The Traveling Wilburys were one of the few supergroups that lived up to their promise, because they didn't try to. Things started inauspiciously when George Harrison, needing a B-side for a 1988 single, called in friends Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison for assistance. Two albums later--the second without Orbison, who had passed away shortly after the first was released--the loose-knit collective had recorded material that was as durable, and occasionally eclipsed, the participants' legendary solo work. The Wilburys succeeded due to a genial and contagious camaraderie that permeates both discs. What could have been a train wreck of ego clashes instead resulted in a frothy meeting of the minds. These guys are having a blast, trading lead vocals and harmonies on energetic folk-rock, quirky rockabilly, and Beatlesque pop that shimmers with the respect and esteem the members clearly hold for each other. Harrison and Lynne's rather slick production polishes off edges that might better have been left unvarnished, but there's no denying the loosey-goosey craftsmanship at work in tunes such as "Handle with Care," "End of the Line," and a striking Orbison performance on "Not Alone Anymore" that ranks with any of his finest. Both albums were million-sellers, but oddly went out of print for about a decade until Rhino resurrected them, adding two rare tracks per disc as well as a DVD of music videos and a band documentary. The resulting package is a comprehensive overview of a once--well, twice--in-a-lifetime project that, especially after Harrison's passing, will never be repeated. --Hal Horowitz

Album Description

Featuring classics like "Handle With Care," "End Of The Line," and "Heading For The Light," super-group Traveling Wilbury's Collection highlights all of the band's music and previously unreleased bonus tracks through this re-mastered double album. The DVD features behind the scenes footage of the band writing and recording, along with their 5 video clips.

Alternative Rock!?!?!?!.......2007-08-06

Arrrggghh...I must be getting old, but I have a place in my heart for alternative rock, having grown up in the 80's (born 1970) and remembering when REM, U2, the Cure, Depeche Mode, the Smiths, Joy Division (etc.) were truly "alternative rock." Well anyway, Amazon has classified this excellent Traveling Wilburys set as "alternative rock," which I just don't understand. I bet that Roy, Tom, Bob, Jeff, and George had no idea they were getting together to record an "alternative rock" album (I'm sure they were highly influenced by Bauhaus and Nine Inch Nails and such). OK, off my soapbox for now, but I do recall LOVING the first Wilburys album when it came out (especially Handle with Care, such a terrific tune and one that was recently covered lovingly by Jenny Lewis)..."Tweeter and the Monkey Man" was a great Dylan tune skewering Springsteen...these guys were at the top of their game for the first CD. The second one was inevitably a letdown, but still had a few good songs. This was one of the more fun "supergroup" projects ever (the key: they did NOT take themselves too seriously on here).

The Traveling Wilburys.......2007-08-05

I really liked my purchase. When I heard the Traveling Wilburys had just released this CD I looked on BMG and they didn't even have it for sale. I got two CD's and a DVD for a great price of $19.95!

A historical event in rock music retrieved and completed.......2007-08-05

If you are a Harrison, Dylan, Petty, or Orbison (what a voice!) fan, then this musical package should interest you. If a fan of more than one or all, then what are you waiting for? A historical event in rock music, one of the top 100 albums, as rated by Rolling Stone Magazine. The DVD is very interesting, nicely explaining the genesis and creation of the first album and the character of the ensemble. I already owned the original CD, but glad I also bought this. Phenomenal! Everyone in your family may enjoy this one.

A classic for your music collection.......2007-08-05

I jumped on the chance to buy the re-release of these albums. I didn't buy them the first time around.I love every song on these CD's. The package presentation is nice, along with the booklet and bonus dvd (take the time to watch it- it's really interesting)It's the best $20 I've spent in a while.

Happy hubby.......2007-08-03

My husband is so happy that I was able to find this CD. And buy it. He loves it. He has been looking for this CD a long time. It was wonderful to be able to buy it new. Thank you very much. I look forward to buy from Amazon again.

Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

Amazon.com essential recording

Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One have released this single-disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though obviously superfluous to the faithful (who may also find themselves quibbling over the precise definition of "No. 1 hit" and the exclusion of seeming contenders like "Please Please Me" and "Strawberry Fields"), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades star cluster and other neophytes will find it a concise and generous (nearly 80 minutes) single-disc introduction to the band's career-spanning, unparalleled dominance of pop music in the 1960s. But beyond being a mere trophy case of commercial success (and it won't be hard to find critics who'll argue that these singles aren't even the band's best work), it's also a Cliff's Notes take on a remarkable seven-year run of musical evolution, one that stretches from the neo-skiffle of "Love Me Do" through a remarkable synthesis of R&B, rockabilly, Tin Pan Alley, gospel, country, and classical that still defies efforts to effectively deconstruct it. This is the pop monument equivalent of the '27 Yankees and '90s Bulls; it's every bit as obvious and dominating--and just as essential. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Nothing to complain about in my opinion.......2007-08-04

I normally write long, progressive reviews, but considering who I'm reviewing, I'll make this short and sweet.
Different people will say different things about "1". Some will say it needs the more cult classics of songs such as "Strawberry Fields Forever", or "I Am The Walrus", but "1" reflects the more pop side of the Beatles. It shows how they dominated the American and English charts in their time. In addition, just the fact that they can put 27 songs on one disc makes me happy.
Opinions aside, this is the greatest rock and roll ever. What more can there be said? The Beatles = Timeless music. 1 = Five-star album for me. Thanks for the time, and peace.

Great CD.......2007-07-25

This CD is Great! Its the first thing that a person should get if they're just discovering the beatles. A great example of the beatles

All the # 1 hits of the Beatles........2007-07-18

This record has all the number one hits in the history of the Beatles, what you can add to that.

John, Paul, George, and Ringo. If this phrase does not move you then you should go back to your George Michael videos and prey he'll become heterosexual! This is everything that you remember from the Beatles.

great collection.......2007-07-06

Beatles 1 is a good collection of the Beatles #1 hit singles. Perfect for the casual Beatles fan or for someone just being introduced to the Beatles music for the first time. If you are interested in hearing more Beatles music, collect their albums. Depending on your taste, you can get their early 60s stuff or their late 60s stuff or both time periods. Personally, I enjoy their early 60s stuff more than their late 60s stuff and have a collection of their early 60s albums.

A Little Less Conversation (JXL Radio Edit Remix) (Bonus Track)

Amazon.com

In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational "A Little Less Conversation" remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the '87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. "In the Ghetto" and "Burning Love" never reached the top there, nor did "Way Down," despite every copy of that 45 selling out on both sides of the Atlantic following Presley's 1977 death. Instead, the new compilers have used the major pop charts in both the U.S. (including Cashbox) and U.K. to determine inclusions. The tracks have all been remixed from original masters, which proves awesome at best (some of the songs have never sounded crisper if, at times, slightly antiseptic) and problematic at worst. Purists will definitely quibble. "A Fool Such As I," for instance, sounds like Elvis rerecorded his vocals. Hank Garland's great guitar solo also sounds different. It might be an alternate take. That's definitely the case with "The Wonder of You." A few lyrics are even different, meaning this isn't the same version as the original 45. Of course, none of that should matter to the youngsters who've been singing along to "Hound Dog" on the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, or to any other newcomers. Despite the complaints, this is arguably the best single disc Elvis primer to date. Real fans will want to explore much deeper for treasures to be found, but albums like this guarantee that this is one king who will deservedly live very long, if not forever. --Bill Holdship

This is a great CD. All of the songs brought back the evidence of Elvises' great talent to all who have heard it.

I am very happy with this cd/it starts out early elvis and rocks all the way through as none other than Elvis could do...actually a good sound and certainly not a disappointment...I recommend this cd as a good purchase.

elvis 30 #1 hits.......2007-06-12

I justdo not think that this cd was properly remastered. Unlike elvis 2nd to none,which sounded great, the sound quality is lacking on this cd.

