Amazon.com Product Description
This Walkman's AM/FM stereo tuner features a digital LCD display to indicate radio station frequency, time, preset status, and cassette operation. A remote control on the headphone cord offers convenient direct access to all of the unit's functions. The sound system utilizes Dolby B noise reduction in playback mode to eliminate distracting tape hiss, while the Mega Bass sound system with "groove sound" position produces deeper, richer bass tones for more pleasing overall sound. There is also a special position for contemporary music that virtually doubles the bass response compared to regular Mega Bass performance.

This personal stereo has 20-station preset tuning, for convenient, one-button tuning of your choice of 15 FM stations and 5 AM stations. Auto reverse stereo cassette playback provides uninterrupted playback of both cassette sides, while the anti-rolling mechanism maintains a stable tape speed to maximize the sound quality while the unit is in motion during jogging and other activities. The automatic shut-off feature in the playback mode helps extend battery life and helps prevent mechanical wear by turning off the unit at the end of the tape. This stereo also has metal tape playback capability with a tape-selector switch for normal or CrO2/metal cassettes, providing optimum playback of all major tape types.

Customer Reviews:

Much Better than the Original Versions.......2007-08-01

You know, its an amazing thing when a Kids Compilation of original songs redux sounds better than the original recordings themselves. This is especially clear on this new volume of Kids Bop. Here are the highlights:

1. "Beautiful Liar" - The original by Shakira and Beyonce is done very well here, with the kids performing the hard to comprehend chorus very well. In fact, on this version, you can actually understand the words! Better than the original!
2. "The Sweet Escape" - Originally by Gwen Stefani, this is a definite standout.
3. "Say It Right" - Originally by Nelly Furtado, this is a hard song to perform, but you know what - I love this version!
4. "What Goes Around" - This amazing song by Justin Timberlake is done even better here - a great, solid track
5. "Never Again" - This Kelly Clarkson song sounds like it was made for the Kids! If you remember their AMAZING cover of "Since You've Been Gone", you'll know that they fare especially well covering Kelly's songs. This is really amazing stuff here, and I suggest you pick this up if only for this track!!

Seriously, this is a wonderful album. Much better than most compilation albums, this one soars when it has to, and the song selection is much better than the NOW series. Yes, these are covers done by kids, but they are NOT cheap recordings - on the other hand, they lend a very hummable, singable quality to all the tracks here, and make every one of them instantly memorable.

All Kids Bop albums are masterpieces. This one really ups it a notch. FIVE STARS!

Better Than Expected.......2007-07-18

I am not going to make this a long review of Now! 25, it is a very well rounded collection of songs, put together much better than, Now! 24, 25 has a long of hits on it and I so far have listened to songs 1-7, without skipping also, songs 15, 17 and 18. That adds up to 10 songs in all that I've listened to, which is exactly half of the CD. Much of the same candidates are found , however Carrie Underwood makes her first appearance on a Now Cd, and after a 2 Now! abscence, Keith Urban returns. But like I said very good CD, well worth the purchase, cannot wait for Now! 26 due somewhere in November. A+

1. Fall out Boy B+
2. Avril Lavigne A+
3. Gwen Stefani B+
4. P!nk A+++++++++++++++++++++
5. Fergie C+
6. Beyonce/Shakira A+++++++++++++++
7. Justin Timberlake A++++++++++++++++

In future Now! CD's I will no longer review, songs that I have never heard so only songs I know will get reviewed, that's way only 10 appear in this review.

Good CD to have!.......2007-07-18

I am glad that some of my new favorite songs are on the same CD. It was a good buy and I listen to it all the time.

