The Ronneted.......2007-06-28

When is the rest of my ordercoming?? I ordered the Ronnetes in May and you still have not even shipped it!!!

The Crystals are sweet and clear.......2007-06-16

This Crystals CD is a must have. The songs are so sweet. Uptown is very nice to hear. The one I love to hear is "Look in my eyes" alot. I was almost 16 when I first heard it on the radio in late 1991. It is so sweet. "Oh, Yeah, Maybe, Baby" is also sweet too. I would add the Crystals into the archives. You won't find no other one.

If You Love Girl Groups.......2007-05-02

The Crystals are among the American girl groups that made it big during the early 1960's, the golden age of girl groups and Brill Building songsters. They had some big hits, "He's A Rebel," "He's Sure The Boy I Love," "Then He Kissed Me," and "Da Doo Ron Ron," all penned by those famous tenants in Broadway's Brill Building: Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Doc Pomus, Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, even Neil Sedaka. And, for sure, the legendarily bizarre composer/producer/impresario himself, Phil Spector. The man who invented the "wall of sound;" who created "little symphonies for the kids," as he loved to call them. The man who's now hitting the front pages of your newpaper, for reasons that have nothing to do with music.

The Crystals were, in fact, one of Spector's groups, signed to him at his celebrated Hollywood Gold Star Studios, where a lot of awesome music got made. His studio musicians included Leon Russell on piano/keyboard, Sonny Bono on percussion, and Glen Campbell and Billy Strange on guitar. The Crystals, however, were Spector's secondary girl group, of less interest to him than were the Ronettes: well, he was going to marry Ronnie. (And if you read your newspaper, and you've read Ronnie's book, "Be My Baby," or any of the numerous interviews she's given over the years, you'll know that marriage wasn't too successful.)

Anyway, the Crystals had their big hits. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to know who the Crystals are, or maybe were. If the actual original Crystals, lead singer Barbara Alston were on the road, and Spector was anxious to record something, he just did, with whoever was on hand, and just attributed the record to the group. In her book, "My Name is Love: The Darlene Love Story," Love, possessor of a big, rich, dynamic voice says she sang lead on "He's A Rebel," "He's Sure the Boy I Love," and "Da Doo Ron Ron." She adds that, among others, Sonny and Cher, then also under contract to Spector, sang back-up on these songs, and that, way back at the outset of her career, Cher's voice was so big, Spector had to keep her in the back of the room, away from the microphones. A few years ago, before I'd looked into all of this confusion, I saw "the Crystals" in person, and didn't understand why some of my favorite songs sounded nothing like the records. So now we know.

Personnel problems aside, these are intense, emotionally satisfying, pulsing songs as Love did them, and these are the versions you get on this album. The actual Crystals also did good work on the socially-conscious "Uptown," "There's No Other Like My Baby," and "Oh Yeah, Maybe Baby:" those girls could rock. These songs and their other smaller hits are collected here. This album's sound isn't the best: Phil Spector famously preferred mono. But it's hard to find the Crystals now --whoever they were-- and this album is available. If you love girl groups, it belongs on the shelf.

The Best of the Girls.......2006-03-11

Simply amazing. I had forgotten how good this group was: the Wall of Sound never sounded better than with them. The shame is that the Supremes got much more notice; I suppose because they weren't perceived as being as 'black' as the Crystals. This is one of my very favorite cd's.

I wish it were re-mastered better, but still, this is a perfect trip into the past.

Best available Crystals collection.......2005-10-01

In a perfect world the three albums the Crystals made for Phil Spector and the four extra A-sides would all be available on CD. They would probably all fit onto one disc, as the second album, He's A Rebel, was a disguised re-issue of the first, Uptown Twist, but with three new tracks replacing two; while the third, The Crystals Sing Their Greatest Hits (Vol. 1), recycled yet again some of their older hits, as you would expect, but added five previously unreleased covers of recent dance hits including the Chantels' Look In My Eyes.

Instead we have the next best thing, The Best Of The Crystals, compiled by Phil Spector in 1992, which collects the A-sides and B-sides they recorded for Philles Records, beginning with the dreamy There's No Other Like My Baby and the socially conscious second single Uptown, and adds 3 album tracks and 2 tracks unreleased at the time. It includes the original version of I Wonder (later recorded by the Ronettes), which was a single only in the UK, coupled with Little Boy, but unfortunately excludes the withdrawn two-part single (Let's Dance) The Screw.

