This CD should be required listening in school;it is the perfect marriage of technique and art.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Quality.......2006-02-25

was amazed to hear the difference in quality between this CD recording and the vynil versions, even for a Mono recording.

5 out of 5 stars No real guitar lover should be without this CD.......2005-08-26

Anyone who loves the guitar, and who enjoys discussing great players, simply must include Django Reinhardt in their library and their discussions. "Quintette du Hot Club de France: 25 Classics 1934-1940" is a great place to start. His speed, inventiveness, musicality, and emotion are unsurpassed by any other guitar player from any other genre or any other era. And on top of that, you get the added bonus of Stephane Grappelli's violin playing. Buy it, listen to it, and be amazed.

5 out of 5 stars Quintette du Hot Club de France: 25 Classics 1934-1940.......2005-08-22

If you're into Django Reinhardt and his music, this may be the single most all-inclusive CD of his works available, containing most of the tunes he became best known for performing. You probably will not need another.

The one critique I have is, that for some inexplicable reason, the version of Limehouse Blues on this CD is noisier (hissy) than another copy of the song I have, though it is note-for-note the same version and, I'm pretty sure, the same performance. All the other tunes appear to have been processed for higher quality- a minor drawback; an excellent CD.

5 out of 5 stars this is a good collection.......2005-04-27

If you're just going to buy a 1-disc Django CD, this is a pretty good one to start with. Lots of great songs on this disc. But you can spend just a little more money and get a more complete 4-disc set called "The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order volume 1." (I haven't listened to volume 2 yet, but I know volume 1 is good.) Anyway, it's hard to go wrong with Django Reinhardt.

5 out of 5 stars Sousa By the Royal Marines.......2007-03-31

This is a great CD re-issue of the Band of the Royal Marines School of Music under Graham Hoskins. This band did a three LP series on Sousa marches some years ago that was better than most on this very well covered topic. Sousa march recordings will always come and go, but some like this stand out more than others. For one, there is nothing like the panache of a Royal Marines band. Their sound is a time honored development that gets passed from one generation to the next. Even as the number of RM bands continues to change and downsize, there are now about four bands left in the service, their sound quality continues to be superb.

When these recordings were made RM bands were still at their height in the British service and their quality was amazing. Most bands numbered over 60 in this period, and that is why many Americans may be surprsed at the volume of music produced here. This is not one of your small, though excellent regimental bands! Americans tend to think that British military band instrumentation is on the thin side. Not so here! Of course Sousa always sounds best with either the Allentown band or the US Marine band.

This CD is evidence of how popular Sousa has always been in the UK, and with RM bands in particular. The selection here on two CDs covers most of the standard Sousa fair, with a few different selections here and there. Unfortunatley there are none of Sousa's fine transcriptions for classical music, or selections from his operettas. This music is always wonderful to have in combination with the marches as it shows how much variety he was capable of in his compositions. For that kind of concert the reader is referred to the very fine collection of Sousa music being done under the Naxos label by the Band of the Royal Artillery.

Here you will find a solid collection of Sousa's great marches. Roughly a third of those 136 compositions are contained here. The Royal Marines give a sharpe and clear sound to these works which should certainly inspire. You will also get a very nice idea how RM bands sounded back in the 1980s. Graham Hoskins was a fine director of music, typical of the inhouse genius of the Royal Marines Band Service at that time. He took this band on a USA tour in 1985 with the Arygll & Sutherland Highlanders. Devotees of Sousa should enjoy these spirited versions of the march king's music as performed across the pond.

5 out of 5 stars Still Among the Best.......2006-06-01

I bought two audio casettes with these marches back in the 1980's and wore them out. These performances are hard to beat for virtuosity, enthusiasm, and sparkle. The sound quality is outstanding. And there are some marches that are rarely, if at all, available.

5 out of 5 stars How Sousa Should Sound.......2006-03-07

Great value 2 cd disc set cut in the early 1980's & remastered the sound of the Royal Marines Band is nothing short of terrific. Judging by the sound would not be surprised for this to be a combined double RM band. These 1st chair players give Sousa's great marches that extra kick that takes the "March Kings" music to that higher level. By the center quick march!!!!

I'm a huge house and club classic fan. This cd had a lot of songs I wanted but they were mixed/re-mixed. Not too happy with the purchase. The shipper was great though!!!

5 out of 5 stars Original Chicago House Classics.......2006-07-27

Being a club kid from the Garage days in NYC it is refreshing to hear a good compliation of old school house music.

they are ALL hot!!

