Have some friends who still haven't discovered what the Sarah Brightman fuss is all about? You'll find the perfect introduction to make converts of them all in Classics, so they'll have no more excuses to remain clueless. Sporting a Botticelli-inspired image of the platinum-selling soprano on the cover, Classics is a classy anthology including highlights from three of Brightman's chart-topping releases along with seven new tracks. Songs personally selected by the diva as her favorite classical interpretations are culled from her previous blockbusters: Time To Say Goodbye, Eden, and La Luna. And whether you're a fan already in the fold or one in the making, the new material here shows the diva at the top of her form, in new renderings of "O Mio Babbino Caro" and "Nessun Dorma" (accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic)--fascinating displays of the operatic confidence she's developed over her career. Other new offerings include a touching version of Schubert's "Ave Maria,' "Winter Light," a fresh take on her signature song "Pie Jesu" (from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem). "Alhambra" and "Dans La Nuit"--a real treat, bathing the listener in Brightman's silky, sensuous vocalism--add two original titles to her famous adaptations of classical melodies to new lyrics (using Chopin's haunting E major Etude in the latter case). All told, a lovely affirmation of the directions Brightman has boldly taken in her career to date. -Sarah Chin

Sarah's Best Easy Listening CD.......2007-03-15

Sarah Brightman's talent is limitless. Her soprano and/or alto voice is among the best and she lets it show in 'CLASSICS'. CLASSICS is a beautiful, easy listening, and peaceful CD. CLASSICS is one to listen to in tranquil or relaxing moments. "CLASICS" is a collection of great pieces of music written by great composers (Shuburt, Handel, Chopin, Puccini, and the like). I have listened to CLASSICS about 15 times now and it always puts me in a quiet and peaceful mood (I am ~50 years old).

Best Brightman CD.......2007-02-07

A classical composition which showcases the beautiful voice of Sarah Brightman. A timeless CD which will continue to be a favourite over the years.

Sarah Brightman is a Classic.......2007-01-02

Sarah Brightman is at her best in "Classics." From Dvorak's "Rusalka" (Opera B.203) to Beethoven's haunting Op 52, slow movement (Symphony #7), Brightman's voice and lyrical style are a joy. I particularly enjoy her performances of Schubert's Ave Maria and Andrew Lloyd Weber's Pie Jesu. This is a great add to my collection of serious music.

Not The Best - Not the Worst - From Sarah Brightman.......2006-12-30

After purchasing this CD for my iPod for iTunes, I must say that I'm a little bit dissapointed. 7 new recordings and 8 old ones, ones that I already happen to have. I do like the fact that they're all on one CD! Some of her new recordings, including, "Ave Maria", "Winter Light", "Alhambra", "Dans La Nuit", and the new recording of "Pie Jesu" are just too breathy for my taste. It seems as with every changing CD, Sarah's voice changes. I'm not saying that the result is bad; it actually gives the songs more of a dream like quality, but I'm used to the younger, more Andrew Lloyd-Webber integrated Sarah. Scooping continually occurs in new recordings of "O Mio Babbino Caro", and "Nessun Dorma". In some tracks from La Luna, like "Figlio Perduto", Sarah's voice is TOTALLY dominated by harmonizing recordings that sound almost mechanical.

OVERALLY - The new songs sound O.K. and the old recordings are just as good as they were back then. This album is still a great buy!

Nice Cover.......2006-12-27

I'm a heterosexual guy who's not an opera aficionado - I only mention these facts because I seem to be right in the bull's-eye of the target market for this product. Sarah B. has a nice voice and she's pretty. Both of these are featured prominently on this CD. The cover and several pages in the insert are devoted to what must have been a very long and expensive photo shoot (and Photoshop) of a semi-clad Sarah looking marvelous. (The CD also comes with a flyer so you can buy various Brightman "Classics" apparel - perhaps not for the heterosexual male).

As far as the music goes: not bad, not great. I don't claim to have the most discerning ears for this sort of music, but everything was OK by me. However, the pieces on the CD with which I'm somewhat familiar, such as "O Mio Babbino Caro," didn't sound quite as good as other versions I've heard (and that includes by Charlotte Church, not just opera stars). Also, the solo version of "Time to Say Goodbye" didn't sound nearly as good to me as the duet with Bocelli.

