2 out of 5 stars Have Heard Better.......2007-01-10

I was disappointed with the quality of the recording on this CD. I used to have just about every record by this artist and honestly I think the records had better sound than some of these transferred to CD. His music is good, but I expected a better sound now that they have it on disc. I have other CDs I have bought to replace albums that have been fantastic, this wasn't one of them.

5 out of 5 stars wizard52.......2007-01-10

A great CD by B J Thomas, it bought back a lot of memories for me.

2 out of 5 stars Mediocre, at best.......2006-08-06

This is mediocre at best. A few bright spots, but mostly flat pop and effluent. I should have simply downloaded the songs I wanted.

3 out of 5 stars Great Album - Poor Sound.......2005-10-15

This album contains a decent selection of B.J. Thomas hits and rarities. They are the authentic, original versions, not re-recordings that you'll find on some of the B.J. Thomas low-priced CDs.

My gripe with this CD is that the sound quality is poor - so poor that I don't enjoy listening to it. The volume is low, headroom is cramped (no bass or treble) so it has a dull, muddy sound. This is not at all like Rhino, who can usually be counted on to issue a first-rate mastering job.

5 out of 5 stars Country-flavored pop with real "feeling".......2000-06-05

From 1966 to 1977, B J Thomas turned out one beautiful song after another, enjoying tremendous success on both the pop and country sides of the house. This excellent collection includes everything from 1966 through 1975, featuring 13 top forty hits, 5 top tens and two number ones, "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" and "(Hey) Won't You Play Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song."

B J wasn't a mainstream rocker and, to his credit, he didn't try to be. He knew where his strength was and stuck to it; gentle, catchy melodies, heart-felt, insightful lyrics and a dramatic, genuine delivery that gave his music more power than any number of guitars, keyboards or amps could provide.

The closest he got to true rock was 1968's number five charting hit "Hooked on a Feeling," which six years later became a mainstream rock hit for Blue Swede.

B J's songs were bittersweet but hopeful, tugging at the heart but leaving a quiet smile on the lips. Songs like "I Just Can't Help Believing", "Most of All" and the marvelous "Rock and Roll Lullabye" reveal a reverence for love and love of life that were almost naive but, through his songs, became very real and very believable. Even songs like the profound and powerful "No Love At All" glow with an emotional sincerity that was becoming rare as the pop/rock movement became increasingly more commercialized and prefabricated.

The only way that Rhino could have improved on this collection would have been by including 1977s "Don't Worry Baby", a very good cover of the Beach Boys single. But, that's nitpicking. As always, their mastering is excellent and the sound quality spectacular.

B J Thomas' Greatest Hits is a wonderful collection of gentle, appealing music that will delight the ears and warm the heart. Don't miss it!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great collection!.......2007-05-11

This is a great collection of BJ Thomas's hits, 24 of them. The only knock on this cd is that some of the songs have audible tape hiss which has been a problem with some of his other hits collections. Still, its well worthwhile to listen to and is the best collection I've heard of of his recordings, especially the earlier ones.

I was able to purchase a new copy at a lower price than Amazon's listed price from the other sellers links. I just can't help believing this is the best compilation of BJ Thomas's hits.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2005-09-12

If you are a BJ Thomas fan, you need to get this one, and smile and be nostalgic!!!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2005-01-07

I am very pleased with this CD. There is more than 75 minutes of music and it includes all of B.J. Thomas's hits. I rate 6 of the songs as very good or excellent. My favorites are "No Love At All", "Rock & Roll Lullaby" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry".

I agree with the other reviewers that this is the one to buy for a B.J. Thomas collection.

