Where would the '80s have been without the Pet Shop Boys? Discography makes a compelling case for the notion of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe as pioneers, if not geniuses. Mixing the cold feel of Euro-techno beats with the Boys' quest for something warm between the sheets, "What Have I Done to Deserve This" and "Suburbia" sound almost soulful. Although they seemed to be suffering from a terminal case of boredom, they managed to alchemize their ennui into touching sentimentality in "Love Comes Quickly," "Rent," and, especially, the AIDS-oriented "Being Boring." Discography begins with the Pet Shop Boys' beginning, "West End Girls," traveling past "Domino Dancing" and including their covers "Always on My Mind," and the medley "Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You.)" --Steve Gdula

5 out of 5 stars A blast from start to finish.......2007-02-13

You cannot hate these guys. Sure they get a little silly with the lyrics at times but what they do well is make catchy pop/dance music and they don't stray. At no point in history of the band has this simple concept been forgotten. They do what they do best and that's enough for this listener.

A song like 'Being Boring' is just plain amazing. But there's lots and lots more. If you love anything about 80s pop music then you will not be wasting one penny on this stellar collection. It's the first 18 singles the band released. Even today I'm in awe of the consistency of this band.


5 out of 5 stars Number One Fan's Husband.......2007-01-22

I bought this for my wife for Christmas as she is a mad Pet Shop Boys fan and I think she has played it every day since. Outstanding, fun complilation.

5 out of 5 stars Suburbia!.......2006-09-25

I have to say that this is my second compact disc because the other one got scratched up. I decided since I love their music to buy another one because the one hit that I love the most is Suburbia. I love listening to it over and over again. I love the other hits like West End Boys and What have I done to deserve this? and others on this collection. I love the sound and keep thinking about London, England and being on the underground or the tube. It's quite a great collection!

5 out of 5 stars 1984 West End Girls version?.......2006-08-28

While I like the 1986 version of WEGs, I LOVE the original 1984 version better. Does anyone know if it is available on CD?

5 out of 5 stars Is $14.98 too much to ask for one perfect pop song?.......2006-06-28

Are you the kind of person who would spend $3.50 for the perfect oyster at a raw bar? How about $7.00 for a perfectly drawn pint of ale in a midtown New York bar? Then dropping $35.00 for a t-shirt because it was made in the US or $18.00 for that small jar of cashews from the minibar because you 'just had to have something to munch on" before going to dinner? If you answered yes to any of the above, you would have no problem dropping the full price (Amazon, $14.98) to have a red-book CD copy (no inferior compressed downloads, thank you) of the perfect pop song, "What have I done to Deserve this?" from Pet Shop Boys. One of the most beautifully sung and arranged female pop vocals ever recorded is to be found on this one song. It is well known that Dusty Springfield demanded several run-throughs and takes to make this cut. She is said to have sweated every single note to perfection because she felt so strongly about her performance. Believe me, it shows. Perfection. You also get the unrivalled, unmatched 80's pop and dance-beat mastery with all the other selections that only the "Boys" were able to create. And all for only $14.98.

Some of the greatest music I have ever heard. The man is a genious and way underrated!

3 out of 5 stars ONLY FOR AVID BILLY JOEL FANS.......2007-04-16

Unless you are a die hard Billy Joel fan, this boxed set is not for you. It does not even live up to its name "Complete Hits Collection" because some of his hits have not been included notably "Sometimes A Fantasy" which was a top 40 hit and cannot as far as I know be found on any one of the numerous collections of Billy Joel retrospectives that have been issued over the years. For those of you who like his songs and would prefer a more handy and reasonably comprehensive collection I would recommend acquiring "Billy Joel The Ultimate Collection" which has 36 tracks including most of his hits. What's more, the lyrics for all the 36 songs are also provided and the sound quality is good too.

5 out of 5 stars Billy Joel - 1973-97-Complete Hits Collection .......2007-03-27

Grew up listening to Billy Joel, but never owned an album. Became re-interested in his music just recently, and this album fits the bill for what I wanted to hear of his work. I know others who are more familiar with his work have posted comments saying song "x" is missing from some of the greatest hits albums, and this may be so, I don't know. All I know is, everything I wanted to hear was on this album.