In sum, there were 3-4 songs I liked enough to rip to MP3s - which is enough so that I didn't feel ripped myself...

I will never forget...........2006-10-19

That day in 1969, I bought this album, put it on my hi-fi, and found out what blues guitar was all about. This is one of a handful of albums that I always have kept close at hand and updated. I saw Winter live in 1970 in Columbia, SC. He had then picked up Rick Derringer and was touring about the South with The Allman Brothers. I will never forget the sight of Winter thrashing about the stage his fingers a blur of white lightening: His pale skin and white hair were so exaggerated because he was otherwise totally dressed in black. What a show that was. Until this album was released, I thought I had heard what rock/blues guitar sounded like via the albums of Cream, Hendrix and the like...but for my money, if it's pure, nasty, sliding blues guitar you want, you won't do much better than this album. It's a classic sounding as good today as it did 37 years ago; it's truly one of a kind. This is definitely an album for anyone who loves the blues and wants their collection to be complete. This is a no brainer...

37 years later!.......2006-10-04

I bought this album in 1969 when I was in high school, and I was completly blown away. By the time I graduated from college I had pretty much worn it out. This year I "rediscovered" it on CD. It's still one of the best examples of blues guitar I have ever heard, and I've been listening to it at least once a week for the last 5 months. I'm still trying to figure out which version of "Dallas" I like better. (The next album I bought was BB King Live and Well, but that's another story).

A Great Album!.......2006-06-26

Johnny Winter is quite simply excellent on guitar and vocals, John Turner and Tommy Shannon Round out his trio solidly and guest appearances from Water Horton, Willie Dixon and John's brother Edgar make the music excellent. The songs "I'm Yours and I'm Hers" and "Dallas" are quite different and both great, excellent sound quality and liner notes.

Now for some serious blues guitar.......2006-03-10

Thanks to the reviews that came before mine. I had been looking for a Johnny Winter cd (having nothing by him) and the reviews on this page convinced me to start here.

Glad I did. As a guitarist I am blown away by Winter's approach to the blues. No compromises to the current music scene going on in '69. This guy just brought the serious, serious blues to this album. He burns through a set of standard blues songs leaving the listener dumbfounded.

His brother, Edgar, joins him on a couple of tunes with keyboards and horns. Most of the songs are performed with just bass and drums backing up Johnny's guitar.

The sound of this remastered cd is incredible. I still have a hard time believing this was recorded in 1969. The only let down - it's kind of short. But that's not a real drawback. It's so good you'll just put it on replay or shuffle.

Along with the original album artwork you get a short but informative write-up on what led up to the recording sessions for this debut.

If you're a fan of Hendrix, Page, Clapton, and Beck and haven't heard Winter then this just might be like Christmas day for you.

Mess'n With A Fool.......2005-09-25

I bought this LP in 1969. I then toiled for hours teaching myself how to play the lead in Messn with a fool. The technique, tone and style of JW at his peak is still unsurpassed. The music is simple put JW's guitar is a hurricane unleashed. His singing is also excellent. This man is no rock n roll blues afficionado. This man is the real deal.

Classic Album.......2007-06-28

This is one of the best live rock/blues preformances I have ever heard. Johnny was at the top of his game!!

Good but a little overrated .......2006-12-31

I don't mean Johnny is over rated cause he wrote the book . The Sound quallity is a little lacking on Live And ... Derringers Guitar is a lot Lower in the mix than Winters .The song list is good but better on other live albums like Walking by my self and Lone Star shoot out .There are great versions of JJ Flash and JB Goode on here . A drum solo and a full lenghth guitar spotlight solo arn't really needed here , there are to many other songs they could be jamming on .
I saw johnny and Edgar at the 97 show they recoded in NYC , Johnny and Edgar dual back and forth Edgar on Sax Johnny ,guitar. Loud and Clear

Katie, Bar the Door........2006-12-26

This is one of my top 10 favorite rock guitar albums of all time. The energy captured on this live session is unbelievable. Rarely have I heard 2 guitarists propel and counter one another like Winter and Derringer do here. Sure some of the material is overly familiar (Johnny B. Goode, etc), but after hearing these versions of the songs, most others pale in comparison. Tight and driving stuff here. Check out this rhythm section!
Considering the deluxe treatment recently given to Second Winter, I can't help hoping that the PTB will see fit to offer a remixed and expanded version of this recording...and SOON.

