Compilations Music

This collection is top notch. I am in love with this set! The remasters are amazing. They include so many great attractions, if you close your eyes, you can almost see the attraction in front of you. Amazing set, way worth the price!

What words can sum this up. Wonderful? Magnificent?
There aren't any.
This is a collector's dream.
A 6 CD collection of music from the park (all your favorites are here)along with an excellent color book.
It's a winner!

This has just about everything you can think of from the 50 years of Disneyland's history. Every CD contains tracks from attractions and shows that are either still running, or long forgotten (like "Flight to the Moon" or "Country Bear Jamboree").

As a long time Disney fan and die-hard park goer, I truly enjoyed this set and is a must have for anyone who has been to Disneyland within the last 50 years.

THIS IS JUST A MASTERPIECE, YOU REALLY NEED TO OWN IT, IF YOU DONT HAVE IT, DONT KNOW WHAT YOU`RE WAITING FOR?....
I JUST CANT STOP PLAYING THEM!!...I JUST FINISH WITH ONE CD AND THEN I SWITCH TO THE OTHER, I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH...
HELPS YOU TO SURVIVE UNTIL YOUR NEXT DISNEY TRIP. IT REALLY IS A MUST FOR DIEHARD FANS!!! AND AMAZON SERVICE...IT`S AMAZING...

It is a wonderful set and well worth the price. I'm only 19 so I havent been able to experience many of these rides up close and personal, this is the next best thing!!! I recommend big time!

I have this CD as well as "Top 25 Exitos de Alabanza"
Note that the songs are 'covers' by a group of singers. Also, the lyrics themselves may differ from what you are used to as they have been translated differently from the original English. A few songs have been translated literally, rather than lyrically, so it comes off sounding grammatically and musically off. Also, Maranatha needs to proof read the printed lyrics. Sloppy editing with many orthography errors (spelling, accents ...).

I already knew some of the english versions, so it's great to now have them in spanish.

Gracias, Maranatha! Latin.

Everything was great. The product arrived in a very reasonable amount of time, and in excellent condition. I am very satisfied.

GB5 sounds sooo great on this project! Alessa, Liliana, and Natalie have such beautiful harmonies too! Great job you guys!

It's a must have! GB5 sounds sooo awesome and so does Alessa, Liliana, and Natalie. Great job guys!

This is a wonderful compilation of some of the best gypsy flamenco song I know. The Manitas de Plata songs blew me away. In English, it means "little silver hands." Silver is high in value, and so is the quality of the music. All odf the artist play the guitar super fast it's mind boggling. The music theory is good too. Flamenco is in the Phrygian mode which you'll find some examples of if you look it up online, but the best way to get a feel for this CD is to listen to the samples. On the review that got one star, the person complained about the screeching voices. I could see how the voices would be unpleasant, but the timbre was appropriate for the gypsy style.

This music was not at all what i expected. I was expecting a bit more fun guitar and such, but the singing is what blew it: it sounded like so much screeching to me. Played once. It hurt my ears. Now, its collecting dust.

I had heard about this recording from flamenco aficionados, but was skeptical that a compilation would be true to the form. In fact, it is as if a complete evening of flamenco performances had been recorded live, such is the energy and spontaneity of the singing and playing. Listen to this late at night with the lights dim and a glass of brandy. You won't be sorry.

The performers on this collection are the cream of the crop of grass roots Flamenco. El Loreno's voice is simply mystical. La Paquera holds in her feeling the power and pasion of Flamenco in one person. if you love Flamenco this is a must.

If you want to hear flamenco at its very best you can't do better than to buy this CD. Manitas de Plata was the best of the flamenco guitarists of the 60's and La Paquera de Jerez was the signature female flamenco vocalist of her generation. The other artists on this CD are also the best of their times. Flamenco of our day still has technical virtuousity, but I can't help but think that something essential has been lost, something to do with the soul of this music form.

If you want a nice collection of kitsch mainlander Hawaiian music. This is it. Actually very good musically and vocally.

it was ok cd but Arthur Lyman is much more authentic

Reeve's review which termed this the music of racism couldn't be more wrong. Having lived 30 yearsin Hawaii I can tell you that this is the real thing embodying the spirit of aloha. Mr. Reeves has had his brain corrupted by the racism and greed of Haunani Trask, an part-Hawaiian lawyer, professor and female chauvanist. The modern music he talks about is just Hawaiian hippie junk mixed with the music of a very few talented people.

