Anthology 1

:Album Description:3 LP set. No other band has had quite the same impact as the four lads from Liverpool. Over the course of eight years and more than a dozen albums, the Beatles changed popular music and culture forever, spearheading the 1960s British Invasion and shaping rock & roll along the way. Along with their amazing musical output and unprecedented worldwide celebrity, John, Paul, George, and Ringo were responsible for many pop music revolutions, major and minor--writing their own material, pushing the limits of the studio, making films of their music, printing song lyrics on albums--that today are taken for granted. Although the ...

:Album Description:Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Universal. 2008. :Indeed, there were many who thought that it would take an event as cataclysmic as the one described in the album title to get these seminal '70s soft-rockers back together. But here they are, revisiting some of their most beloved tunes as well as four new ones, on this mostly live, largely acoustic disc. Frey, Henley, Walsh, Schmit, and Felder tackle iconic Eagles standards like 'Hotel California,' 'Tequila Sunrise,' 'Take It Easy,' 'Desperado,' and 'Life in the Fast Lane' and new tunes like 'Get Over It' ...

: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: ROLLING STONESTitle: EXILE ON MAIN STREETStreet Release Date: 07/26/1994DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP essential recording:From the swaggering frustration in the first song ('I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping,' Mick Jagger sings in the hyper 'Rocks Off'), the Stones speed through familiar neighborhoods of country, blues, and R&B on Exile. They never even bother to stop when they've crashed into something. They don't leap into new worlds so much as master the old ones, turning Slim Harpo's blues obscurity 'Hip Shake' into a harp-and-piano steamroller and setting spines a-cracking in 'Ventilator Blues.' Both 'Tumbling ...

:Album Description:Japanese-only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) paper sleeve pressing of this absolute classic album from the Rock legends, originally released in 1973. SHM-CDs can be played on any audio player and delivers unbelievably high-quality sound. You won't believe it's the same CD! Universal. 2008. essential recording:Buoyed by the runaway commercial success of Led Zeppelin IV, Jimmy Page used this 1973 follow-up to hone his already impressive production skills, and the result was a collection sporting an impressively expansive sound. Benefiting--especially on tracks such as 'Dancing Days Are Here Again,' 'The Crunge,' and 'Over the Hills and Far Away'--was Zeppelin's always underrated ...

Beatles for Sale

:Album Description:A testament to the abundance of perseverance and talent within the Beatles' ranks, their fourth album was recorded in and around a busy North American and British tour schedule. Beatles For Sale also marked their last full-length release loaded with cover songs, as the Fab Four moved towards writing more of their own material. Interspersed between Beatles classics such as 'Eight Days a Week' and the Dylan-inspired 'I'm a Loser' are faithful renditions of songs by Buddy Holly and Carl Perkins (featuring the only lead vocals by Ringo Starr and George Harrison on this album). The frenetic, inspired take on Chuck Berry's ...

Let It Bleed [DSD]

: : Rolling Stones Photos Amazon.com essential recording:One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky 'Love in Vain') and country ('Country Honk,' the two-stepping alter ego of 'Honky-Tonk Women') before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped 'Gimme Shelter,' the drug-reality anthem 'Monkey Man,' the epic 'You Can't Always Get What You Want,' and ...

Beggars Banquet

: : Rolling Stones Photos Amazon.com essential recording:Opening with 'Sympathy for the Devil,' the Stones' infamous we-are-evil poem, this all-original 1968 album began a quality streak almost unmatched in rock & roll. Mick Jagger begins writing from the working-class hero's perspective--especially on the anthem 'Street Fighting Man' and 'Salt of the Earth'--and Keith Richards buttresses his partner with rock-solid slide licks recently graduated from the School of Old Blues Records. 'Jig-Saw Puzzle,' which inexplicably never became a hit, is the only known instance of Jagger's describing the Stones' individual personalities in verse. --Steve Knopper Amazon.com Music Reviews:Beggars Banquet is among the Stones two or ...

The Division Bell

: :As Roger Waters's solo career set into a sunset of suspiciously self-serving Wall revivals and compelling if modest-selling solo efforts, his former band became one of the few outfits in the soft live market of the 1990s to burnish its stadium-filling appeal. But their recorded output wasn't quite so rosy. As all post-Dark Side of the Moon albums must have a Big Important Theme, The Division Bell is vaguely about levels of separation (did you say, duh!?), with more than one not-so-opaque lyrical jab at the estranged Waters. But there's a sense that the band may have put more thought into its trademark ...

:Album Description:2005 Japanese standard jewel case pressing of Led Zeppelin's 1970 album. Features the same tracks and mastering as the US edition but includes an OBI and Japanese/English insert. Warner. 2005. :After plundering the Yardbirds' legacy and Willie Dixon (among others) for their blues-riff-heavy first two albums, Jimmy Page and company surprised many listeners with the strong acoustic/folk sensibility displayed on III. Page aficionados shouldn't have been caught off guard; the guitarist had toyed with similar sensibilities and modalities during his brief tenure with the Yardbirds (most notably 'White Summer' from the Little Games album). Ever the creative thieves, Zep kick off the ...