Phenomenal.......2007-05-28

What an incredible collection of music. I may even be in the minority, but I thought many of the songs on the Second to None CD were just as good, and in some case better, than many of the offerings here. To put both together provides some of the greatest sounding songs ever released. Elvis was more than just a singer and performer. He is truly an American Icon. His voice and music are timeless and the grea thing about this CD, is that it opened the door for a lot of listeners who may not have been familiar with the great songs that are classics now and will remain so. I think it may be about time for "Third Times a Charm" for those other gems that fell a little short of the other classics.

One of the Best !!!.......2007-04-11

This collection of Elvis' work is one of the BEST purchase values as far as content and cost go. We are part of the generation that grew up listening to him and were extremely pleased with this large selection of his hits. If you want most of the songs you are familiar with and ones that were his biggest hits, this album is the best bet for your money !!!

Lame.......2007-07-22

I was really disappointed in this CD. I was expecting a toned-down version of real classical music, but it sounds really fake and tinkley and weird. Not soothing at all.

Sounds like a cheap plastic toy.......2007-06-20

I have these DVD's and I can tell you that they will not be a huge part of my baby's development. I received them as a gift from someone that thinks that all you need to do is plunk your child in front of a TV all day without giving the baby any attention. You can see why these DVD's are popular at Day Care Centers or what I like to call, "Concentration camps for baby's with lazy parents", because they know that they can sit their kid/baby in front of the TV and let them turn into a thoughtless zombie while they listen to Baby Einstein totally ruin classics by Bach and DeBussy by playing the music with very cheap midi keyboards. I can get better quality music by whistling Dixie with a mouth-full of saltine crackers.

Also, it has been proven that classical music has nothing to do with the cognitive development of young people. Now, teach them how to play piano or violin and you have yourself an actual YOUNG EINSTEIN, but listening to this kind of music does nothing for the development of the brain. It is just for lazy parents that can't sit down with their kids and play with them or read them a book.

its a good product with very fine music and my toddler realizes that it is sleep time, if I play it. he goes to bed and sleeps after a couple songs. I have trouble in some songs are some months.. dont know why.

Kid's Music.......2007-06-08

I bought this CD for my grandniece, but after listening to it, I determined that no one would ever play this for her except me. I would have kept it for myself but I have the grown-up versions of each of the classical masterpieces on this CD. So, I ended up returning it for a full refund. If you want your kids to be exposed to classicl music, it's a great buy. But if you don't think they will get to listen to it, don't waste your time.

Log onto an India.Arie lyrics page and you won't come away expecting an easy-breezy listen--here's an artist, remember, who made a name for herself by declaring her disdain for silicone and Cristal on her 2001 debut. What's consistently a revelation for new recruits to the Arie camp, then, is how good the music makes you feel. No matter how heavy the subject matter (and it still gets heavy--God surfaces in the first verse of "Intro," the prayerful opening song), she delivers it in such a way that it ends up feeling like homespun wisdom--accessible, cloudless, and heartening. Testimony, no minor R&B/soul achievement, is full of such earth-mother moments: "The Heart of the Matter," a cover of the Don Henley song, is what a hug might sound like if it were music; "There's Hope" reminds tunefully that you don't have to pay to smile ("You better thank God for that"); "Private Party" points up the benefits of getting naked before a mirror and liking what you see (impossible as that sounds, it'll seem less so after listening); and "I Am Not My Hair," a sexy thumper featuring Akon, celebrates not the hair, not the skin, but "the soul that lives within." Musically, "Testament" is a testament to the benefits of branching out; in addition to gospel and hip-hop, you'll also find country and pure pop forays here. All of it works, and works wondrously. Arie may be the Oprah of the music world: she's spiritual, she's got her head screwed on straight, and whatever she touches turns to gold. Or at least it ought to. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

Great Album.......2007-07-20

I can't lie, I am more of a hip-hop head than a R&B guy, but I can't front this is a great album. I heard a song from this album playing in someone else's car one day when I was coming from work and had to get it just to see how it was and I love it. This is great chill music. India.Arie is a great artist and deserves alot more acclaim than she already gets from the poetry, jazz club, type of crowd that she normally receives it from. Great overall album.

