5 comments about The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

1. This set is great. It has alot of hard to find Jimi, Stuff you may not have heard. I highly recommend it.



2. The first song Purple Haze was the same arrangement Jimi Hendrix did when I saw him in 1967. What an incredible compilation. Exceptional for any Jimi Hendrix collector!



3. I bought this boxed set after my old Hendrix CD's mysteriously disappeared. I thought the set would replace the classic albums, but every track is an alternate version. With the exception of a "Star Spangled Banner" (which bears NO resemblence to the awesome Woodstock version) the cuts make acceptable -- and occasionally superior -- substitutes for the classic Hendrix hits.



4. This is a must have it you like Jimi Hendrix. This set includes studio songs and several unreleased live songs, which I have never heard before. Included is a 79 page book loaded with pictures and information on the band. This is one of the best CD sets that I have ever purchased and added to my collection. Enjoy.



5. este es un gran ejemplo de como realizar un box set..... excelente compilacion, temas ineditos, booklet grandioso, sonido atronador, y encima estamos hablando de un conjunto de composiciones maravillosas, que aun pueden elevarnos muy por encima de la alarmante mediocridad a la que nuestros oidos se estan acostumbrando hoy en dia....si no tenes nada de jimi, COMPRALO..si tenes algo, COMPRALO.. si tenes todo..COMPRALO IGUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Dark Side was a great album. But it was not that great. I love the songs, Time, Us and Them, Eclipse, Breath in the Air, and the instramental On the Run. But the song Money? That song was one of the most annoying pieces of garbage I have ever heard. The great gig in the sky is not much better, just some 'soulful wailing'. A good album, but overated.

5 comments about The Grateful Dead Movie.

1. Let's see, kickin set list with fan favorites and some beautiful extended jams? check. Wall of sound? check. Interviews with the band and some colorful dead heads? check. Behind the scenes footage? check. The most moving rendition of Morning Dew ever captured on tape? check.
   
   The bottom line: You will not be dissapointed, this one has it all!



2. Born too late and having missed out on one of my favorite bands this movie provides the closest thing to a Grateful Dead show out there. Even if you're not a fan I think there is a lot of value in watching this DVD. It also might turn someone on ...
   
   This needs the HD treatment. The DVD sparks with excellent sound and video quality I couldn't imagine what it would be like in HD. Closer to the real thing? Perhaps!



3. This dvd set is the most prized in my entire collection. The brilliant music and sound quality on this dvd has already been explained enough, I just want to make one comment.
   
   In the bonus songs is a track simply titled "the other one." The song though is part of my favorite music suites ever by the dead. On 10/17/74, during the second set... He's Gone > jam > weirdness > the other one > spanish jam > mind left body jam > the other one > stella blue. The whole thing together is mind boggling. Unfortunately the DVD song only has the tail end of weirdness > the other one > spanish jam > mlbj > too. While this segment is still sublime (especially the gorgeous MLBJ,) it would've been nice to see the whole sequence together.
   
   My point is, don't overlook the bonus tracks, which are magnificent, and also don't skimp on buying the so called "movie soundtrack," which has tons of amazing music not on the dvd, as well as the complete sequence described above.



4. THIS IS AN AWESOME DVD. THE BEST VERSION OF OF SUNSHINE DAYDREAM EVER!!! CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT IT... EVEN IF YOU ARE A SEMI-FAN (DO THEY REALLY EXIST?) BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!! IT'S GREAT.



5. This is IT! Really, Really, REALLY! THIS IS IT! The only way to really be there again these days. Not just a time capsule---it's a time machine.

5 comments about At the Close of a Century.

1. As much as I love Stevie Wonder as an artist, it's almost impossible to buy every last album he's ever released. Not only that, it would be way too costly to attempt (though I would say every 70s album SHOULD be bought). This set is the epitome of what a compilation set should be -- virtually every meaningful song he has made over his vast career. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to know what Stevie was about in one stop.



2. This CD box set is definitely worth the money!! My 2-year old godson loves it as well!! He runs to get his "mike" and groove to the funky sounds of Mr. Wonder... He even turns up the volume and gets me up to dance with him. It's gonna be a great asset at the family reunion this year with everyone humming, singing along, dancing and reminiscing as I have been since the day I received it in the mail. I'm gonna end this as I began it.... Definitely worth the money!!!!



