Rarely mentioned as one of the great double albums, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road had to settle for ending up in a few million record collections. So sprawling that it doesn't quite measure up to the earlier, more laid-back Honky Chateau or the later, pushy Rock of the Westies, this still holds claim to a lot of brilliant, very pop-savvy music: the winking rebellion of "Bennie and the Jets" and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," the ready-made nostalgia of "The Ballad of Danny Bailey," the downbeat melodicism of "Harmony." --Rickey Wright

The multi-talented Elton.......2007-07-17

Rightly this album is rated as the greatest album Elton John ever made. In fact its not my favourite but thats a different story.

The breadth of material on this is amazing. It opens with 'Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding' which is a stunning prog-rock overture followed seamlessly by a hard rock song. Remember before he became Elton John the young Reg Dwight auditioned for both King Crimson and Gentle Giant!
Following track 1 is the original and best version of Candle in the Wind. Sadly this tune has been overplayed... Bennie and the Jets is track 3. A great crowd pleaser (with artificial live feel on the track). This track was huge in the U.S. and it went to the top of the R&B charts. It also best displays Elton's Piano playing and has a completely unique feel to it.

The title track Goodbye Yellow Brick Road sounds like a standard that was written in the 40's or 50's. This is one of those songs that Elton will be remembered for in the decades to come.

On these opening tracks you can hear (but not see!) everything that made Elton such a huge star:
Primarily great song-writing, but also high quality musicianship - listen to Nigel Olsson's drumming or Davey Johnstone's guitar playing on this album.

With one exception the rest of the album maintains a similar high standard. Jamaica Jerk-Off is the one track I really don't like but there's 16 others so I'm not complaining!

Elton John in top form........2007-07-13

In 1973, Elton John released his first and only double-album, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". While he also made several other truly fantastic albums in that era, this one always stands out for me as being a completely flawless and true masterwork.

First off, the album opens with the epic "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" which easily ranks as one of my favorite songs of all time. The placement of the songs on this record make for smooth transitions between each song. There's never a track for me that makes me want to skip. Elton John is in top form here. While technically considered a "pop" album, it easily ranks next to such classic albums as Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", or Led Zeppelin's "Zoso". It's a mostly upbeat album, with a few mellower songs (Candle in the Wind, Sweet Painted Lady, I've Seen That Movie Too) and makes for a great album to bring along on a road trip.

It's not as compact and ragtime-ish as "Honkey Chateau", and not as personal as "Captain Fantastic", but it's downright fun the entire way through and will always stand as the pinnacle in Elton's career.

The Definetive Elton John album.......2007-06-21

If there was ever an album that defined the seventies, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" has got to be one of them. It is also the album that comes closest to being what Elton was about in his grandest. Extravagant, over-the-top, melodic and brash, this double album is probably how many from the period would describe both the album and the performer. As such, it redefined music and super stardom, and is a classic.

Stylistically, the 1973 version of Elton John and Bernie Taupin were now fearless. They were (to quote a line that eventually became part of "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy") turning them out thick and fast. There was the beautiful, melodic piano work on the title track and "Candle In The Wind," the hard rocking "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" and "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," the western looking "Social Disease" and the melodrama in "I've seen that movie too" and "Harmony." Seventeen near flawless songs over two albums, and that was following the breakthrough of "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player" and the number one "Crocodile Rock" from earlier that same year.

It wasn't just the seeming effortlessness to Elton and Bernie's prolific pace that was so attractive, it was the extravagance. Elton's reputation as a showman had already become the stuff of legend, and in the feverish time of the seventies, he allowed that into the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" artowrk. The original album was a thing of ornate beauty, a triple-fold gate sleeve that expanded out to show Elton stepping into a magic kingdom in ruby red platform shoes. The inner-sleeves were decorated with illustrations for each lyric and the band photos. It was everything you wanted in an album at the time...the full experience. Something you really don't get from too many performers these days. (And better reproduced in the Deluxe "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.")

As such, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is as good as gold. I know it is a cliche, but they just don't make 'em like this anymore.

Elton! Elton!.......2007-06-08

This is one of my favorite Elton John albums. I had it on vinyl when it first came out (was that yesterday?) and bought it recently as a CD because of technology.

Elton John rocks strong and even does some "lighter" music to give us all a golden nugget of an album !!!.......2007-06-03

Elton John has enriched us all with his incredible artistry. He remains a prolific writer and he sings with all his heart. This double LP album entitled Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, here on one CD, shows us just a glimpse of Elton's great artistry in rock, reggae and "lighter" music as well.

