Gorgeous music, bad quality cd........2007-04-13

The music is Mozart's and is fantastic. The last piece on the first disc
stutters halfway through, and seizes up my system. I don't have time to return items to Amazon. On the positive side, most of the time Amazon provides quality products and service. I gave 3 stars because I love the music.

Great music, low quality reproduction.......2007-01-30

this is a great collection of his work... the only problem i have found so far is that my copy has irritating "clicks" over the recording.

A nice introduction.......2006-02-22

This is a good well rounded collection to dip you into the classical world of Mozart.

Mozart is the reference point for good classical music........2005-10-20

A good collection of his best work and I find it helps me focus when I'm writing or contempating life.

"We exposed these animals [rats] in utero and then sixty days after birth to different types of auditory stimulation and then we ran them in a spatial maze. And sure enough, the animals that were exposed to the Mozart completed the maze faster and with fewer errors. And now what we're doing is we're removing their brains so we can slice them and see neuro-anatomically precisely what has changed as a function of this exposure. So it may be that this intense exposure to the music is a type of enrichment that has similar effects on the spatial areas of the hippocampus of the brain." --Dr. Frances Rauscher

Dr. Frances Rausher sums up what I feel happening when I expose myself to this incredible composer (Mozart).

I have yet to grow tired of any of the tracks yet, but I will invest in more of his work soon.

Mozart's music.......2005-10-17

This is a review of Mozart's music, not the cd. Mozart is praised to the skies by all and sundry, including most musicians, including my father, who no doubt has his reasons. But my feeling about Mozart has always been that there is nothing in Mozart's music that is other than music. There is no logical impressionism, there are no events that seem to be transpiring as in, for example, Beethoven. Mozart is just music. Mozart is to music as pure mathematics is to science. It hints of nothing else and has no application. I find some of his music irritatingly trivial, for example, Eine Kleine Nachtmuzic. This is mechanical music that one can imagine being piped in by a totalitarian government that insists everyone be cheerful. If Disneyland was an eighteenth century totalitarian state, Mozart would be its Muzak. The populace would be awakened, like Chinese train passengers, at 6AM by the strains of some allegro. They would arise and busy themselves with their ablutions in a state of thoughtless cheer, never for one moment leaving the surface of things. That being said, the second movement of Mozart's clarinette concerto is the music that one will hear on going into heaven.

Until his untimely death, Jim Croce was a force to be reckoned with on radio playlists. Photographs & Memories repackages some of his best work. Romantic acoustic-oriented songs were his hallmark, and songs like "Time in a Bottle," were huge hits because of their easy sentimentality. "I Got a Name" was the singer as well-worn folk traveler, while "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and even "You Don't Mess Around with Jim" followed standard boogie chord progressions, albeit with Croce's softer rock feel. There wasn't much really separating the overt emotions of "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" and "Operator" from his sap-dripping contemporaries, but there was just enough of an edge in Croce's warm voice to elevate his love songs to another level. Like a, oh, moderately priced wine, Croce remains a classic--accessible, affordable, and easy to enjoy. -- Steve Gdula

Customer Reviews:

Croce's best.......2007-01-12

This CD has all of what I consider to be Croce's best known songs on it and is really worth buying. The sound quiality is great and if you're a Croce fan or just want to check him out, this is the CD to buy. The only bad thing is that he's not around to put out more great tunes like those on this CD.

A man lost in time........2006-05-10

Right after he died, he was everywhere on the radio. Since then he have disappear from the musical face of the earth. "Time in a Bottle", "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown","Don't Mess around with Jim" and "I got a name" are just the tip of this musical iceberg. His songs range from the touching "Photograph and Memories" to the fun hearthed "Car Wash Blues" and "Roller Derby Queen".

This album hits everything that you need from one of the Great Singer/Songwriter of the 70s. There are a lot of imposters out there, this is really the top of the chart and the only Croce ablum you need. The tragic is that his career was cut so short by his untimely death.

