5 out of 5 stars A whole lot of memories.......2007-05-07

I had this 3 record album back in college in the early 80's. This was one of the standards for our dorm parties. I lost the third record. I have been searching for the CD for years. I love Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's music and this one is classic.

5 out of 5 stars Dirt, Silver and Very Gold.......2007-01-29

Awesome album and a must for anyone into the bluegrass/country genre but likes a little rock and creative orchestration thrown in. Great covers and signs of better times--who would dare cover "House at Pooh Corner" these days? Tons of great music in this double album. Put it on, kick back and you'll be hummin' and singin' along before you know it.

5 out of 5 stars Last of the good albums.......2007-01-06

This is one album I have in vinyl, on tape, and now on cd. This has the good songs, the memories and the good times. After this, I lost interest in most of what the Dirt Band was performing. Either I grew up or they changed or just maybe, both.

5 out of 5 stars NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND DIRT SILVER & GOLD.......2006-11-10

Dirt Silver & Gold is a great CD. I owned a copy of the original two album set. The CD has been remixed and sounds great. The CD contains a great collection of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands best songs. I highly reccomend this CD to all Nitty Gritty fans.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2006-05-08

Nothing will ever replace the fold-out cover and enclosed book and poster of the original vinyl packaging, but the songs...and the sound. It's all here. And it's outstanding.

5 out of 5 stars The Virtuoso of the Panpipes!.......2006-05-17

Yes, everything you could ever wat from this Crazy Panpiping Virtuoso is in this set so look no further. Almost every song from the Lonely Shepherd CD is on here, plus about 28 more songs for about 2-3 dollars more...so you're definitely getting a better deal.

What can I tell you about "the Zamf" that you don't already know?
Probably nothing if you are reading my review because you are probably already a Zamf-head. Buy this CD and get ready to be so moved that you cry alone while playing this and think about other music that "The Zamf" could do in his style..only better.

And if you are into 70 year old Chinese Widows....yes you heard me right...you play these Cd's for them & they'll be dropping their Depends for you in no time.

It's all here folks..Enjoy :)

    Album Description

    Not your typical psychedelic pop record, this was the brainchild of Marshall Chess (son of Chess Records founder Leonard), who wanted to take the Beatles' innovations of classical instrumentation, phenomenal production values, and crazy experimentation to their extreme. He assembled a very talented team: arranger and composer Charles Stephney went on to tremendous success with Earth Wind & Fire; band member Sidney Barnes was soon to work with George Clinton; and backup singer Riperton would later make her name as a solo artist. The arrangements rely heavily on choral singing, plus organ and strings, and occasional sitar, theremin and tabla: no guitars to speak of. The record integrates classical methods better than anything else going on at the time. This album will definitely be of interest to students of '60s psychedelia. Universal. 2006.

    4 out of 5 stars A Hip-hop Hit with deep touches of Blues Music.......2006-03-18

    I believe this song is the starting point of a new direction for hip-hop music (read title).

    Song structure breakdown:
    1) Rap by Kanye West.
    2) Singing (in blues style) by Jamie Foxx.
    3) A very heavy but simple beat.

    The lyrics of the rap segment describes/speaks of the problem in the relationship. The singing expresses the woes/disappointment. Jamie Foxx his singing is inspired by Ray Charles. The beats increases the intensity of the music.

    This "fusion" is a very daring attempt from Kanye West that needs to be praised. The song is produced minimalist in nature. However, it is able to deliver a strong emotional message about a man's woes of a woman of the namesake.

    Looking forward to more of such music from him. A master of hip-hop at his creative best.

    5 out of 5 stars Catchy........2006-02-08

    I'm not a big fan of rap/hip-hop/whatever you want to call it, but I really like this song.

    4 out of 5 stars Kanye and Jamie are Professors in the Music Era of 2day.......2006-02-06

    what do you expose? They're the best out there. They're like to be describe as Geniuses, but people with alot of hard work and credit. Happy 'Ye (which I call him for short) and Jamie Foxx are going home with the Grammy in they hand at the Grammys Wednesday Night (Feb 8). Looks like it's gonna be better, postive and very strong since last year and the year before 2005.

    This is my favorite song to date of 2005 alongside "Ordinary People" by John Legend, "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent, "Go" by Common, "Touch" by Omarion, need I say more?

    This shows Jamie Foxx and Kanye were they heading thru they careers. I got mad love for 'em. This song features a sample from the Ray Soundtrack (the movie was fantastic), "I Got a Woman" (that's a bad song!!!) and it incls. well hip hop beats produced by Kanye. Wish I coulda co-produce the track with him, that would've been more exciting. What if I add horns to the top for this track. That is me playing, me arranging, me doing most the other stuff? MisterMaxxx, nice try. Try to stay cool. Your review was real ok. Try to dig deeper.