5 out of 5 stars Original chicago house classics.......2003-11-26

If you're a fan of house music, this cd is a must have. I still have the originals on wax, but listening on cd is amazing, from the God father of house teaming up Jamie P, Marshall "move your body" Jefferson to the the Queen of State street Liz Torres. If you know house is not just a music , its a feeling , then treat yourself to the best, and bring down the walls.

5 out of 5 stars One of the last groups to ward off Rap from R&B.......2007-07-01

In My Bed *That is the 1 you know even if you were only a casual in the 90s*

But there are 3 more that are just as good or better.

Tell Me
Never Make A Promise
These Are The Times

1st 2 are similar and a bit slow jam but with some assertiveness.
The last is slow and more of a ballad type.

Another 3 are solid tracks.

5 Steps
How Deep Is Your Love
I Should Be...

5 out of 5 stars Actual Hits.......2007-06-02

It actually has all the 'Hits' I was looking for, and I was especially glad it had Cisqo's "Incomplete" on it. I could actually play it all the way through.

5 out of 5 stars Some of the best slow jams of the nineties.......2007-01-13

Dru Hill is a typical story in R&B where ego's destroy the group. Dru Hill was one of the last good groups to come out in the nineties who actually presented good quality R&B and all of the hits are here. Tell Me,How Deep Is Your Love, and Never Make a Promise and many more are here including my personal favorite Beauty. My main compliant with the CD is the songs are mostly all radio edits and there's too many weak tracks from the 2002 flop Dru World Order.

5 out of 5 stars baby making music.......2006-11-05

You must hear track 9 for all music lovers. Everone that hears this cd and track want one for themselves.

5 out of 5 stars great R&B.........one of the best groups.......2006-03-07

I have always liked Dru Hill's music. Their songs are so nice and beautiful. They did a good job compiling these songs, they are definately hits. I enjoyed mostly all of them. My favorites were: 5 Steps, We're Not Making Love, These Are The Times,The Love We Had, and Beauty. This is a very good CD. Mostly all the songs are beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars long live the salsoul orchestra.......2004-04-24

Now this is one hell of an album.If disco and dancing was ever your thing, then this compiliation is absolutly mandatory
It seems like every song is a N.Y club scene classic. The only thing missing was the disco ball!

5 out of 5 stars Another World Of Disco!.......2004-02-09

This collection along with the "Salsoul Classics 2" is very essential to all disco fans that want something different than mainstream artists like Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor...

If you bought "The Disco Box" and/or "The Disco Years, Vol. 1-7", then you will like this collection. Salsoul was just as important to the Disco era as those artists. First Choice, Instant Funk, Double Exposure, and of course The Salsoul Orchestra (which had friendly competition with MFSB and Love Unlimited Orchestra) were talented artists that helped spawn disco. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest songs in Salsoul history.......2004-01-16

Without question the greatest selection of music from the
Disco era and one unforgettable record company.
There is not one day that goes by that I am humming
in my head " My love is free' by Double Exposure.
Loleatta's hits "Hit and run", " Love Sensation" and " Dreamin".
" Doctor Love" and " Double Cross" by First Choice.
The music of 2000 and up will never reach the status of classic.
These are songs that will transcend time and I will never stop
dancing to them.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Salsoul!!.......2003-11-05

This 2-CD set is a collection of some of Salsoul Records' classic tracks, all in their full-length versions. While many songs here may be familiar to those who heard them in the clubs, there are also some tunes that became radio hits ("I Got My Mind Made Up"-Instant Funk, e.g.). The wide variety of sounds found on this set (spanning roughly from 1975 to 1983), is just mesmerizing. Some tunes are ultimate workout numbers: Loleatta Holloway's "Dreamin'", "Love Sensation" and "Hit And Run", Double Exposure's "Ten Percent", and Ripple's "The Beat Goes On". There are two Shep Pettibone remixes from 1983 of previously released records: "Let No Man Put Asunder" (originally recorded by First Choice in 1977) and "Oooh I Love It (Love Break)", a reworking of Salsoul Orchestra's 1975 LP cut "Chicago Bus Stop". Famed Paradise Garage d.j. Larry Levan's "Garage" version of Inner Life's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" clocks in at 10:27. For those who have just become acquainted with the music of this excellent record label, this 2-disc set is worth every penny!! Other fine cuts from this collection include First Choice's "Love Thang" (1979), Aurra's "Checking You Out" (1982), Inner Life's "Moment Of My Life" (also from 1982), and Skyy's "Call Me" (1981).

5 out of 5 stars Chronic Disco Classics.....................2002-11-30

This a great CD to purchase. This CD is packed with jammin disco classics. Many people try to diss disco, but many don't know or understand how DEEP First Choice or Loletta Holloway really are. There are plenty of disco classic on this CD. First Choice & Loletta both got alot of radio play on Chicago's WBMX 102.7 in the 80's.

