Complete & Live (L.A./04) [Live]

About the Artist
Springing out of Mexico City's increasingly fertile punk underground, Los de Abajo was formed by vocalist Liber Terán, guitarist Vladimir Garnica, bassist Carlos Cortez, saxophone player Damián Portugal and keyboardist Carlos Cuevas plus percussionist/drummers Yocupitzio Arellano and Gabriel Elias. Originally playing Latin ska, the group became increasingly political and punk-inspired during 1993-94. Los de Abajo recorded and released two cassette albums before being signed by Luaka Bop for their 1998 self-titled album and a release in 2002.

On the cover of Foreigner's newest collection, the letters that spell out Complete Greatest Hits are cut out from world currency. For example, there's an A from Antarctica, a T from Trinidad, an M from Mongolia, and so on. At least the drive behind this third greatest-hits compilation (fourth, if you count The Best of Foreigner Live) is clearly admitted. Still, if anyone deserves your money, an argument can be made for guitarist Mick Jones and singer Lou Gramm. They've been through it all, and along the way, they've written a slew of songs you know well enough to perform at karaoke (but never as well, admittedly--Lou has a hell of a voice). Whether you liked them when they rocked ("Cold as Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Juke Box Hero") or preferred the power ballads they were credited with inventing ("Waiting for a Girl Like You," "I Want to Know What Love Is"), this album makes it feel like the very first time again. --Laura Etling

Album Description

The complete greatest hits packs a single CD with 20 monster hit singles and airplay classics from 8 Foreigner albums released by Atlantic between 1977-1992. Includes radio staples 'Feels Like The First Time', 'Urgent', 'Waiting For A Girl Like You', 'Cold As Ice' and more! Remastered. 2002.

Kind of Cheesy.......2007-07-04

I was just a so-so fan but thought that buying the collection might make me into an avid fan. Not so. The tunes are original and kind of catchy, but frankly the production quality is low. My 10 year old said, "What's wrong with the music?" because it just doesn't have the quality of current recordings. So I would stay away unless you are already a really big fan.

Solid Rock and Roll.......2007-07-03

Great compilation of Foreigner's stuff and just a great album to listen to. 1 1/4 hours of good rock. Even though it's pretty long, the listener has no trouble just putting it in the player and letting it go. No boring fill anywhere at all.

Fantastic Foreigner.......2007-05-25

This CD takes you back to the days of riding around in a car full of friends, circling the same old parking lots over and over looking for hot guys / gals and even hotter parties. Gotta love those early 80's...we were all HOT BLOODED!

Outstanding recording!.......2007-05-15

If you like Foreigner like I like Foreigner, than this collection is a must for you! The sound is clear, crisp and direct. The vocals are excellent and I find this CD enjoyable many times over. A great buy!

Still as good as when they were young.......2007-07-07

I got to see them June 15th 2007 at the Saratoga Winery. They were a blast!!! You thought it was yesterday. They still got it, they still sound as good. They took "Momma Told Me Not To Come" and turned it into a Rap for fun, and the way they did it, you would have thought it had alwasy been sung that way.

I found myself remembering the words to most of the songs, that I thought I had forgotten. You don't forget, the words are just tucked away. They had a couple of new band members but the rest were the good ol' guys we remember. If you don't get to see them, this CD will be the next best thing. You will really enjoy listening to the songs on this CD.

After buying this, go check out "ToTo". They were the opening Band for Three Dog Night!!!

America- the hits.......2007-07-18

Great album of all their hits. Even the songs I didn't know are very listenable. Excellent sound and timeless music. Thank you America.

Great CD.......2007-07-13

I bought two (one for my sister). Every song on this CD brought back great memories of the 70's. It's a great CD for driving, cooling out at home, etc. America made such great songs. "Muskrat Love" was always my favorite.

