply off the charts and out of this world. Not just one song or several songs, but this whole album; it is simply a masterpiece. And the stereo versions of the tracks are simply mind blowing. Mr. Paul McCartney of the Beatles was right on the money, God Only Knows was the best song ever written and that Pet Sounds IS the album of all time. Go pick up this copy if you have not already.

Almost complete!.......2007-04-29

Well done to all involved in the release of this CD. My 25 years search for the mysterious and magical music of 'Lost in Space' has now been rewarded. Hundreds of letters sent by fans of this music over the years has paid off with a beautifully presented double CD package containing extensive liner notes about the music & composers involved. Great artwork from Mark Banning which we have come to expect and crystal clear remastering of the soundtrack elements. One piece of cue music remains elusive however. It was first heard during the episode 'The reluctant stowaway' and used extensively in the first season. The cue commences with the sound of a heartbeat coupled with trombones played in their lowest register. The 40th Anniversary liner notes state that some elements of 'The Reluctant Stowaway' soundtrack were lost, I guess this important cue was one of them? Possibly copies of the original soundtrack exist in other parts of the world. I live in Hope. Bernard Hermanns music does not appear in any of the Lost in Space releases. Could this be that copyright is held elsewhere? The Hermann music is very important. Music fans may not be aware that John Robinson's jet pack scene for example uses music from the 1953 film " beyond the 12 mile reef ". Other dark and sinister scenes from 'Lost in Space' use the Hermann music from the films "The day the earth stood still" 1951 and "Garden of Evil" 1954. Hopefully these 3 Bernard Hermann film soundtracks are still available to music fans who want to complete their 'Lost in Space' music collections.

If you want to time-trip to the LIS episodes via the music and the cues, here you go. LIS was prime escapist television from the bountiful fount of Irwin Allen, and like its stable mate, Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea, featured trite, geared-to-kiddies plots and low-budget special effects.

The packaging for such an expensive two disk "limited edition" is a shame. The flimsy swing-out jewel box fell apart in my hands as I openred it. I had to replace it with an old two-disk stacker type I had left over from old software.

Classic soundtracks of a great show.......2007-03-12

It's classic T.V. show with music is unforgetable soundtracks, any fan of the show must get it well worth the money, only 5000 made, so get it now......

Finally! The "missing" cues.......2006-07-25

A few years back, GNP Crescendo released three volumes of LOST IN SPACE music (still available if you search around on Amazon). All three volumes are wonderful -- but to fit the John Williams scores for episodes 1, 3 and 5 onto one CD, some cues were eliminated.

THIS newer set includes almost all of those missing cues -- including glorious tracks from "The Reluctant Stowaway," "Island in the Sky" and "The Hungry Sea" that weren't on the previous releases.

But wait, there's more: A multitude of cues from other episodes too -- not scored by Williams -- from seasons one and two, including the full-length "The Family" theme used in "Welcome Stranger" and a host of other episodes whenever there was a sentimental moment.

Want even more? The third-season music bumper (used halfway through each episode when coming back from a commercial) and the "CBS Presents This Program in Color" tracks also are here. Altogether it's more than two-and-a-half hours of music, on two CDs.

I was REALLY excited to get this. When combined with the previous releases, it's almost all of the music used on LOST IN SPACE for the entire three seasons. (And yes, the liner notes are extensive too.)

Thank you, La-Land Land Records, for releasing this!

Need to be reminded just how singular a phenomenon the Beatles were? Take a listen to This Bird Has Flown, Razor & Tie's 40th anniversary indie-rock tribute to their second album of 1965, Rubber Soul. Tributes to other artists that aim to include songs as timeless as "Drive My Car," "Norwegian Wood," "Michelle," and "In My Life" typically have to cover their entire careers, and even then that's often not enough. This, however, is a one-album show, sequenced in the same order as the original, and the same thing could have been done with almost any other of the Beatles' LPs, with similar results. In some cases--the Donnas' "Drive My Car," Dar Williams's "You Won't See Me," Rhett Miller's "Girl"--the arrangements are a little too note-perfectly faithful to remain compelling. But a good number of the tracks here are sufficiently obscure to keep things interesting even if their arrangements do hew a little too closely to the originals. Into this category fall Yonder Mountain String Band's "Think for Yourself" and Mindy Smith's "The Word," two rarely covered songs it's a delight to hear recast in the Americana mold.