3. A lot of people will give an item on Amazon 5 stars because they think it's a good cd, dvd, book, what have you. For the At The Close Of The Century box set however, I was reminded of past teachers in third or fourth grade that would never give anyone a 100 because "nothing is perfect." This box set might be the exception to that rule.
   The set covers the entire career one of the greatest minds in the history of American music from his Little Stevie Wonder days to the new millennium. Included in the first disc are some of his break-through hits like "Fingertips" and "Uptight", as well as some rare cuts like "Until You Come Back To Me," a song you're probably familiar with, but not coming from Stevie's voice. The disc concludes with one of my all-time favorite Stevie songs, "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer" and a couple very underrated tracks from the album Music Of My Mind.
   Discs two and three are essentially a complete collection of the "golden era" of Stevie Wonder. All the songs you love from Innervisions, Talking Book, Songs In The Key Of Life, and Fulfillingness' First Finale. One omission I was very upset about was "Please Don't Go" from Fulfillingness, another of my all time favorites. This is a very minute problem, however as the rest of the set more than makes up for a lack of one personal favorite song.
   Disc four has all of his "modern" hits. Some big fan favorites like "Ribbon In The Sky" and "I Just Called To Say I Love You" are on here, as well as some of his hip hop-esque experiments like "Skeletons" and "Gotta Have You" that will take you aback. The song "For Your Love" is a forgotten cut from Conversation Peace, but holds up with a wonderful, powerful chorus.
   Simply put, you have about 70 songs and over 5 hours of legendary material. I love the fact that it's presented chronologically as it really shows the growth of one of the most important figures in American history. With the exception of a few songs on the fourth disc, all of the songs have completely stood the test of time and this set will be the cornerstone of your entire music collection. All I ask is you also get your hands on the song "Please Don't Go" to truly complete the set.



4. If you are a true Stevie Fan this is a must have... It has hits from little stevie and BIG STEVIE... I brought this for my mother and she goes into a zone. It is priced just right and it is well worth it... It has over or close to 80 different songs!



5. Stevie Wonder is a true icon in the world of music. Each of his songs has touched our lives in one way or another. This box set signifies his place in the annals of music. To sum it up, AT THE CLOSE OF A CENTURY, highlights almost forty five years of music that has created so many memories. I may be 25 years old, but I can honestly say that I am one of Stevie Wonder's lifelong fans. All of my favorite songs are on this album, especially My Cherie Amour, Uptight(Everything is Alright), Yesterday, and of course Overjoyed. Stevie Wonder, keep blessing us with your music.

5 comments about The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 60's.

1. I love this CD. It brought back alot of memories and gave me so, so many smiles! I hope you love it as much as I do!!!



2. It is a well-put-together collection, so much so that I almost bought it...until I realized that I already had every song, in the same order, from another Collectables CD release - WCBS FM 101.1 25th Anniversary, Vol. 2: The 60's - Silver Anniversary Edition; this was a "limited edition" release previously put out in 1997...you may be able to get this older CD cheaper, and they are the same thing.
   That only goes to attest to the popularity of the compilation, and the fact that WCBS 101.1FM originally chose the songs means something - they are a great oldies station in New York.



3. I am using this "oldie" music to educate my grandchildren. We always play it when we are going someplace in the car and they just love it. They really get into some of the songs and our car just rocks!



4. I bought this cd along with another 60's cd and my mom loves them both.



5. The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 60's has lots of great `60s tunes that are sure to bring back great memories and introduce newcomers to this genre at the same time! The sound quality is rather good, too.
   
   The Tokens do a great job on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight;" they harmonize and sing this to perfection. I love that rockin' beat that swings back and forth as the song goes along so well. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is an excellent `60s ballad. The Monkees also turn in a great performance on "Daydream Believer;" their sound is quite good and catchy, too! The like the subtle key changes along the way and "Daydream Believer" is a song many people can enjoy.
   
   Little Peggy March never sounded better than when she sings "I Will Follow Him;" her voice is as clear as a bell and this always impresses me. Jay & The Americans also give a great contribution with their awesome "Cara Mia;" this was always one of my very favorite tunes from the 1960s.
   
   Little Eva's "Loco-Motion" rocks and rolls just as good as the first time I ever heard it; and listen also for Spiral Starecase doing their fantastic ballad "More Today Than Yesterday." This bouncy little tune is a great celebration of love. Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" also ranks high on the list of highlights of this CD.
   
   Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" shows off his great talent as he sings this to perfection. Lulu also does a bang-up job on "To Sir With Love." Lulu sings beautifully and hers is another voice that is just as clear as a bell.
   
   Dion's "Donna The Prima Donna" has a great beat as Dion sings of a girl he doesn't really like so much anymore; and The Happenings turn in an innocent and sweet number with their "See You In September."
   
   Overall, fans of that great `60s music will want this CD in their collections. People just finding out about this style of music will not regret this purchase at all.

5 comments about Maggot Brain.

1. I don't know what drugs Clinton and co. were on when they recorded this classic. I probably don't want to. The first two were pretty weird as well, but this one makes 'em look tame. Here, you get a lot of the acid funk-rock stuff the group was doing in their early days, only what they did was took that formula and improved on it. The winding, stoned jams that took up most of the first record are better, so are the loud, crazy freakouts that took up much of the second one. And the short tracks rule as usual.
   First up, there's "Maggot Brain," with Eddie Hazel playing a guitar solo worthy of Hendrix. It's amazing how much emotion he pulls out of it, and the huge variety of feelings he expresses just with is guitar. It's wonderful stuff, but part of me thinks I like the bonus full band mix more, just because you get a cool marimba part with that one. Either way, it's one of the top five (if not top three) tunes that ever came out of the P-Funk camp. "Can You Get to That?" rules, too. It's totally different from the emotional odyssey that was "Maggot Brain" - it's a down-home folk song with a great melody and awesome baritone vocals, and it actually manages to almost be as good as "Maggot Brain." Not quite, but close. Then you get a couple sweet acid-soul songs, with Bernie showing off his weird organ stuff: "Hit it and Quit it" and "You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks." Totally cool tunes, both of 'em. Then it's back to the rock, with the uber-heavy "Super Stupid," with another one of Eddie's Hendrixian solos. It's yet another highlight - everyone gets a chance to rock out, and they don't waste it. I'm a bit disappointed by "Back in Our Minds," though. It's okay, but isn't particularly interesting. It's made up for by "Wars of Armageddon," though. That's the best freakout ever to come from Funkadelic. A ten minute celebration of all things sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Most people don't like it, but I think it's quite cool.
   Bonus tracks! You've got the alternate mix of "Maggot Brain," "I Miss My Baby" (cool song!), and "Singing a New Song" (eh.) Worth a purchase! I don't know what to call this one. It rocks harder than most "funk" albums, and has more groove and bottom than most "rock" albums. Funkadelic was always cool, but the early stuff is insanely creative.



2. Funkadelic-Maggot Brain *****
   
   Funkadelic's Maggot Brain is one of the most rewarding albums in my entire musical library, and I have a very big and vast library. Rewarding in the since that I have taken more away from this album than just about any other. As a musician any Parliament or Funkadelic, or any funk album in general is going to test your skill and this is no exception. Being a guitar player, hearing Eddie Hazel play is a lesson every time, and upon each listen my mind is blown. The title track, 'Wars Of Armageddon' and 'Super Stupid' are among some of the very best guitar playing I have ever heard. The rest of the group as well from the signature bass to the great percussion this great.
   
   As a musical fan this is a rewarding album on that front as well. Songs like the elegant title track still give me chills. And what is great about anything with George Clinton is that like his hero Sly Stone all his funk is fun but contains and important social message. 'Can You Get To That' is loose and a great comment of the economy. But aside from the funk 'Super Stupid' is just one example of how Funkadelic was versatile, this is one of the very first heavy metal tracks recorded. With one listen to that track and you'll be able to see where Lenny Kravitz got his funk.
   
   For me Funkadelic was always a favorite over it's counter part Parliament, while I love them both, Funkadelic always was more free with their musical endeavors, where Parliament was pigeon holed with one genre, and Maggot Brain is the best example of this, even more so than One Nation Under a Groove. Maggot Brain is a rewarding album on so many levels that I feel no musical collection is complete without it, which I feel okay saying because this has something that would fill a whole in any genre's collection.



3. This CD is for the true funk lover. Gotta love that George Clinton! Great CD!



4. Face it. This album is a classic for one reason, its title track. Maggot Brain is a one-of-a-kind guitar solo, as good today as ever. The rest of the album is forgettable.