5 out of 5 stars Look no further.....this is definitely the one you want.......2003-09-03

Spanning a period of more than 20 years and containing hits from 4 different labels, this Australian import is clearly the finest B.J. Thomas collection ever assembled. The first cut is the 1966 classic "Billy and Sue" which was released on Nashville's Hickory label. What follows are 18 cuts containing just about every one of B.J.'s hits on the Scepter label. Everyone is familiar with his biggest hits "Hooked on A Feeling" and of course his signature song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", but frankly I am partial to some of his lesser known hits including "The Eyes of A New York Woman", "Mighty Clouds of Joy" and "Mama". But whatever your preference you will surely find them all here. Also included are a couple of his hits for MCA including "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" as well as well as hit remake of the Beach Boys classic "Don't Worry Baby".
The final two cuts are from his days at Columbia. At this point in the mid-eighties, his records were only being played on country and adult contemporary stations. In my opinion, "Whatever Happened to Old Fashioned Love?" is one of his best discs ever. So spend an extra few bucks and pick up one of the best values you'll ever find.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent collection.......2003-02-20

This is the most comprehensive collection of BJ Thomas hits out there, and sounds great too. If you like BJ Thomas, this is definitely the "Greatest Hits" CD to get.

Amazon.com

What's a woebegone wall-crawler to do? Arachnid-powered superteen Peter Parker's all-too-human foibles are never far from the heart of director Sam Raimi's second installment of the Spider-Man saga, giving it an emotional resonance that sets it smartly apart from its summer blockbuster competition. But while Raimi and star Toby McGuire help emotionally ground the film, its stunning CGI effects -- and this robust, aggressive orchestral score by Danny Elfman -- insure we never forget this is no mere soap opera. The composer returns with a vengeance to the larger-than-life, crowd-pleasing sensibility of his acclaimed work on Batman and its sequel, though he occasionally seasons it with sparing dashes of the post-modern flirtations of his Hulk score. Elfman conjures his formula masterfully, bookending a suitably moody, rhythmically anxious new theme for Dr. Octopus with a brassy reprise of villainy-past on "The Goblin Returns." Though leavened by more emotionally bright passages, it's a score largely dominated by the dark, brooding comic book melodramatics that are the favorite of so many Elfman acolytes. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars This is One of Elfman's Best Scores!!!!.......2007-05-09

I really love this cd. ive always wanted to hear the main title from the movie and when i got this cd i was really happy and when i heard it i felt like i was watching the movie again. Elfman is one of my favorite and best composers since John Williams!!! This is a MUST have!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Not the best soundtrack I've heard.......2007-03-09

I own a lot of soundtracks and this is not one of the best. The music is great when the movie is playing but loses something on its own.

3 out of 5 stars Missing some music pieces.......2006-10-14

I decided to buy this CD after wanting a piece played in Spider-Man 2 SO badly. I was furious when I listened to this and didn't find it anywhere. The piece I was looking for was the piano piece during the scene when Peter hugs Aunt May when she's packing. You'd think it would be in 'Ant May Packs' but it's not. It is also missing some other great pieces from the movie. A bit of a let down...

3 out of 5 stars A well Motion Picture Score........2006-02-10

This Orignal Motion Picture score was great becuase of the music that Danny Elfman used on this Cd. I love #1"Main Titles",#2,and I love the Doc Ock theme. I really wish that they would of put in the Pizza Delivery when Peter delivers the pizza's. And when Doc Ock puts his arms up for the first time. But I love this motion picture score soundtrack. It's a great score to listin to. I highly recommend it! And it's a 48 minute soundtrack and the music in the film wasn't all in the soundtrack. But Danny Elfman did an awesome job with this Orignal Motion Picture Score for Spider-Man 2!

5 out of 5 stars great buy .......2006-01-20

this cd is a great buy for spider-man fans because it includes most of the music score but not all. my favorite tracks are track #1 whick the title theme, track #7 which is titled the mugging/peters turmoil peters turmoil is the first 3 minuets and is also the theme when peter says I'm spider-man no more, I also like track #9 which is titled hes back, track #14 which is titled at long last love, and finnaly the classic but annoyingly catchy track #15 which is raindrops keep fallin on my head. other themes on this cd are train/appreciation which is track #10. also there is the track titled the goblins returns which includes a little of the green goblin theme.

Album Description

A-Z of Opera is a 762-page, illustrated book, accompanied by two-and-a-half hours of opera's most glorious and moving moments on two CDs, and reflects the ever-growing Naxos catalog of recordings ranging from Monteverdi to the contemporary.

