Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Mamma Mia.......2007-03-22

I have not stopped playing this cd. It is just great! It makes any trip in my car most enjoyable Happy I bought it!

Mamma Mia Musical CD.......2007-03-21

This is a grand list of songs from the original musical when it was first introduced in England. The songs from ABBA are very recognizable even if you haven't seen the show. But, making a trip to NY to see the Broadway production is a plus. ENJOY!

JUST GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-08

I RECENTLY SAW THE SHOW MAMMA MIA IN LAS VEGAS. ALWAYS LIKES THE MUSIC OF ABBA, AND THOUGH THE PLOT WAS THIN, THE MUSIC WAS WELL PERFORMED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM, THE ENGLISH ACCENTS WERE A BIT MUCH, BUT THE SONGS WERE GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA.

Mamma Mia.......2007-01-29

Every time I hear the music and songs it brings back memories of seeing the Broadway Show

Not good at all.......2007-01-09

This is not what we wanted. The British accents throw it was off. We just saw it in NY and this is not what we were looking for.

Better then the other two, even if those are really good..........2007-06-19

Well, I just bought this recently, and I have to say this is a really good CD. But, of course, it's not for everybody. People who liked "The Black Parade" and even "Three Cheers" may not like this, as it is some of the hardest rock out there. Almost all of the songs on this album are at least two times harder than "Hang 'Em High". Also, parents, this CD deserves a PA sticker, as in one of the songs there are eight f-words (all of the songs aren't like that, though).

Absolutely the best one of them all.......2007-05-24

Raw, haunting. Any MCR fan must have this in his/her collection. The only song added that would make it a 6 is "Sister to Sleep" as it exists today (recorded as either a demo or at a club by someone). You will play it over and over and won't be able to help yourself. BUY IT ABSOLUTELY.

My Chemical romance.......2007-05-08

Wasn't sure when I first bought it, but now absolutely love it. The riffs, the lyrics everything we have come to know and love from MCR. This is an album I would highly recommend.

My Chemical Romance.......2007-05-04

I love this album. It's not mainstream, but it's still appealing to people. This album is a must for anyone who considers themselves a fan of My Chemical Romance. It's dark, fast-paced, and filled with meaninful and emotional lyrics. (Pay attention to the lyrics remember) Each song is different in its own way.
~~REASONS TO BUY THIS ALBUM~~
*Headfirst for Halos-Don't get fooled by the upbeat tempo, listen carefully to the words. Really great song, though.
*Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us-This song is great, it has a music video if you didn't know already.
*Demolition Lovers-Starts at slow, but has a fast, loud ending. Who couldn't love this song?! I don't know who...
*Early Sunsets Over Monroeville: A slower song. It has this sort of eerie quality to it I think.
Oh yeah, that's just SOME of the songs on this album. So, anyways this is a great album.

My Chemical Romance.......2007-04-24

Okay, this is a great CD. It is MUCH darker than The Black Parade and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, though. But I still love it because...
~Demolition Lovers: this is the song that I first really loved from My Chemical Romance, more than The Black Parade or Three Cheers stuff.
~Vampires Will Never Hurt You: This is another awesome song, I can listen to it non-stop!!
~Drowning Lessons: I really like this song, too... but what is up with the end, how it stops and then starts again??!!! whatever, it's still good.
Anyways, those are my favorite songs off this CD. So many people only know The Black Parade stuff, but really I think this is so much better.

Album Description

Customer Reviews:

A Happy Uptempo Song........2007-07-03

I could dance all night with this song. Pure Erasure. Get it if you have not own this one. Remixes are great.

the beats keep goin'.......2007-06-12

Lots of value here. Great, upbeat and addictive song offered in various incarnations to satisfy your individual tastes. Erasure maintains their finger on the pulse of what sounds really good and keeps the feet tapping. They've quite simply mastered the art of the perfect electro-pop song, as evidenced by this savory morsel of a single.

Great single!.......2007-05-12

I love the new song! The mixes are just as good, if not a little better than the album version. The album mix is pure classic Erasure stuff, and if you love Erasure you will be so glad! I am eagerly awaiting the new full length cd in May!

They've Still Got It............2007-05-10

What can I say? "I Could Fall in Love With You" is the kind of giddy, up-beat, care-free music that caused me to fall in love with the music of Erasure 20 years ago. But the really cool part is that the technical quality of this new single is, as usual, slightly ahead of contemporary. Electronica has come along way since "Speak and Spell" and "Wonderland", and with the notable exception of "Loveboat", Vince has always been ahead of the rest. Furthermore, in my humble opinion, Andy's vocals have never been more energetic. I'm counting the days until I receive the complete album, and I'm looking forward to more remixes.

Back and in the grrove.......2007-04-08

I love this new single.