5. Musicologists love to debate where Jimi Hendrix may have ventured had he not tragically died in 1970. It is true the master was going to work with Miles Davis, and that would have been monumental. It is worth exploring the possibilities of a foray into the newly developing funk scene as well, and nobody came closer to carrying on the Hendrix legacy than Funkadelic's guitar wizard Eddie Hazel, a true contemporary of Hendrix and Jeff Beck. Unfortunately, he has not enjoyed the mass appreciation of other guitar gods, and that's a crime.
   "Maggot Brain" opens with the title track, a simple rhythm guitar backing Hazel in a ten minute opus that belongs in the rock god pantheon. George Clinton wisely lets Hazel shine, knowing genius when he hears it. If "Maggot Brain" isn't enough, Hazel soars throughout, welding funk with metal and making it work. It makes you wanna boogie and play air guitar at the same time, which would look really stupid, but that just proves how well the two styles of hard rock and funk can work together.
   As with great jazz musicians like Wes Montgomery, John Coltrane and Charlie Christian, to name a few, it's a shame more young black musicians aren't interested in making real music, preferring instead to rap over minimalist backgrounds and completely ignore their musical ancestry that invented blues, rock and roll, and jazz. "Maggot Brain" belongs in every collection.

5 comments about Long Distance Voyager.

1. The Moody Blues' tenth studio album entitled Long Distance Voyager was released in May of 1981.
   The Moody Blues, by 1981, had not put out any studio work since 1978's Platinum selling Octave (which was the last album which featured founding keyboard player Mike Pinder). Then in the spring of 1981 saw the return of The Moody Blues (which now consisted of guitarist/singer/songwriter Justin Hayward, bass player/singer/songwriter John Lodge, flute player/singer/songwriter Ray Thomas, drummer Graeme Edge and new member and one time Yes keyboard player Patrick Moraz (whom Yes fans remember for his stellar work on the band's 1974 album Relayer)). Many people were disappointed with Octave and called it disjointed but Long Distance Voyager saw The Moody Blues return in a MAJOR WAY!
   First, the band jettisoned producer Tony Clarke and replaced him with Pip Williams. Then the band recorded in England for the first time since 1972's Seventh Sojourn at Threshold Studios in Northamptonshire, England in late 1980/early 1981. Finally, the mellotrons were gone and synthesizers (especially the Oberheims (which were the most popular synthesizer at the time)) were now here in its place.
   The album opened with the Top 20 hit and FM rock radio staple "The Voice" which its synthesizer intro showcaed Moraz' synthesizer work and is a great piece with some fiery vocals and guitar from Hayward and was penned by Hayward, is a great song and worthy of hit status. Next is "Talking Out of Turn", a ballad penned and sung by Lodge. A great song. Next was the album's other big hit, the Top 20 charting "Gemini Dream", which was penned and sung by by Lodge and Hayward and proclaiming they were back, and they were. "In My World" is next and was the last song on the first side. The Hayward penned number is almost country-ish in sound but a beautiful track and featured excellent steel guitar work by B.J. Cole.
   "Meanwhile" starts the second half of the album and was penned and sung by Hayward and is a fantastic number about love slipping through the character's fingers. Next is the Graeme Edge penned number "22,000 Days" which is about life and making the most of it and a stellar track. We follow with another Lodge penned number called "Nervous" and is another classic number. The album's last 3 tracks is a mini-suite penned and sung by Ray Thomas. The three tracks in question are "Painted Smile", "Reflective Smile" and "Veteran Cosmic Rocker" compares the music and entertainment world to the circus. This mini-suite of three songs is a great way to close a classic album and should be listened to as one suite (not individually).
   Long Distance Voyager upon its release became The Moody Blues' second, and to date last, US chart-topper hitting #1 in July of 1981 and staying there for three weeks and was the second Moody Blues album to hit the Platinum mark in the US (meaning it sold a million or more in copies) and rightfully so because the album is flawless and saw The Moody Blues come back from a clunker to bring one of the best albums of their career.
   HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!



2. This is such a great album. This album was released in 1991, and it really caught my attention. I had some favorites from the past albums, but this release showed that the Moddies can move with the times. Their sound is still the best around.
   The gems are "The Voice", "Gemini Dream", "In My World, and "Meanwhile", these are topnotch, and the rest of the songs are all really good. I like "Talking out of Turn", and "22,000 Days" and "Painted Smile".
   This album is great.