Amazon.com essential recording

When Jazzie B and his Bristol crew released this debut--which was called Keep on Movin' in the U.S., after its first hit--in 1989, at the height of twice-a-second dance beats, it was a landmark event in the club music scene. They slowed down their rhythms and brought in subtle, soulful vocals (mostly from Caron Wheeler); more intriguingly, they structured the disc like a club DJ set. Some songs, such as the giddy "Fairplay," were presented straight, but others appeared only as almost-instrumental dub or as a groove with toasting-influenced spiels by Jazzie or (in the case of the smash "Back to Life") a cappella. This reissue expands the original with some B-sides, alternate versions, and the fully orchestrated single version of "Back to Life," as well as a superfluous drum & bass remix of "Keep on Movin.'" --Douglas Wolk

Album Description

i love this right here because what was not on the original album is on this one. my neck tingles from the mems of first hearing it. the one that stands out for me though is not what you think!!!!! for me, it was thast piano part of JAZZY'S GROOVE. just that part DA-DUN-DUH-DUH-DUH-NUH drives me absolutely INSANE!!!! of course, there is KEEP ON MOVIN', BACK TO LIFE, ARE YOU READY, and FEELING FREE that gets me levitated. look here, if you like them grooves that take you somewhere else in their own way, then you will dig this one here.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!!!.......2006-11-05

British soul at its best. It introduced Caron Wheeler who went solo shortly after this CD came out. The songs on this CD still sound good to this day. Although the remixes are not necessary, it is a great addition to the CD. The CD is definitely a classic. Buy it now!!!

5 out of 5 stars Their Most Remarkable Album to Date !.......2002-07-01

What a disappointment back in '89 when I first purchased the original cd to find that their biggest hit Back To Life was only an accapella version. You could only obtain the orchestrated video version if you purchased the maxi single cd or the single cassette ! Well, this club edition of the cd more than makes up for lost time. It makes me greatly appreciate what groundbreaking club, dub, and soulfully deep-bass music sounds like. This title is still fresh and unforgettable as the first time I heard it. With it's Jamaican, reggae-influenced grooves Soul II Soul was definitely a musical group that would later be greatly emulated or imitated by others (listen to the European group Enigma's smash 1990 instrumental hit Sadeness)! From the heartfelt and soulful vocals to the rich instrumentation this cd was the blueprint for later artists to be inspired by if not strongly influenced...

5 out of 5 stars Good II Better.......2002-06-25

Ten years after its release, the fabulous debut from inflential Soul II Soul gets re-relased with three additional mixes. A fuse of r&b, reggae, African rhythms, and pure funk, Jazzie B's unique sound would be copied by several pale imitators. Yet, there was no denying the Real Thing. "Keep On Movin'," "Jazzie's Groove," and "Back to Life" sound just as vital as they did back in 1989. This album deservedly went platinum and earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist (which they lost to, um, Milli Vanilli). However, the group began to sell less records with each subsequent release before they finally faded from the spotlight. But the power and influence of this straight-up classic still lives on. This disc comes highly recommended for both casual listeners and soul fanatics alike.

5 out of 5 stars A Sure "Soul" Delight.......2002-02-11

It's hard to believe that after 13 years of its release, Soul II Soul's "Keep On Movin'" still stands as being one of the best recorded albums ever. Another one of U.K.'s finest brilliantly created a distinct sound in fusing melodic rhythms of Funk, R&B/Soul, Hip-Hop, and Dance. As a result, some of the biggest hits became staples on both R&B and Pop stations during '89 such as the infamous title track and the monstrous classic "Back to Life," both led by female vocalist extrodinaire Caron Wheeler. Another jam is the thunderous "Jazzie's Groove." Bonus treats are also added here for pure listening enjoyment. A sure gem to own.

3 out of 5 stars Ram Jam - 'Golden Classics' (Collectables).......2006-12-17

Thank goodness for the internet,is all I have to say.I MAY have not otherwise ever found all the info I need to know about Ram Jam.Was it just me or did any of you ever 'always' assume their sole hit "Black Betty" was a Black Oak Arkansas song?Anyway,most of these eleven tracks appear to be off their self-titled 1977 debut album.They had a follow-up after that,'Portrait Of The Artist' in 1978,then I guess they simply called it a day.Tunes here that I liked best are the previously mentioned "Black Betty","Let It All Hang Out","404" and the jamming "Hey Boogie Woman".Basically,just all around decent '70's hard rock.Nothing special,but okay.Line-up:Myke Scavone-vocals,former Lemon Pipers member Bill Barlett-guitar,Howard Blauvelt(R.I.P.)-bass and Pete Charles-drums.Might appeal to fans of Foghat,Lynyrd Skynyrd,Black Oak and maybe The Sweet.