Nice compilation of the real "great" AMERICA Hits.......2007-06-06

America and the 1970s, is an association you cannot avoid...
This excellent compilation made by the wizards of RHINO Records, includes almost all of their greatest hits. The sound quality is really good.
An ideal choice if you love to go listening good music while driving your car, guessing that anytime you should be driving all along the Ventura Highway, following the track of a Horse with No Name... Trying to reach your Sister Golden Hair, named Daisy Jane!... This CD will do Magic in your ears!

A great collection of those old songs.......2007-05-14

Most of America's greatest hits like "Horse with no Name" came out before I was born or when I was very small. I have always loved many of their songs because they were played on the radio, but never really knew who sang them. When I bought this album I was pleasantly surprised that most of the great old songs that I loved were done by America! They bring back memories of being driven around in a 1970's LeMans by my mom while wearing bell bottoms and pigtails. "Sandman" is my favorite, it totally rocks. There are a few songs on here that I don't care for, probably done later in their career, but overall this album is enjoyable from start to end.

If rock's most successful and memorable acts have usually succeeded by wrapping their own distillation of music history and personal tastes in whatever fashionable trappings are currently gripping the culture, it's hardly surprising that the Cars remain one of the most enduring symbols of the punk/new wave era. This 20-track anthology distills that argument perfectly. Ric Ocasek's songs embody a solid '60s sense of pop craftsmanship informed by a trend-conscious stylistic sheen and a cynical, slippery emotional detachment that's often betrayed by his own distinctly weary brand of romanticism, from the anxious pop of "Just What I Needed" and "You're All I've Got Tonight" to the melancholy-on-ice musings of "Drive" and "Tonight She Comes." Sixteen of the 20 cuts here were chart singles, and radio staples like "Bye Bye Love" and "Dangerous Type" might as well have been. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Good Enough.......2007-07-29

A decent enough compilation, but it's missing two of my favorites that showed more of their non-commercial roots at the time; "This Could Be Love" and "Don't Tell Me No". I think people forget that this is New Wave. They were a Post-Punk band when they came out and not really an FM radio band. So it would've beeen nice to hear some of the more "home played" cuts. I agree, a double disk would've been nice.But overall, I'm getting it.

economic car collection.......2007-07-17

Excellent condensed collection of Cars hits. Easily could have been a 2 cd
collection as the Cars were a hit machine in their day. Very good selection of songs that are catchy and fun as well as mysterious and open-ended. Once you get this you will likely want more.

A good late 70s early 80s CD. Reminds on of early MTV. Good mix, great sound

As Basil Bunting wrote about Ezra Pound's Cantos, "There are the Alps... you will have to go a long way round/if you want to avoid them." Led Zeppelin's work is the central fact of 1970s rock & roll; in its loving homage to and shameless piracy from the blues, its glorious and wretched excess, its transformation of hippie and folk-rock graces into a foundation-shaking kaboom, and its offhanded myth-making, the band turned everything caught in its wake into a reaction to it--or against it. The three non-album tracks the box includes are grace notes rather than lost jewels, but the point of the set is to be a Rosetta stone of album rock, the stairway to a gaudy paradise that they constructed. --Douglas Wolk

Customer Reviews:

Your one-stop Zep shop!.......2007-05-01

I got this because after all the years of playing just made my vinyl too noisy to convert to CD, and at around average cost of $9 a CD (it's a 9 album 10 CD set), it would have cost me at least $8-9 per CD plus shipping. The way the CD's are in a sleeve (like the albums were) was kind of neat, and the storage case keeps all the CD packaging in one spot with the booklet. Also that 2 CD's are in each "album" is an innovative packaging idea and it has everything that each LP had as far as artwork goes. I would suggest to any Zep fan that doesn't have a lot of their CD's go this route as it will save you money in the long run. And the re-masters sound great. A few of the bonus tracks on the "CODA" CD are pretty decent, but the fact you can get all their studio stuff new for under $100 I think is awesome!

