Still as good as when they were young.......2007-07-07

I got to see them June 15th 2007 at the Saratoga Winery. They were a blast!!! You thought it was yesterday. They still got it, they still sound as good. They took "Momma Told Me Not To Come" and turned it into a Rap for fun, and the way they did it, you would have thought it had alwasy been sung that way.

I found myself remembering the words to most of the songs, that I thought I had forgotten. You don't forget, the words are just tucked away. They had a couple of new band members but the rest were the good ol' guys we remember. If you don't get to see them, this CD will be the next best thing. You will really enjoy listening to the songs on this CD.

After buying this, go check out "ToTo". They were the opening Band for Three Dog Night!!!

Bobby Darin was one of the most personally complex and unpredictable artists of the rock era. Indeed, it's hard to find another major artist who reinvented himself with the deceptive ease and overwhelming success chronicled on this 20-track highlight disc. After scoring three lively and considerable Top 10 successes in the space of a year in the late 1950s ("Splish Splash," "Queen of the Hop," "Dream Lover"), Darin traded in his teen idol sweater 'n' slacks for a tux and tie (evidence suggests he considered rock a passing fad!) and went gunning for Sinatra and the Rat Pack. The immediate results were the Grammy-winning No. 1 legend "Mack the Knife" (adapted from Kurt Weill's "Moritat" in The Threepenny Opera) and the enduring, French-inspired Top 10 hit "Beyond the Sea." If Darin spent the early '60s alternately goosing standards from the American songbook ("Clementine," "Bill Bailey," "Lazy River," "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby," etc.) and mending a few rock-pop fences ("Multiplication," "Things"), he still had another surprise in store. His Top 10 take on Tim Hardin's dolorous "If I Were a Carpenter" cast him all too convincingly as conscientious '60s folkie. Other highlights here include his irresistible, swinging take on the lyrically bleak "Artificial Flowers" and his successful, self-penned nods to the '60s Nashville sound, "You're the Reason I'm Living" and "18 Yellow Roses." Darin was considerably more than the first postmodern lounge Revivalist, and herein lies the evidence. --Jerry McCulley

A Must.......2007-05-13

Alongside Sinatra, Ella, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, and others, Bobby Darin is an absolute must in everyone's discotheque.

ought to Buy it !.......2007-04-11

Good selection of his classic songs.Any age group can appreciate Bobby Darin's contribution of music

He was the best of the best!.......2007-04-11

Every song on this CD will remind those of us who lived and loved the music of the 60's why it was so great and will forever remain so. Darin's voice and the artistry of his performance on each song is wonderfully smooth and easy to listen to. It is truly mood food ... whatever your mood might be.

Great!.......2007-03-26

This is a compilation of Bobby Darin's hits and includes everything from "Beyond the Sea" to "Mack The Knife". A definite for any Darin fan.

Too Many Mono Recordings.......2006-12-31

I don't understand the 5 star reviews. Of the 20 tracks on this CD (a good collection), only 5 were the stereo recordings; the remaining 15 were recorded in mono only!!! Bobby Darin's signature tracks of Splish Splash, Mack the Knife, and Beyond the Sea are all in mono format. Horrible, especially considering that the word "Stereo" is plastered across the cover of his "That's All" album where Mack the Knife and Beyond the Sea were recorded.

I suppose if you have one speaker, it would not make a difference, but PLEASE. I feel so very cheated.

Paul Davis ~ Sweet Life - His Greatest Hit Singles.......2007-06-02

Sweet Life, '65 Love Affair were simply outstanding songs, I give them 5+ stars. This man definitely had talent and put out some good music in the 80's. Overall, four stars for this collection!

Cool Songs!.......2007-02-14

Hi...I bought this CD for my favorite song of all time...Cool Night. I've only heard this song once or twice on the radio in my lifetime...What a damn shame its one of the best songs ever & because Paul Davis is an outstanding singer who seems to have been forgotten (except for the few of us who really appreciate good music).

I also loved I go Crazy which I'm very familiar with & is my second most favorite song of his.

Paul Davis; Sweet Life: This CD Is Fantastic!.......2006-10-26

Ya know......Some three years ago or so; I decided to start using the internet (namely Amazon) to find and purchase old music I had previously owned and I not only have been doing that but I have also been finding and purchasing some old music that I unfortunately missed the first time around and one of those artists is Paul Davis. What is so neat though is that it was like I had owned this CD all along because I remember every song. These songs are 70s and 80s memories at their very best. This guy is a class act. From the first track to his duet with Marie Osmond (which is the last track); this Disc is definitely Sweet. His covers of the Beach Boys classic, Darlin, (featuring Susan Collins) and, Love Or Let Me Be Lonely, are excellent. The Friends Of Distinction version of, Love Or Let Me Be Lonely, which charted some twelve to thirteen years earlier (around 69-70) is even better; but barely. What songs are my favorites on this CD?.....Ah Man.....That would have to go to, Cool Night, I Go Crazy, and Sweet Life. Thanks Amazon. I highly recommend this Disc. My opinion of it is.....Wow!.....Bom! Bom! Bom! Bom!.....LOL!
Final Note: Once you hear, Love Or Let Me Be Lonely, you will know where the Bom! Bom! Bom! Bom! Comes from. .....LOL Again!.....Great Tune and this CD is a Winner.

