Amazon.com Music Reviews
The queen of disco--known now for her fundamental conservatism but then known for her extended sex romps that pulsated as minutes turned to hours--Donna Summer recorded a series of hits that playfully courted decadence and consistent chart success. The versions here are the shorter 7" versions. So if looking for the full 16-minute version of "Love to Love You Baby," look elsewhere. But what is here is '70s disco at its peak: "Hot Stuff," "Bad Girls," "Last Dance," "On the Radio," "I Feel Love." The kind of stuff that makes weddings and frat parties what they are. --Rob O'Connor

Good Starter for your Disco/Dance Collection.......2007-03-13
From album, to cassette, to cd and beyond, this is one collection of hits I always want available for listening. Beyond all the other reviews, you must remember that disco still exists today, but it called dance. Donna Summer has influenced so many different artists, in all genres. If you don't know much about Donna Summer, this is a good starter collection.
Donna Summer: ON THE RADIO: GREATEST HITS VOLUMES I & II (1979).......2006-11-16
In October of 1979, Donna Summer released her ninth album entitled, ON THE RADIO: GREATEST HITS VOLUMES I & II. This album is to be first-ever greatest hits compilation, as well as being her last album of the 1970s. This is a great album, featuring fourteen of Donna's greatest hits, as well as a new studio track.
ON THE RADIO
New song. From the original motion picture, FOXES (1979). The first & final single from the album. This is an awesome song, and I pretty much tear up the dance floor when this song is played at parties.
LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY
From the album LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (1975). Great song.
TRY ME, I KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT
From the album A LOVE TRILOGY (1976). Great song.
I FEEL LOVE
From the album I REMEMBER YESTERDAY (1977). Another classic.
OUR LOVE
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Classic.
I REMEMBER YESTERDAY
From the album I REMEMBER YESTERDAY (1977). Great.
I LOVE YOU
From the album ONCE UPON A TIME... (1978). Classic.
HEAVEN KNOWS
From the single HEAVEN KNOWS (1978). This song has finally made it's debut on a Donna Summer album, where back in 1978, the song was released as a single, and was never on a Donna Summer album...well, on its own, with not having to be in the "MacArthur Park Suite". This is a classic song.
LAST DANCE
From the original motion picture & motion picture soundtrack THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY (1978). Classic song that is always played as the last song at parties.
MacARTHUR PARK
Original version from the single MacARTHUR PARK (1978). This here is the radio version of Donna Summer's classic 1978 cover. When the song was released in 1978 as a single, the song ran over 8:30 (eight and a half minutes). That full-length eight and a half minute version has even started off "MacArthur Park" suite. Towards the end of the song, the track flowed into "One Of A Kind". After "One Of A Kind", the track flowed into a slightly mixed version of "Heaven Knows" (where the song was not in its entirety). After "Heaven Knows", the track slipped in to the reprise of "MacArthur Park". The reprise consisted of only one chorus, and that chorus was picked from this hear radio version. I don't care which version of this song I hear: The full-length version, the medley, or this radio version, I cannot get on with my day if I do not listen to this song.
HOT STUFF
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Great song, but I like to hear either the album version (5 minutes and 15 seconds) or the 12" Single version (6 minutes 45 seconds). But still a great song.
BAD GIRLS
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Classic song, talking about woman who "Work on 42nd Street" or "Hollywood Boulevard", if you know what I mean.
DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Classic.
SUNSET PEOPLE
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Classic.
NO MORE TEARS (ENOUGH IS ENOUGH) (performed by Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer) (Extended 12" Version)
Original version from Barbra Streisand's album WET (1979). This is a classic Diva duet between Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer. Right after Donna Summer released BAD GIRLS, Barbra Streisand began working on her album entitled, WET, a concept album describing Water in different variations. When Barbra and Donna hooked up for this duet, the title of the song was only called "Enough Is Enough", and the ballad introduction did not exist. When it came down to choosing what song will go on to the album, the producers did not want the duet between Barbra and Donna on the album, for the title did not fit in with the "Water" concept. Barbra, however, wanted the duet on the album, and she meant to have it that way. So she changed the title to "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", and decided to add on the ballad introduction, where both she and Donna are saying "It's raining, it's pouring", and so forth. The finalized track that is now featured on Barbra Streisand's 1979 album runs to eight minutes and twenty-two seconds, but the single/radio version only runs to four minutes and forty-three seconds, not giving the single any justice. When Donna put this album togetehr, she decided to use the three minute, twenty-two second version, but she also decided to add on another Three minutes and twenty-one seconds, making it run to a full eleven minutes and forty-three seconds. Not only did she add the 3+ minutes, she even added a Disco mix to it, making the song even...dancier. Great song.
ON THE RADIO (Long Version)
While the album/single/radio version runs only four minutes long, this here long version runs to five minutes and fifty seconds, just one minute and fifty seconds longer than that of the original version. What makes this one longer is the extended instrumental bridge, as well as having a hidden third verse that plays right after the instrumental bridge, where Donna sings it in a ballad passage, just like the first verse. Great way to end the album.
