Hall and Oates often enlivened '70s and '80s radio with sharp pop concoctions that drew on a wellspring of R&B influences picked up in their hometown of Philadelphia. They scored frequently enough, in fact, that this 20-track collection--intended to supplement or replace the earlier Rock 'n Soul, Part 1 with post-'83 winners--doesn't capture all their finest moments. (Where, for instance, are "She's Gone," recorded for another label but licensed by RCA for Rock 'n' Soul, and the terrific new wave/funk fusion "Your Imagination"?) Still, much of what's here is fine music that should appeal not only to those who carry fond memories of radio and MTV playing it the first time around, but also to a good-sized handful of their kids. --Rickey Wright

Crappy sound =(.......2007-03-08

I bought 2 copies of this same CD. Both of them, while providing the Hall & Oates songs that I love, gave me no real enjoyment because for some reason the sound is very empty. I've heard mp3s that sound better than this. What happened??

Very good.......2007-01-12

This CD has a lot of the songs I remember from the '80s. It's a good collection of Hall & Oates songs.

CD Review.......2007-01-04

I loved this album because It reminds me of my high schol dances. It was all I thought it would be when I ordered it.

Super.......2006-08-24

Great job, very fast with zero complaints. Will continue to do business with them.

Private Eyes... Are Watching You..........2006-08-20

I don't care if you can't listen to this album in public for fear of being ridiculed, it is fantastic. Hall and Oates are at the top of their game on this compilation CD. If you don't (and probably shouldn't) want to buy all of the Hall & Oates albums and just want to load this music on your MP3 player - this is perfect. Just perfect. Buy it, and watch out boys... she'll chew you up. JVD

A compilation of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's Columbia recordings from 1976 to 1988, this 76-minute CD is an excellent introduction to the work of these senior New Orleans musicians. It also testifies to the band's durability as well as that of the music, with only a single change in personnel over the period covered. The disc concentrates on the most familiar repertoire, whether rags, blues, hymns, or popular songs, including "Tiger Rag," "St. Louis Blues," "Just a Closer Walk with Thee," and "When the Saints Go Marching In." There are also beautiful renderings of Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo," taking the tune back to its roots in a New Orleans blues song, and Hoagy Carmichael's "Georgia on My Mind." --Stuart Broomer

Customer Reviews:

New Orleans Jazz.......2005-09-25

I purchased this set because I love New Orleans jazz and I had been to the Preservation Hall several times over the years. I already have several of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's LPs. Because of Hurricane Katrina, I didn't know if the Band would be producing any more music. So I bought "The Best of Preservation Hall Jazz Band" CDs. I wasn't disappointed, and I'm very happy to see that the French Quarter was spared major damage. It is the birth place of a truly American art form: Dixieland Jazz.

Jazz as it always sounded.......2005-05-21

Preversation Hall Jazz Band is what the name implies, preserving the way Jazz was played and passing it on in that form. This isn't popular with some Jazz people but their is something to say for classic playing. For me this is an aspect of Jazz that I like played "this way" and they do a great job of it.

This CD gives you an excellent selection of songs at a very good price. Each number is very well done and easy on the ears and great fun. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Preservation Hall Jazz Band at the top of their form. The classic "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" is worth the price of the CD as a stand alone. Add in "When The Saints Go Marching In", "Tiger Rag" and a couple of others for an outstanding value.

Amazing Music From True Masters.......2004-12-24

Other places may try to claim jazz as their own, but no one can hold a candle to the jazz from New Orleans. The Big Easy is where it was invented and it doesn't sound any better than when it's played by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

This disc is a collection of their best songs spanning the time from 1976 to 1988. Everything is here. From the LSU(and my high school) favorite, "Tiger Rag," to the easily recognized "When The Saints Go Marching In," you'll find it on this disc. I love the band's take on "Georgia On My Mind" and "Just A Closer Walk With Thee." They are both proof that everything sounds a little better with jazz.

Folks will also recognize "Joe Avery." They may not know that "Joe Avery" is the title, but when they here the trumpet, they'll recognize this one as a huge Mardi Gras favorite.

Every single song on this album is well worth the price. Buy this disc if you want to know what the real deal sounds like.

Best of Jazz.......2004-06-21

I saw the band perform several times in the 1980's. Truly a wonderfull experience. The review of the person complaining the singing wasn't that good is completely off the mark: what did he expect, the plastic voice of someone who had a full sound stage to hide the fact he couldn't sing at all?