Paul Davis.......2006-08-24

I didn't realize so much of it was country. Get past his hits and it was minly C&W.

Good Music.......2006-07-23

I myself like all the songs on this CD. I think they sound as ggod as they did on my vinyl records. Ride 'Em Cowboy brings back a lot of memories. Cool Nights is a very good mellow song that reminds me of a late June evening under the stars with the one you love. Love Or let Me Be Lonely and '65 Love Affair are my favotite songs of Paul Davis. Sweet Life also brings back a lot of good memories.
A very good CD for all music lovers.
If you do not like the music here then please do not waste your time writing bad things about Paul Davis and his music, PLEASE!!!

Great music from times gone by ... but the songs will live on

lady-killer voice, groovin'.......1998-05-14

These songs are very slow and slick and sultry. A scratchy electric guitar whines softly over a steady, sexy bass while Isaac's voice, a TOWER of sex, swoons in and out of the music. They are love songs, and they are all carnal and luscious. Since this dude's now THE CHEF on the most popular cartoon, South Park, I'm sure you'll want to acquainted with the man's music. It's just what you expected. You won't be disappointed.

The Grammy-Award winning band's 1983 album finally makes its compact disc debut in the United States. A Billboard Top 20 album, Listen features four hit singles: "Wishing (I Had a Photograph of You)", "Nightmares", "Transfer Affection", and "(It's Not Me) Talking". Three bonus tracks have been added, including the 80s alternative radio classic, "Committed". All songs are newly digitally remastered and the booklet contains complete lyrics for the first time. Furthermore, journalist Stephen "Spaz" Schnee has compiled new liner notes based on a 2004 interview with Mike and Ali Score.

Customer Reviews:

Missing Key Tracks.......2006-08-14

The reissue of A Flock Of Seagulls brilliant second album "Listen" disappoints for a number of reasons. First, why has the album never included the beautiful 9:38 version of "Wishing" that was released as a 12 inch single in the UK? Even the US promo EP has a 6:05 version that has the same gorgeous intro as the UK 12 inch. (The US album version clocks in at 5:30, this has been the version issued ad nauseum, except for the seriously truncated 3:58 US 45 version). Second, where are "Rosenmontag" and "The Last Flight of Yuri Gagarin"? I have a former edition of the CD, released in 1992 by Beehive Trading Limited (perhaps UK?) which has these two tracks, as well as "Quicksand", but no "Committed", which I only have on the aforementioned US EP and UK 12 inch. Buy this disc for what's here; the rating is for the "business" end of things, not for the fantastic music.

Dreamy and Hypnotic; Outstanding New Wave Rock.......2005-04-18

Dreamy and Hypnotic; Outstanding New Wave Rock

All right, I'll admit, maybe this band from Liverpool, England, took themselves just a little too seriously in 1983, what with the silly hairstyles and odd fashion sense. Maybe they let the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental in 1982 go to their hair-do's. And maybe my 4-Star rating might be just a bit inflated, being that I've been an undying fan of AFOS since their first record, which is still today one of my all-time favorite albums. But cast all that aside, and you'll find that this is a darn good album, difficult as that may be for the casual listener to believe. While "Listen" departs from the harder-edged sound of the debut LP, it does find its own groove within a somewhat softer and more techno-fied atmosphere. Don't get me wrong; a few songs still rock pretty good, highlighting the work by amazing lead guitarist Paul Reynolds. But for the most part, the in-your-face guitar licks of the first album are relegated to the middle-ground, or background completely, while the drums and keyboards are pushed forward (could it be that the Score brothers; singer and keyboardist Mike, and drummer Ali, wanted their handiwork to overshadow that of Reynolds and bassist Frank Maudsley? Who knows.). In general, the formula works, in the context of the album as a whole. "Wishing" is brilliant, except for the annoying "buzz" sound heard on every single drum beat of the song (too bad that wasn't eliminated for the remastered release). "Nightmares" reminds one of how it felt to be eight years old and alone in the dark. "Transfer Affection" is a lovely ballad, found also on the Flock's "Best Of" CDs. "What Am I Supposed To Do?" is a fast-tempo tune, but does evoke sadness from the listener, as the song is about a painful breakup. "Electrics", "The Traveler", "Over The Border" and "It's Not Me Talking" are all New Wave-Rock oriented, while "2:30" seems to be really not much of anything; just synth effects that open with what sounds like an earthquake. Only "The Fall" causes me to hit the skip button. It's not all that bad, just a bit too slow and a bit too monotonous, even for the `Gulls. Two of the three bonus tracks are worth the price of the disc alone. The grunge-like "Quicksand" could have been a rock-radio favorite, had the group used it as a single instead of a b-side. It still stands up as one of the Flock's very best rock songs. And the live version of "I Ran" (the b-side of "It's Not Me Talking", at least in the U.S.) manages to capture the raw energy of the original studio recording. For some reason, there are two songs from the original CD and cassette releases that are missing from this reissue; "Rosenmontag" and "The Last Flight of Yuri Gagarin." Both were weird techno-flavored instrumentals, which tells me that AFOS, along with other British synth-rock bands and artists (like Gary Numan), were musical visionaries rather than One Hit Wonders. So if you're reading this you must be thinking about buying the CD. Do it, and also what the title suggests.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!.......2005-02-15

