Marky Mark and his Funky Bunch.......2007-05-26

Loved it. Can't get enough of that Funky Bunch!

Clean Hip-Hop at it's finest at great comeback album in '92 great artist.......2006-07-28

Yeah i remember hearing this song on the radio back in the fall of 1992 i was in 9th grade then. when i first heard the slamming bumping track "You gotta Believe" i played it over and over.. i first thought it was saying "you got the beat"..??huh? oh believe that makes more sense! i bought the this CD again last year.. i understand that Mark Wahlberg doesn't like to be called Marky Mark anymore.. it still bumping to today i don't see color when i listen to hip-hop artists .. as long as they can flow it's alright..great CD i blast it in my car at home anywhere..this CD is for Hip-hop heads only.. like alot of old-school CD's so if your into gansta's rap this aint for you..but for those who love it enjoy!!

The most awesome album I have ever heard.......2005-06-28

I just got the cd and man all I can tell you is that this cd got it all. I love "You Gotta Believe" song. It's an album worth having in your collection and it's a must to have it. Good job Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch for making this awesome album.

Marky Mark " I want you" track..........2005-01-05

Im a professional DJ. This song is just !!!great!!!.

HORRIBLE! I can see now why Mark sticks to movies!.......2004-06-15

Marky Mark's album sounded lame, horrible, bland, disjointed, forgettable and perhaps one of the worst followups to a successful debut that I've heard! Marky Mark kept saying that this was a harder sounding album than the first, but I didn't feel it. After "You Gotta Believe" which was an okay song, the album just goes downhill and south to me, with corny raps, uninteresting music that doesn't match with his style, and just some boring, bland songs. Even his brother Donnie Wahlberg's production on here can't save this album--they sound like New Kids song rejects on here that didn't make the great "Step by Step". Mark Wahlberg's rap career was very short lived. I can see why he's sticking to movies now. So watch his DVDs of "Boogie Nights" or "The Italian Job" instead of this horrible piece of rubbish!

Album Description

2004 compilation for the bona fide 1960s legend. Blue-eyed soul, freakbeat, & state-of-the-art Brit-girl pop, she handled it all with consummate ease & one of the best voices of the time. The track-listing includes virtually all her singles from 1965-69, upon most of which Sharon was accompanied by psychedelic avatars Fleur De Lys. Seven tracks, including five previously unreleased, derive from Sharon's legendary 1966 session for Stax, where she was backed by Booker T & The MGs. 26 tracks. Big Beat.

Fulsome CD testament.......2006-04-07

Sharon Tandy was on the legendary 1967 Hit The Road Stax UK tour and did a particularly blistering version of Hold On at Birmingham Town Hall, where she depped for Carla Thomas on her night off. Backed by Booker T and the MGs, recreating the magnificent recorded version on which she was backed by Les Fleur-de-Lys, down to the guitar break. She also performed a version of Eddie Floyd's Things Get Better. Her version, recorded with the MGs at Stax Studios in 1966, was unreleased until now.
Unavailable until 2001 when it was included on a Fleur-de-Lys compilation, Hold On is track 2 on this long-awaited CD. A mod classic now filed under "freakbeat" it was a much-loved B-side in our house when it came out, going on to become a hit in Europe and being re-released here the following year as an A-side. This meant unfortunately burying their other potential smash, the Julie Driscoll-ish Daughter Of The Sun as its flip, and to no avail as Hold On continued to uninspire the record-buying masses.
Although there are other recordings with the Fleur-de-Lys here, their reputed live onstage power and intensity is really only captured on those two tracks, though the original top side of Hold On, a version of Lorraine Ellison's smouldering Stay With Me (Baby) becomes her own through a distinctive arrangement and performance, stylistically unlike the original or its myriad covers, and actually "bubbled under" in the charts. There is also a sizzling version of Our Day Will Come, slowed down in true Vanilla Fudge style, but too often the band were subverted into creating "commercial" ballads.
When Sharon Tandy came over to England from her home town of Johannesburg, she was initially signed to Pye, who teamed her up with musical directors such as Charles Blackwell and pointed her towards the mainstream, the Brit girl pop department ruled at the time by Dusty, Sandie, Cilla and Lulu. Both sides of two singles from 1965 are included, and show her giving first class renditions of second class songs in the idiom of the time. One, Now That You've Gone, was a translation of a French power ballad written and originally recorded by Petula Clark.
In 1966 she became the first European to record at the Stax Studios, with producer Tom Dowd. She was signed to Stax in the States and spent 11 days in Memphis with Booker T and the MGs and the Memphis Horns, and with Isaac Hayes and Dave Porter on hand to write the songs. The results were sensational judging from the seven tracks included here, but only one British single resulted, a cover of Johnnie Taylor's Toe Hold, backed with a Steve Cropper song called I Can't Get Over It, although it did lead to her touring on the Stax-Volt tours.
This long overdue retrospective updates her career to 1969, after which she returned to South Africa, although sadly it omits her single of Beatle songs, A Fool On The Hill/For No One.
The tracks are presented non-chronological order which makes following the story a little difficult and adds to the confusion of the several styles she tackled throughout the sixties. I would suggest re-programming your CD player so that all the Stax material is heard together. Ultimately, it seems a story of bad luck and opportunities missed or not fully capitalised on, but at least we have this fulsome CD testament.

