Customer Reviews:
Champagne Music!.......2006-07-09
Thank goodness that these well filled CDs of selections from three of Offenbach's most entertaining and tuneful operettas are available. Exactly the thing to provide some hearty nourishment for Winter nights. Ideal also for a Summer barbecue. In both cases, a glass of champagne, or at least some other bubbly beverage, would be good to have at hand - everything here no doubt will call for a toast or several.
It is so nice to be able to hear in these translations the witty words, sung with welcome clarity and meaning by these admirable artists. As I recall, there were no microphones in sight, and perhaps not even used, when this production of Orpheus In The Underworld was brought to Australia, with a few cast changes but the same sparkle as shown here. Crisp diction and lively, often lovely, singing - a great recipe for enjoyable listening indeed.
The recording sounds a bit shrill here and there, but what a churlish quibble; to Hades with such curmudgeonly qualifications! This is music to raise the spirits, and not just those from Hades.

His Best '60's Album.......2005-08-10
It's true. Not all the tracks are original songs, but enough of them are and I'd say about six are really, really good. I've known them all my life and I love them. Just great mid-'sixties Stevie that you haven't heard anywhere else before, not even on compilation albums.
I also love his renditions of 'Respect' and 'Can I Get A Witness', they both have a grooviness and originality of their own.
If you really like Stevie's mid-'60s sound, don't hesitate tracking this album down.
It's a real finger clicker.
'Everytime I See You I Go Wild' is wild and fabulous!
'I'd Cry' is divine. There's a wonderful irony to the way he sang sad songs in a fast uptempo way.
'Everybody Needs Somebody' has a wonderful, melodic, understated soulfulness.
Actually, the only song I've grown tired of is the title track and yes, there are a few fillers/duds that you'll want to skip, but the good far outweighs the bad.
He was very proud of this compilation when it came out and he was right to be.
Stevie Wonder Redux.......2005-04-05
The merchants who are selling this disc for over $60.00 might want to rethink their decision. Motown/Japan has reissued this title and several others from the Stevie Wonder catalog and they can be had for around $25.00 or a little more. Used copies are sure to make their way into the States and they will be snapped up for a lot less. I've got a feeling merchants trying to sell Motown discs for premium prices had better unload them while they still can. Motown/UK and Motown/Japan is in the midst of an extensive reissue campaign.
needs more original material.......2004-11-26
after 1966's "down to earth" album failed to capture the public's attention it did have more original tunes on it
featuring 'a place in the sun'/'down to earth'/'thank you love'/
'be cool,be calm(and keep yourself together)'/'sylvia'/'angel
baby'/'hey love'...but stevie's 1967 album "i was made to love
her"was a disapointment because it lacked original material.this
is strange considering the massive amount of original songs that was left in the can by motown chairman berry gordy.there is no doubt that stevie's smash hit single 'i was made to love her' was 2 minutes and 35 seconds of pure attack and it left no doubt that it would cement stevie 4 good within the motown hit factory.but the album itself is a hodgepodge of motown remakes
and remakes of other artists songs.the other three remaining
originals on this album are:'i'd cry' the funky 'everybody needs somebody (i need you)'and the dramatic 'every time i see you
i go wild'.../here's a list of original songs by stevie that was recorded in 1967 that should have been on this album instead of those remakes:'travelin' man'/'until you come back to me(that's what i'm gonna do)'and 'i'm wondering'...now had these songs been included in this album,the album would be more original and stronger than those filler remakes which is the reason why i would grant this album only 2 stars."i was made to love her" would be a by far better album had these original songs been included on it....
This Should Have Been Different.......2004-07-23
The title cut-AWSOME CLASSIC.The album closer "Every Time I
See You I Go Wild"-ANOTHER AWSOME CLASSIC!But in between Stevie
just covers other people's songs,and again the prominant Ray Charlesploitation is unforgivable.But add the pluses and minuses and you'll probably decide this album's place in your
collection is really a choice of want and need.Probably best for
the Wonder completist.
The Genius Returns.......2004-06-25
In 1967, Stevie Wonder reached another peak with his seminal "I Was Made To Love Her". His best original 45 since 1965's "Uptight", gave him a permanent residence in the Motown family. (He was almost dropped from the label before "Uptight" was released.) The problem with this album is the lack of original material--there are no songs that come close to the groove that the title track laid down. Instead, the listener is met with half-hearted run-throughs of Motown covers of Marvin Gaye's Baby Don't You Do It and the Temptations' My Girl. As if that weren't enough, James Brown's Please, Please, Please is nearly massacred by the Motown "symphony" production throwing the track completely out of place. When better songs were left in the can (i.e. "Until You Come Back To Me", "Can You Feel It" and "Why Don't You Lead Me To Love"), it seems to me with a little digging this could have been a much better album. It seems Mr. Gordy just wasn't ready to trust Stevie at this time to let him record his own compositions. That said, the album does have its merits. Wonder covers Bobby Bland's "I Pity The Fool" with feeling and conviction giving it a stellar performance backed up by The Andontes and The Originals (?). He also gave the late Ray Charles a run for his money on "A Fool For You" with The Andontes singing some nice Supreme-esque oohs. Another blues tune recorded at the time was "Why Don't You Lead Me To Love". Would to heaven they would have included this one on the original LP! It later appeared as a single-only release on the flip of "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day" and is the closest Stevie came to Gospel. Originals? "Everytime I See You I Go Wild" is pleasantly odd and "I'd Cry" is a ballad done at break-neck speed obviously left over from the "Down To Earth" sessions. All-in-all, it's a hodgepodge, but what's good is well worth the bucks. Two stars may be a little low, but for it's no reflection on the artist. Stevie can't make a bad record, ok? It's just that in this period, some were better than others.
