Album Description

Jack Wagner, the master musician, actor, professional golfer and soap opera hero has been making great music for over two decades. In 1984, he released his debut album on Quincy Jones' Qwest Records, and locked in a top of the charts smash with the title track "All I Need" For some odd reason, the album was never officially released on compact disc in North America, and to the dismay of his huge fan base, the album itself has been out of print for over a decade. That is until now!

The nice folks at Friday Music are finally issuing the fine "All I Need" album for the first time ever on compact disc in the good old U.S.A. This time around, you get a wonderful remastering by the award winning Joe Reagoso, as well as incredible new liner notes from the superstar producer/ songwriter and original co-producer of this album Glen Ballard ( Alanis Morissette, Chicago, Aerosmith)

This album is filled with 10 incredible performances from Jack including the #1 title track, the follow up smash " Lady Of My Heart", "Premonition", as well as radio favorites " Tell Him ( That You Won't Go) and " Fighting The Nights"

"All I Need" struck a chord with a lot of people back in the 80's. We think this new re-release will spark some good memories for a lot of his fans. "All I Need" is back....complete with wonderful new remastered sound, restored original artwork, a nice essay from Glen Ballard, and of most importance, the ten original songs that begun the successful career of this generations favorite all around renaissance man, Jack Wagner. Enjoy!

Great!.......2007-07-02

I am so happy they have finally issued this on CD! This is still one of my favorite albums from that era. This music is hard to classify--pop with a touch of Van Halen maybe? The lyrics are fun, edgy and intelligent--and the album is as meaningful today as it was back then. I simply love it and will continue to listen to this often in the coming years.

Jack Wagner All I Need CD.......2007-05-07

It was about time that someone re-released this on CD. They were selling imports on EBAY for over 100.00. HELLO. Obviously this CD was in demand and has been for awhile. None of his other CDs even came close to this one. This CD was written, produced and sung perfectly.

Sneak Attack!.......2007-04-04

Not really, I knew this was one of my favorite CD's from the eighties that I waited for a re-issue. It is remastered and sounds good. I wish when these CD's were re-issued, they would include bonus material. Its good to relive my youth but it would be nice to know you got something a little extra after waiting for this release. Although, I cannot remember any of these songs being available as "extended play". I hope he re-releases his other material, as well. People should not be under the impression that you had to be a General Hospital fan to enjoy these CD's. Look at Rick Springfield!

Great album and a shockingly great remaster.......2007-03-16

I've always loved this album. I am sure many people think of it as mere fluff done by a TV actor. On the contrary, Jack Wagner has a very nice voice and Glen Ballard is a very good pop song writer and keyboardist. If you haven't listened to it before, it has the obvious title track which most everyone would recognize. The rest of the album moves in between fast paced songs like "Premonition" to the ballads of "Lady Of My Heart." It's not an album to be taken "seriously", but it is a sweet work that deals with the themes of love and loss. Much better in my opinion to the ilk of today.

Per the reissue, I have to say that I was shocked....SHOCKED by the remaster. Most people might listen to it and think it's "tinny" and "lifeless", devoid of any rap style bass. That's the reality of music production from then compared to now. Vinyl was never capable of producing the loudness a CD is. That's because CDs today are compressed beyond belief to the point they blow your ear drums out. The gentleman that did the remaster work, Joe Reagoso, is someone I have not heard of but he did an excellent job. He's not a hack who merely maximises the tracks so I lose my hearing. Again, some people might be turned off by the fact that the album does not have pounding bass like a modern one and are required to adjust the volume of their iPod. I have the Japanese reissue and it has the qualities of "loud" which sound good at first, but in actuality you loose any dynamic quality to the music. If you want loud, track down a copy of that. If you are looking for something faithful to the music, this is an excellent, very cheap, reissue.

Ballard's liner notes are brief but nice nonetheless. There are no bonus tracks and frankly I don't think there need to be. I'm not even sure there was anything to add as there were no B-sides as far as I can remember. All in all, an excellent buy for 11 dollars!