Is Anyone Even Buying These Anymore?.......2007-07-18

Now That's What I Call Music! Is back yet again with another CD of songs played heavily on radio and hit the most "buy now" buttons on iTunes, which of course defines them as hits. Or are they? Two questions come up when looking at the 25th edition's tracklist. First, is Akon the most popular hook artist out right now? And secondly, more like a statement, why is the tracklist full of commerical hip-hop artists? The 25th edition proves a fair set of songs for the average NOW buyer. Sure, we have hot hits from Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani, P!nk, and Justin Timberlake. We have hip-hop tracks from commerical acts Lloyd, T-Pain, Huey, and Bow Wow, along with mainstays Bone Thugs N Harmony and R&B artists Elliott Yamin and Ne-Yo in the mix. Then the pop-rockers ranging from huge acts Kelly Clarkson and Fall Out Boy to newcomers Boys Like Girls. And for 24 lacking the token country track, you now have both Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban stringing the violins and guitars. Therefore, the disc offers a fair selection, but quite a bit too many newcomers and feels more like a place to put your music to promotion then adding what really is hot. Too often, the newcomers take potiental spots from hot current artists, prime examples being Timbaland, Rihanna, Maroon 5, and especially summer flirt Sean Kingston. And that makes a thought that the disc is more suited to the young teens, as dance craze hip-hop artists such as T-Pain, Huey, and Mims get most of the spotlight. Aside from the hits, the tracklist may feel too empty to the older consumer. Still, Now That's What I Call Music! 25 offers a fair enough amount of hits and shouldn't disappoint too many who venture it, especially for a more summer suited disc, but some earlier editions are more versatile in their selections. 3 stars.

Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

As Im in my sixties you might think Im to old, but this is my sort of music.I reckon " john fogerty " is a great singer. Just listen to find out. Hope you like it the same as I do.

CCR.......2007-06-28

An excellent greatist hits CD, I used a handful of songs to burn a CD with other related style of music.

great stuff.......2007-06-27

listening to this CD makes you realize how great john fogerty was back in the day. great songs, great sound.

Gets me going in the morning.......2007-06-27

I've been listening to this CD for 2 weeks in my car on the way to work.

Soundtrack of an era.......2007-06-15

This is an excellent compilation of CCR's tunes from the late 60s, early 70s. There's a reason why Credence tunes kept popping up in movies and commercials. It's great music and evocative of the era from which it comes. No need for me to review the individual tunes; anybody with a radio has head most of them. A must-have for any music fan.

Great Children's CD.......2007-07-12

I grew up listening to these songs on an old record that my parents had. We lost the record and I searched for these songs for my new little baby girl. I am so happy that I found it on Amazon and that my baby girl gets to grow up with the same classics that I did when I was a kid. The CD is wonderful and the price was even better.

Aww the good old times!.......2007-06-18

I grew up with this music!! My dad bought the records when I was little, YES records! Im 25yrs old so this was the late the 80's when he purchased it. Now I have the opportunity to introduce this to my children! I'm so glad they are continuing to sell this music because I loved it as a child. I still remember taking the records out and asking my parents to play it.

Walt Disney CD: Characters Do Not Sing.......2007-06-06

I'm a little disappointed. I purchased this CD thinking The Disney Characters would be singing the songs. My son was all excited when I showed him the CD and asked me to play it. When he heard it he said "this is not Mickey Mouse". He was very sad. The songs on this CD are sung by children. The CD is ok.

Garbage.......2007-05-13

Really very boring and campy - I can't bear to listen and wish I could return it. In fact all of the Disney Lullabuys and children's songs were downright horrible. Stick with Baby Einstein, Rock a Bye Baby and Just for Kids - Curious George is great too

Yeah!.......2007-03-04

Much better than all of those other randon baby CD's where all of the songs sound exactly the same and sound like they are sung by chipmunks!!

I was glad to see "Understanding" and "Shakedown" included. Often the songs written for movies get overlooked. Both are terrific songs. Most of the other songs are available on other released albums. Note: I happened upon "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" when I discovered Bob Seger is not available via iTunes.

Disturbing! What is wrong with parents?.......2007-06-12

OMG..."Irreplacable" & "Lips of an Angel". Parents need to read the lyrics to these songs. These are songs with adult content. Man, they will sell anything to gullible parents.

Marilyn Manson is more kid-friendly than this.

Please spare us all of this horrid monstrosity........2007-05-31

What the hell is this? Kidz Bop takes crappy generic pop songs, but instead of gay male altos and sellout whores singing, you get children! Why would you create such torturous music? It makes me want to bite my penis off. Also, I'm tired of seeing those commercials on my cartoon stations. Dammit.