It was through the Crystals, initially led by Barbara Alston, that Spector made his mark and created the famous Wall Of Sound, when He's A Rebel hit number 1 in America. Ironically, none of the Crystals sang on their first big hit, as the Gene Pitney song was recorded in haste in Hollywood to beat a rival version by Vikki Carr, and none of the Crystals was able to fly from New York for the sessions. Instead a session group led by the unknown Darlene Love (then Darlene Wright) and called the Blossoms were hired to be the Crystals for a day, and they soon became Spector regulars. Indeed Darlene Love also sang lead on the Crystals' follow-up, He's Sure The Boy I Love, and at the same time was enlisted into Bob B Soxx and the Blue Jeans. She also led on the next single, Da Doo Ron Ron, although on that one Spector had La La Brooks from the Crystals overdub the lead vocal before it came out, and watched it became a Top Three hit.

La La sang lead instead of Barbara or Darlene from then on, including the next released singles Then He Kissed Me and Little Boy, but by this time Phil Spector was already losing interest in the Crystals and was developing his unique sound further with the Ronettes featuring Veronica, who was even drafted in to sing lead on some of the third Crystals album.

These recordings show not only their own and Phil Spector's development, but also that of the Brill Building writers that Spector drew from: Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and not forgetting Gerry Goffin and Carole King whose He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss) and Please Hurt Me might suggest some turbulence in their personal lives at the time. He Hit Me was a controversial song, allegedly inspired by the experiences of their baby-sitter, Little Eva, for whom they wrote The Loco-Motion. It was revived more recently by Hole.

Their last single for Philles was All Grown Up, basically a Spectorized rewrite of Chuck Berry's Almost Grown. It was one of their best but barely scraped the Top 100 in America. The Crystals left the label shortly thereafter for United Artists and all but disappeared from history, leaving behind these wonderful and essential classic recordings from a key period in pop history

Avant intensity and groove.......2004-07-18

After hearing this album, I'm surprised I never heard more about it beforehand. As far as I am concerned, it's a forgotten peak in avant garde jazz. To put it in a larger context, I'd bet that William Parker loves this album, as I really feel like it must have been a major factor in the inspiration of Parker's Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra. I mean that as a compliment to both Rivers and Parker.

This may sound odd but I don't know the names of any of these tunes. I put the disc in and that's it. Track 1 has some absolutely ruthless bass playing and more of those moments that make me believe Rivers was a major inspiration for Evan Parker's soprano saxophone experiments. The context around Rivers here is much more "free jazz"-styled than the utterly weird and gorgeous free-improvisation contexts that Evan so often is in, but still.... Sam's own playing on track one is a fireball of soprano intensity that seems to point the way towards some of the places Evan's playing would later evolve. Fantastic stuff.

I won't comment on every track, as that must be annoying to readers, but I have to talk about track two. Every time I listen to this one I picture Pam Grier ala 1974 putting her shirt back on, then surprising the guy she is with by kicking his teeth in. The bassline here is just pure acoustic Blaxploitation funk at its best. Rivers is not content with staying there, though. As the song progresses, the rhythmically shifting horns tug my attention away from the bassline and a whole other mood seems to overtake the song, and then somehow you morph back into the Blaxploitation funk. I love the way my mood changes throughout the various points in this track.

If you're looking to enter the world of Sam Rivers, this and the masterpiece, Fuchsia Swing Song, are great places to start. Both completely unlike each other, but both very rewarding.

Seminal big band recording from an unsung master........2004-05-16

Long before Sam Rivers' late 1990s big band albums, Inspiration and Culmination were nominated for Grammys, there was Crystals, from 1974. Although Crystals is Rivers' earliest foray into large-scale ensemble writing, it is by no means an embryonic effort.

Recorded in the halcyon days of the loft-jazz scene, Crystals is a somewhat more accessible affair than one would expect. In the experimental big band tradition of Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton and Sun Ra, Sam Rivers' first big band album makes a fine contribution to this often under-sung genre.

The opening cut, "Exultation" lives up to its title. Horn lines weave around each other as River's soprano snakes through them, never flagging in intensity. "Tranquility" follows, with a funky acoustic bass and tuba ostinato leading the ensemble into a mid-tempo groove. "Postlude" is a short interlude that leads into the albums second side, starting with "Bursts," a scorching free-bop feature for River's furious tenor. The march-like collective improvisation "Orb" takes the energy level down just a notch to prepare for the climactic closer, "Earth Song".

Embracing the discordant linear quality of Muhal Abrams writing, albeit less rigid, more swinging and occasionally even funky, Rivers big band compositions are more accessible than Braxton's but further out than anything Mingus had attempted at the time. While Crystals may be the blueprint for his more recent big band albums, it is more than just a historical curiosity. Not for the faint of heart, Crystals is creative orchestral music at it's most challenging and rewarding.

review.......2003-11-18

This is the consummate Rivers big band recording ranging from "out" funk to freeform. Not for the faint-hearted however.