What could possibly be cooler than hipping kids to some of the best pop music ever made? Music for Little People makes this project simple by producing a batch of the Beatles' sunniest songs performed by a prime adult band and your children's peers and slightly reworked in kid-friendly keys. The result is largely devoid of over-the-top cutesy-poo histrionics--these kids can really sing and the harmonies are quite commendable. Young listeners will be thrilled to sing along on the bouncy chorus of "Life Goes On," to count and do the alphabet on "All Together Now," and to distinguish the amusing sounds of a penny whistle, mandolin, and zither. Both Raffi and blues artist Eric Bibb make guest appearances, but the shining star at this party is child singer Bernie Steinberg, who takes lead on three tunes, including the touchingly performed "Mother Nature's Son" and the amazingly soulful "Birthday." --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews:

Honest Effort.......2007-06-09

The songs of the Beatles are timeless. I loved most of the renditions on this CD, but there were a couple that I would have liked to have been done differently. This is strictly a matter of personal taste, and I'd still recommend it. I have no complaints about the seller, either.

Most songs Pretty Good for young kids.......2007-02-19

My children are boys ages 5 and 6. They love the "Birthday" song on this CD, actually. They also love "Yellow Submarine" and "All Together Now." A few others are OK, such as "Ob-La-Di" and "Octopus's Garden" and "When I'm 64." No, it's not the Beetles singing it, and I personally usually hate cover albums; it's disconcerting at first to hear a different version or different voice singing a familiar classic song. (We usually listen to kids music as well as "real" party songs-type music and other "real" music including even Johnny Cash.) And, yes, it's a little irritating to have some of the intro's by kids, such as a child complaining that it's been raining all winter before the kids sing "Here Comes the Sun." However, my kids (and their friends) do enjoy hearing other kids singing the songs. And I enjoy many of the songs myself. My biggest complaint is that many of the songs are too mellow and deemed to be not very fun by my bunch. Perhaps more suited to younger kids or girls or calmer kids? I would recommend it overall.

Fun version for kids.......2006-09-11

Who can sing Beatles songs better than the Beatles? No one, of course! But it sure beats Barney! Or, at least it's a nice change from many kids'albums. I play regular Beatles' music for my kids too. But they also like this album a whole lot. Another reviewer said that children like to hear children singing and this is definitely true in our case. I think it's well done and I base much of my choices in childrens' music on what I can stand to hear repeatedly in the car. So this one definitey qualifies for that standard. I'd highly recommend it.

lame.......2006-05-27

Birthday is as lame as it gets, except for the version on Bugs Bunny & Friends: Sing The Beatles. The better version is on White Album: disc 2

The kids love it...and I like it too........2006-03-16

My two kids love it --- my daughter since she was 1 and my son since he was 3 - and we've had it for about 6 months now. Ok not all the songs are so great and yes the Beatles sing it better then a bunch of kids do (but kids like hearing kids singing) and every once and a while I try to skip something but my son usually stops me and says "No, I want to hear the ...whatever... song. " They especially love ObLaDi, Octopus's Garden, Yellow Submarine, Birthday and All Together Now.

REAL MUSIC.......2007-01-16

THIS IS MUSIC YOU CAN LISTEN TO EVERY DAY AND ENJOY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

White bread, well-baked in spots.......2005-08-12

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir that performs on this disc is a tightly-knit, well-conducted unit, and some of the tracks on the disc border on the ethereal. "Lead, Kindly Light," "Sweet Hour of Prayer" (in parts) and "The King of Love My Shepherd Is," for example, touch the soul and bring tears to the eyes.

However, on other arrangements the choir sounds like a group of white folks far removed from the remainder of humanity. For example, the opening track, "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty," and also "All Creatures of Our God and King" sound rote and perfunctory, like a group of elementary school students (with very fine voices, to be sure) going through the paces of a daily sing: elevator music on a grand scale. At the opposite extreme, sudden dynamic shifts in other tracks sound pretentious. The final bars of "All Creatures of Our God and King" suggest an attempt at a grand finale, but lack even a hint of majesty or passion. The choir lacks any apparent understanding of the Shaker spirit in "Simple Gifts" --- rather like Lawrence Welk playing Bob Marley. (Not that I've ever seen a Shaker in dreadlocks.) "Battle Hymn of the Republic" begins majestically, but turns into a caricature, and then reverts to a semblance of glory (except for a brief flirtation with a minor key).

