5 comments about Frampton Comes Alive!.

1. I recently purchased Frampton Comes Alive cd and it still sounds as good as the day it was released.The music from this era is timless!!!!



2. This album is amazing. I'm only 23, so this music is way before my time (I never even heard of Peter Frampton until 2005). I kept hearing it's one of the best selling live albums ever, and after hearing it, it's for a darn good reason. The production quality is crystal clear, the songs are classics, and it's just a blast to listen to over and over! Everyone should own this album for it truly stands the test of time.



3. If you were a teenager in the late 70's this record was issued to you.
   It permeated that entire era. A must have. Bought it on cd a while ago and really enjoyed listening to all of it again. Frampton was really at the top of his game here. Memories.



4. Oh my gosh after 30 years 'Do You Feel Like I Do" still brings tears to my eyes! Its my high school years all over....wow! I really loved the casualness of this album, it really 'Shines On' Peter Frampton's talent (not in the singing area but his fabulous guitar riffs!)



5. Although i cannot do a review that is even half as good as the absolutely brilliant review by John P. Morgan. I will do my best to review the album in a way that is deservable to its glory. This album is amazing, no it is an experience in itself. I remember hearing that this was the most sold live album of all time and i figured peter frampton pfttt... why is it so popular, Frampton's not even that good, although i had heard next to nothing by him (I was very ignorant at that juncture of my life). Intrigued however to see what was so good about it I bought the album (also i bought it because i have the sick obsession to collect all the essential albums of classic rock, jazz, blues, and prog rock). So i bought it opened it popped it in my cd player expecting to hear a mediocre album with a third-rate singer/guitar player. Boy what a surprise i got. The first track of the cd started off perfectly for me "If there was ever a musician that is an honorary member of San Francisco Society...Mr. Peter Frampton." Then Something's Happening came in and i was swept away by the music. This album is amazing, I listened to it over, and over, and over again. Frampton is a fantastic guitar player and all his musicians are first rate. The music production is pretty much perfect and everything rings with crisp professionalism. In short all the songs on this album are incredible from the slower numbers such as Wind of Change and All I Want To Be (Is By Your Side) to rockers like It's a Plain Shame and Doobie Wah, to the hits he is most known for like Show Me The Way, Baby, I Love Your Way, and Do You Feel Like We Do (Awesome talkbox by the way Frampton pretty invented and popularized the use of it on this album). Even the cover of Jumpin' Jack Flash is fricken mindblowing. This album taught me to never judge things prematurely again, it is fantastic and is a worthy addition to any collection. It is in my opinion one of rock's greatest live albums. In short get it now and be taken away by the music.

5 comments about Heart - Greatest Hits: 1985-1995.

1. I received the Heart CD on time. It was like brand new. Heart is one of my favorite groups from the 80's era. I enjoy listening to them.



2. Very good CD, had all the songs I was looking for and was cheaper than the newest Heart CD.



3. Its a great Album!!! I've already DL to my I-pod nano. My fav. songs or I listen the most are "Never", "Nothin'At All", "Stranded" and few others songs as well. Heart You Rock!!! and They're Hot!!



4. Being a long-time Heart fan, it infuriates me when bands/artists that have been around for awhile (at least 20 yrs) churn out these "Greatest Hits" collections that only have half of the good songs from said time period with a bunch of fillers. Who decided the song list for this album, please?!? Where are "There's the Girl," "Bad Animals", "Secret",
   "I Love You," "Almost Paradise" etc.??? Heart has released at least 3 different 'Greatest Hits' albums that I know of, none of which include all of their great songs. So many good songs were omitted from this album that I would NOT recommend it to any die-hard Heart fans. Until Heart comes out with a TRULY cumulative box set (that includes the previously mentioned songs AND "Sweet Darlin'" from the early years) this consumer & Heart fan will continue to be disappointed & will probably end up buying all of their old albums on CD anyway. :(



5. very diverse cd covering a lot of years. I like it and my wife loves it.

5 comments about As Time Goes By...The Great American Songbook: Volume II.

1. This is a great CD to have on while entertaining. It helps create a relaxing and yet up-beat mood.



2. If you like Vol.1, try this Album no2.
   Volumes 3 and 4 are algo great!



3. I was never a fan of Rod Stewart during his so-called "hit" years. I didn't care for his voice or his arrangements and never could figure out what people saw in his music of the time.
   
   However, after listening to this album, I hear mature and interestingly jazzy treatments of some great classics. I love the vocals, the arrangements and the overall interpretations of these songs.
   
