- Paul talks about the music of Memory Almost Full
Amazon.com
"Many years from now" must have seemed like an understatement to 16-year-old Paul McCartney, wondering if he'd still be needed or fed at the age of 64. As it turned out, all doubt as to the latter had ceased by his 22nd birthday (though few could have predicted he'd end up washing down those meals with the liquid pride of Seattle). As to the former? Now that McCartney, as of the date of this album's release, has reached that mythic age, his greatest work is 40 years behind him, his solo peak over 30 years gone. Does the world need a new Paul McCartney album? The answer is yes, at least as much as it needs anything else that passes for music these days. With Memory Almost Full, Macca is back. No, it's not Ram or Band on the Run. It might not even be Flowers in the Dirt--in 1989, he had a full band, the support of Linda, and Elvis Costello as a collaborator. Here, he's on his own. Literally: on the majority of the tracks, everything but the strings is multi-instrumentalist Paul. But the surprise is that it's one of his freest, loosest affairs in years, sonically reminiscent of the Tug of War/Pipes of Peace era with nods to Abbey Road in the album-closing medley, McCartney's gravelly tones on "Gratitude," and 2007's version of "Her Majesty," the palate-cleansing "Nod Your Head." It's a surprise because of the album's inescapable sense of retrospection ("Ever Present Past," "Vintage Clothes," "That Was Me") and even a bit of weariness. The next-to-last song is "The End of the End," after all, in which McCartney tells us about what he'd like to happen "on the day that I die." (He wants "songs that were sung/to be hung out like blankets/that lovers have played on/and laid on while listening to songs that were sung," and will likely get his wish.) But it never gets overwhelming, for McCartney mostly resists his tendency to get plodding and maudlin. In fact, Memory Almost Full must be the most sanguine album made during the dissolution of a marriage since...well, ever. "What went out is coming back," he sings in "Vintage Clothes," and from the sound of things, that may not be just wishful thinking. What's past is prologue; if we're lucky, what to come may be McCartney's late renaissance. --Benjamin LukoffAlbum Description
The 13 new songs on Memory Almost Full are performed entirely by Paul McCartney (excluding strings) and produced by Grammy Award-winner David Kahne (The Strokes, Sublime, Bruce Springsteen and more). This beautifully-packaged, deluxe limited edition also comes with a 2nd disc that contains 3 unreleased bonus tracks and audio commentary by Paul McCartney describing the music, 6 foldout color postcard-sized photos, and full lyrics.

Memory almonst full.......2007-07-22
65 and still going strong.......2007-07-22
Good music, poorly engineered recording.......2007-07-18
I agree with the reviewer who was critical of the recording. One of the worst examples is "Only Mama Knows". Most of the song is pushed to the absolute limit of CD volume. There's no actual clipping indicated when the track is viewed on a good audio editing program, but it sounds like there was clipping at some stage of the recording/mixing process. The effect of this is distortion and almost no dynamic range. I suspect a remastered version of this album will be issued years from now, and the volume problem will be fixed. And, yes, I'll probably be foolish enough to buy it.
Time to retire and rest on your laurels.......2007-07-18
Sir Paul, you are 64 and I will still send you a valentine, if you stop writing trashy music. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. This one is sad.
It is time to retire and rest on your laurels.
Paul is still on top !.......2007-07-16
Excellent music !!!

Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve WilliamsAlbum Description

- HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING? duet with George Michael
Amazon.com
At this point, who else but Tony Bennett would have the clout to round up stars on the scale of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bono, Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand for some duets? (Note also that unlike some similar projects, all the parties involved on this CD were alive when it was recorded!) The material consists of relatively obvious classics in standard big-band arrangements, and Bennett himself is in top form at age 80, so much so that he doesn't need anybody else to handle "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." But the fun comes from checking out how his collaborators fare. The Dixie Chicks provide wonderful Andrews Sisters-type harmonies on the percolating version of "Lullaby of Broadway" that opens the festivities. The best songs tend to be the ones where Bennett's slightly craggy voice is juxtaposed to smooth female ones, like Diana Krall on "The Best Is Yet to Come," familiar accomplice k.d. lang on the sultry "Because of You" and Streisand-perhaps Bennett's only equal in stature at this pointon "Smile." Among the less expected guests, soulman John Legend is a revelation on the hard-swinging "Sing, You Sinners," while George Michael confirms he's quite the crooner on "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" Elvis Costello, Celine Dion or Juanes don't sound as comfortable, and sometimes it feels as if they overdo it to compensate, but overall this collection is among the best of its kind, with most guests rising to the occasion. --Elisabeth VincentelliAmazon.com
Perfecting the art of excellence for over six decades, with 105 albums selling over 50 million copies, Tony Bennett has come to represent the essence of elegance, tradition and artistic accomplishments. Tony celebrates his 80th birthday recording Duets of his greatest hits with today's greatest artists: Bono, Michael Bublé, Elvis Costello, Celine Dion, Dixie Chicks, Billy Joel, Elton John, Juanes, Diana Krall, k.d. lang, John Legend, Paul McCartney, Tim McGraw, George Michael, Sting, Barbra Streisand, James Taylor, and Stevie Wonder.More from Tony Bennett