The CD starts with one of Elton's greatest masterpieces entitled "Funeral For A Friend (Love Lies Bleeding)." Elton's piano and the work of his band make a smashing musical intro to a song about a love gone bad. Elton displays his raw emotion on this track as he sings about how "love lies bleeding in (his) hands."

The CD track set remains incredibly strong with "Candle In The Wind" and "Bennie And The Jets." "Candle In The Wind" explores how people can be misunderstood and abused and it uses Marilyn Monroe as an example. "Candle In The Wind" also features Elton's piano playing to reflect the sensitivity of the song. In addition, "Bennie And The Jets" paints a portrait of a fictional female rock star and her band. The rock beat on "Bennie And The Jets" is strong, solid and awesome.

The title track actually comes fourth on the set: "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" allows Elton to sing of a supposedly beautiful and luxurious lifestyle that he realizes is not as special as he thought it would be. The use of the image of the yellow brick road to a better life from The Wizard Of Oz works well; and we see, just like Dorothy concluded, that there's no place like home.

If you REALLY want to hear Elton at his most versatile, listen to "This Song Has No Title." Elton plays farfisa organ, electric piano, mellotron AND piano!!! This number shines like pure gold and the mixing reflects excellent judgment. The melody of this song is wonderful.

On "Jamaica $erk-Off" Elton and the band turn out an excellent reggae tune that beckons to you to love it; Elton sings his praises for the island of Jamaica and Prince Rhino's "vocal interjections" rule!

Other gems on this CD include the stunningly beautiful "I've Seen That Movie Too;" for this song Elton sings of how he won't let himself be fooled by a woman who doesn't truly love him. The piano and percussion work wonders in the arrangement; and Del Newman's orchestral arrangement stuns you with its beauty. "Sweet Painted Lady" tells the story of a woman who "rents by the hour" as she "satisfies" the sailors in the port; Elton sings this with a type of sensitivity that I rarely experience. Del Newman once again gives "Sweet Painted Lady" a gorgeous orchestral arrangement. Excellent!!!

"All The Girls Love Alice" lets Elton sing about a young lady who enjoys pleasing some of the other girls in town; however the ending is most definitely glum. The musical arrangement shifts back and forth between a hard rockin' song and a type of love ballad with a much slower tempo and great key changes--and this impresses me greatly.

Of course, there's that Elton John classic number, "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting." This number showcases the youthful rebellion young people experience when they are starting their own lives separate from their parents. I can just envision all these young people marching and dancing through the streets chanting this anthem as they shake their fists in the air!

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. "Harmony," the last track on this CD, moves you with its sensitivity; and Elton delivers this with great panache. An excellent number to close the track set!

The liner notes feature an awesome essay by John Tobler; and you get all the lyrics and song credits. The beautiful art work enhances the liner notes as well.

Elton John is a living legend. Long after most "celebrities" are dead and forgotten, Elton John will remain in our hearts and minds because of his incredible music and his legendary performances. Thank goodness Elton has shared his work with us; and, if we're lucky, Elton will be performing for many more years to come.

It's a rare thing to find a band that counts the glockenspiel, autoharp, banjo, and flute as key instruments, especially when it's a rock band with just four members. Grizzly Bear use all the above instruments plus another dozen or so to make the 10 floating, gossamer, low-lit tunes that comprise Yellow House. They are rounded edges, off-kilter waltzes ("Lullabye," which teeters tipsily), laconic vignettes, and even a vintage 1930s waltz written by singer Edward Droste's great-aunt. The meshwork here is Grizzly Bear's smarts, a banjo lending fleeting rhythmic hints to a guitar-picked melody ("Reprise"), a haunted piano filling the sonic air with smoke. All four members sing duskily and softly, making a slow-going atmosphere that would delight the great composer Morton Feldman. The brilliance here is that every song mesmerizes, not with aural dominance but with an atmospheric magnetism. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description

"Magical, haunting melodies are Grizzly Bear's mainstay. A band that won't jilt you; they always craft their songs from start to finish--and meticulous instrumentation and arrangements are their specialty. On "Yellow House", Grizzly Bear still flexes its lo-fi connoisseurship, but with a better recording--still totally DIY, now embellished with fine sonic engineering."

Deserving the 5 stars.......2007-06-24

Most of the reviews for this record are right on. GB have an incredibly haunting, big sound, full of menace and beauty. These guys clearly aren't trying to recreate anything else. One of the most stunning releases by any band in a long, long time.