   A friend played this album for me and dared me to guess who was singing them. I would never have guessed Rod Stewart to be the artist.
   
   Keep up the good work Rod!!!



4. There is only 1 ROD STEWART and this album WILL NOT DISAPPOINT his fans! AWESOME! TIMELESS!



5. AGAIN, HERE IS THE GREAT SOUND OF ROD STEWART! AND HIS DUETS ARE GREAT ALSO. THAT IS HALF THE FUN, LISTENING TO THE SPLENDID BLENDING OF VOICES!! I HAVE ALL FOUR OF HIS COLLECTION AND CAN'T WAIT UNTIL #5 ARRIVES IN THE STORES!!!

5 comments about Steppenwolf: All Time Greatest Hits.

1. If anyone likes Steppenwolf should get the cd! We enjoy it and listen to it all day at times.



2. My nephew, who is 19, told me he wanted this album. I was shocked when I received it and saw that it contained all the songs I was familiar with back when I was young. I think it says a lot when a teen wants to listen to the same music his old 60 year-old aunt listens to. And, I would like to add, my nephew is quite a rap dancer, too! I think that proves it's timeless.



3. These guys are in their 60's and are still on the road, but this disc is an ok but not great re-master of the 70's original releases. John Kay makes the band what it has become which is a great 70's band. A nice CD to have for old times sake.



4. great cd, all the songs i grew up with. some songs, i can remember what i was doing at that time.



5. Very good piece of music history. I still like the LP's sound a bit better then CD's due to some of the characteristic noise flaws but unfortunately LP's do not play in the car.

5 comments about The Cream of Clapton.

1. To talk about Eric Clapton is like to refer us to one of these untiring and innovative musicians, who are like true hunters in what concerns to fertile creativeness, rhythmic sense and portentous expressiveness.
   
   Since the first time one listens (at least this was my case) one participates with him, because his music involves, delights and hovers the hall of your home. In Clapton, the guitar proudly exhibits, one of its most genuine performers. He has gained ground every time he decides to release an album, because one realizes that behind every single theme, there` s a visible sense of communicate experiences and livings. He has achieved this hard pinnacle due its absolute and total conviction about he is doing. Moreover, there` s a febrile passion that always has stamped his presence, and you may verify since those the times of "Cream" until his most recent album. His collaboration with every musical partner, nourished and inspired one to another, and this was a decisive step throughout his consolidation as music and composer. Steve Winwood, with Blind faith, John Mayall, B.B. King as well as his continuous worriment to be aware with the sound of every generation he has lived has gained him an enviable honour place among the cream of the Blues and Rock music, because he has never denied he before nothing is a blues performer. His well self-styled artistry and inimitable identity are the essential factors who have allowed him to be far beyond we are used to listen here and there, a renowned and fashionable artist. His creative genius has become him a crack-jack artist.
   
   So after all these considerations without regarding your ages, you should acquire this album, because it's part of a transcendental and golden chapter of the R&B music.



2. indeed the name says it all,if your only going to buy one clapton cd this is it. it spans his career from 67-81 his best years in my opinon (being to weak before and too soft after)and this includes all his best known tracks from cream,blind faith,the dominoes and his solo career, and they are great tracks all.so for any clapton or classic rock fan this is an essential.



3. This could be called Essential Clapton, as it covers his progress from ex-Yardbird to plain old Clapton, no additions needed (though he always chooses top-notch people to travel with); the one album I missed being represented, of all the terrific ones taken from here, was his great "From The Cradle", an examination of the blues that no Clapton fan should miss. Overall, "The Cream of Clapton" is a faithful survey of all his greats; 'White Room' and 'Sunshine Of Your Love' from the days of Cream; 'Blues Power and 'Let it Rain' from the self-titled Eric Clapton album, which is the album that drew me into his orbit - I still have the vinyl somewhere; the omnipresent 'Layla' and 'Bell Bottom Blues' from his Derek and the Dominos era (he was trying to keep a low pro with the name; small chance, after 'Layla'), and other great hits, 19 in all. He intentionally did not allow the inclusion of 'Tears In Heaven' which has become intensely private for him, and which I can understand; he also never plays it in concert anymore.
   
   This is not an all-encompassing collection, but it certainly hits on many of his best moments. I picked it up on a whim and was not disappointed, other than missing the blues album already mentioned, and in retrospect, that album is one that should stand alone and not be fragmented.