5 out of 5 stars Black Betty wasn't their only good song!.......2006-10-26

Golden classics gives you a chance to hear BB all you want, but if you stop there, you're missing out! Far as I know, Ram Jam only had two albums - the self-titled debut and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ram. Both were good and both were overlooked. Here, you get what I think were the marginal Let It All Out, Right On The Money, 404, and I Should Have Known. They're OK - but that's 4 of 11 that are OK. The rest are at least good..

All For The Love, High Steppin, Hey Boogie Woman, and Overloaded are good. The rest are pretty much barnburners. You know about Black Betty. Keep Your Hands On The Wheel and Too Bad On Your Birthday round it out.

What ever happened the these guys? By not listening beyond Black Betty, we lost out on what could've been a spectacular hit-producing machine! And not one that followed all the rules, either. That was what stood out about them - and maybe what ultimately killed them.

This album (CD, release, whatever they're called now) as with ANY Ram Jam release is AT LEAST four-and a half out of five stars!

5 out of 5 stars Don't Buy this buy, the very best of RAM JAM.......2005-09-30

For the same money buy the not yet released "very best of Ram Jam" that not only gives you this cd's 1977 recording, but the better 1978 recording.

The first recording (Tracks 1 - 10) have good songs to back up the hit Black Betty. The second recording has superior songs throughout. Much harder, better played and varied.

Overall the cd sounds like 70's Aerosmith, Nugent with a touch of Paul Kossoff (FREE) type guitar thrown in on tracks 11

By the way, why does Amazon include a 'NO' in 'was this review helpful to you?'. People are only human and don't like opinions that differ from themselves, thus the 'NO' makes it too easy express such displeasure.

Are they trying to discourage negative reviews, hence not purchase the CD. Such reviews only help a person in not being dissatisfied a product that received positive reviews

4 out of 5 stars One hit wonder, but a good one hit.......2004-12-22

Best Black Betty cover since the original Led Belly. Everybody has heard someone try to redo this rock steady/southern rock style of Black Betty, but nobody has yet come close to making a version this cool in over 20 years. The rest of the songs... well, they're okay, but they are a one hit wonder. I heard an improbable rumor that the 404 error that you see when your browser encounters an obsolete website link was originally coded by a Ram Jam fan. Unlikely, but amusing!

4 out of 5 stars Ram Jam.......1999-12-19

I had this album years ago and alwas liked it! But I had not been able to find it on CD untill I looked here. If your around the 40 year mark and like rock thats a little off the beaten path I think you wiil like this. My freind and I still use some of the sayings from this album such as ( to bad on your birthday)

4 out of 5 stars A good collection of club tracks.......2007-02-17

This collection, unlike a lot of others on the market, boasts excellent sound transfers and an intelligent selection of genuine club tracks. It does however try to cover a number of bases in it's musical choices and as a result you may feel, like me, more fondly towards some tracks than others - in my case, I could easily have done without 'Whistle Bump', 'Do Your Dance' and Freddie James' rubbish 'Hollywood'. The other tracks however are very welcome on CD, especially Venus Dodson's little remembered 'Night Rider'. Overall this CD shows that there are some people out there that really care about the music. Well done and let's hope that this is the beginning of a series.

4 out of 5 stars predominantly all extended play versions!!!.......2005-09-04

some rare goodies can be gotten on this disc, and most are the longest versions available, although "Here Comes That Sound Again" is only half its original vinly length. Track times:

1. here comes that sound again (8:52)
2. do your dance (9:17)
3. victim (8:31)
4. i caught your act (4:30)
5. whistle bump (7:43)
6. found a cure (7:02)
7. dancer (8:27)
8. forbidden love (8:23)
9. night rider (6:43)
10. hollywood (8:15)

5 out of 5 stars rare classic disco.......2005-07-07

This collection exemplifies vintage disco, not the disco music
that was big on pop charts, but rather tracks which were most
frequently played at nightclubs where dancing was popular. Some
of the tracks in this wonderful compilation (ie. "Forbidden Love" by Madleen Kane and "Night Rider" by Venus Dodson) only
made the Club Charts, whereas others, such as Ashford and Simpson's "Found A Cure", received airplay on the Pop Charts. Nevertheless, if you are looking for rare, refreshing, danceable, and pure disco from the late 1970s, then this CD is for you!