It is exactly this type of music that perpetuates the degrading and predatory stereotypes of Hawai'i. The whole cd -- and others like it -- is packaged in the same way tourism is packaged: Hawai'i is a sweet, safe place with a servile culture, peaceful history, and disconnection from the "real world." Don't believe any of it. Hawai'i was invaded by the United States in a military coup and native Hawaiians subsequently stripped of power and respect. This is the music of that domination -- like all insidious racism, it is perpetuated "innocently" by reducing an entire people and culture to a cartoon. The real Hawai'i lies beyond Diamond Head in Makaha, Moili'ili, Hanalei. If you want to really know Hawai'i and Hawaiian music, purchase the music of Keali'i Reichel and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and really listen to them. You'll be doing yourself and a millenium of a strong people a favor.

And while you're at it, go look up the author Haunani-Kay Trask!

I searched high and low for a few songs and was glad to find all three on this one disc. The songs I'm talking about are My Angel Baby by Toby Beau, Fool (If You Think It's Over) by Chris Rea and Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone. Most of the rest of the songs on this disc are also by 'one hit wonders' and are well worth the price of the disc if you grew up listening to Top 40 in the 1970's. Enjoy.

I love 70 and 80s music and I was searching for a particular song and found that it, and several other songs I like, were on this CD. Amazon.com is the place to go when you want to purchase music.

If you clicked on the "buy mp3" link then you were robbed as this is a collection of 12 "covers" done by no-name studio musicians. And, the tracks are not the same as the CD that is listed it is an entirely different CD.

Hard to Find 45s on CD, Volume 8: 70's Pop Classics is one of the less common retro CDs because it focuses on pop tunes of the 1970s. I clearly remember these wonderful songs getting a lot of airplay during the 1970s; and this is one great CD for people like me who were born at the very tail end of the "baby boom."

The CD starts with Exile doing their great hit "Kiss You All Over;" the percussion, guitars and the awesome singing makes this a solid retro number. The tempo changes and a few key changes here and there make it an even better number! Suzi Quatro & Chris Norman do their duet of "Stumblin' In;" they sound every bit as good as they did when I first heard this number. Moreover, Hurricane Smith pulls off a major coup with one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard, "Oh, Babe What Would You Say?" Love those strings on "Oh, Babe What Would You Say?," too.

Maxine Nightingale does her zesty number called "Right Back Where We Started From;" this is good solid 70's dancing music. Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.'s "You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)" is another sweet love ballad about true love that always brings back fond memories of junior high school dances.

Chris Rea sings his sultry ballad "Fool (If You Think It's Over);" this never ceases to push my buttons because of the great dance beat and the smooth jazz sound of the song.

But if you want more light pop, listen for Daniel Boone doing his best on "Beautiful Sunday;" I like the way the sound was mixed so that there's a vague echo of Daniel's voice as he sings this. The guitar works well for "Beautiful Sunday," too. John Paul Young's classic hit "Love Is The Air" ends the album as a pop number that has just a twist of disco to it.

The liner notes come in the form of a small booklet and there's also plenty of information about the tracks on this CD. The artwork is very nicely done.

Overall, if you're craving 1970's pop, this is one CD I would highly recommend. The sound is great and we get twenty excellent tracks from many different artists.

This excellent compilation offers something for everyone: great ballads like Kiss You All Over, Fool If You Think It's Over and Emotion, catchy pop in the form of Stumblin' In, Which Way You Goin' Billy, Kung Fu Fighting, Rivers Of Babylon (not really hard to find), Beautiful Sunday and Love Is In The Air, plus some soulful moments with Right Back Where We Started From and Love Really Hurts Without You. The two most eccentric tracks are the vocal masterpiece After The Goldrush by Prelude and the gravel voiced UK singer Hurricane Smith's Oh Babe What Would You Say? His other hit, Don't Let It Die is also something to get hold of. In its quality and variety these songs prove that the decade of 1970s was the golden age of pop. The CD is beautifully packaged with an informative booklet providing information on each of the songs.

All of the songs are pretty good, and Rock Kill's Kid cover of I Turn My Camera On is amazing. Ashtar Command's Into Dust is also very good. These two songs alone warrant a purchase, but with songs like Debaser and Can't It Out Of My Head, it is simply a must for anyone with taste.