4. I wasn't even old enough to enjoy most of the music when it came out. This perpetuates my opinion that you have to look back to find any really good music today.



5. This has a nice selection of Clapton songs from his Cream days through to the best of his solo career. If you like Clapton (and don't already have these tracks) you can't go wrong

5 comments about Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits.

1. Although it is drawn from only three albums (with only one track, "Dirty Laundry," from I Can't Stand Still), Actual Miles was a well-chosen best-of from an artist who had enjoyed just enough hits to justify one. Five tracks each came from Building the Perfect Beast and The End of the Innocence, and they included all of Don Henley's Top 40 hits. The album was filled out with a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" and two new tracks, among them the ambitious "The Garden of Allah," which seemed to be an attempt to create a new allegorical masterpiece along the lines of "Hotel California," but managed to be only pretentious. Still, the bulk of this album was the sound of AOR radio in the mid-'80s. That, of course, was the catch -- this album should have come out about four years before it did, and probably would have if Henley hadn't been suing Geffen Records. Though destined to be a successful catalog item, in 1995 it was more a historical artifact than a major release.



2. I was very pleased with the cd I purchased. It was used, but in very good condition. I can't see spending a large price for a new cd when I can purchase the same cd used and in real good condition. I think that it is great that I can buy used cd's from Amazon.com at a very reasonable price.



3. Well, my dragon escaped. Yes he did. This is what happens when your Metamorpho is called away to do publicity shots. I tell ya, that David Hemmings sure knows his way around a camera. Anyway, when I arrived home from London, I went to feed the dragon and found that he wasn't there. To my total chagrin, I realized he had pulled a Shawshank Redemption stunt on me. The evidence was there. Looks like he breathed fire on the stone to weaken it, and used his claws to create an escape hatch. Of course, I did not suspect anything. But what a clever dragon! Hiding the hole with a big poster of Playdragon of the Month over it!
   
   Anyway, I had a private investigator get on his tail immediately. I found out that he took the chunnel to France. From there, he puchased a used car from a salesman that looked like Don Henley. The authorities then contacted me and said they had him cornered in the Cave of Lascaux. Of course, by this time, the car salesman was looking for him too. I guess he didn't like being paid in Drachmas. But, I ask you folks, what other currency would a dragon carry?
   
   Anyway, on my trip through the Chunnel to fetch that snakey, surreptitious serpent (3 X fast people!), I started on this review of Don Henley's Greatest Hits called "Actual Miles". I wonder where that idea came from? Mental note to self: massive mental meditation (3 X fast again) needed.
   
   Mr. Henley, as we know, is no stranger to the pop-rock arena. And with all the hooks he employs here, he solidifies his status as a true craftsman. Well, what do you want people? If I had been an Eagle instead of a Seer, you'd be buying my music instead of me giving away free reviews! So have some respect, please!
   
   But, back to the point, this is a fine collection of music. Mind you, it is not perfect, but for the most part, it is well done. Most of the tunes here are taken from his first 3 solo albums, with the bulk of the material coming from "The End of the Innocence". As with Henley, and a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you'll get. He can give you social commentary with the looping organ parade in "Dirty Laundry", the mild suggestion of reconnection in "The Last Worthless Evening", the somber and sobering reality of "New York Minute". But, take heart! He also gives you many deadhead stickers on a cadillac (I have one!)in his megahit "The Boys of Summer" (listen for that almost imperceptible echo of the word "Crazy" on this). Also, a camraderie of good feelings down at the "Sunset Grill".
   
   The thing about his music is how effectively he marries the mood with the message. The hop-jump sound of "All She Wants to Do is Dance", totally makes sense, even as they drive poor Mr. Henley out of town. The semi-sweet piano of Bruce Hornsby is perfect for the breaking of fragile glass reality in "The End of the Innocence." Digging even deeper in the dust, Henley pulls out the crown jewel of all his songs with "The Heart of the Matter." What makes this such a remarkable achievement is that he sheds off all the illusionary garb that we all possess, and goes not only into the heart, but the soul of the matter. Knowing his own imperfection, and his own part in the matter, he reveals what is essential for any human failing. Forgiveness. But, not necessarily for her, but himself. That is the true value and insight this song brings to people who need to hear it.
   