Glorious that just doesn't cut it, Speechless is more like it........2007-03-07

These guys are the masters, the reigning kings of Hard Rock. Every gem is in this box set. Granduer, awesomeness and epic could be a couple of words to describe this box set, all I've got to say is buy it for your self, it will change your life. There was a time when I lost my job and I had to sell most of my record collection to make ends meet. Out of my whole collection I wouldn't give this up. This set got me through that peroid and also got me through other tough peroids in my life.
This box set chronciles the bands starting, up to its monarch like ascent and then to its fall when Bonzo died. All the albums are here in a 10 Box Set. Dazed and Confused, Ramble On, Misty Mountain Hop, Black Dog, Rock n'Roll, Stairway To Heavan, Achille's Last Stand, Candy Shop Rock, Kashmir, and Ozone Baby all those juicy bits are here a song for each mood. Led Zep's influences are easily seen here, garage rock, psychedelia, progressive, Rockabilly, country and of course the greatest influence the Blues. I often wonder if there is in any truth in the myth the band sold their souls to the Dark One because such mind numbing talent is almost beyond the pale of reality. I'm telling you get this set no music lover will be disapponited. Absolutely Awesome. Has 4 bonus tracks never released "Baby Come On Home", "Travelling Riverside Blues", "White Summer/Black Mountain Side", and "Hey Hey What Can I Do?" all songs in the blues vein and take their place besides the other greats. There is also a book of liner notes written by Cameron Crowe that have bits of interviews with the band and info on some of the songs. All in all this is a must have for any Zep head or person who apperciates good music.

Can't Get Any Better Than This.......2007-01-20

This is the best boxed set in music history by the greatest rock band in music history. Too bad they did not include The Song Remains the Same and How the West Was Won to it.

My only problem with this set is that my red aussie cattle dog ate the slipcase for Led Zeppelin III and IV and I cannot replace it. So I have a nice set with nice double slipcases and one eaten by my dog. At least she has taste huh? P.S. The cds are still good.

LED ZEPPELIN Collection.......2007-01-10

Simply wonderful. Exactly what I was waiting and hoping for. Excelent package and sound quality.

Worst packaging job ever........2007-01-07

The music in this set is brilliant and is 5 stars all around.

Unfortunately, the packaging for this set is absolutely atrocious. The box itself is pretty cool and even has a little door that slides away into the box (like an old garage door). Inside the box are 6 slots for the photo book/new liner notes and the 5 CD cases. Each CD case is a little hardback book that holds 2 CDs and the recreated liner notes from the original LPs. For example, Led Zeppelin I and Led Zeppelin II are housed in the same hardback book with original liner notes. Unfortunately, if you want to read the liner notes for II, you have to flip the booklet over and start from the back. This is just stupid and the idea should have been shot down at the very beginning as soon as someone realized it would require Presence to come before Physical Graffiti if you wanted to have both discs of PG in the same booklet. The next packaging problem is that the CDs are housed in paper slots inside the booklets. CDs are not meant to be housed in construction paper. It scratches them every time the CDs are removed or replaced. Another stupid thing about this package is that the original cover art is shrunk down to little more than a 2 inch square.

So what we have here is shrunken cover art on booklets that present Led Zeppelin's CDs out-of-order with upside down liner notes and construction paper sleeves that scratch the CDs. This is not exactly the packaging that music of this quality deserves.

The packaging designers for this project should be ashamed of themselves. It might sound silly to harp on about this, but when the boxed set costs as much as this one does, it should be presented in a manner that is attractive, logical, and pays proper tribute to the original LP packaging. And, of course, it should be presented in a way that doesn't scratch up the CDs!

Though he rose from the ranks of journeyman '60s folksinger to become a potent and consistent '70s hit maker, Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot's stock in trade was as much hard-eyed, dispassionate observation as romance or poetic whimsy. Perhaps that's why his songs have been covered by everyone from Elvis (this set's "Early Morning Rain") to Dylan. If there's such a thing as an alpha-male folkie, Lightfoot certainly fits the bill. Spanning the tongue-in-cheek chauvinism of 1965's "For Lovin' Me" and the cheatin' ways of "Sundown" to more introspective fare like "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Beautiful," this 20-track collection presents a concise primer on Lightfoot's career and craft. After his career peaked with one of the most unlikely top five hits ever, the gloom-laden 1976 narrative "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," Lightfoot's production tailed off sharply, though this anthology's "Stay Loose" ('86) and "Restless" ('93) are testament to his enduring skills as a songwriter and performer. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

20 classic hits released by United Artists, Reprise and Warner Bros. From 1965 to 1987. features the hits 'Sundown', 'If You Could read My Mind', 'The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald', 'Carefree Highway' and many more!

