5 out of 5 stars If you can find it.......2007-07-06

Buy The Import "See For Miles Records" It is very hard to find. But it has the extended version of "Birth Of The Beat" Between my dad and my brother and myself we must have worn out 8 LPs. I have bought 3 CDs of the import. I have two That I shared with my dad before he passed away and gave my Brother one.

4 out of 5 stars Good percussion work.......2007-03-26

I've been looking for these two (combined on the CD) albums for a long time. I really enjoyed them.

5 out of 5 stars Let There be Drums.......2005-09-14

I purchased this CD for my nephew who's been playing the drums for about a year. He never heard of Sandy Nelson before...but listened to the CD over a dozen times the day he received it. He's thanked me over and over again for such a great, drum playing collection of music.

4 out of 5 stars Sandy Nelson.......2005-09-07

Sandy Nelson's Let There Be Drums and Drums Are My Beat, brought back great memories of the 60's. Anyone who loves the old rock and roll, will love this.

5 out of 5 stars Sandy Nelson.......2004-01-03

Out of all of Sandy's recordings this album captures his most unique style. Teen beat 65 is proof of Sandy's way of making drums seem to come to life.
He is one of the very few drummers who has made such a personal impact on so many through out the years.
He changed the drumming world.

There's no better example of American pop culture's hall-of-mirrors ethos than producer Alan Carr's relentlessly buoyant 1978 film adaptation of the stage musical Grease. Inspired by that decade's rampant 50's nostalgia, it now paradoxically evokes the campy 70's excesses that spawned it. That sense of recycled decades in collision is underscored repeatedly on this deluxe, double-disc Grease-fest, especially on the set's second disc of bonus materials that spans vintage singles of the title track (its instrumental B-side) and "Greased Lightnin'," some sing-along karaoke tracks, and a handful of alternately slick/techo-savvy remixes (originally produced for the film's 20th anniversary) that are testament to its enduring, era-defying appeal. The original soundtrack itself has been treated to a stellar digital remastering that fills disc one, and remains a joyous monument to camp, sheer ambition, and exuberant nostalgic illusions. Includes a slip-cased, double-fold-out case and new booklet with complete song lyrics. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars You 're The One That I Want.......2007-04-03


The complete Grease experience. This cd is a two disc-set with disc one being the complete soundtrack, while disc two is all bonus material including the popular Grease Megamix. Fans of the movie would want to make this cd an essential part of their music collection.

5 out of 5 stars Prepare to be transported to Summer Nights.......2006-03-26

Well here we are with a great piece of history.

This album has not only captured the spirit of the movie but the essence of a 1970's version of the 1950's. I have seen this play live and yes some things are different. Yet I grew up on the movie. I even find myself singing some of the songs now and then. Of course you will never see me singing "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." However I do keep this in my car as great driving music. This album is not you can pick apart and say things like missing songs, in the wrong order etc. It sounds and feels just right. There will be many versions yet this one is the Grease - Deluxe Edition [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SOUNDTRACK] gives you more information about each of the tracks allowing you to feel that you have inside information and to feel that you know more of what went into the making of each song.

5 out of 5 stars Great Soundtrack & Fun Extras from an Enduring Musical........2004-07-06

I'm enjoying listening to this great soundtrack that I loved as a child after a long hiatus. I had it on 8-track 25 years ago. So it's fitting that I should get the 25th Anniversary Edition on CD. The 24 songs from the movie are just as everyone remembers them, so I'll talk about the Bonus Disc, which contains 10 alternative versions of the songs plus 2 previously unreleased instrumentals from the film.

Track 1 on the Bonus Disc is an instrumental version of the film's theme, "Grease", written and produced by Barry Gibb. Frankie Valli's voice has been replaced by a saxophone. The chorus is vocal, but the voices are not those in the original song. You could use this as a sing-along version, as it would be easy to sing over the sax. Tracks 2-5 are officially sing-along versions. "Summer Nights" includes the chorus vocals from the film and sounds good. "You're the One That I Want" has new chorus vocals of questionable merit. "Sandy" is a new arrangement. It's not as good as the film version, but you can sing along. Track 6 is the single version of "Greased Lightning" that you may have heard on the radio back in the day. It's differs from the original in that the bad words have been replaced for radio airplay. Tracks 7-8 are previously unreleased instrumentals from the film. "Greased Up and Ready to Go" is lively. Tracks 9-10 are mixes that I occasionally hear on the radio. The "Grease Megamix" and the "Grease Dream Mix" are fun, if awkward. Tracks 11-12 are Martian Remixes of "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want". They retain the original vocals, but set them to a Latin rhythm. They make pretty good dance tracks.