The Epicenter of Jazz.......2002-10-26

Preservation Hall is the epicenter of Jazz on this planet and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band represents in fine fashion. Having each band member featured on a particular song adds to the uniqueness of this CD and is a great asset, not something that "almost eliminates" the excellence of the compositions.

I'm a native New Orleanian who's been to Preservation Hall many times and I own this CD. The shallow review of one reviewer should in no way dissuade you from buying this CD as a central part of any Jazz collection. This tracks chosen for this recording are a fantastic cross-section of Jazz and of the band itself and is well worth the investment.

Amazon.com essential recording

There are many, many Andrew Lloyd Webber albums out there, including cut-and-paste compilations and songbooks from individual artists, most notably Sarah Brightman, Michael Crawford, and even Jose Carreras. The Premiere Collection is probably as authentic as you can get in a hits album, however. In addition to the most popular selections from the original casts of Evita, Cats, and Jesus Christ Superstar, the 57-minute album includes two selections from Tell Me on a Sunday (also recorded by Bernadette Peters as Song and Dance), the title tune from Starlight Express, the "Pie Jesu" from the Requiem, and a snippet from the Paganini Variations, thereby allowing you to hear the good stuff without having to spring for the complete albums. Note that the three selections from Phantom of the Opera are the 1986 pop singles instead of the cast recordings, meaning Steve Harley rather than Crawford sings with Brightman on the title tune and Cliff Richard subs for Steve Barton on "All I Ask of You." (Crawford does sing "The Music of the Night," of course.) This 1989 compilation was too early for Aspects of Love or Sunset Boulevard, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is ignored, but these omissions are rectified in the follow-up album The Premiere Collection Encore, and the American-slanted version, The Very Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Broadway Collection. --David Horiuchi

Musical Pleasure.......2007-07-03

I enjoy all of this music, listening frequently. Some not original cast members, so less than 5 star. Product exactly as advertised.

The Premiere Collection.......2007-01-17

My sister had this and it got destroyed. She wanted an other, This was the only place I have found it!! Very hard to find! I have been to every music store in my area. She loved it!! And was so happy to have it again. Anyone who loves Andrew Lloyd Webber will love this. As it has many songs from some of his most famous plays with the original cast. Great item.

beautiful.......2006-12-21

This CD is a great compilation of some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hits. If you are just looking for a "quick fix" for your Broadway craving, this is a great value.

Fair Album with 1 starlight and 0 aspects.......2004-07-09

I think this album is F-A-I-R because it has one starlight express song and zero aspects of love songs. This is why i liked the album The reason i said that this is a fair album is that I like Starlight Express better. Song i like are "The Phantom of the Opera", "Take That Look off Your Face", All I Ask of You", "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "Mr. Mistofflees," "Superstar," "Memory", "Starlight Express", "Tell Me On A Sunday", "Music of the Night", "Another Suitcase in Another Hall", and "I Don't Know How To Love Him". I dislike the following songs:" Track 6" and the last one because the last one was hard to understand and track 6 is instrumental.

Superb collection.......2003-08-11

... It is a collection of the best of ALW's creative efforts, and a collection of great performances. Anyone who loves "Broadway" should have this disk in their collection.

Classic Burt & Dolly.......2007-07-03

I had watched this movie YEARS ago, and liked it enough, it stuck in my mind until I bought it. Yes, there are scenes not appropriate for younger audiences, but the music is great (where else do you see Burt singing?). A fun movie to watch.

Nothing dirty going on!.......2007-04-28

Fabulous musical score. Great voices. Funny lyrics. Sing along!

Buy it, you wig-wearing, citified sonofa...........2007-03-08

Brave the ridicule and get the soundtrack to one of the best Burt musicals ever! Ok, I think it's the only Burt musical ever, but these people actually have good voices.

The HUGE problem with this soundtrack...........2006-02-21

It has always irked me that instead of including the MOVIE version of Hard Candy Christmas in which ALL whorehouse girls share lead vocals on individual lines (the true MOVIE SOUNDTRACK version), a gorgeous moment in an otherwise wacky film, they included a Dolly Parton SOLO LEAD version on this soundtrack which just loses the whole point of the song's use in the movie. In fact, a true homage to the way the song was presented in the film was recorded on the RUPAUL christmas CD, in which (s)he SHARES the lines with a gaggle of her favorite fag hags--of course, that version is total camp.