Only one missing.........2007-08-06

This is a great CD, full of great music by a great folk-singer/songwriter. The only song missing that I would have loved to have added is Gordon's "Spanish Moss", a lovely and haunting song that gets stuck in my head every time I hear it. Other than that one omission, this is a perfect CD for a Lightfoot lover.

For Gordon Lightfoot Fans.......2007-07-16

This CD is a must for any Gordon Lightfoot fan. These are the original recordings done in the sixties and seventies.

If you're in a mellow mood, this is perfect.......2007-06-05

I knew many of the songs before I received this album as a gift. There were more on there that I knew and even the ones I didn't know are pretty good.

Excellent CD, Singer & Songwriter.......2007-03-28

It had been a long time since I had heard anything by Gordon Lightfoot. As I listened to the songs play, it was like he was telling me stories. Short narratives put to music & played flawlessly. Gordon Lightfoot has been a favorite of mine for some time & listening to "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald" is just awesome from beginning to end. You can feel the power of the waves hitting the freighter & the futility on the crews efforts. There were many other songs I had not heard before, but they too were just as good. That is the benefit of buying a collection of tunes on a "Greatest Hits" CD. His singing & guitar playing are very good throughout the CD. Check it out.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. That was on the top of the list. He loves it, just exactly what he wanted.

Boy, this is fun!.......2007-08-02

Elvis Presley's gospel recordings are among his best recordings. In fact, the three Grammys that Elvis won were for gospel recordings. This three CD collection features Elvis Presley's "complete" gospel recordings. Of course, it's not actually entirely complete. The Christmas related gospel songs are not included, nor are the many alternate versions of most of the songs here. But they were right to leave those recordings off, we don't need ten versions of "Reach Out To Jesus". So, what is here? Elvis' three gospel albums, the "Peace in the Valley" EP, every other studio gospel recording, a few live performances, some of the Million Dollar Quartet songs, some home recordings and more. The Million Dollar Quartet was Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash having a jam session at Sun Studios (Johnny Cash left before the tapes started rolling). The home recordings feature Elvis singing songs with his friends at home (some of these recordings are of poor sound quality). These CDs feature Elvis at his best. Elvis always put his heart into a gospel song. I highly recommend this collection.

Elvis prayed........2007-07-28

This is a very inspirational collection of Elvis's Gospel Songs.
I play it constantley when I am at my computer,and that is often.

Love IT!!!!

AWESOME!.......2007-07-10

If you enjoy gospel music -- YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET! Elvis' incredible voice is perfect for the soulful lyrics. Plus he picks up the tempo on many of them making them sound more like rock. All of my favorites are on this 3CD set - so I'm very very happy that I bought it. I highly recommend it!

This CD is great!.......2007-07-07

Elvis sings gospel songs like no other! Some of the songs are a litte rough but you have to realize some songs were recorded in his home or at the studio while he is just playing around. The first disc is more of the released songs while some of the songs on the other CD's are live versions or unreleased versions with him laughing and talking. I thoroughly love this set!

Great gospel album!.......2007-07-05

I have always thought that Elvis' voice was never better than when he was singing gospel and this album proves it! Well done remastering, clear, very good sound. Absolutely a must for people who love gospel and Elvis!!

A Superb Bach Compilation.......2007-07-27

We have now purchased three of these wonderful compilations of Bach's works - one each for our winter and summer homes and one for a friend. The collection has so far given many hours of musical pleasure and the pleasure of knowing that there are many more hours to come.