You Gotta Believe It's A Good CD.......2005-07-28

To me Sharon Tandy is like Alex Chilton in the sense that they both connect the worlds of 60's soul, rock and pop. I was very impressed overall with this CD, especially since it did comprise several musical areas. The freakbeat songs were great, especially "Hold On", which had a pretty intense guitar part which was rather unusual for a "girl" singer. Leslie Gore it ain't, if you know what I mean. As for the Stax session songs, they were more examples of why Booker T. & the MG's are one of the greatest bands of all time and why Al Jackson, Jr. was one of the best drummers of all time (and is still missed along with Otis). "Things Get Better", which was done by Eddie Floyd, was a standout to me. The pop-slanted stuff was about on the level of the Dustys, Petulas & Sandies running around at the time. The song that really grabbed me on this CD was her version of "Stay With Me", which came a close second to Lorriane Ellison's original, dispensing with the bombast (which I did enjoy), while retaining the intensity. This CD, which is all in glorious mono, also sounds great, a fact which I noticed while listening to it at a friend's house while watching the Red Sox beat on the Yankees on TV with the sound down (a great experience, by the way). Anyway, I do recommend this CD for anyone who is into the weird, wonderful world of '60s music or for anyone who likes good music period.

Underrated Diva from the 60's.......2004-05-13

To say that Sharon Tandy is a cross between Dusty Springfield and Julie Driscoll, while fairly accurate, is also a gross oversimplification. Ms. Tandy handles Pop, Rock, and Soul numbers with equal skill. This CD contains a wide variety of song styles from funky soul to psychedelic rock to string laden pop. A few of these cuts were recorded with members of Booker T and the MG's at the Stax studios. Some of my favorite tracks are You've Got To Believe It (pop), Hurry Hurry Choo Choo(soul), and Daughter of the Sun(psych). The booklet contains detailed notes, and Sharon's story in her own words. Check it out- you won't be disappointed!

Quilter deserves better..........2005-11-10

Was this recording of Quilter songs (Complete Folk-Song Arrangements and Complete Part-Songs for Women's Voices) a vanity project for soprano Amanda Pitt? It is hard to explain in any other terms, for her voice is not pleasant to hear. It is a pinched, badly produced, squally sound - the sort of standard one would expect in a not very gifted singing student. Why Naxos permitted this travesty of a recording under their label is a mystery.

The majority of the songs on this CD are sung by the aforesaid Amanda Pitt (soprano). The other singers in this project are of a better standard - in the case of Philip Langridge, beautiful to listen to. This recording is not worthy of his excellent career and lovely tenor voice. The other two singers - mezzo Joanne Thomas and baritone David Wilson-Johnson - are not bad, either, although the mezzo doesn't get a single solo. The lack of a solo for Ms Thomas is glaringly evident when compared to the ten (10) solos which Ms Pitt sings. (10 out of 21 solos - definitely an unfair ratio. Of these ten solos, several could have been given to the mezzo to sing - they were certainly not beyond the average mezzo range.)