I've been a "The OC" fan since the show started so I needed to get this last item to complete my "The OC" soundtrack collection. All the songs are remakes of famous "The OC" songs, such as Smile Like You Mean it. The songs are great but just a little sad, since it indicates an end to the show. But if you love "The OC," this soundtrack is a must!

that guy below has about as much musical savvy as... well, as you might expect from someone bemoaning the cancellation of a TV show about vacuous 20-somethings in orange county. the only reason i even found this mix was because of the pinback tune, but there are other great ones here as well. in fact, i'd probably rank them in exactly the opposite order as this clown, whose taste obviously runs more towards teen pop divas than indie music.

love every song on here and when im going through my oc withdrawal i pop this cd in and i still make believe the show is on the air.

Well the OC is done and gone, but I actually purchased this final tome in the OC soundtrack lineup when it first came out in December 06. As the show's quality declined, I have to say, so did its integration of music. While the first two seasons had fabulous new artists constantly introduced - and in many cases reused - the show's tunes in the latter seasons, particularly S4, fell victim to the desire for elevator, tuneless, tracks rather than melodic and memorable musical screen moments. As such, a lot of songs on this album have a sort of limp feel to them...plenty are skippable, few are memorable, and they don't really depart in some cases from their originals.

Which leads me to the schtick of this album...the songs are all covers of actual songs - I believe most (if not all) of the original songs were at one point aired on the OC, as were the covers of them. I've done my best to try and identify where, because in all fairness, it's a bit easier than past soundtracks (the 5th springs to mind) to place where you heard the songs this time.

Goldspot's cover of Modest Mouse's "Float On" is one of the most enjoyable and replayable tunes - and played during a montage of Katelin & Julie Cooper battling it out on the tennis courts. I'm guessing the original played during MM's appearance at the Bait Shop S2.

Rock Kills Kid's cover of "I Turn My Camera On" is a ridiculously close cover of the original...no clue when either version was aired. Lady Sovereign's "Pretty Vacant" Sex Pistols take is pretty much nothing like the original. I think they used these during party scenes...

I actually kind of dig the mellow version of the show's title song "California" although this is the third time the song has appeared on an OC soundtrack (the 5th features a redux version by Phantom Planet). This song replaced the credits in the S4 Chrismakkuh ep. Ditto to enjoying Pinback's "Wasted" although it like "I Turn My Camera On" comes across very monotone after a few listens. The original Wasted by Black Flag aired during Seth's stoner 'phase' in S3.

Probably my fave song on the album aside from Goldspot's cover is John Paul White's "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", a really sweet cover of an originally quite schmultzy tune. No idea when either version aired on the show, and I'm sorry I missed it in the case of the cover version.

Although I'm usually a big fan of Rogue Wave (their contribution to the 5th album is fab) their song "Debaser" rings very familiar - partially because it features the same monotone + instrument formula found in "Camera" and "Wasted". No real memory of when either version of the song aired sadly. I do heart the Pixies though.

Syd Matters cover of "Hello Sunshine" is another fave of mine. It's just so eclectic and different sounding - just wait till the final couple of choruses for the background chords...gorgeous. The original tune has a lot of meaning for Seth/Summer - as per it played when they first hooked up, and the cover I believe played during some of Seth & Summer's parting moments in the latter half of S4.

I also dug the cover of the Killers "Smile Like You Mean It", which also originally appeared on the second soundtrack with "Hello Sunshine". The original tune came on during the Killers Bait Shop concert. Although the alien sound effects in the chorus of this version aren't to my liking, I suppose the airing of the tune during the kids desert alien road trip was suitable, and overall it's an enjoyable cover.

"Come Into Our Room" has never been a song I've liked - it aired during the Oliver stuff in S1, and the cover is a sloppy steal rather than a true cover. Passed over nearly every time I listen to this disc. I'm also not a massive fan of "The End's Not Near" despite the fact it was the title of the final ep of the series. I just don't like the vocals on this, and otherwise it again sounds like a sloppy ripoff of the original, or at least a bad ripoff of the Smiths.

Finally the album closes out with the epic 9 minute version of Mazzy Star's "Into Dust" as played by Ashtar Command. The song of course originally aired several times in the Marissa/Ryan relationship, most notably in the first episode when he carries her in the house, and the last episode of the S1 'summer season' in Tijuana when Ryan carries Marissa down the alley. I believe this cover also aired during the Chrismakkah ep in S4. Although I think Ashtar Command gets a bit carried away with themselves and loses some of the vulnerability of the original, this is a nice mellow cap-off to the cd.

Overall this album is a mixture of a couple of solid songs (1, 6, 8, 9), a few soundalikes that would make good background tunes for a TV show like the OC (2, 5, 7), a couple of blah covers (3, 10, 11), and a couple of worthy covers of key OC-lore songs (4, 12). It's a good addition to people who own the rest of the series, but otherwise not really worthy of its predecessors.