A disturbing warp on good songs.......2007-05-19

I'll make this short and sweet: Kidzbop destroys good songs. It is actually amusing though to see just how horribly they distort them. All the children singing have extremely exasperating voices and after the initial amusement at the lameness, Kidzbop just oozes annoyance. You couldn't pay me enough to make me want to listen to this CD.

Kidz Bop, Vol. 11 review.......2007-05-15

My four year old son loves this CD. In fact, he likes all the Kidz Bop CD's. It's nice that he can listen to popular music without being exposed to anything inappropriate.

great songs!.......2007-07-29

I bought this CD to work out with. It is great! Keeps me moving!

Putrid.......2007-06-21

I think this series perpetuates bad music. Observe- If I were in a band, and we somehow got famous, I would be livid if my music somehow wound up on this or on Kidz Bop. Therefore, Musicians (who care about music and fanbase rather than money and sales) are inadvertantly discouraged to make music that sells!

Of course, this is not exactly the case, but I would make sure my record contract included a clause to keep me off of these albums, if that's possible

1,2,3...22,23,24!.......2007-06-15

It's not the first CD, but the 24th! Now 24 has all of the recent "chart-topping hits"!

The first song is "Fergalicious" from Fergie. I would much rather just skip over that. Then it's Rihanna featuring Sean Paul with "Break it Off". Anyone who loves listening to them separately loves listening to them together. Next, "Say it Right" by Nelly Furtado, a slower song that is forgetable. Singing "Irreplaceable", Beyonce has hit the charts once again. A somewhat slow but catchy song is okay for me. Number five is "My Love" by Justin Timberlake. Again, I would much rather just skip over that. Akon appears with Snoop Dog singing "I Wanna Love You". This song was a very popular song, but gets a little old after a while. Bow Wow, Chris Brown, and Johnta Austin sing "Shortie Like Mine". This song is a very interesting song to listen to. Llyod and Lil Wayne with "You" is just another song. Two thumbs down for me. Song number nine is "Promise". Ciara has also hit the charts, but I don't treasure this song. Omarion appears with "Ice Box". I would definitely skip over that song. Chris Brown reappears singing "Say Goodbye" on track eleven. If you like that style of music, then you might enjoy this song. Corinne Bailey Rae sings "Put Your Records On". A slower song, but does speed up and slow down throughout the song. It could grow on you, though. Lily Allen with "Smile" appears on track thirteen. Knowing whom Lily Allen is and listening to her all of the time, is interesting to know that she made it on the charts (and on this CD) for being a fairly new artist. "Suyddenly I See" by KT Tunstall is a unique song that really stands out on this CD. I love listening to "Here (in Your Arms)" by Hellogoodbye. It is somewhat slow, but is very different. Track number sixteen is "Face Down" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. This song has a short story beneath the music; I love it! With constantly listening to The Fray, it doesn't surprise me that "How To Save A Life" is on the CD. A very sad and slow song is also amazing at the same time. Another sad but amazing song "If Everyone Cared" by Nickelback, which is absolutely amazing. Song after song, Nickelback is always perfecting them to once again hit the charts. On season five of American Idol, Chris Daughtry sings "It's Not Over" which amazes the "crowd" once again! The All-American Rejects appear on track twenty to end with "It Ends Tonight". It fits in perfectly with the sad and slower songs.

If you enjoy pop music, (or even rock or hip-hop), you would definitely enjoy this CD.

Excellent CD!!!!!.......2007-05-15

If you really need to be updated with the recent hits all around the USA, so you MUST buy this CD: it is an excellent compilation of all kinds of genres: rap, r&b, dance, rock and country. I missed only the hit THAT'S WHY I'M HOT by MISM. I hope it will be included on the next CD Now 25...

Aceptable.......2007-05-13

Es aceptable, aunque no todos los temas son muy buenos. De todos modos, hay que elegir solo lo que a uno le gusta.