The best listens on This Bird Has Flown, however, are those that exhibit some of the experimentalism and innovation that was the mid-period Beatles' hallmark. On "If I Needed Someone," Nellie McKay turns George Harrison's Byrds pastiche into a breezy day at a Brazilian beach; Low strip "Nowhere Man" to its bones in a typically minimalist performance; the Fiery Furnaces recast "Norwegian Wood" as a keyboard-driven funhouse extravaganza; and Sufjan Stevens warbles "What Goes On" beyond recognition, taking it from country Ringo vehicle to jazzy woodwind spectacle. The disc closes with the Cowboy Junkies' "Run for Your Life": with murderous lead vocals and ominous, threatening instrumentation, it's a far cry from the slight number that weakly ended the original. Here's hoping there's a follow-up in 2006 for the 40th anniversary of Revolver. --Benjamin Lukoff

Album Description

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the release of the Beatles' legendary album Rubber Soul, Razor & Tie Entertainment is proud to announce This Bird Has Flown: A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul. The 14-track album mirrors the sequencing of the original UK release of Rubber Soul. This Bird Has Flown features some of today's hottest artists, including Sufjan Stevens, the Fiery Furnaces, Ben Harper, Dar Williams, Mindy Smith, the Donnas, and many more. Of the importance of Rubber Soul, Allison Robertson of the Donnas commented, "They got a little more folky, they got a little more funky and more rocking...it was so different, it was like heavy and light at the same time."

The album is produced by Jim Sampas (producer of 2002's Badlands: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska). On choosing the lineup of artists on the record, Sampas stated, "As we looked toward artists we would approach, we felt they should be kindred spirits, whose gifts for singing and arranging lend themselves to these melodies and themes. Each artist on this album brought their own fascinating interpretations and have extracted new meanings from Rubber Soul."

Originally released in the United Kingdom on December 6, 1965, the George Martin-produced Rubber Soul is considered to be an extraordinarily important album in the Beatles' catalogue, the first flowering of the complex songwriting and production techniques of their later releases. The album features the now-ubiquitous songs "Nowhere Man," "Drive My Car," "Michelle," and "In My Life," among others. It held the #1 position on the British album charts for eight weeks and remained on the chart for a total of forty-two weeks. In 1966, "Michelle" won John Lennon and Paul McCartney the Grammy for Song of the Year. To date, Rubber Soul has been certified 6x platinum.

My goodness.......2007-01-09

I received this cd as a Christmas gift and I love it!

Important note: I have also already been listening to many of the bands that perform the cover songs on this cd and have enjoyed their music for a long time.

Which brings up an important question. Why do people perform cover songs in the first place? It is to create an interpretation of a work in their *own original style*. Therefore, you should buy a tribute album because, first and foremost, you like the bands that perform on that album.

If you want to listen to songs written by the Beatles performed by a band that sounds like the Beatles, go buy a Beatles cd!

It's Indie-Rock Guys...RELAX!.......2006-01-19

The Beatles have and will always be my favourite band of all times but that's not to say that I have reservations about other people covering their songs. I like hearing the different versions and this album is suppose to be different...if you like the Fiery Furnaces (and I do) then you will enjoy their rendition of Norwegian Wood (like I do) and Sufjan Steven's version is also interesting as for all the other beautiful covers. This CD is not to be interpreted or to be classified under the same type (if there ever was one) as The Beatles' music. It's Indie..it's different...and it's beautiful all the same.

horrible,horrible,horrible.....................2006-01-09

This cd SUCKS. I don't know what else to say. DO NOT waste your money. As a lifelong Beatles fan, and somebody who has just about every possible tribute cd to the Beatles-which numbers about 150 or so, this by far was the worst. William Shatner sounded better on his tribute album. OK, maybe I'm exagerating a little. Three or Four of the songs were OK (Drive My Car was probably the best and it was mediocre.) Save your money and buy a remastered Lennon cd or something.

