DORIS DAY.........ALWAYS A WINNER.......2007-06-26

This double set by Doris shows once again what made her the best female singer in the history of show business SECOND TO NO ONE! Others have placed her second to Ella Fitzgerald...Come On...Get Real! There's NO competition. Ella scatting away or Doris singing "You'll Never Walk Alone"...it doesn't get much better than that.
The Hollywood Lp (only one half of the original release) shows how the songs SHOULD have been sung originally, and the Religious Album shows Christians how songs like these should be sung.
You go, Girl.....She's the very best!

Hank certainly didn't do it this way..........2007-01-28

These are what I consider the last few good records Waylon cut before the string of bad records. In his auto biography he talks about cutting these records high as a kite on Cocaine.

Two great seventies albums.......2005-05-26

The pairing of these two albums appears a little odd but many of Waylon's seventies albums had already been released on CD. Still, both albums are well worth hearing and Waylon's fans everywhere will welcome this twofer.

The first album here (Are you ready for the country) was recorded when Waylon was at the peak of the outlaw phase of his career. Apart from the brilliant title track, it features many other outstanding songs including Can't you see (written by Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band), MacArthur Park (an incredible version of this classic song), Couple more years (also recorded by Dr Hook at around the same time), Old friend (about Buddy Holly) and Precious memories (the gospel classic).

The second album (What goes around) was recorded just three years later but by that time Waylon's sound had changed somewhat. The style may be different but the music is still brilliant. On this album, the first five tracks are generally up-tempo while the second five are generally slower, more reflective. The album opens with I ain't living long like this (a Rodney Crowell song also recorded by Emmylou) but my favorites here are It's the world's gone crazy (the lyrics may seem crazy at first but the song makes sense if you listen to it a few times), Ivory tower and Come with me.

Most of Waylon's seventies albums are now available on CD. If you are a Waylon fan, make sure that you buy them before they go out of print. This twofer may not be the highest priority among those available but it is certainly deserving of a place in any collection of Waylon's music.

Brings back memories.......2003-11-07

It was back in the late 1970's and I was a teenager who loved to listen to Waylon. These songs are classic "outlaw" waylon at it's best. Back in the mid 1970's Waylon released "Are You Ready For The Country" continuing on in the tradition of "Ramblin' Man", "This Time", "Honky Tonk Heroes" and the other albums he had been doing since breaking free from the "Nashville" production on the earlier sessions (they were good, but sounded like all the other Country artists on RCA at the time)... Waylon however wanted to do it his way and nowhere is it more evident than on "Are You Ready For The Country".
This set begins with the rocking title cut then he eases down with "So Good Woman" which sounds like it must have been directed straight at Jessi "You know I've run around all my life/You could've done better cause you've been a good wife"
"Them Old Love Songs" is the third track and talks about someones wish to find a love "like people do in them old love songs"... I could go on and on, but one of my favorites on here is "MacArthurs Park". Waylon had done a version with a female vocalist back in the last 1970's but the Nashville people put strings, horns and flutes in it. This time Waylon did it his way, singing all the vocals and using his band with the trademark sound of Ralph Mooney's steel guitar taking front and center. There is also the tribute to Buddy Holly here called "Old Friend" among others that are just plain good music.
This CD continues with the lp "What Goes Around" which starts off with "Ain't Living Long Like This", goes into the title cut and the first four songs are toe tappers, one of the best of which is "I've Got The Train Settin' Waitin", but then it gets weird with "It's The World's Gone Crazy" ("the dancer's are dancin' alone/the sidemen all want to be frontmen and the front men all want to go home... just an example of the lyrics on that weird little tune)... Side two of that album showed a more laid back smoothe Waylon starting with "Ivory Tower" then the story song "Out Among The Stars" about a down and out young man who "can't find a job but has found a gun" and holds up a liquor store, then the classic "Come With Me"... there are more tunes here but I've hit the hilites on two of my favorite Waylon lps of all time and they've put them together on this one CD... What more could you ask for?