It's one of the cruel ironies of music today that Billy Joel has been relegated to a kind of adult-contemporary hell, where his legacy is measured by soft-rock staples such as "Just the Way You Are," "Piano Man," and "New York State of Mind." To be sure, well-crafted ballads are a part of his legacy, but they're hardly the whole story, as this collection of his early and mid-period hits amply demonstrates. From the unbridled biographical boasting of "The Entertainer" and the ambitious storytelling of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" to the careening abandon of "Only the Good Die Young" and the thoughtful social commentary of "Allentown," Joel was as complete an artist as the last three decades have produced. --Daniel Durchholz

Billy Joel - A Decent Compilation.......2007-06-11

These days Billy Joel is often lumped in with Elton John as being remembered only for his top 40 radio hits and mushy ballads from the past several decades. Many people forget that like Elton, Joel put out some really strong albums in his early and mid-career. The guy was a songwriter's songwriter and not only could play a hell of a piano, but could be a very clever lyricist as well. Like Elton, Joel's output could be very inconsistent. For every "Goodnight Saigon" or "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" he wrote more throwaway stuff like "Uptown Girl" or "Tell Her About It". This two disc compilation captures all of his singles and some of his album tracks up to 1985. For the most part the material here is good, as you hear him move from an album oriented artist to a more commercial singles oriented one over the course of a little over a decade. The first disc is the best and starts out with some of the best cuts from his pre-superstar days. "Piano Man", "Captain Jack", "The Entertainer", and "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" are all great tracks and show a much different side of Joel than much of his later output. "The Stranger" is also included here. Although I was never crazy about the music or the chorus to this one, the lyrics are some of Joel's all time best. The rest of disc one starts dipping into Joel's big hit territory with the mush ballads "Just The Way You Are", and "She's Always A Woman" (written for his 1st wife who he would divorce not too many years later). The big hits "Only The Good Die Young" and "Moving Out" are also included. Disc two is not quite as strong. Three strong songs open the disc "My Life", "Big Shot" and "You May Be Right" all decent songs that got played to death on radio. Then it is back to mediocrity land with "It's Still Rock n Roll To Me" (I always think of the Weird Al Yankovic parody "It's Still Billy Joel To Me"), "Don't Ask Me Why", and "She's Got A Way". The best part of this disc is the three tracks from what is in my opinion Joel's strongest album "The Nylon Curtain". For this one Joel took a serious turn and came up with some really great songs. The 3 singles from the album are all represented here and they are all good ones. "Allentown" is a portrait of the Pennsylvania steel town after the industry pretty much pulled out. "Pressure" is another good one about the pressure of modern day life. "Goodnight Saigon" may be Joel's best all time work, and is a striking portrait of the Vietnam War. The last half of the CD covers Joel's Do Wop period with "Uptown Girl", "The Longest Time", and "Tell Her About It" (songs about his second wife whom he would eventually divorce). I am not much of a Do Wop fan so these don't do a lot for me. Two new (at the time) songs close the disc out and are pretty much both throw aways in my opinion. In the end this is a nice compilation of early Joel material. If you are looking for an overview this would be a good pick up.

Greatest Hits.......2007-05-11

Many "Greatest Hits..." albums and sets are lacking or down right suck. This set is great. The songs you want to hear the way you expect to hear them.

WARNING: Not the Complete Versions.......2007-03-31

I don't often get "greatest hits" collections, preferring instead to buy original albums, but in this case I did, because there are a handful of Billy Joel songs I wanted in my collection, but I didn't want to invest enough to purchase all of his albums. Unfortunately, they don't tell you that what you get here, at least in some instances, are the "single" versions of these songs, not the full-length versions from the original albums. Case in point: One of my favorite Billy Joel songs is "Just the Way You Are," but the version on this set cuts an entire verse. I haven't done comparisons on all of the other songs, but if they'd pull that on this song, they probably did so on others as well. It's incomprehensible to me; if someone wants Billy Joel songs, the odds are that they want the complete songs, not truncated re-edits.