WONDERFUL.......2004-12-23

I just recently saw this movie and LOVED IT. It is really a fun, energetic musical and very entertaining.I went right out and bought the original broadway cast version. That one is good, but Dolly Parton is the best Miss Mona of the 3 versions available. Although several songs from the broadway show are left out, the best ones are included ."Sneakin Around" is my favorite one and this one is not in the broadway version. This is definetly the one to get and if you are a big fan you might like the others.Personally I didnt likethe way Ann Margret's voice soundedand the original broadway version wasnt as fun.Both of them lack the energy Dolly Parton can easily bring through the music.

The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas.......2005-09-19

I saw the orginal broadway play. It was a fun show. The original broadway cast should have been the cast for the movie, but I digress. Carlly Glynn has a wonderful voice that puts you in the scene and makes you want to be there. It is an enjoyable cd. A lot of fun made of our "sins of the flesh" without being tacky. Great Fun!!!

Songs are better than the movie, but the vocalists stink.......2003-11-19

I've always tried to find the Broadway version of movie musicals. I got this one at a used CD store. I liked the songs, including several that didn't make it into the movie, (sub-plots that wouldn't fit?). My complaint is the vocalists. I wouldn't mind if one or two were less-than-spectacular, but the whole cast? Miss Mona is shrill, the "watchdog" is flat, and the governor gargles! The music is interesting, but the vocals are a step below community theater. I'm going to look into the re-make recently released.

An underrated score.......2002-08-28

Simply put, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" is one of the most underrated scores in Broadway history. True, it doesn't have traditional, grand melodies like "My Fair Lady" or "The Sound of Music," but it does have wonderful songs that help advance the story of this unique musical. Every song in the score is hummable, and some are very lovely. Just because it wasn't nominated for a Tony for Best Score in 1979 (it was nominated for Best Musical and several others) doesn't mean it didn't deserve a nod. The score should've been on the list, and, in fact, did win two Drama Desk Awards the previous year when it played Off-Broadway.
This CD should be in everybody's original broadway cast collection. It's a true gem.

Delightful!.......2002-03-10

Those of you who have read some of my other reviews probably think I'm a prude: I've complained about shows that throw in sexual material just for effect, and I've praised shows for omitting sexual innuendo. Well, you'll be surprised to learn that I enjoy listening to THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS, which I'll call `BLWT' for short.

Why the apparent change of heart? From its title, you should expect this show to have the capability to offend. When you consider the potential coarseness of the subject matter, BLWT handles it quite tastefully. (Although there are plenty of scantily clad men and women in a few scenes, don't confuse the staged version with the more vulgar movie!) As long as you can suspend your objections to prostitution, and you don't mind rooting for the girls to keep their jobs, it really isn't that difficult of a show to digest.

That said, here are some more specifics on the show.

THE STORY:
The Chicken Ranch of Gilbert is a beloved institution in Texas. With a history harking back 80 years, it has served as a homey "pleasure palace" for the men of the Lone Star State, and is currently run by the no-nonsense Miss (not `Madam') Mona Stangley. Miss Mona runs a class act: the grounds are well-tended, her `Ladies' live under strict regulations, and the `Guests' are treated with the utmost respect and are expected to reciprocate.

Everything's fine until TV moralist `Watchdog' Melvin P. Thorpe declares a personal crusade against the Chicken Ranch. Despite the fact that "one-half of the police officers and two-thirds of the lawyers in the state of Texas grew up in this house," the political pressure mounts and the Ranch is eventually shut down. While others object, Mona just takes the bitter with the sweet and moves on.

THE MUSIC:
Carol Hall (best known for her music on SESAME STREET) has written a fun-loving score reflecting her Texas roots. Her lyrics reflect the low-key lifestyle of the citizens of Gilbert, from extolling the virtues of the Chicken Ranch ("20 Fans"), to Miss Mona's assistance to a lost girl ("Girl, You're a Woman"), to a town waitress wishing she were less respectable ("Doatsy Mae"). Two great upbeat numbers are "A Lil' Ole Bitty Pissant Country Place," in which Mona explains the rules of the Ranch to her newest Ladies, and "The Sidestep," the governor's dance for the media. Perhaps best of all are three songs of the Chicken Ranch residents as they see the writing on the wall: "No Lies," "Hard Candy Christmas," and by far the best song of the show, Mona's reflection on how she ended up in her present situation, "The Bus From Amarillo."