All Time Favorite Album Right Now!.......2007-07-17

India's lyrics really speak from her soul without any sugar coating or whining. On top of that she is rhythmically and melodically talented. She keeps it real and I love her for that. Very inspirational! I recommend this album to anyone who loves r & b and has been craving some r & b with inspirational, moving lyrics that you can identify with.

As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's "I Can't Quit You Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Times" into near-cartoon parodies, the band also hinted at things to come with the manic "Communication Breakdown" and the lumbering set stopper "Dazed and Confused." --Billy Altman

MASTERPIECE from 1968 that still holds extreme value!.......2007-07-31

They all clamber for the fourth album, the Zoso album, or they talk and they talk about this album or that album or yadda yadda yadda! Enough with the gibberish, the First album...this one, the self titled one, is the one to behold. Still phenomenal after all this time has passed...can you believe this album is nearly 40 years old? Just amazing, but what came after it is not what I am here to review, it is this album. Communication Breakdown bombs in and takes you for a pretty raw and fun ride! I won't go into detail but every song is a work of art when it comes to Rock and Roll. If you don't have this album you should, it is one of the best overall albums in Rock history next to the likes of Dark Side of the Moon and so on and so forth.

Jimmy Page is on guitar and with Plant at the mic, this thing was just the beginning...but even then it is such a superb album filled with soul, rock and roll, and metal. Long Live Led Zeppelin!

Biggest ripoff in the history of music!.......2007-07-05

I understand I am about to anger many legions of Led Zeppelin fans. Unfortunately not all Zeppelin fans have done their homework as well as Page and Plant and company did for this album. Here they shamelessly steal from other artists' songs and put their names on them for songwriting credits!! Don't believe me? Well, here goes.

1) Good Times Bad Times-A great Zeppelin tune, hands down! Unfortunately it is the only one they truly wrote for this album.

2) Babe I'm Gonna leave You-Another great Zeppelin tune? Not quite. This is a dead ripoff of Joan Baez's version of an Ann Breden song of the same title. Check it out...same lyrics and music. How Zeppelin originally credited themselves for writing this song is despicable.

3) You Shook Me-A Credited Willie Dixon tune. However, if you listen to Jeff Beck's version on Truth, you will find shocking similarities.

4) Dazed and Confused- A Zeppelin warhorse if there ever was one. Too bad the song is a dead ripoff of Jake Holmes' song titled, of course, Dazed and Confused. Oh, it's just a title you say? Listen to Holmes' version and you will hear the same exact riff! When Page was with The Yardbirds, Holmes was an opening act and hence, Page's introduction to a song he would selfishly give himself credit for writing.

5) Your Time Is Gonna Come-Listen to the intro to this song and then listen to Traffic's Dear Mr. Fantasy and tell me if you don't see a similarity, or in fact, a carbon copy!

6) Black Mountain Side-This is laughable!! Bert Jansch wrote and performed a song titled..HAHA, Black Water Side. Interesting to note that the riffs are shockingly similar..And it makes me wonder...

7) Communication Breakdown-A rewrite of Eddie Cochran's Nervous Breakdown.

8) I Can't Quit You Baby-Another Willie Dixon cover which they appropriately give him credit for. A rarity on this release.

9) How Many More Times-What do you get when you combine a Howlin' Wolf cover of How Many More Years and Albert King's The Hunter? You get THIS song credited to Zeppelin as writers.

Don't believe me? If you can find the above mentioned songs I DARE you to play them back to back with the Zeppelin versions. Zeppelin proves, on this release anyway, that they were the greatest cover band in the history of music. I am sickened and disappointed. How sad that such great musicians can so obviously rip off other artists and not give them credit for these songs. Pathetic, actually.

Sadly, these are not the only songs in Zeppelin's catalogue that are partially or fully taken from other artists that Zeppelin shamelessy wears as their own. I also have references for Stairway to Heaven, Custard Pie, Whole Lotta Love, The Lemon Song, In My time Of Dying, When the Levee Breaks..etc..Yes, eventually Zep DID give SOME artists their just due...after being sued. You can argue and say Who Cares? These versions are great, and that may very well be. But the truth should be known and if you ARE going to listen to Zeppelin at least be aware of what has taken place. It's ok to cover someone else's song...IF YOU GIVE THEM PROPER CREDIT WITHOUT PASSING IT OFF AS YOUR OWN AND DECEIVING THE PUBLIC. As a music fan, I am insulted. Why do you think Zep sold all the rights to their songs to Atlantic Records? One word: Lawsuits!