Yellow House.......2007-06-07

The old cliché about the parallel between sound and location pops up here in an endearing way: Yellow House was recorded in singer/guitarist Edward Droste's mother's house--yellow, of course--on the outskirts of Boston. The domicile's creakiness and mustiness permeates these uniformly lovely songs, giving them the homespun feel of something that's been sewn together in an old rocking chair. Grizzly Bear uses the full band at its disposal by gracefully piling instruments atop each other, and their solid group dynamic allows them to focus on ancillary yet important elements like mood and album flow. Some have griped that the production is too tinny for something this sweeping, but if it doesn't sound like a Sony cash cow, it does have the air of a time capsule, dug up and played on the Victrola for the first time in decades. It's the final magic touch on a thoroughly accomplished and enjoyable record.

Welcome Home.......2007-05-11

The lo-fi neo-psychedelia freak-folk of "Yellow House" is not so easily described. Hence the rather amorphous appellates "lo-fi" and "neo-psychedelia" and "freak-folk." Listening to the album (over and over again), a lot of descriptions came to mind...

The Beach Boys, minus the beach ("Knife").

A moon-powered TV on the Radio ("On A Neck, On A Spit").

A tamed-n-trained Animal Collective ("Easier").

Hot Chip on ice ("Little Brother").

If none of that makes any sense to you (and who can blame you?), let it be enough to say that Grizzly Bear's sophomore LP is as warm and silky as sudsy bathwater. The quartet utilizes banjos, laptops, and flutes (among other, more traditional instruments) to create something so atmospheric, so emotional, so good that at times it's just plain heart-wrenching.

Named after one of the band members' mother's home, where the album was recorded, the album is just as inviting as a return to the loamy roots of nostalgia. The apogee of cool soul sonics, "Yellow House" is big enough to live in, but as cozy as a warm embrace.

Perfect end to a perfect day ........2007-05-02

Do not listen to this album if your looking for something new, different, harmonic or simply put ~ beautiful. If you are though, my curious friend then may the gods be with you to absorb the melodic blows this album delivers.

Grizzly Bear like a few choice indy(ish) bands have there vocals down almost too perfectly. "Easier" kicks off the album as a bedtime story that leads to worlds unseen. You really get a feel of what the album will be like in this first song ~ harmony, simple drum placement, and sounds you hear only in cartoons way too early in the morning. All these make up whats to come ~ "Knife" shows up just in time to remind you that its the vocals that make Yellow House.

I was really into "Central and Remote" for a while because of the amazing breakdown in the second half of the song. The acoustic really wants the musician inside you to come out and play, its THAT inviting! "Plans" will seem like the band formed into one giant animal because each sound brought by the members mesh just too well ~ the whistling and again the harmony between the memebers is astounding. Really makes you think the direction music is headed after hearing an album like this.

"Reprise and Colorado" couldn't be placed in the albums list any better. Colorado is also the most simplistic sounding song on the album, with repeating lyrics and the constant sound of something swarming around you. Those two finishing songs finally behead the monster that is Grizzly Bear ( in a good way ) Don't worry it will grow back and hopefully later into another beast with similar traits that follows this album.

Each day, I spend it with you.......2007-04-18

Grizzly Bear have been around for awhile, but "Yellow House" is their first album as a complete, cohesive quartet band. And it's a stunning piece of work, layering together ethereal freakfolk and gentle rock'n'roll into an eerily earthy sound -- it's like listening to a folk band made up of ghosts.

It opens with a run-through of the instrumentation -- a flute smoothing out into a wobbly violin, and some tinny piano. After a moment of silence, the band slips into "Easier," with its folky banjo/guitar melody wrapped in gentle shimmering synth. And the lyrics hint at broken houses and broken loves: "I know, I know, the doors won't close/the pipes all froze/just let it go...let's recreate an easier time/because I still can't find you."

They follow it up with an earthier song, "Lullabye," which meanders uncertainly through mostly acoustic territory, but with the occasional synthy chime. The songs that follow are in this mold -- ghostly rockers and fizzly, windy ballads. Each one starts off simple and slow, but builds up into atmospheric and powerful pieces of work.

If you just hear a sample or skip through it, "Yellow House" sounds like your basic folk-rock album. Not much to listen to. But listen to some of the songs in their entirety, and the beauty of their music really starts to stick out -- it's sort of glitchy shimmery freakfolk psychedelica, with a bit of lo-fi indie-rock thrown in for good measure.

They have a dud every now and then -- the first halves of "On a Neck, On a Spit" and "Reprise" are too banjoey and straightforward to fit in. However, the rest of the time they craft their music exquisitely -- the instrumentation and vocals are layered together into hypnotic swirls, sometimes fading out to give it that ghostly sound.

