Amazon.com essential recording

Anyone looking for the key to Abba's enduring appeal should look no further than "Voulez Vous" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for their answer. There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them. Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. "S.O.S." has a raw urgency in its chorus, and "Does Your Mother Know" draws its energy from classic '50s rock & roll. Likewise, you don't have to be Priscilla to swoon over "Mamma Mia" or "Dancing Queen." And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on "The Winner Takes It All" turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered "Lay All Your Love on Me" is practically epic. --Steve Gdula

Customer Reviews:

ABBA was/is Top of the Pops. But did you know these?.......2007-07-05

Nothing in this life has brought me more joy that ABBA. From the first time I heard Waterloo, until the fanatic state began with Fernando, they have had my heart like no other group. GOLD is the best essence of ABBA. It has the best of the best sans Summer Night City, which is on the subsequent More Gold. Their only pop rivals in sales were The Bee Gees and the enormously huge pop/disco group Boney M. Relative unknowns in the US. Check them out. Not so much Abba sounding, but if you like good melodies and irresistable hooks, great purchase. Another big, but short-lived pop group was Clout. Much more like Abba. Highly recommended.

Better music.......2007-06-27

I have tried to get some of thier CDs for some time but this CD was worth the wait, sounds are great and are a "sing along with" mode, great CD.

One of the best Swedish imports.......2007-05-24

Abba's Greatest Hits lives up to its title. This is an excellent comp album. All of the hits are here [I am just old enough to remember Abba's heyday]. This is a very good, very well-rounded collection of Abba's recordings. There's not a lame song on here. The album can be listened to straight through without ever being tempted to hit the skip button. Simply some of the best pop music ever, not just from the 70s. Abba was a bright spot of the 70s, countering a bad presidency and wicked gas prices. Hmmmm, we have those back again, come to think of it. Where's our Abba?

Make sure this is what you're looking for........2007-05-16

Abba was a pretty prolific and popular group in the 70s. For those of us familiar with ABBA, this album is great. Those who aren't might want to give this a try. You've probably heard some of their tunes before without even realizing it was ABBA. Note that there is another greatest hits collection called the Definitive Collection. It's a 2 disc set that contains everything on this album, some lesser hits and a remix or two as well. For the die hard fan you might want to check into the Definitive Collection (or the Complete Studio Collection for you ABBA freaks out there). For the passing fan like myself, all of the great stuff is here.

Awesome.......2007-04-12

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by ABBA. It starts off with a great 1-2 punch of "Dancing Queen" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You". The hits just keep on coming, "Waterloo", "Gimmie a Man After Midnight", "Voules Vouz", "Fernando", "SOS", "I Had a Dream". There are a couple songs I wish were on here like "People Need Love", "If It Wasn't for the Night" and Frida's solo hit "I Know There's Something Going On".

Hooray for Hollywood!.......2007-07-22

I bought this CD to go with an Academy Awards/Hollywood Walk-of-Fame theme party that I did for work. It really lent that dramatic mood that I was looking for to usher in the theme as people entered that room on the first day after it was decorated.

Please also see my review for the CD Beautiful Hollywood.

Eh, It's Okay.......2007-04-24

For those that purchase soundtrack collages to have a variety of songs and themes, then this is good for you. Unfortunately, these tracks didn't have the signature Erich Kunzel version of the songs as he had on other soundtrack mix CDs. It was more like just that, a mix CD of different soundtracks and scores. However, it was a good buy in the fact that the tracks chosen had excellent sound quality and a sense of harmony.

We really enjoyed hearing all of the old movie themes.......2005-09-30

we put this CD in on a long road trip. We played a guessing game as to which one knew the movie. The music was excellent.

Outstanding Film Music.......2005-09-10

This is an outstanding collection of film music. The sound is qulity is very good. The selections cover a good range from various film genres and time periods. I like this CD.

An Interesting and Gratifying Volume 1.......2005-08-22

Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops' interpretation of film scores on this first tribute to Hollywood is somewhat a mixed bag. A SUMMER PLACE was beautifully executed and true to the nature of this sensitive film that was made during a time of innocence. The BEN HUR, CAPTAIN BLOOD and OUT OF AFRICA selections were good. The interpretation of GOLDFINGER was a rather bizarre and blatantly bombastic exercise in overkill. This is a good CD for me because of the A SUMMER PLACE selection.

Customer Reviews:

Great Album.......2007-02-07

If you enjoy Three Dog Night, this is the album for you. I have played this CD way too much since I purchased it. The songs are still as fresh as they were 30 years ago and the sound quality is wonderful. Highly recommend if you are a fan.

Greatest Hits for the Greatest Price.......2002-10-01

I will take this from the GREATEST HITS perspective. We have the Millenium Collection, a few multi-disk anthologies, GOLDEN BISQUITS, and this import. This is by far the best deal for those who just want the hits, and not all the album tracks, (and there are quite a few good ones).