5 out of 5 stars A great compilation.......2007-03-13

Billy Joel has had a long and storied career as a singer. His style has morphed as his life has. This compilation of his hits spanning over 2 decades is both a tribute to his longevity and style of music. Listening to these songs gives you a great appreciation of how this style changed. From the catchy lyrics to the soulful ballads, this collection has it all. It's easy to just put a CD in the changer and get lost in the melodies that you grew up listening to. The quality of the sound from this collection is first-rate. If you are looking to follow along as a singer/songwriter matures, this is a great way to do it.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful music and interactives.......2007-03-12

Music, insight and lyrics. What else do you want from any artist.

Billy Joel delivers all that in this collection.

Skip the individual albums and get this definitive volume.

Very cool.

I just got this for my brother-in-law as a gift and he loves it!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2007-01-24

Having Beethoven's Symphonies in one, very affordable, set is heaven! The recordings are clear and crisp. Each symphony is truly a masterpiece from the very soft tones of the woodwinds to the thundering sounds of horns. It is amazing to listen to certain passages of Beethoven and realize the genius and otherworldliness of his talent.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to beethoven's symphonies........2007-01-11

The sound is excellent, and the musicianship and conducting is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars Beethoven Collection.......2006-07-23

Beethoven is my favorite composer. No matter how upset or tired I am, his music calms me down, just like a big, gentle hug.
But the cheap CDs have poor quality. And the good ones are too expensive for me. When I found this collection, with such a good price on Amazon.com, I couldn't believe it. Shortly after I purchased it, I received it. The quality is great. I am enjoying it. Thank you

Hoda

5 out of 5 stars Top music!.......2006-07-19

Everything else you can get over, but classical music like Beethoven is stuff you just can't get sick of. A whole collection of Beethoven's Symphonies for such a small price, Wow!. Classical music is so relaxing and peaceful that you can't go wrong with spending time chillin out to this pure classic. The symphonies are great but after this you've got to go get the sonata's etc and I guarantee you won't be dissapointed!

Think about it, they don't call it classical for nothing.

2 out of 5 stars Not again........2007-03-03

Well, the labels did it again. First, when they released the album "Dream" on cd. Their biggest hit from that album "You never done it like that" turned out to be a re-recorded version on the cd release.
They did it again with this "Ultimate Collection." That being said, I love some of their other hits, especially "The way that I want to touch you." Luckily, the rest of the tracks are the originals. If you're looking for the original version of "You never done it like that", you would have to get the 20th Century Masters collection of theirs.

4 out of 5 stars Complete Hits Captain & Tennille.......2006-08-21

I really like the cd. There are songs I don't remember them singing but all in all it is very good.

5 out of 5 stars There's No Pleasure Like A Guilty Pleasure.......2005-05-15

Isn't there anything simply screams guilty pleasure like the Captain & Tennille? I mean, their cheesy yet infectious hits meant back in the 1970s' you were on a one way ticket to lameville. Well, 30 years later, the world is more accepting to the Captain & Tennille, so now me and many others feel comfortable saying how much we enjoy their music.

"Ultimate Collection: The Complete Hits" is the most complete representation of the duo's hits you could possibly find. Indeed, most of us will be happy to hear songs like "Love Will Keep Us Together", "Muskrat Love" and "Do That To Me One More Time". And diehards who went and bought the actual albums rather than just singles will be happy to learn that forgotten radio staples like "Circles", "Song Of Joy" and "Wedding Song (There Is Love)". Contrary to one reviewer's critique on the album, the sound is excellent. Everything sounds splendid.

This is a must have album, but only if you're a fan. This duo certainly isn't for everyone, but people who like this type of music will pick this up immediately

5 out of 5 stars Definitive collection.......2005-04-27

This couple never made much impact in the UK but had several huge hits in America, where Love will keep us together topped the charts. This particular compilation contains all the tracks from their original greatest hits album from 1977 but also includes all their later hits including Do that to me one more time (their second American number one, which became their only UK top ten hit) and You never done it like that, an American top ten hit that briefly made the lower placings in the UK charts.

