Another great hits album from a great group!.......2006-01-12
Before Backstreet Boys, there was Take That, a brilliant group who paved the way. Remember, without Take That, there would be no Justin Timberlake, and a world without Justin Timberlake is a very sad thing.

Customer Reviews:
Great Sound.......2007-04-14
Karen Carpenter had a great voice,and here is a big collection of songs from this brother and sister team.To name the best songs from this duo is difficult because there is so many to choose from.But a definite favorite is Top Of The World.I love that tune.
But a song that realy established them was (They Long To Be) Close To You.That song is about their most known song and i love it.There is a great assortment of songs here like We've Only Just Begun.I wont go through all the songs as The Carpenters were consistently good.
THE BEAUTIFUL KAREN LIVES ON FOR ETERNITY............2007-04-12
To review this cd collection is simple - short and sweet it has all the hits plus some added extras and the remastering is pure perfection. It seems that with every new collection that came out Richard tinkered with the orchestration, vocal intensity and the songs over time lost all their essence of beauty and power that was there when first recorded.
These songs are all great due to the wonderful arrangements by Richard, the excellent song selection but foremost the rare vocal ability that Karen possessed. Her voice was always so pure with open, honest emotion and an ever constant tinge of melancholy/sadness. To change this in any way denies us of the gift that is Karen Carpenter. Her voice is one of the best of all times. Perfection cannot be enhanced as those other collections tried to do.
These songs I can guarantee are the original versions remastered perfectly and it is very emotional to hear that voice come out so clear, so pure - the voice of an angel. These are the original songs in their original form as you remember them.
All Carpenter fans - this cd will be a dream come true. Purchase it and Karen will live on for you forever.

Customer Reviews:
I haven't found a better one.......2006-05-26
An exceptionally well-sequenced collection. I usually don't like BEST OF discs that scramble chronology, but the people who put this together did a great job; the different styles of production keep this interesting all the way through. In this context, I can even appreciate his poppy early work. Excellent sound. And it's got most of the songs from "Harold and Maude"! Ignore the cover and GET THIS (used).
GREAT COLLECTION.......2003-05-08
For the die-hard Cat Stevens fan who wants to hear the 'very best of Cat Stevens' I'd say buy every CD he made. For the peripherally interested, this is the album to get, in my opinion. Not only does it contain a large portion of his most favoured period [Tillerman/Teaser] but it also contains a bit from all his periods. This is Cat Stevens in a nutshell. It includes at least one song from every album. My favourites are Moonshadow, Land of freelove adn goodbye and Into white.
Practically Perfect.......2002-03-19
This CD has all of the tracks that you'll ever need, TERRIFIC sound quality, and even a cover that depicts how beautiful, spiritual and dreamy the music is (though listening to the music is still better than looking at some kid doing Yoga). Opt for the import -- it's worth it!
A true classic.......2000-11-22
Cat Stevens is another artist I grew up as a teenager. His music speaks to the human soul. I almost forgotten about his contribution "If you want to sing out, sing out" to the film classic "Harold and Maude". It was like reacquainting myself with an old friend. Songs like "Father and Song" and "Morning Has Broken" moves me in a way no other artist can. I consider his version of "Another Saturday Night" far superior to the original by Al Green. Obviously this collection of Cat Stevens songs has four extra tracks that his greatest hits cd doesn't have. For anyone interested in buying a compilation of Cat Stevens songs, this ultimate collection is the way to go.
Songs with feelings.......2000-04-28
For those who don't know his work, this is a great CD with all his major hits, a Collection of songs that reveal all sorts of emotions, from happiness to sorrow. For those who do know his work, this is just another CD with his most famous titles. I already knew his work, but i liked it.

nice background music.......2007-06-13
This is a CD you don't mind listening to over and over. It is ideal when you have company in the house or when you want to relax.
Five - Perhaps Six Stars!!.......2006-04-05
This collection is worthy of SIX stars! This is the most enjoyable, highest-quality Percy Faith collection I have seen. Not only is the collection about as "Ultimate" as you could desire, it brings back in glorious stereo quality some of my favorite albums. The various tracks from his "Young Lovers" series are utterly fantastic!!
This is it!.......2003-04-01
This is the best compilation of Mr. Faith's orchestrations I have seen yet. Some of the music on this CD I have heard on easy listening radio stations in the 1970s that I have not seen released on CD until this set came out, such as the lush and velvety rendition of Burt Bacharach's tune "Always Something There to Remind Me", with great strings and brass. This is a great set and well worth the money.