The instrumentation itself is a beautiful blend of all sorts of instruments -- some straightforward guitar and restrained banjo, some echoing glockenspiel and a soft flute. And the entire album is shrouded in dark, unearthly synth from Chris Taylor, ranging from glitches to wavers, misty fuzz to a twittering sound like a moth's wings.

All four members contribute their vocals, and their intertwined, mournful voices are absolutely stunning. They could sing just about anything and make it sound pretty -- in fact, "Colorado" is mostly made up of mournful calls of the title word. The other songs usually have a few more lines than that, but are pared down to the core: "A folding chair/Sitting out by the wading pool, chlorine blue/Rush of wind passing over me/Restless nights/Chin up, cheer up/My love's another kind..."

Grizzly Bear craft a beautiful, delicate collection of freakfolky tunes with a psychedelic edge, an exquisite listen that takes a little while to sink in. "Yellow House" should be lived in.

To the horror of their most obsessive fans, the surviving Beatles have proven more than willing to tamper with their pop legacy, as witnessed by the various facets of their massive, occasionally myopic mid-1990s Anthology projects (and the suspect notion of its faux techno-marvel "reunions"). In boldly revamping the soundtrack to their 1968 Heinz Edelmann-designed animated fable Yellow Submarine, the Fabs have shown they're not immune to the irony of the age either: their original involvement in the project was both tentative and minimal. This new version completely excises Beatles-producer Sir George Martin's charming, if sometimes maudlin, orchestral score, offering instead a new "songtrack" containing all the Beatles songs (standout cuts from Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, in addition to the four originals unique to the project) featured in the film. The pre-announced "unreleased song" on the set turns out to be the original album's rollicking "Hey Bulldog", one of the last true Lennon-McCartney collaborations. "Hey Bulldog" was also the subject of both a previously excised sequence in the film and a newly edited in-studio video cobbled together from footage shot in early 1968 and previously used in vintage promos for "Lady Madonna". Though it may further upset purists, the band has allowed these tracks to be digitally remixed and remastered into 5.1 surround sound, imparting both a stunning clarity and a new perspective (as well as restoring a "missing" verse and the original six-minute plus playing time to "It's All Too Much") on some of the greatest--if obviously overexposed--songs and recordings in the history of rock. --Jerry McCulley

Worth it for the Sound and the Great Song Selection.......2007-07-01

Sure, this isn't the original Yellow Submarine, but it's a great collection of songs from the movie and from the era, and they sound better than ever. I agree that the George Martin songs should have been included, but most people who buy this CD already have the original YS so it's not crucial.
You get the great songs off Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and YS, sharper and clearer than I've ever heard them before. Well worth it for any Beatles fan.
And 'Hey Bulldog' is a fantastic bonus.

If you are wanting the Beatles songs (them singing) from the movie, this is the product to purchase. It is great. I have both this CD and the original movie soundtrack. I like them both for different reasons. But this one has made me a huge fan of "Hey Bulldog." I highly recommend it.

This CD will put you to sleep.......2007-02-26

We bought this CD for our daughter's wedding. After reviewing it, we could have saved our money. The version of Funiculi sounded like the Salvation Army band and it was totally lifeless. Lou Monte's Hey Gumbaree (it is actually Eh Cumpare in Italian--that should have given it away) was awful, and he consistently butchers the Italian language in all his other songs (annoying, I mean, couldn't he have learned the right pronunciation?).

While Perry Como and others have melodic voices (and very wisely sing in English because they don't know Italian), these are '50s versions of the songs, for the most part. While you have to appreciate them, they are really old and reflect the '50s type of instrumention and style. Would have loved to have heard all these songs done in a fresh and original way. Soldi Soldi was our favorite by far, and that is why we gave the CD two stars.

Could have gone to the library for this one.

Thanks for letting me voice our opinion. We are a big Italian family and just spent hundreds of dollars buying every CD out there for our daughter's wedding and figured we would share our opinion with others.

The most dashed-off of the Beatles' records, Yellow Submarine doesn't have much to it: the goofy title track and "All You Need Is Love" are reprised from earlier discs, George Martin's trifle of a score to the animated Submarine feature takes up the second half, and that leaves just four relatively insubstantial new tracks. The Beatles' throwaways are anyone else's classics, though: "Hey Bulldog," the last song Lennon and McCartney wrote in full collaboration, has the instinctive urgency of their best work, Paul's singalong "All Together Now" is awfully cute, and more than one band has dedicated its career to trying to replicate what George's guitars are doing on his dazed, pulsing "It's All Too Much." --Douglas Wolk

Okay, I must admit although I thought I knew what I was purchasing, I was disappointed at first with the CD in the reality that it didn't have all the songs from the movies. But after listening too it, I am glad I purchased it and have come to appreciate and enjoy the instrumentals. This is a George Martin project more than the Beatles....but that ain't bad.