It a return to form for the boys. I can't wait till the full album is released in May. And they're part of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors 2007" Tour this summer. Can it get any better?

Amazon.com

Elton John doesn't seem like a natural choice to write for a Disney musical, but he rose to the task on The Lion King, transcending his usual penchant for the softest of soft rock. Sir Elton's collaboration with Tim Rice (former writing partner of Andrew Lloyd Webber) helps connect the soundtrack to the theatrical lineage of all Disney musicals--so much so that, like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King was eventually adapted for Broadway. Undistinguished songs like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" are far outnumbered by stirring, stately tunes that lent the film so much of its sense of pageant and play. --John Sanchez

Customer Reviews:

fun but flawed.......2007-05-07

in 1994, the lion king came out and broke records. the film itself took in an astounding 312 million dollars in the us. that makes it the highest grossing hand-drawn animated feature EVER (an accomplishment that will never be toppled since niether disney nor dreamworks is producing hand drawn features any more). that year at the oscars it also won two awards for the musical score and best original song (three of its songs were nominated0. so how does the music really stand up compared to other disney features.

first off there's hans zimmer's score. his score is both powerful and moving. it brilliantly incorperates elements of local african music (provided and arranged by lebo m) these elements give it a great feeling of belonging not only to the film but to it's setting. without these tribal elements the score would have been far less compeling. one small problem is when the score abandons these elementsl; they're not carried through in all of the music. but its not enough to be a real distraction. the power of the score allows the listener to feel the wildabeast charging or smell the rain falling during the monsoon or experience the brilliance of the circle of life.

SCORE 5 out of 5

the songs had music by elton john and lyrics by tim rice. the following is a song-by-song breakdown.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE - this is a great opening number with powerful vocals provided by carmen twillie and impressive african-inspired vocals in the beggining by lebo m. with the actual film, this is not only a moving but inspiring piece of cinema. even without, this is a great song that still gives me goose-bumps. this definately warranted its oscar nomination
5 out of 5

I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING - this is a really fun song by simba and nala along with zazu. its infectious beat and lyrics definately leave u humming. this may not be the most memorable song, but it definately captures the youth and innocence of simba at this point
5 out of 5

BE PREPARED - this is scar's big number so to speak. it features the hyenas in a very dark yet memorable song. the rhaspy vocals and wonderful musical arrangements make this a great piece that is both eery and impressive.
5 out of 5

HAKUNA MATATA - this is the second oscar nominated song, and although its fun buddy type number, it does get old and doesnt really age as well as the rest. this is honostly one of the weakest songs, believe it or not, its good but just cant really hold up to the other stronger pieces.
4 out of 5

CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT - here it is, 1994's oscar winner for best original song. honostly i feel that the circle of life deserved that award, but here's the song that got it. the film's version is very romantic, especially for featuring a couple of lions, timon and pumba's parts are funny, but it is simba and nala's portion that takes it home. btw elton john's version at the end is a definate winner.
5 out of 5

SONGS OVERALL - 5 out of 5

so if the score gets 5 and the songs get 5, why does the album only get 4? the answer's pretty simple. for the first time since 1989 with the little mermaid, two composers helped on this film. one provided the film's score and one provided the music for the songs. because two composers worked on this, it feels a little incohesive at times. this isn't really noticible within the film but on the soundtrack it definately stands out. elton john and hans zimmer both did a great job and the only really saving factor are the african rhythms that they both used. although this is a great soundtrack, that lack of unity does bring it down.

despite that minor flaw, this is a must-own for any disney fan or music fan in general. this is a great soundtrack that ranks right up there with beauty and the beast and must never be forgotten.

Simply Perfect.......2007-04-09

This is hands down one of the best Disney soundtracks ever! Elton John came up with some killer tunes here! The opening song always give me goosebumps!

Great Album!.......2007-03-31

This album is great, but I can't seem to find the part where simba and scar fight at the end. i was thinking it would be on "King of Pride Rock" but its not... so i'm a little disapointed in that. (thats one of my favorite scenes for some reason) other than that, i love the songs.

Wonderful, if only for the instrumentals.......2007-02-14

The songs with lyrics are cute and memorable, but the strength of this album is in the last four songs. Listen to "This Land" and it instantly transports you back to the scene with Simba and Mufasa laying under the stars, and then to the scene where Simba sees Mufasa in the clouds. Listen to "...To Die For" and you feel an intense claustrophobia as you relive Mufasa's last moments and Simba's discovery of his father. Listen to Under The Stars and you can practically hear Simba screaming, "You said you'd always be there for me!" And when King Of Pride Rock comes along, you can feel your heart swell as you see Simba take his place on Pride Rock. The instrumentals are incredible works of art that never fail to draw intense emotion.