The high praise lavished on this disc by other reviewers is no surprise: It is of very high quality for what it is. The choir offers a lovely sound. However, more than half the tracks are seriously flawed, and the musicianship is sufficiently peculiar on the whole as to lower the rating considerably.

This is the one!.......2002-08-24

If you want to hear the best of the best, this CD is it. These hymn arrangements are just beautiful and very touching. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the choir and wants to feel a little closer to heaven. The choir seems to sing literally with one voice and you feel like they are singing just for you. Congratulations to the new conductor, Craig Jessop and all those who contributed to the quality that went into producing this CD.

A Must for the Sabbath.......2002-04-17

I LOVE IT!!! What better way to enjoy the Sabbath than to sing of the Lord's Praises with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? This album is just the ticket! It's very powerful, and uplifting.

What? You mean I can only give this album five stars? But that doesn't even BEGIN to do it justice!

I love it. Truly a masterpiece!

A Must for Sabbath.......2002-02-05

If you only own one Mormon Tabernacle Choir CD, this is the one. It has creative arrangements of many favorite hymns, as well as the best recording of the Wilhousky Battle Hymn arrgmt that I have ever come across. The only downer: it has (another) recording of Simple Gifts, which has been beat to death by choirs in the last decade.

I especially love the 'Glory' pieces on it: Full of timpani, brass, and alleluias- one of those discs you turn all the way up and direct the stereo when noone is looking. I hope my neighbors like it too; they probably hear it quite a bit.

My wife first heard this album and told me about it because I am both a Beatle's fan and a lover of good jazz. On several of these tracks the song was instantly recognizable and on some it took longer. The musicianship is outstanding and I thought the arrangements were creative and enjoyable. Easy listening and fun.

Always listenable, sometimes remarkable.......2007-04-08

By and large, Beatles covers are a dreadful lot.

They tend to follow one of two paths: a one dimensional transposition of melody performed over standard charts or noodling by small combos whose self indulgence rarely resolves itself in a satisfying statement of the melody.

Truly transcendent reinterpretations like those by jazz pianists Brad Mehldau and Fred Hersh are sparse.

The group BeatleJazz--consisting of Brian Melvin on drums, David Kikoski on piano, and Larry Grenadier on bass--has devoted itself exclusively to performing Beatles pieces. This, their fourth outing, is at worst pleasant and listenable. At its best, it is remarkably good.

Joined by Toots Thielemans on harmonica, Richard Bona on vocals and electric bass, and Joe Lovano on saxophone, this collection succeeds best where it takes the greatest liberties.

Some pieces, like Fool on the Hill and The Night Before, fall into the pervasive category of pedestrian covers. All You Need is Love, featuring vocals by Richard Bona, is similarly pleasant but forgettable.

The standouts include Lady Madonna, which defeats expectation at every turn and demands repeated listening and even analysis. In the midst of bold liberties and interpretations, the piece returns to the peg of a signature phase before launching back out on trajectories that take it to rapturous experimentation on the edge of time signatures and sonority.

Also notable is the trio's treatment of I Want You. The dark Beatles original seems an unlikely candidate for the transition to jazz ensemble. More improbable still is the group's decision to underpin the tune with a funky little backbeat. It works.

The Continuing story of Bungalow Bill shows Joe Lovano to his best advantage and the Beatles at their least recognizable. When the theme finally appears, it's almost a taunt, a deft sleight of hand before the music disappears up the sleeve again.

This album is a gamble for both Beatle fans and jazz fans alike. But there's something here that will seduce the radicals on both sides of great divide.