All of the singles are here, from the biggest (Joy To The World) to personal favorites like "Out In The Country". It would be redundant to go track by track, since like Creedence Clearwater in the same time frame, they were Single Machines who also put out great albums as well.

If you want just the best for a good price, this is it. If you want a completist collection, go for the multi disk anthology.

You can't go wrong with the music, for one of the best Vocal Bands of the era, with the tightest backup band since Booker T's MG's.

Comprehensive Collection.......2001-01-16

A very comprehensive collection of their late 60s/early 70s hits. When they were good, they were brilliant, as demonstrated in the exuberant Joy To The World, the moody, atmospheric Mama Told Me Not To Come (a description of a weird party), and the reggae rhythms of Black & White (first done by Greyhound), Show Must Go On (a Leo Sayer song) and Family Of Man. But their slower soft rock ballads like Old Fashioned Love Song, Never Been To Spain etc. never appealed to me although they were big hits. This band is hard to classify, they strode the rock/pop divide with great aplomb, perhaps like Paul Revere & The Raiders.

Good by modern standards, too.......2000-06-13

Some people review CDs like this from a historical perspective. That's fine, but I prefer to pretend it was just released, and examine its musical value. There's a lot of good stuff, 20 whole tracks, of which three are outstanding: Joy to the World, Old Fashioned Love Song, and Black and White. I remember Joy from my college days. "Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea" would amuse my chess-playing friends every time it came on the radio, as "fish" is a derogatory term for a weak chess player. We were all fish. And we can all enjoy the same music today, whatever the context.

The hit songs for a reasonable price.......2004-06-17

This is a great little Richard sampler that covers his middle period, and some later period, these are msotly hits, and thier is a great interview with Little Richard at the end. This is pioneering r&b jump blues music. And all the songs are fun and wild, from the opening classic Lucille(with a horn section) to Hound Dog. You'll Love richards boogie woogie piano style and his screeching vocals(reminiscent almost of Ruth Brown at times!). Many of these songs are on the bluesy(or jump blues side). And msot of the tracks feature a big band bancking up Richard's boogie piano and vocals. GREAT CD!!!

Greatest-hits collections often deprive the listener of the chance to experience an artist's true scope of talent. Not so with Steve Miller. His strength has always been more in crafting an occasional blast of FM-radio heaven rather than a dozen solid album tracks. Greatest Hits 1974-78 chronicles the best singles from Miller's most successful years, after he veered from Haight-Ashbury bluesy trippiness to more accessible blues-based pop-rock. There are the slippery grooves of "The Joker" and "Fly Like an Eagle," and there's the air-guitar-beckoning riff-rock of "Take the Money and Run," "Jungle Love," "Rock 'n Me," and "Jet Airliner." Don't expect groundbreaking art, expect references to the "pompatus of love" and instant gratification. Requisite listening at the classic-rock keg party. This gold version of the title offers superior sound quality for a higher price than the standard-issue CD. --Neal Weiss

Customer Reviews:

Miller Time!.......2007-07-17

This Steve Miller album gets 5 stars largely on its strength as a compilation. All of the Steve Miller hits you know from the radio are on this disc. It's all you need for an overview of Steve Miller and for slapping in the CD player when you're at a party and want some 70s rock on. This stuff is good, simple, rock music. Steve's vocals are well-backed by the guitars. Very solid album.

Dollars and (common) cents........2007-06-21

I'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song).
This is a rather fine example of what a greatest hits CD should be. A bunch of really good songs with not much in the way of "filler".
Tracks 1,2,3,4,8,9 & 11 are the popular classics you'll know from the radio. (Tracks 6,12 & 13 aren't that popular, but they grow on you). So you get $7 worth of essential tracks for the current Amazon price of $8. Not bad. (You can get each of these songs individually from iTunes and save yourself $1). Two other good songs from Steve Miller, that fall outside the 1974-1978 range, are "Abracadabra" and "Living in the USA". Don't go and pay $14 for the "Young Hearts" greatest hits CD just to get these two additional songs. I'd buy each of them on iTunes for $1, if available.
Hope this helps.

Fly like an Eagle, let you spirit set you free........2007-06-10

A wonderful CD of some of Mr. Miller's best tunes. This is a staple for those times when you want to kick back and relax, and just fade into your memories. Super tunes.

TAKES ME BACK.......2007-05-14

I LOVE IT. I LISTEN AT HOME OR IN THE CAR . IT HAS ALL OF THEIR GREAT SONGS AND IT IS SO MUCH FUN.

Good but Outdated Compilation.......2007-03-12

The Steve Miller Band produced some remarkable pop rock songs in the 1970s. They were sticky, short and sweet tracks that bore the mark of ingenuity and economy. They didn't take up a lot of your time, but they songs stayed in your mind for a long, long time. Indeed, many of these are FM staples down to this day. This 1978 collection is filled with the gems of their mid-70s work. How do the songs rate?