4 out of 5 stars AN OPERA OPUS THAT'S A MUST!.......2003-01-19

Oh, such letter-perfect perfection! This marvel features a two-hour-plus showcase of well-known arias from "Cosi Fan Tuti," "Aida," "Carmen," "Madame Butterfly" and "The Barber of Seville." It also comes with a book --- 762 pages of remarkable facts, figures and illustrations.Encore!

5 out of 5 stars The Best.......2002-06-09

This is, by far, the best introduction to opera on the market. It also contains some gem performances for anyone who already has a serious opera collection. Several tracks on this collection of mostly Eastern European singers rival those of their Western counterparts. This is a collection for EVERYONE - from the opera novice to the person who has long collected all the major Western stars. At this price, it's the best opera bargain in the world. GET IT NOW!!! Thank you, Naxos! I hope that some of these Eastern European singers at last get the attention they deserve.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Modestly Priced Favorite Arias Collection!!!.......2001-02-12

I received this as my 20th birthday gift from my bestfriend and I was amazed at the quality and the content of this CD. Some of the arias which I am immensely fond of are included, i.e. "Habanera" from Bizet's "Carmen." And who would have guessed that the soprano on track 10 performing Queen of the Night's Aria from Mozart's "Die Zauberflote" was none other than Hellen Kwon? Amazing!

I really love this gift from my bestfriend for it was thoughtful and well, what can I say that this makes an excellant gift for opera neophytes (though I am not an opera neophyte).

The highlight of this CD is track 13, Rossini's "Largo al Factotum" from "The Barber of Seville." When I first heard this, I was contemplating to myself as to where have I heard this before. Then it hit me: Michigan J. Frog's signature tune! (In case people are wondering who on earth is Michigan J. Frog is, he is the Warner Brother's frog; the frog can be seen on WB network channel). I love this track! Buy this for yourself if not this makes a perfect gift for your opera neophyte friend(s)! This track brings joy and smiles on my face everytime I hear this piece!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction to opera.......2000-12-16

More than just a promotional sampler, the Naxos (8.555037-38) contains not only 2 CDs crammed with 39 excerpts from that company's seemingly bottomless catalogue, but also a 762 page book. The text offers plot summaries of almost every important opera and many of far lesser renown (Delius' "The Magic Fountain," Mascagni's "Iris," for example), a brief biography of the composers, a glossary, and finally a discography. The recorded examples are in chronological order from Monteverdi to Korngold. The entries in the book, however, are in alphabetical order--so be careful to look for "Zauberflote," not "Magic Flute," and so on.

Of course, Big Names do not appear on many Naxos opera sets; but this set is an introduction to that vast area of culture and is meant to be an educational (and of course a promotional ) device. Nevertheless, many of the selections on the CDs are beautifully sung, a very few lack characterization (the arias from"Don Giovanni" and "Nozze di Figaro" for two). But at this incredibly low budget price, who can complain?

As soon as I saw what this set had to offer, I immediately ordered a copy as a seasonal gift for a friend who wants to "get into" opera. I could think of no better gift.

There is a sister set titled (8.555319-20) that uses the same format. There are 2 CDs with 36 selections from Gregorian Chant to Glass. The 562-page book gives us the major facts about "the Great Composers and Their Greatest Works, " a glossary, and a 45-page list of classical music heard in films. The discography is included in the composers section. Again, the value of this set as an educational tool is enormous and well worth the extremely low price Naxos is asking.

2 out of 5 stars Bad Trip--- Not the Original Hit Song Arrangements.......2006-07-28

These are NOT the original tracks that we all heard on the radio. They sound like primitive rehearsal tracks with marginal singing, bad orchestration,and different arrangements.

Do Not Buy This CD --- or on second thought, please buy mine.