Two distinctly different faces of a legend.......2003-06-16

The pairing of these two pieces of Waylon's work seems rather odd. However, both are very welcome to be back in my Waylon collection after several years of being absent. "Are You Ready For The Country" is an example of Waylon's ability to capture that renegade spirit during the height of his commercial success. All of these songs are pure Waylon at his best, but his rendition of Toy Caldwell's "Can't You See" is, in this reviewer's opinion, the epitome of what the "Outlaw Movement" of the seventies was all about. Listening to "What Goes Around" takes us into a different era of Waylon's fame and legend. You can tell that his taste in material has changed, as has his delivery. Two stand out tracks on this album are "If You See Her" and "Old Love, New Eyes". Waylon was always defying anybody to label his music or pidgeonhole him as an artist. The differences in these two albums
is a testament to what made him one of the greatest recording artist in the history of country music. He could continuosly grow and expand his horizons, all the while making his fans want to ride along and listen. This collection brought back a lot of great memories for me. Thank's Amazon for offering it. And thank you Waylon, for all those years of rebellious inspiration.

Bond and beyond on an excellent career retrospective........1998-08-25

Imitation is often considered the greatest form of flattery. John Barry's oeuvre has been sampled by dozens of contemporary musical artists, and he is often credited as being the godfather of "trip hop" (check recent albums by Portishead and Mono to hear the Barry influence). The Academy-award winning composer has been producing music for over forty years, but this collection focuses on the artist's most commercially successful period, the 1960's. The instantly recognizable and inimitable Barry style is well documented throughout 23 varied compositions. Selections range from classic to obscure, and include all the title tracks from the early James Bond soundtracks. Barry's film and television music is the defining sound of that era - lush orchestrations, cool jazzy riffs, pure excitement. "Themeology" is an excellent starting point for the novice collector and equally attractive for the long-time admirer.

Customer Reviews:

I bought this thinking it was the entire show. It's missing some of my favorite songs, such as "Rainbow Tour." Elaine Paige is great, but I don't care much for David Essex as Che.

THE HIGHLIGHTS DISC OF THE ORIGINAL LONDON PRODUCTION.......2005-09-17

Over the years Andrew Lloyd Webber has made many musicals, some more successful and appealing to the public than the others. Most people will, however, agree that "Evita" remains one of his most satisfying works to this date. Numerous reasons confirm this statement. Just like in its predecessor "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Evita" is almost entirely sung-through; the lyrics are witty and appropriate; the subject matter is again a personality larger-than-life who rises from obscurity and dies at the peak of its fame, thus becoming a legend; the score is captivating and appealing to the listener, at home or in the theatre.

Following the suit of the Superstar, ALW and Tim Rice first published Evita as an album, which appeared in 1976. It was an instant success and soon afterwards the preparations began to put it on the stage. The veteran of the musical theatre direction, Hal Prince, accepted the offer to adapt the original album and Elaine Paige, then an unknown actress and musical theatre performer was cast in the role of Evita. The show premiered in London in 1978, winning acclaiming reviews and numerous awards. And yet, since the concept album was selling so well, the authors felt it unnecessary to release another full version of Evita, with the London cast. That is why we only have this highlights 53-minute recording of the original London production. The story of Evita is widely known, but for those who are new to this let's repeat the essentials: We follow the life story of Eva Duarte Peron, wife of post-World war two president of Argentina, Juan Peron. However, the musical is very loosely based on the actual life of the real Evita. The story follows Evita from the day of her death in July 1952, and then we have flashbacks until that moment, covering her coming to Buenos Aires, alleged love affairs, meeting Peron, being the first lady and dying of cancer at 33.

Being the first theatre version of the somewhat revised concept album material, this disc is not the best recording available. There are several drawbacks. First, it lacks a great part of the show, since all we have here are snippets, i.e., the main musical numbers, meaning it is a bit difficult to follow the story if you are a first-time listener, even though the booklet provides a basic story outline. One of the other obvious weaknesses is the minimalist orchestrations used on this recording. After the lush and epic sound of the concept album featuring the London philharmonics and a rock band, here we have the usual pit orchestra, consisting of only the basic instruments. Thus the beauty of the score remains somewhat lost and is only traceable in hints. The authors seem to be aware of it, since for the upcoming Broadway recording of the show, the orchestrations were improved and sounded clearer.