This is another one of Donna Summer's greatest albums, featuring nothing, but the very best of Donna Summer's greatest hits of the '70s. This is a great album that should most definitely be owned already by every single Donna Summer fan around the world.
Recapping The 70's, "On The Radio" .......2006-10-03
Yes, since this double album first made it's debut there have been many more complilations of Donna's to follow (as well as more Top 10 Hits and Hit Dance Tracks), but On The Radio is the original*, and it was (and is) a geat way to cap Donna's reign at the top of the charts.
This was not standard Greatest Hits packages, the tracks were remixed and they flow int one another in the same way that her Once Upon A Time, and Bad Girls albums were structured (see my reviews).
This collection takes us from her first USA hit, Love to Love You Baby, and takes us to what would become her 8th Top Ten Pop Hit in a row, On The Radio. The tracks here are the single edits, save for the 2 new tracks, that featured their full length versions.
Needless to say the impact of No More Tears (Enough is Enough) was immediate. Donna was the hottest star at the time, and Barbra Striesand was already a legend. This legendary track should have paved the way for more high energy duets, but alas most duets (from all artists) in the 80's wound up being same ol' same ol' ballads. The late Paul Jabara co-wrote this classic, and if anyone could have gotten these two Diva's together
it was Paul. "Rumor has it" that this was the only song that Jason Gould every liked of his Mom's.
On The Radio, the other new track here became a mega hit in it's own right, it hit number 5 on the charts in march of 1980, reaching only to number 5, no doubt as to most of us On The Radio was a hit back in December of '79 when this album was first released.
On The Radio celebrated Donna's rise to the top, and her position today as a musical icon.
An interesting footnote on this album is track 5, Our Love, this song, a track from Bad Girls, was never a single, and it out of step being placed with her other early singles. I often wonder if Could it Be Magic was supposed to be here, and Casablanca could not get the song rights to include it here. Could It be Magic, a hit from 1976, would appear on the later hits package, Endless Summer.
Ken
PS *yes, i know there was an earlier Donna Summer, Greatest Hits package, but that was a european release.
So what if they're not "album length"???.......2006-06-19
Rarely do "greatest hits" packages feature the full-length recordings as found on the originals from whence the songs are culled. "On the Radio" was as the title stated: a collection of radio "edits" of the singer's best from the mid-seventies until the last of the decade.
The bonus tracks are the then-new "Enough is Enough (No More Tears)," the hit duet with Summer and Streisand, and the extended version of the title cut.
I often think that "Enough is Enough" might have been the "sign-on-the-cross" for disco, inasmuch as the days of the dance music form were numbered, due in part to the plethora of artists, from Broadway's Ethel Merman to country's Bill Anderson all taking a stab at disco.
However, if one is looking for the "real thing," then consider the purchase of Summer's "On the Radio," a "sampler" that shows the GOOD that the decade had to offer.
Absolute best in dance/disco music !.......2006-02-15
This is the best Donna Summer recording you can buy. This was released late 1979 early 1980(?) and was put out from Casablanca records at a time when Donna was having some legal work done against Casablanca and even if this record was put out in spite of Donna they did an awesome job of taking her 1970s hits and doing a little bit of adjustment making one cool recording.
The reason this is Donna's best recording is because of how they blend the songs so that while one song ends the other song begins simultaneously. More importantly is how it sounds when this is done. The absolute best of this recording is at the end of Love To Love You Baby(LTLYB) where the backup chorus all come together like they do on other versions of LTLYB, but on this one they use the synthesizers in a way that almost sounds like they are tweaking it or something at the very end of LTLYB while the beginning of "Try Me.." starts.
The first time I heard this version of LTLYB back in 1992 I thought "WOW" does that sound cool. The only part I don't like was having Barbara Streisand on here. I don't dislike her and will listen to Barbara Streisand if she's played on the radio, but mixing her with Donna wasn't a good choice and the song with her is the only one on here that is bad.
This recording was out over 26 years ago and is proof that even with all the technology that has evolved since then, that you have to have someone who is a good singer working with a good producer with good ideas who knows how to use technology to make something sound good who can make a overall recording that sounds good. Donna was the last cool woman making dance music and after Donna was no longer the queen of dance music other women came along with social and political themes (e.g. Madonna, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey) incorporated into their goofy, simple dance songs and the media/public classified them as "divas" simply because of what they represented and not how the music sounded. They took over the dance genre and ruined it for me personally.
Donna's music has lasted the test of time and still sounds good. I would like to see this cd re-released with remixes added that were DONE BACK WHEN THIS RECORDING WAS OUT NOT RECENTLY like they do to some cool songs and ruin them with a "today"- sounding remix.
America was introduced to Donna Summer around Valentines Day 1976 and 30 years later it's time to have this cd redone with extended bonuses and to see more of Donna at concerts and on TV.

My Number One.......2007-06-20
I live in a little village in a small country many thousand miles away from Luther. But from the first day I listened to him singing the song 'Here and Now' many years ago, he has remained My Number One.No male vocalist today can match the sheer talent he was gifted with.
And I especially treasure this 'live album' because I never had the chance to see him perform on stage.Disappointed initially that it wasn't made into a music video, I found that with no visual distractions, the senses are more alert to every word, every pause, every scream in the crowd.To just hear him talk was thrilling. And I was laughing at his jokes!