There is nobody who can blend with Bennett's voice better than k.d. lang - except Diana Krull, James Taylor, Tim McGraw or, well, most of the other people chosen to sing with him.
This record is joyful and not enhanced, as one reviewer suggested. Hearing/seeing how Bennett works with lyrics and other performers still amazes me. I've been a fan since his first recording - there was nothing like a Bennett song for setting the mood.

Slow shipping & Minor Damage.......2007-05-14
The Shipping was fairly slow. It took about two weeks (10 business days) to arrive through standard mail. This probably wouldn't have been so bad, but most of the other orders that I have placed through Amazon have arrived in 5 business days or less.
The product itself seemed to be damaged during manufacture. All of the CDs were lose in the cases. It appears that they didn't seat properly, and during the seating process the tines in the center of the case that hold the CDs in place were broken. None of the discs were damaged or scratched.

Few would dispute that Frank Sinatra was one of the greatest popular singers of the 20th century. His voice had distinct power and majesty, whether he was belting out a swinging dance number or softly crooning a tender ballad. When he was at his height, no one could touch him, and the songs collected on Classic Sinatra showcase the range of his talent. Recorded during his memorable run for Capitol Records in the 1950s, the songs here are more than just his best, they're often the definitive recordings: "I Get a Kick out of You," "Young at Heart," "Witchcraft," "The Lady Is a Tramp," "In the Wee Small Hours," and "I've Got You Under My Skin." Like almost everything Sinatra recorded during this period, there isn't a dud to be found, which makes Classic Sinatra a perfect introduction to the work of this truly great talent. --Robert BurrowAmazon.com

Great Sinatra sound........2007-07-09
An Ideal Single Disc Collection Of Sinatra's Peak Years........2007-05-03
Now, like most hardcore Ol' Blue Eyes fans, I consider Sinatra's best period as an artist to be his tenure at Capitol Records. And like most fans, I consider the best introduction to that period is the three cd boxed set "The Capitol Years". However, that set may or may not be too pricey for beginning fans.
Now, those with that dilemma can hold themselves over with the 20 song, single disc "Classic Sinatra". Though nowhere near as concise the 75 song "The Capitol Years", "Classic Sinatra" boasts 20 songs that define Sinatra's style and artistic ability also boasts superior sound quality.
Among the clasics here are songs like "I've Got The World On A String", "I Get A Kick Out Of You", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "Witchcraft", "All The Way", "Come Fly With Me" and "Nice N' Easy", all songs which are instantly indentifiable with Sinatra because unmatchable ability to deliver a song. This goes evne moreso for songs like "My Funny Valentine" and "Someone To Watch Over Me", songs done contless times by numerous artists, yet it's always Sinatra's versions that are named definitive.
So while not as concise as its three disc predecssor, "Classic Sinatra" is still a solid introduction to The Greatest Artist Of All Time in his peak years.
Like a 45rpm disc.......2007-03-23
My introduction into the world of Frank Sinatra........2007-01-23
This was my first Sinatra album..........2006-12-28
I discovered Sinatra when a friend of mine, who is absolutely into Jazz, told me that Sinatra is his favourite singer of all times. And I thoug: "If me and Teo have more or less the same tastes in Jazz, I should try Sinatra". And this album was the perfect introduction to him.
So no doubts, if you are new to Sinatra, buy this album and you will so shocked that, like me, you won't stop buying more CDs by Him.
And I have to point something finally: I have read many of the reviews in amazon, recomending other albums or periods of 'ol blue eyes, but almost no one says nothing about his columbia years. I own the 4-CD box set "The best of the Columbia years (1943-1952)" and I think it is absolutely amazing. It contents mainly ballads, but Sinatra is in perfect voice, the arrangements by Axel Stordahl are fantastic, and the sound quality is quite good. Now I am listening to "The house I live in" and singing ...that's America to meeeee.
so BUY THIS ALBUM and you will changed forever!!!