In addition, the cast performance here is also mixed. Although the role of Eva Peron raised Elaine Paige to stardom, I find her performance not the best, simply because her voice sounds too young. With time her vocal abilities matured, but here she just doesn't reach a much needed uncompromising determination of the character, the way Patti LuPone did on Broadway or Julie Covington on the original album. That is not to say that Elaine performance here is altogether bad, but it could have been much better. David Essex, on the other hand, is a very good Che. He has the strong vocal power Colm Wilkonson and Antonio Banderas both demonstrated in their interpretation, which leaves one wondering why was Mandy Patinkin cast in the role when the show was transferred to Broadway, since he had a very light and unpleasant voice. Joss Ackland, an esteemed British actor is a well chosen Peron, with a suitable dark note in his performance.

The CD comes with a couple of the production photos, but no lyrics are included.

For those of you who are getting acquainted with the story of Eva Peron for the first time I must point out: Bear in mind that this musical is only loosely based on the life of the real Evita. As much as Tim Rice's lyrics are craftily made, they lack a lot of historical accuracy. As a historian I became very interested in Eva Peron's life story so I did some research after seeing the movie. It turned out that the authors based their entire work on a single book called EVITA: THE WOMAN WITH A WHIP by Mary Main. It was based on rumors, lies and myths, written with the single purpose of slandering Eva Peron as much as possible. It contains no footnotes and no bibliography. The authors used it mainly because it was one of the few books available on the subject in the English language during the 70-is. So one should be very careful in making any conclusions based on the musical or the movie alone.

So this disk is more of a welcomed addition for the collectors of the Evita cast recordings, rather than a first-choice album for the new listeners. The latter should get one of the three available 2-CD albums: the 1976 concept recording with Julie Covington, the 1979 Broadway cast with the best Evita of them all, the Tony-winning Patti LuPone, or the very good 1996 movie soundtrack with Madonna in the lead. They all have the complete score and are much more satisfying than this highlights album.

Not the Original Broadway Cast, but not bad.......2005-08-17

This soundtrack does not, in my opinion, rate as high as the Original Broadway Cast album with Mandy Patinkin and Patti Lupone, but it is not too bad. It is incomplete, which was a disappointment. Elaine Page doesn't hold a candle to Patti Lupone as Evita, and the Che leaves much to be desired. The highlight of this album is "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" which is simply superb. It was worth buying the cd just for that song. Some of the lyrics are different, which was interesting to hear, because they changed them around a bit when Evita was brought to the US. If you are an Evita lover I would suggest this album, but if you are just being introduced to Evita I would suggest going with the Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin cd.

Misleading CD cover.......2005-05-07

I wanted the complete Evita soundtrack, and this rendition was terribly disappointing. The cd ends abruptly mid story. Voices are spectacular of course, but the cover suggests this is the original London peformance and a buyer, like me, expects the entire musical score. I wouldn't buy this again.

MISSING SO MANY GOOD SONGS.......2004-07-11

THANK GOODNESS FOR THE BROADWAY PRODUCTION OF EVITA! THIS MUSCIAL IS VERY GOOD, YET IT HAS SOME WEAK SPOTS, BUT THAT DOSN'T MEAN LONDON SHOULD TAKE THEM OUT IN THE FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION OF EVITA. THERE ARE A LOT OF MISTAKES AND THINGS THEY SHOULD OF ADDED. HERE'S A LIST.

*BUENOS AIRES SHOULD OF BEEN LONGER
*A NEW ARGETINA SHOULD OF BEEN LONGER
*THEY SHOULD OF ADDED 'DICE ARE ROLLING" ANYTHING THAT HAS THE 'A NEW ARGETINA' MUSIC I JUST LOVE.

Edited Masterpieces.......2004-01-20

I saw this and thought, "Great!", two-on-one and a great price. Well, they neglected to tell anyone that their "ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED" versions are edits on the Masterpiece portion. Granted, A Song For You is complete but I ALREADY HAD this CD and I wanted Masterpiece as it was originally released. Talk about shady advertising. The Tempts sound great, but this is not the Masterpiece it should be.

Edited "Masterpiece" Songs Mar This CD.......2002-12-28

The lack of shame exhibited by major record companies knows no boundaries. When I saw the 2 for 1 CD compilation at such a nice price, I thought it seemed too good to be true. It was. Most of the songs on the "Masterpiece" portion of the CD are edited from the original 1973 CD. Why Motown would do this baffles me. I can understand the reasoning for placing edited versions of songs on Greatest Hits and Anthology compilations (although I personally disagree with the reasoning), but what music listener buys original albums to hear edited song versions? For me, I buy the original album to hear it the way it was *originally constructed*. To add insult to injury, the reproduced artwork and liner notes inside the package display the "Masterpiece" track listing and running times from the unabridged version!