Forrest

3 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag of Old and New Versions.......2004-07-05

This CD seems to be a combination of old and new versions of some of B.J's great songs. B.J. Thomas has an incredible voice when at his best, and had the knack of selecting wonderfully melodic songs with great lyrics, especially throughout the 60s and 70s. Unfortunately the new recordings on this CD lack the energy and sincerity of his originals, both in terms of B.J's vocal performances, and in regard to the arrangements. Why you would want to change such gems as this man's originals of

1 out of 5 stars NOT "All original recordings".......2003-05-30

Well, I'm writing this review AFTER I got my CD, and I'm really unhappy. It says, right on the cover, "All Original Recordings." Baloney. These are not the original recordings, but re-recordings done later. There are obvious differences in Thomas' vocals, the instrumentation, etc. Is it badly done? Not necessarily. I suppose if you're a die-hard B. J. Thomas fan you'll find this a decent set of alternate recordings for your collection. But if you want the original songs you do not want this CD. My review and rating are based solely on this CD not being what it claims to be. For shame.

5 out of 5 stars If it's by B.J. Thomas, it has to be great!.......2001-05-28

I am writing this before I even receive my CD. He has been one of my favorite singers for over 20 years. I have all his old records and want to get a started on a CD collection. This will be my first selection. I can't wait to receive it!

If I had to choose one CD to spend a month locked in isolation with, this would be the one. Its varied but it flows well together. It's restive and soothing. The quality is beyond excellent!!! At the price, anyone is a fool not to own it, and give it lavishly as gifts. Its gorgeous, lush and fabulous! Everyone that hears it in our home, falls in love with it!

4 out of 5 stars Great music, Excellent Value!.......2000-07-26

Rarely can one buy so much good music for so little. This compilation features almost 80 minutes of high quality music.

5 out of 5 stars This truly is essential!.......1999-10-23

What a brilliant idea from one of our leading record companies! On this disc, they have assembled a programme of highlights from their vast collection of choral, vocal, orchestral, and solo instrumental music that is very satisfying. As with most CDs of this sort, it is a case of some tracks not appealing as much as others- I for instance am a lover of choral music so the gorgeous renditions of Stanford's "Magnificat" by St. Paul's Cathedral Choir or John Sheppard's divine motet "Libera Nos" by the Sixteen are obvious preferences of mine. However, whether you seek dyed-in-the-wool orchestral classics as Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony, less familiar works performed by period artists (such as "'E irei Madr'a Vigo" by ancient Spanish composer Martin Codax), or snippets of breathtaking instrumental solos (such as the rousing performance of Lefebure-Wely's "Sortie in E flat" which is sadly only an excerpt), this disc is bound to have something on it for you. And all of it is finely recorded.

This is really a nice CD to have if you ever need to put something on to help you relax and be at peace after a stressful day. He has always been underrated. His voice is fantastic. I couldnt give it 5 stars because I would have liked a couple more upbeat songs, or for that matter, more songs. There are only 10 on this CD. You get about 30 minutes of material and your just left with wanting more. Thats a compliment.

5 out of 5 stars Inspiring.......2006-04-27

My mother used to listen to BJ on LPs while I was growing up & I loved listening to his gospel albums. I, too, was fearful that this album would not "measure up" to the old LPs, but I was most definitely NOT disappointed. I love every song on this album - they are inspirational and uplifting. I also enjoy the newer songs that he sprinkled in amongst the older, traditional religious songs. Many of these remind me of my church-going years and of my grandmother, who had a few favorites that are included. This has turned into one of my favorite albums. Thank you, BJ!

5 out of 5 stars This is really the Best of BJ.......2003-02-03

No one can sing gospel like BJ Thomas! I own his "old" gospel albums and I was afraid this wouldn't live up to the quality -- but Praise God it does! I love the mix of old and new. BJ has his own style, his own natural quality-- and the voice of an angel. Thank you BJ!

5 out of 5 stars Inspirational, A Comfort.......1999-03-30

I had to have this album! I listened to the song "Home Where I Belong" years ago and it comforted me on the death of a loved one. I recently lost my son and once again the song was a comfort Thank You B.J.,

    Customer Reviews:

    4 out of 5 stars Cello Music.......2007-03-09

    I had better expectations from this cd, but on the whole the music is great. Julian Lloyd Webber is a great cello player and the arrangements are very good. and is worth the money as it is a double album