After Warren Zevon's death in 2003, his son Jordan was clearing out a storage space when he found a large stash of demos and home recordings Zevon had made before 1976. Winnowed down from many hours of tape, this selection is so satisfying you're left awaiting another volume almost instantly. Preludes has been generously packaged with a booklet overflowing with reminiscences and insight from peers and family, as well as a bonus disc with recent interview extracts and choice selections from 2000's Life'll Kill Ya. The rough sound quality is more than made up for by the performances. Highlights include a speedier, country-punk garage take on "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" and the original demo of "Werewolves of London," here presented in a slowed-down reggae-ish (and campier) take. Only two of these 16 takes fall flat: the vocals on "Accidentally Like a Martyr" are just too bleak even for Zevon, while the faux-sunshine Eagles-y production on "Ride So High" is interesting but just too anachronistic. The versions of "French Inhaler" and "Carmelita" show Zevon in his angry, post-Dylan singer-songwriter style. It's reminiscent of the best John Cale solo recordings. Poignant, beautiful and bitter, it's no wonder the guy didn't fit in with his California contemporaries. As with Townes Van Zandt, there's something of a great short story in Zevon's songs; confronted with them in all their ragged, stripped-down glory, it's clear what a major talent he was. --Mike McGonigalMore from Warren Zevon

Album Description
Warren Zevon passed way from mesothelioma, a form of asbestos related lung cancer in 2003. A few months later, his son, Jordan, drove out to one of his dad's storage spaces in the San Fernando Valley to begin the sorting the process. He discovered over a 100 unreleased outtakes and demos in a piano-sized touring case.Preludes features 16 of the best of these discovered recordings, including 6 unreleased tracks "Empty Hearted Town," "Going All The Way," "Steady Rain," "Stop Rainin Lord" "Studebaker" and "Rosarita Beach Café." All songs were recorded pre-1976. Other gems are previously unheard versions of "Werewolves of London" and "Accidentally Like A Martyr". The 2nd disc features an in-depth radio interview Warren did with Jody Denberg in 2000.

Vintage Zevon.......2007-07-20
But for a long term diehard customer like me, then what you do is play Preludes, and read "Sleep When I'm Dead". Then it all makes sense.... or not.
Much of it is demo quality, but good listening. And gives an insight into the man, and how he built his songs.
Ownership is compulsory

Good-natured rock & roll wise guy Joe Walsh not only made a name for himself as guitarist for The Eagles and The James Gang, but he also had a successful solo career. Known for his self-deprecating sense of humor ("Life's Been Good") and his dirty guitar boogie (the pulsating "Rocky Mountain Way"), Walsh drew a fan base from those who were fond of the harder edge he gave to The Eagles. He was easily one of the better guitarists of his generation, not so much for flashy licks but for his rhythmic sensibilities and awareness of restraint and economy. Yet Walsh continued to view himself as an "Ordinary Average Guy." His keen self-awareness and his understanding of the importance of rock in the overall scheme of things was further evidenced in "A Life of Illusion." Even the title of this collection, Greatest Hits: Little Did He Know shows Walsh, for all of his talent, never lost sight of the fact that it's only rock & roll. The album also contains the memorable "Funk#49," "Bolero," and "Midnight Man." --Steve GdulaCustomer Reviews:

This is an excellent collection of one of the most popular and influential rock bands of all time, though it omits "We Are the Champions" and "Fat Bottomed Girls" (these, however, can be found on the Greatest Hits album, which together with Classic Queen gets you a comprehensive selection of their work). There's some great stuff here, including rockers like "Hammer to Fall," "Stone Cold Crazy," "I Want It All," "Headlong," and the hilarious "Tie Your Mother Down." There's also a good sampling of ballads, performed with an energy and sincerity that sets them apart: "Who Wants to Live Forever" is sorrowfully beautiful, and "The Show Must Go On" is only echoed by songs like Queensryche's "Is There Anybody Listening." Rounding things off is a fine selection of the unclassifiable, such as "Under Pressure," "I'm Going Slightly Mad," and "Radio Ga Ga." --Genevieve WilliamsCustomer Reviews:
The pop Queen.......2007-07-18
I remember when Queen first hit the big time. Freddy Mercury, asked by the rock press to cite his singing influences, named Liza Minnelli (who ended up singing "We Are The Champions," Queen's machoest anthem, at the famous Wembley Stadium gig). And the band's name! It took all the hard rock jocks a few years to get the "joke" (which was on them); decades later, a TV advertisement for Viagra featured an army of ecstatic suburban dads, presumably straight, grooving through their neighborhoods to the sounds of "We Are The Champions." Mercury, even after life, was such a CARD! (Ah! If only George Michael joined the band for good!)
Unlike their uniformly humorousless arena rock contemporaries, Queen had an oblique vision - an emotional detachment which played well as they progressively cartoonized their mega-amped power chops. Bombast, drama - finally, humanism, too. This quality is featured prominently on this particular compilation, with a strong cross-section of their later, pop-oriented, material. More synthesizers, cleaner guitar solos and plenty of utopian utterances. The only painfully overexposed track is "Bohemian Rhapsody" (only finally unseated from its mighty UK chart reign by Abba's oddly similar "Mama Mia") but the Pet Shop Boys' charm of "I'm Going Slightly Mad" more than compensates.
CLassic Queen is not the "essential" Queen, you have to buy several CDs to get the big picture, but this is a superb sampler of the quieter, smarter, dare I say "gayer" Queen that hasn't been pounded killed by US radio.