You Don't Mess Around With Jim.......2006-05-09

As with any greatest hits album you get someone else's idea of greatest hits. Yet if you only intend to buy one Jim Croce album you can not go wrong with this one. At least it has my favorites. In case you have not heard Jim before, the album is a mixture of fast and slow paced songs; yet all of them have his signature voice and style. These are his later recordings and were released just before he was killed in a plane crash. You may also want to pick up am album of his earlier recordings to see how he progresses through the years.

I wouldn't listen to the fact that he was genius.......2006-01-29

I'm probably like most guys who weren't around when Croce made his music. I know a handful of hits and thought the rest of this would be pleasant but bland folkish pop. (The disc is actually my wife's.) Once I found the time to sample this, I was pleasantly surprised for the most part. Croce seems able to both write convincing uptempo pop-rockers as well as melancholy balladry with an eye for the telling detail that marks the best lyricists.

HIGHLIGHTS:
"Bad,Bad Leroy Brown" was a man 'meaner than a junkyard dog' who meets his comeuppance when he dallies with the wrong man's wife. "Operator" is told stream of consciousness style..Croce trying to call and make amends with the woman who ran off with his best friend and faltering again and again ("Operator/oh could you help me place this call/'cause i can't read the number that you just gave me/There's something in my eyes/You know it happens every time/I think about the love that I thought would save me..") "Rapid Roy" combines Croce's musical attempt at an acoustic rendering of the classic Chuck Berry riff with a character study of an ex moonshine runner turned racer. Croce's wit is apparent here. ("He got a tattoo on his arm that says "Baby"/He got another one that just say "Hey") "Time in a Bottle" is a transcendent expression of love that deserves every bit of the airplay it gets. Anyone who argues this is "sappy" is devoid of heart. "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues" is rapid fire wordplay with a fantastic opening line. ("Well, i had just got out from the county prison/Doin' 90 days for non-support..") It's a shaggy dog tale of a man trying to pick up the pieces at a thankless job. "I Got a Name" is a classic plea for recoginition of self-worth amid the sea of people that is our world. "You Don't Mess Around with Jim" is another catchy tale of a tough guy being done in. Despite repeating the theme of "Leroy Brown" more or less, it's still a keeper. "Lover's Cross" is Croce's refusal to become a martyr for the sake of a woman.

LOWS:
"These Dreams" is a great lyric about breaking up ("Once we were lovers/But that was long ago/We lived together then/And now we do not even say hello..") but the melody comes off like an attempt to re-write "Time in a Bottle". "Roller Derby Queen" suffers from the same fate, sounding like a carbon copy of "You Don't Mess Around with Jim" musically. The lyric's also not terribly memorable.

BOTTOM LINE:
I've underestimated Croce. "Rapid Roy" and "Lover's Cross" are likely to become favourites of mine with more play, and I already knew I loved the "radio stuff" (Operator,You Don't Mess Around with Jim,Bad Bad Leroy Brown, Time in a Bottle) A nice collection from an underrated singer-songwriter.

Super Singer/Songwriter!.......2005-12-24

When Billy Joel wrote "Only the Good Die Young" Jim Croce could have easily made the list of the greats called back to God's house in the prime of their careers. Photographs and Memories Jim Croce's Greatest Hits is still to this date a big seller. This was his first Hit's CD. Jim was just scratching the surface of being a star. By producing 8 top 40 hits and released 3 #1 albums in a 2 year span, TV appearances, radio talk shows and a cartoon version of Bad Bad Leroy Brown (which can be seen on his DVD "Have You Heard Jim Croce Live" a very likeable artist. Could you imagine what this guy could have done if his career was able to continue? Great collection of hits.

Paul Davis ~ Sweet Life - His Greatest Hit Singles.......2007-06-02

Sweet Life, '65 Love Affair were simply outstanding songs, I give them 5+ stars. This man definitely had talent and put out some good music in the 80's. Overall, four stars for this collection!