We started our listening with the d Chaconne for unaccompanied violin. The performance of this great work rivals the greatest performances we have heard. It is articulate, technically superb and the musical interpretation transcends the limitations of early music performance practice. Listening to other of the single instrument works, concerti and contatas has further underscored the excellence of this collection.

One of the nicest aspects of the collection is its presentation. Having Bach in a box is like reaching for a Whitman's chocolate - convenient and pleasurable. Though we already have thousands of classical CDs, vinyl records and tapes, we consider this collection to be a major component of our musical library. And best of all, in order to listen to the entire set, without overBaching ourselves, we will have this pleasure for many years to come.

Remarkable.......2007-07-26

This is the best deal of the decade. The quality, in general, is remarkable. You can't afford not to get it.

Amazon.com is the place that delivers good goods!.......2007-07-25

The collection is awsome. It was a gift for my son, he is a pianist, and he appreciated it immensily. I'd like to add that, after a bad experience through another e-shop, I have always recieved my purchases through Amazon. I am 100% satisfied.

Deserves 10 stars.......2007-07-18

I've been an amateur classical music enthusiast for decades with over 1000 CDs in my collection. I have listened to ALL of the CDs in this box now at least once, many of them twice and some three times, with headphones, on my stereo at home or in the car. I found all the recordings to be excellent. A couple of the vocal CDs with ADD recording are old and one could hear some background hiss with headphones but this was not noticeable playing them over the home stereo. I loved the performances. The only "disadvantage" is that all the keyboard works are played on the harpsichord, and I do prefer Bach sometimes on the piano. And one could argue whether some famous musician's interpretation of a piece is "better" than the one found here, but it's a little like arguing whether the food is better at one 5 star restaurant compared to another--both meals are delicious, and which one you enjoy more is more dependent on the context of the meal--how you feel that moment, what's going on in your life, etc.--than the food itself. But bottom line, this box contains endless treasures at an incredible bargain price, and I can't recommend it strongly enough.

Excellent Bach Collection.......2007-07-05

I am a professional musician, composer and teacher. this collection is wonderful, recorded in Europe, and all that one would expect from talent in that part of the world (which on this set includes Nordic countries as well).
If you are into studying bach, euro recordings, musicology, this is a good purchase.
Only criticism is on a few recordings the balance/mix is not the best. However, it all sounds wonderfully recorded.

Customer Reviews:

Awesome........2007-07-12

I love Lord Of The Ring soundtracks and this one is as good as the others. If you like the soundtracks you'll love the complete recordings. Thank you mister Shore for such a great time listening to this music.
Now waiting for The Return Of The King's Complete Recordings.

Amazing!.......2007-07-07

This is a must have for any Lord of the Rings fan or even any fan of music in general. I fell in love with the score to this beautiful trilogy and this complete set is perfect. I can't wait for the third installment!

Excellent recording and two formats.......2007-06-12

As of recent, I have starting collecting again film music and the Lord of the Rings complete recordings was a natural.

The sound quality is very good and the packaging would make any collector of Lord of the Rings memorabilia quite happy. (I am not a collector but still appreciate the packaging.)

Contained in the package are cds with the tracks which I aptly moved to my computer in lossless format and also a DVD. The DVD turns out to be the entire collection of the CDS presented in DVD format with a menu. - Nice touch.

While I can't tell the difference of quality between the CDs and the DVD, I like the DVD set up when I want music in the background while I am working away.

Overall, a terrific collection and some my be disuaded by the price but I found this to be a particularly good set of recordings and well worth the cost.

Both "Two Towers" and "the Fellowship" are available and I'll wait for the 3rd to become available later (hopefully).

Let's be clear here - quality recordings, two formats provided, nice packaging for those that need it and a little costly. I can live with the latter and enjoy the music as anticipated.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - The Complete Recordings.......2007-05-09

onl for collector..