The only song that's a real let-down is "Good Old Girl," the sheriff's paean to Miss Mona. It doesn't help that that Sheriff Ed (Henderson Forsythe) has a terrible voice.

THE RECORDING:
While none of the voices on the original cast are standouts, everyone's voice (except Forsythe's) is pleasant enough to listen to, and their acting abilities are fine. As Miss Mona, Carlin Glynn does an admirable job being a tough Texan while still showing compassion.

I have been a fan of James Hall and W&P since their first album, and he never cease to amaze me, although this album is primarily a collection of some of his best hits, I can only say that whoever had the job of choosing what songs to fit this album as "best/greatest hits" had a hard job, becasue all of his selections on each album are unique but skillful in their own way. James and Melvin Crispell make an awesome team!

I know it is impossible to put all of the best song by James hall on one CD. But how can you forget about Anita Wells and Tanesha Crispell! But for all of us who has been following James from the beginning, this CD is something to carry along to keep the classics in good condition. Next time when you want to do another Best of, how about doing it LIVE and do a video. OverAll I recommend this CD, especially for the new James Hall Listeners. You'll Love it!

When i first picked up this cd, i must say that i was somewhat dubious in doing so. 'It's just another Grieg collection', i was thinking to myself. However, this collection is more than this. It offers an excellent insight to Norway's greatest composer. Fine for anyone who wishes to find out more about this great composer.

VH-1's Behind the Music may signify the final curtain for some acts, but Hall and Oates aren't so easily confined to the dustbins of pop history. With a chart run that spanned most of the '70s and '80s, Philadelphia's most enduring purveyors of blue-eyed soul went on to keep a fairly low profile until "Do It for Love," a newly recorded track for their 2002 VH-1 retrospective, crept up to the top of the adult contemporary charts. Nearly a year later, the duo reprises the track and title on a full album that aims to recapture the best aspects of their glory days. Among its highlights are a sublime cover of New Radical's "Someday We'll Know" that teams them up with War Babies collaborator Todd Rundgren, and the funky "Miss DJ," a playful pop confection that avoids the excessive novelty of their more calculated '80s hits. After three decades, Hall's remains one of pop's most expressive voices. And while the album as a whole may lack the edge and energy of the pair's earliest work, it's still a promising collection from a rock duo that's earned a place in Philly soul history. --Bill Forman

A Must Buy.......2006-04-30

Hard to believe that this CD is just as good as their many hit albums from the 1980s. Their ability to create hooks, songs you can't get out of your head, is at their absolute best. If you are an H&O fan, or if you just want great pop music to listen to - over and over - I can't recommend this highly enough. If only it could airplay instead of the junk you hear today on the radio!

H & O still groovin' -- wow!.......2005-08-16

More than 100 reviews here, almost all five or four stars, what does that tell you?! Simply that Hall & Oates are still just a great group. The blend of their voices, the instrumentation, the songwriting -- it's all here. This is as good of album they've ever made, and they've made some legendary ones.

This is an epic CD -- and I just picked it up at the library and need to buy it this week. It truly is wonderful. Favorites include "Man On A Mission," the title track, and "Heartbreak Time."

Wow! Thanks H & O for keeping your music alive. Please, don't take so long between albums next time.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES!.......2005-03-12

I'm a big Hall and Oates fan and I recommend this selection. Not only is Do It For Love a contagious hit that you'l want to play over and over again, but this CD is full of other terrific tracks as well. My second favorite off this CD would be Man On A Mission. Daryl Hall is one of the smoothest vocalist of all time, half of the most popular duo in recording history...so what else would you expect from this talented pair!

Get this album and "Do it for Love".......2004-11-13

I have been following Daryl and Johns music since the late 70's and they seem to be like fine wine. They get better and better with age! I should know! I have even met them in person! This album is definately a hit! As I proceeded to pick up this album the day it went on sale I did not know how much of a good thing I was going to get. Man was I pleased when I found out all 14 tracks are great hits in themselves. I would elaborate on all of them, but just the title one "Do it for Love". It is definately a Hall and Oates song! The vocals of Daryl just make the song come alive as if your actually living the song. Daryl is THAT good! Johns background vocals as well as the blend of the vocals of Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, Charlie "Mr. Casual" DeChant and the rest of the band really make this song a hit! On one final note, I am engaged to be married. My fiancee and I both agreed that this will be 'our' song at our wedding. Thats how good this song is and the album is just as good!