Nothing like it on the planet.......2006-11-20

One of my huge regrets in life is not being at this concert. Missing Cream at Fillmore West is the other.

That being said, if you own 2 rock CDs, this should be one of them. It is one of the top five rock albums of all time and the hardest of the Johnny Winter albums, played when he was at his absolute peak. Not only that, playing off with Rick Derringer at his career peak, and the solid bass of Randy Jo Hobbs, and the driving intensity of drummer Bobby Caldwell will kick your body and head and leave you breathless, gasping for more. You WILL replay it, louder.

Every song is excellent, from memory: It starts with Good Morning Little School Girl, an old Chuck Berry song gone berzerk. Next is the most perfect rock 'n roll song - ever, period: Jumpin Jack Flash. OMG! C. Michael Bailey from All ABout Jazz says, "Jumpin' Jack Flash is as final a statement in Rock Music as can be hoped for". Or might I add, possible. It starts fast and rises perfectly to a peak and then comes down to just the right place. Next we're gonna slow things down and do some blues for ya - yeah, right: Its My Own Fault: The rhythm is blues, but the guitar is blazing fast. How does he do that? Next is the Rock 'n Roll Medley, a rising intensity of insanity thinly masquerading as three old rock 'n roll songs climaxing in a guitar explosion. Mean Town Blues is next, are you ready for it? No rest for you yet - A nine minute flaying of your sensibilities, the pace is laid down by a relentless Caldwell and wired over with almost sadistic guitar work. The drum beat increases in speed and ferocity to near insanity. Johnny B. Goode is last, but not least; a fast riff on riff slamming the album's door shut in your face. There isn't a mistake in the whole album, just an intensity that most guitarists can't even dream about.

These boys are the best; at their best. And they'll leave you breathless and wanting more.

Well?

GREAT ROCK AND ROLL.......2006-05-25

JOHNNY WINTER HAS HAD SEVERAL PHASES TO HIS CAREER. THIS ALBUM DATES BACK TO THE EARLY 70'S, WHEN HE WAS PLAYING STRAIGHT AHEAD ROCK AND ROLL, WHICH HE HASN'T DONE NOW IN OVER THIRTY YEARS. WHILE HIS LATER AUTHENTIC BLUES MUSIC IS GREAT, THIS ALBUM JUST GOES TO ANOTHER LEVEL, WITH ITS HARD DRIVING RHYTHM, AND SCREAMING GUITARS (WITH RICK DERRINGER). IF YOU LIKE ROCK AND ROLL YOU WILL LOVE THIS ALBUM.

This is in my opinion the best JW cd of them all. The bonus tracks are absolutly must haves. This is one of the best blues/rock album you will find.

Second Winter is "First" in My Book.......2007-04-03

Awesome follow-up to Johnny Winter. As amazing and great as the previous album is, I have to give Second Winter the edge with regard to preference. This two-disc "Legacy Edition" is broken into two parts-
Disc One- The original LP + 2 bonus tracks
Disc Two- The legendary previously unreleased Live At The Royal Albert Hall concert recorded on April 17th, 1970.

The sterling remastering on disc one and the treasure that is disc two make this a must-own for anyone interested in late 1960's blues or hard rock.

SIX stars--indispensable for all blues-rock fans!!.......2007-01-13

This album is the greatest re-release ever in the history of rock--period! Not only is the studio (original) portion of Second Winter an absolute gem, the live recording newly added here is even better! This package goes right alongside the Allman Brothers Fillmore East recordings as the greatest blues-driven rock guitar music out there--long overdue! Johnny will blow you away with his smoking guitar chops and soulful singing. And when he starts the intro guitar solo to B.B. King's "It's My Own Fault", you would swear you were listening to B.B. himself! The rapid-fire licks he throws off during "Mama, Talk To Your Daughter" are wicked.

A young Edgar Winter joins him onstage for the last half of the concert to show off his own prowess on keyboards, sax, drums, and vocals. Also a talented guy, no doubt. Sometimes his screechy falsetto gets a little old--that's my only gripe on this whole package. But's it's not enough of a blemish to take away from this being the most indispensable release of the past few years!