3. This non-blockbuster Moody Blues album is my single favorite album of the hundreds that I own and of all time. Certainly, many, if not most would not agree with this assessment. So be it. However, everyone has different tastes.
   
   LDV is just completely pleasing and pleasurable to me. That's all that counts.



4. I truly love this album; it tends to move much more towards easy listening than the earlier Moody Blues. The melodies here are well visualized and well crafted. The lead singing also varies on this set in interesting ways: John Lodge sings lead not only on "Talking Out of Turn," but also on Justin Heyward's "Nervous;" and Justin Heyward's lead on "Painted Smile" (a well crafted Ray Thomas song) is convincing in its tone and fullness. The album as a whole is emotionally satisfying, with at least two bonified rock numbers.



5. Having most if their first albums, I got this just to share with a friend and found that it had some nice tunes on it. Mostly recognizable themes, but sufficiently musical enough that I wasn't disappointed with my purchase. The friend liked it too.

5 comments about The Zombies - Greatest Hits.

1. Their hits were too few. Unless you really like the group I would suggest other music. It was a disappointment for me.



2. Amazon MP3 is supposed to be this DRM-Free Mp3 downloading paradise. And it is, but its content is now limited. So sure, I was a little bummed that the Zombies have no downloadable content on Amazon. I figure their label isn't keen on DRM free yet. So imagine my SHOCK to see that 'Time of the Season' in DRM-free form is availible from iTunes! You guys need to get on that! Don't let iTunes have some DRM free content that you don't have!
   
   I am no fan of AAC, even if it is DRM free now in some cases... so please, pretty please, get stuff like The Zombies available as a DRM free MP3!



3. I was very impressed by both the sound quality and the music. I knew a couple of Zombies songs from a while back, but the sound from LP's and tapes was never good. The sound on this SACD remix is vastly superior. It's not perfect, with still a little hiss, but there is much less distortion than the original mix. Also most of the recordings were apparently done with excellent recorders (for the time) because the high-end frequencies are all there! The sound is nearly transparent, like you're actually there in the studio. Back to the music itself, I discovered several great songs that I didn't expect to find. It's quite a blast from the past, and well worth the money.



4. For several years, I had a CD of Zombies greatest hits and was content to enjoy listening to some great old songs from a very talented group. But someone recently gave me this new CD and I can hardly believe the difference! The quality of each track is amazing, revealing subleties not even hinted at in my old CD or, of course, in the original vinyl recording. The CD has all of the Zombie hits and the best of the rest. It avoids the later acid recordings that never caught on with fans on either side of the Atlantic.



5. This, along with "Reggae in High-Fi" was my first purchase of an Audio Fidelity disc. I was very much looking forward to hearing the Zombies (without question one of the greatest Sixties bands) in the SACD format. I have the fantastic 4-disc "Zombie Heaven" box set (Big Beat Records, UK import) which, though it's Redbook and uses the original mono mixes for most of the material, sounds really, really good, and I thought, "well now, the Zombies in stereo, and in Super Audio! It'll be fantastic, even though I've already got all the songs."
   
   Well, unfortunately I confess to some disappointment. The first thing I thought when opening up the package was how cheesy the artwork was. I mean, SUPER AUDIO CD in big alyoominium-type shiny caps across the top, a fuzzy out-of-focus band photo, and some swirly stuff in the background. It looks like the artwork for a Spinal Tap bootleg. Let's put it on and see how it sounds, that's what matters, I thought, so I did. While it is nice to hear these songs in stereo, the mixes seem a bit off (the drums sound muffled to my ears, and the guitars a little tinny) compared to a couple of other Zombies discs I've got (OK, besides the ZH box I've got "The Zombies Collection" from Castle which is in stereo) and the vocals seem to suffer from some sort of compression, EQ, I don't know what. But they're rather flat (as in lifeless) sounding somehow compared to the ZH box. In fact after another couple of listens there's not much doubt in my mind that the ZH box set is much superior to this Audio Fidelity release, sound-wise. Which is somewhat surprising, given that ZH is "only" Redbook audio. (For that matter, it's vastly superior packaging-wise as well.)
   
   Just goes to show that just because it's SACD doesn't mean it's going to blow your mind with it's sonic quality. And all the raves I've read about the genius of audiophile remastering engineer Steve Hoffman now seem somewhat suspect. So I guess the cheese-flavoured amateur-style artwork suits the product within perfectly, after all. Put the cash you were thinking of spending on Audio Fidelity's "Greatest Hits" toward a copy of the Big Beat "Zombie Heaven" box instead (if you can find it). Sorry Steve.

