4 out of 5 stars A Casual Fan Semi-Review..........2007-05-29

Being a fan,but not a fanatic of Elvis,I came across this new collection of hits from him and thought it was a great time to buy. I had purchased an old hits of his from the 80's, on cassette.Of course,I know the standard hits.Alison,Pump It Up,Accident's Will Happen and my fave, What's So Funny...,among a couple of others. Noticed a whole bunch of songs I wasn't familiar with and look forward to hearing them,when I receive this new set.Of late,I am digging deeper into many classic artists I listen to.Elvis fits into that. For that reason,I am giving this collection,4 stars.For the songs I know. After listening to the others,perhaps I can raise it to 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars "The Only Elvis That Matters" Done Justice.......2007-05-20

In my opinion, this is the best single-disc Elvis Costello compilation anyone has ever released. In fact, it may even be the best introduction to E.C. out there (He's so stylistically diverse that no single album is an effective introduction, and both of the more extensive collections - "Girls Girls Girls" on Columbia and "The Very Best of Elvis Costello" on Rhino - would probably be overwhelming to someone unfamiliar with the majority of his work). Also, the collection "Rock and Roll Music," as is evident in the title, ignores his non-"Rock and Roll" songs.

But this disc finally gets it right. There was a "The Very Best of Elvis Costello & the Attractions" single-disc issued on Rykodisc in 1994 that came close, but as good as that disc was, this collection makes three substitutions that are actually improvements: "(The Angels Want to Wear My) Red Shoes," "New Lace Sleeves," and "Almost Blue" replace "Watch Your Step," "New Amsterdam," and "Love Field."

Not only are the substitutions slightly better songs in my opinion, they also paint a more complete picture of Elvis Costello as an artist and writer. Especially "Red Shoes" - if you'd only heard the ballad "Alison" and the reggae-influenced "Watching the Detectives" from his debut album, you'd have no idea what to expect from the rest of the CD, but "Red Shoes" really sets the tone for the rest of that disc (and it's just an amazing song). Some people complain that these songs have been repackaged too many times, but I have a hard time arguing with the final result.

The remastering of this collection sounds as good as the Rhino remasters (which managed to be a slight improvement over the already great-sounding Rykodisc versions), and I really don't understand why some people complain about the sound (but I never owned any of the vinyl records, so maybe I am missing something). Still, the sound is the best that I've heard on CD, and in terms of song selection, this is a near-perfect set. For some, this will be all the Elvis Costello they ever need. For others, it will be the beginning of a long journey into the career of one of the best, most insightful and most interesting singer-songwriters in popular music. Either way, it's hard to go wrong with this collection.

4 out of 5 stars Same Old Music in Yet Another New Sleeve.......2007-05-15

Now that thirty years has passed since his debut, it is apparent to me that Elvis Costello has a lot more in common with his namesake than a singing career. Case in point - Almost immediately upon his arrival at RCA, Elvis Presley's recordings were packaged with little regard to the consumer, and then re-packaged so relentlessly that nobody except the most dedicated, wealthy, and mentally unbalanced collector could possibly hope to amass all of Presley's catalog. With blithe regularity, RCA executives would abuse their position as the historic caretakers of a rock and roll legend by digging deeper and deeper into obscurities, then packaging them with recycled classic recordings. Very, very little was genuinely `new' except the package itself. These collections are innumerable, and I pity the poor soul who suffers the disease of being a completist collector, because it can cost you your bank account, your house, and maybe even your marriage, all in the pursuit of owning all that is Elvis.
It now appears as though the same type of abuse has befallen the recorded works of Elvis Costello. I should know. I was one of those `mentally unbalanced' individuals who felt the need to own every Elvis Costello item released on the marketplace. In the beginning, it was kind of fun. Costello had numerous singles with non-LP b-sides, and plenty of `alternate' versions to keep fans quite busy. I was a part of that vinyl junkie set, a cult of obsessed lunatics who lived to find the rarest single, or an alternate package. After three years and hundreds of dollars spent, I remember feeling betrayed when Columbia issued "Taking Liberties," a collection of Elvis' rare b-sides. In an instant, one five-dollar album made twenty rarities commonplace. Nevertheless, I soldiered on; buying 10" collector's singles, alternate mixes, and all sorts of oddities. Then, the CD era began, and it started to happen all over again. Elvis changed labels (from Columbia to Warner Brothers), and his catalog albums were subjected to not one, not two, but three separate repackagings, each of them containing unique `rarities' that could be obtained nowhere else. A dedicated collector would require four versions of each Elvis Costello album. At this point, I finally surrendered, but I already spent enough to finance a Hawaiian vacation for some record executive and his family of four. Nowadays I simply stand by, amazed as the repackaging craze continues unabated. By my count, the above named collections represent the 10th and 11th re-compilation of Elvis Costello's `hits'. I'm not saying they are bad collections. The booklets contain song lyrics, which is a nice touch, especially for the older material. Naturally, the songs are great and I should know, because I bought each of these tracks at least a half-dozen times already. If you still don't own them, then go ahead and buy them. You will enjoy them. I, however, will stare at my room full of Elvis-related plastic and acknowledge the reason that I never made that trip to Hawaii myself.

