5 out of 5 stars Awesome......As Always!!!!!!!.......2007-06-27

Eric Records has done it again!!!! Volume 10 of the Hard to Find 45's series just might be the best one so far!!! So many rare gems like "Roses are Red My Love" by the You Know Who Group, "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody" by James Ray, the stereo mix of "She's About A Mover" by the Sir Douglas Quintet and "Ruby Duby Du" by Tobin Mathews and Co. All I've got to do now is pick up Vol. 9 and I'll be set!

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as the others.......2007-06-27

Everytime it's probably more difficult to come up with follow-ups in
long series and still try be a 5 star CD. This Eric series has been
first class all over but this latest edition (Vol. 10) does not hold
"rare" or hard to get songs. Most of these can be found on ACE's
wonderful TEENAGE CRUSH series. There are only a few highlights like
Jerry Wallace (Ther She Goes) and Barry Young (One Has My Name...)
but the rest has been released before on other 50's & 60's compilations.

5 out of 5 stars Welcome back, "Hard To Find 45's on CD"!.......2007-06-12

With the declining sales and profitibility of music on CD, the mega-music companies that hold the rights to much of early and classic rock music are less and less interested in offering product of all but the most well-known and expectedly financially advantageous music from rock music's genesis. Disappointingly, even some of the independents that used to feed the die-hard fans and collectors have pulled in the reins on dredging up and reissuing the long-lost tunes that once were the staple of a.m. radio. While there may be technical issues with getting some of this remaining music on CD in quality form, thankfully there are still a few companies that satisfy the salivating collectors. After a five-year hiatus, Eric Records, the big little reissue company, sends two more volumes of its extraordinary "Hard To Find 45's on CD" roaring into the marketplace. This volume, tenth in the series, serves up a generous 24 tracks with nearly half of them making their CD debut. Among these virgin-to-CD tracks are Barry Young's Dean Martinesque "One Has My Name", Andrea Carroll's "It Hurts To Be Sixteen" and "Roses Are Red My Love from the "You Know Who Group". So the claim made a few years back by one of the then most notable reissue companies that virtually everything of that era worth reissuing was already out there, just wasn't, and still isn't, true. Beyond the appearance of new-to-CD tracks, adding to the appeal of this collection are tunes seldom found elsewhere on CD, and almost certainly, not of this quality. Notable in this category are Dale and Grace's follow-up hit "Stop and Think It Over" and "Talk To Me" from Sunny and the Sunglows. The revelations don't stop here either, as there are the stereo debut of Sir Douglas Quintet's "She's About A Mover" and the original versions of Donnie Brooks' "Mission Bell", Jerry Wallace's "There She Goes" and Adam Wade's "Take Good Care of Her". When all is said and done, this CD is jam-packed with goodies to satiate both the seasoned collector and casual listener. In keeping with Eric Records' usual high standards, the 12-page liner notes booklet contains backround info on each of the included acts and all the tracks are very clean sounding with many in stereo (tracks 2,8,10-12,14,22-24 in particular). While some have been lifted from vinyl, considerable effort has gone into presenting them in their best possible sonic state. If any fault must be found, there is an error in the liner notes regarding Dale and Grace. The duo of Jimmy Dale Gordon and Grace Sattenfield referred to here are not the Dale Houston and Grace Broussard that recorded in the early 60's. This "reinvented" Dale and Grace that run the D & G Ministries have hijacked the original duo's moniker and, while not claiming to be the original artists, capitalize on the confusion it causes. But as far as this CD is concerned, one is hard-pressed to find a better executed "oldies" collection (but there is still volume nine in this series to be considered!). Bravo to Eric! And with apologies to Andrea True, "More, More, More"!