Among the earlier American hits here are Muskrat love (also recorded by the group America), Shop around (a cover of a Miracles song from the early sixties), Love will keep us together (their first American number one, written by Neil Sedaka) and Lonely night angel face (also written by Neil Sedaka). Circles, Can't stop dancing, Come in from the rain, We never really say goodbye and Disney girls are also wonderful, as are the covers of Wedding song (Petula Clark) and I write the songs (Barry Manilow).

If you enjoy the music of the Carpenters you will probably also enjoy Captain and Tennille's music. This is the best compilation of their music. Now, if only some record label will re-issue the original albums on CD - but that may be wishful thinking.

3 out of 5 stars Scratching The Surface.......2005-01-26

This collection of Capt & Tennille tracks shows for me how diverse the group's recordings were. Generally speaking, their recordings fell into one of several categories. They sold heavily with the Beach Boys-Neil Sadaka-Alan O'Day singles. These were accompanied by poppish tracks like "Can't Stop Dancing" and "I'm On My Way." The duo interspersed love songs ("Come In From The Rain") and odes to the carnal joys of marriage ("Gentle Stranger" and "Do That To Me") with school-chorus favorites ("I Write The Songs," "Circles") and novelties ("Broddy Bounce" and "Muskrat Love"). In their last three albums released in the US, they included slightly darker Adult Contemporary fare like "Love On A Shoestring" and "This Is Not The First Time." Despite the wide array of recording styles, I am of the belief-- probably heresy to fans-- that Toni Tennille never realized her potential.

In interviews during the 70s, Daryl Dragon made the observation that Tennille's musical tastes were extremely conservative. This inclination hobbled her gifts. She had difficulty recognizing what her voice was best suited for. The upbeat pop tunes the group favored were too insubstantial to support the incredible power of her voice. She either had to reign in her delivery or her projection blew out the bounds of these compositions. Dragon's playful approach-- Erasure-on-Venice-Beach-- didn't always support the earthy smolder of his wife's drawling diction, even if this approach did match the pop sensibility of the singles. In her solo ventures, Tennille's preference for Swing standards had her admirably fronting orchestral sections for live takes, but the wall of sound in the big-band arrangements competes with rather than supports her voice.

Tennille's voice was its own wall of sound. Her singing fared best with simple arrangements. Backed by a piano, or Hammond organ with bass and drums, or seasoned with brass flourishes: these organic sounds gave her the room to breathe that she needed. The material for her pipes was not upbeat ditties but bluesy, torchy songs like "Your Good Thing," "Never Make A Move Too Soon," "Since I Fell For You," "Love Me Like A Baby." Her timbre called out for a lyric of heartache, anger, betrayal, unrequited desire. She was, I think, a soul singer who didn't realize it. Her delivery was best informed not by Sarah Vaughn or Bobby Short but Ann Peebles or Dorothy Morrison. Capt & Tennille might have done better to looks less at California and Hawaii than at Memphis and Atlanta for the most fruitful sources of material. Dragon, a gifted keyboardist, didn't need sound gimmicks to provide the Charles Earland style soul backing that would have put Tennille's voice in its best setting.

Listening to their non-single album tracks, I can't help but wonder what heights they could reach if they tried their hand at covering not pop songs but soul songs. Their proven ability to pull off Isaac Hayes and even out-and-out dance in the smoldering "How Can You Be So Cold" suggest a southern soul outing would be an artistically successful change of pace.

This is a great compilation, but it lacks one of Tommy's best; that would be "All Over Again". I can only give it four stars.

4 out of 5 stars A Worthy Album.......2007-01-10

A gifted crooner with a wonderful voice is an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so. Well done for those who enjoy the mellow sound of the fifties.

5 out of 5 stars "IT'S ALL IN THE GAME".......2006-07-18

If this cd doesn't do anything for you, time to check your pulse ! Along with his trademark hit, "IT'S ALL IN THE GAME", Tommy Edwards will be most endurably remembered for "PLEASE LOVE ME FOREVER", "MY MELANCHOLY BABY", "LOVE IS ALL WE NEED", "PLEASE MR. SUN", and "THE MORNING SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN". The music world will miss him dearly !!

5 out of 5 stars Tommy Touches You Heart And Soul.......2006-04-08

Tommy's voice is right up there with all the great crooners of the last century.