How can you call these "Hymns".......2006-08-05

Not to harp on anyone here, but it's obvious that none of you grew up in a church or environment that had a good choir. I know, a Hymn is a genre of music, but a recording of a hymn isn't one if it doesn't contain HARMONY. If they're a "choir," then why don't the tenors sing a different note than the sopranos, altos, and basses? The organist is quite good, I'll admit, but you're wasting your time if you're looking for a good recording of these beautiful songs that were COMPOSED with harmony, not unison. If they want to sing in unison like this, they need to be stripped of their "choir" status and simply be called a "group."

wonderful collection of magnificent music.......2006-01-18

Most everything on this CD is very well done. The recording environment might have been less than perfect, but that shouldn't dimish one's enjoyment very much. Most of the arrangements are very traditional, with the notable exception of Amazing Grace, which though it isn't terrible, it isn't very good either. Some songs had verses removed, which is understandable, though it was poorly done in Eternal Father, Strong to Save -- they did verse 1 ("Eternal Father"), then they skipped(!!!) verse 2 ("O Christ, the Lord") and went on to the final verses ("Holy Spirit" and "O Trinity") -- which is skipping Someone important! However, outside of that, it was excellent.

If you like sacred music, or hymns, then you'll thoroughly enjoy this CD. If you're a Christian, you should enjoy this as well, no matter your taste in music (and you might just learn to like hymns as well!). It is a well-chosen set of some of the most magnificent, God-honoring music of all time, done is a mostly very traditional manner, and it was done well.

Flawed but enjoyable.......2005-04-15

The huge size and reverberating acoustics of Washington National Cathedral make it difficult to hear any kind of live choral performance clearly, even if you're sitting in the front rows in the nave. The Cathedral Choral Society is handicapped by having to record in this acoustically mushy space, and it shows in this CD, often creating an uneven balance between the organ and the chorus as noted by other reviewers. The repertoire is well-chosen, but the quality of the arrangements is uneven. Too often, the chorus seems to be singing in unison right out of the Hymnal, like any parish church choir at an ordinary Sunday service. Certain pieces do suggest the heights which the Society is capable of attaining. But the group never achieves the splendor that the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys displays every Sunday morning. Just when the Society seems to be getting there, the conductor pulls them back. And the shrill folk arrangement of "Amazing Grace" will have you covering your ears as the sopranos shriek clumsily, confusing volume with fervor.

Hymns through the Centuries.......2002-03-18

This is not a review. I just have a question. Does "Hymns through the Centuries" contain the hymn "It is Well with my Soul?" Thanks.

A must own for classic church music lovers.......2002-02-16

I purchased this CD just based on the titles and am very glad I did. There are only two downsides to the album. First is the fact that there isn't a companion CD with 26 more hymns! Second is picky, but I do agree with another rater that the organ could have been a little louder related to the singing. Hope you enjoy listening!

Customer Reviews:

Not worth buying!.......2007-05-29

I found this recording basically worthless. It contains only very short excerpts of the song. Not enough to get into and enjoy!

Don't waste your money.......2007-01-18

This is the worst purchase I have ever made. It is a truly dreadful piece of work.I was so disgusted with it that I threw it into the trash can.

Perfect for "drop the needle" style tests.......2006-11-19

If you want to hear full recordings of arias, then this disc is not for you. It plays only tidbits of 99 arias. Contrary to the title, this is definitely not the only opera disc you'll ever need. You shouldn't take it seriously. This disc has next to no value for an opera neophyte. But for opera fanatics, there has never been a better test of your knowledge of operatic repertoire and singers. It's a great challenge for opera buffs. Sit down with your opera loving friends for an hour, play this disc, and try to be the first to identify the singer, composer, opera, and piece. If you're a music professor, this disc would make for an awesome pop quiz. Find out how well your students really know their opera repertoire.

A CD with Attention Deficit Disorder.......2006-10-02

I don't know anyone who would enjoy this CD. It will drive opera fans nuts with a hundred exerpts that run about 30 seconds each, then fade out without the singers even finishing a single verse. It's more like an index of arias, or a volume of teasers that hucksters might use to sell opera CDs.

I never realized how much Bernstein's "Glitter and be gay" sounded like Delibes' "Bell Song" until I heard 35 seconds of one, followed 23 seconds of the other.

Maybe the TV show 'Jeopardy' could use this CD. 'What is "Hush little baby don't you..."??'

What a waste of beautiful voices and great music. 38 seconds of Enrico Caruso, followed by 31 seconds of Jussi Bjoerling, followed by 38 seconds of Dawn Upshaw.

My copy is going to go sailing into the wastebasket as soon as I finish this review.