The Rodney Dangerfield of Beatle albums .......2007-06-14

When one looks back at the Beatles 13 studio albums, "Yellow Submarine" (1969) is not the one people usually point out as their favorite. "Yellow Submarine" is sort of like the Rodney Dangerfield of Beatle albums in the sense that it doesn't get any respect. Thrown in with twelve classic albums though, the standards are pretty high. That said, even if "Yellow Submarine" isn't a masterpiece by the Beatles standards, it's still worth owning if you are a fan.

The first half of "Yellow Submarine" consists of six songs, two previously released and four new recordings. While the inclusion of the title track "Yellow Submarine" and "All you Need is Love" may be redundant for people who own "Revolver" (1966) and "Magical Mystery Tour" (1967) their presence really fits the flow and feel of the album and their inclusion works in the album's favor. "Only a Northern Song," written by George Harrison is spacey, psychedelic and thoroughly engrossing. It just sort of picks you up and takes you for a ride. "Only a Northern Song" was actually meant to be included on "Sgt. Pepper" and why it was left off makes no sense to me as I feel it stands as one of Harrison's finest compositions. McCartney's sing-along "All Together Now" is pretty lame, but still kind of fun. Lennon's "Hey Bulldog" kicks all kinds of ass and is one of the most rocking, ballsy, underrated songs he ever wrote in the Beatles. Another psychedelic Harrison composition, "It's All Too Much" is maybe a little more subdued that "Only a Northern Song" yet is as strong.

The remaining seven songs are quasi-classical instrumental pieces composed by Beatles producer George Martin. While I don't listen to the instrumental side of "Yellow Submarine" all that much, I still enjoy it. While Martin's compositions may not be great art, they are still pleasant and the music is tuneful and soothing.

I rate this album so low not because the music is mediocre, but rather because when "Abbey Road" and "Revolver" are the standard, the bar is set pretty high. Three of the new songs on this album, "Only a Northern Song," "Hey Bulldog" and "It's All Too Much" stand as some of the Beatles best music and I'd rate each of those five stars. And while Martin's instrumental side may not be brilliant, it's still memorable in its own right.

FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY.............2006-11-21

I'l be brief....Just go and get the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack" from 1999. A vastly better value and listening experience. It contains the band tracks from this CD plus lots of other tracks from the Fabs' psychedelic era. The tracks were superbly remixed and remastered at Abbey Road in 1998. These give the mind a glimpse of what the Beatles catalog might sound like remastered.

Alternative-country enthusiasts who've ventured into parenthood will want to climb aboard Justin Roberts's Yellow Bus, a tastefully twangy, boot-stomping affair also fit for musically with-it kids age 2 and up. Roberts, no showoff, delivers the 12 original songs here in a down-homey, deeply satisfying voice that'll set the uninitiated to scratching their heads over why he's not already famous. More than that, though, he proves himself a gifted guitarist and fearless songwriter: Yellow Bus's uniformly excellent selections explore the silly ("Willy Was a Whale," an alliterative ditty in which the title fish twies to be wuff and tough while walking on water all the way to Weno, Nevada), the spooky ("Thought It Was a Monster," a story surveying the potential origins of the kind of creepy noises that'll keep a kid up at night with a refrain--"Thought it was a monster / Thought it was a ghost / Thought it was my brother trying to freak me out"--representative of Roberts's delightfully straightforward songcraft), the hilarious ("Tickle My Toes," a gleefully pulse-raising plea for mercy from a tickle-mad mama), and even the profound ("Mama Is Sad," about a child's sympathy and generosity in turbulent times, in this case a divorce). Musically, the here gentle, there ferocious strumming gets support from occasional trumpet toots, mandolin, banjo, and a back-up chorus of completely natural-sounding kids. Roberts's sophomore outing--his first record was 1998's acclaimed Great Big Sun--is roundly impressive; the only problem with this yellow bus is that its wheels don't go round and round longer. --Tammy La Gorce

Mellow Tunes to Tame Your Toddler.......2007-05-13

We were fans of Justin Robert's "Meltdown" so we decided to try "Yellow Bus" and we weren't disappointed. While not as uniformly memorable as "Meltdown", "Yellow Bus" has its own charms and a few top-notch tunes, especially "In the Car" and the title song. A few of the songs are a little too improvisational in nature to keep our childrens'(3-year old and 5-year old) attentions. All in all, though, "Yellow Bus" is a fine addition to our musical library.

great for kids and adults.......2007-05-12

We love Justin Roberts - my husband even listens to it sometimes at work! I have to admit I enjoy even more his CD of songs from the Hebrew Scriptures (which Amazon doesn't sell, but you can buy through the artist's website) that's called "Why not sea monsters?"