These 'Gods' of rock are thieves and if you're serious about music and care anything about artistic integrity you should be at least a little bit angry at this deceitfulness. If you're not then either integrity means nothing to you OR you are as big a thief as Page and comp. were.

Zeppelin's First.......2007-06-22

And in my opinion it is still the best.
Led Zeppelin I began the start of the world's most famous and most influential heavy bluesy folk rock band ever. Also Led Zep are cited as pioneers of heavy metal (although 1/3 of I's music was acoustic) just before Black Sabbath hit.
Advancing the sound of Cream, Led Zeppelin created a sound that was unique and one that was all their own back in 1969. Heck, Led Zeppelin advanced the boundaries of Rock 'n' Roll and inspired millions of others in their wake.
Besides The Beatles, Led Zeppelin was the first Rock band that I have ever heard and got into.
My Father used to shake the whole house while playing "Dazed and Confused" late at night, almost every night downstairs in our basement at that time. Slowly the song crept into my thoughts and introduced me to a whole "new" sound being only 9 or 10 years old.
I can still feel the vibrations under my feet from listening to that deep descending bassline that begans "Dazed and Confused". Still my favorite song on this, their debut.
"Good Times Bad Times" kicks this album off and early on in my childhood this was one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. It's just really catchy and upbeat & contains a swirling guitar effect set by Jimmy Page(one of the greatest guitarists ever).
"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is still one of the most beautiful and most memeorable acoustic tracks that I have ever heard - "I Can hear it Calling me..." - The song was inspired by Joan Baez's song from 1962.
Other favorites of mine include : "Communication Breakdown" and "How Many More Times" - which in the early days was also Led Zep's (The Hammer Of the Gods) closing number during concert tours.
Led Zeppelin's First will always be one of my All-Time Favorite albums and it also holds one of my fondest childhood memories.

classic blues rock.......2007-06-17

You know, I think by this point, Zeppelin's first album is now my favorite. The following four albums have been played quite frequently through the years (yes, even Zeppelin III). The original has been played just as much (I won't deny that) but there's something about the first album that just stays with me through the years.

Maybe it's the fact that the production is amazing for 1969 standards. Seriously, how many albums back then were this loud? Maybe Tommy from the Who. I can't think of many others. Black Sabbath's debut was released a year later, so that doesn't count.

Anyway, I really like what Zeppelin was doing here. You have fairly lengthy and successful attempts at blues rock, with extraordinary jamming skills scattered throughout the album. Zeppelin was just not the same after this one. I especially love the drumming and the creepy bass work. Great album.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... Led Zeppelin.......2007-05-12

Led Zeppelin I (1969) Led Zeppelin's first studio album.

Out of the ashes of the Yardbird's came rock's most skilled - if not most important - guitarist of all time. Jimmy Page, joining forces with Plant, Jones, and Bonham, formed what would become the definitive hard rock band. Not only did Led Zeppelin help define a new genre of rock, they explored every possible point. This album was the jumping point.

Let's cut to the chase; it don't matter how these four geniuses came together, the important thing is that they did. The music here is very good, several of which are classic rock radio staples. The opener "Good Times, Bad Times" is a relatively soft introduction to what the rest of the album had in store. The slow blues of "Dazed and Confused" and manic rush of "Communication Breakdown" as well as the great instrumental "Black Mountain Side" help to create with a single stroke Zeppelin's distinctive sound.

I own the original vinyl from 1969, and this transfer is wonderful. But it's expected; Page is so darn protective of his (or their) music that he wouldn't settle for a remaster that didn't sound excellent. This is one of the greater albums of all time, yet is not the finest in the Zeppelin catalog. Anyone who is looking to get into Zeppelin should not start here, though; "IV" is the best place to go first, followed by "II" and "Physical Graffiti".