His was a Heaven sent voice.

I wasn't even born when Tommy was making his greatest hits but I just love him to bits. They should make a movie about the great Tommy Edwards. :)

His "Morning Side Of The Mountain" touches my heart. :)

His "It's All In The Game" touches my soul. :)

5 out of 5 stars A perfect collection.......2006-03-23

Tommy Edwards had a pleasant voice and smooth style. He was (similiar to Pat Boone) able to appeal to both fans of the standards and rock n'roll. Yes, the arrangements date the songs a bit as they're done in the typical beat/ballad sytle of the late 50s/early 60s. But they hold up well probably because Tommy sings them superbly.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great for any Manilow fan.......2007-06-20

What's different about this set is that it has some alternate recordings of songs we all love. There are several "live" recordings and some songs sung the way they were originally written. I especially liked the original version of "I made it through the rain." You also receive a book with comments from the original composers/arrangers of the songs - lots of "behind the scenes" information. Thanks, Barry, for continuing to feed our hunger!

4 out of 5 stars Barry Manilow- Complete Collection surprises included.......2007-01-20

To potential buyers of the Barry Complete Collection: I grew up singing his songs and have never stopped. I went on to have a 20 year classical singing career but Barry always remained part of my "I call it happy Music"....This collection is interesting for it combines so many different styles and Barry himself is not shy to try for EX: Ave Maria which is my least favorite. I also have never been a lover of the very fast Copa and and other's like it. I have alwys been a ballad gal at heart. Barry does not fall short here with this extended 4 CD and one DVD collection. What I lOVE is that he shares with us so much of his early years with demos where he can even make a mistake and we won't care. He shows us he is a human who sighs and may sing a note that is too edgy or added words on a never released song that you do not hear on the released album. I find this a lot of fun and the added booklet gives you a solid history of the background of Barry's talent which is immense. His voice is his voice and he never feels that he needs to make a big deal about it. It is and appropriate for what he does and he is one of the best song writers we will ever have. I am and will always be a true fan of Barry Manilow. If you ar a die hard Barry fan "This one is for you"

4 out of 5 stars Good Stuff.......2007-01-16

This collection is great for anyone who has a lot of other Manilow music. Songs that have not been released, or alternate versions. It's a historic collection.

5 out of 5 stars Let it storm. I've got this collection to keep me warm.......2006-10-10

This 4-CD + 1-DVD + Book set is awesome! 70 arrangements of Barry s-s-s-s-o-o-o-ngs on CD and 12 more on DVD! (Sorry, I got so excited, I stuttered! Geeze! That's 82 songs!!! You can drive from here to Kookamonga with this set! By the way, you need a car, too.) I put the 4 CDs in the car the other day and took the 1 ½ hour trek up to Lancaster to shop. Had the CDs playing ALL DAY LONG, without a repeat. Went up to Lititz, Kissel Hill, and all around the cat's barn, dodging bad drivers on cell phones, and back home to Baltimore again. Had a great time with these Barry songs. This is a fantastic collection of so many great songs, even if you already have many other Manilow CDs.

There are many Barry classics and many Barry songs only found on a limited number of CDs, and some I haven't even heard before. Some of the classics or semi-classics are just a wee bit different from other arrangements on other Barry CDs.

This is the only place I've found "Ave Maria." It's on Disc 3--absolutely beautiful--sung in both English and Latin. I also found a combo of "My Girl/No One in This World" on Disc 4, that is so very pretty. "How Do I Stop Loving You" is also another beauty on Disc 3.

On Disc 2, "I'm Your Man" always makes me wanna dance, and depending on where I am, I do just that! This version is extended, all the better to dance with, my dear. "Hey Mambo, Riders to the Stars, Beautiful Music," rev me up to do battle with the negative-ites of the world. "Memory" and "If I Can Dream" are beauties also found on Disc 2.

Disc 4 has "Let Freedom Ring," a patriotic song from 1991, also found on the "2 Nights Live" set. "If Tomorrow Never Comes" is a Garth Brooks Country Western song and is such a gorgeous song (If I don't wake up in the morning, would she know how much I love her?) I would have cried when I heard it, but I'm tuff (nah-try stay puft marshmello)!

