CD RECOMMEND WORTH BUYING

Additional info : This release was also among the first local project with HDCD pressing (pressed from HK). Crossover 105.1 had a run of hip comps like this called UNWIND (Sony Music) which features WITHOUT HER - Blood Sweat & Tears, SOFT MELODY - JOHN KAIZAN NEPTUNE). Warner's had their own version as well featuring rare cut LET'S BE FREINDS by Marilyn Scott. Personally, this is one of the best when it came out. I paerticularly like JON LUCIEN, MFSB with CARLA BENSON.

Title: Classics - 16 World Class Crossover Music
Artist: Various Original Artists
Label: Sony BMG Music
Year Of Release: 1999

The tracks in this compilation were personally selected by Brother Wayne, one of the popular personalities of DWWK-FM 101.9, The Jazz Authority, back in the '70s. His favourites are presented here in this DWBM 105.1fm compilation, including the full-length version of Michael Pedicin Jr.'s (Happiness Is) You featuring The Jones Girls.





TRACK LIST

my favorite DM album would have to be their 2 CD box set 101 (with a great inlay of artwork and photos) which is their live concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl.

I had this on tape in the late 80s and I remember whenever I listened to it inside the car, I get goosebumps whenever I hear that "Good evening Pasadeenaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! followed by the familiar beat of "Strange Love". I read a 1st hand account of that concert and one could only wish to be there.

This is one of their best concert CDs and a greatest hits album at the same time - featuring most of the songs of DM we grew up with.

Ok sana ito, PM kaya lang 50USD ang presyo ng isang cd sa ebay at amazon. Magkano iskor nyo dati ?

basag, punta ka sa site mismo ni barry scott, mas mura, $35.95 including shipping (within the US i guess)

http://www.lost45.com/store.html

this series is indeed interesting, una kong napansin ito nung nagshare si emv710 ng Sausalito summernight by Diesel (incidentally Sausalito is a nice cute little town very near San Francisco, just right after the Golden Gate Bridge).

The tracks though are mostly music that Americans grew up with in US radio stations in the 70s and 80s, but there are tracks too that we grew up with like the tracks by Stonebolt (hindi si stoney ng h2f ), Sneaker, Rupert Holmes, Men without hats, Kenny Nolan, Chris Thompson, and others.

The radio tracks we grew up with esp. from 99.5 RT were different because our stations dared to go against mainstream American top 40. I have some track wishlists that I have on those pricey bootlegs in the 90s which I am still searching for a legit release on CD - like if somebody can direct me to Windjammer's Anxiously Waiting. Also, those OPM exclusive tracks by RT like Old Cafe by Whiteflight, Open Up by G steps, Whiplash by the Rage band, Your memory by Paul Pascal, and of course Mike Pedero's Mahal Kong Love Bus (baka Colin you can come up with a CD of these our very own lost tracks)

Derf, ok wishlist mo... ganda talaga ng Old Cafe... Take me down to the Old Cafe where the nights are cozy and the crowds are gay... give me a piece of the action baby show me things I never know.

Ako hanap ko pa rin yung isang kanta ni Paul Pascal... Got To Look For It...

*** AS A TRIBUTE TO NEIL ASPINALL WHO RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. LONG TIME FRIEND OF THE BEATLES, ROADIE & CHIEF OF THEIR EMPIRE, ALSO CONSIDERED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AS THE "REAL" FIFTH BEATLE***

TITLE : THE BEATLES CAPITOL ALBUMS VOLUME 1
ARTIST : THE BEATLES
LABEL : CAPITOL RECORDS US

REVIEW : This thread won't be complete without featuring the fab four and their hits. This four CD collectible consists of the 1st four albums that they came out with in the US. Note that track lists are a bit different from the UK release back in the 60's as the top honchos at that time didn't know if the band would make it big. All four CDs are in CD jacket with the original LP artwork for the US. Included in this box set is booklet with liner notes taken from interviews of the boys while they were in the US for the Ed Sullivan show.

*** Please Please Me was only a UK version release



This is a limited release and is worth every cent that you buy it with particularly for Beatles fan and collectors as well.

TITLE : THE BEATLES CAPITOL ALBUMS VOLUME 2
ARTIST : THE BEATLES
LABEL : CAPITOL RECORDS US

REVIEW : To complete the US releases, Volume 2 featured the last four albums that came out in the US with a different artwork with the UK release.