I love it.......2007-01-11

I was familiar with a few of Billy Joel's songs, but I thought my disc collection would not be complete if I did not own a good sample of his material.
This product proposes a chronological approach and that suited me just fine. The two discs are loaded with all the classics. All of them wonderfully digitalized. I was able to appreciate the enormous range of Billy Joel. Great songwriter, great singer, great piano player. Although I am drummer, I do understand why people like him, or Sting, or Stevie Wonder, or Elton John, are on top of the music industry food chain. It is truly difficult to be able to master so many areas of music. And I am not talking about the performing, the band leading chores, the musical direction, production, publicity, all these extra skills to own in order to arrive where they are.
Getting one hit out is already a rare feat, but 35 or 40 like the ones presented in this compilation, require a truly great mind (something many one hit wonders wish to have).
I love this compilation. A great buy!

Fine Supplementary Summary.......2007-08-01

The only thing better than obtaining Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Chronicles' is getting all their original albums first hand. One minor problem with 'Chronicles 2' is that the song sequence is sometimes out of place. This second collection is basically the leftovers of 'Chronicles' 1. But, boy, what leftovers.

As a testament to the greatness of the group, the best songs, including "Born on the Bayou," "Walking on the Water," and "Molina," are formidable indeed. Also essential are hidden gems like "It Came Out of the Sky" and "Pagan Baby". Despite their fame for original songs, the collection provides some fine covers of "Good Golly, Miss Molly," "Hello Mary Lou," and "The Midnight Special". "Cotton Fields" really puts some life in an old traditional song. "Don't Look Now" is a decent variation of "Lookin' Out My Back Door". Although some of the rest isn't always as great. "Wish I Could Hideaway" and "It's Just a Thought" are good, but pale in comparison to the rest, and "Suzie Q, Pt. 2" is a decent, but non-essential, elaboration on the original.

Especially for those without a limitless budget, 'Chronicles 2' is a fine supplementary sampler, continuing the greatness for most of us who can't get enough of CCR or 'Chronicles'.

Great value. If you are into the 60s' and 70s' you will love this one.

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL JUST KEEPS ROCKIN' AND ROLLIN'........2007-02-13

I will be writing a review on the legendary compilation album entitled "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS" by one of Rock's most sacred legendary bands of all-time, I give you one of America's pride and joy's, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL. This legendary album would be originally released in 1986 on Vinyl/LP, Cassette and Compact Disc on the Fantasy Records label. Like "CHRONICLE, VOLUME ONE, 20 GREATEST HITS," "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, 20 GREAT CCR CLASSICS is released on a special Two-24-Karat Gold Compact Disc set edition. The 24-Karat Gold coating produces a highly reflective surface for the laser signal. In fact, the Gold CD is the ultimate experience in recorded music. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

The whole world was blessed with the original "CHRONICLE, VOLUME ONE, 20 GREATEST HITS" when it was released in 1976. Now the whole world would be blessed again ten years later with the release of "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS" in 1986. Its only appropriate that Fantasy Records would release another compilation collection on this legendary band, there was just not enough room to put all of their hit songs on the first volume. When you listen to "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS," you realize that this band really recorded some fantastic hits throughout their whole career. It also makes you wonder what took Fantasy Records so long (Ten years) to release the second volume. In my opinion, "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS" is another true testament of the sheer greatness, graceful genius and a fine tribute to a legendary band that has already been proven to be ahead of their time.

Now we get to the most important part of the whole review, the music. If you want to hear the true Rocker's on this compilation album, listen to the songs such as "Walk On The Water," "Susie Q (Part two)," the breathtaking "Born On The Bayou," the Little Richard classic "Good Golly Miss Molly," the rugged "Tombstone Shadow," "It Came Out Of The Sky," the Elvis like Rocker "My Baby Left Me," the wicked "Pagan Baby," the soulful heartfelt "It's Just A Thought," the tough rockin' "Molina," the spirited "Born To Move" and the Ricky Nelson classic "Hello Mary Lou."

The slow Rock Ballads on this compilation album are the classics such as "Wrote A Song For Everyone" and "(Wish I Could) Hideaway." CCR could really show their sensitive side by playing a little more mellower.

The only slow Blues Rocker on this compilation album is the classic song "Night Time Is The Right Time." This Blues number is a true heartfelt song recorded the CCR way. CCR could really play the Blues.