   Unfortunately, I could have thought of a lot of other, worthy songs to fill out this c.d. He includes 3 new recordings, which, although interesting, somehow don't seem to gel. I am sure some social commentary is behind "The Garden of Allah", but it has never intrigued me enough to find out just what. The sarcasm and bitterness of his composition "You Don't Know Me At All", and the defeatism of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" is just too blunt and doesn't let you leave with a good feeling.
   Henley's forte is to write a balance between wit, irony, lyrics and music to make the journey worthwhile, or somewhat relevant on many levels. For me, unfortunately, the songs sound dark and whining.
   
   In conclusion, a fine collection with a few drawbacks - thus the 4 star rating. Now, I better get back to business here. I am now outside the cave with the Henley look alike. He is lurking, leering, lambasting me (3 X fast people!) as I am trying to lure the dragon out of the cave. He's not happy, I'm not happy, and the dragon's not happy. But, be honest people. You're happy because I finally wrote this review! Don't be shy - admit it!
   
   Stop dragon my heart of the matter around --------- Metamorpho ;)



4. It surprises me when record labels let graphics departments (and recording artists) come up with bizarre covers for what is supposed to be a greatest hits album. But anyhoo, this is still surprisingly heartfelt music. Don Henley's solo career has been full of,lyrical, insightful music. Compare this music with the solo career of Don's Eagles writing partner, Glenn Frey and you'll see that Don is the better lyricist.
   This collection is disappointing in that it leaves out two tasty soundtrack tunes- "Sit down your rocking the boat" from LEAP OF FAITH, and "Love Rules" from FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH. Also left off are Henley's duets with Stevie Nicks and Patty Smyth.



5. It's hard to put down an artist whom I admire--and maybe it isn't Henley's fault, but as is the case with many CD's (albums/compilations), the stuffing is often also the turkey.
   
   Simply put---I should have downloaded the hits and left it at that. To my ears, there was nothing of any great value or significance other than those. Yes, the liner notes are there, and that holds some interest--but this case isn't filled with jewels.
   
   Since I'm selling mine on this site the review is contrary to my own best interests, but that's not unusual--poor people often vote Republican.

5 comments about Creedence Clearwater Revival.

1. You get one CD of Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets, one CD of the Golliwogs, all the CCR studio ablums (ablums?) and two live concerts. One concert is the four piece and the other concert is the three piece. All remastered.
   
   Now, you have to buy the boxed set to get the remastered, original track listing of the three piece concert. Otherwise, you end up purchasing a CD with a few tracks missing. Bugger that. Especially when its Sweet Hitchhiker that was one of the tracks cut.
   
   Well worth the money.



2. This box set gives you all studio and live albums in one, compact and uniform looking box set. CCR has many good songs, all of their popular ones are very good, but there are lots of other good ones that are not so popular. It comes with 6 discs. One disc is pre-creedence material that is actually very worthwhile. Two of the discs are kind of a live version of songs. The set also comes with a 20-30 page booklet with all kinds of commentary on what CCR was and how they came to be.
   To me, discovering CCR was like finding something new and fresh when looking back in time. They are a definitive band of the 60s and 70s and I really can't understand why the radio stations I hear don't play more of them...



3. This set has to be the best historical set of Creedence Clearwater Revival.The remix is excellent which allows you to enjoy this "classic" compilation in digital sound.If you are a CCR fan this is a must have set!!



4. Creedence never die.
   I'm a big fan of their music, and now with these cd pack i can feel the firsts sounds of the band.
   I'm realy enjoying the firsts achords of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
   And btw it sounds really great. High definition sound without "back rain".



5. Fantastic remastered sound, even in the earlier recordings; great photos and comentaries; nice box presentation, you really must hear and have it!

5 comments about Blues.

1. Wow! and Wow Again. Because Jimi had his basics with some of the best unkonw blues masters this is one of the best blues recordings I have ever owned I am 84 and recognize some of the riffs from some of my oldies. Every one who loves the blues should own this one.. To bad he isn't alive today to share more of his talent.



2. This is by far the best Jimi Hendrix CD ever produced!!! His blues guitar playing is the at the top of the list with B.B. King and S.R.V.



3. I've been looking for a more intimate showing of Jimi Hendrix's talent. This is just what I was looking for. He was an excellent blues guitarist.
   The recording is just a bit echoing. But overall, I love it.



4. As you would guess by the title, this collection from Jimi Hendrix is a
   little more down-home than his others. Relax, and you will be pleased
   with these recordings which show Jimi's skills when playing the blues.
   There are also new renditions of a couple favorites with a more blue
   flavor, and an impressive jam session with complex ryhthms and smoking
   guitar licks that will have you saying thank-you Jimi. If you enjoy the
   blues played by other rock musicians, then you will like this one too.
   I am glad I have it to add to my Hendrix collection.