Swingtown- It begins with a fade-in. The bassline we hear becomes the backbone of the song. Harmonies fill the song, as do catchy melodies. An excellent way to kick off the compilation.

Jungle Love- A classic. Just thinking about "Jungle Love" is driving me crazy.

Take the Money and Run- A short little gem that's one my favourite SMB tracks. The off-kilter drum intro is great, as is the zany guitar work. The lyrics themselves tell the story of a robbing couple and the sheriff who's out to get them. Goofy fun all around.

Rock 'N Me- "Keep on 'a rockin' me baby" says it all. Memorable guitar riff, too.

Serenade- Not the best song, but good by most standards.

True Fine Love- Cute ballad with a nice little swing to it.

The Stake- A slow-burning pop classic.

The Joker- This is from 1973, so its inclusion is dubious. But guess what? The song is one of SMB's most enduring and pivotal tracks. If "Maurice" followed by a guitar-made whistling-like sound doesn't ring a bell, there's something wrong with you.

Fly Like an Eagle- A mellow paean to freedom embossed in some fine electronic atomospherics. One SMB's other key songs.

Threshold- Not really a song at all. It's an intro to...

Jet Airliner- Pop rock about being a celebrity. Great chorus.

Dance, Dance, Dance- More country than anything else. Good thing they stuck it at the end, because I always skip this cold fish.

Winter Time- Doesn't do anything for me.

Wild Mountain Honey- Dull.

Now, as you might've noted, a great many of these tracks garnered quite a bit of praise from me. That's because the music itself is quite awesome. However, this set does have some weaknesses:

*Nothing (aside from "The Joker") outside the 74-78 range. That means you don't get any of SMB's early classics or the early 80s cheesball "Abracadabra" track.

*Original issue CD, which means the sound quality is rather low.

*Not a lot of songs. Given that this compilation was originally released on an LP, we can understand why we don't get that much music.

*Better compilations are out there. "Young Hearts" offers more songs than this, and the sound is better. BUT,if you're looking for a concise overview of hits, you might be interested in this one. If you down mind less tracks and low audio quality, this compilation will work for you. It'll probably cost you less, too.

Overall, this compilation was great for its time. But in this day and age, it seems rather outdated. Fantastic tunes, though!

This CD is a reissue of an old album that featured bits from The National Lampoon Radio Hour. Almost all of the routines here are included on The National Lampoon Radio Hour box set. I would recommend getting the box set instead of this CD, but if you don't feel like springing for that, this is good, too.

To those of you looking for "That's Not Funny, That's Sick" - I found it. I shared your frustration ("I've also made pizza"), but cdstreet.com came through. They have it in all its glory. It was a little pricey ("they be chargin' us for stamps, they say..."), and looks almost like a home-made job (e.g., no label on the CD), but who cares. Good luck to all -- by the way, buy Gold Turkey, too. It has some classics as well,...

Obsolote because of newer, better comp.......2005-05-13

The Cars had kind of two personalities over their career: the pop hits like "Drive" and "Shake it Up" and the album tracks that classic rock radio still plays like "Moving in Stereo" and "You're All I've Got Tonight". This album is great if you ONLY want the pop material...all the Top 40 hits are here...but if you like any of their best album material at all, you'll be much better off with the CD "Complete Greatest Hits" (ASIN B00005Y1XY) which sacrifices only lesser track "Heartbeat City" from this one and then adds on several great tracks you don't get here:
"Bye Bye Love", "You're all I've Got Tonight" and "Moving in Stereo" from the debut, CANDY-O's "Dangerous Type" and "It's All I Can Do",HEARTBEAT CITY's "Hello Again" (and "Why Can't I Have You?" if you happen to like that one..I consider it a lesser effort), and even a track from the farewell album DOOR TO DOOR ("You are the Girl").

If such things matter to you, they also come in chronological order (though those prone to whining about it could always program their CD player or burn a copy for the car in the "correct" order).

BOTTOM LINE:
If you like the Cars, this one doesn't serve them as well for a single disc compilation as "Complete Greatest Hits" does. Get that one instead.

A great C.D. to Drive to........2000-06-22

After visiting a c.d. store, I wanted to buy "The Cars: Greatest Hits", but it the store only had the album on gold c.d. It was very expensive, but I listen to it all the time, and you will too. You will remember most of the songs on this c.d. instantly. People say that gold c.d's sound better, I'm sure they do, but it was nothing that I realy noticed. It's not going to matter if you buy the gold c.d. or the regular, they both sound the same to me.Whatever format you choose though, you will not be disapointed. Get this c.d. if your a casual Cars fan or a die hard fan, you will like it either way. It's like Devo, but not as geeky.