I recently read a comment Barry wrote about "I Write the Songs," and Hey, I get it! I thought the song was beautiful before, but now, WOW! He basically said that the lyric's writer was referring to the Spirit of music as writing the songs (through a person), rather than a person writing them. Listen to this song in that perspective. It gives it very special meaning. You'll also hear reference to Spirit in "Daybreak".

Got some broadway musical songs here, too, on Disc 4 that are great and are also on "Showstoppers" CD.

Disc 1 also has some beauties, such as "As Sure as I'm Standing Here, I Don't Want to Walk Without You, and If I Should Love Again."

And there are just so many other great songs here, all the classics and more, HOURS of great entertainment. Check out the list. There's also the DVD and a substantial booklet of nostalgic pictures and comments, including the stud-muffin picture of Barry on the inside cover. I'm guessing he was in his early 30s.

People ask me why I'm so happy all the time and some ask "what I'm on." Recently, someone said, "You're not normal." I said, "Been there, done that. Normal is overrated." I try to tell them my big secret is all that Barry music, but they just won't believe me. (Don't tell anybody, but it keeps me young, too. S-h-h-h-h.) Hey, let the Spirit COME ON IN! Buy this set. It is well worth the price. It's also a great gift for someone. A lotta music for what you can easily spend on dinner at Outback!

5 out of 5 stars I Wish I Bought This Years Ago.......2006-04-03

If you just want to listen to Barry's biggest hits, buy The Essential Barry Manilow. But if you want to get a closer look at many of his songs--alternate versions, early drafts--and just get a great feel for the evolution of Barry's songcraft, this collection is superb. Sure you can hear Copacabana if you wish on this collection, but you can also hear part of his at-home audiotape when he was actually writing the darn thing! There are a handful of never-heard-before songs and some oldies I remember loving but hadn't heard in quite awhile ("All the Time" is an example--superb song, heartfelt performance).

Did you know that "I Made It Through the Rain" was originally written about a songwriter trying to persevere? The version in this set is that original version, different lyrics ("I made it through the rain, I kept my songs protected...")while the booklet explains why Barry and friends rewrote the lyrics to the one that became a hit. The version of "Can't Smile Without You" contains a soft-shoe middle that is very enchanting, and never before heard.
The set is filled with stylistic changes and different versions of hit songs so that even if you own one of his "Best Of" collections you'll still regard this compilation as fresh.

Barry is the performer I keep coming back to. When I haven't listened to his songs for a while and then come upon a collection like this, I wish I had never paused in my listening. He possesses a unique talent--an ability to write beautifully, play piano masterfully and evocatively, and sing so well. He doesn't have the voice of a Josh Groban (few do) but his voice is easily among those most enjoyable to hear; powerful and yet down to earth; an old friend. And he puts across his songs in such a heartfelt way, you know he has a depth to his spirit and an artistry that not every performer possesses.

Plus, you get a DVD and a large booklet with photos and pages of liner notes written by Barry and others, describing the songs presented herein.

All in all, a treasure. Get it!

    5 out of 5 stars Starlight......Starbright!.......2007-06-23

    Joyful! This is a star studded collection guaranteed to take you down memory lane almost hand in hand with Linda. Her intimate song stylings could even make standards and ballads seem like golden oldies, for she is vivacious, sparkling and exuberant! You may relive first love like it's a walk in the park. All of these songs about stars seem a metaphor for the singer...a star in her own right. In this collection are ten song titles about "stars" and even some moonbeams thrown in too. There are 8 songs in a row about stars. It's a rare and impeccable CD!

    5 out of 5 stars Forgotten singers.......2007-05-14

    This is a great album by a cute little gal with a big voice. Her songs were popular when I was a young man out of high school and it's great to relive them.

    5 out of 5 stars Linda Scott album.......2007-03-14

    Wow, really neat sounds. I loved the hits as well as the other songs on the CD. If you love the girl sounds of the 50's and 60's, you'll love this album! I recommend it highly!