5. There's really some great music, on this album. If you love the electric blues, you really need to get this, as it's full to bursting, at a whopping 72 minutes, with soulful, wailing, mind-blowing blues. Alternate versions and outtakes dominate the disc, so if you've got Jimi's standard studio stuff, this is still worth owning. Less production and more feeling is what you'll find here. Great stuff, and I find that I listen to this more than both Are You Experienced? and Axis: Bold as Love, and almost as much as the magnificent Electric Ladyland.

5 comments about Chronicle Vol. 2: Twenty Great CCR Classics.

1. I'm going to take a different approach to reviewing albums on Amazon. Instead of going in depth on each album and describe each album in detail, i'm going to simply rate each album with how many stars I feel each album is worth based on the below criteria. I hope this helps you make a better decision on purchasing this album with a simple individual rating. If it doesn't help read another review.
   5 stars- Classic, Album goes beyond description, Perfect in every way, Could remind you of a certain time or place, Lifetime replay value.
   4.5 stars- Near Classic, Incredible album, Maybe only one song that is skippable or just overall doesn't quite deserve classic status. High replay value.
   4.0 stars- Awesome album. Very solid album from start to finish. Met every expectation and more. Maybe only one song or two that is skippable or just doesnt' quite deserve a classic or near classic rating. High replay value.
   3.5 stars- Above average album. Solid from start to finish but there are a few songs worth skipping. Met expectations, minimal replay value.
   3.0 stars- Average album. Nothing bad but nothing great either. After the initial appeal will collect dust.
   2.5 stars- Major disappointment. You had high expectations that were ruined as this album is not good at all. There might be only one or two songs worth listening to. No replay value.
   2.0 stars- Below average album. This album doesnt bother you to hear as background music but you would rather not listen to it if you didnt have to. No songs really appeal. No replay value.
   1.5 stars- Terrible album. Makes one sick to hear it. No songs really appeal but there might be one song that you could stand to hear. Would rather throw in garbage than even waste space in your collection.
   1.0 stars- Makes one cringe and the ears bleed!
   *keep in mind, each album review might not be based on opinion of the band but the album itself in the bands discography.



2. I bought this in addition to Chronicle Vol. 1, because I wanted "Born On The Bayou" & "The Midnight Special." As compared to Vol. 1, more of the songs on Vol. 2 are covers of songs by writers other than John Fogerty, & I was less familiar with the CCR covers of those songs than I was with those written by John Fogerty. I really liked most of their covers. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover a few John Fogerty originals that I didn't know from my youth that were really good. As a true CCR fan, I'm happy I have Vol. 2, but Vol. 1 is more reliable as a general sampling of CCR. Still, I recommend Vol. 2 to anyone who is willing to accept a few (& I don't mean many) songs on a CD that won't really flip their switch mixed in with some truly classic songs.



3. Chronicles 2 is the second installment of Creedence Clearwater's greatest hits.
   Chronicles 2 has many great songs, its just not the best of CCR'
   What really amazes me is......it is very obvious that they left Born on the Boyou off of Chronicles so they had a hook to get you to buy this second edition. It may or not be good business but it is dishonest.
   If you want the best of CCR get Chronicles....if you want great songs, but not the very best, get this.
   John Fogerty is so good and CCR was so good, you will still enjoy this CD.



4. What can you say. If you love CCR, you'll love all their songs in a compilation. I received Chronicles 1 & 2 as a gift and ended up buying them for a family member as a gift too! Enjoy!



5. Like others have stated, I also find it annoying how radio stations will take three or four songs by each artist and wear them out to the point of overkill year after year while constantly overlooking so many other great tunes that deserve the same airplay given to the overplayed hits. This is exactly what makes Chronicle volume 2 a refreshing collection of songs for Creedence Clearwater Revival fans. John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford were responsible for more great rock n' roll in the brief span of four years than most rock bands can produce in their whole careers! The band's first Chronicle album from 1976 is a must-have that includes all of their best known radio hits, but this excellent second volume serves up an impressive selection of great overlooked material that hasn't been worn out by every classic rock station in America.
   
   The Beatles had a bigger impact on the world and the Rolling Stones stayed together a whole lot longer, but neither band consistently produced as many pure rock n' roll tunes of better quality than Creedence did from 1968 to 1971. As Bruce Springsteen said when inducting these guys into the hall of fame, "they weren't always the hippest rock n' roll band in the world, just the best". If Creedence Clearwater Revival isn't the greatest rock band of the 60's and 70's, there hasn't been a band on the radio in the past 30 years who can touch them.
   