4 out of 5 stars how many times can you jump out of the cupboard.......2007-05-12

i swore i wouldnt buy the elvis cannon again=LPs,Singles,3 sets of CDs etc., unless it was on SACD,and i wont.But the 2 comps were worth a listen,rock and roll for the unreleased stuff{how is it possible?}and 10 years for the 4th remaster.Seeing Elvis's Lexus commercial with him enjoying surround sound just makes me sad for what could have been.Rock on,EC!

4 out of 5 stars +1/2 -- The best early Costello single CD yet.......2007-05-09

You can't hardly swing a dead cat without hitting Costello's early material in reissue form. With Ryko and Rhino both having taken ever-lengthening passes at his albums, Hip-O picks up the catalog years of 1977-1986 for another round. In addition to a new pair of compilations (this one and "Rock and Roll Music") that skim the initial decade's eleven albums, their May 1 release date also marks the re-re-re-reissue of the albums on CD and the catalog's digital download debut (initially from iTunes, later from addtiional services).

After so many Costello reissues and compilations, this collection is mostly a retail shelving refresher and a beacon for Hip-O's album reissue and digital programs; all 22 of these tracks have been available on CD before. And as with other single-disc Costello anthologies such as Sony's 1990 19-track "Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions" and Ryko's 1994 22-track "Very Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions," there's simply too much worthy material in Costello's initial eleven albums (not to mention assorted singles and B-sides) to fully essay in 80 minutes.

What you get here is a well drawn sketch that provides the neophyte a sense of Costello's incredible torrent of early creativity, the sustain of his first few years, a few missteps in the mid-80s, and a stronger-than-ever comeback with 1986's "King of America" and "Blood & Chocolate" LPs." Though fans of the albums will mentally flinch at the inter-album segues (and thus the missing classics), condensing Costello's career arc does demonstrate how his punk-era angst and blistering song-writing aged and then reasserted itself in a more mature, but no less powerful form a decade later. Reducing 10 years to a single CD also creates a bit of genre whiplash as Costello applied himself to rock, punk, pop, soul, R&B blues, and jazz.

As on Ryko's 1994 collection, Costello aided in the track selection. No surprise then that there are 19 tracks in common with Ryko's earlier release. The three substitutions add the essential "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes," "Almost Blue," and "New Lace Sleeves" in place of the expendable "Watch Your Step," "New Amsterdam," and "Love Field," making this the best single-disc Costello anthology on the market. Costello fans are better off making their own anthologies from the original albums, but those just coming to his work decades after the fact will find this an excellent primer. 4-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

      This smoker should be essential for any fans of true UK garage and particularly, Todd Edwards. Todd blends 17 garage rippers from the i! Records catalog. 6 Todd tracks...Tuff Jam, Filthy Rich Criso, MJ Cole,and Industry Standard make appearances as well...i! Records stuff has been hard to come by, and this compilation is great for driving...Transferring the vinyl is such a chore...Buy without fear...