Greatest hits and rarities.......2006-07-27

The historic recordings that Phil Spector produced in the sixties have been sadly neglected by the CD format. Only one or two albums such as River Deep Mountain High and A Christmas Gift For You are available in full, and even compilations are thin on the ground. Darlene Love, the Ronettes and the Crystals had "Best Ofs" released through Phil Spector Inc./ABKCO in the early 1990s, but putting aside any considerations about the mastering quality, they were far from comprehensive, and many other Philles artists are not represented on CD at all.

In a perfect world the three albums the Crystals made for Phil Spector and the four extra A-sides would all be available on CD. They would all fit onto one disc as the second album, He's A Rebel, was a disguised re-issue of Uptown Twist, the first, but with three new tracks replacing two from the first; while the third, The Crystals Sing Their Greatest Hits (Vol. 1), recycled yet again some of their older hits, as you would expect, but added five previously unreleased covers of recent dance hits, including an excellent version of the Chantels' Look In My Eyes.

The Best Of The Crystals, compiled by Phil Spector in 1992, is still the best generally available Crystals anthology, but this 29-track compilation on the hard to find Belgian Marginal label from five years later has every track that was on The Best Of The Crystals and a further ten tracks. The monaural sound is generally crisper and clearer than on the Best Of, though there are still some shortcomings, and some of the tracks have been slightly shortened, notably I Wonder, which loses nearly ten seconds.

Lead vocal duties are shared between Barbara Alston, La La Brooks, Pat Wright (on Oh Yeah Maybe Baby) and guest singers Darlene Love and the incomparable Ronnie Spector (on Mashed Potato Time).

The ten additional tracks include their three contrbutions to A Christmas Gift For You. Frankenstein Twist and On Broadway appeared on both Uptown Twist and He's A Rebel. On Broadway is especially interesting as it was the first recorded version of the song and had some lyric revisions before it was recorded by the Cookies and, most famously, the Drifters. The infamous (Let's Dance) The Screw has never been on CD before. It appeared only on DJ copies of the single before being withdrawn, and shortly afterwards Da Doo Ron Ron was released. The single consisted of Parts 1 and 2 and the version here clocks in at 4.32.

The other three tracks appear to date from after their tenure at Philles and were not produced by Phil Spector. Are You Trying To Get Rid Of Me Baby? was their second single for United Artists in 1966, and was an early Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson song that had been recorded the year before by Candy and the Kisses. In The Morning and a cover of the Shirelles' When The Right Boy Comes Along sound more recent and have previously appeared on the EMI America label but I have no more information about them. All three clearly feature the wonderful vocals of La La Brooks.

Unfortunately this leaves just one track from Twist Uptown unavailable, their version of Carla Thomas's Gee Whiz (Look At His Eyes), though the second album, He's A Rebel, can be re-created by programming tracks 1, 3, 19, 17, 2, 5, 10, 22, 13, 14, 12 and 15.

The Crystals Sing Their Greatest Hits (Vol. 1) is missing Hot Pastrami, The Wah Watusi, The Twist and Gee Whiz. It is a pity room could not have been found for these four tracks, perhaps instead of the Christmas Gift tracks (as that album is readily available in its own right) or the non-Spector recordings, thus making all releases from their contemporary Philles catalogue available on CD.

Also, a few unreleased Crystals recordings surfaced on vinyl in the seventies. Of these only Heartbreaker, which was also on The Best Of The Crystals, is included. It would have been nice to also have the alternative version of All Grown Up, and the version of Girls Can Tell with Ronnie Spector (Veronica) singing lead.

However, Marginal Records have shown that is possible to license Spector productions from ABKCO, giving hope that other overdue re-releases may one day appear.

This is a super sounding cd that contains all their hits and some lessor known tracks in super stereo sound.......2006-04-05

The Crystals ultimate collection offers super stereo sound.The album includes their top ten hits and some lessor known gems The album contains 28 tracks and is well worth the money.I guess you can tell i love the music!!! This album is a must have for your oldies collection,And the crystals shine as one of the best girl groups out there!!!! Enjoy,from Stewart L.

This CD/DVD set fit the niche I was looking for. While entertaining I love having music playing softly in the background, however, with a big flat screen plasma TV hanging on the wall I wanted video to go with the music. I've found videos and played them sound off while the music played on the stereo. This product does both. I love having the perfect pictures, in this case, winter playing with the perfect music. No people in the video to distract and the music works well with the occasions I've used it. Creating the ambience I desire. I am looking forward to finding and using others in the Elements series.

I am so disappointed that I paid money for this cd. I'm even more disappointed that I didn't read the reviews before buying it. I agree with the previous comment about the Michael Jackson impersonator though.

Placebo.......2007-02-01

I was expecting the original hits by this group on this CD, someone is ripping the public off with a remake of the Crystals hit songs. I never heard Darlene Love in any of the songs, and whoever sang lead on "One fine day" sounds like a Michael Jackson impersonator. I want my money back after waiting 6 weeks to this trash.