ALONG WITH VOLUME II, THIS IS THE GREATEST QUEEN COMPILATION ALBUM EVER. PART 1 OF 2. .......2007-05-09
I will be writing a review on the legendary compilation album entitled "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" by one of Rock's all-time greatest legendary bands ever. I give you one on England's pride and joy's and one of Britain's favorite sons, Q-U-E-E-N! "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" was originally released in 1992 on Compact Disc on the Hollywood Records label which is distributed by Elektra Entertainment, a division of Warner Communications Inc. This review is Part 1 of 2. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.
QUEEN will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for writing and recording some of Rock's most sacred classic Rock anthems ever. QUEEN would also be well known the world over for having and containing perhaps, one of Rock's most flamboyant and charismatic lead singers and frontmen ever. Thats right, I'm talking about the late great Farrokh Bulsara A.K.A. Freddie Mercury. When Mercury met up and joined forces with lead and rhythm guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor, the stage would forever be set and QUEEN would be born to thrill and Rock. From that point on, it was full speed ahead, and with it, a long string of great albums and hit songs that would follow. QUEEN would soon gain a reputation through the years for being a great band that put on a great live show thanks to the legendary frontman Freddie Mercury. Brian May would also make the best guitarist polls in all of the Rock magazines. "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" would be the result of the many hit songs that QUEEN would write and record throught the years. Along with Volume II, "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" serves as one of the many contributions, accomplishments and achievements in QUEEN'S whole entire career. Which brings me to the legendary compilation album I'm about to review for you today. In my opinion, "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" is without a doubt, a true testament of the sheer genius and musical creativity of four extremely talented individuals. "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" is also a fine fitting tribute to a great band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.
It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of QUEEN to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. "CLASSIC QUEEN - VOLUME I" from 1992 begins with the beautiful uplifting hard Rock anthem "A Kind Of Magic," one of the most powerful and saddest hard Rock Opera's ever written, "Bohemian Rhapsody," the ultimate duet with David Bowie, the Rocker of all Rockers, "Under Pressure," the forever blistering hard a*s Rocker "Hammer To Fall," the speedy and energetic hard Rocker "Stone Cold Crazy," the beautifully slow synthesized song "One Year Of Love," the synthesized Rocker with a message, "Radio Ga Ga," the groundbreaking and daring Rocker that we can all relate to, "I'm Going Slightly Mad," the slow killer hard Rocker "I Want It All," one of the many ultimate hard Rock anthems, "Tie Your Mother Down," the beautiful Rock Opera "The Miracle," the forever beautifully slow smooth Rock anthem "These Are The Days Of Our Lives," the forever blistering hard Rock anthem "One Vision," the breathtaking hard Rock Opera "Keep Yourself Alive," the amazing hard Rocker "Headlong," the beautifully slow synthesized and orchestrated anthem "Who Wants To Live Forever" and the beautifully slow synthesized anthem with a message, "The Show Must Go On." May I also add that the late great Freddie Mercury's blistering lead vocals were sizzlin' red hot and burning on fire while laying down the tracks for all of these legendary hit songs. I would also like to commend Brian May for his merciless guitar riffs and licks during the recordings of these legendary hit songs. QUEEN'S rhythm section comprising of bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor were right on it and hitting their marks perfectly. Freddie's lead vocals and extremely high vocal ranges would take QUEEN'S breathtaking music to another level unimagined. WELL DONE!
Overall, this is one hell of a compilation album worth checking out and seeking further research and information into especially if you are a hardcore diehard QUEEN fan or a devout music collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not quite familiar with the sound and music of QUEEN, this volume I album along with volume II is not a bad place to start. I highly suggest purchasing both volumes of these legendary greatest hits compilation albums. You can do all of your researching and album purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. Doing this, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal QUEEN music collection. If you ever get a chance, buy both volumes of these albums, you'll be happy and satisfied that you did.