If you've seen Johnny Winter recently in concert, you know as well as I that he's past his prime, bless him. Well, Second Winter is his prime, for sure, so if you're not too familiar with early recordings of Johnny, you are sorely missing out. Miss out no more, and get this CD package!!!

Contains One of the Best Blues Guitar Tracks Ever Recorded.......2006-10-16

Prior to hearing 'Second Winter,' one of my favorite electric Blues tunes had been when then-unknown Johnny Winter joined Michael Bloomfield on stage at the Filmore East and played an unbelievable 11 minute version of BB's 'It's My Own Fault.' I highly recommend getting your hands on that, but the slower 12 minute version included here is equally as good. It really showcases Johnny's amazing ability to combine lightning-fast speed with deep, emotion-jarring blues. This Cd validates that Johnny was one of the best Blues-Rock guitarists during his prime era. Another great blues track on this CD set is the live version of the classic 'Mama Talk to Your Daughter.' If you're looking for more great slow blues by Johnny, look for 'Be Careful with a Fool,' 'Life is Hard,' and 'You Keep Saying that You're Leaving.'

Just About His Best.......2007-07-10

Johnny Winter made a lot of great albums but, to me, "Still Alive and Well," produced with Rick Derringer, stands out as even better than the rest. This album marked tbe high point of his career.

"Rock Me Baby," "Rock N' Roll" and the title track are probably his most remembered from this album, but "Cheap Tequila" has always been my favorite. Another great track is the country and westernish "Ain't Nothing to Me": Like most great C&W tunes, it's all in the lyrics. And I don't want to leave out mention of the two covers of Rolling Stone songs, "Let It Bleed" and "Silver Train." Although it appears on the Stones' "Goats Head Soup" album, "Silver Train" was actually written by Jagger and Richards specifically for Johnny Winter.

There isn't a weak song on the album and, with the CD, you get two excellent bonus tracks that weren't on the original LP: "Lucille" and a kick a** version of Bob Dylan's "From a Buick Six."

Bye the way, Johnny Winter is still alive and well, although every now and then I think it's kinda hard to tell...

Pure Art!.......2007-04-04

Johnny Winter made the mean and nasty blues/rock gutair sound a staple. No other can compeat. Excellent recording.

I just wish the bonus songs had Johnny's signature gutair tracks on them, but hey, still superb!

I love this album!.......2007-01-05

This album / CD rocks! Can't stop playing it! Nuff said.

This album came out before i was born!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-03

And it is one of my all time favorites!!!!!!
I got it when Wherehouse music was going out of business-all the cassettes were 1/2 off. I got it just because I had "heard of" Johnny Winter. So I drove home with about 7 tapes and listened to this one and then the next........ A week later I was thinking of the songs on it and have been a fan since. Its got that vibe that great records have. I was floored by the slide work.I love this album. It is unlike his other albums as he is avid blues player. But on this album and another he lets go and rocks with the best. Give this one a chance and see what you think.

Polished , Hard And Maybe His Best Circa 1973 and 1974.......2006-12-25

Johnny Winter was poised and achieved heavy acclaim at the time of this release and his next "Saints @ Sinners" which also should not be missed for relative tight blues rock so in tune at the time....hailed as "comeback", Indeed, Still Alive and Well is a solid recording and this fine sounding CD featured tight blues from this Powerhouse Trio...An occasional mellotron (Todd Rundgren), piano and flute sweeten out the mix as the Winter band never strays from it's roots covering usual old blues covers, new tunes from the band and the occasional Stones (and bonus Dylan Cover) covers, in this case a really fine reworking of "Silver Train" that was heavily played on FM radio in New York at the time of "Goats Head Soup" while also covering the Stones "Let It Bleed"..
Dylan's 'From A Buick 6" (Highway 61 Revisited)is an added workout,Rick Derringer's "Still Alive And Well" is a kicker and the sweet "Cheap Tequila" and low down accoustic "Too Much Seconal" are the standouts.

The walls are "Rollin' & Tumblin" with this Winter gem........2007-07-28

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's.