    2 out of 5 stars just ok.......2006-02-05

    I'm tired of Kayne West. He ain't that good Musically. a few alright cuts,but not worth no 8 grammy Nominations. this song is alright. true story about Gold Diggers which means it will never end sad to say,but this song is just alright. Jamie Foxx on the Hook still eating off Ray charles's plate.time for Jamie Foxx to get some new Dishes or get some Dixie paper Cups&Plates.Brother Man is wearing out Ray Charles's Plates,Knives,Forks,Spoons&paper towels with still mimicking him. I dug the Movie "Ray" but this is getting Old.He does it again for Luda for "Georgia". but anyway this song is just aight at best.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!.......2007-02-05

      In the mid-to-late '80s, it was impossible to go anywhere without hearing the Stock, Aitken and Waterman sound (otherwise known as S-A-W). Their sugar-pop sound, assembled on their well-oiled assembly line was detested by critics, but loved by music fans, who couldn't resist S-A-W's penchant for making catchy, albeit empty, songs. From Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round" to Kylie's "I Should Be So Lucky" to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up", nobody made catchier pop than S-A-W. Those hits, plus many others are featured on this 3-disc set, which captures a memorable era (roughly 1985-1990) of pop music. I'm sure critics still hate it, but come on, admit it: you love S-A-W!

      This excellent compilation is worth the import price.

      3 out of 5 stars Great for what it is...........2006-12-09

      ...but there is one major flaw, in my book anyway: there is absolutely no inclusion of Sigue Sigue Sputnik. What happened? Compilers saw fit to include the likes of Cliff Richard (???...to quote The Young Ones, "Oh Cliff, sometimes it must be difficult not to feel as if, you really are a cliff, when Fascists keep trying to push you over it, are they lemmings? Or are you Cliff? Or ARE you Cliff?"), but did not include the fall out boys of Generation X? Whatever. Still, it's a very good compilation, with a nifty difty DVD that can be bought separately. But, if you're looking for those SAW mixes and the like of "Success" and such by SSS, go for one of their (SSS) compilations.

      5 out of 5 stars 1989 Again........2006-05-08

      Their songs are shamelessly formulaic, beat-driven, just-add-water dance pop. Still, I give this compilation five stars, the highest rating you can give to any product on this website. You think I'm nuts? Maybe I am, but it's in the opinion of this reviewer that Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, and Pete Waterman were among the best songwriters of the mid-to-late 1980s. During that time frame, these guys ruled the UK (and, to a much lesser degree, the US) charts with their flighty, perky pop hits that resulted in platinum discs and Number Ones for Kylie, Dead or Alive, Rick Astley, and Jason Donovan among others. It'd be technically impossible to compile every major SAW hit on a 3-CD set, but "Gold" is still worth your time. For one, the songs are superbly remastered, and for this American reviewer, I'm hearing many of these tracks for the first time on CD. This set has the predictable hits from Kylie, Jason, Rick, and Bananarama, but the true thrill is listening to the lesser tracks, some of which have long been out-of-print. Brother Beyond's Mowtown-lite confections "The Harder I Try" and "He Ain't No Competition" sound even better today than they did in 1988. Divine's flamingly fierce "You Think You're a Man" appears twice: the single edit and the extended 12-inch version. Sonia's "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" and "Big Fun"'s Jacksons cover "Blame it on the Boogie" are cheesy fun, while Samntha Fox's guilty pleasure "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" is Ni-NRG bliss. Those who like their pop high on the cheese factor will find delight in the Reynolds Girls' "I'd Rather Jack," a song so aggressively awful that it qualifies as a dance camp classic. We get a triple dose of this single: it appears in its editied and 12-inch version (Disc three has 10 extended 12-inch tracks), and it's included in the 13-minute PWL Megamix. This isn't the first SAW compilation of this kind, but for those who want remastered quality and to relive the glory years of the 1980s should click "add to cart." Give me Stock Aitken Waterman over Britney, Justin Timberlake, and the Backstreet Boys any day.

      3 out of 5 stars S/A/W for dummies.......2006-03-25

      Pete Waterman spews out yet another compilation which I call 'The Hit Factory volume 6'. And yes there were five such compilations prior to this release all that are now out of print and hard to find except on ebay. This set is not much different than the rest except it has three CD's, one of which contains only 12" versions of various songs.

