Amazon.com essential recording
Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even McCartney could still rock, and the amazement on "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knock-offs to reggae and to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. --Chris Nickson --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Breaking the Barriers.......2007-06-29

This was the album where the Beatles grew up and moved into a more mature and less organised sound. That road had begun with "A Day In a Life" and "Within You Without You" and "Good Morning" in Sgt Peppers - but the Beatles were still a smart pop rock band then.

In the White Album, there is a wonderful sense of a loss of control - and yet this is still the Beatles at their creative peak. Not caring what people think, they're just playing to the maximum of their abilities. And shattering barriers.

The power of their varied personalities comes through. And different sides of their personality. Who cares about anything except the music I'm feeling now? seems to be the prevalent thought here. The White Album is the Beatles Matured - who would have imagined that the Beatles would create "Helter Skelter"? or "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"...Epic stuff that certified that the Beatles could rock. "Dear Prudence" and "Sexy Sadie" and "Blackbird" are eminently listenable. In fact - apart from some ditties and departures - the album is strikingly distinctive as a playground of sounds - it is dynamic from one end to the other and still eminently listenable and deep.

How do you define genius? This is one hard album to ignore.

Some of the Beatles Best Work.......2007-06-27

Wow...this brings back great memories. The songs are so diverse and unusual, showing their true talent and creative song writing abilities. The songs are fun and strange all at the same time. It is one of my favorites of the Beatles. When you can have "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Rocky Raccoon" and "Blackbird" in one package....what more can you ask!

It's Four Solo Albums & Still Great.......2007-06-23

This was on sale way Back in November 1968, for $5.00. That was the best five Bucks I ever spent. By 1968 after Eight years Together, The Beatles had just about seen it all, and they were very close to imploding. But, Lucky for all of us John, Paul, George & Ringo were on top of their Game and with the "White Album" they Presented their Best Songwriting and their greatest Playing over the Span of the 30 Tracks Here.
From: "Back in the USSR" all the way thro' to "Goodnight" and my favorite Track in reverse: "Revolution #9" you get a Beatle Album So Different & so Bold in it's Scope and Range from anything else they Gave us. We were Very Lucky to Have this band on the Planet from: 1964-70. It will never happen again in our Lifetime, But here it is, in all it's Glory...

There are almost 1,000 reviews posted here and About 95 Per-Cent of those Reviews are Gonna tell you how GREAT this is, and it is, Don't waste your Time Reading About this Record, BUY IT NOW.

The Beatles (The White Album).......2007-06-13

Good luck on locating this exceptional recording, sound, material stereo separation.

My second-favorite Beatles' album.......2007-06-12

This has long been my favorite Beatles' album second only to 'Revolver.' Due to its massive length, there are numerous different musical genres represented, enough to please every type of fan. It also seems to be their album with the least amount of songs played on the average oldies or classic rock station. Since there were no singles drawn from this album, these aren't songs the casual or new fan is likely to be very familiar with due to their lack of radio representation. And while some people do feel that it would have been a lot tighter and more manageable had it been just a single album, the problem is that no two people can agree on just what should have been excluded and included. (Probably my top vote for what should have been left off is the inane rubbishy "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.")

The songs range from rough hard rock such as "Yer Blues," "Helter Skelter," and "Everybody's Got Something to Hide, Except Me and My Monkey," poppy songs such as "Martha My Dear" and "Don't Pass Me By" (the first song Ringo wrote entirely on his own), country-western-style songs like "Rocky Raccoon" (though I usually skip this one now), softer songs like "Long, Long, Long" (one of my favorites), "Julia," and "Blackbird," and songs that are just plain weird, like "Wild Honey Pie," "Glass Onion," and "Revolution 9." Being very into the avant-garde, I've always loved "Revolution 9" and have even listened to it on repeat a number of times. While it's obviously not to everyone's tastes, one has to admit that this is a fascinating musical collage. (The placement of "Good Night," the final track, right after this song has also got to be the biggest juxtaposition on any Beatles' album ever!) And since a lot of these songs were not recorded with all four bandmembers together in the studio, it often feels like a collection of their solo songs instead of a team effort by a real band. However, this also serves to demonstrate how they had grown as musicians since the early Sixties, with a unique musical style emerging for each of them. In particular we can hear how George had grown by leaps and bounds, proving he had come into his own as a great singer and songwriter. Additionally, the often stripped-down sound can feel kind of refreshing after the overproduced songs of the previous year, whose core essences had been smothered by layer after layer and overdub and overdub, which also gives a lot of them a more dated feel instead of sounding truly classic and timeless.