This album is like Luther's musical history. Opening with 'Never Too Much', the song which catapulted him to fame, then a slower version of 'Here and Now' and then sharing some jokes with Kevin Owens and his
background singers before continuing with the seductive 'Take You Out'.
The ballads 'Love Won't Let Me Wait' and 'superstar' are stunningly beautifully ( there won't be enough adjectives to describe them ) sung as only Luther can do.
The audience was screaming ' We love you Luther' throughout the performance and I felt like doing the same too.By the time he had finished 'If Only For One Night', 'A House Is Not A Home' and 'Glow Of Love' and said "goodnight everybody, thanks for coming" , I was left speechless and breathless as if I was sitting right there in the audience.
It's been two years since he's been gone but he's still My Number One.
AN AWESOME END TO A STELLAR CAREER.......2007-02-21
I've always loved Luther, although I wouldn't consider myself a fanatic.
Suffice it to say I've enjoyed MOST of his output. Vocally, he is the
last of the great male R&B vocalists, IMHO. No one since has come close
to his silky, sensitive yet powerful vocalizing. That said, I think this
CD stands as one of LV's very best. It has everything you want in a
live CD: great sound, great song selection, AMAZING vocals and that vibe
that makes you wish you'd been there that night. I highly recommend it
to Luther fans everywhere. Listen to the soundclips and see for yourself.
We miss you Luther, and we'll never forget you!
Good Luther.......2007-01-18
This is ok. For some reason of allmy Luther, this wasnt as Great as i expected. Could be longer with more songs and is about an 80%.
I expected more just looking at the cover.
Not Bad, just Not as Super as I ecpected. Buy the Wembly Stadium Live show Its Just what you want and Superb Live.
A Non-Believer .......2007-01-09
I must admit that I had heard Mr Vandross coming to my city to do a concert. Scores of people would go...for what I asked? I was talking to a relative and she said he likes to do concerts. So what was all the fuss about? Then I heard "A House Is Not A Home." I knew Dionne Warwick had me enticed when she did it...but this man......He gave this song new meaning. Fortunately, for me my Aunt called me up and said Luther is coming to town. Well, Well, so Mr. Vandross will be here. I must go and hear him sing this 'signature song'. I called up and nearly dropped when I heard the price of the tickets. Decided against going until the lady said I have Front Row Center Seats !!!!!! Did I buy my ticket...yes I did!!
Front row center can have you spellbound....but I will admit...His concert was good...but I didn't know a single song, except "A House Is Not A Home" !! I was shamed...and... I was not a fan of his. So I went with a looking and inquiring mind to hear this creamy voiced singer.
I was not disappointed... but kept waiting for the signature song. It finally came with the theatrics and Mr. Vandross walking across the stage from left to right with intermittenent sounds of ""Oh""... in front of the microphone then to the other side and back in front of the microphone with another loud ""Oh"". My mind said..... He's setting us up for the kill...and he did more than that. I felt like someone just had made love to me, begged me. seduced me, and caressed my mind...first...then body ...and then soul. This man knew how to use his voice , was truly Gifted and A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. His backup singers were absent and the soul catching , dramatic voice and sounds of Luther were there alone on the stage (not to forget the band).
I came thee seeking, and I found... However while the crowd gave him a standing ovation for his intrepretation of a song of a man in love with a woman that had made a mistake.......I just melted in my resolve and knew that I would be a life long believer and fan of Luther Vandross.
Being in the front row center seat...Mr Vandross had a good view of my calm reactions (being I didn't know any of the songs he sang...so I just relaxed and sat back in my seat to be entertained.) When the evening was over...he clapped with the audience....thanked them for coming...and before he left the stage...Mr Luther Vandross looked RIGHT AT ME....SMILED HIS PEARLY WHITES AND SAID """GOODNIGHT"""................. Now I must admit the concert and A House Is Not A Home ..blew me away, but for him to say Goodnight......left no doubt in my mind...I was looked at and smiled by a celebrity last....and by a GENTLEMAN first!!!!!
Now you have read my story of me and Mr.Luther Vandross. I went out after that concert and bought mostof all the songs he recorded..and played them until they got scratched up. The DVD at Wembly was EXCELLENT.....the man can dance when he wants too.(smile) I just wish someone would make a dvd of this cd available...so far I have heard nothing...but I brought this cd and it's **7 STAR PERFECT**. I've played it over and over and over again. Superstar is his favorite to do and Nat Adderly is.....out of this world.... and nobody does it better than Luther..someone on here wrote "Only Luther can outdo Luther." Then I accidently left it at my daughter's house, but not to be dismayed...just got another copy. So I will eventually have 2 copies of this magnificent cd of the Late Luther Vandross. I have the studio version of most of these songs on this cd. but hearing him do it ""Live "", packs such a powerful punch !!!!I know that he danced with his father again... when he saw him ....and is now waiting for his mother so that they all can dance together again ...... FOR ETERNITY.
Thanks for reading my long review....My favorite songs...they all are..but "Stop... to Love" and his Signature song are echoed in my mind FOREVER !!!