You've heard the story before. An artist makes it big and there is a mad scramble to find anything prior to their rise to fame. Often the product may be interesting but isn't at the level the consumer demands. "The Progressive Blues Experiment" is not the typical archival find. Over the years there have been at least ten different labels that have had the rights to this because of the music and not only the name.

Originally recorded in 1967 the ten tracks are a tremendous treat as we travel down a Winter road. Any doubts of the validity of this release are erased the second Muddy Water's "Rollin' & Tumblin" booms from the speakers. The version is one of the finest covers of the tune. The guitar is a sonic blast of energy played with exquisite taste. Johnny penned the next song "Tribute To Muddy." The blues shred anything in its path. A perfect follow up to the opening number. "Bad Luck & Trouble" has Winter's guitar crying the blues. If you don't sincerely pay homage the blues will spit you out like yesterday's supper. Johnny with six string in his hand seems to relish the role. The Dixon/Williamson tune "Help Me" comes at you with volcanic ashes. Nothing is left standing. Chester Burnett's "Forty-Four" is a perfect close to the festivities. Winter plays a classic blues/rock riff with gusto. The power of the band (Remember it was guitar ,bass, and drums) will leave you shell shocked.

Although even the remastered versions don't increase the ten tracks, the original configuration is all you need to appreciate a blues legend. While Johnny's music is normally thought of as part of the Columbia Records catalog, there once was a label called Imperial. You know the story, now enjoy the blues!

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

Very very good CD some of the best that Johnny Winter has done the guitar work is outstanding with traces of Elmore James and Robert Johnson. I highly recomend this cd to anyone that enjoys the blues.

FANTASTIC GUITAR WORK.......2007-03-10

JOHNNY really becomes "JOHNNY GUITAR" when ever I hear his music.
Great CD

Over powered with bass and drums .......2007-01-22

worthless cd!

only 3 songs are good, the rest are overpowered by the bass and drums. who mixed this thing>?!

Is Tommy Shannon the bass player on this? He played for Johnny early on.

I like Tommy, saw him 5 times with Stevie Ray and twice with Kenny Wayne, first time with Kenny was a full show, late 90's, just a stunning show. Then they opened for ZZ Top and Ted Nugent, played maybe 45 min, in the daylight. It was just "okay"

Seen Johnny in the middle 1980's, he mowed everyone down in the crowd! Stunning. His Lazer was tuned like it should, high and over the bass and drums. stunning night. he came on about 1am haha

Then I saw Johnny a few years ago, they had to help him up on stage and he sat, played sloooooowwwwwwww. I understand. You know, its sad, but he def didn't listed to Nancy Reagan's just say NO deal during his hay days. At this show he must of looked 90 years old.

Well to the matter at hand, this cd. Before I write a review, I listen to something on a few dif media's I have, home, cars, all of which have nice systems. Only 3 songs come out great, that's because it's all Johnny only on 2, Bad luck and trouble, and Broke Down engine. Its own fault, is "okay".

Everything else, bass and drums, bass and drums, bass and drums.

Thanks to all those in here who wrote such glowing rave reviews, you deaf? again, more waste of money on me thanks to tone deaf reviewers.

Someone has to write an honest review, to save others cashola.

To bad it's me so many times.

This 16-track anthology spans the first decade of albino Texas blues guitarist Johnny Winter's career, especially the early (1969-'73) Columbia albums that built his legend. While some purists have groused at his often manic precision, this collection makes a point of underscoring his impressive range as a musician. The fervent gospel-blues of "I'll Drown in My Tears" showcases Winter's vocal stylings (and is one of several tracks featuring brother and frequent sideman Edgar), then segues neatly into the spare, acoustic heat of the dobro-'n'-flute rarity "Come On in My Kitchen." But the emphasis is on Winter's showy rock star turns and the collaborations with his potent band (and fellow axeman Rick Derringer and his cohorts from the McCoys, of "Hang on Sloopy" fame) on "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo," "Still Alive and Well," and forceful live workouts of "It's My Own Fault" and "Mean Town Blues." His original, late-'60s power trio is on display here, too, and that small, formidable outfit can't help but emphasize the debt that Stevie Ray Vaughan and many of his musical progeny owe Winter. Indeed, Winters's bassist in the trio was none other than Tommy Shannon, who would enjoy another turn in the spotlight a decade later in Vaughan's Double Trouble. If American electric blues is your gospel, this collection should be one of its cornerstones of faith. --Jerry McCulley