    5 out of 5 stars Linda Scott: Star Vocalist.......2007-01-13

    Linda Scott was unfortunately an underrated talent by the media. She had a great vocal instrument and she knew how to utilize it to its fullest capacity. Her bright sparkling voice has an instant appeal. She knew how to phrase the lyric and deliver the melody in stunning fashion. She had many hits including the million seller, "I Told Every Little Star" which was recently featured in David Lynch's film, "Mulholland Drive". She was originally signed to a recording contract by the Winnipeg record mogul, Neil Galligan, who produced all the songs on this release. I treasure the fact that a local personality was responsible for bringing this great talent to a wider audience. I always felt that she should have had a broader following like Petula Clark. The arrival of The Beatles really put a damper on the American Pop Rock Ballad Singer. Woman singers like Lesley Gore, Connie Francis, Connie Stevens et al went into a sharp decline and had to find other venues for their talent. The British invasion had their pop rock ballad singer equivalents like Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck, Petula Clark and Dusty Springfield but their American counterparts like Gene Pitney, Bobby Vee, Ricky Nelson, Dionne Warwick and many others were relagated to the backburner. But now here is Linda Scott once more sounding great in a state-of-the-art compact disc. Eric Records deserves our deepest gratitude and highest praise for this superlative release. Perhaps, they might consider releasing more or all of her recordings as she never made a bad record. An artist of Linda Scott's calibre deserves to have her releases in public domain once more. I am certain her great song stylings will be appreciated by many old and new fans alike. It's wonderful that these songs are available again by this great singer. Linda Scott's time has finally come again!

    3 out of 5 stars I can't believe it !!.......2006-02-25

    Actually, I haven't purchased this item yet. I'm just thrilled to find it. I've been searching for the song "Starlight, Starbright" for years, without really knowing the exact name of the song. Long, long ago, when I was about to enter the 7th grade, I heard this song when I was at a friends house. The old 45 record had actually been purchased for "Don't Bet Money, Honey" but I liked the flip side better. Everytime that I went down the street to visit my friend Debby, I got out "Starlight, Starbright, and played it as loud and as long as she would let me. I've sung it over the years to my friends,but no one knew the exact name or who had sung it. Thank goodness for the internet....it saved the day. After long hours of searching, I've finally found THE song. Just had to share my joy! YIPPEE!

    5 out of 5 stars F*cking Awesome!.......2007-05-13

    Some of the greatest music I have ever heard. The man is a genious and way underrated!

    3 out of 5 stars ONLY FOR AVID BILLY JOEL FANS.......2007-04-16

    Unless you are a die hard Billy Joel fan, this boxed set is not for you. It does not even live up to its name "Complete Hits Collection" because some of his hits have not been included notably "Sometimes A Fantasy" which was a top 40 hit and cannot as far as I know be found on any one of the numerous collections of Billy Joel retrospectives that have been issued over the years. For those of you who like his songs and would prefer a more handy and reasonably comprehensive collection I would recommend acquiring "Billy Joel The Ultimate Collection" which has 36 tracks including most of his hits. What's more, the lyrics for all the 36 songs are also provided and the sound quality is good too.

    5 out of 5 stars Billy Joel - 1973-97-Complete Hits Collection .......2007-03-27

    Grew up listening to Billy Joel, but never owned an album. Became re-interested in his music just recently, and this album fits the bill for what I wanted to hear of his work. I know others who are more familiar with his work have posted comments saying song "x" is missing from some of the greatest hits albums, and this may be so, I don't know. All I know is, everything I wanted to hear was on this album.

    5 out of 5 stars A great compilation.......2007-03-13

    Billy Joel has had a long and storied career as a singer. His style has morphed as his life has. This compilation of his hits spanning over 2 decades is both a tribute to his longevity and style of music. Listening to these songs gives you a great appreciation of how this style changed. From the catchy lyrics to the soulful ballads, this collection has it all. It's easy to just put a CD in the changer and get lost in the melodies that you grew up listening to. The quality of the sound from this collection is first-rate. If you are looking to follow along as a singer/songwriter matures, this is a great way to do it.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful music and interactives.......2007-03-12

    Music, insight and lyrics. What else do you want from any artist.

    Billy Joel delivers all that in this collection.

    Skip the individual albums and get this definitive volume.

    Very cool.