So why does this CD merit three stars? Because the "Song For You" portion of the CD *is* the unedited version, and, given the price of this compilation, and the scarcity of the original stand-alone CD, buying this combined set is still a decent value, even if it's only for the "Song For You" portion.

Just be aware of what you're purchasing.

The Temptations Masterpiece, Indeed!.......2001-10-18

MASTERPIECE was indeed their greatest triumph in my book as a total "urban" album. The lead track, "Masterpice" is a lament, but a lyrical and hypnotic one, and the infectious rhythm of this tune will haunt you forever. It is powerful lyrically, and strangely beautiful! Every song, from Plastic Man to Hurry Tomorrow is heart wrenching and yet will have your fingers snapping... HOWEVER... this album, though well engineered has nearly every song on the Masterpiece album cut... and this is inexcusable. "A Song for You" is nearly all forgettable.... so why bother putting that album all on the CD intact? Masterpiece was a masterpiece and should have been the spotlight here!!

This is no Masterpiece!!!.......2001-05-02

This import neglected to mention that the entire "Masterpiece" portion of the CD consists of edited cuts with the exception of "Law Of The Land". Why issue a CD of edited cuts? If space was an issue, then 2 discs would be fine. I would have paid the costs regardless. "Hey Girl( I Like Your Style )" is cut to 2:38: this is one of the Temps all time classic love songs originally 4:36. The fact that the "Song For You portion is full-length only distracts from the enjoyment of this classic group. No more imports!!

Jacques Lu Cont mix is worth the price alone.......2006-05-09

The original was very catchy, and the jacques lu cont mix is indeed a fine mix of it, and so on that basis alone, it's worth buying.

However, I should clarify that the "ultra rare vinyl" which has an armand van helden mix definitely does not include the andreas churchill mix on it, as it's an unofficial bootleg remix, and so if it has turned up on an official release, I'd be very surprised, especially I am the guy who did that particular remix :)

Ha ha!.......2006-02-21

I found this in the store and got it for only 8 out of 13 bucks. On top of that, it was the last one left! Anyway, sorry about that. I just can't believe that it costs so much onlne. Here's a review & rating of each track:
1. Album Version (3:45)-The best song of 2004. 10/10
2. Jacques Lu Cont's TWD Mix (8:04)-Really cool and 80's-sounding. TWD either stands for Thin White Duke or Thin White Duck. 10/10
3. TWD Dub (8:18)-Okay. Too many tick-tocks. 8/10
All in all, a good CD. Oh, and to the reviewer who said this was "crap", you are sick. This was the best song of 2004.

PS: Try to find the rare vinyl record that has the Armand Van Helden Remix & Dub, Felix da Housecat's Rude Ho Mix, and, I believe, the Andreas Churchill Remix.

Alice never behaved like this down the rabbit hole!.......2005-01-31

When I first heard this song on the radio I thought, "You have GOT to be kidding?" and then I saw the video on TV and my second thought was, "Dear God Gwen's on Prozac whilst writing her songs now, someone get that girl SOME serious help!"

However I have to admit the song and the video has grown on me very quickly, I think she sings it in a VERY tongue in cheek way and Gwen's sultry high pitched voice does the lyrics and the tune justice.

I was quite startled by the vitriolic criticism that other reviewers have directed at this particular song, okay so the lyrics aren't thought provoking and the video is quite surreal but that makes it all the more interesting.

The Japanese girls in the video with Gwen are great with their immobile but quite beautiful faces watching the blonde singer as she struts her stuff in outrageous outfits combined with those equally if not more outrageous shoes that most women would secretly kill for!

And then there is the Alice in Wonderland theme, it's just so delicious!

Keep writing and singing Gwen, you'll always have a fan in me, no matter how wonderfully strange your songs are!

The normal album version and the radio edit which I am not very fond of since it doesn't show the true talent of THE KILLERS and "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself" which people say is a cover and I don't know who was the original singer but I think THE KILLERS do a great job "remaking or re-singing" this song! and a bonus- it has the video which is great too!

When the race is done, is there room for one more son.......2005-06-27

All these things that I've done is so beautiful, you'll be moved and influenced even if you didn't like either Mr. Brightside or Somebody told me. This is the second song that Brendan Flowers (Lead Vocalist) used the gospel choir in, and it gives it a surreal almost surround sound in the background as he sings. Very unique and quite moving to listen too, its as though the song is being sung reverently by Brendan.

