5 out of 5 stars I simply love it. Cyndi Lauper rocks!!.......2007-05-27

this is her best album in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars An essential.......2007-05-21

One of the greatest female artist albums of all time, in the pop/rock genre. I have never tired of listening occasionally. (The haunting "Time After Time" is one of my favorite tunes of all time).

Nicely remastered and there are 3 bonus tracks of live performances of songs that are on the original album playlist: "Money Changes Everything", "She Bop", and "All Through The Night". I prefer the studio versions, but they are on there too. If you are not familiar with this album, I'll just say that there's something there for everyone. Not much "filler" here.

The original recording quality was exceptionally strong in my opinion, and I'm not quite sure if this reissue is of that level. But it seems to be quite good and this is certainly a 5 star product.

Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Cyndi Just Wants To Have Fun On Her Debut Album.......2007-04-29

This is Cyndi Lauper's debut album, released in December, 1983. This album catapulted Cyndi into stardom with such hits as "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "She Bop" and "Time After Time". As of 2002 & counting, it has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide. The album peaked at #4 on the U.S. Billboard pop albums chart. With a series of quirky videos, Cyndi dominated MTV for several months. Her bizarre fashion, consisting of multiple layers of thrift store clothing and dozens of accessories, influenced fashion for the last half of the 1980s. "She's So Unusual" received mixed reviews on it's release (it's sole Grammy was for Janet Perr's Album Package). In recent years, however, the album has been re-appraised by the music media, and songs like "Time After Time" are considered pop classics. In 2003, the album was ranked number 494 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Highlights include every song, especially the first six. The three live bonus tracks, even make it more special.

P.S. - Better late then never.

5 out of 5 stars Blast from the Past.......2007-03-11

Listening to this cd brought back fun memories.
This cd is one of cyndi's best.

5 out of 5 stars Still Cyndi's best............2007-02-19

I'll never forget the first time I heard "Girls (Just Wanna Have Fun)" It was 1983 and I was just out of Junior High. I thought it was a bit cheezy at first but then it grew on me. Still does, in fact. Then I bought the cassette. When I heard "Money Changes Everything" I was mezmoried. WOW! This album rocks. There were times when listening to the entire album a few times in a row was not unusual. So when it came time that I bought a cd player this was one of the first albums I got. All of the songs on here are classic 1980's. Even her little diddy "He's So Unusual" is great, complete with 1930's style. "Time After Time" still brings a tear to my eye with it's haunting backround and wonderfully sung vocals. This is Cyndi's defeying moment! But my favorite track has to be "She Bop" With it's classic 80's style synth and Bangles influencing chorus this track rocks. Way to go Cyndi. You have created a masterpiece!!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

      5 out of 5 stars A Splendid Souvenir to Remember a Spectacular Performance!.......2003-10-30

      Having been fortunate to have seen the English National Opera's production in 1988 of "Orpheus" with Wilson and Pountney's outrageously naughty English text, this highlight CD serves as an audio souvenir. Too bad the ENO didn't have the foresight to film the production-would have made a great DVD. The CD booklet does have a few photos of the sets designed by Gerald Scarfe (who also designed Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album artwork) so you get a taste, combined with the CD selections, of what the production was like.

      5 out of 5 stars god moves in a peculiar way.........i am god.............2002-01-17

      Offenbach is great anyhow, but this recording is riotous. The translation into English is first-rate, really funny stuff, and the singing is pretty good, too. Very worthwhile.

      5 out of 5 stars Orpheus in the Underworld.......2000-03-17

      The rewritten lyrics, in English, are some of the wittiest and wicked in operetta. Wilson and Pountney have recaptured the spirit of naughtiness, not a small accomplishment in our licentious times. Though delighted to have the highlights, I wished a CD set or video of the full production were available.

      4 out of 5 stars Excerpts.......1999-12-23

      This is a collection of excerpts. It is in English and is quite good. The performance of the entire operetta has been discontinued and it is a pity.

      Amazon.com's Best of 2001

      Barbara Cook is one of today's most accomplished song stylists, and if you don't believe us, just listen to this live album. It's a master class in the art of singing. It documents an evening at Carnegie Hall during which Cook proved that she can dissect and extract the substance out of the simplest of lyrics. One of the best surprises is "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" (from Company), which is taken at an amiable trot and allows the singer to display its humor. Cook is not a swinging singer and uptempo is not her pace; give her a ballad, though, and she'll wring the last drop of emotion out of it. Her version of "Losing My Mind" (here paired with "Not a Day Goes By") is simply astonishing. The singer also performs songs that Sondheim has said he wished he had written, an awful lot of them by Harold Arlen. No complaints here. Guest Malcolm Gets solos on a few songs and duets with Cook on others, including "Let's Face the Music and Dance." This is classic material done masterfully by a classic singer. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