Their best since Big Bam Boom.......2004-11-02

This is a really solid album. Most of the songs on here are very good. My favorite one is Life's Too Short. I think it would have been a big hit if it had been released as a single.

My only beef with this album, and it's a small beef, is that I wish John Oates was on here more. There's some songs on here that he doesn't appear on at all. Not that the songs sound bad, but come on, it's supposed to be Hall AND Oates.

P.S. - Does anyone else think that Love In A Dangerous Time sounds a LOT like Bonnie Raitt's Nick Of Time? It's not a bad song, but I prefer the non-Bonnie-sounding version on John's solo album Phunk Shui.

Face to face with 80Â's best.......2003-04-15

Amazing!! This could probably be one of 80's music most remarcable albums. Hall & Oates with their very different styles on music (one gosspell and blues, the other one soft rock, jazz) really made a huge contribution to music. This duet, has left it's print in the history of music.
The songs presented on this cd are for collectors. Don't miss the opportunitie of getting it. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS BUY!!!!!

Great collection of classics.......2000-08-04

Great collection of Hall & Oates classics, but a bit heavy on later songs from Arista. Notably missing "You Make My Dreams Come True".

Looking back Hall & Oates cd.......2000-02-22

I love this cd It has the songs I loved but I was Very, Very disapointed to find that they didn't add the song I also loved "Say it isn't so" to the roster of greatest because it was. This lost a star on my rating. I don't know who decided it wasn't. :( other than that I enjoy the cd it brought back good memories :)

The Best of Homer and Jethro (Hall of Fame 2001).......2007-06-18

WAY COOL. If you are a fan of these two nuts and then you will want to add this to your collection. It is truely them at their all time best. I have several cassettes with thier works they are funny. But this CD is my all time best collection of their crazy parody music. A most excellent find and would recommend it to all.

A good addition to your Homer & Jethro collection.......2006-01-15

An entertaining album of Homer & Jetho's early work. If this is to be your first Home & Jethro album, though, I'd reccommend "America's Song Butchers, The Weird World of Homer and Jethro" instead. This "Hall of Fame" album obviously takes from old 78's and is pre hi-fi. Not a lot was done to clean the sound up; listening with headphones can be painful. But the lyrics are amusing and the talent is there. (Please also read Thomas Ferranti's review. I listened to the album and it does not contain the Wurlitzer overdub, thankfully)

Now if they'd just re-release "Barefoot Ballads", their excellent hillbilly album that introduced me to Homer and Jethro in the first place.

Not their very best but the best example of the early years........2004-08-27

Well - lets say it's the 1930s or 40s and you own a record company named King Records, and you sign Homer & Jethro to their first recording contract, produced countless 78rpm 10" discs, and sold a fair amount of them when all of a sudden, modern technology develops the 33rpm 12" disc, and no one wants to buy 78s anymore, Homer and Jethro move on to RCA records, and manage to get quiet a lot of attention so you repackage their back catalog via several 12" album collections.

Now it's many many years later. H&J have all but been forgotten. Except now - someone releases a couple of CDs of their RCA sides - and you get an offer from someone to license some of the old 78s recordings - and, well, to call it as such, maybe you won't sell as many, as if you billed it, instead, as some kind of "best-of" - and that's exactly what has occurred here. Well, for shame for shame. (Tho for all I know, maybe these WERE the most played 78s - could be.)

The material on this disc IS a must-have peek into those early days, when they werent as much into the country hillbilly humor then, and played alot of generally straightforward folk type stuff, albeit the humor IS still there - in fact - some of these early tracks are what got me hooked in the first place.

A good dip into the well of 78s, otherwise collecting dust. "Groundhog" is still a classic - their 'ad-libbing' is great - you can tell they were young, but really enjoying themselves!

Just a warning, though - back in the 70s, some idiot decided to take a batch of these 78s and record a new layer of wurlitzer organ or some such thing over the top - (as if it needed anything!)- especially not the sound of one of those cheesy keyboards with the silly synthesized drums and bassline!

So - I can't tell you if this is the one with or without that overdub or not. I was so excited to see I could write this review I didnt stop to see if there were any sound samples to hear! :(

Here's to you, and Homer and Jethro! Enjoy!
