New Orleans rock and roll........2007-05-31

This set of CDs is a super collection of New Orleans rock and roll of the mid to late 50's.

SPECIALITY LEGEND !!.......2006-08-15

As well as his speciality buddy, Little Richard sharing the same label with Larry Williams, they both should be sharing the same spotlight together in the "hall of fame". It's a shame his life ended so tragically with a single gun shot wound. Their records will live on and on !!

Great set.......2006-07-08

Easily the best sounding Larry Williams collection around, and the most complete. The mastering is superb. It's hard to understand why so many of these unissued items on Disc 2 never saw release at the time. They are right up there with 'Fannie', 'Moronie' and 'Lizzie'. If you enjoy 50s rock & roll at it's finest, look no further than this 2CD set. It's no wonder John Lennon was a big fan of this guy.

Average customer rating: Nice collection, but patchy.

Nice collection, but patchy........2000-06-25

This is part of the Turtles' budget 5 disc box-set put out by Delta/Laserlight, and I find it odd that all five discs are ALSO availble separately. As it stands, though, they're all nice little compilations, with liner notes that actually manage to trample all over Sundazed's (for shame!) There are ALSO quite a few surprising rarities here, including the single mix of Chicken Little. However, this doesn't even APPROACH being in chronological order, and makes more sense in its proper place in the boxed-set (as there, even though it isn't in chronological order, there's more of a sense of completeness). A nice-enough sampler, with some great tunes, but otherwise, stick to the albums.

Good album. You give me lovin', religion and the title track are the highlights.

a wonderful album.......1999-02-21

This is one of the best albums to come out of the seventies. There is not one bad song on this record, they all rock, it's got soulful voacls and driving guitars, and that makes it worth buying.

Album Description

“Half-Alive consists of live tracks circa 1978, plus a hand full of unreleased lo-fi studio gems from 1974-1975. Suicide warrant legend status. They found their most fertile reception outside America in the form of Soft Cell, Woodentops, Spacemen 3, Sigue Sigue Sputnik. They should have been the American “Kraftwerk.” -Spin Alternative Record Guide We are releasing in digitally re-mastered and re-edited format the legendary ROIR Suicide cassette of 1981, with three bonus tracks, in cd format. This release with original Liner Notes from Lester Bangs has been one of the most requested (“please put this out on cd”) releases in our 21 year history.

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHEHHEHHEHHEHYAHYAHYAHYAH!!!!.......2003-12-19

i bought this initially on cassette in austin while picking up furniture for a friend. on the way home, she decided to take a nap, so, needing to pass a couple of hours & being fairly sleepy myself, i needed a little music to keep me going. i unwrapped the cassette, popped it in, & sat back as the leader tape rolled. what followed was the sound best described in the title for this review: no music, just alan vega heavily echoed YELLING AT ME. snapping it off instantly, i listened to pleased to meet me instead, because, come on, shut up, guy! only after i got home & played the rest of the tape was this music redeemed because this RULES! half alive is apt: there's a lot of early demos which are fuller & more cluttered than what shows up on suidide's first 2 albums. essentially some simple heavily chorused synth lines and reverbed vega vocals repeating the title of the song over & over again. (by the way, this isnt placing judgement or denigrating the tunes, merely describing them). the live stuff is much more raw & sloppy, back when audiences quite disliked what they were having to listen to. alan vega is totally in his element therefore; harlem 2, sister ray says, & going to las vegas are all delightfully manic & unhinged, & all night long (which is really just dance with a different title) has alan really frustrated that he's pleading with someone to dance all night long with him, but it clearly isnt happening. to sum up: not for beginners, but man oh man if you loved the first couple albums, you will LOSE IT to hear this. epilogue: the aforementioned cassette that started this review eventually got eaten by my car's tape player, but before breaking, it would fitfully struggle through the tape heads, resulting in a stop & start painfully slow marching gruel of keyboard grunts & deep drawn out screams. almost as good as the real thing, i tells ya.

The greatest Suicide live CD with Zero Hour.......2002-05-04

The Suicide lives are so different than the albums and so great by themselves that I wonder why they don't put out more of them in CD. In this one, Harlem 2, Johnny Dance, Sister Ray Says, the 2nd All Night Long and, above all, Sweetheart are masterpieces. By the way, it would be the least for the greatest band ever to put out more live CDs.
When are we gonna see a few other ones issued, from the 70s, 80s, 90s...??!

Sacul Repooc.......2000-06-28

Suicide are as close to the real thing as it gets. I LOVE THIS CD. It makes all other electronic punk outfits look like B-movies. Marty Rev and Alan Vega invented a unique new genre and defined the parameters to which it could be extended. Every electronic band exists because of these joined-at-the-hip downtown NYC punk-rock scavangers. The ROIR cassette was great...the Cd even better with 3 bonus tracks from the same era and the original classic liner notes by Lester Bangs you can't go wrong.

One of rock n' roll's great secrets.......2006-05-20

X are the greatest band you never heard of. Their brand of rock n' roll is of the most brutal and primitive, yet humorous and cool, nature.

Even in their native Australia, they are unknown outside the inner sanctum of 30 and 40-something inner city hipsters in Sydney and Melbourne.

There is no US or British equivalent. They are that rare and special. A live X experience is absolutely unforgettable.

This live album is a departure from their norm - recorded at Sydney's premier jazz club rather than the usual sticky carpet pub. As a 25th birthday commemoration they added strings and violins etc. to their original four piece sound. Still they couldn't help themselves -the raw punk energy still howls through. Testament to the power of their songwriting is how outstandingly well they stand up to these re-workings.

Three members dead since their 1977 inception, this album is a triumphal testament to their brilliance. They're still unknown, yet the most legendary and seminal of Australian bands amongst those who know. There's no other way to say it.