Eric Records is at it again. They have just released two more volumes of their popular "Hard To Find 45's on CD" series. Volume 10 features two dozen tunes from the years 1960-1965. Collectors should be quite pleased with the opportunity to latch on to digitally remastered versions of some long forgotten favorites as well as to sample a number of songs from the lower reaches of the Hot 100 they might not have even heard before. However, as Eric continues to mine the more obscure stuff you must be prepared for a few disappointments. For me, "Hard to Find 45's On CD: Vol 10" turns out to be a bit of a mixed bag. I was extremely pleased to find Jimmy Clanton's classic hit "Venus In Blue Jeans" in this collection. This is certainly among my very favorite tunes from this period as is Sunny & the Sunglows superb rendition of Little Willie John's "Talk To Me" which also appears here. You may or may not be familiar with James Gilreath's 1963 hit "Little Band of Gold". This is a terrific tune that is extremely hard to come by and I was happy to see that Eric managed to include it here. If you are a fan of group harmony then you will also enjoy the newly re-mastered version of the Castelles 1962 hit "So This Is Love". For my money, Adam Wade is one of the most underrated performers of the rock and roll era. You will find the original version of "Take Good Care of Her" in this collection. What a great record! And for the first time ever you can enjoy a stereo recording of the Sir Douglas Quintet's 1965 hit "She's About A Mover". In the category of pleasant surprises I would recommend to you a pair of tunes. My favorite has to be Andrea Carroll's "It Hurts To Be Sixteen", a real period piece from the summer of '63. I would also recommend for your consideration Trade Martin's 1962 entry "That Stranger Used To Be My Girl". Nice tune!
As is the case with the other volumes in this series "Hard To Find 45's on CD: Vol 10" includes a thoughtful 12 page booklet featuring information and photos on each of the artists as well as Billboard chart information for each tune. The remastering job is outstanding. As I indicated earlier I did find 3 or 4 "clunkers" on this one and that is what prevented me from rating this collection five stars. Nevertheless I do appreciate the fact that Eric continues to make these extremely rare recordings available to us. At the end of the day this is a disc I can recommend to both the serious collector and to those who are simply interested in exploring the music of this era.

5 out of 5 stars They were the Greatest!.......2007-05-22

Loved this Album! The first disc has on it some of the best songs they ever recorded! Songs like "Temptation" and "Crying in the Rain" highlight how great Don's voice was at this time! He could sing anything and make it his! Not to discount Phil's "greatest-of-all-time" Harmonizing!! No one has ever been able to duplicate these wonderful guys! It was a pity when they split up, they just didn't sound as good apart. I think they needed each other to bolster one anothers talent. i will probably play this first side until it wears out! Can't get enough of it!! I'm a True Fan Forever! Since I was about 12 yrs old. Jeanie

5 out of 5 stars Walk Right Back-The Everly Brothers.......2007-05-12

This CD is great. It has some songs on it that are hard to find.

5 out of 5 stars Compared to nothing...this is just great music.......2006-06-08

No doubt, the material the Everlys cut for Cadence is classic stuff...it defined the era in which it was released, and remains eminently listenable today; great songs, great voices, great arrangements, all state of the art in the late 50s.

Everyone is always quick to compare the Warner Brothers material to the Cadence material...and find the WB stuff lacking. That is a gross injustice. Simply stated, the Every Brothers were considered passe' in the wake of the British Invasion, just like Roy Orbison, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and a host of other 50s artists. Even King Elvis did not fare that well then. Many of the songs, performances and arrangements contained in this collection WERE hits, many more of them would have been hits had they been released by a "hot commodity".

Most of this material is just very, very good. To compare it to the Cadence material is silly and unfair; the times they were a'changin'. Honestly, this holds up very well when compared to the Candence sides. For the most part, they are great songs, well-arranged and (of course) well-sung. Overall, I think the Rhino 4-CD box covers this period a bit better; better song selection and better sound, but this is still a great collection and a great buy. Long live the Everly Brothers!

3 out of 5 stars There's Better Than This.......2006-05-02

The Everly Brothers are an institution and are deservedly one of the greatest talents, duo or otherwise, of the last century. It would be such a travesty if the uninitiated judged these wonderful singers based upon this album alone. While there may a few keepers on this album, it's mostly stuff that I wouldn't want to hear more than once. To appreciate the wonderful music of the Everlys, buy the Cadence album.