      5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2004-02-20

      Having read the other reviews there is little more for me to add. I have been a Barbara Cook fan for a longtime and for me, this is one of her best concerts ever. I do, however, prefer the DVD. As with some other reviewers, I do not want to hear Malcolm Gets (as much as I like him) when I want to listen to Barbara. Her flawless interpretation of music is a hard act to follow for any singer! I managed to see this concert 4 times over a year and a half. Each time I saw her the voice was stronger and more assured (I would not have thought that possible). I can't help but think we will have the pleasure of hearing Ms Cook for many years to come. For those people who enjoyed his CD I strongly recommend purchasing the DVD. Barabara's rendition of So Many People is breathtaking (literally, I don't think I breathed once during the entire song). If you ever have opportunity to see her live - go! She has an ability to make you feel as if every song she sings and every word she speaks is directed to you alone. She can take a large venue and make it feel as intimate as your own living room. Having had the pleasure of meeting her I can say she is as youthful and pleasurable in person as she is in her performance.

      5 out of 5 stars Everyone Should Whistle.......2003-10-11

      After being privileged to attend this concert, I had to own the CD. Once a lyric coloratura and the original Cunegonde in Bernstein's Candide, Ms. Cook has become (in her 70s) a true diva, blessed with a velvety, warm sound. Every note has meaning. Her high B-flat on "Ice Cream" is still the envy of any soprano today. Everyone should whistle after hearing the superb performances on this CD. Even better, though, is the experience of having been in the concert hall for the live performance. Brava, Ms. Cook!

      5 out of 5 stars An amazing intro to the body of work of a true master.......2003-06-16

      When I first bought tickets for the 'Mostly Sondheim' show on tour (in San Francisco) I figured it couldn't be too bad. Besides, I had only been exposed to a few of his songs (Anyone Can Whistle, Losing My Mind...) and had only seen "A Little Night Music". On the way out of the theater I immediately picked up this recording of the program. It is truly amazing. I immediately began listening to it and have barely put it down in the last few months. Furthermore, my Sondheim CD collection increased in size from an unflattering zero to five (and it's still growing)! This is an amazing introduction to the works of Stephen Sondheim, who is now my favorite modern musical composer). Buy this now if you don't already have it!

      4 out of 5 stars Beautiful, moving concert.......2003-04-13

      This is a wonderful CD set with a great selection of songs. I do want to express a slight reservation, however. Barbara Cook has been one of my favorite singers for a number of years and the way her voice defies time is extraordinary -- for her to be singing with such bright, beautiful tone in her mid-70s with no wobble or beat in the voice is an amazing achievment.

      I do have to say that by 2001, when this concert was recorded, Cook seemed to have a lost a little bit of power and intensity in her singing. This is only natural for someone of her age. Her voice is still lovely, but you can sense her keeping it in reserve a bit. She's as expressive as ever, but compare the rendition of "I got lost in his arms" on this album to the one on her previous album recorded in 1999, "The Champion Season", and there's less urgency and vocal depth in her singing here. That said, the high B at the end of "Ice Cream" is sensational.

      So, despite that caveat, this is, again, a wonderful album, a must for Cook fans, especially for the gorgeous renditions of songs I'd never thought I'd get to hear her perform: "Not a Day Goes By", "Happiness/Loving You", "San Francisco", etc. Buy it!

      1 out of 5 stars ... and I love Barbara Cook.......2003-02-11

      This recording is a disappointment for me. It is not her best work, and Malcolm Gets is uninspired. My biggest complaint however is the engineering of the recording. Throughout the speaking was to soft, the singing volumes uneven, and the applause deafening. I will be passing this CD on to friends, and will later donate it to my local library.

      If Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual evokes memories dominated mostly by her cartoonish image, then try to get over it so you can pay attention to the music. Simply, Cyndi Lauper has a wonderful, emotive voice. Her vocals have an impish quality, but there's also tremendous strength, articulation, and nuance. Who would disagree that "Time After Time" (later covered by both Everything but the Girl and Miles Davis, if you need further proof of her credibility) is as heartstring-tugging as "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is frivolous, or that "All Through the Night" is as longing as "She-Bop" is intense? The instrumental arrangements are quite inventive and rich, and although the musicality is pointedly '80s, the album sounds more winsome than dated. The title of Lauper's debut isn't self-deprecating or even self-parodying; it's self-congratulatory. Listen to it again, and you'll find this pleasure to be far from guilty. --Beth Bessmer

      4 out of 5 stars SACD review.......2005-04-11

      This is a terrific album that still holds up pretty well when played 20 years later.....but how I wish this SACD release was in multi channel format! It sounds terrific, but with some proper care, a 5.1 mix of this could be awesome. Alas, maybe one day someone will do it properly

      5 out of 5 stars classic 80's.......2005-03-17

      I believe the first time i heard this album I may have been 3 or 4, i dont remember. What i do remember is that i loved it. I remember dancing to "All Through the Night" & "She Bop". Hearing this cd again, now that im in my 20's really takes me back to the days of the 80s, when i was little, and music was good.