Wonderful Soundtrack.......2006-11-16

I'm writing this review not of the release of this Special Edition, but of the music contained within. Disney's release and re-release of products is nothing new. It's one of the reasons that Disney is so strong in the market today. With that said, I have to admit that this is one of the best Disney soundtracks that has ever been cut to a disc. I never owned the original release of this music, so I'm glad that Disney did decide to re-release the original work with a few extras as part of the "The Lion King: Special Edition" release. Everything on here is wonderful, and the score itself was key to the development of the story. Selections such as "King Of Pride Rock" and "To Die For" encompass the emotional ups and downs of this film. Elton John's music is also wonderful on this disc. His most notable offerings are "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "Circle of Life." His only downfall is "I Just Can't Wait To Be King," which should have been left to the youngster who performed Simba's singing voice. It comes acrossed as forced by Elton John as he performs it.

The "extras" for this Special Edition include a mild and unnecessary remix of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "The Morning Report," which is included on the Special Edition DVD release. Neither add to the collection, but it is nice to have "The Morning Report" on the disc.

Overall, this is one of Disney's strongest soundtracks. In my personal list, I rank it in second place behind Phil Collins' wonderfully tribal "Tarzan" soundtrack. If you don't already have the "Lion King" soundtrack, I highly suggest that you purchase this special edition copy if you are a true fan of the film or of Disney soundtracks in general.

Highly recommended.

An excellent collection of songs........2006-02-01

Being that I was born in the mid-eighties, I did not have the priveledge of growing up listening to music of this sort. When I found this CD among my dad's collection I decided to give it a listen because I recognized some of the songs. I'm very glad I did!

I greatly enjoy almost all of the songs, in particular The Kinks "All Day and All of the Night" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens.

The rest of the songs are top-notch "oldies" as well, easily recognizable classics. The only song I don't really care for is "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" by Jan & Dean, though it is still an okay song.

Overall, I would certainly recommend this CD... when you find one both a father and a daughter can easily enjoy together, it must be good.

Shame on the KID who put this one together.......2002-11-18

This is one BAD example of the music of this decade. First, the 60s started on JAN.one but I guess that dosen't count!
If your looking to get a handle on where R+R (all) comes from this turkey an't it.

I know all of the songs!.......2002-01-23

I hate compilation CD's that are supposed to be the best of something but manage to be the best of whatever singles the producer had lying around in the backseat of his car. This CD, however, is what it claims to be. I've never seen a compilation album with so many hits and so many recognizeable tunes. All of these songs are fun to listen to and the few songs you may not recognize are catchy 60-ish sounding riffs anyway. This is, by far, the most versatile CD I own.

A gorgeous CD.......2000-06-23

Hello. It's a real nice collection most of all because it includes some artist i thought I never heard again. Some of them as The Kinks, The Vogues or Jan and Dean aren't easy to find in some other collections. The sound is excelent and the artists are well selected. Congratulations.

Wonderful Find.......2007-05-23

This is my favorite baby gift to give. Beautiful remakes of well-known songs - very soothing for infants and small children and it is actually enjoyable for the parents as well. I highly recommend this album.

I was verklempt.......2007-04-10

The first time I heard this CD I listened to the entire album with a big lump in my throat. It is amazing that no one had used popular rock songs as lullabys for a complete CD before. There is a tenderness and warmth in this collection that is not found in most baby music. If you care for Linda Ronstadt at all these songs will move you beyond whatever you expected. I only wish she would now do another set in Spanish.

We STILL love this music.......2006-11-26

I bought this when my 10 year old was a baby. It is calm, soothing and more fun to rock a baby to than any other "lullaby" CD. My youngest (she's 8) still listens to it every night. I enjoy giving it as a baby gift for new "rockers" to enjoy!

Great "Baby Rockin' Tunes".......2006-11-10

I have this CD for myself and love it. It occurred to me that it would be a great CD to rock babies to....great songs from the 60's, but Linda sings them softly and beautifully. So, I decided to give this CD as parents-to-be gifts. The rocker will love the tunes as much as the rockee.

My All-Time Favorite Lullaby CD .......2006-11-03

This is my all time favorite lullaby music. The music is calm and flows from song to song. My two children listened to this constantly from the time they were born and still at ages three and five listen on ocassion to relax. These are familiar songs in a lullaby format that I enjoy. I give this as a gift to all new parents I know. This is a must for the nursery and the only lullaby music you will need.

Jett-ilicious!.......2007-07-01

I LOVE this CD! Bonus material! Joan Jett..... and the ORIGINAL Blackhearts! My favorite BONUS tracks are the remakes of "Summertime Blues" and "Louie, Louie". Only Joan Jett can make an old song SING!