        There are only two good hip-hop magazines in the US, and Murder Dog is at the top (The Ave. is second). Lifestyle rag? Not for a *minute*. The magazine is strictly underground hip-hop. Anyone who even remotely cares about hip-hop should grab this two-CD set. Murder Dog was writing about David Banner, Pastor Troy, DJ Screw (and his H-Town disciples: Swishahouse), Planet Asia, and TI when your mama was in diapers. And all of those artists represent here, with some early, early tracks. Where are they now? On major labels. As if that weren't enough, this compilation's got 37 tracks from cities like Chicago & San Diego to Ripley, MS and Arcata, CA. There are artists, producers, rappers representing these towns, but they are getting *slept on* like a new Sealy Posturepedic. Some of these underground artists have put out 2 or 3 albums that bang like I-can't-say-on-MSN. If you think I work for Blood Rush, Murder Dog's label, so be it, but they don't need to pay anyone to hype this s*** up. That's enough from me, just obtain this now, but get those subwoofers repaired first. I coulda filled up this box with stuff like: "This shznit is banging, son!!!!!!!!" "This is *too* slamming, dog!!!!". Oh yeah, The Blood Rush label came out with some compilations of underground hip-hop artists from Kansas City, MO, Gary, IN, and a few others. Peace. chantdown, from NO "street team" or "marketing department"

          3 out of 5 stars A varied collection from the stalwart metal festival.......2006-06-30

          Wacken is known around the world as one of the most successful and longest running hard rock and metal festivals. This is a collection of tunes from bands who have played the gig over it's history. It should be noted that these aren't performances from the actual festival but just tunes from the bands that have been there. Thus we get a good spread of the hard music spectrum, from the black/death of Dimmu Borgir to the more thrash leanings of Overkill and Sodom right through to the traditional metal of Savatage, Metal Church and Rage. Hard rock is also represented as we get tracks from DAD, Doro and there is also power metal such as Hammerfall and Primal Fear. Heck, there are even tunes by Angra and Stratovarius - what do you call them? Melodic power metal??

          Whether you buy this grab bag of goodies is very much based on your personal preferences. Taking a look at the track listing will probably tell you if your collection needs this, or if you've been to Wacken (and plenty of people have) you might find this a cool little reminder of the gig. For the general metal fan it all comes down to if there are enough bands here you haven't heard, as an intro to a whole bunch of acts this isn't a bad double disc to purchase especially if you can grab it cheap.

          For me, personal faves of disc one would include the tracks by:
          Savatage, Pretty Maids, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Sodom and Doro.
          Disc two highlights would comprise:
          DAD, Angra and Stratovarius, the latter band providing a cover of the Scorpions Blackout.

          5 out of 5 stars The Best Metal Has To Offer On One CD!.......2000-06-17

          The Wacken Open-Air Festival has become an institution. This CD captures this institution and gives you the best there is to offer. It collects all forms of metal that have played at Wacken and presents them in all their Live Glory on this 2 disk set. Be it speed, fantasy, death, black, hardcore, etc... it's all here. The quality is low on some of the songs, but overall the sound is surprisingly good on this CD. I would suggest this CD for anyone who lives metal and wants a collection that will get plenty of time in their CD player. A listing of the bands... Disk 1 - Motorhead, Savatage, Dimmu Borgir, Pretty Maids, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Tank, Grave Digger, Sodom, Fates Warning, Primal Fear, Anvil, Riot, Warrior, Doro, Metal Church, The Bullheadz. Disk 2 - Saxon, Virgin Steel, Mercyful Fate, Twisted Sister, Tygers of Pan Tang, Raven, Stratovarius, Randicalla, Overkill, Axel Rudi Pell, Hammerfall, D.A.D, Tiamat, Angra, Nevermore, Rage.