The Original And Most Enduring Teen Idol.......2006-06-25

From 1957 to 1962, RICKY NELSON charted thirty Top 40 hits, more than any other artist at the time except Elvis Presley. Thirty Top 40 chart hits in a six year run is very impressive, considering that some recording artists racked up a possible two dozen hits over a couple decades' time span[if not more] during the Rock Era.[These thirty Top 40 hits does not include the dozens of other "45's" Nelson charted on the lower 60 chart positions throughout the remainder of his almost thirty year career, which was cut short by his untimely death in a plane crash while on one of his music tours in 1985.] Many of Ricky's early records[vinyl 45's] where double hits with both the "A" side and the "B" side placing/peaking a position on the Billboard and Cashbox Magazine Hot 100 Singles charts, plus receiving massive radio station airplay during each single's[recording] respective heyday.
While Nelson preferred uptempo rockers like "Hello Mary Lou", "It's Late", "Stood Up" and "Be-Bop Baby", his smooth, calm voice made him a natural to sing ballads. He had major success with "Travelin' Man", "Poor Little Fool", "Young World", "Lonesome Town", "Never Be Anyone Else", and "Teenage Idol", which clearly could have been about Ricky himself at the time. 1964's "For You" would be his last Top 40 hit until 1970 when he recorded Bob Dylan's "She Belongs To Me" with the Stone Canyon Band. In 1972, he would chart into the Top 40 one final time with his enduring Top 10 hit, "Garden Party".
25 GREATEST HITS compiles Ricky Nelson's impressive initial chart hits[1957-62] in their original alluring versions for his multi-generation fan base to enjoy in remastered sound. Nelson is also credited with being the original and very first Teen Idol, a title he occasionally shunned, and preferred to be recognised as a musician, which he ultimately was. Despite the promotional aspects of his career, it is clear that Nelson knew and loved music and was a credible performer before he became a Teen Idol, largely due to his parents' musical background. Both Ozzie and Harriet Nelson were Big Band musicians/singers during the early years of their careers throughout the 1930's and 1940's - he was the younger son of Ozzie Nelson, the leader of a big band, and Harriet Hilliard Nelson, the band's singer.
Along with brother David Nelson, the family starred in the long-running radio and television series "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet" from 1944 to 1966; with Ricky's singing[career] often featured in the show's weekly themes and gaining him national exposure to his unique musical attributes. His record sales skyrocketed into the millions, and is credited with selling close to 70 million of his own recordings. I can recall seeing him on his parent's TV show reruns when I was a child, and proudly became his fan at age 7. Many of the songs on "25 GREATEST HITS" have become staples of modern day Oldies/Classic Pop-Rock oriented radio stations. RICKY NELSON remains the most enduring, interesting and gifted of all the Teen Idols, the ultimate musician among them all and he will never be forgotten.

Ricky Nelson makes me young again.......2006-03-25

I had forgotten what it was like to be "A Teenager in Love" until I listened to this CD. There I was 13, 15, 16 years old thinking I was a "Poor Little Fool" because of some young romance gone wrong or "I'm in Love Again" over some new young man. This CD not only causes me to smile remembering my youth, it is a pleasure hearing that rich sultry voice and the rock and roll music that was to change the world.

Ricky Nelson 25? Greatest Hits.......2006-03-16

1st, Ricky Nelson didn't have 25 great hits. This CD has only four of his best recordings and my favorite - Garden Party is missing. He has very good renditions of other artists work, lots of the songs he sings on this CD, I have never heard before. Had I known what was included and was wasn't, I would have left it on the shelf. If you like anything Ricky Nelson sings, then buy this CD. If you are looking for his most popular, keep looking.

This is an excellent ricky nelson disc with 25 hits.and is similar to the new greatest hits album,with a few different tracks........2005-12-28

This is a very good disc with many of rickys top 10 hits and few lesser known tracks...There are many ricky nelson collections out there...Ricky,s music has not been fully appreciated over the years...Perhaps the new dvd release and the greatest hit cd ,will change this...Now i like this album very much to,but i hate that i have so many duplicate tracks,on several of the cd,s i own of ricky...4 star recommended...

Ever wondered what dog poop sounds like on a gold disc?.......2005-04-21

I can call on no higher authority than that pull-no-punches pair of misfit music critics, Beavis and Butthead. Their opinion of Journey? "If this song was a turd, it would be the same thing." Check the names of everyone that gave this 5 stars, then look for them at the top of the dork list.

The Best of..........2001-07-30

Journey's Greatest Hits is just that, there best hits from "Infinity" to "Raised on Radio" with the inclusion of two soundtrack songs that were left off of "Escape". The quality of the CD is excellent which adds to the quality of music at higher volumes as if you were at one of the concerts in the 80's. A must have for any Journey fan.