This sucks..........2006-03-31

I should only blame myself for not checking out more reviews... this is a CD filled with short, little snippets of great operas songs... and I mean SHORT, LITTLE snippets of 30 seconds or so, each. Don't buy this CD... it is a complete rip off... and that is saying ALOT since it is only $4.00... Again, my fault for not reading the reviews but I trusted that something called a "Music CD" would actually have complete songs... What else does this company offer? A "Music CD" that only has the intros or applause tracks to great songs...?

Move on to something else... Amazon has a great selection... just not this one.

With the seventh installment of Pavarotti & Friends: For Cambodia and Tibet, the beloved tenor assembles yet another all-star cast of musicians in hopes of helping the children of Cambodia and Tibet. The music of the pop stars--which ranges from the modern rock of the veteran Eurythmics to the dance-pop of Aqua--really steals the show here, with Pavarotti lending his impeccable vocal support. Tracy Chapman performs "Baby Can I Hold You" as a duet with Pavarotti, and Eurythmics team up with him on "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)." Of course, the tenor's fans will be begging to hear the opera great in his element, and it's no surprise that he shines on Bizet's "Agnus Dei," with international pop star Mónica Naranjo joining in; Eduardo Di Capua's "O Sole Mio," with Savage Garden; or even Luigi Denza's "Funiculi, Funicula," with Aqua and a children's chorus. As globetrotting benefit tributes go, this is a mixed bag, but there's probably something here for everyone. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Excellent video...........2002-10-13

I am a fan of Savage Garden, The Eurythmics, and George Michael - all of them did a great job with and without Pavarotti....

And the man who sang O SOLE MIO - Darren Hayes (formerly of Savage Garden)... has the most beautiful- angelic- sultry and great voices I have ever heard - and to do it in Neapoliaton Italian (dialect) and in my opinion the best duet of ALL of them featured!!!!!

Great songs sung by a diverse group of artists.......2002-02-07

As always, Maestro Pavarotti's Modena concerts are highly entertaining and uplifting.
All artists sang two songs during the concert (one on their own and another with Maestro Pavarotti), but unfortunately not all of the songs are featured on this video. Another shortcoming is that there are no interviews or any extra footage.

It is funny to hear Pavarotti sing a pop tune as it is equally funny to see a pop singer with virtually no voice doing "O Sole Mio", but if it is all in good spirit and for charity, then it is enjoyable.

If you are intersted in European music scene or simply love Pavarotti, this tape will be a great treat for you.

Pavarotti's Best War Child Concert.......2002-01-04

Bravo showed this concert on New Years 2002 and it blew my mind. It is certainly the best of the War Child concerts, which started in 1996 as Pavarotti's effort to help the children of war-torn countries.
Like in the previous concerts, Pavarotti appears with international pop stars in the open-air piazza of his home town, Modena, Italy. (How do I get tickets for that?)
If you haven't heard any of these concerts, also available on CDs, you will be surprised how well Pavarotti's voice--a voice that makes the gods swoon--blends with the likes of Enrique Iglesias, George Michael, Tracy Chapman, and the Eurythmics. Previous concerts included B.B. King, Elton John, Ricky Martin, and Liza Minelli. Sometimes he sings along in English, sometimes in Italian counterpoint. The effect is stupdendous! These concerts display all the beauty of this great operatic voice while at the same time honoring the art of our greatest pop artists.
What makes this video the best is the children's chorus, the combined Ars Canto of Parmi, Italy, and the Children's Choir of Cambodia and Tibet. The video starts with this chorus joining Pavarotti and the totally sexy Enrique Iglesias in a rousing "Cielito Lindo."
Pavarotti really knows entertainment and in this one he pulls out all the stops! Best of all, part of the proceeds of this tape goes to benefit the children of Cambodia and Tibet. Pavarotti's efforts to help War Child have already built music centers for children in Kosovo, Liberia, and Guatemala. What great leadership!
He says on one of his jackets: "All too often, children are betrayed by the inhuman actions of adults, and become the innocent victims of war and cruelty. War Child is an energetic, and practical organization offering vital hope, working tirelessly for children to regain their rightful place in the world."