Album Description
Born in 1974, British tenor Russell Watson became an opera singer by freak occurrence. While he was regularly singing in bars and clubs in the Manchester and London suburbs, an owner of one such venue told Watson that he thought his voice was better suited for opera and requested that he learn Puccini's 'Nessum Dorma', which he did and promptly added to his set. Watson eventually signed with Decca Records, issuing his debut, entitled The Voice, in April of 2001. Nicknamed 'the People's Tenor', Watson seems poised to convert more than a few opera naysayers as he covers such contemporary compositions as Freddie Mercury's 'Barcelona', in addition to the standards. Includes the 2 bonus tracks 'I Have Nothing' & 'Can't Help Falling In Love'. 2006.
Album Details
2006 Anthology of Songs by the Man Dubbed "the People's Tenor" Released in Tandem with a Concert Tour. Watson Has Purposefully Assembled Albums to Take Opera and Classical Music to a New Audience; "to Give Classical Music Back to the People, Or Rather, to Give it to People for the First Time," He Explains. "whether I'm Singing in Front of Five Or 100,000 People, I Just Love to Entertain. Everywhere I Go, People Ask Me to Belt them a Note Because There is Nothing Like Hearing the Power of a Big Voice Hitting the Top Note - it Makes the Hairs on the Back of Your Neck Stand Up." Special Tracks on this Set Include his Reprisal of "Barcelona" with Shaun Ryder of Happy Mondays, First Recorded by Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballe, plus Daring Renditions of "i have Nothing" from "The Bodyguard" and "Can't Help Falling in Love".

Another Triumph.......2006-05-19
There are not enough superlatives to describe this young man. This is truly "the best of the best" ...all of his best in one CD. The bonus track "Can't Help Falling In Love" is worth the price of admission!! Wish he would tour in the USA!
Best Of The Best...........2006-04-23
Russell Has Released A "Best Of" Which Has So Many Wonderful Performances "Nella Fantasia", "Caruso", "Someone Like You", Amore e Musica" & Two New Songs...His Great Versions Of "I Have Nothing" & "Van't Help Falling In Love" Both Of Which He Brings His Own Stamp!!!!

Customer Reviews:
Not fully comprehensive.......2007-07-10
FOUR AND A HALF STARS
As compilations go, this one is not bad but there are still certain omissions. Disc One draws on albums like Portfolio (1977), Fame (1978), Muse (1979) and Warm Leatherette (1980), whilst Disc Two draws on Nightclubbing (1981), Living My Life (1982), Slave To The Rhythm (1985), Inside Story (1986) and Bulletproof Heart (1989). The third disc contains special remixes and extended versions, including the demo of Ring Of Fire.
The tracks are arranged chronologically so it maps out her musical development from the disembodied robotic 1970s disco sounds of La Vie En Rose and Send In The Clowns through her new wave experiments with Private Life, her torch song phase on the Nightclubbing album up to the funky R&B of My Jamaican Guy and on to the pure pop of I'm Not Perfect and Love On Top Of Love.
She wasn't taken seriously as a musician up until the release of Warm Leatherette in 1980, but I have always enjoyed her early disco work, especially the Portfolio album with its great tracks like Tomorrow, Send In The Clowns, I Need A Man and La Vie en Rose.
The following album, Fame, was weaker but still contained a sprinkling of memorable disco musings like Autumn Leaves (not here) and Do Or Die. The almost totally unknown Sinning and Saved are powerful numbers from the rare Muse album.
Warm Leatherette really put her on the musical map, especially her version of the title track that was an obscure synth-pop single by Daniel Miller's The Normal. She also did interesting versions of Private Life (The Pretenders) and Love Is The Drug (Roxy Music).
Disc Two, tracks 2 to 6 come from Jones' very commercially successful Nightclubbing album. I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango) and Walking In the Rain are witty, accessible pop ballads while the funky Pull Up To The Bumper is controversially sensual. The tracks from Nipple To The Bottle to My Jamaican Guy are jerky, funky and tribal with stunning vocal arrangements - all from the innovative Living My Life album.
Victor and I'm Not Perfect come from the underrated Inside Story (1986), which also contains gems like Barefoot In Beverly Hills and the soaring title track, both omitted here. Love On Top Of Love is the only track from Bulletproof Heart (1989) and a poor choice; I would have selected Amado Mio and Someone To Love.
Devoted fans will appreciate the 12-inch dance mixes on Disc Three. My favorites are She's Lost Control, Ring Of Fire and Slave To The Rhythm. This is the most extensive of the various Grace Jones compilations available as of this writing. I'm giving it 5 stars because it does offer a stunning selection of tracks. A box set is the ultimate answer to a completely comprehensive Grace Jones collection.