This 2-disc set isn't in a jewel case. The case is paperboard with 4 panels that fold out. This is inside of a clear vinyl slip case on which the tracks are written. This isn't convenient packaging. On the bright side, the case won't crack in the mail. Tucked inside one of the panels is a booklet that contains lyrics and credits.

The "Grease: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" is a terrifically fun soundtrack to one of the all-time great movie musicals. And for all those preteen girls who go wild over the movie with each new generation, the bonus material is perfect for parties and horsing around.

3 out of 5 stars If You Love Grease, You'll Love This - Only 1 Major Flaw.......2004-05-15

Disc 1 is like the original album, which I also own. 1 major flaw is that "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" cuts off at the very end of it! I was upset by this, hence the 3 stars instead of 4. Disc 2 is a lot of fun w/some remixes and sing-a-longs, all in all, I'm pretty happy with it being that I'm a HUGE Grease fan. If you like Grease, you'll love this, it's fun. Too bad when they "remastered" it, they didn't catch there 1 mistake. Oh well, at least I have it on another album.

Album Description

Featuring original music composed by Alberto Iglesias. Adapted from the best-seller John le Carre's romantic thriller, two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz head the cast of "The Constant Gardener." In a remote area of northern Kenya, the dedicated activist Tessa Quayle (Weisz) is found brutally murdered. Her travelling companion, a local doctor, appears to have fled the scene and the evidence points to a crime of passion. Sandy Woodrow (Danny Huston), Sir Bernard Pellegrin (Bill Nighy), and other member of the British High Commission assume that Tessa's widower, their mild-mannered colleague Justin Quayle (Fiennes) will leave the matter to their discretion. They could not be more wrong... Featuring music performed by acclaimed Kenyan percussionist and Real World recording artist Ayub Ogada, Alberto Iglesias' ("La Mala Educacion," "The Dancer Upstairs," "Todo Sobre Mi Madre") lush score evokes the film's compelling African and European landscapes.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful Score.......2007-04-24

For someone like me who purchases soundtracks for the score to use for dance & skating programs, this soundtrack definitely made it into my collection. My only minus to the soundtrack is that there isn't much variety among the many tracks. But I am still able to work around it.

3 out of 5 stars Only track 13.......2007-03-31

In my opinion, only track 13 is worthy of buy this CD. Track 13 is beautiful, other than that extremely depressing music...... Once again track 13 is the most beautiful adn touching music that I have ever heard!

5 out of 5 stars Great Service.......2007-02-12

My CD was delivered in a very timely manner and the product was in great shape upon arrival.

4 out of 5 stars A nice reminder of a very moving movie.......2007-01-12

Favorite songs are the ones by Ayub Ogada. I think it's wonderful that we found his music through this film.

3 out of 5 stars it captures the spirit of the movie.......2006-11-10

I like this soundtrack because it reminds me of the movie, which I loved. I am not sure I would appreciate it much if I hadn't seen the movie and didn't have pictures in my mind for each theme. It is redolent of Africa though and that in itself is satisfying.

5 out of 5 stars Sandy Stewart - great singer you never heard of!.......2007-07-03

excellent CD.. Sandy takes me back to those smoky night club singers..
what a treat.. she sings with such heart and pain and fun.. she is so sincere.. and son Bill Charlap.... a master at the piano..
what a dynamic duo! so glad i heard the interview on NPR.. I knew I had to own this CD.. I am wearing it out..

4 out of 5 stars Quality performances but constantly mellow.......2006-08-20

Although Bill Charlap and Sandy Stewart are consummate performers, I must agree with the review of Sharlan Douglas. Both mother and son compliment their artistry so skillfully but the tempo of each selection is ultimately and regretfully the same throughtout the entire album. Neither the superbly intimate phrasing of Sandy Stewart nor the tenderly responsive accompaniment of Bill Charlap sustained the interest of this listener. However, when my choice is limited to a few numbers, the combined talents of both vocalist and pianist are intoxicating as one's stimulating indulgence of a fine and delicate wine.