5 out of 5 stars Lots of Great Music.......2005-03-05

This Cd is a must for anyone who loves the Evwerly Brothers. All their hits are here, including Gone Gone Gone which I loved when I was a teenager. I would put it on my dad's old RCA floor model Hi-Fi which had a massive bass speaker. I would turn up the volume and the windows would rattle in the house.
This album also contains some filler which get a little irritating unless you are a dedicated Everly Brother fan.
The sound quality is excellent and the packaging is good.
I think this is a pretty good buy.

Dimitri Tiomkin was one of the most prominent composers of Hollywood's Golden Age and beyond, his career spanning a half-century and some of America's most classic films. This sprawling, four-disc anthology (its title a marketing nod to the modern remake of one of Tiomkin's notable collaborations with John Wayne) features new digital recordings of full-bodied performances by the City of Prague Orchestra and Festival Chorus, the most ambitious and comprehensive tribute to the composer yet attempted. There's something here for film score buffs (rarities like a suite from his sci-fi genre-defining Thing From Another World and the "Main Theme" for the pilot of TV's Wild, Wild West) and novice alike; indeed one could scarcely ask for a more complete overview of Tiomkin's robust orchestral oeuvre. Divided into four chapters, disc one chronicles how the Ukrainian immigrant concocted a rich Western film heritage (including such genre landmarks as Red River, High Noon, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and Rio Bravo) from largely European traditions, while the next two CD's cover his rousing work for epics and thrillers of every stripe, and collaborations with Hitchcock, Wayne, Capra, Stevens and more. The concluding disc pays homage to Tiomkin the unlikely pop tunesmith, via his hit vocal themes to Rawhide, Wild is the Wind and High Noon's "Do Not Forsake Me." --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars More expensive than the other Essential but worth it........2007-04-22

This is an excellent set of music of Dimitri Tiomkin's music! The 4th disc is short (at just over 30 minutes), but thats because it is just the vocal versions of tracks which appeared in instrumental form throughout the first 3 discs. Whenever you buy a silva screen compilation, the first thing you ask yourself is 'when were these recordings made' and 'do I have these tracks on other compilations? Thankfully, this set has TONS of new recordings, but there is some recycled stuff and they are as follows:

Dial M For Murder is from the 1993 History of Hitchcock Vol. I, while Strangers on a Train is from 1995's History of Hitchcock Vol. II.

Three tracks originate from 1994's "Music From the Films Of John Wayne". They are "The High and the Mighty", "The Alamo - Overture" and "The Alamo - Green Leaves of Summer".


Red River is from 1996's "How The West Was Won: Classic Western Film Scores Vol. One".

The Thing From Another World suite is from the excelllent 1998 set "Alien Invasion: Space And Beyond II"

Many tracks first appeared on "Way Out West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection Vol. Two". They are: "Duel In The Sun", "The Alamo (Davy Crockett)", "Friendly Persuasion", "Giant (Main Theme)", "Gunfight at the OK Corral", "High Noon", "Rio Bravo", and "The Unforgiven (The Need For Love)".

The rest of the tracks are brand spankin new, and most are not available on other discs, so snag this one up in a hurry!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation of an important composer........2004-07-16

This long overdue collection of Tiomkin standards and rarities is a must for any fan of symphonic music; albeit, for film or concert hall. As the liner notes clarify; these recordings are a real labor of love for James Fitzpatrick and the Silva Screen team. Tiomkin is; undoubtedly, one of the most difficult of composers to replicate. This recording comes extremely close to "hitting the nail on the head" particularly with tracks such as: "Across the Texas Panhandle" from the Unforgiven, The Entr'acte from Duel in the Sun, The Guns of Navarone, The War Wagon, and the main title and Jett Rink theme from Giant. This recording is a bargain, particularly for collectors who have sought after many of Tiomkin's composer conducted soundtracks (which are getting harder and harder to obtain). Listeners who enjoy this set should consider seeking out previous cd releases of the soundtracks to "The Guns of Navarone" (SONY, Varese Sarabande), "The Fall of the Roman Empire" (Varese Sarabande, PEG), "55 Days at Peking" (Varese Sarabande), and "The Alamo" :original soundtrack (still available on SONY-Legacy).