Cool Songs!.......2007-02-14

Hi...I bought this CD for my favorite song of all time...Cool Night. I've only heard this song once or twice on the radio in my lifetime...What a damn shame its one of the best songs ever & because Paul Davis is an outstanding singer who seems to have been forgotten (except for the few of us who really appreciate good music).

I also loved I go Crazy which I'm very familiar with & is my second most favorite song of his.

Paul Davis; Sweet Life: This CD Is Fantastic!.......2006-10-26

Ya know......Some three years ago or so; I decided to start using the internet (namely Amazon) to find and purchase old music I had previously owned and I not only have been doing that but I have also been finding and purchasing some old music that I unfortunately missed the first time around and one of those artists is Paul Davis. What is so neat though is that it was like I had owned this CD all along because I remember every song. These songs are 70s and 80s memories at their very best. This guy is a class act. From the first track to his duet with Marie Osmond (which is the last track); this Disc is definitely Sweet. His covers of the Beach Boys classic, Darlin, (featuring Susan Collins) and, Love Or Let Me Be Lonely, are excellent. The Friends Of Distinction version of, Love Or Let Me Be Lonely, which charted some twelve to thirteen years earlier (around 69-70) is even better; but barely. What songs are my favorites on this CD?.....Ah Man.....That would have to go to, Cool Night, I Go Crazy, and Sweet Life. Thanks Amazon. I highly recommend this Disc. My opinion of it is.....Wow!.....Bom! Bom! Bom! Bom!.....LOL!
Final Note: Once you hear, Love Or Let Me Be Lonely, you will know where the Bom! Bom! Bom! Bom! Comes from. .....LOL Again!.....Great Tune and this CD is a Winner.

Paul Davis.......2006-08-24

I didn't realize so much of it was country. Get past his hits and it was minly C&W.

Good Music.......2006-07-23

I myself like all the songs on this CD. I think they sound as ggod as they did on my vinyl records. Ride 'Em Cowboy brings back a lot of memories. Cool Nights is a very good mellow song that reminds me of a late June evening under the stars with the one you love. Love Or let Me Be Lonely and '65 Love Affair are my favotite songs of Paul Davis. Sweet Life also brings back a lot of good memories.
A very good CD for all music lovers.
If you do not like the music here then please do not waste your time writing bad things about Paul Davis and his music, PLEASE!!!

This is a very good product.I liked it so much I ordered a second one for a friend of mine.

Gospel music at its best.......2007-05-13

I have never heard the Lord's praises sung more beautifully. Highly recommended collection. The live version of "How Great Thou Art" from 'Elvis In Concert' is a powerful take on the recorded version.

I was singing bass, but he covered me up. He wiped me out........2007-01-26

Did you know that Elvis Presley's four Grammy nominations (and two wins) for "Best Sacred or Inspirational Performance" were his ONLY Grammy nominations? Yes, it's true. Elvis' gospel recordings are among his most heartfelt performances. This two CD collection features all the songs from the Peace in the Valley EP, the His Hand in Mind LP, the How Great Thou Art LP, the He Touched Me album and most of his other gospel recordings; including a previously unreleased jam session between Elvis and the Stamps, which was filmed for the documentary Elvis On Tour. Great stuff, but I would recommend getting the three CD collection called Peace in the Valley: The Complete Gospel Recordings. That collection has everything from this collection, plus: the gospel songs from the Million Dollar Quartet jam session, several home recordings, four songs from Elvis movies, "Peace in the Valley" live on the Ed Sullivan Show, "Who Am I?", "Life", "I Got a Feelin' in My Body", two songs from Las Vegas rehearsals, the live version of "Help Me", the "Gospel Medley" from the 1968 Comeback Special, an off-the-cuff performance of "The Lord's Prayer" and the live version of "How Great Thou Art" from the Elvis in Concert television special. Whew! But if you don't want those songs, this collection will be good enough for you.