Great CD.......2007-01-09

My 20 month old son really enjoys this CD its up beat and even enjoyable for adults to listen to.

Yellow bus.......2007-01-08

Great music for kids, and as an adult, I liked it too. He sounds a little like James Taylor. Love these CDs!

Great music for moms and kids together.......2007-01-03

We enjoy listening to Justin Roberts CD's in the car because his songs are such that grownups and kids alike will enjoy the music and want to sing along. Willie was a Whale - a song on this Yellow Bus CD has a video that young children may have seen on the TV Channel Noggin. We love all of the songs on this CD except for the Mommy's Sad song - it seems so out of place on this CD -we just skip it on the CD player.

THANK YOU.......2007-01-23

THis was a gift for my father and he was very impressed with the quality and speedy delivery. Thanks again!

The Original Made Even Better, Who Would Have Thunk it was Possible?.......2006-07-22

This is one of my favorite Donovan albums, with "Young Girl Blues," being right up there as one of my favorite Donovan songs, if not my favorite. It's a sad, weepy song that never fails to move me. "Writer in the Sun" is another song like that. One can only wonder if Donovan was thinking about bowing out of the music business, because of the problems he was having getting "Superman" and "Yellow" released in the UK. Seems those Pye guys just didn't want to let go of their number one moneymaker.

"Mellow Yellow" was a huge hit and how can you not like that song. "Sand and Foam" written, while Don was in Mexico, is absolutely beautiful. I just love this whole record, it was and is a masterpiece that laid the groundwork for some many rock and roll greats who followed. If you are into rock and roll, you've gotta have this as "Mellow Yellow" is one of those important rock records that will never die.

And then you add in the extra songs on this disc, "Superlungs" they way it was meant to be heard. The neat alternate version of "Writer in the Sun," "Epistle to Dippy," Donovan's letter in song to a lost friend and more. This is a super package. The originally "Mellow Yellow" made even better, who would've thunk it was possible?

Donovan becomes eclectic with fourth LP.......2006-06-17

Donovan's fourth album, originally released in 1967, was his second with producer Mickie Most and arranger John Cameron, and though it featured the flower-power light-psych title anthem, it also reached back past the previous "Sunshine Superman" LP to Donovan's folk and jazz roots. When released, its original ten tracks comprised Donovan's most eclectic collection to date, ranging from the solo folk tunes "Sand and Foam" and "Young Girl Blues," to the ornate arrangement of "Hampstead Incident," the bohemian jazz of "Bleak City Woman" and "The Observation," and the swinging, name-checking pop of "Sunny South Kensington."

Much of this material was written during a tumultuous period in 1966 that saw Donovan separating from (and then being sued by) his initial management team, embargoed from releasing new material in the UK, and unable to promote his work in the US. Melancholy, lethargy and the pain of personal and professional setbacks permeate the lyrics. The dispirited artist stoked his artistic muse in Greece and Mexico, and spent downtime preparing material with his producer and arranger. Once back in the studio the sessions produced sophisticated, eclectic material in short order.

EMI's reissue doubles the original ten tracks with bonuses that include the single sides "Epistle to Dippy" (in both it's original electric-guitar version and a violin-based alternative), the island-styled zen koan "There is a Mountain," a second run at "Superlungs" that prominently features brass and guitar, and a quartet of songwriter demos that demonstrate the integral nature of John Cameron's arrangements for the album. This is a superb helping of Donovan's mix of folk, jazz, blues, pop and light psych, remastered in its original mono, with stereo for bonus tracks 13 and 15-20. [©2006 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]

I thought EMI would've mixed these into first-time stereo...NO WAY.......2006-04-03

Along with the first Procol Harum LP, these 1967 Donovan recordings are the last mono or rechanneled albums issued. Three tracks from this and the Mellow Yellow original LPs (Sunshine Superman, Season Of The Witch and Sunny South Kensington) have been mixed into stereo. Strangely, only Sunshine Superman is in stereo here....the other two are mono!

