Excellent!!!.......2007-08-02
Excellent transaction. Would not hesitate to buy again from this seller. Product was delivered promptly and as described.
good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27
We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.
memories.......2007-02-22
This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended
TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13
This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.
TV themes.......2006-07-05
Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

It's always a challenge to try and crystallize the experience of seeing a great band in their prime, but this album establishes a case for Emerson Lake & Palmer as one of the great live bands in rock history. Recorded during their "Someone Get Me A Ladder" tour of 1973-74, Welcome Back My Friends... showcases this incredible three-piece at the height of their power. Completely remastered from the original master tapes. Detailed liner notes by music journalist Steve Hochman.

Applause for Applause!.......2006-07-13
I recomend this cd to all theater fans. Even the ones who love a great, toe tapping score. The song they sing in titled Applause can be seen in the Bonus Performances on the DVD titled Broadways Lost Treasueres. That is how I first heard of Applause. It was very entertaining!
Lauren Bacall !.......2005-07-09
Based on the classic movie "All About Eve", Lauren Bacall won a Tony for her performance in this great musical.
Best tracks include:
But Alive
Applause [Bonnie Franklin of "One Day At A Time" fame!]
Something Greater
Not all the songs are great, but totally worth the buy!
Love it.......2004-04-01
Love the CD ( I have had the vinyl recording ever since it came out), but wish it could be released on Video or DVD(does anyone out there know if this will ever happen?). I saw the television production with Lauren Bacall and Larry Hagman back in the early 1970's and saw an amateur production of it here in Melbourne as well and having always loved the whole concept of the movie, I feel that it transferred well to the stage.
Welcome CD edition of the original Broadway cast album.......2004-01-17
First... a request to people reviewing stage cast albums, Several reviews refer to these recordings as "soundtracks."
WRONG!!!!
"Soundtrack" recordings are records/cds transfered from from movies ONLY.
Live theatre does not use pre-recorded "soundtracks" - the casts perform live on stage and these "original cast recordings" are made in recording studios and designed for home listening.
PLEASE.... maintain your credibility by using the correct term!
************
Finally, after years of negotiation Decca Broadway is making the 1970 Tony winning musical APPLAUSE avaialble on Cd. Was it worth the wait? Well, yes and no. APPLAUSE is one of those late 60's musicals adapted from a hit play/novel/movie and offering lots of glitz and energy to cover up the deficiencies of the show itself.
Star Lauren Bacall provided the "star" quality though she has no real singing voice but as an actress she rises above it bringing the character to vivid life. Len Cariou sings well as Bacall's boyfriend but has very little to do.
Bacall gets the key gems and with two major exceptions any of the numbers in which she does not appear can be ignored. The first exception is the lively title song - a tribute to the power of applause. It has almost nothing to do with the plot but still stopped the show nightly. The other,is a dramatic soliloque for Penny Fuller in the (virtually) non-singing role of Eve: "One Hallowe'en." This is Eve's big moment to really show her true colours and Fuller makes the most of it. Missing from the recording - becasue it is a dialogue scene - is the following moments when Eve recieves humiliating comeuppance.
The original Lp release was done by ABC records and had an annoying "boxy" sound quality that has not been corrected on the cd. The very short selection has been filled out with demo recordings by composer Charles Strouse and a couple of the cut songs sound quite interesting. Packaging is up to Decca Broadway's usual high standards.
lauren.......2003-12-04
i have a copy of this recording on LP, and have enjoyed it for approx 25 yrs. couldn't wait for the cd. bought it the first time i saw it.
i am wondering if anyone has seen the tv production of APPLAUSE starring LAUREN broadcast circa 1974 on tv? and is there any possibility of obtaining a copy on anything? the production was FANTISTIC, to say the least!!!