Brings back memories.......2007-05-18
If you liked easy listening FM radio and really miss it, this collection is for you. It is all of the things you remember hearing.
For Those Who Love Easy Listening.......2007-05-13
Along with Billy Vaughn, Percy Faith, Ray Conniff and Mantovani, Kostelanetz was one of biggest names in the 50s and 60s, in the
easy-listening category. He had good taste selecting the musics, and
his sound was "full, luxurious, beautiful".
I suggest, too, Bert Kaempfert, Clebanoff, Hugo Winterhalter, Les Baxter,
Paul Mauriat and Franck Pourcel. This 3-CDs set is very good!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a find, what a jewel........2004-01-31
When I was a teenager, I loved the Beatles and their song "Yesterday". I also loved the Monkeys. However, I had a side of me that loved Johnnie Mathis' song "The Shadow of Your Smile" and then my all time favorite albums were ones by Andre Kostelanetz. When John Kennedy was assasinated, Andre's albums were there for me. I am Black, which should not be a variable in this review, but I want to encourage those of every race to partake of this Ultimate Collection.
This set definitely covers a lot of ground. Maybe too much........2003-03-08
This is a most welcome comprehensive collection of Kostelanetz recordings covering his Columbia records career that spanned decades. It contains plenty of great examples of both his classical and pop recordings. His mastery of arrangement certainly had no equal in the 50s and 60s and there's lots and lots of proof of this spread over these discs. The first two discs are completely flawless. Practically every performance is five star quality. The first several tracks of the third disc continue the excellence but about a third of the way into this disc (and into Kostelanetz's 70s recordings) the arrangements start to sound more and more dated. There's something about the great orchestral masters adopting the styles of 1970s pop music that just doesn't hold up well today. I guess no one knew at the time that the 50s and 60s material would sound so much better so many years down the line so perhaps, no one is to blame. But I would rather have had more classical works or more 60s pop and left the 70s tracks to gather dust in the vault. Three essential tracks that are missing: "Somewhere My Love", "Bluesette" and Gershwin's "Promenade". Other than that, a really excellent (and beautifully remastered) collection.

'Ultimate Collection' - AMAZING sound!.......2007-06-24
To mark its 25th anniversary since the emergence of YMO, this new best album was released with two discs. Although there have already been a number of 'YMO Bests' and 'YMO Remixes', one of the main differences between 'UC YMO' and previously published best albums is that Ryuichi SAKAMOTO (The Last Emperor; Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence) himself is supervising the album and in charge of the selection of the tracks. Although it is all in Japanese, Sakamoto also gives intriguing commentary on each piece. The re-mastered and improved sound quality is another element that makes this best album worth having, and this also includes very rare material (TV commercial version, 7-inch single version etc.) which has never been published before. This is a Japanese import, and therefore slightly costly, but (1) Sakamoto's supervision, (2) his commentary on every track, (3) the much improved sound quality and (4) the rare material would, I believe, be reasons enough for any YMO fan to consider getting hold of this 'Ultimate Collection'!!

Customer Reviews:
Five Star Song Selection; Four Star Quality .......2006-04-05
Outstanding selection of music, as it provides plently of variety. However, the mixing of mono and stereo tracks will make you wonder if your stereo system is malfunctioning. Still, put these CDs into your dashboard and enjoy the music for a couple hundred miles. Worth the price for sure.
Great deal for the money!.......2003-01-28
This 3-CD Australian import is about the best deal you can get on Ray Conniff music. The sound quality is not perfect but the quantity more than makes up for it.
The set samples most of the albums Conniff recorded from 1956 through 1973. Much of the music is presented chronologically, at least until you get to the third disc. At times, this can be annoying so you might want to hit the "random" button on your CD player.
What is interesting about this set is that it goes deeper into the albums than most compilations. For example, "Playground In My Mind" was chosen instead of the hit title song from the album HARMONY.
It is a shame that Sony Australia didn't get copies of the original tapes from Sony New York. At times, the sound quality suffers. Mono recordings were used instead of stereo on many tracks.
The packaging doesn't include any photos of Conniff but the liner notes are good (although Ray's work from 1974 through 2000 is almost completely overlooked).
If you are new to Conniff give this set a try. You can sample 65 songs (including 5 bonus Christmas tracks from Ray's first Christmas album) at a low price. If you like what you hear, buy the complete albums on CD from the USA.

Great Collection.......2007-01-23
Here is a great collection of songs from a excellent hard rocking band.
This is a collection of their hits and alot more.
Starts off with Pictures of Matchstick men right up to the more modern version of Status Quo.
Those earlier tunes here were excellent,and they realy had a style and sound of their own.
You can hear the changes musicly they went through with this compillation of songs.
The ghost from the coast says.......2006-03-07
It's called the ultimate collection for a reason. The song selection is near perfect. The 32 bit mastering is simply amazing and has to be heard and the bonus disc is a true bonus.