I'm very disappointed that they did NOT remixe Writer In The Sun, San And Foam, The Observation, Bleak City Woman, House Of Jansch, Young Girl Blues, Museum, or Hampstead Incident into stereo.

To my ears, these tracks sound no better than the US Epic original CDs.

Sublime, the ultimate version of this classic.......2006-01-29

In a review of an import version of "Mellow Yellow" a year or so ago I wished for a proper remastering with bonus tracks to be released; this has finally happened and so here is the updated review, which is nothing but superlative. "Mellow Yellow" followed up on the quality of the previous masterpiece "Sunshine Superman" and is nearly its equal; although the Indian influence is mostly absent (save for the closing "Sunny South Kensington", which turns out to have been from the "Sunshine" sessions"), the sophisticated jazz/folk/classical arrangements are just as exquisite and particularly noteworthy tracks include the title cut, "Young Girl Blues", "Sand And Foam", "Hampstead Incident" and "Writer In The Sun". The sound quality, as on "Sunshine Superman", is now rich and full, and the bonus cuts fit perfectly with the tone of the album; of particular interest is the jazzy version of "Superlungs" and the alternate "Epistle To Dippy", both of which should have made the album in place of say, "Bleak City Woman". But now you get all the tracks, and can program them in any way you please; the liner notes are informative and this is now the definitive version of the album, one that has stood the test of time very well; Donovan's vocals here are especially resonant and beautiful.

The Neville Brothers are a New Orleans institution. Their voices glide freely and harmonize into a rich texture. For Yellow Moon, they enlisted the help of producer Daniel Lanois to meld their voices and rhythms with his swampy dreamscapes. The percussion is subtle, the guitars melt into the background, and the voices puncture the placid night sky, as if providing the soundtrack to an old western. Two protest-era Dylan songs ("With God on Our Side" and "The Ballad of Hollis Brown") are recast as modern anthems for spiritual reconciliation. The Sam Cooke classic "A Change is Gonna Come" remains an envied promise, while the original material (the title track; "Sister Rosa," about Rosa Parks) is among their finest. Not a return to form, but rather a welcome break from tradition. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews:

Anything by the Neville Bros..........2006-06-25

I'm reviewing this CD, but ANYTHING by the Neville Brothers is worth a try. This band defies description - how do you categorize a band that can do just about anything and really can't be pigeonholed. Not a bad song on this CD and the song Yellow Moon is a pure work of art. A real magical, funky, soulful Bayou song. Absolutely love it and I can listen to these guys anytime.

Great CD!.......2005-09-26

You know when you buy CD and then get tired of it in a couple of months? THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE CDS

Enraptured By The Divine Aaron.......2005-08-10

The Neville Brothers have yet to make the album I hunger for. 'Yellow Moon' is close: one of Dan Lanois' finest efforts. And it provides the template, the benchmark for my appetite. But it's a compilation entitled,'The Neville Brothers' from the Master series on Polygram from 1996, that strikes even closer. Doesn't seem to list on Amazon! Perhaps it's the selection, pulling from their most commercially productive, accessible collections, the very finest work. It's not that these albums, in themselves, lack judicious selection. The playing is uniformly excellent, the range and degree of accomplishment in various genres is impressive. Possibly the brothers collective gifts are too sprawling to capture my 'perfect' Nevilles. I have to admit that its Aaron's voice that cuts the band from the ruck of other groups purveying the New Orleans sound. It's always been his divine register that elevated the most mundane texts to the quality of hymns. 'Fearless','Will The Circle Be Unbroken',the Dylan and Cohen covers, are rendered here in ways their authors wouldn't even have prayed for. And supremely, there is Sam Cooke's and my own anthem,'Change Is Gonna Come'. Until Aaaron, only Richard Manuel's take on,'Rock n' Roll Joint' could bring me to the verge of tears. Of course, one could pursue the solo Aaron outings. For me, this has fallen into another syndrome: too much saccharine song selection. In lieu of that elusive Neville's album, for which time is rapidly diminishing, this compilation is as good as it gets.

Jump up and down now.......2005-01-25

This is a typically fine album by these New Orleans legends. It contains a good mix of originals and cover songs. Several of the songs are "message" songs, inluding great covers of Sam Cooke and Bob Dylan songs. Another great cover is the Carter Family's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken". This is an all-around solid album, and fans of the Brothers should enjoy it.