*** Note that the album EARLY BEATLES was the PLEASE PLEASE ME album in the UK

TITLE : THE BEST OF NOEL POINTER(Blue Note Masterpiece Collection)
ARTIST : NOEL POINTER
LABEL : BLUE NOTE RECORDS

REVIEW : Noel Pointer has a soft spot among filipino jazz lovers, not only did he perform here but recorded as well with Kuh Ledesma. This compilation are tracks selected from his albums but a great deal of it was taken from the album ALL MY REASONS.

*** Highly recommended for beginners and collectors as well.

KEY TRACKS :

1. East St. Louis Melody
2. Superwoman
3. Classy Lady
4. All The Reasons Why
5. Stardust Lady

TITLE : JOIN THE DOTS: B-SIDES & RARITIES 1978-2001 THE FICTION YEARS
ARTIST : THE CURE
LABEL : POLYDOR RECORDS

REVIEW : I'm more than happy to feature this article courtesy of a request. Lately there have been De Luxe Editions available in the market featuring key albums and artists and all of them are quite collectibles(being myself a proud owner of a few). If you are a collector/completist, I recommend you get these de luxe versions as they include rarities and remixes. I particularly instead got this 4CD boxset of THE CURE. I am a fan of the band(though didn't have the opportunity to watch them perform in HK this year) and went extra getting this gem.

This 4CD boxset contains 70 tracks(with 10 unreleased songs) as well as a 76 page booklet featuring rare photos. This boxset was also put together by the man himself Robert Smith. The difference between this and the de luxe edition is this a more comprehensive item which truly defines the band during their formative years up to their heyday. Make no mistake though, this gem contains tracks some of which are really mind blowing.

This boxset does not contain their big hits but instead carries all their hidden gems that are worth collecting as well as songs that you might have heard but couldn't find (case in point (10:15 Saturday Night)

There is a GREATEST HITS out there with a DVD if you are interested, Let me know if you want this to be reviewed as well.

NOTABLE GEMS :

1. 10:15 Saturday Night
2, Do The Hansa
3. Purple Haze
4. A Forest(Mark Platt Mix)
5. Lament(Flexipop Version)
6. Just Like Heaven(Dizzy Mix)

This is another great CD from a great artist. Got to have a copy of this. Thanks Colin for posting this review.

TITLE : THE GUESS WHO (Retro Collection Series)
ARTIST : THE GUESS WHO
LABEL : SONY BMG ENTERTAINMENT

PACKAGING : gatefold carton sleeve jacket

REVIEW : To some this might come to you as a question but to people in the know, GUESS WHO are one of the pioneers of modern day rock. Got together in the 60's this Canadian band made the airwaves in the US because of the song NO TIME. This 18 track collection puts together their hits from days gone by as well as rare gem that you'd be surpirsed to find here. Most of the tracks were previously included in their 1971 Greatest Hits package but some didn't make it there. This I would say is one of the more appealing comps from the band. This release is worth every centavo you spend for it (cheap!).

For those who remember this, that means you've experienced rock in its infancy leading to what now is known as rock!

KEY TRACKS :

1. UNDUN
2. YOUR NASHIVILLE SNEAKERS***
3. THESE EYES
4. AMERICAN WOMAN+++
5. LAUGHING
6. NO SUGAR TONIGHT/NEW MOTHER NATURE SON
7. WEDNESDAY IN YOUR GARDEN





*** Previiously available only in the album/CD "Rockin" this track was very popular on
radio in the Philppines.
+++ This is the album version which contains a bluesy intro of Burton Cumming's vocals
accompanied by guitar only leading to the full band version.

great post colin!

if I may add, thanks to people like you colin, my interests in music have deepened and widened, to include even music when most of us have not been born yet or too early to appreciate music.

I have shared this article to colin before - here's a small excerpt of a very interesting and lengthy article about the evolution of Pinoy rock, featured in a TV Times article dated 1979.

since then, this has become one of my cherished 45s; very seldom that both sides (Side B is "I Miss You So") were massive hits before.



even I couldn't believe that this 45 has withstood more than 40 years with hardly a scratch, if this was released before 1964 when most of us were not born yet. It still plays greatly, producing that rich deep sound of the electric guitar like you were listening to it Live.

I'm sure all vinyl lovers here have this kind of experience - whenever I play this vinyl, parang nagiging black and white ang paligid ko ; really strange but true