Don't bother.......2005-12-20

Why mess with perfection? I have no qualms about artists who cover the classics, but there's no connection with the Beatles' music in this CD. They just don't get it.

I bought the original when I was, well, much younger, and it sounds better all the time.

When all is said and done...........2005-12-15

...just makes you jones for the originals. Points though, for some clever and artful re-dos, including the redoubtable Sufie Stevens, and particularly, Nellie McKay: her samba re-casting of "If I Needed Someone" really takes it to some new places.

This double disc serves as an excellent recap of Brown's long classic period, beginning with 1956's "Please, Please, Please" and ending with the great disco-era single "It's Too Funky in Here." A great party album and undeniable space saver but inevitably no match for the four-CD Star Time box. --Rickey Wright

Tribute to the Godfather..........2006-12-30

I bought this CD in 2003 and have enjoyed it so much, even moreso now that James Brown is gone. He made amazing music that you could dance to, exercise to. It's impossible to hear his jumping beats and stay seated. He makes you feel good; makes you want to get funky; makes you want to get up offa that thang! I'm pretty sad knowing he's gone from this life, but I'm glad I have this CD collection and the video I also bought at the same time, to keep him indelibly in my mind and keep me on the good foot! I remember walking to school in 6th grade singing, "Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud!" I thank James Brown for caring and being himself. May his soul rest in peace.

the minister of new new super heavy funk, 1933-2006........2006-12-27

not many words need to be said of how the whole world is feeling right now about the man we know as james brown, who has went on to be with the Good Lord Our father, who art in soulful heaven. the man always will be the hardest working man in show business, who's music and passion have kept him in full public view for over 50 years. and we won't even talk about hits!! the man had too many to count!! which still wouldn't be enough , if you asked me...lol...even up to his last performance here in joliet, illinois at the rialto square theater this past september, he still gave it all he got. mr. brown, your efforts, accomplishments, and achievements will not go unoticed by my, and a whole lot of others, too. the funk and soul of your power will shine on in the hearts of all music lovers and appreciaters all over the world!!! goodbye, mr. star time.

HUH!! Get on up!!.......2005-04-14

This 2-CD set kicks some major booty. Nice overview of JB's career. If you wanted to delve deeper into his hardcore funk years, you might wanna look for individual copies of his later albums, but for most of his hot early hits with a slice of the funky stuff, this is pretty nice.

better than 'star time'!.......2004-12-08

That's blasphemous to some of you readers, I'm sure, but hey, at one time I owned both sets. I kept 40th because it has "Down and Out in NY City"; 'Star Time' does not. Anyway, I found myself going for the 40th set whenever I needed some JB. I guess I just don't have the time or patience to wade through box sets anymore.
As for the music, well what can I say? The man INVENTED funk and rap. Think about that -- James Brown invented two musical genres. It boggles the mind. EVERY R&B performer who came after him owes their career to "the Hardest Working Man in Show Business", "Soul Brother #1", "Mr. Dynamite", "the Godfather of Soul", ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. James Brown!
This set has the songs in chronological order so you get to follow his progress from journeyman soul balladeer to one of the most important figures in 20th century music.
"Sex Machine" is one of the greatest songs ever conceived by the mind of man....
The one complaint I have is you can't see James performing this stuff...
So, if you have the $ and the time, get 'Star Time'. But if you're like me 'JB40' is where it's at. Hunh! good gawd!

Fantastic...........2003-03-04

This is a phenomenal set...a dream come true for any fan of the series...The compositions are fantastic. Other reviewers have done a better job than I can at pointing out the subtleties of this collection...I just had to write this review to rebuke the mistaken reviewer who criticized the sound quality. The quality is more than adequate considering the source material and does not take away from this collection at all. If you are a fan of the series, this is a must have and a bargain to boot!