5 out of 5 stars "film composer Dimitri Tiomkin gave his all and then some".......2004-07-13

Silva America presents the ultimate in film music during the illustrious career of an icon and legendary composer of film scores ~ "Alamo:Dimitri Tiomkin Essential Film Collection/O.S.T", featuring some long forgotten 53 cues that sent chills and thrills into the pulses of world events ~ selections from a limited collectors edition that would make any "film-score-buff" green with envy.

Tiomkin was born in Ukraine, Russia [1894-1979] attended and graduated from St. Petersburg Academy[studied under the famed composer Glazunov] ~ had a degree in music as well as law ~ came to America in 1925, shown great interest for Native American music early in his film career.

Great fondness for "The Western" ~ "DUEL IN THE SUN" (1946) (Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton, Lionel Barrymore, Lilian Gish and Charles Bickford - one of biggest and successful epic Westerns ever, score & photography was simply breathtaking), "RED RIVER" (1948) (John Wayne, Monty Cliff and Walter Brennan - the Duke should have won an Oscar for his performance as the aging cantankerous cattle baron)"HIGH NOON" (1952)(classic film with Gary Cooper in his Oscar winning performance of Will Kane), "TENSION AT TABLE ROCK" (1956), "GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL" (1957)(Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp & Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday pulled this off with the help of the Main Theme), "NIGHT PASSAGE" (1957), "RIO BRAVO" (1959) (top box office leaders John Wayne, Dean Martin, Walter Brennan and Ricky Nelson), "THE YOUNG LAND" (1959) (young Dennis Hopper), "RAWHIDE" (TV Series) (1959-66) (Eric Fleming as trail boss Gil Favor & Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates), "THE UNFORGIVEN" (1960) (Burt Lancaster, Audie Murphy and Audrey Hepburn), "THE WILD, WILD WEST" (TV Series) (1965-69)(Tiomkin's music never saw the light of day), "WAR WAGON" (1967) (John Wayne & Kirk Douglas starred) (beautifully melodic) ~ it's easy to see why Tiomkin loved Western lore.

Second disc contains The Epics ~ "LAND OF THE PHARAOHS" (1955) (Jack Hawkins as Pharaoh Cheops and a beautiful Joan Collins as his scheming wife), "55 DAYS AT PEKING" (1963) (Charlton Heston, David Niven and Ava Gardner is the all star cast), "THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE" (1964) (featuring Alec Guinness as emperor Marcus Aurelius), "CIRCUS WORLD" (1964) (John Wayne, Claudia Cardinale and Rita Hayworth under the big top) ~ next we Hitchcock Thrillers with "STRANGERS ON A TRAIN" (1951) (a masterpiece film featuring Robert Walker and Farley Granger are both very convincing as we learn, never talked to strangers on a train or anywhere), "DIAL M FOR MURDER" (1954) (tense moments come from Grace Kelly, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings - they don't get any better than this) ~ finally Drama and High Adventure with "HIGH AND MIGHTY" (1954) (another outstanding performance by John Wayne, as the co-pilot of an airline whistling the haunting theme), "GIANT" (1956)(another big epic film with Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean and Chill Wills show us what it's like to be a Texan, with oil and money), "WILD IS THE WIND" (1957) (Anthony Quinn, Anna Magnani and Anthony Franciosa), "THE GUNS OF NAVARONE" (1961) (World War II film featuring Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, David Niven and Stanley Baker on a small Greek Island trying to outwit the Germans and a very big gun) ~ some of Tiomkin's most inspiring themes rise to the surface.