I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary volume I compilation album along with volume II to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. Without a doubt, this legendary treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This legendary album is one great priceless gem that no hardcore music fan or devout music collector would want to be without.
In closing, QUEEN would be riding high upon the release of all of these legendary hit songs along with volume II. You would almost think that everything was well in QUEEN'S world. In 1991, the Rock n' Roll world as well as the whole world, would be shocked and shook to its very foundations upon hearing the sad news that Freddie Mercury was dying of the AIDS virus. Very shortly after, on 24 November 1991, almost three months after his 45th Birthday, Farrokh Bulsara, known the world over as Freddie Mercury, would die from AIDS. What a sad tragedy. Freddie Mercury would be the first Rock n' Roller to not only die from the AIDS virus, but to bring the attention and awareness to the AIDS virus to the whole world in general just like legendary actor Rock Hudson did in the mid 1980's. But how could Freddie Mercury die when QUEEN was still riding high bigger than ever and in their prime? In the short years that Freddie mercury lived and QUEEN being together, QUEEN gave us a lifetime's worth of great Rock n' Roll music. Knowing this, QUEEN would shortly meet their date with destiny by receiving the highest ultimate honor possible, by being inducted as members into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. With this in mind, QUEEN has forever left their place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. But please keep in mind that the QUEEN legend and legacy does not end here. If anything, IT IS ONLY JUST THE BEGINNING. Although Freddie Mercury is irreplaceable, QUEEN has successfully had brief reunions with George Michael and the most recent with Paul Rodgers to highly critically acclaim. I truly believe that Michael and Rodgers would be the first to tell you that Freddie Mercury is irreplaceable. I don't think that ready Freddie would have wanted it any other way. There would also be new tales and stories in the QUEEN and Freddie Mercury legend that would still need to be told and written. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and glued to your computer and read further more about it at a later date in the near future. So here's to you late great Freddie, Brian, John, Roger, and yes, George and Paul. Thanks for the many great memories. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more or am I wrong? FREDDIE MERCURY LIVES! Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. QUEEN FOREVER! R.I.P. FARROKH BULSARA A.K.A. FREDDIE MERCURY, Born 5 September 1946, Died 24 November 1991 at age 45. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.
Rock Royalty's "Other" Greatest Hits Album.......2007-03-03
Queen was hard to categorize. Granted, most people instantly stick them in the classic rock boat, which isn't a bad thing, but they reach much farther than that. This album features heavy rockers such as "Hammer To Fall" and "Stone Cold Crazy," but it also highlights pop-rockers such as "It's A Kind Of Magic" and the David Bowie compilation, "Under Pressure." Other highlights include "Radio Ga Ga," "Who Wants To Live Forever," and "Tie Your Mother Down." My personal favorites include "Hammer To Fall" and "I Want It All."
Overall, this is a wonderful album to have. Coupled with "Greatest Hits," it makes for a solid catalogue of Queen's best music. Queen was one of a kind and deserves all of the accolades it has received over the years. I highly recommend you get this album and "Greatest Hits" together.
A Testament to rock at it's best.......2006-11-26
A range from rockers to ballads , and an excellent introduction to the band.
The album has a good flow and a good sample of Queen's brilliance.
It's A Kind of Magic is a great rock-pop song , a real feel-good hit.
The classic rock-opera masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody which was voted the greatest song of all time in the United Kingdom needs no introduction but no Queen compilation album is complete without it.
And then of course, Queen's fantastic collaboration with David Bowie: Under Pressure - A great all-time classic.
Hammer To Fall is a pop hit in the typical style of Queen's 80's music.
The fast paced rocker Stone Cold Crazy is a fantastic hard rocker and a good example of 70's Queen rock.
I'm Going Slightly Mad is a zany and amusing hit from Queen's later work.
I Want It All is another of Queen's later works and has quite a powerful and lively quality.
Tie Your Mother Down is grand 70's hard rocker and quite humorous
These Are The Days Of Our Lives is a good contemplative and light pop hit
One Vision is an anthemic and synthesized hit from 1986 and one of queen's better 80's works
Keep Yourself Alive is from Queen's first album and one of my very favourite Queen songs for certs.A perfect example of rock at it's best.
Who Wants To Live Forever is a sad ballad of longing and immortality from the album A Kind of Magic amd The Show Must Go On is one of Queen's last hits and a testament to the band.