A bit pricey but well worth the coin!.......2007-04-26

Before viewing The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, I didn't think that anyone with great skill was composing music in the classical, romantic period style, anymore. I stand corrected! Howard Shore's music for the three LOTRs movies just blew me away. I rarely buy movie soundtracks because the soundtracks, divorced from the movie, don't stand up as well crafted pieces of music, on their own. If you have decent speakers, in your home theater set up, and a player that decodes 5.1 DVD-Audio soundtracks (I have a player that decodes both high end audio formats: SACD and DVD-A.) The sountrack on the DVD-A disk (5.1 channel, 3D sound!!), is phenominal! The use of the human voice as both a musical instrument and in songs to convey a message is something that I especially like in classical music and is iceing on the cake in Howard Shore's compositions. That he wrote music to take advantage of the vocal skills, of each individual vocalist, is one example of many where Howard Shore went the extra mile in composing his musical masterpieces for each movie.

As fans of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy know, each film exists in two versions: the theatrical one and the extended one that appeared on DVD. This luxurious box set--which also comes with a detailed essay on the movie's musical themes--features the full extended score, so many cues not on the CDs of the individual movies are included. Granted, the majority of listeners will be perfectly happy with the shorter versions of the scores--it's a safe bet that most people can live without hearing, say, Ian McKellen's 35-second-long ditty "The Road Goes Ever On" at the beginning of "Bag End," or Viggo Mortensen's performance of his own composition, "The Song of Lúthien," within the track "The Nazgûl." But if you're a completist and/or a devotee of Howard Shore's pounding tympani and overwhelming choral compositions (featured particularly prominently on disc 3, a large chunk of which is devoted to a battle scene), then this set is a dream come true. Audiophiles should note that the fourth disc, a DVD, offers the score in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Fire up those speakers so the whole shire can hear. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

An epic film score receives epic treatment with The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings. Released for the first time on CD, the complete score for the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy contains more than 180 minutes of music on three CDs plus a DVD-Audio disc of the entire score in Surround Sound. Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy winning score compsted by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar nominated "May It Be." For fans of any of The Lord of the Rings films, the Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings is an essential experience.

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful.......2007-06-15

I picked up this set because I am both a LOTR fan, movies and books and I need music to help me work. There are some tracks that I skipped over, like the short little ditties in the bar, but many of the songs, such as the Elvish chants are easy to get lost in - its just too bad they don't last longer. The packaging really is well done, though the DVD disc was loose when I received it in the mail, but unharmed. I will have to wait until the price on the second set comes down a little more, but I can't wait for ROTK.

Awesome.......2007-06-12

This is by far the editon to get if you loved the lord of the rings soundtrack. It has every song on it from the extended edition. and the DVD-A version is very nice.

Excellent Music tracks from Movie.......2007-05-03

Brings the movie back as you listen to the full version of the track.

Complete?.......2007-04-07

This CD collection is wonderful; it has much of the material from the movie that was only included in the extended edition DVD, but it is far from complete. While it does have the complete version of "The Passing of the Elves" and two versions of "The Road Goes Ever On", many of the songs are highly incomplete and inferior to the originals. "Aniron," the theme for Aragorn and Arwen performed by Enya, is incomplete and the lyrics are hard to match to what is being sung. The sound quality for this song is even worse on the accompanying DVD, which is supposed to have all of the music in "superior sound". The song "Prophecy" is reduced to two barely-audible lines and "May It Be" is shortened and different than the original. $60 for this when there are more complete songs on the original soundtrack is ridiculous.

Great Collection, Poor Packaging.......2007-04-03

I realy can't add to what others have said about this set, the music is simply the best LOTR soundtrack collection out there! It is all here, and the contents of this set will make any LOTR fan happy and the music DVD is a great one disc addition if you want to hear the entire score in one sitting (to which I have done a number of times already).
My only complaint is the somewhat flimsy cardboard box that houses the contents of this musical treasure. Mine came damaged, and considering the price, I expected better packaging. This is a minor quabble on my part and NO, I havent returned it due to the fact that the music itself Is what I truly treasure, It just would have been nicer to have recieved it undamaged.