On disc three ~ as we continue with Drama and High Adventures "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" (1946) (James Stewart, Donna Reed, Thomas Mitchell, Lionel Barrymore and Ward Bond with wholesome warm and endearing themes from our favorite composer), "TARZAN AND THE MERMAIDS" (1948) (in his 12th film as Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller still had what it takes to swim and defeat the man-god Balu - Weissmuller and Tiomkin the perfect combination for this Tarzan adventure), "CYRANO DE BERGERAC" (1950) (Jose Ferrer stars as Edmond Rostand's famous swordsman with a even more famous nose), "THE WELL" (1951) (intense cues give the film musical triumphs in final scenes), "THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD" (1951) (exciting Howard Hawks film with a score to match), "FRIENDLY PERSUASION" (1956) (director William Wyler shows the life and times of a Quaker family played by Gary Cooper, Dorothy Mcguire and Anthony Perkins during the American Civil War, very touching), "THE ALAMO" (1960) (big budget epic western with Big John Wayne it's producer, director and star as Davy Crockett with a haunting and never to be forgotten "The Green Leaves of Summer"), "TOWN WITHOUT PITY" (1961) (Kirk Douglas in a post-war Germany story, blends jazz themes with Tiomkin signature arrangements) ~ Tiomkin always made the difference when it came to scoring a film.

The last and final disc four ~ The Tiomkin Vocal Songbook featuring "This Then is Texas" (Giant), "Rawhide" (Rawhide), "Do Not Forsake Me" (High Noon), "Follow the River" (Night Passage), "The Ballad of Jett Rink" (Giant), "Thee I Love" (Friendly Percuasion), "It's A Wonderful Life", "Wild Is The Wind", "The High and the Mighty", The Ballad of the War Wagon" (The War Wagon), "Rio Bravo", "Strange are the Ways of Love" (The Young Land), "The Ballad of Jim West" (The Wild Wild West), "The Wild Wild West" (The Wild Wild West) ~ many were hit makers of the day and in the top ten.

Outstanding performances by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (Nic Raine, Paul Bateman, Mario Klemens - are the conductors), Crouch End Festival Chorus (David Temple - choir master), featuring vocals by Jason Howard and Keith Ferreira ~ hats off to James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Olilvia Tiomkin Douglas, John Waxman, Rick Clark and Gareth Williams (associate producers) ~ all film producers and directors welcomed the legendary composer with open arms for their forthcoming projects ~ the "film-score-buff" collectors are ecstatic about this four disc release on the essential film music collection of DIMITRI TIOMKIN, the arrangements and performances are top notch inclusive of HDCD/Dolby Surround.

When listening to the music of a film, you had the feeling of the storyline, characters and convictions of the whole picture, they'll never be another to come this way again ~ Silva America has outdone themselves on this one, it is definitely a five star film score box set...gotta love it!

              Here it is, The new album from Walker and the group of musicians known as the Brotherhood of the Grape. 14 new songs from the former singer/songwriter of the critically acclaimed alternative/rock band Q-South. The one and only rock/soca artist has done it again."Almost Homeless" the C.D. sounds like an Angel and a Devil fighting on the Shoulders of Charles Bukowski. Walkers vocal are raw and beautiful, and the songs are deep and heartfelt.

              5 out of 5 stars As irresistible as a ý97 Napa Cab.......2003-08-21

              Almost Homeless is an engaging first offering from Walker and a cast of South Queens bar band all-stars. Walker and Ed Klinger his primary collaborator have been fixtures on the NY music scene since the formation of their seminal alt-rock band Q-South in the 90's. This disc reveals a more mature writing style which manages to be comforting and edgy at the same time. The lyrics weave a tapestry of love, loss, hope, and hate. The melodies are engaging, with harmonies on several tunes that would make Lennon and McCartney proud. The fourth cut "What Went Wrong" has a 60's soul pop hook that is so infectious you'll find yourself humming it in the shower. "Vacilador" (Steinbeck reference??) is an upbeat pop tune that will keep your feet tapping. "What About Now" paints lyrical visions not unlike a Hemmingway novel. It's been a while since I've encountered a CD that never seems to get tired. Almost Homeless has broken the one hit per disc trend of recent pop music. It's thoroughly enjoyable from the moment you draw the cork, until its crisp finish. Do yourself a favor, and pick up this disc, it will not disappoint.