Very diverse! Loved it!.......2000-12-18

I am a HUGE Savage Garden fan so that was the main reason to buy this album. And I have to say Darren's voice is AWESOME in "O Sole Mio", the first time I listened to it it made me cry. So I bought the cd. I was glad to see that there are very enjoyable songs in the album not only the SG tracks. I loved Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You Tonight" performance, now I am a Tracy fan too. You'll enjoy the performances by Aqua, Enrique Iglesias and Eurhytmics and of course the queen Tracy Chapman " ("Telling Stories" is superb!). I even discovered some new artists I had never heard of and I liked them. You won't be disappointed by this album.

A wonderfully enjoyable and diverse collection of music.......2000-11-05

This collection of music has given me great pleasure. Aqua's Around the World is a joy. Hearing the Eurythmics and Pavarotti perform together is fun and beautiful. I also especially liked Enrique Iglesias's Be with you. 20 tracks and 77 minutes of great music I will listen to again and again. And all for a good cause.

Customer Reviews:

Oh! What a sound!.......2007-03-24

The chance to hear "Neither One of Us", "Oh! What A Love I Have Found" and "All I Need Is Time" on CD is worth the long wait for these tracks to come out (although "Neither One Of Us" has been available on CD). These three tracks were produced by Joe Porter and primarily arranged by the most wonderful Artie Butler, with "Neither One Of Us" being a big hit in the early 70's. Yes, these tracks were not the typical "sound" usually associated with the group and it might have been a gamble on both Motown and producer Joe Porter's part. But working with songwriters Jim Weatherly and Bud Reneau paid off with music that takes the group in a different direction and give the magical voice of Ms. Knight a chance to shine in arrangements that truly capture her one of a kind sound. I wonder who suggested to the group to record this music? And, what was the reaction of the powers at Motown to these very special songs? Since "Neither One Of Us" came first, they probably tried to repeat that success with the two Bud Reneau songs. They also cover Sly and the Family Stone and work with Paul Riser, David Van DePitte and H. B. Barnum,all professional hitmakers at Motown. Oh! What a sound, indeed.

Album Description

Patty's first CD "I Don't Need All That" produced by Jann Browne & Matt Barnes has been released to great reviews. Recorded with some of the Finest East Coast Musicians around, six of the ten songs displays Booker's "lived in" writing. "My songs come more from what I feel, where I've been" she tells the L. A. Times. Browne recently said in an interview: "This cd is a depiction of Booker's wonderful talent as a writer and singer. There's not an inkling of pretension. She's pure, raw, roots, country music and she rocks with twang!!

Great Concept, Ho-Hum Results.......2007-05-30

I loved the idea of this album... until I actually listened to it. Most of the tracks sound like aimless noodling, especially the original material (the "introductions" to several songs). On the few tracks that are well-suited to a brass band, such as "When I'm 64", the results aren't bad, though. If only Canadian Brass had chosen to cover more appropriate songs--"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", perhaps, "Because", or even "Only a Northern Song"--they might really have had something.

a cry for help?.......2007-03-22

ANYBODY OUT THERE GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME LIKING THIS CD! well, you may have a point. i know it looks bad on paper: a group of geeky looking canadian guys playing beatles tunes on brass instruments. but i really enjoy this album. the tone here is not cheesy. it really isn't! well, at least not too much. there is an elegant classical feel to this band's delivery, and i have always felt that the beatles melodies lend themselves nicely to classical workouts. who knows: maybe this review is really a cry for help. i don't care. i am recommending this to you (that's right, you), and i really believe that i am not insane in doing so.

This CD is of low quality.......2000-11-17

I believe that this CD is of low quality; Don't WASTE your money. Get another CD, like Canadian Brass Super Hits. Trust me, this CD is boring, and it some of the songs sound have no tune. It's just sounds. Believe me, this is the worst of the CB.

I have played my CD no less than 100 times. Jens Lindeman plays the Picc solo on Penny Lane so precise and beautiful, it is hard to believe someone can play that high that well. Articulation and tonality for a Picc is superb. One of the best albums I have ever purchased. I saw them do this live and they are just as good live . Go get it!