The rest of the album consists of duets - thirteen of them. Eleven of the thirteen duets are soprano/mezzo, and in spite of the mezzo's voice (from what one is permitted to hear of it) isn't bad, the duet performances are frankly awful, chiefly because of Ms Pitt. Even the superior quality of Philip Langridge's singing cannot save the two duets he sings with Amanda Pitt.

It's artistically an insulting and atrociously unbalanced distribution of material.

Look for the John Mark Ainsley/Lisa Milne recording of Quilter songs & arias. Admittedly, it doesn't include most of the duets on this CD, but oh, the sheer pleasure of hearing well-trained and lovely voices give Quilter a worthy treatment!

Cd single with the original 1991 and new 2002 remixes........2002-09-18

This cd is from the UK and features the new mixes for a song orginally released in 1991/92 on the Invasion label. In 1992 the song originally got as far as number 4 for 2 weeks and was the number 50 song for the entire year of 1992. Now 10 years later the song is dusted off and put back out for another go round the dance floor.The new mixes are by Superchumbo and Low End Specialists. There are 2 Superchumbo mixes - The Roach Remix(8:51) and the Leadhead Dub Mix(9:13). The Roach mix is very percussion heavy -tribal I guess is the term and features vocals by Abraxas who sounds like Celeda or Kevin Aviance a little bit. Very well done and this mix is I am sure is what took it to number 1 on the Billboard charts. Then the Low End Specialists "Chernobyl Remix" (8:07) is more atmospheric and not quite trancier but somewhat a bit spacier/dubbier in sound if that makes any sense. Then come the original mixes.Track 4 is The Beloved 's Factory Flashback Mix(8:33) and early 90's house all the way. Very excellent work from John Marsh but his group The Beloved were one on my favorites back then too. Then track 5 and 6 are the original mixes by Fierce Ruling Divas themselves. Track 5 the Original Atomic 91 mix(4:04) and the Rise Up And Work NYC Mix(5:25) are what I guess was considered Techno /Trance in the early 90's. A bit dated in sound but still worth a listen. The final mix is the Sweet Mix(5:20) done by Moby that is very piano and heavy bass driven in sound. Quite unlike his stuff now but in tune with his early work. So this song is available on Tommy Boy Silver in the US but so far I haven't seen the cd od it yet-so if you're looking for the "You Gotta Believe(Atomic Slyde) " on cd so far this UK cd single is your best bet to find it. Available on React Records.

Album Description

If Delbert McLinton and Dr. John could sing as one, they would sound like StikMen's front man; Norman D. Add in a solid CD of great material from this Chicago based act, and you have the first StikMen release; "you gotta' believe". Based heavily on The Blues, this CD belongs in your collection, whether you're a purist, or more open minded to experimentation. StikMen take their music to places that sometimes defies description. In recent publications, they have been identified as; Americana, Rock & Soul, Blues Rock, ZydeBlues, Cajun, Americana Rock, Electric Blues and Front Porch Roots Music. What exactly is it that these StikPeople do? THEY WRITE GREAT SONGS, and they don't care about labels or genres. The CD instrumentation features Guitar, both Electric and Acoustic, Hammond Organ, Piano, Accordion and a rock solid Muscle Shoals rhythm section. Back up vocals are provided by The Stiklettes. If there is one CD you buy today, make it this one! Don't take my word for it, check out the song samples. Remember though, 30 seconds of StikMen only scratches the surface. Listen and enjoy!

This is a great compilation of Chicago Style Blues. These guys are tight. They compliment each other & you can tell they love what they do. The lyrics cover almost every emotion.

Why Stikmen? Because they stik it to ya with a raw, hard edged sound tempered with roots soul. The CD captures the sound that all bluesmen strive for ... spontaneous and wild - yet tempered with a bit of sophistication ... and of course ... that feeling you get only when you are sitting in a club, watching masters at their craft and sipping a wonderfully chilled brew. The Stik Dudes have got what it takes ... if you enjoy REAL blues ... honest, up front and in your face ... then the STIKMEN are guaranteed to satisfy. Looking forward to the day when we can share the same bill! The MOB