Released during the era of leisure suits and pet rocks, the film Superman: The Movie has aged about as well. But the often-clumsy charms of Richard Donner's cartoonish, hit-and-miss take on the Man of Steel was blessed with at least one superlative artistic effort: John Williams's epic score. The composer's Oscar-nominated music (coming on the heels of Star Wars and Close Encounters) was a wall-to-wall heroic symphony, rife with memorable melodies and ominous arrangements. Almost every original cut on this soundtrack appears in an expanded version, supplemented by nearly a dozen previously unreleased cues and alternate takes. Featuring a deluxe slipcase and extensive, new liner notes, this is the definitive release of one of Maestro Williams's greatest scores. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Original 1978 Recording?.......2007-04-04
FIVE STAR FOR MUSIC. 1 STAR FOR AUDIO. Ok I've wanted this recording for almost 4 years. Now I got it. I am a discerning listener. This soundtrack is not the best quality. Tape hiss is very pronounced. You can tell it's taken directly from a cassette recording. I have other digital recordings of this music. They are miles ahead of this cd. Soundtrack is on the Rhino label. What? Rhino is not known for high fidelity. So it is very deceiving for one to buy a cd thinking it's John Williams conducting on a new recording in 1998 or whenever. It's the actual 1978 recording. Now let me unleash my rage. This thing sounds as if it's recorded with a single microphone in a bathroom, at a truck stop. Yes the music is phenomenal. My favorite track is #2 Krypton. I was hoping to discover some new hidden melodies that I've never heard in previous recording (original 1978). Nope. This IS the 1978 recording. So I will be getting the Debney recording just so I can hear what I'm missing. Love the music. Just can't hear it. ALL OF IT! But cool booklet. I can't listen to a booklet. But I got it. Whoopee.
AWESOME! John Williams shows again why he's the master of movie scores.......2006-08-31
After over a year of trying to find a seller of this fine soundtrack, I finally found it! It is high time that the full score was released on CD.
The original soundtrack release from 1978, while still an excellent collection, was sadly lacking in several of the best cues from the film. Most important of these was Track 12 (Disc 1) in which the helicopter crashes on the Daily Planet's roof and dangles precariously above the street. Williams builds on it, introducing Superman's theme into it as Clark Kent runs across the street, then rips open his shirt to reveal the 'S' - the symbol of the House of El - then enters the revolving door & exits as Superman. At the end of this is one of my favorite cues; the Superman theme is played as the Man of Steel appears above Metropolis, flying over the city on the hunt for criminals. 'Crime of the Century' (Track 6, Disc 2) was one of my favorite cues; this one portrayed the missile convoy as it made its way along the freeway, where Luthor staged the accident to get his cronies close enough to sabotage the missiles. There are too many new tracks to list here that should have been included the first time around, just a lack of space precluded this from happening.
Is John Williams Superman???.......2006-08-20
After listening to the CD, John Williams must be Superman. By far, the greatest movie score ever written.
Excellent!.......2006-08-10
Other than the over kill of "Can you read my mind", an excellent collection.
Hector, about the liner notes..........2006-07-14
I have the previous edition, and the notes that came with it were nestled next to the CD in a thick booklet (with a cover of Reeve in front of an American flag) that was large enough for the slipcase cover, but too big to fit into the CD case front. Otherwise, the one-sheet cover that came with your soundtrack is identical to the slipcase version.

Customer Reviews:
A Good Remastering of the Classic Album.......2007-07-31
The sound quality on this release is excellent. I have a number of ELP releases in this series from Sanctuary and they're all really good soundwise. The extra liner notes on each release are also nice. Also the song Tarkus is presented as a single track and is not spliced. On the original vinyl release, this version of Tarkus was too long for a single side of vinyl and had to be cut and placed on two sides. This 20 minute plus extravaganza version of Tarkus is great to listen to without any interruptions! Overall, the album showcases ELP in their prime, and is definitely one of their better live albums. Especially recommended for ELP fans.
A stellar album from three musicians who've yet to be bested by anyone!.......2007-07-23
This is a phenominal musical achievement. The amount of music these three individuals produced was extraordinary. The level of talent shown by Emerson, in particular, is unmatched to this day. But all three, including Lake and Palmer were superlative musicians. What you hear on this album encapsulates the musical brilliance of these three individuals. How they integrate classical compositions and turn them into their own unique statement with bravura performances by each astounds the ears to this day. I cannot think of another rock album which matches the level of musicianship shown by just three musicians. Honestly, if you don't like this album then you really have no appreciation for the stellar musicianship put on display. Emerson, Lake and Palmer should be enshrined foreever as musicians who came together to form one of the most unique and phenominal bands in rock music history. Each cut on this album shows how marvelous the band was both as band playing together and individually, with Greg Lake performing on guitar alone on some of his own beautific compositions.