5 comments about Strange Days.

1. This quickly succeeded sophomore release is possibly the closest Morrison and crew ever came again to putting out a disc as solid as their legendary self-titled, and although it does have a few less then perfect entries and perhaps tries to mimic the original formula, most of the songwriting and effortless, innovative band interaction still astonishes with an assured vision never really captured quite the same again in rock.



2. This album is other worldly. I've loved this album for a long time and once i tripped HARD while listening to it. It was pretty intense (..totally bro...haha....ehem..). Moonlight Drive seemed to last for half an hour and the entire room moved to the beat/rhythm of the music but i'm sure most people don't care about such things...i digress. This is great psychedelic music (drugs or no drugs) and probably the weirdest Doors album.



3. somewhat underappreciated masterpiece by the eternal doors... It stands as one of the most coherent albums ever released... with gradual build up of tension with variance, and return to tension pools, with an unbelievably effective ending... Deep thinking and deep sounding rock can not get any better than when the music's over, the only other over- 10-minutes-long studio-recorded masterwork by the doors. The other one being the end on the first album obviously. The album kind of flows like a river with eddies and tributaries, and actually achieves a more consistent line of appeal than their first album which has the weakness of being somewhat less consistent in the choice of song-sequencing, that is: great songs interspersed with much lesser works that often leads to a sense of averaging to mentally sustain the interest. This album is superior in that aspect of maintaining a higher dergee of profundity. this album would be in the top five most underrated masterpieces of rock. i know of no other group that has achieved such a feat of releasing such two great works of art back to back in the same year...KT



4. This album is simply the best Doors LP! No doubt. The entire mood of the album is well...Strange! A complete concept album with some of the strongest writing I have ever heard/read!!
   
   From the title cut right on thru to the end...there isn't a single flaw. This was the Doors at their best and Jim's writing was POWERFUL.
   Get it and you won't be disappointed...why can't they make music like this anymore.
   
   RIP...Jim.



5. Realesed around September of 1967, this album remains to be a classic Doors album. Though not nearly as good as there first debut album, "The Doors", self titled debut, it still is a good album and almost like a part two of there first album. Strange Days is a little more psychedelic than there first album, but they both compare really the same on that level. Classics that came from this album are, Strange Days, Love Me Two Times, People Are Strange, and When The Musics over. Of course there's other good songs on here like, Unhappy Girl, My Eyes Have Seen You, etc.. And really every track on the album. Horse Lattitudes is really just Jim Morrison talking and it has some weird sound effects in the background good song, every song is good on this album. If you really liked The Doors first album than I would recomend purchasing this album,
   5/5 Stars

5 comments about Best of the Monkees.

1. Subject says it all.
   
   I am not an extremely picky audiophile; I can listen to 128k mp3's all day and they sound fine to me. But this is like nails on a chalkboard. Even the Monkees great music can't overcome the limitations of the awful engineering and "remastering" on this album.
   
   From the get-go, the Monkees theme is totally flat, no bottom at all. It sounds like you are listening to AM radio. The rest of the tracks are all over the place, from bad to worse. There isn't a single track on this album that I can even stand to listen to.
   
   I can't believe that this was worked on by anyone who knows anything about music engineering or mastering. It obviously wasn't. The engineer(s) should be fired for doing this kind of work.
   
   I love the Monkees, but this set is a real disgrace to their music. I'm going to be looking for a different 'Best of' collection that sounds halfway decent.



2. if you liked the old TV show the Monkees then you will like this cd there are only a few songs on the lp records that are not on this cd.I totaly recommend buying.



3. I love the Monkees; this CD is a recopilation of most of their hits. Good buy.



4. It is hard to find music for our kids that the whole family will enjoy. We bought Best of the Monkees for our 9 yr old daughter for Christmas. We have had fun dancing and singing to all the music. She was surprised by how many of the songs she knew and how many I remembered.



5. Great cd collection , has most of their hits on it . The sound quality is as good as you can get from that era , the recording equipment back then was rudimentary at best so they have done a good job getting the best sound they could. The only dissapoinment was the straight mono version of A Little Bit Me, Little bit you . Definetly worth the money , you will be tapping your feet all day .