The Twilight Zone: 40th Anniversary Collection.......2003-01-08

I have just auditioned this CD set, and the sound is awful, it's poorly mastered. What [person] thought that adding cheesy echo would cover the fact that it was not mastered from session tapes. I will buy nothing from this label again. It sounds like a bootleg. The harshness of my criticism is directed toward the producers of this disk, as both the TV show, and scores are brilliant. The Varese Sarabande Twilight Zone collections (Volume 1 & 2) on CD or Vinyl are sonically superior, and constitute a fitting example of these fine scores.

Imagination is RIGHT!.......2001-05-23

...These things are so good. Wish I had them years before, but they are here now and it is worth every penny. Your imagination will RUN WILD as you listen to these CDs. Beware! DO NOT listen late at night by yourself or in a car late at night by yourself on a lonely out-of-the-way road. Get the picture?! Yes, they are that thought provoking and spooky.

It's about time that the Twilight Zone series was honored in this way. Congrats to those who put it together!

DO NOT LISTEN WHILE DRIVING OR WALKING ALONE AT NIGHT!.......2000-06-27

About sixteen years ago I bought the original vinyl releases of this music (on Varese Sarabande) because some friends and I had landed a radio show in that would feature radio dramas and skits written by us that would desperately need scoring. I could never forget the haunting music I'd heard a million times while watching The Twilight Zone on television even through the archaic little 3-1/2 inch speaker on the old black and white Philco. After buying all five volumes auditioned them to mark them for mood, time, cues and such...but I soon realized that I was absoulutely enthralled by the music itself. It was so evocative, so distinct and well done that it inspired me to collect soundtracks in general, for work purposes as well as enjoyment. Imagine my dismay when I found most others could not measure up even with orchestras armed with three or four times the players! Years went by. The radio show continued. The Twilight Zone scores were magical. Nearly anything we tracked them to that matched the particular mood of a cut seemed to work PERFECTLY! Sometimes we'd make it a game, dropping the needle on a cut that fit the mood and damned if it didn't score out correctly, with pauses falling as needed. People called and asked who scored this piece or that one. We'd respond "Oh...Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith and Nathan Van Cleave". We got lucky. Our radio work helped us to get into television as writers. We wondered what it must have been like for these composers when they made that leap decades before. And then...some time later...as is always the case with something you covet...I noticed one of my albums was missing. Traveling around with them finally caught up with me. I'd lost one. Volume five, I believe. Frantic, I checked every store in New York that would have it...new, used, collectors, but no dice. Out of print and out of luck. I turned my attention to the remaining four volumes. They were vinyl. They wouldn't last forever in spite of my babying and maintenance. And then I said, "Wait...perhaps the CD age would bring them all to me again in beautiful digital sound. Why worry?" The wait would be for years. When I thought I would finally have to go on e-bay, pay some ridiculous price for Vol. 5, then get the whole batch together, clean them up and burn them onto CD, the Varese CD came out...BUT IT WAS ONLY A BEST OF! ONE LOUSY CD! A TEASE! I e-mailed them "Are you going to put out the rest?" I heard back "Thank you for contacting us about our products, blah, blah, blah". I stopped looking. Until a friend at work saw the crummy Varese single disc on my desk and asked if I'd gotten the "boxed set". "Boxed set?" After I was revived, I went online and lo and behold, there it was! I listened to a sound sample...my God ! Here it was! Chock full of even more than the vinyls had. I ordered immediately. And in one of the rare occurences in American life, I got more than I bargained for! Stellar mastering and sound! The groupings by composer! Rod's openings! Truly informative liner notes. And of course...Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith (Rivaled only in my mind by Ennio Morricone as film and TV composers) in easy to transport digital audio. I listened to them on the way home that night on the LIRR and their power remained. Was the next stop Jamaica station...or "gasp!", Willoughby? The walk home was even better! (or worse if you're a true scaredy-cat) The wind's usual tepid moan and the local mutt's howl merged with this music seemed to signal the coming apocalypse! If you are a fan of great music, and great soundtrack music, this collection is a must. Trust me, you've heard and *enjoyed this music and will enjoy it again. (*Did you know that SCTV used the two-note cue from Goldsmith's "Nervous Man In a $4.00 Room" as John Candy's "Dr. Tongue's" 3-D music cue? If they were hip enough to use Twilight Zone music, you know it's great stuff!)