My Secret Love.......2007-01-06
Simply the greatest Luther CD ever put out. You really do experience the magic of being at one of his concerts. What other R&B star has a live CD that sounds just as good, if not better then the original studio version? Not many!

Too little Robin Harris.......2007-05-27
I discovered Robin Harris years ago and originally purchased this set on cassette. I replaced it on CD but it was "borrowed" by a friend and never returned. This one is staying with me! He was a brilliant comedian who told the straight truth. My favorite track is the one on the church in Compton! It's a shame he died so young and we'll never be graced with his humor again.
Great CD, fond memories........2007-05-13
Robin Harris was a great comedian who died just when his star was rising. Listening to this CD brings back fond memories. He is truly missed.
review.......2006-07-02
It was very funny. Glad I have it. I would love to have the video (cd)
Robin Harris is the best!!.......2006-03-26
The audio version of the stand-up act I remember seeing years ago brought back memories of a New Years Eve we had watching this comedian, same show years ago. It arrived in the best condition and quickly, 3 days. I was surprised how speedy the delivery time was. Thanks again.
Robin Harris would have been one of the Kings of Comedy.......2006-03-17
I bought this on tape years ago and some how lost track of it the person I loaned it to swears they gave it back to me, and I have been searching for a copy for years. I found it on amazon and I was so happy. Robin Harris is over the top funny I listen to this in my car and I know people think that I am in sane because I am just falling over laughing. Robin is funny without being to vulgar and his comedy is features experiences that we all can relate to. Had he not died he would have been one of the funniest men in comedy and no doubt part of the Kings of Comedy.

Radio Disney is a nationally syndicated children's program, and Radio Disney: Kid Jams pulls together 17 of the show's "greatest hits." It's a cornucopia of high-energy, parent-approved pop and classics from The Lion King and Mulan. Represented are teen idols (the Backtsreet Boys, Hanson), hip-hop (Technotronic, MC Hammer, and a Mickey-ized version of Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There it Went)"), dancefloor (2 Unlimited, "Macarena"), silly favorites (Weird Al Yankovic, I-8-Paste), and even James Brown. There's a lot to like about a compilation that draws no divisions between Yankovic's "Yoda" (a takeoff on the Kinks' "Lola"), Sponge's take on the Speed Racer theme, Steve Vai's cover of "Wipeout," and the Hardest Working Man in Show Business (Brown). The only complaint here is that some parents may resent getting "Macarena" stuck in their heads again. --Randy Silver

Radio Disney: Kid Jams.......2005-08-09
I love the music on this CD because it takes popular music and makes it suitable for children... a very fun and festive selection of songs! Kids love it too!
I would buy this for my nieces.........2004-08-09
The track listing on here is fairly good, with Steve Vai, James Brown, and many other popular performers (hopefully after hearing these musicians, my nieces will begin to find less worthy children's "music" such as Kidz Bop as musically tedious and unsatisfying as the rest of my family does, and I admit that, even as a 27 year old woman I have recently found myself tuning into Radio Disney (to become familiar with and "hip to" what my nieces like and listen and actually enjoying much of what I hear. Much of what is on this CD and channel appeals to adults and children alike, making them so much better than so much other "family" music. I recommend this to anyone who has kids in their lives, as this music remains totally appropriate, but is not watered-down "kiddie" music that talks down musically to your kids.
Kids 5 to 10 agree it's great.......2003-03-21
I work in a before and after school progream and we own all the the Radio Disney Cd's. My 1st - 5th graders love it. They know the songs from radio and the disney channel, and I don't have to worry about inappropriate lyrics.
this is the best radio disney cd out.......2003-02-25

amazing.......2005-03-22
I bought this on a whim from a used cd/record store, with only the caption "weird, melodic, electro-pop; commercial jingles for the clinically insane."
Those were the best $6 I've ever spent. The cd has addicting beats and bizarre lyrics. What an amazing upbeat cd! I would say it is like the Postal Service on methamphetamines. From children to hipsters, this cd will be appreciated.
almost perfect except for..............2003-12-31
This album is wonderful. The only exception in my book is the 'hidden' track, which is made for kids not the people enjoying this album. A few of the instrumentals can get tedious but are enjoyable in a way.
The rest of the tracks are strange, different little nuggets. '1983' is my fave but every song following it falls under the realm of instant happiness. 'Best Friend' should have been picked up by VW for a Beetle commercial. These songs are feel-good, sunny morning toe tappers that can make just about everyone walk away feeling just a little more bouyant. This is one album I can truly say I am glad I bought.
This album is too cool !.......2003-09-23
This is one of the coolest albums I've heard in years. I can't wait for their next release! The music is original from start to finish. Lots of different syles are explored. A great debut effort. After listening to so many albums where every song sounds the same this is REALLY a breath of fresh air. I love the use of extensive use synthesizers with acoustic and electric instruments. The band really explores many different sounds. The lyrics are mostly quirky and fun but they all have substance underneath. The mixes and multi-layered textures and wide variety of vocals used are really neat. I love this album! Finally something different and good.