Classic.......2007-05-25

This is my second time buying this CD. The first time, someone from Black Heart Records told me to send my CD insert to thjeir office in NY to get signed by Joan Jett, Its been well over a year and I never got it back. So I had to buy the CD all over again, just to have the cover!

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts I Love Rock 'n' Roll.......2006-12-17

I just picked up this CD today at Wal-Mart in Grand Forks and I loved it. I don't think I've had any other CD in my CD player all afternoon. the songs I liked are "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", "Little Drummer Boy", "Nag", "Louie Louie", as well as others. I highly recommend this CD, especially if you're a fan of rock and roll music like me, even though one of my first loves for music was the Backstreet Boys (giggles). Anyway, I definetly recommend this!

Covers Girl.......2006-12-07

Joan Jett's second solo album, I Love Rock 'N Roll, provided her musical identity. The song "I Love Rock 'N Roll" had been recorded in 1976 by an English group called the Arrows as a b-side to one of their singles. Joan saw them play the song on a TV show while on tour with the Runaways, and wanted them to record it. Joan recorded an earlier version on the b-side of one of her solo singles, then re-recorded it in its best-known version, which hit number one on the charts. The black-and-white video was played endlessly on MTV, and the poster for the album was hung on the wall behind the MTV veejays. The album is a classic slice of hard rock bubblegum; Ritchie Cordell and Kenny Laguna mixed Gibson guitars with compressed Gary Glitter-style drums to produce Joan's catchy, hard-edged sound. The late addition of guitarist Ricky Byrd to the sessions gives most of the songs a playful urgency. Crunchy originals ("Love is Pain," "Victim of Circumstance") are blended with rowdy covers ("Nag"- The Halos, "Crimson and Clover"- Tommy James and the Shondells, "Bits and Pieces"- Dave Clark Five, "You're Too Possessive"- Runaways) in a nonstop romp of 80s hard rock that melts in your ears like sugar, sugar.

A "Digital Mastering" that's worse than the original .......2006-01-25

I grew up listening to these songs when they were new, and own well over fifty '50's-Rock CDs, so I know how these songs sound, and I almost always LIKE digitally remastered songs. (For example, see my review of "Elv1s 30 #1 Hits.") Thus I was quite surprised that something sounded off when I played this CD in a low-fi environment (at water aerobics, through Tivoli Songbook radios that have 2.5 inch speakers).

My guess is that the "Digital Mastering" consisted of eliminating some static by basically eliminating essentially all high pitched sound (probably all sound above about 10 mhz), and boosting the bass. Conceptually the idea sounds good. In practice, it doesn't work for me, because: gone is the zing of the higher guitar notes and vocals, and the most noticeable effect on the bass is higher distortion. This problem is particularly noticeable with "Chantilly Lace."

Perhaps on a bottom-of-the-line boombox (such as GPX or Craig) this "Mastering" actually would sound better than the originals.

For a far better '50s-Rock collection, one need go no further than the "Better Together" CD listed; that CD is: "The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 50's."

duplicate item.......2005-08-09

recieved & was charged for two of these (2 seperate shipments) - returned the duplicate. waiting for credit

Not a bad compilation CD........2004-07-26

One of the on line reviews I read stated that these tracks were not by the original artists, which made me debate whether or not to return the CD. I decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed it.
Except for one track I believe these are the original artists.
I have my doubts about Love Potion #9. But Summertime Blues and
Rumble make up for it. Also, I don't remember at all Bill Haley's recording of R O C K. Overall it's a good compilation. It's a keeper.

Terrific Little CD.......2004-06-02

This is an excellent compilation of 50s hits. The lineup is solid, but the remastering isn't notable and more songs could have been included. Nevertheless, in the glut of compliations where the tracks aren't the original hit recordings, this is a terrific little CD.

I love rock & roll; hits of the '50s.......2003-11-06

This is, by far, the worst CD I have ever heard. I grew up in the '50s and know that these are not the original artists who are listed. Whoever is pretending to imitate them is not even close. The musicianship and recording qualities are horrible; if the songs had been done well by other musicians, it would not be quite such a disappointment!

Shagging down memory lane.......2001-05-31

This is one of my favorite CDs.(OK, so I'm getting to the age where I'm sentimental.) I loved Beach Music when I was younger, and that hasn't changed. If you ever heard these songs on the Carolina beaches, you can't pass this up. It's worth every penny. If you recognize some of the songs, but never heard of beach music, you've got some catching up to do; but it's never too late! This one is definitely a keeper.

Everyone should own this!.......2000-11-29

This is a great cd. It really covers some of the great beach music that is out there! If you buy any beach music cd, this should be the one! I hope everyone enjoys as much as I have!!

I bought this for my boyfriend. He is from N. Carolina and was complaining that he could not find this music on CD. He was so happy when he received this! He started doing the shag!