In short love the killers, although I would say it's better if you just buy the entire CD Hot Fuss. At least for those of us that can't afford to buy singles all the time. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed or let down.

Not really sure why I bought this..........2005-05-04

Probably because I've become a Killers/Interpol/Bravery fanatic. The title track is an okay song, but not really up there with their other recent singles from "Hot Fuss". "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself" is a nice track that sounds like a studio recording, not a BBC session live track. Again, nice stuff, but does any of this really add to the overall Killers experience? I say no. Stick with the new single of "Smile Like You Mean it" and the remixes of "Somebody Told Me" and you'll be a happier Killer, IMO.

Great Cover Tune, Cool Video!.......2005-02-06

I am now officially hooked on The Killers! This song is the best track from their album & I hope it will eventually be released here in the US. I bought it for the bonus track, "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself," hoping it was a cover of a Morrissey song from 1994 & sure enough, it was! Brandon Flowers does an impressive job of recapturing Morrissey's angst while maintaining The Killers style throughout this live radio recording. Excellent!

The Radio Edit is just that- it cuts off the vocal/piano intro at the beginning & fades out early at the end- no other changes or remixing.

The video also makes this single worth owning. Brandon & the guys are walking down a city street, singing the song as they are barraged by fans & friends- kissing, hugging & following the band on their journey to a concert hall. They are even joined by a gospel choir for the "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" bridge. Nothing groundbreaking here, but fun to watch, regardless.

If you're a Killers fan, this cd single is a definite must-have for your collection & worth every penny for the Morrissey cover alone!

Status Quo Continue On A Roll.......2006-03-09

With BLUE FOR YOU, Status Quo continue playing straight-ahead blues-boogie as only they and a few other bands can. The songs are, with a few exceptions, great, and the bonus tracks, especially the B-side "All Through The Night", show that a lot of great Quo material that didn't made the original albums should have. "Is There A Better Way", the CD's opening cut, explains why I've given up food-related functions at my old school in favor of looking good for a number of TV and movie hotties. Some reviewers claim that this was the band's last great album, but they continued making top-drawer albums until the early 80s. The band members' belief that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since last spring on drug-smuggling charges was unjustly convicted makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

The Best Of The Lot...........2005-03-12

If you've made it this far, no doubt you're one of the few, the proud, a member of the "Quo Army"....debating on whether to purchase this remaster. I've purchased all of the Quo remasters and "Blue For You" comes away as the clear cut winner as "best of the lot". Clearest sound, best enhancements with minimal distortion in the higher, "treble" frequencies compared to the other releases. The bonus tracks leave much to be desired, but not enough to drop this great album below 5 stars. "Mystery Song" is worth the price of this purchase alone!! I purchased the dreadful import 2 on 1 cd containing "Quo" & "Blue For You" awhile back, this remaster (as well as the "Quo" remaster) blows the "2 for 1" release away. The upgrade here is phenomenal. If you have this on vinyl or any other previously released cd version, add this to cart now. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

weak voices.......2006-01-21

I don,t need to write a book to tell you about this disc.I will leave that to the ones that write as if they are getting paid by the word.
Dont waste your money on this cd. There are a lot of singers on this cd. that dont have the voices and the range and richness to be singing this music. buy one with the best of the singers who sang in the stage productions.

LLOYD WEBBER'S BEST OF IN A SINGLE DISC.......2005-01-07

There are numerous compilations out on the market full of Lloyd Webber's music. As most people know, Lloyd Webber is the most successful musical composer of all time and many of his songs became standards not only in the theatre history, but also as tops on the charts. This is the compilation Lloyd Webber personally supervised and it is the best thing to have if you can't afford his five-CD compilation called "Now and forever", which was selected and supervised by him as well. You should bear in mind, however, that there are two compilations called Gold out there: This one is for the British and the European market. There is another one, issued later and digitally remastered, aimed at the American buyers and although some songs are repeated on both of them, they contain different songs or the same songs sung by different artists. Therefore you should check your favourites and buy accordingly, or, if you can, buy them both.

So here are my thoughts about the tracks in this one:

1. "Superstar" and "I don't know how to love him" are both from the concept album of "Jesus Christ Superstar". They sound wonderful as ever.