I like mase and I think this album is better then the ones he did before I hope he keeps improving!
MA$E IS AMAZING.......2006-07-08
Most of you people have no idea what you are talking about. Mase has some pretty sick lyrics, many people have good songs but not very good lyrics. Some very few artists with good lyrics and songs are Mase, Eminem, Ludacris, Nitty, and Kanye West. For example, in Mase's last song on his cd "Do You Remember", the first verse of his is genius and he does it without any profanity which is very refreshing! I know he might not be at the level of some of these rappers but I think he has alot more talent than a 50 Cent or T.I. If you want a cd with alot of decent beats, sick lyrics, and refreshingly clean style.. then this is the cd for you!! you wont be disappointed!
Welcome Back.......2006-03-12
After being absent for 5 years, I didnt expect this CD to be anything special especially after hearing "Welcome Back" on TV. Most of the songs have tight beats, but Mase's lyrics are lacking in some spots. But I do agree, I thought he was a saved man now. But now he's with G Unit, I guess not
should have stayed gone we don't miss you.......2006-03-01
mase came back cause he wanted the money he ain't no freaking preacher for real now he's talking about gang banging and degrading females like anyone really takes this idiot seriously yeah 50 cent pumped this fool's head to where he can be murda mase this cd and every other piece of trash won't sell.
Best Rapper Ever!!!.......2006-02-23
I know, I know, ppl are gonna be pissed by me sayin Ma$e is the best rapper ever. I know talent wise he isn't on the level of Pac,Big,Em,Jay or Nas but Ma$e has always been my favorite rapper ever since I first heard him back in'97. Ma$e isn't a Bad Boy General anymore, he's G-Unit Soldier and I can't wait for his G-Unit cd to drop!!! Ma$e got so much style, and orignality. MA$e started the laid back flow and was the originator of the Bling Era and popularized R&B/Rap!!! M-A-$-E best rapper EVER!!!

"Welcome Back" should've been called "See ya Later".......2007-03-08
First of all: I've come to appreciate Sebastian through his work with the Spoonful. That being said: this has always been one of the my favorite Sebastian solo LPs. This album was also Sebastian's first after returning to his native New Yawk - at least in attitude. Sebastian's earlier solo albums suffer, if anything, from too much of the tye-dyed California mentality, imo.
On this release, he lets loose his eclectic nature: In a span of 30 minutes he does pop (Hideaway, Welcome Back), country (A Song a Day In Nashville), calypso (One Step Forward Two Steps Back), blues (She's Funny, Didn't Want To Have To Do It) -- all in his trademark style.
After 1975's "Welcome Back," though, Sebastian wouldn't make another album until 1992 (Tar Beach -- his most recent solo). Overall: Sebastian only made 5 solo albums since leaving the Spoonful, a few live albums, and 2 magnificent CDs with his current bandmates: the J-Band (the last one being in 1999. Anymore coming?). Not exactly prolific, but if you like the Spoonful, and would appreciate another spoonful of Sebastian's gift for songcraft, this is a good LP to "welcome back" such a listener with.
+ 1/2 stars...Sebastian's Swan Song for Warner/Reprise.......2007-02-25
This was John Sebastian's 1976 swan song for Warner Reprise. In fact, Sebastian had been half-heartedly negotiating to be let out of his contract because the label obviously wasn't really interested in promoting him. After all, his only charting single for the label was "She's a Lady" in 1969, and it peaked at a meager No. 84. Then he was asked to write and record a theme song for a new TV sitcom that was going to be called "Kotter." He quickly wrote and recorded "Welcome Back." It went to No. 1 and became the biggest hit of Sebastian's solo career. Of course, the label wanted to take advantage of Sebastian's sudden high profile and pushed him into the studio with producer Steve Barri (who had also produced the hit "Happy Days" by Pratt & McClain).
Because of the studio's eagerness to get the album on the market, it was recorded quickly and Sebastian has lamented his opportunity to "give that album the kind of diversity that the other albums had." All ten tracks are Sebastian originals, and there are some terrific songs here. "Hideaway" is a lively number propelled by a Farfisa organ that was released as a follow-up single, but only made it to No. 95 (the last time Sebastian would hit the Hot 100). "She's Funny" is a typically wonderful ballad featuring Sebastian's soulful harmonica playing. He also revisits a couple of Spoonful tunes, "Didn't Wanna Have To Do It" and "Warm Baby." But the gem is the countryish "Song a Day in Nashville" with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers) on pedal steel. [It's also worth pointing out that that noted sessionmen David Hungate (bass) and Jeff Porcaro (drums) were used on much of the album who two years later would be founding members of Toto.]
It's not Sebastian's best album, but there are enough strong tracks to make this a worthy addition to your collection. [Running Time - 33:03] RECOMMENDED