BLUES BABY.......2007-04-05

You know if Johnny did't exist you would have to think he was a work of fiction cooked up in some promoters mind in the late 60's high powered Blues Boom. Johnny was certainly in the ritht place at the right time. The man was the real deal with a depth of talent rarely seen...and he was well versed in a lot of music styles besides the blues and thats what sets JW apart from the crowd--besides being a 6' albino from Texas. All in all this is a great collection of songs from an American Treasure..He dam well should be!!

winters attacks the blues.......2007-01-12

I think he is one of the best musicians that has redone the blues, he could play the guitar and make it sound like his second nature

Winter shines in the summer also.......2006-07-13

classic Johnny Winter songs are a haven for old electric blues fans--

Great starter CD.......2004-06-21

This is a great CD to get you going into the world of Johnny Winter.

I'm not too thrilled about the Rick Derringer tune but a little bit of everything is covered here. From the rocking 'Johnny B. Goode' to the slide playing on 'Highway 61 Revisited' to the shredding on 'Hustled Down In Texas' to the melodic blues of 'It's My Own Fault', this is a great buy.

Best of Johnny Winter.......2003-01-01

This is a nice CD that covers the early years of Johnny's career. His range in many aspects is one of a kind. Its nice to feel the music rather than just listen to the music. For all you young rock and blues fans take notice, Johnny truly is an American guitar legend. Go out and get this one now!

Customer Reviews:

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!

Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)

You might try other albums from Silva Screen, all worthy of a good listen ~ "The Essential James Bond" (SSD-1034)..."Bond:Back In Action" (SSD-1100)..."Bond:Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)..."Zulu" (SSD-1095)..."Raise The Titanic" (SSD-1102)..."Walkabout" (SSD-1120)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.

Two cracking late-`70s albums from Blues Rock guitarist Johnny Winter. Muddy Waters and James Cotton feature on Nothin' But The Blues. Johnny Winter is still actively gigging and recording. Digitally re-mastered and slipcased. New notes.

Customer Reviews:

Two of his best!.......2007-06-15

This is a great opportunity to have both these albums on CD. I have both on CD and vinyl already, but the remastering is very good. Despite being 30 years since original release they are still a great collection of blues. Check out the re-issued "Johnny Winter" "Second Winter" and "Progressive Blues Experiment" CDs.

About time these albums were re released........2007-06-12

Having owned both of them on vinyl since the late 70's I was amazed to see that finally they are out together no less.Two great albums by a man on top of his game. By the way my turn table has gone the way of the steam engine but the albums are still in pristine order.

JW in His Prime, Taking His Time.......2007-05-15

Firstly, you probably already have these on vinyl and want to know if the quality is there. Yes, these are Sony authorized productions. In fact, they are digitally remastered...it's sounds great, no worries. And yes both albums are on a single CD. Nothing But.. has been out for years and is a great blues album. Backed by Muddy's band including James Cotton on harp, this recording of original material has JW singing good time, rough, heartfelt blues. Unlike the earlier arena rock albums, he slows it down and delivers core blues. Also the relaxed time and fun in studio really comes through here. Now this is the first I've found White, Hot & Blue on CD, and thank God for that. This is a total gem of a recording. Same core blues, but definitely more plugged in. Backed by a very tight group of smoking players, this finds JW on primarily covers, putting the originals in their best possible light. The surprise is Pat Ramsey on harp, I can't say if he's technically great, but he sounds awesome. The best description of this album, "slinky." These recordings supported JW on tour enlightening us to purely American music played by a man that can only be described as a National Treasure. I dare you to listen to these recordings and be in a bad mood.

Another great album by Johnny. He stays true to blues and rock with this album.

Johnny still the best!.......2007-06-02

Having been a Johnny Winter fan for the past 15 years, and having seen him several times, this album is a great collection for any Johnny Winter fan. It is not his best work, but a good CD non the less. Since it is a 3-piece band, which Johnny prefers, he makes the most of the songs albiet they are cover tunes. I especially like his version of Bob Dylan's "Like a rolling Stone". and "New York New York". The atmosphere of the album seems to be Johnny just having fun, which as we know is when Johnny plays his best guitar!