The are remakes by some members of the original group. The quality is not bad, but these are not the original hits.

You know the classical compilation business is getting serious when you have artists like conductor Andrew Litton and the Dallas Symphony on a record of music for little kids to play dress-ups by. On this disc, packaged explicitly for that purpose, participants include the Seattle Symphony, the English Chamber Orchestra, and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Nothing but the best for my kid! The selections were apparently chosen by a girl, pictured on the cover, who looks to be about five or six. She's done a great job. There's lots of Tchaikovsky here, as well as Grieg, Gliere, and Prokofiev. It's great music and the disc, with its cheerful cover, will likely bring a smile to the lips of many adults as well as children. --Gwendolyn Freed

Album Description

Philadelphia's Bardo Pond return in June 2006 with Ticket Crystals -- their sixth studio album and second for ATP Recordings. Completing a trilogy of work -- first embarked on with 2001's Dilate and centred with 2003's On the Ellipse -- Ticket Crystals resumes the quintet's signature doom tempo, multi-layered drones; while introducing a lighter pastoral, even Tudor-like feel, which rallies throughout against the band's youthful riff petulance. Guitarist and founder member, Michael Gibbons, elaborates: 'On The Ellipse was really influenced by the post 9/11 vibe, this one is the coming out of that... On this album we really investigated the dynamics between acoustic sound and heavy electrics.' Recorded over two years at the band's home studio, a handful of the tracks first came to light on Bardo Pond's 2003 live UK dates alongside kindred spirits and former label mates, Mogwai. 'Yeah, most of the time we go out on the road before we record to get comfortable with the tracks,' remarks Gibbons. Fans of the space rock pioneers may already be familiar with much of the new material owing to the band's well-publicised endorsement of bootleg recordings. Tracking down the elusive balance between extensive improvisation and acutely structured arrangements, Bardo Pond's latest long-player, Ticket Crystals, includes the spellbinding 'Moonshine' (a ten-minute plus ethereal expedition that immediately recalls the acoustic intricacy of Led Zeppelin III coupled with the contemporary quirkiness of Coco Rosie) and live favourite and album opener, 'Destroying Angel,' which only just manages to contain the sheer force of the brothers Gibbons amplification and vocalist and flautist Isobel Sollenberger's haunting and occasionally terrifying tones. Also featured on the album is the band's unique reworking of The Beatles' White Album classic, 'Cry Baby Cry,' which was originally recorded for and broadcast by the BBC as part of their commemorations of the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death.

A revelation.......2006-09-01

A friend turned me on to Bardo Pond recently through Ticket Crystals and they have been a revelation. For me they mix the immediacy of the Breeders with great trippy wanderings. I was not surprised to hear that they where a Knitting Factory regular and you can hear the wonderful improvisation in their songs. They have been around a while, but Ticket Crystals is a great introduction, somewhat more accessible melodic that their earlier work. It is on the top of my play list and I would expect them to find more commercial success if they stay on this tack.

Beautiful music.......2006-02-01

I love this CD! My fellow healers and I play it while doing Reiki but I have also enjoyed it while meditating. I loved reading about each crystal for which a piece was written and hope to do a more focused crystal meditation. The CD is a welcome addition to my collection of healing music.

Wonderful, relaxing, celestial, ethereal music.......2003-08-22

As a Reiki Practitioner and Ethereal Crystal Therapist, this music moved me like no other! It sweeps you away and brings you to a state of complete calmness. It's wonderful for Reiki sessions, though you don't have to be an energy healer to appreciate the beauty this music brings. Each piece resonates with the corresponding crystal which makes it more beautiful and brings a knowing smile to my face. I only have one question - can Llewellyn & Ann Clinton make a "Crystals II"?

Great for Reiki.......2003-07-19

As a Reiki practitioner, I use the Crystals: Mind, Body, and Soul Series for many Reiki sessions. I find the music to be both relaxing and powerful. Along with Reiki, the music is great for crystal healing. With crystals, the music is very effective in removing blockages and distortions from the energy fields. But you don't have to practice Reiki to enjoy this cd. It's great for relaxation and meditation. The music contains gentle bells, chimes, crystals, keyboard, and nature sounds. It's also a great cd to fall asleep to. I give it a 5 star rating!

Llewellyn studies very closely what sounds heal, & it how well it really works is like magic. This is perfect music to prepare for meditative states.

I am a massage therapist and I discoved this cd while getting a massage myself. It is very healing music. This is a CD I could listen to again and again. It is composed in such a way that it calms, balances and energizes you all at the same time. It's a must buy, I am getting one for my bussiness and home.