3 out of 5 stars Ultimately boring.......2006-01-14

I like Sandy Stewart's voice and phrasing -- she tells a good song story. Son Bill Charlap's accompaniment is delicate and spare. But every song has the same, slow tempo, the same vocal level and the same accompaniment. There's nothing uptempo, no crescendos, no drama.

4 out of 5 stars Copy Control, what a sound spoiler!.......2006-01-08

If it wasn't for the sound quality damaged by the copy control ("CC"), this would have been a truly wonderful recording of Bill Charlap accompanying his own mother, who gets really into singing love songs in front of her own beloved son.
Bill's recordings on Blue Note ("BN") label have been disappointing as compared to his much superior works with Venus Records in Japan, and this CD was going to be an exception. Well, almost. It's strange why his performances fluctuate between the two labels, even though he always record in his home town NYC.
The CC technology masks the transparency and spoils the listening pleasure, especially when listened on a higher-end audio system. I wish BN not only abandons the CC but also issue their latest recordings in CD/SACD hybrid format, provided that BN would never repeat what they did for Nora Jones' Come Away With Me SACD.

5 out of 5 stars Julie Andrews Youthful Rendering of "The Boy Friend".......2006-03-15

This is a very zesty, stylized production of the original import from England with a very young and fresh voiced Julie Andrews. Ms. Andrews, in her debut to Broadway, leads the way in this marvelously entertaining and delightfully campy "The Boy Friend". All the cast members join in with great infectious and sincer enthusiasm to insure that those of us "in the colonies" get two shot gun barrells full of satyrical musical comedy to which the British reign supreme. Unfortunately, this was made before DVDs were born, but one can almost clearly visualize the cast in their stylized costumes and flapper era postures belting out the tuneful score that will sweep you off of your feet. What a joy!!! The sound is suprisingly very good, so purchase and play this CD, put your feet up and ENJOY!

5 out of 5 stars Julie Andrews Makes IT.......2005-12-23

I just saw the Julie Andrews Production of The Boy Friend and she did a marvelous job. Polly was good but does not compare to Julie as Polly Brown. This CD is great with Julie in it. If she were not in it, it would have flopped.

5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for.......2005-09-25

We are looking at putting on The Boyfriend and this version is great musically, very accessible for young people. Bright and bubbly.

5 out of 5 stars The Boyfriend.......2005-08-27

If you love Julie Andrews and miss her wonderful voice, you will want this CD. This was the show that launched her career.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous Fun.......2005-07-31

This album is an accurate portrayal of the original Broadway experience. The music is light and fanciful and the songs fun and tuneful. I saw the show with Julie Andrews with my parents in 1954 and loved it. I was impressed with how well she can whistle! I just saw the show again last week at Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut where Julie Andrews is directing a new version that will be on tour, and was pleased to see that she kept the songs and dances the way they were done when the show was first presented. By the way, the rest of the original cast was also very talented, both singing and dancing, but it's difficult to appreciate them as much as they deserve just by listening to the CD.

Sandy Bull's 1965 LP Inventions remains one of those legendary albums that almost no one has heard. Its impact, however, can be scene in the title of this new compilation spotlighting a great unsung hero of "psychedelic folk." "Blend," the 22-minute opus from 1963 that opens this disc, surely fits that designation, perfectly blending folk, jazz, and Indian influences into what Bull called "new guitar raga." An eclectic virtuoso who switched from acoustic guitar to banjo to Stratocaster to oud (mostly backed solely by jazz drummer/Ornette Coleman crony Billy Higgins), Bull was all over the musical map. Thus the beautiful, soothing bossa nova of "Manha de Carnival" gives way to German classical music, which is supplanted by a cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis." The cream of Bull's first three albums can be found here. When those old records were in stores, it's a good bet Leo Kottke, Mark Knopfler, Richard Thompson, George Harrison, and Jerry Garcia were taking notes. --Bill Holdship

5 out of 5 stars Simply incredible - the ultimate groove music.......2006-07-20

In the early 80's I was a baker at a cafe in the San Juan Islands in Washington State. I was at work by 5 am to bake the croissants and this album was the early morning treat each day. The waitress had recorded this album on a cassette and we about wore the thing out. I had just started to play oldtime clawhammer banjo and was always attracted to the Indian Raga idiom...this album merged with rockabilly, classical, etc. thrown into the mix.