1 out of 5 stars Very Dissapointed.......2004-08-19

Though the tracks on this CD are fine, I was not happy with the product. Each track has a 2-second delay in between... so the music does not seque into each other. Not at all what I was expecting.

5 out of 5 stars You need this!.......2004-05-12

This is a superb collection of full-length disco classics - none of your disappointing radio edits and definitely none of the usual rubbish that appears on every other second-rate collection. Stunning! Why didn't they make this a series - or would that have been tempting fate?

Album Description

Azuli Records' Choice series is fast becoming a who's who of influential figures in dance music, with previous releases by legendary artists such as Jeff Mills, Louie Vega, Derrick Carter, Danny Tenaglia, X-Press 2, Frankie Knuckles, and most recently, John Digweed - where each artist communicates their own musical influences, history and experience with their fans.

A good DJ's job is archaeologist, evangelist and salesman. Speak to Danny Howells for more than ten minutes and you'll know he fits the exact criteria. The tracks Danny has selected for Choice are not some rich tapestry of the history of dance music. This is his personal history - featuring tracks and remixes by Coldcut, Orbital, The Temptations, Urban Soul, PM Dawn, Todd Terry, Ce Ce Peniston, Japan, Sub Sub, Iron Butterfly, Fire Island and many more!

[This edition is unmixed.]

1 out of 5 stars An Important FYI..........2007-07-10

Just in case you missed the fine print (as I did) this is the UNMIXED version. That is, the tracks are not blended together as in usual DJ mixes. They are standalone, and separate.

The page notes this at the very bottom of the text description. It's very easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

1-star just to make sure that it's clear. Otherwise Danny Howells is an incredible dj. One of the best in the world. And this is a great CD. The mixed version is also available elsewhere on the site, with an interview DVD.

4 out of 5 stars Choice Cuts.......2007-01-13

International DJ, Danny Howells, fresh off of one of the best years of his career, is the latest artist to showcase his diverse range of tastes via Azuli Records' Choice Classics series, an ongoing project that finds influential musicians and asks them to compile all of the songs and tracks that have inspired them most over the years.

Disc 1 provides the most uniformity in this package, with its progressively smoother melding of genres. The record starts with some classic house samples, redolent with crooning R&B ("Alright" by Urban Soul) and alive with salsa back beats ("Carino 90" by T-Coy). The disc drives this energy forward, growing heavier and heavier, hitting near-techno levels of metallic fervency ("12 Min To Do It" by Pleasure Dome). Howells steadily reduces the amp on the final five tracks, keying down through the stomp-heavy "Hocus Pocus" (by the band of the same name) and into the gorgeous gull-call scenery of Ready For Dead's fluidly flavorful song of the same name.

The second disc is fun, as well, but also much more uneven, probably owing to its heavy helping of old school funk and rock. Howells attempts the same sort of seamless arrangement that he pulls off perfectly in Disc 1, but that's hard to do when you're trying to blend The Temptations' "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone" into a three minute drum solo by Iron Butterfly (don't be fooled, "In A Gadda Da Vida" is on the track list, but all you'll hear is beats). This is passable, though, given the invigorating energy of the rest of the record. Sub Sub's high-pulse "Space Face" segues dreamily into Coldcut and Hexstatic's "Timer," one of the best deep house tracks I've heard in a long time. With the exception of "Why" by Carly Simon (a great tune that plays awkwardly as the closing track on this disc), the rest of the album is a rhythm-tribute to deep, funky house that will almost make you forget the earlier weak spots (which include the fourth track, Japan's "Ghosts," a synthetic pop number ruined by too much mood).

1 out of 5 stars What!.......2006-08-21

Awful, what a waste of money, I didn't get it at all. Maybe 2 tracks which were OK. Hard to see how a DJ could use much of this material. Other reviewers seemed to like it, not me. I'll stick to GU's Howells offerings. Just my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars Japan, Iron Butterfly and the Temptatons! .......2006-03-15

All in a row and it works really well... Very interesting combinations but moves and grooves... Super Choice!!! The GU Miami was great and this may actually be better...

4 out of 5 stars Excellent work, Mr. Howells, sir........2006-03-05

I guess disc 1 is one of those "you had to be there" kind of things, and since I wasn't there, it didn't really grab me. And then......disc 2. If you're familiar with Mr. Howells' work, you'll know that his best work has a cetain unnameable quality to it (think Day disc of Global Underground's 24/7). If you know what I mean, then you'll find what you think I mean in full display on disc 2 of this collection,know what I mean? It's deep,kinda creepy and excellent. I can't seem to stop listening to it, and I don't mind if I don't. Get this disc, you won't be sorry. Hell, get 24/7,too.