LET ME GET DOWN LET ME GET DOWN.......2002-10-25
I think the coolest and most bizarre song I own out of the 5300 songs...I have is Electric Pocket Radio. One Millionth customer is just a cool as hell song layered and built up perfectly. BEEP BEEP Love is unavoidably addictive, and everything in between just rocks. Get this album, you couldn't possibly regret it.
Original!.......2002-10-06
If you're looking for some awesome songs that are unlike anything you've ever heard before, look no further. This is an awesome album all around, but the song Fuzzy has got to be the best Incredible Moses Leroy has ever done. I first heard it on a TV ad for the italian motorscooter Vespa. It's so adorable!

Comprehensiveness isn't always a virtue, as this three-CD set proves. It gathers together everything David Bowie recorded for the BBC between the years referenced in its title, plus a third disc taken from a June 2000 London concert for the famed British radio broadcasting company. Head first to disc two, which focuses on Bowie's in-studio recreations of material from Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust, and marvel at the glam-rockabilly heat generated by Bowie's Spiders from Mars band. By comparison, the other two discs are a disappointment. The first reveals a musical chameleon uncomfortably changing his spots, from music-hall entertainer to free-festival folkie to sub-Dylan sage. The third and final disc betrays a different problem. By 2000, Bowie had calcified into a very slick entertainer. His performances here, particularly of later material such as "I'm Afraid of Americans" and "This Is Not America," are technically fine but a little bloodless--disappointingly human instead of wonderfully alien. --Keith Moerer

More essential than you might think...........2005-11-05
`Beeb' is a British affectation for the BBC, the state-run media which plans (or planned) all television and radio for Great Britain. Bowie was around when the BBC was implementing its 4-station radio broadcasting, and he became one of the first guests in early 1968. BBC rules were strange and archaic by American standards, insisting that pre-recorded music represent only a fraction of airtime, the point being that this would provide employment for professional musicians. So it was that David Bowie appeared with a crew of musicians to perform his songs live a number of times over a four-year period.
I'm a very big fan of Bowie's early work (reference my review of Images 1966-1967 if you're interested), but the earliest sessions on this collection are the least fulfilling. Disk one holds interest to Bowie-philes for historic reasons, but it is disk two that presents the artist in full flight. Working with Mick Ronson, his Ziggy Stardust-era songs shine brilliantly here, in some cases rivaling the album versions. "Hang On to Yourself," "Suffragette City," and "Ziggy Stardust" all rock with authority and grace. "Queen Bitch" has more energy than the version on Hunky Dory, while the songwriting brilliance of songs like "Changes" and "Oh You Pretty Things" come through loud and clear. Most telling are the two Velvet Underground songs performed here. Both "White Light/White Heat" and "Waiting For My Man" are definitive, surpassing all Bowie versions that were previously available and perhaps even surpassing Lou Reed's original versions.
For those of you who are lucky enough to find it, a limited edition of this package comes with an extra disk of Bowie performing live at the BBC radio theatre in June of 2000. Search it out! The extra disk is extraordinary, featuring some of the best live Bowie ever recorded. The band is phenomenal, playing each song to perfection without sacrificing any energy. This version of "Stay" blew me away, forcing me to recognize the sheer funky power of this band. Just as mind-boggling are the versions of "Fame" (a new, `improved' version!), "Absolute Beginners" and "Man Who Sold the World". Every track on this extra disk is exceptional, making it an absolute must for even casual fans of David Bowie. A- Tom Ryan
The best of early bowie in one inspiring collections.......2004-11-23
David Bowie is indisputibally on of the most talented artists in music ever. His songwriting is always at a peak, and was always excellent in his early days, and that is proved on this fantastic collection from the BBC. All live, but you wouldn't know it because it's sounds as clear as his studio recordings. And how about those lyrics? Bowie is so inventive, and he's never gotten the due he's deserved. Look at the amount of work he's accomplished, and look how good he can still be; even better than most. He's amazing. One listen to this collection and you'll realize he's amazing too, i hope. If you're still in doubt listen to all of ziggy stardust, but trust me you'll love it.
CHANGESBEEBOWIE.......2004-09-09
CD2 - The first CD could be a symphony of (flatus) and I'd still give this 5 stars for the nearly immaculate performances on the second disk. In particular, "Hang Onto Yourself" (track 3), "White Light/White Heat," and "Suffregette City" (featuring Mick Ronson making this totally hot kissing noise with his guitar)crackle with energy. It is truly a thrill to hear these old favorites in such a new (as such) and exciting light. Bowie and Co. burn down the BBC studios. Repeatedly. Any rock fan (but especially an old Bowie fan, of course) is likely to meltdown in ecstacy upon hearing this.
CD1 - Many hardcore fans will surely (sweet milk) over CD1 as well although I'm not personally crazy about all of it. Some of David's early Brittish folk period is represented which can be a bit hippy-dippy at times. The first 4 tracks, recorded in May of '68, fit that description although they do feature brilliant in-studio orchestral accompaniment.