Sandy Bull is a master genre-twister, and a delight to behold! This album exemplifies the genesis of his astonishing musical journey and the absolute brilliance of both his and Vanguard's vision.

5 out of 5 stars ... revealing "essences" ..........2000-03-14

revealing essences of classic, soul chords and riffs of the 1960s post-Shankur, post-Beatles music

5 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Original.......1999-10-16

My old college roomie in New Haven had this album in the mid-sixties, and Sandy was just about the most incredible guitarist we'd ever heard (and both of us played). If you've never heard or heard of this guy, you are in for a special ride. The fabulous, magical cut of "Memphis" -- quietly ethereal, sliding back and forth like Chuck Berry off in some cloud dream -- has haunted me for over 35 years, and it alone is worth ten times the price of this album.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best of the Sixties.......1999-10-01

This is one I would choose if I could only have ten albums on a deserted isle. Bull was a true master of his instrument. It enjoyed cult status when I was in college in upstate New York in the sixties. A must have.

5 out of 5 stars Acoustic bliss.......1999-04-14

Every song on this CD is very diferent from the other but there is not a bad or boring one among them. There is something very unusual about the way Sandy Bull plays every instrument he picks up. I've never heard of this guy even though he's been around forever. Some of the recordings date back to the 60's but they don't sound dated at all. Re-Inventions would be right at the top of my list of desert island disks.

5 out of 5 stars $139.99? Well maybe it's worth it!.......2005-03-20

Will someone tell me why Vangard has not released this in CD? This is one of the most interesting albums I have ever heard. As background music, or better yet just turn off the lights and lay on the couch, and turn it up. Just mesmerizing.
How do we go about getting this to the people? Write your congressman, write Vangard...or pay $139.99 for a used one.

5 out of 5 stars gone but not forgotten.......2001-10-26

like other great artists and creative people in the 60s-70s, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Buckley... Sandy Bull passed on. But anyone listening to his recordings will never forget or confuse him with any other guitarist. It's not just a 60s record, it's an inspirational record. If you play or enjoy really good guitar, get this.

5 out of 5 stars I've never fogotten this ablum.........2001-03-26

Whenever the talk turns to "GREAT ARTISTS, WORLD SHAKERS...HEARD NO MORE". My first thought is always "what the hey happened to Sandy Bull."

5 out of 5 stars Bring Back Sandy Bull Rhythmic Flow Master.......2000-05-20

Its nearly 30 years since I first heard this album and I still quote it as my all-time favourite music. All the world music fans who are band-wagoning on cross-cultural sounds should listen to this historically pioneering artist who blended North African and Middle Eastern textures within a western context into our experience, regrettably the experience of a small few, but hopefully a wider community of listeners to come. Not only important historically, but musically: a wide range of music genres over the last couple of decades have worked with drone-note principles and it is an increasingly common device, but Sandy Bull was/is a superlative master of utilising the drone sounds;understated but effective in creating sounds that vibrate and resonate within ones being in mesmeric meditative flow. Flow I think is an essential description of this album, for it is not an inane lift-lobby new age meditative music, and neither anything jarring, it is fluid and flowing, like a perfect wave unwinding along a perfect point. And the perfection of the music lies in the way it allows you like a surfer to find your own flowing journey along this mesmeric but spaciously unfolding wave. I still have the LP but am seeking the cd,please! p.rorvik@saol.com

5 out of 5 stars amazing music, especially for its time.......1999-10-16

I kept this album for years until it almost wore out, taped it, held onto the precious tape...you get the idea. It amazed me to see him listed on this website. It sure would be SWELL if it could be reissued as a CD!!! It would be even sweller if he'd record something new!

5 out of 5 stars A calming voice ..........2007-01-29

Sandy's "Deep Relaxation" CD is the first thing I listen to after a long, stressful day at work. Her calming voice, coupled with the relaxing music, helps ground me when I'm feeling lost, upset, or uneasy. I strongly encourage anyone who is looking for a healthy way to unwind or in need of a calming influence in his/her life to listen to this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2007-01-09

Deep Relaxation is the perfect way to wind down after a busy or stressful day. The music and guidance by Sandy McDermott helps you relax all your muscles, and alleviate aches or pains in your body. I find listening to this CD after a day of working at the computer or after traveling most helpful to ease tension and relax my body. I highly recommend this CD.