I NEVER RECIEVED MY ITEM. NO CONTACT WATSOEVER FROM SELLER THAT ITEM WAS UNAVAILABLE OR ANYTHING. I CONTACTED THEM ONCE BY E-MAIL AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. WILL NEVER USE THIS SELLER AGAIN. BEWARE

If I had to choose anything bad about this video, it would be that its not LONG enough! I could watch Allan sing all day long!

You sent me a blank disc. Nothing on it. That's the end of ordering from Amazon. It's rated one star just to get this stupid review filed with Amazon.

I am not familiar with Alan Jackson as I am not a country music afficianado but that does not mean I dislike country music. I think country music is wholesome, down to earth and I can relate to it very much. Not many songs on this DVD but the price is low so not much more can be expected. In my opinion "Remember When" is worth twice the price of the DVD itself. After you watch it you might cry (as I did) or kiss your wife or hug your kids. Beautiful, meaningful. You will not regret purchasing this DVD.

Though informed that these discs would only play in the US...they do in fact play ok in the UK.

The Best of the Girl Groups, Volume 2 has 18 awesome tracks that made so many people happy when they were originally released; and it's great to know they're still here for us to enjoy them even more on CD. There's a fairly good diversity of groups and artists on this CD; and that's a big plus. The quality of the sound is excellent; and I really like that artwork, too.

The CD starts auspiciously with The Angels singing their huge hit, "My Boyfriend's Back." They sing and harmonize flawlessly on this track; and they never falter, either! The percussion is used to great advantage and overall this is a strong number with which to open the album. The Chiffons do one of my personal favorites, "Sweet Talkin' Guy." "Sweet Talkin' Guy" has The Chiffons sounding better than ever; they sing this sweetly even though the melody belies the seriousness of the lyrics. Wow, how The Chiffons could sing! Again the percussion is perfect for the arrangement. Little Eva does "The Loco-Motion" to perfection--and beyond! "The Loco-Motion" is a fine tune that Little Eva does up right; and the music fits in perfectly with her vocals. I love those guitars and drums.

The Toys perform "A Lover's Concerto" without ever letting go of a single superfluous note; and that's grand. The Toys really hit a huge goal with this tune; they bat it straight out of the ballpark! The music is terrific; but wisely the music remains in the background--it never steals the show away from The Toys' vocals--great! The Cookies also do their "Chains" without ever skipping a beat; this has a great early rock and roll flavor to it and I love that handclapping percussion. Listen for The Murmaids to do "Popsicles And Icicles" with panache; this is a very pretty tune and it adds a lot to this album.

The Shirelles perform "I Met Him On A Sunday" really well. The Shirelles always did everything they sang incredibly well; and the arrangement for this is very strong. Robin Wood's "Wonderful Summer" is absolutely adorable; "Wonderful Summer" is quite pretty and sweet. Carole King hits the mark with her marvelous "It Might as Well Rain Until September;" this ballad features Carole effortlessly managing tempo and key changes like the pro she is and always will be! The Caravelles sing their hearts out on "You Don't Have To Be A Baby To Cry;" the handle this so professionally I wonder why they aren't remembered more than they are. What a tune!

"Easier Said Than Done" is quite energetic; and I also like "I Love How You Love Me" by the incredible Paris Sisters. The Paris Sisters were one of the best sister acts of the mid 1900s and just one listen proves it.

The Best Of The Girl Groups, Volume 2 has so much to offer that any fan of this genre of music simply must get this album. Newcomers to early rock and roll as well as the girl groups would do well to get this album, too.

I bought this cd cheap at a local record store. Now I think its wonderful. However Rhino released a lot of these songs on their One Kiss Can Lead To Another box set. That and both volumes cut out populer groups like the Ronettes and the Crystals, or even Darlene Love (You know the chicks you think of when you hear Girl Groups!).All the bonus tracks like I said before are on the box set. Some of these are great but nothing thats really hard to find elsewhere. If your like me and want to hear these women buy The Wall Of Sound Retrospective instead. :)

Girls vol 2 speaks volumes on the tough (almost male only)society of the early rock years , when girl groups not only had to prove themselves more
but also they had to succeed with almost every release.This cd tells the tale.

If your a fan o f the 60's music, this CD is a must to have in your collection.

The sound quality is good and I thoroughly enjoy the music. Yet, I like the selection of songs in Best of the Girls Group Volume 1 than Volume 2. It may be my bias, but I thought that there were other songs by various Girl Groups (i.e. the Crystals) that could have been included.