Much of CD1 does in fact rock. "Let Me Sleep Beside You" and "Janine" are very good, easy-going rockers recorded with Junior's Eyes who had a short-lived collaboration with Bowie and the session was never broadcast. Bowie delivers a stunning solo performance of Jacques Brel's "Port of Amsterdam" (vocal and guitar). The same session shows off Mick Ronson just a few days after hooking up with Bowie for the first time. They perform an intriguing, half-written version of "Width of a Circle." Ronson really cuts loose on "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" and "Cygnet Committee" is positively intense. Some studio hum can be heard on the session, an atmospheric reminder of the electric nature of these proceedings (that may or may not appeal to the listener). "Memory of a Free Festival" had sadly been edited for time and remains so.
Recorded in June of '71, the last session on CD1 features all of the future Spiders From Mars as well as some friends on vocals and guitarist Mark Carr-Pritchard who played for a phantom Bowie project called Arnold Corns. Early embryonic versions of "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang Onto Yourself" were recorded and released under that name. The group stomps through "Bombers," a rare HUNKY DORY-era cut that sounds better (and less cheesy) than the studio version which I have as a bonus cut from the RYCODISK release of HUNKY DORY. "Looking For A Friend" is a country-ish, Stones-y rocker and they also turn in a rousing cover of Chuck Berry's "Almost Grown." And Bowie performs "Kooks" solo on vocal and guitar which he had just written for newborn son Zowie.
Note: Those concerned about excessive voice-overs from BBC radio hosts (like the ones that marred the Jimmy Hendrix BBC release) can relax. There's very little talking over the songs and quite a bit of interesting Bowie banter on CD1. CD2 has nothing but back-to-back songs. Tracks begin with actual songs, not the preceeding dialogue.
Bonus Disk (June 27, 2002 live at BBC Radio Theatre) - ****1/2 Excellent line-up (Earl Slick, Mike Garson), great choice of songs, Bowie in top form. Still, something's missing. A little too slick and professional, maybe? But this is great stuff. "Seven" comes off really well. "Always Crashing In The Same Car" is excellent and much more organic than the album version. The studio wizardry of "Little Wonder" and "Hallo Spaceboy" is expertly reproduced. This album takes on more definition with repeated listens and sounds better over time too. (Many live recordings can initially sound "same-y" from song to song due to same background vocalists, etc.)
We can probably thank Kurt Cobain for reviving Bowie's interest in the post-apocalyptic "Man Who Sold The World," wonderfully played here. "Fame" is vamped-up with a slightly altered rhythm, still funky as ever. "Stay" rocks out. And on the final cut, "Let's Dance" is reimagined as a Carribean breeze before, suddenly, the beat kicks in and the audience "trembles like a flower."
This entire package is most worthy. Highly recommended!
A sprawling triple CD effort.......2004-05-16
I rarely listen to this although having said that I have been listening to it a lot more recently. The fact is is that this is a hard thing to recommend. You might not have some of the songs that are on here and for that you might want to top up. I bought it as an overview of Bowie's earlyish career ( I'm not going anywhere near The Laughing Gnome ). Which in hindsight was probably a bit of a mistake but I wouldn't buy this album if it didn't have the extra CD - call me banal if you will but that's what happens when you have collector tendancies in you!
Bowie's early stuff ( pre-Ziggy ) sounds anodyne and twee. The conversations you hear on the CD make Bowie seem genuinely nervous but pleasantly friendly. Of course he might not do one song " because to do it would be possibly over everyone's budget." You could take that as nerves if you will but this is the BBC we're talking about. Their budgets at the time were not astronomical.
I've said this before that when you see " Live At The BBC " it doesn't really mean it's really *live* if you've ever heard BBC radio presenters like John " that was quite tasty " Peel or any others you'll know that they say " and we have [musician's name] here live in the studio." It's in a studio and it will never give you a live feel for the songs. It's just BBC engineers working on Bowie's songs and in return you could I suppose think of them as session outtakes from his album. But one thing should be made clear - if you haven't got Bowie's version of Jacques Brel's Amsterdam, this is where you can get it. It's passion almost matches Le Grand Jacques in it's intensity
As the second CD moves and the classics come in you begin to think " this is more like it " and Bowie seems more at ease with everything. Notice his covers of White Light/White Heat ( " make me sound like Lou Reed ")
Now the third CD becomes even more sprawling since it tries to fill in all the places that the first two CDs left out. And it's not always a winner. Little Wonder and I'm Afraid of Americans are terrible songs but actually sound better than what they sounded like on their original album. Still doesn't make it good but at least you can probably tolerate it this time. But overall it didn't capture the gig very well since I saw this on TV when I was 15 and I thought the gig was fantastic. Bowie really had them going ( but then that was to be expected right? ), the CD just doesn't capture the songs well and though I like nearly all of the songs, it lacks the cohesion that the show actually had. Still, for the money I paid for this it's not too bad. But then, there's always a nagging feeling that it could be improved but whatever about that, the sheer amount of material you have here you can be somewhat happy if you want to buy this.....of course that is if you are a diehard fan. If you're not - try figuring out which compilation you want to get of Bowie. There's a lot of them around!