      If anyone was an avid collector of S/A/W, they'd have 95% if not all these songs in their cd/vinyl/mp3 collection. This CD set would be excellant for those just discovering the wonder that is S/A/W, but long time fans would be tired of the same old songs (even if they are classic staples) showing up on every compilation. Granted, there are a few songs that are real gems such as Donna Summer's 'I don't want to get hurt' (the remixed 7" version apparently), the cheesy, yet catchy version of Big Fun's Blame it on the Boogie and the brilliant 'Listen to your Heart' by Sonia. Personally they should've left out 'I'd Rather Jack' by the Reynold Girls. The song is simply dreadful and hard on the ears. The video (I'm not sure if this is available on the DVD version of S/A/W GOLD) is a major eyesore; corny is an understatment here. Not only does the song appear as the normal radio version, they HAD to include the 12" version AND in the megamix! Enough already! They also should have left out Ferry Across the Mercy and Let it Be. Put in some rare songs in place of these dreadful remakes!

      Included in CD2 is Mandy's version of Kylie's 'Got to Be Certain' which is just Mandy's vocals inserted into the original production. Not really anything special. Kylie's more suited for the song, in my opinion anyways.

      CD3 has only 12" versions of various S/A/W songs including the wonderful Mad March Hare mix of Kylie's 'Better the Devil', the boring, droned out 'Roadblock' by S/A/W themselves and a megamix. S/A/W does not excel in sequencing their songs as 'A Ton of Hits' proved, but if you want to complete your collection, here is a new megamix for your listening pleasure (or displeasure...).

      If you want a great S/A/W related non-stop megamix CD, I strongly suggest 'Dance Paradise - PWL Perfect Hits' which is a Japanese release and a bit expensive, but very much worth it. Do a search. This was not sequenced together by S/A/W themselves and it shows.

      Here's hoping that Hit Factory volume 7 (probably called Stock Aitken Waterman Gold II) will have some thought put into the song selections.

      3 out of 5 stars Wrong versions.......2006-01-29

      Spent $30 on this as an import, hoping that the 11-minute version of "Say I'm Your number One" by Princess would be included. The "12-inch version" is the same un-remixed track that was reissued at a budget price by Disky on "Maximum 80s."

      Ben Liebrand, please, please, please, put the right version of "Number One" on the next "Grand 12-inches," and next time, guys, why not ask a DJ or a 12-inch retailer which versions are the rarest and most in need of reissue?

        Never been all THAT thrilled about remixes,but this compilation is well assembled, I thought. On disc one,you get basically a fifteen track anthology of tunes like "Dear Prudence", "Cities In Dust", the inspiring "Happy House", "Christine", my all time Siousxie&The Banshees favorite "Spellbound", "Killing Jar" and the rather dark "Arabian Knights". Disc two provides nine(9)remixes, some are of cuts that I've already listed. Pretty much aimed at long time Siousxie fans. Well worth checking out.

        4 out of 5 stars Hits and mixes........2005-11-28

        This most recent collection reminds me of another one they put out. Maybe because this one is exactly the same, track for track, as the limited edition "Best Of" from 2002. I don't know what the point is, they're both imports and expensive. However, based on what's included it's a decent package. Disc one is simply 15 of their most popular songs, while disc two is 9 remixes. I would prefer a 30 track 2-disc collection myself, but they didn't ask me. That one is probably still a few years off. Overall I'd say casual fans could just get the single disc "Best Of". Though the mixes are done well, this is more for fanatics. Or the "Once..." and "Twice Upon A Time" collections are a good choice too.

        Thats right! I bought a WHAM! cd - who wants to fight me about it. I listen to it and i love it - club tropicana - drinks are free - fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone.

        5 out of 5 stars Truly Heaven.......2006-07-09

        There are often times where there are so many great acts, but there aren't that many reliable, and definitive greatest hits record for those artists. That has been the case with so many great performers within the past couple of years from acts like Britney Spears, and Madonna. Nevertheless, there are those that have delivered. That arguably has been the case with Wham! Since the duo of George Michael & Andrew Ridgeley enetered from Britain back in the 1980's, they still are a guilty pleasure for anybody to get up and dance to. Although the group hasn't reunited, the songs are still good enough to sing with. This collection of their songs says so.

        Wham's The Final is a real well-definitive reflection of George Michael & Andrew Ridgeley, and what this great group shine back in the 1980's. The songs here have all been restored, and remastered very well here. Unlike other hits packages from Wham, this record has delivered without anything overlooked. All the great classics are highlighted here like Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, the soulful Careless Whisper, The Edge Of Heaven, Bad Boys, Young Guns (Go For It), I'm Your Man, and Everything She Wants, Club Tropicana, and Freedom. Unlike the 1997 WHam hits package, this one is the one that still remains definitive.

        Nevertheless, it is quite sad that the Wham's The Final hasn't been released here in America, unless it is a import. This is a great collection, and well worth buying for anyone who loved the group, or if you are just a fan of 80's music, I absolutely love this record a whole lot.
