Lou........The Voice.......2007-07-17
The great Lou Gramm and Freddie Mercury will always be the top 2 rock vocalists on my personal all-time favorite list (edge to Freddie though as a monster Queen fan). When you talk about individuals who can singlehandedly carry a band and are easily distinguished, Lou Gramm should go down as one of the all time greats. This is a phenomenal solo effort that I actually did not pick up on until many years after release. I guess I was just frustrated with all the nonsense that Foreigner went through and that Mick Jones and Lou could never find a way to keep themselves together. In my mind, Mick always thought he was more important than he actually was.
This is a great collection of cuts that still holds up well (although the production does now sound a bit dated). Lou, in his prime, would not see too many rival that amazing voice. This release sure brings back those great late 80's college years and am glad that Lou Gramm was a part of those memories for me.
Review CD Ready or Not by Lou Gramm.......2007-02-22
Cd was in perfect condition. Amazon Was Only Place I could find copy.
Raw But Good.......2006-09-11
I have to say, this was not one of my favorite projects from Lou, but it is strong in it's way & demonstrates his ability to head out on his own. It is not like Foreigner material, so if you're hung up on his sound when he was with them, I wouldn't recommend Ready Or Not for your collection. Ready Or Not, the title cut, was an excellent way to begin the album, as it's strong & I think it encourages someone with an open mind to what Lou was intending to listen further. However, I don't think any of the other cuts are quite as strong in terms of rockin' out. A couple of my favorites on here are Midnight Blue, of course, (I think I would still say that even if it hadn't been released & been semi successful for him), Time, which is actually kind of reminiscent of when the rockers used to have a story to tell in their songs, & She's Got To Know. She's Got To Know started me thinking about how you can not like an arrangement of a song, but still totally dig the message it delivers. I think he sounds kind of corny on that song, & I don't think the arrangement really flows well, is kind of cheesy, but the message is a good one. I found I was thinking that both men & women should probably have a listen to those lyrics & perhaps they would have a little something to come out of it thinking about if they chose to. Anyway, the musicianship was a bit raw, which has already been said somewhere, even by Lou I think. I noticed he likes a lot of revirb on his slow, sad tunes. The voice is good on here. There is variation from living in his upper range to mid range. People know him for his voice much of the time & you know, that's good, but these things do change over time. This album is from when he could still pull that range out of himself, but if you live in the age of Foreigner, as I said, this does not compare, as it shouldn't, as it is Lou gone solo & solo, to me, means he has the right to be himself. I say nice work & don't regret that I added Ready Or Not to my collection.
Good just not great.......2006-08-21
Lou Gramm truly has the best rock voice out there. In my opinion however he should have stayed with a great thing when he had it. Although this CD is very good it just can't live up to the greatness he's known for while with Foreigner. At the price it's still worth the buy if your a fan just don't expect it to top his past glory.

Album Description
The music on the album is British Powerpop from the late 70's, the songs were our live set playing with bands such as The Jam, The Buzzcocks, XTC, The rezillos, and many gigs on our own. We are now playing again and have just returned from Tokyo.
Album Description
Full title - Fast Cars - Coming...Ready Or Not! Fast Cars were one of the most underrated bands from Manchester scene in the late 70s. They played with XTC, The Buzzcocks, Joy Division, The Fall, The Rezillos and supported The Jam. Their brilliant debut single 'The Kids Just Wanna Dance' picked up daytime Radio One play and they were almost signed by The Jams A&R man at Polydor. Of Course, the music has a nasty habit of turning it's back on some great bands and sadly this is what happened, in the early 80s the band split, disillusioned with all the bullshit that the industry was throwing up. 16 original powerpop tunes plus two covers, Bowies 'Suffragette City' & the Holland/Holland/Dozier number 'This Old Heart Of Mine'. Detour Records. 2001.
Customer Reviews:
Top pop punk from England.......2006-01-15
This CD is an amazing find, I'd only heard of "The kids just wanna dance" before cause that is always listed a classic from the day. Fast Cars are one of the original pop punk bands playing the style 20 years before Green Day etc !!! Tracks like "Bombed our school" "Marching as to war" are just as relevant today, "Marching" could be a theme tune for Iraq !!!
Hope someone can find more from where this came from, truly 5 star pop punk !!!
A Power Pop Classic!.......2005-10-12
I've never written a review on Amazon, and I'm only writing one now because I find it disheartening an album this good has no reviews.
At first, what struck me about the album is how much it sounded like The Exploding Hearts, as if the Fast Cars were trying to fill the void left by the Hearts' tragic demise. Which might have been the case, except for the fact that the Fast Cars made their mark in the '70s!
The songs are loud and catchy, but, similar to the Hearts, the sound is dirtier and more roughhewn than power pop songs such as Cheap Trick's "Surrender," but this only adds to the charm of the Fast Cars and sets them apart from their peers.
So if you like The Exploding Hearts, '70s punk or power pop in general, the Fast Cars are worth checking out. The album price is worth it, if only for the classic "The Kids Just Wanna Dance."
Plus considering that as of this writing this is the only review and that the ultra-rare original vinyl of the Fast Cars goes for mad cash on E-bay, just knowing about this band is sure to get you more cred than putting on a skinny tie. At least among the Japanese anyway.

Customer Reviews:
A fine fine musician.......2003-10-13
Keith, and his band long ago introduced me to Zydeco and its massive underground scene in the early 80's and since then i've been hooked.
This colaborative album only proves to me further the genius behind the acordian.
The thumping bass and whining melody drove me insane, and i was forced to make copies of the cd for my friends and relatives to pass on the magic.
CALI.......2000-04-10
I thought that the Cd could have had more songs. But I liked the whole Cd except "You can't keep a good man down." I especially like Operator and Shining Star. Keith Frank is a talented accordian player, and the rest of the band, his sister, brother and the other players are very skilled at their tasks
No song preview samples.......2000-04-01
I am disappointed. There are no samples of the songs for this CD. A few titles are listed but no play time. I enjoy being able to preview CD's before purchasing. This is my first time logging on to this site. However, I was informed I could preview songs prior to purchase. I would like to purchase this CD, but not without a preview.

A #42-charting album from 1964, on CD for the first time. Laugh.com. 2002.

Great comedy CD where are the others?.......2007-03-04
Godfrey Cambridge is halfway between Bill Cosby and Dick Gregory. Like Cosby, Cambridge tells stories more than jokes and like Gregory there is a very acute awareness of the racial struggle of the time. Like Cosby, Cambridge's material has aged well, aside from a few cultural references that are lost 40 years later, like Gregory sometimes the rage is subtle and in a black velvet glove.

Great Music.......2000-02-25
Thee Spivies is one of those bands whose music makes it impossible for you to just sit there. You have to get up and dance. Ever see the movie "That Thing You Do"? If you like the music from the movie, then you'll love this CD. Great band.
The happiest group on the planet.......1999-07-06
If you are looking for alittle pick me up look no futher. Thee spivies bring back the wholesome feel good music of the 50's. This record has the kind of songs you'll find yourself singing all day long. :)
this is another song about a...girl........1998-12-12
thee spivies are amazing. the cd is great. the songs are good ol' rock n roll tunes about being late, what to do in case of a fire(or not knowing any cool dance moves), and...girls. i highly recommened picking this one up.