Great Children's CD.......2007-07-12

I grew up listening to these songs on an old record that my parents had. We lost the record and I searched for these songs for my new little baby girl. I am so happy that I found it on Amazon and that my baby girl gets to grow up with the same classics that I did when I was a kid. The CD is wonderful and the price was even better.

Aww the good old times!.......2007-06-18

I grew up with this music!! My dad bought the records when I was little, YES records! Im 25yrs old so this was the late the 80's when he purchased it. Now I have the opportunity to introduce this to my children! I'm so glad they are continuing to sell this music because I loved it as a child. I still remember taking the records out and asking my parents to play it.

Walt Disney CD: Characters Do Not Sing.......2007-06-06

I'm a little disappointed. I purchased this CD thinking The Disney Characters would be singing the songs. My son was all excited when I showed him the CD and asked me to play it. When he heard it he said "this is not Mickey Mouse". He was very sad. The songs on this CD are sung by children. The CD is ok.

Garbage.......2007-05-13

Really very boring and campy - I can't bear to listen and wish I could return it. In fact all of the Disney Lullabuys and children's songs were downright horrible. Stick with Baby Einstein, Rock a Bye Baby and Just for Kids - Curious George is great too

Yeah!.......2007-03-04

Much better than all of those other randon baby CD's where all of the songs sound exactly the same and sound like they are sung by chipmunks!!

Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music's growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit. Many of the band's singles hold up extremely well, later tracks such as "Hammer to Fall" as much as prime-era numbers such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Killer Queen," and "You're My Best Friend." The quartet's canny sense of melody and sophisticated vocal harmonies--not to mention Mercury's raised eyebrow--have traveled well through the years. --Rickey Wright

Great Memories.......2007-07-20

This 2 cd set is a great sound of their best songs.The lyrics are written with a message for the listener.You will have a great experience just listening to the wonderful sound that you will hear

Interested in early Queen?.......2007-07-18

FYI - if it's early Queen you're interested in - you know, stuff before that lemon of an album "Bicycle Races" - I strongly urge you to buy the original albums (starting with "A Day at the Races").

Queen Greatest Hits.......2007-07-16

I really started to like Queen recently. Bohemian rhapsody is such a great song and really gets you moving. My husband likes running to this music. I am still getting used to some of the other songs, but I really like this CD. Whenever I listen to We Are the Champions, I think of the episode of Cheers when all of the bar boys pounded on the bar to this song. It's fun. As always, Amazon seems to have the best prices. I don't have to pay shipping or tax and save an additional dollar or two on top of that.

Holy Moleee Canoli! Camooosh this is a piece of GOLD.......2007-05-23

This creation is one remarkable piece of history! I'm so thankful I got it, and for such a nice price you get almost 40 songs! With their incorporation of piano and Freddie Mercury's voice, and their guitarist- this thing just blows out your ears in amazement. I had heard so many of these songs on the radio, but who knew they did all of them? Bicycle Race first annoyed me with so much repitition, but with my love for bike-riding, it's become a motto for me to. Killer Queen is just WOWZERs... so sexy and loaded. And there's tons more, but I'll save those as super surpise you'll be glad you got!

Best Double Box Set Ever.......2007-05-09

What can I say?!!?
Queen was the best - the songs are brilliant and theatrical.
Freddy M. will be forever one of the best performers - EVER.

Thanks for the greatest box set at the greatest price, Amazon!

Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

This is a grand list of songs from the original musical when it was first introduced in England. The songs from ABBA are very recognizable even if you haven't seen the show. But, making a trip to NY to see the Broadway production is a plus. ENJOY!

JUST GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-08

I RECENTLY SAW THE SHOW MAMMA MIA IN LAS VEGAS. ALWAYS LIKES THE MUSIC OF ABBA, AND THOUGH THE PLOT WAS THIN, THE MUSIC WAS WELL PERFORMED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM, THE ENGLISH ACCENTS WERE A BIT MUCH, BUT THE SONGS WERE GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA.