CD 2 still the best, but CD3 doesn't disappoint/Bowie Rocks!.......2003-02-11
I did track down this version that has the fine recently recorded third CD, HOWEVER, I would have been happy to have just heard the original two CD collection. On Disc 3, I was impressed with some of the old songs that were chosen such as "Man Who Sold The World" and some classics I have never heard done live like "Ashes To Ashes" and "Stay." The biggest and best surprise is the closer: "Let's Dance." Sweet!
This is certainly an interesting collection of songs! I can't say I love DISC 1 in general, but there are some nice surprises. "Kooks" is a lovely little song! The band playing with Bowie is quite good in "The Width Of A Circle" and "Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed." I heavily prefer Disc 2 because I have loved the "Ziggy Stardust" material for many years. The familiar songs sound different but as enjoyable as the released versions. Bowie was great at reworking good songs into even better songs, which is quite apparent on "I'm Waiting For The Man" and "White Light/White Heat." I can't say enough positive things about Disc 2 other than "Freak out, in a Moonage Daydream! Oh yeah!"

If you're a bowie fan.......2007-07-07
If you're a bowie fan, you're in for a treat. I first heard tracks from this album while I was sitting in a coffee shop. I thought he'd done some new live acoustic recordings, they sounded so fresh. There are a lot of tracks and some clunkers, but the good ones make up for it. Bowie is of course and incredible performer and the necessity of these stripped down BBC recordings lets his performances shine. He rips into the songs in a way that's not possible on a studio album. Magical!!
MISSING THE 3RD LIVE DISC!.......2007-06-20
If you have any notion of buying this great set, look at the used listings for the earlier, limited edition, now OOP, 3CD set.
It contains a fabulous live disc recorded at the BBC London Theatre 06/27/00 that this later edition does not have.
Check out the tracklist for the live disc:
Disc: 3
1. Wild Is The Wind
2. Ashes To Ashes
3. Seven
4. This Is Not America
5. Absolute Beginners
6. Always Crashing In The Same Car
7. Survive
8. Little Wonder
9. Man Who Sold The World
10. Fame
11. Stay
12. Hallo Spaceboy
13. Cracked Actor
14. I'm Afraid Of Americans
15. Let's Dance
As of this writing, the OOP 3CD is available here on Amazon for less, used, than this 2-disc set, new.
Don't pass up the opportunity to get the live CD. The audio is first rate, and the performance is excellent.
Link to the original 3CD BBC set.
5 for disc 1 3 for disc 2 One of Bowies best.......2007-03-16
Contrary to the reviews here- i think disc One is the stunner here featuring many of Bowies earliest mod folk and acoustic rockers. God knows im good- (Brels) Amsterdamn -In the heat of the morning and well pretty much all of the first disc capture David at his early climb to fame. The interviews and radio chatter only enhance the uniqueness and rarity for fans. Its all very informative and captures a time and place and the sound is excellent- you can almost sense coming superstardom in the confidence of the material and in the band. Disc two contains most of his Ziggy Stardust material which ofcourse is all good but basically sounds like demos of that album and for the most part is very familiar even to the casual fan. The acoustic versions of Supermen and Andy Warhol would have sat better on disc one as they flow into that material better. This is a great bargain especially used nearly 40 songs of Bowie at his peak. Disc One however finds itself on permanent rotation in my cd player- i could listen to this all day.

Bowie delivers a stunning solo performance of Jacques Brel's "Port of Amsterdam" (vocal and guitar). The same session shows off Mick Ronson just a few days after hooking up with Bowie for the first time. They perform an intriguing, half-written version of "Width of a Circle." Ronson really cuts loose on "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" and "Cygnet Committee" is positively intense. Some studio hum can be heard on the session, an atmospheric reminder of the electric nature of these proceedings (that may or may not appeal to the listener). "Memory of a Free Festival" had sadly been edited for time and remains so.
Recorded in June of '71, the last session on CD1 features all of the future Spiders From Mars as well as some friends on vocals and guitarist Mark Carr-Pritchard who played for a phantom Bowie project called Arnold Corns. Early embryonic versions of "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang Onto Yourself" were recorded and released under that name. The group stomps through "Bombers," a rare HUNKY DORY-era cut that sounds better (and less cheesy) than the studio version which I have as a bonus cut from the RYCODISK release of HUNKY DORY. "Looking For A Friend" is a country-ish, Stones-y rocker and they also turn in a rousing cover of Chuck Berry's "Almost Grown." And Bowie performs "Kooks" solo on vocal and guitar which he had just written for newborn son Zowie.
Note: Those concerned about excessive voice-overs from BBC radio hosts (like the ones that marred the Jimmy Hendrix BBC release) can relax. There's very little talking over the songs and quite a bit of interesting Bowie banter on CD1. CD2 has nothing but back-to-back songs. Tracks begin with actual songs, not the preceeding dialogue.
Bowie Learning How to Fly, Then Flying.......2006-01-16
This is yet another interesting byproduct of the recent rush to re-release Brit groups and stars who performed during rock's glory age for various BBC TV and radio programs. Usually these are a mixed bag, as they often collect different time periods, different settings, different styles, and different sound dynamics, all wrapped onto one or two discs. Notable recent BBC collections include an early collection by the Beatles, a generally enthusiastic release from the Kinks, a great Led Zeppellin cd, and a very strong late-period Procol Harum set.