5 out of 5 stars stressed out.......2007-01-06

I was getting all stressed out for an MRI scan, as I'm a bit claustrophobic. However, we put Sandy's cd on during the scan, and I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep! Thank you Sandy, for getting me through a difficult situation!

Sandy's voice if very soothing and calming. I can highly recommend this cd for anyone who needs to relax during a stressful situation, or just wind down at the end of a stressful day. If you're having difficulty sleeping at night--this will do the trick!

5 out of 5 stars Classic Australian album.......2007-07-18

The whole original album is superb but the bonus tracks don't really add anything. Very raw production and some of the song are pretty ordinary as well.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Songs, Awesome Album -Buy this and you'll love it! .......2006-08-23

In 1986 people's view of Australian music changed forever. The Triffids led this change by showing the rest of the world that Aussie songwriting and musicianship was something to be reckoned with.

Born Sandy Devotional (BSD) is an essential piece of any music fan's collection. Whether you like rock, country, folk, pop, rap or classical, you will appreciate the songs written by David McComb and performed by The Triffids. The band's fans, know as "TriffHeads", are rabidly devoted to spreading the word about the Triffids and trying to help them reach new fans, especially in America, a country they were not able to break. BSD is considered by most TriffHeads to be their defining album.

It is hard to classify The Triffids. I would say somewhere between Johnny Cash and the Rolling Stones - yet, on their own plain as well. For instance the first song doesn't have a jingley-jangley guitar intro or a swelling build up to the first line. Boom, instant. The Seabirds hits like a big fat thick drop of honey upon your eardrum. As the album rolls on, the honey spreads and sinks in to your brain and then down your spine through your bones and blood. And there it stays. In fact, honey is a good metaphor for this music. Honey is sweet, nutritious, universally loved and can even heal wounds when applied to the skin. We know it is produced by bees but not sure how it is made or how the bees all work together in order to get their sweet product.

The musicianship is phenomenal. This is a band that listens to each other when they play. The many layers stretch and pull and touch and mingle in a way that keeps the music fresh through endless listenings. The band is known not just for their musical abilities but the way they interpret and produce David's songs. These songs are wired into the band member's brains and played from the heart. David McComb sings, plays guitar and keyboards, 'Evil' Graham Lee plays pedal, lap steel and shoulder guitars, Martyn Casey is on bass, Jill Birt sings and plays keyboards, David's brother Robert McComb plays violin and guitar and Alsy MacDonald plays drums.

Another reason to own BSD is that David McComb is arguable one of the greatest songwriters of all time. And I am including Mozart on this list. David was born to write and write he did prolifically for his short 36 years here on Earth. Like any highly regarded artist, his songs come from inside out. His lyrics are quotable and sticky. If you listen enough to The Triffids, you will have an insightful and philosophical comment for every occasion - just don't say it in front of another TriffHead because they will know you are just repeating one of David's lyrics:

"I know your shape
Our limbs entwined
I know your name, remember mine"
from Estuary Bed

I give this album the highest rating and it is my favorite of all time.

(The 2006 re-mastered version includes 9 bonus tracks and a booklet of David's hand written lyrics)

5 out of 5 stars Yesterday's Best - Today's Sounds.......2000-03-13

When I saw this collection on CD I had to get it! My mother had the record when I was a kid - I grew up on these classic tunes: "The Boy I Love" is a classic tale or a trusting woman done wrong; "I Take It Back", is a catchy tale of a woman not happy w/a great guy, but also unable to tell him farewell, "Take Me With You Baby" is a plea to be a part of her man's life - these 14 tunes are a must for any avid music fan! This CD should be on Rolling Stones list of 100 Must Have CDs!

5 out of 5 stars Best of Sandy Posey.......1999-12-30

To all you ladies out there, Born A Woman fits all of us. Sandy really hits the spot when she sings this song. For all you single ladies, listen to Single Girl. This CD really brings back memories. I know you will all enjoy this CD. Give it a shot.

3 out of 5 stars Good Girl Done Wrong.......1998-10-29

In true Sandy Posey style, the listener is drawn into the sad world of a single girl or a woman in the 60's who loves her man, serves him and keeps on going.

Whether you're listening to the hard life in being "Born a Woman", or about being the subject of gossip in "The Boy I Love" you can't help but be thankful that women have evolved to where being a "Single Girl" is not the hardship it was thirty years ago. This woman can sing and you really believe her when she says she was "Shattered". Don't listen to this CD if you are having a blue day!