      5 out of 5 stars In Love With This Unusual Artist.......2004-08-09

      In 1980, Cyndi Lauper released an album with the band Blue Angel, which she led. In the US, it flopped. Then she was forced to quit because she lost her singing voice. Doctors didn't expect her to sing again. This almost shattered her dreams of success in music. In the following years, she proved them wrong namely in 1984. Those who know these events are amazed by her miraculous recovery as they listen to her sing.

      When Cyndi Lauper released her debut album "She's So Unusual" and her first single "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", she instantly took the world by storm. She was often compared to Madonna, who was also newly emerging at the time. More than just her wild image and wild antics proved that she is a true work of art. Such quality led many critics expecting her to stay on top for many years. She later earned the Grammy for Best New Artist for 1984.

      The wild pop music, which matches perfectly with her image, keeps listeners smiling through every note. Its funky and dance additions keep the music unique and timeless. Therefore, this is an album that capitalizes the 1980's. The catchy beats remain catchy today. Her throaty vocals blend perfectly with the theme and offers the added fun theme. She never loses her edge with any song as she sings odes (...), girl power, love, and more. Through the wildness, she rooms two ballads, which are performed beautifully: hit singles "Time After Time" and "All Through the Night". Despite the mellow theme, the emotional value never loses its touch.

      Her overall musical quality have many fans looking beyond her image and crediting her rightfully as a true artist. "She's So Unusual" is the essential album for any Cyndi Lauper and/ or 1980's music fan. This will surely keep listeners dancing for many more years. Those interested in hearing a Cyndi Lauper update should also buy her 2003 successful release "At Last", which launched her as the biggest comeback of that year. This combination makes for great musical enjoyment.

      3 out of 5 stars An Icon While She Lasted.......2004-06-19

      Cyndi Lauper was indeed a poster child of the early 80's, and was indeed one of the women who changed the face of music. Her voice, while lacking in soul and sultriness, is of incredible range, and no one could ever sing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" like the Cyndi did with her thin, annoying, peachy voice. I do like her very much.

      But I must say that Ms. Lauper has never been able to transcend her original comedy, and has never been able to reinvent, like another female icon of the early 80's, Madonna. While it is true that Cyndi possessed a vocal range Madonna could never reach, it is not completely fair to accuse Mrs. Ritchie of never being a good singer. Her voice was indeed at one time powerful and rich and dark, filled with African American influence, but lacking in octave capability (which came about later in the Ray of Light Era). Please do not compare Cyndi and Madonna, each has given their share in their own way.

      Other than that, even though Cyndi has not been able to become an enduring Icon, she was still one once. And even though the spotlight has dimmed, Ms. Lauper has indeed retained her original punkiness and comedy.

      5 out of 5 stars A Classic Masterpeice.......2004-06-15

      I just love everything about Cyndi Lauper.Her music takes me back to my teen years.Especially this album filled with such memorable rock songs.I remember seeing the video for Time After Time,and I cried my eyes out.Girls Just Want To Have Fun seems to be everyone's favourite.Cyndi is so colourful that all her colour seems to spread all over everything she does.I loved her video for She Bop.Another favourite of mine is All Through The Night.There's something special about the sound of that song.Definetly one of the best albums from the 80s.

        Album Description

        Released for the first time ever, this concert recording of Jan DeGaetani showcases the legendary mezzo's work in the felid of early music- recorded in 1977, and the peak of her powers. It is a little known fact the DeGaetani's career started as a performer of early music, so that this disc is a revelatory addition to her discography. The spectacular flexibility and purity of intonation that DeGaetani brought to so many contemporary scores serve her beautifully in this well-recorded document. Accompanied by the great lutenist Paul O'Dette, as well as viola da gamba player Judith Davidoff and a shawm player Philip West, this recital ranges from the Medieval music through the Renaissance, and includes music by John Dowland, Donato de Cascia, Hayne van Ghizeghem, Giulio Caccini, and Oswald von Wolkenstein.

        5 out of 5 stars A Comic-Opera Treasure!.......2007-01-28

        Dittersdorf is a sort of working-man's Mozart; in fact, this opera sounds similar to some of Mozart's early operas. But Mozart sought to break the rules and to explore new musical ideas; Dittersdorf is not an innovator...yet he is no less a master! This performance, too, is a materpiece of refined (not always!) comedy; the arias include some extremely difficult vocal leaps and trills, yet the primary joy is the witty verse. W.H. Auden (no less!) ramrodded this translation to English. And Anna Russell, famed for her "Analysis of Wagner's Ring Cycle" steals every scene she's in! Ad-libbing shamelessly, her introductory aria, all by itself, is worth more than the purchase price!

        5 out of 5 stars an obscure delight!.......2002-07-31

        Eleanor Steber's image on the cover of this set caught my eye while rummaging through the cut-out bins of San Francisco on a recent opera whirlwind. What a lost treasure this performance is - recorded "LIVE" in NYC 1965! All the principles shine, their energy ebullient. Don't hesitate, buy it and smile before it disappears.