This one is no different. Like those I mentioned, the first cd of Bowie at the Beeb collects several early live performances of a red-hot Bowie fresh off the high of "Space Oddity" performing an eclectic set of solo, small group acoustic, and rock performances. Leaving aside the annoying BBC host who is always omnipresent in these sets, Bowie turns in a strong yet tentative collection of his early songs, some joined by Mick Ronson toward the end of the disc. Standouts include "Janine," "The Width of a Circle," and a rave-up performance of "It Ain't Easy." Those familiar with the early Bowie sound will find it in abundance on the first cd, an obvious talent looking for the right sound and fit for his muse, trying on and abandoning different styles but always a solid performer throughout.
The second cd finds a far more confident Bowie a few years later (1972) in a studio setting, bringing his amped-up Ziggy Stardust persona and ripping through a blistering set of highlights from that period. The sound (recorded with overdubs in the studio) is especially fine, and the performances first-rate -- Mick Ronson leaves no prisoners as he slashes through "Hang on to Yourself" and "Ziggy Stardust." Bowie even brings on a large contingent of supporters later on to help him with a superb set that includes "Starman," "Space Oddity," and "Changes."
Bowie fans will rejoice. I hope the Bowie archivists start releasing more of his early and mid-period live sets, as we have seen with other similar artists, so we can fill in the missing pieces in the evolution of a singular rock icon.

Classic Eddie Murphy.......2005-09-15
I loved it on video on cable back in the day...love it now. Brings you down memory lane!!!! Eddie Murphy at his funniest.
For those looking, this IS the HBO "Delirious" concert set.......2005-05-19
Just wanted to clarify that for anyone looking for Eddie Murphy's very first HBO special "Delirious", this is it (the audio anyway). I'm not positive its that _exact_ night (him using a fan's camera to take a picture of his crotch isn't on this CD) but it _is_ the Delirious comedy routine. Its all here, gay Ralph Kramden & Ed Norton, gay Mr.T, Ricky "Its just so rediiiculous" Ricardo etc.
This is Eddie Murphy's first and finest routine. None of his later specials or even any of his films ever surpassed this stand-up set.
Spawned a Million Hacks.......2004-04-25
Unfortunately, it's hard to fully appreciate this album today. Why, you ask? Because 99% of the "comedians" on ComicView and Def Jam have COVERED it, that's why. Their mannerisms, their material, their delivery...just about everything they do is derived from this great record.
In doing so, these thieves have killed the entertainment value of COMEDIAN for those who weren't around to enjoy it when it was new. But hey, buy it anyway as an act of protest.
Classic example of 80's standup comedy.......2003-05-07
This album is a classic 80's comedy album. For those of you who have seen Delirious a lot of the main stuff from that video is on this CD. The Mr T material is of course classic as is the Mick Jagger description.
This album does have a substantial amount of swearing which may offend some people and you shouldn't buy this album by mistake if you're looking for something for the kiddies because they like Donkee from Shrek or Eddie Murphy in the Nutty Professor. The swearing isn't just mindless though it does fit the comedy.
A lot of the comedy is rather dated but it does reflect the times of the 80's. The Aids stuff especially related to the fear and unknown aspects of the disease at the time. I found it interesting his description of Michael Jackson which reflects what the king of pop was like in the early 80's. There's a fair bit of prejudice jokes against homosexuals, women and other races but if you can overlook that those jokes are pretty funny.
On this album Eddie tells about why he became a comedian, his childhood and other hilarious stuff. Some of the gags are obviously visual which is a bit stupid. It's not as funny as his earlier self titled one but it's still worth listening to.
THIS MAN IS FUNNY!!!!.......2002-12-31
Just the other day, I was cleaning out my attic and I happen to find a cd with a fairly, handsome young man by the name of Eddie Murphy.
I didn't think nothing of it, I thought it was another R&B classic, but I came across the word "Comedian", and just got hooked to the cd. I stopped what I was doing, and played it on my stereo.
This CD is hilarious. It begins with Eddie Murphy talking about faggots, and how he's scared of gay people. The most offensive, but funniest part was when he wondered if Mr.T was a faggot. He was imatating a gay Mr.T and the guys from the honey mooners.
Eddie Murphy pokes fun at all the celebrities from Mick Jagger to Stevie Wonder. My favorite tracks is "Singers", "Ice Cream Man, Shoe Throwing Mothers"and "The Barbeque". I like this CD not only because it's funny, but it takes you back to childhood,and by me being from the "old school" I could relate to some of the stuff he said that reminded me of "real life"
Boy, you just didnt know how excited I was finding this CD. This CD happens to be funnier than a lot of comical CDs that were out after '83. This is a CD you just cant live without. Though, Eddie Murphy wasnt this funny after Delirious, I rather stick with THIS Eddie Murphy, when he was new and knew how to kill a crowd with his hilarious jokes.
Eddie, you did a good job. Wished you could have made some more comicial albums like this. I almost died listening to you!!! Fans, if you're feeling down and depressed, or just looking for a good time, buy this CD. You wont be disapointed.