A Delicious New Orleans Gumbo.......2004-12-08

I had the pleasure to get up close and person with Aaron Neville when he sang for us at a New Orleans Navy base. Believe me it's overwhelming! This beautiful, angelic voice comes from a very BIG, muscular man. The Neville brothers have always been one of my favorite groups. This is one talented family. I got this CD recently when I heard it being played at a Barnes & Noble store. I could hardly keep my feel still when I heard "Yellow Moon," and bought the CD immediately. Terrific harmony, vocals and music that are an absolute joy. I only have one problem...I can't play it when I'm driving! I just get too caught up in it when I hear "Yellow Moon," because my feet want to go. Each selection has New Orleans spice, like a delicious gumbo.

Bought this for one song - In Christ Alone - but they are all great! Would recommend this CD!

good variety of music.......2005-04-05

I love these two cds and believe anyone of any age would enjoy them. They are terrific contemporary worship songs that point our minds to God. My favorite songs are "All in all" by nichole nordeman, "In Christ alone" by geoff moore and Adreinne Liesching, and "Your Love, O Lord" by Third day. There were a couple songs I didn't really care for like Out of Eden's version of "Every Move I Make", "Let Everything That Has Breath" performed by Matt Redman (I like the original version done by Cademan's Call on the City on a Hill cd much better.), and "The Happy Song" by by Delirious. They are not horrible songs though. All the songs sounded up to date, no 80's sounding stuff. If you are looking for great pop worship songs that aren't too loud but not too quiet and boring either, then this is the cd for you.

WOW WORSHIP: YELLOW.......2005-01-22

I love every song on this CD. The songs are uplifting and familiar. This is one CD you can play over and over again.

The WOW albums are great because . . . . . . . . . . .......2005-01-19

What makes these compilations so great is that the songs ARE NOT always performed by the original artist or songwriter. The reason this is so special is because you get to hear other artists take on a song that makes it almost it's own new song. An example of this would be ZOE Girl's version of "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul" from WOW Red. The song by itself is great, but then ZOE Girl's version adds tons of power and depth. Another great thing about the WOW series is that when the original artist does perform, they may do a modified version of the song that you cannot get anywhere else. An example of this is "Draw Me Close " from the Katinas on WOW Yellow or Chris Tomlin & Steven Curtis Chapman doing " We Fall Down" from WOW Red. I love hearing different artists sing the same praise songs because they bring a different flavor and vibe to the song. The WOW series are worth every penny and THE BEST praise & worship music around!

Awesome.......2005-01-19

These two Cd's are wonderful. You can feel the Holy Spirit in each song, it brought me to tears. I felt the presence of the Lord. It is amazing the dedication of these brothers and sisters in Christ how they devote there vocals to God. I recommed this Album to everyone.

Unlike some CDs spawned from TV shows, there's not a lot to recommend SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Album to listeners who don't set their clocks by the Nick cartoon. But in a culture as Sponge-ified as ours has become in the six years the series has been airing, does it really matter? The resounding, Squidward-sanctifying answer is No. Songs like "Bubble Beat Box" and "Jelly Fish Jam" have their limitations, sure--for one thing, they seem to last a split second, vamoosing before a 9-year-old can really get her groove going. And it's not as though our rectangular friend was able to recruit a lineup of animation-loving rock legends to re-ripen his appeal the way he did on 2004's heavy-hitting SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack. But as fans who invest great gobs of time studying the porous pineapple dweller know, the opportunity to play tracks like the "Campfire Song Song" and "Ripped Pants" into perpetuity is one that can't be passed up. Plus, there's some decent music here: "When Worlds Collide" shuffles along to a pleasing hip-hop beat, and for parents, the unsparing, absurdist "You're Old" plays like a laugh-serum-laced poison dart. Those songs alone make shelling out the allowance worth it. --Tammy La Gorce

In a world were kids songs drive a kids wild and parents crazy it was a God sent to find the Spongebob Squarepants The Yellow Album. The kids love listening to the funny songs. They also love being able to remember the episode that corresponds with the song. I love it because the songs are funny, have a good tune, and don't sound like so many sappy kids CDs that are out on the market right now. We listened to the CD almost non stop during a 5 hour road trip. I have to tell ya, I didn't want to kill myself when we got to our destination.

If you've ever enjoyed a Spongebob episode, you're sure to love this album. It contains all the songs that are heard in the show (up to when the CD was released). If you have kids who are fans, this album is a must. My kids can't get enough Spongebob, so when there are no shows on at the time, they will listen to music and be satisfied (two of my 3 kids have their own discman so they can take their music EVERYWHERE). I would also recommend the "Spongebob Squarepants Movie" soundtrack.