In the year 1983, we were introduced to (among other things)both Listen by A Flock of Seagulls AND the CD. So why it took 22 years for Listen to come out on CD (and why we were stuck with nothing but 'best hits' albums by A Flock on CD during this time)is quite beyond my comprehension. But as they say, better late than never. Now I have to agree that it would have been FAR better to include the omitted songs than get another version of I Ran (like you can't find this song in enough places already). But I guess we just have to take what we can get. And an actual CD beats scratchy old vinyl (or a CD-R made from scratchy old vinyl) ANY DAY. If you like A Flock Of Seagulls, or if you just like New Wave in general (Admit it, you do. After all, you entered A Flock Of Seagulls as a search parameter. And Deftones and Linkin Park fans don't do this!), this CD is a must-have. Give your turntable a rest and hear this album WITHOUT the pops and scratches!

Their best........2004-11-18

Oh my gosh! Am I dreaming? This can't be! Just as I was fixing to leave the record/electronics last week after being there for 2-3 hours, it suddenly occurred to me that I almost forgot to check the bin for my favorite band of all time, A Flock of Seagulls. And, lo and behold, what do I find but a CD reissue (!) of 1983's "Listen", as well as a copy of "Platinum and Gold". I couldn't help but get 'em both!

In fact, I still have their first 3 TAPES--their self-titled debut, "Listen", and "The Story of a Young Heart". I think most AFOS fans would agree that "Listen" was the best of their 4 records. (The 4th album was "Dream Come True", apparently a really bad one.) They sound more mature on it with better songwriting, whether it's the dance groove of "Over the Border", the techno-punk fun of "Electrics", the dreamy vocal of "Nightmares", or the adventurous "Traveller". Flock's sound was/is so unique that one should admit that no one has sounded like them since. A song like "Wishing", with it's clashing synth/guitar/bass chords, still sounds rather exotic 20 years onward. You just don't hear such originality nowadays.

Speaking of tapes, the outside of my original tape of "Listen" says it contains 3 extra songs, "Rosenmontag", "Quicksand", and "The Last Flight of Yuri Gagarin". However, they're not on the tape itself. I have the Jive/RCA version, maybe that's why. The other tapes say Jive/Arista. Anybody know what gives? Of the 3, "Quicksand" is featured on this reissue and is actually one of their 'heavier' moments with the deepest groove of any AFOS song.

Yes, incomplete... although blissful this was re-released!.......2004-11-14

I am in agreement about the missing tracks "Last Flight of..." and "Rosemantag". Those were two hellaciously alternative songs, given the time of its original release. I will miss them.

I have waited many years to hear this CD again. I originally had the cassette when first released, but after taking that damn cassette everywhere I went for many years, it faded with the scenery. I have looked for the CD version on ebay and every so often one can find one going for $80 out of some remote village half way around the globe. Now that it is rereleased and two very important tracks were omitted I will still wait for that day I can get the original CD on ebay for $50.

The song Committed was a treat for me since I only had a sound snippet memorized in my head from the one time I had heard the song back in 83. Thanks for the memories.

Anyway, get this CD. It, in my humble opinion, is a work of art. The songs are strong and good. THe Production is very much unique for the time, the reverb fills up your speakers and gives an unmistakeable sense of place while you 'listen'. I wish they would have graced the bottom end of the sound spectrum a bit on the remaster, but then it wouldn't true to how Mike Howlett produced it. I guess I can just use my stereo's EQ.

Vicky Rules!.......2007-07-06

I'm an "Army Child", having been born in Germany with an American Army dad. We moved to the US back in '63 and my mother's stack of LPs came with us. She returned to Germany several years later and came back with a couple Vicky LPs - records we played and enjoyed close to a thousand times.