AMAZING GRACE: ELVIS SACRED PERFORMANCES.......2007-01-09

I loved all of Elvis's music; however, this is the most moving music I HAVE EVER HEARD. When he sings How Great Thou Art -- there isn't any artist that could come close to performing the song as he does. He is magnificient.

Amazing Grace.......2007-01-05

I didn't know whether I'd like "religious music" by Elvis, I'd only heard his movie tunes & of course the songs we all know - Hound Dog, etc. I bought this while persuing my personal religious journey, I like Elvis, figured this would be okay to get inspired with. Whoah!!! Elvis usually takes a song makes it his own, sometimes you don't recognize it. He doesn't do that with sacred music. What he does do is enter the Kingdom through song. He sings with intensity, longing & you do not doubt his own religious conviction. I especially love the gospel tunes of his southern upbringing. My favorite songs are Milky White Way & Lead Me, Guide Me. This is a lot of music on 2 cd's, well worth the money.

Engelbert Humperdinck, who at the circa 1968 height of his career shared a manager with fellow hunk Tom Jones, has never enjoyed the campy appreciation that has come to Jones in recent years--mostly because he's way too earnest compared to the teasingly all-man singer of "What's New Pussycat" and "She's a Lady." Humperdinck certainly deserves a place on some space-age bachelor's mix tape with the quietly ebullient "Quando Quando Quando," the quietly invitational "Winter World of Love," and the quietly fatalistic "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize"--maybe yours. Or at least your dad's. --Rickey Wright

Great album!!.......2007-04-28

I actually ordered this with with another item, this album has reach me, but the other item is still waiting for stock i presume..

Anyway, i am always a fan of oldies, but, i oftenest prefer compilation albums with various artist rather than a single artist.

But this album is an exception, it has all the songs that we all know.., such as "Release Me", "Quando, Quando, Quando".., "Am I That Easy To Forget ", "A Man Without Love", "There Goes My Everything", and my most favourite "The Last Waltz"..

The sound quality is awesome, it's an original recording remastered.., based on the info, it was first released back at the year of 1974, a good work for remastered this one.

Get one today for your oldies collection!

His Of His Prime In One Collection.......2006-07-25

This CD is a re-issue of an album originally released on the Parrot label in the US in the early 70's and contains most of Engelbert's Top 40 hits and more memorable album cuts. Licensing conflicts between record companies lead to the exclusion of some early 70's material that was (like this album) originally issued on the Parrot label but overall this one disc set captures about 85 percent of Engelbert's most memorable hit material. This set does pre date 1976's "After The Lovin" album and single so that material is not included. Among the radio hits featured are Top 20 staples like "A Man Without Love", "Am I That Easy To Forget", "Winter World Of Love", and of course his break out hit "Release Me". For the casual fan or the budget conscious this is a good set.

The knight of the crooners!.......2005-11-01

Engelbert Humperdinck `s name has remained for almost five decades in the great musical stages. In Spain there is a term that fits so well to describe his magnetism: Duende.

He shone with radiant intensity in the Age of the great crooners, the most difficult, indeed: Frankie, Tony Bennet, Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Matt Monroe, Bobby Vinton, Booby Goldsboro, Glenn Campbell, O.C. Smith, Otis Reading, Pat Boone, Kenny Rogers, Paul Anka and Neil Diamond (from time to time) among the most remarkable ones.

His peculiar style has deserved him the best acknowledgments all over the world. His multifacetic repertoire and elegant voice confers him presence and conviction every time he appears on stage.