   At least half the songs on this CD equal the quality of any hit single the band ever released. There is a great mix of strong original Fogerty tunes and excellent reworkings of classic tunes by others that Creedence delivers with as much feeling and conviction as the original artists. The swamp rock masterpiece "Born on the Bayou" is the one essential hit here that was left off of the first Chronicle CD and is arguably the ultimate Creedence song, if not the greatest swamp rock tune ever recorded. John Fogerty is among the most powerful rock singers alive and this is one song that proves it. John belts this classic with enough grit, power, and passion to make overrated rock vocalists like Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart sound truly weak and inferior in comparison.
   
   "Pagan Baby" is another hard-hitting Fogerty rocker that features a hot extended guitar solo and another gritty, powerhouse vocal performance from John. Fogerty's underrated guitar work was one of the band's strongest assets which is clearly heard in their rockin' arrangement of Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly", "Tombstone Shadow", and the great boogie rocker "It came out of the sky" that has a nice Chuck Berry feel to it.
   
   "Night time is the right time", "Midnight Special", and "Born to Move" show the band's blues-rock side, while the Elvis Presley tune "My baby left me" shows how well Creedence could play authentic Sun records rockabilly. "Wrote a song for everyone" is one of their best overlooked ballads and "Lookin' for a reason" is nothing but pure country music that few rock bands could pull off so convincingly.
   
   Creedence Clearwater Revival managed to take everything that was great about rock music in the 1950's and make it popular all over again at a time when psychedelic excess and flower power had taken over the world. Creedence offered nothing but "feel-good" rock n' roll with more beat, rhythm, and drive than any other rock band of their era. Their music was simple, direct, raw, powerful, and totally infectious. If you already have their original Chronicle CD but want to dig a little deeper into the rest of the best that this great band had to offer, this is the collection you need.

5 comments about Past Masters, Vol. 2.

1. All Beatle fans out there,if you don't have this get it. You will not be sorry!!! Also if you can afford it get the Beatles Anthology. Most excellent.



2. ...and just what a complete Beatles CD collection requires. (Volume One as well.) Maybe the very, very best ever released versions of some of these tracks aren't included, but as that's always subject to some subjectivity I'll pass on the debate over that. Let it just be said that I'm quite satisfied with the versions presented, though perhaps I'll pursue the others once life slows down enough that I'll need that kind of diversion.



3. The album Past Masters Volume Two is the second outake album from The Beatles, from their later stuff. Later Beatles were so much better than early Beatles, anything pre-Help was medicore, with some good spots, but Help and up was just amazingly good. Anyways this features probably my favorite Beatles song Don't Let Me Down, the song is just so amazing. Then you get some alternatives, some great new songs, just as good as Beatles album choices (some better). Than you got just the regular Revolution, which is so much better than The White Album version. It's hard to believe that an outakes album can be so freaking good, but in the end, this ranks up there in The Bealtes best efforts. Also notable is it has one of the weirdest Beatles songs You Know My Name (Look Up The Number). Might be the only essential outakes album there is!



4. Este volumen es el complemento de la primera parte (Past Masters 1); incluyendo mas grandiosas numeros uno como DAY TRIPPER, WE CAN WORK IT OUT, PAPERBACK WRITER, HEY JUDE, LADY MADONNA y THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO, encontramos esas canciones que se consideraban "perdidas" o "inconseguibles" pero maravillosas como RAIN, THE INNER LIGHT y la divertida YOU KNOW MY NAME (LOOK UP THE NUMBER); lados "B" inolvidables como DON'T LET ME DOWN, OLD BROWN SHOE, REVOLUTION y para los que no lo saben, las versiones de LET IT BE, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE y GET BACK son diferentes a las que estan en los LPs, por lo cual NO ESTAN REPETIDAS; al igual que el volumen 1, ES INDISPENSABLE PARA TODO AMANTE DEL POP Y ROCK!!



5. I was looking for a CD version of the Lennon song "Rain" to play for my chick. I had it on an American vinyl release from about 69 "The Beatles Again" but couldn't find it on any other CD or !Tunes. Also, the original version of "Revolution" juxtaposed next to the awesome but mellow "Hey Jude" blew me away. If you like Beatles rock, this CD is for you. Thanks Amazon