2. "Don't cry for me Argentina" is beautifully performed by Julie Covington, who was Evita at the 1976 concept album. She sounds like Madonna, only much better and the London philharmonics are the best orchestra ever used in this song. David Essex sings "Oh what a circus" with a strong voice, in my view, much better than Mandy Patinkin.

3. From "Tell me on a Sunday" we have "Take that look of your face" sung by Marti Webb. This studio version blends perfectly Marti's voice and the strong back vocals.

4."Memory" from "Cats" is probably the most famous of all Webber's songs, recorded by numerous artists. The one here is from the London cast recording, sung by Elaine Paige. I love Elaine's version very much, but this one is not the definite one. Her best rendition of this song, with the much matured voice, can be heard in "Cats" DVD or in her latest two-disc compilation, "Centre stage: The very best of Elaine Paige", issued in May 2004.

5. "Pie Jesu" is the best known song from Webber's "Requiem". Sarah Brightman is joined by a young boy soprano Paul Miles-Kingston in this solemn deliverance. Very pretty.

6. "The Phantom of the Opera" is represented by three songs in their single versions. In the song of the same title, we have Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley sounding very appropriate, although my favourite will always be the one with Sarah and Michael Crawford, which can be found on the American version of this compilation. Cliff Richard and Sarah sing the lovely ballad "All I ask of you" with passion, and Cliff has a wonderful warmth in his voice. Finally, Michael Crawford gives his unique and mesmerising interpretation in "The music of the night".

7. "Aspects of love" boast here with its top song, "Love changes everything", performed wonderfully by Michael Ball. It was his #1 hit and is probably one of the most beautiful love anthems ever written.

8. "The Joseph and his amazing Technicolor dreamcoat" was Webber's first musical and the signature song "Any dream will do" is performed here by Jason Donovan with a youthful warmness. Wonderful pop piece.

9. For the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Webber wrote, together with his long-time lyricist Don Black, this next song, "Amigos para siempre or Friends for life". It's a nice duet between Sarah Brightman and Jose Carreras, their voices are a perfect fit. The melody itself is neat, especially when the orchestra takes the lead.

10. "Sunset Boulevard" is marked here with two songs. Barbra Streisand's powerful voice shines all the way through in "As if we never said goodbye"; it's a shame she never played Norma Desmond on Broadway, since Patti LuPone wasn't allowed to take her Norma to New York, and Glenn Close butchered the role. "The perfect year" is here in its single version, sung splendidly by Dina Carroll, and it sounds much better with this orchestration than in the show on stage.

11. As we approach the end, we have an Academy Award winner, that is, "You must love me" with Madonna, from the 1996 movie version of "Evita". This is another wonderful ballad with the haunting cello and piano solo. It just proves that Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice were the best collaborators. They really should do another musical together.

12. The last two songs are from "Whistle down the wind". The first song has the same title and it's a pop single performed by Tina Arena. She has a really strong voice and the drums and guitars here are a well made combination. Boyzone's "No matter what" was a huge pop hit in the charts. Again, we have a song with the suitable orchestrations and vocals.

All in all, this CD is a must have for all the Webber fans. It works well as the background music or on the headphones. The booklet contains some pictures and an introductory text. The sound quality is excellent. Every song here really is a pure gold.

Webber's best.......2002-07-05

This CD is subtitled "The Definitive Hit Singles Collection." And that it is. Eighteen tracks include the best known Webber hits. Julie Covington does "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina." If you haven't heard the other side of the Evita story, you need to hear David Essex's "Oh What a Circus," an answer to "Don't Cry . . ." Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley do "The Phantom of the Opera," and Michael Crawford does "The Music of the Night." Barbra Streisand does "As if We Never Said Goodbye," Michael Ball does "Love Changes Everything," Marti Webb does "Take That Look Off Your Face," and Madonna does "You Must Love Me." The rest of the album is not filler; is top notch Webber, truly a collection of hit singles.

Romantic Paradise.......2004-06-10

Andre Rieu's Romantic Paradise with selections including "The Godfather," "Strangers in Paradise,"The Rose," etc. is absolutely lovely. His violin brings out the best in these familiar songs. There is a second CD with the same title, with "Dances with Wolves" as the first selection, that will blow you away. I got mine in Europe. Hope it becomes available in the USA.