Screw Barry Manilow--it was Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds who really wrote the songs the whole world sings. From the late '80s to the mid-'90s, no single artist owned the R&B and pop charts with a tighter or more fluid grip than Babyface (and his then partners L.A. Reid and Darryl Simmons), and this Greatest Hits collection is proof of this singer-songwriter/producer's way with romance and rhythm. The catch is that this CD contains only the smashes Face kept for himself: a definitive collection of the songs he handed to others would constitute a box set. This CD covers his solo efforts, from the tangy "Whip Appeal" to the aching "Every Time I Close My Eyes" and the understated "When Will I See You" (arguably the first R&B acoustic power ballad). With two new cuts and a live version of the Grammy-winning "Change the World," these 14 tracks sum up an era in R&B when wearing one's heart on one's sleeve and reaching for the most nuanced of melodies was an act of creative revolution. Sure, some called his act corny, but, as this CD proves, Babyface made minor classics that sound just as gentle and persuasive today as they did back then. --Amy Linden

Babyface - Greatest Hits.......2007-03-09

If you like Babyface -- this is a must. All the hits on one C.D. No need to look through your C.D. collection to find that special Babyface song. Betcha ten to one, that song is on this C.D.

YO FACE.......2007-01-10

This brought me back to high school.
Loved it. Was nice to hear a live song of his.

goooood music.......2007-01-09

still gives me the mushy feelings i got when i heard these songs growing up.

Love this CD.......2007-01-09

I have always loved Babyface and have some of his earlier cassette tapes...I think I just aged myself. Anyway I was pleased to see that I could get almost all of my favorites on one very excellent CD. I listen to this CD on a weekly basis, sometimes daily if I'm having a difficult week at work. It has just the right music to help me get through the work day and calms me down for the drive home. Heck, I even listen to it on the weekends while I'm cleaning or relaxing. I highly recommend purchasing this CD if you love Babyface

Ray Stevens - Greatest Comic Hits.......2005-08-11

I enjoyed this CD very much. Ray is a very funny fellow.
I have also seen and enjoyed his video of the same name.

Ray's first for CURB.......2003-02-05

this was the first CD that was released on Ray from CURB Records, the label he joined after he left MCA after five huge years (1984-1989). this CD spotlights 10 comedy songs with the album cover shot looking like a promo for one of the songs, "It's Me Again, Margaret". all in all, this CD went GOLD primarily because of the last track: "Bridget the Midget", a 1970 satire on go-go dancers that hit #50 pop and #2 in England. in the CD age, "Bridget the Midget" was new to collector's. for fans who joined the Ray Stevens bandwagon in 1984 at the height of "Mississippi Squirrel", hearing older songs were a rare treat. this is the CD in which introduced me to "Bridget..." and it made me hunger for more of his older songs because the way i saw it, if a song of his is this great and i've never heard of it talked about before, i wonder how many OTHER great songs are hidden on his albums that critics or reporters don't talk about? i played my hunch and as of 2/5/03 i have everything he's recorded since 1967 on vinyl or cassette format.this 1990 CD is only necessary for new fans. CURB shrewdly compiled six comedy songs off 1987's "GREATEST HITS", added three from 1987's "GREATEST HITS, VOL. TWO", and they end it with 1970's "Bridget the Midget" not found on any CD compilation at the time as an added feature. prior to it's arrival on CD format, you had to go all the way back to a 1977 vinyl compilation entitled "THE MANY SIDES OF RAY STEVENS" to even find "Bridget the Midget" on an album! the song was THAT rare! since 1990, other CD's on Ray have greatly dwarfed this CD's importance but it's still worth checking out for those who want to complete your collection.

ray stevens is a great comedian and in is songs you can picture what he's talking about. Plus there really funny and great to listen to

I wish this guy's name wasn't Percy........2007-03-25

If you are an early baby boomer like me and like movie themes and other more conservative music from the 50's and 60's (and think that most of today's music is c__p), you probably will appreciate this CD. Actually, I was surprised at the number of great songs, many of which I had long forgotten, that are on this set of recordings. Still, I am sorry to say that it was difficult for me to buy a CD of songs from a guy named Percy.