The Country Rockers on this compilation album are the classic songs such as "Cotton Fields," "Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me)," the ever popular "The Midnight Special," "Before You Accuse Me" and "Lookin' For A Reason." These are pure Country Rockers, my favorite is "The Midnight Special."

Overall, this is one hell of compilation album that compliments the other original volume perfectly.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this second volume compilation album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary compilation album has already been proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER.

In closing, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL will forever be remembered as the people's band that represented the youth culture and the bikers of the turbulent sixties and beyond. Their music expressed the feeling of how the times were unfolding during the turbulent sixties and into the seventies. When CCR broke up, one of Rock's greatest all-time bands would be silenced and laid to rest. The world was waiting for a reunion but all hopes would be shattered with the untimely death of TOM FOGERTY on 6 September 1990. FOGERTY would die as a result of AIDS given to him through a blood transfusion. Prior to his death, the FOGERTY brothers did not get along and would be fighting constantly throughout their whole career together. TOM FOGERTY was establishing himself in his own right as a songwriter and singer but remained in the shadow of his brother JOHN FOGERTY throughout their whole career. TOM FOGERTY would be the first CCR member to quit the band and go solo. CCR would later break up in 1972. However, the remaining surviving members would have a brief reunion while receiving Rock's highest ultimate honor of being inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in January 1993. As of this date, JOHN FOGERTY resolved his conflict issues and legal disputes with his old record label Fantasy Records and is now back with his old label better than ever keeping the CCR legend alive. So here's to you John, the late great Tom, Stu and Clifford. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL LIVES. JOHN FOGERTY RULES. R.I.P. TOM FOGERTY, Born 9 November 1941, Died 6 September 1990. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

Amazon.com

Every track on this CD contains a beautiful melody, many of them easily recognizable, all of them exuding tranquility. "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi opens the disc, with Bell delicately accompanied by a harp and spinning the long melody with great sensitivity. Bellini's "Casta diva" from Norma lives up to its reputation as the epitome of bel canto in Bell's hands; his violin sings. The middle movement of Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto takes well to the violin, and Debussy's "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" is played with great warmth and sensuality. It would be easy to turn a recital like this into treacle, but Bell is wise enough to realize that the music is already sweet enough and he plays with great reserve and a minimum of sentimental slides. The light accompaniments always support, with woodwinds prominent but used with grace. This CD, in short, is a beauty: a fine gift, a lovely mood setter. --Robert Levine

Romance of the Violin.......2007-07-16

While it's not my very favorite Joshua Bell CD, this is a pleasure to listen to!

End of the Day.......2007-06-08

I am a Joshua Bell fan, and this album is the one that I enjoy with my dessert, it calms me at the end of the day, and makes me think of my 6 year old granddaughter's visit. She has to have music on during meals at her home. Usually it is some kid stuff, but I do not have anything like she has at home, so I chose to play Joshua Bell during our dinner. When I placed the dessert before her, she looked up at me and said: "This music is so beautiful, I want to play the violin just like that". What more could I say.
He is inspiring, and she is right. This album is beautiful.

Wonderful!.......2007-05-30

I play this for my grandson to nap by. It is so relaxing and wonderful!

Over and over and over...........2007-05-17

That's how I want to play this CD! It's a wonderful line-up of rich, mellow, captivating compositions played with a warmth and vibrancy that is seldom heard. Joshua at his very best. You won't be disappointed.

Non-standard CD format.......2007-04-22

The music on this CD deserves five stars, but the CD itself is a non-standard format that doesn't work on all players. There's a tiny warning on the back of the CD. You won't notice the warning until you discover that the CD doesn't work on your player. My Macintosh computer wouldn't read the non-standard format so there was no way for me to listen in my office or put the music on my iPod.

A friend's PC was able to read the CD and make a copy in standard format that can be read on any player, including my Mac. The story had a happy ending, but I can not comprehend why the publisher chose the oddball CD specification.

The music is excellent and worth the trouble of making a copy, but the publisher really shouldn't make you go to that effort just to listen to a CD that you paid for.