This is a superb collection of Vicky's best songs, and for the Amazon price, you can't beat it. I won't go into a list of tracks because if you already like Vicky's music, you'll know what they are. The sound quality is terrific and this collection is quite good. This Diva has an incredible voice, filled with depth and emotion, all captured on this CD.

Highly recommended!

A Truck Drivin' Son of a Gun of a compilation.......2005-05-09

This compilation on Westside/Demon Music Group in the UK is by far the best overview of his talent available on CD, even if it doesn't contain "Six Days On The Road." The reason why is that this is a compilation of his top 40 country chart hits on Mercury in which the original hit recording of "Six Days On The Road" was not released on, in fact, it was on Dave's Golden Wing label and when the followup hit, Cowboy Boots came out, he changed the name of his label to Golden Ring because Mercury had a Wing label being used as their budget priced imprint. The version of "Six Days" he recorded for Mercury is a re-recording, available on CD on the Millennium Collection, and not the hit version, which can be found on Time-Life and Rhino country compilations. But the songs on here are the cream of the crop of his Mercury years including the classic title song, "Last Day In The Mines," "Mad," the Kris Kristofferson penned "Vietnam Blues," "Trucker's Prayer," "Keep On Truckin'," and his only #1 country chart hit, the Tom T. Hall penned "The Pool Shark." Purchase this CD for a near definitive overview of Dave Dudley in his truck drivin' prime and enjoy the "Truck Drivin' Son of a Gun" once again.

Don't bother.......2005-01-04

When I first received this CD in the mail, I had very high hopes. I had the stereo Mercury LPs which these titles first appeared on. However, over the years they wore out and I was looking to replace some of the songs with digital copies. When I finally put this CD in my player, to say I was extremely disappointed would be an understatement. This has got to be, without a doubt, the most horrendous attempt at mastering for CD release I have EVER encountered. The folks who put this out should be ashamed of themselves!! What a way to treat one of the truly great stylists in the history of country music!! A real shame- -and a sham!!

Some quality country music; bad presentation.......2004-09-30

It was some time ago now, but as I am a Faron Young fan, I took well-preserved vinyls of my favorites which turned up on this product later, along with some of Faron's earlier works, and recorded them onto a cassette (my own version of his greatest hits). Having no sophisticated recording equipment at the time, I recorded them with an open microphone. Today, they still sound better on my tape player than they do on the compilation here (I never burned a CD). Even so, I question the quality of Mercury's original recordings. "Yellow Bandana", "She Went a Little Bit Farther" and "It's Four in the Morning" evoke special memories for me. They deserve a better presentation, a "do over" maybe.

Some Good and Some Bad.......2003-10-10

This package includes all of Faron Young's Top 10 Mercury Hits and most of his bigger hits for the label.

Now some bad news up front. Like the previous reviewer, I must complain about the sound. It does sound like some of these cuts were taken off 3rd and 4th generation masters. For such an important compiliation, that is unexusable. More bad news, no recording data. At least a listing of the dates by the songs would have been appreciated.

But on the other hand, I guess this is better than nothing!!! The songs are all original recordings. The booklet is very imformative, and like I said, the only thing missing is the recording data.

24 Original Mercury Hits.......2003-09-03

This import features most of the biggest hits of Farons Mercury years. The original recordings are here but the sound quality could be better as they sound like they may have come off from 2nd or 3rd generation tapes which gives some the songs a slight muddy sound. Most of these songs are hard to find on CD so buy it until something better comes along. Faron Young was one of true Country Giants of his time.

great b-sides.......2006-01-14

This is a must for serious Lanegan fans, especially for those who liked Bubblegum. "Hit the City" is a great track, with dual vocals by Lanegan and PJ Harvey, but the b-side "Mud Pink Skag" is an up-tempo rocker that is as good or better than any track on the album. With driving drums ala "Driving Death Valley Blues," the track is a raucous mix of ZZ Top guitar riffs and Stone Age guitar squeals, all wrapped up nicely over Lanegan's baritone and some call-and-answer background vocals. The final track "Mirrored" is a downtempo guitar-and-voice number, also as good as anything from Bubblegum. I was thrilled when I heard the tracks, proving that singles with b-sides are still worth buying. I highly recommend buying this new or used from one of the z-shops, as these tracks are impossible to find on I-Tunes or the internet.

Not as advertised.......2007-05-24

I have now received two of these singles and Amazon apparently has the wrong b-side listed. It's actually a song called 'Patiently' not 'Simply Irresistible.' Thanks, Amazon. I certainly didn't need two of the wrong item.

bad for the ears.......2007-05-09

I was very disappointed in this cd. It does nothing for the band. I saw RK on Austin City Limits and loved them. Studio performances do not do them justice. Don't buy!!