Percy Faith's Greatest Hits.......2007-03-08

I purchased this CD as a gift for my husband. His favorite song is "The Theme from Moulin Rouge". All of the songs on the CD are good and bring back alot of memories. If you are a baby boomer you will definitely enjoy this!

Reaching for the stars.......2006-09-18

What can you say? Percy Faith's "Theme From A Summer Place" sends you into orbit if you have any concept at all of those halcyon days of the late 50s-aearly 60's.

Even if you don't like it, you have to admit it's soothing & almost edifying, especially in today's morass of worldy troubles.

Theme For A Summer Place.......2006-08-13

During the late 1960's here in Houston when I was a little boy, one of the network television affiliates used PERCY FAITH's fantastic "THEME FROM A SUMMER PLACE" as their music theme for their afternoon matinee movies[reruns] which featured many of Hollywood's classic movies in glorious Black & White from the era of the 1930's, 1940's and into the 1950's - the Golden Age of Hollywood Films. I got to see some of the greatest classic films of all time and many remain personal favorites to this day, and especially the sound of "THEME FROM A SUMMER PLACE", which was played relentlessly during commercial breaks and has become such a great memory. Those were the days indeed: Mae West; The Marx Brothers; Laurel & Hardy; Gregory Peck; Judy Garland; Original WWII Era movies and much more, which I actually got to see long after their heydays, but, better late than never! It took me years to figure out what orchestra played on this dynamic recording, but, eventually, I discovered Percy Faith, and what a grand artist he was - God Bless Him. Everytime I hear this wonderful theme song, it takes me back to those long gone, but not forgotten, Saturday or Sunday mid-afternoon TV Movie matinees from my childhood. This collection includes many other memorable and golden treasure recordings from Percy Faith and His Orchestra.

Everyone should appreciate Percy Faith.......2006-03-27

This cd is wonderful. It provides the warmth of the music performed at the time it was created. I enjoy it tremendously.

Essential for any HIM fan.......2007-06-08

I absolutely fell in love with HIM last fall when my friend "introduced" the music to me. It took a few weeks, but by now they are my favorite band by far. I can't get enough of the songs on this compilation. The newest cover, "Solitary Man" adds everything that Neil Diamond didn't do when it was originally written; I even let me parents listen to the cover and they think that its great.

I have recommended this compilation to all of my friends, and several of them have either started listening to HIM little by little thereafter or have simply fallen in love with the band. I could not have been happier with this compilation and am looking forward to the rest of HIM's career as well as the July release of Venus Doom.

When Love and Cheese Embrace.......2007-05-16

This three year-old European compilation was just released in the States, and it provides a handy overview of HIM's homegrown Scandinavian love metal, which can be of interest to rock fans on the prowl for new sounds but who don't feel like diving into the proper albums. However, this collection of singles washes out the already miniscule creativity and excitement of the proper HIM albums. Ville Valo's goth romance is surely unique, but the band's musical backdrop rarely rises above slick and professional 80s arena metal. Nobody in the band except Valo makes an impression on the listener, and the performances are so polished and overproduced that no real advancement or growth can be detected in this collection, even though the tracks were recorded over a period of seven years and four studio albums. Bland riffs and uninspired rhythms are often unsuccessfully spruced up with annoying piano or keyboard squiggles, as in "Join Me in Death," "Heartache Every Moment," and "When Love and Death Embrace," and weak guitar solos almost always mimic the vocal melodies from the verses. Even worse, the band's awful ballads such as "Gone with the Sin" and "Close to the Flame" would induce the gag reflexes of even the most jaded hair metal swooners. This is all a shame because the band really can rock out when they feel like it, as in "Buried Alive by Love," "Right Here in My Arms," and their best-ever track "Your Sweet Six Six Six," indicating that the proper HIM albums should be explored for true love metal treasures. Granted, HIM are of interest due to the distinct outlook and intriguing personality of Ville Valo, but this collection does little to enhance the band's unimpressive chops. [~doomsdayer520~]