Above all, this is doubtless in the Top 5 of their greatest albums, and with enough musical styles to keep everyone happy, should be highly recommended to anyone interested in branching out and exploring songs that are less pop-oriented and radio-friendly than the songs on their more-widely-played albums. It's also very special to me since it was almost the last album I ever heard in this lifetime, having played it the night before I was almost killed in a very serious car accident.

Album Description

Comedian Lewis Black, best known for his caustic yet hilarious social commentary as a commentator on Comedy Central's Daily Show, unleashes nearly an hour of his insightful material on this CD. Recorded just shortly before Thanksgiving 1999, we catch Lewis on one of his incredible tirades against all things inane and moronic, be it the weather person, or Bill Clinton's definition of "is."

This double-disc reissue documents one of the more curious careers in country music. Both 1978's White Mansions and 1980's The Legend of Jesse James are Southern song cycles that were conceived by Britain's Paul Kennerley, then an unknown songwriter who somehow recruited a high-profile cast for each. A Civil War saga from the Southern perspective, White Mansions suffers from caricature and cliché but benefits from signature contributions by Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, and Eric Clapton. Jesse James has more focus and narrative momentum, with Levon Helm, Johnny Cash, and Emmylou Harris in lead roles. Though the albums are more noteworthy for artistic ambition than memorable material, Kennerley subsequently became a successful Nashville songwriter and Harris's husband from 1985 to 1993. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:

Legend of Jesse James.......2007-05-13

I had heard of this album in 1981 or so. Although I have the LP I wanted the
CD also. I really like the story telling aspect of this cd. Starting with the
first tract completely through the last. Also, the caliber of the singers
included really pleased me. Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash and Levon Helm's
voices are so well suited for the characters that they portray. It also made
me interested enough to do a little history reading on the real Jesse James.
History would be a lot more interesting to people, I think, if more were
presented in such a well done way.

A Gem.......2007-04-11

My husband bought the LP years ago and pretty much wore it out. When I bought this CD for him as a gift he was thrilled to hear elements of the recordings he says he never heard on the LP. We are both very happy with this CD and have told many of our friends and relatives who are interested in the history of the US during the civil war and post civil war period. I wish they would make a video of this even if they have to recast the parts with contemporary singers to replace those who have left this planet.

Two Magnificent and Historically Accurate Song Cycles About the American South.......2006-09-01

I accidentally ran into the cassette version of "The Story of Jesse James" probably shortly after the cassette was released. My 35 year old daughter remembers well hearing it played over and over again, when she was a child. Naturally, the tape finally wore out and I had no idea where to find another copy. I felt an unbelievable sense of loss because of this for many years, until I recently decided to search "Jesse" on Amazon.com, hoping to find that it had been re-released as a CD.

When I found that "White Mansions", which I had never even heard of before, had been combined into a double CD set with "Jesse", I was ecstatic and I immediately ordered two copies of the set, one for my car and one for my house. I found that I had to immerse myself in hearing "Jesse", until my "thirst" for it had been satisfied, before I could bring myself to listen seriously to "White Mansions". However, the Civil War/the War Between the States/the War of Northern Aggression/the Late Unpleasantness, as it is variously called, has always extremely interested me and filled me with great sadness, especially since most people today do not understand the complexities of the war, its many heart-breaking aspects, and how lasting its influence has been on our country.

These song cycles are replete with superb music and equally superb singers whose voices fit the characters who tell the story of the Civil War from the Southern white point of view in "White Mansions" and the story of Jesse James and the James-Younger Gang in "The Story of Jesse James". These song cycles are most highly recommended by me, however, not only because of their superb music and vocalists, but also because they are historically so accurate. I am a history buff and I know Civil War history and the lives and activities of the James brothers and the Younger brothers very well. My only bone to pick with the cycles is the song "High Walls" on "Jesse". Although I enjoy the song greatly, I personally do not believe that Jesse James ever was so self-pitying, although he probably did regret the path that he had chosen, after he had matured and had become a loving husband and father who had decided to settle down on a farm with his family.

I most highly recommend this set to anyone who appreciates the best in country music, to anyone who is interested in the Civil War, especially those who are interested in the different points of view of its Southern caucasian socio-economic groups, and/or to those who are interested in the war's resulting production of some of our nation's most notorious outlaws. I am now also so emotionally involved in "White Mansions", as well as in "Jesse", that today, I literally burst out with a loud exclamation concerning what had just been sung in one of its songs, while I was driving my car, startling my friend who was riding with me and embarrassing myself!

A secret treasure!.......2006-02-17

I bought "The legend of Jesse James" vinyl LP in 1980 when I was 17 and was immediately struck by the solid writing, emotional narrative and excellent musicianship found on this concept album. I remember "One more shot" got some airplay on country radio stations at the time, but without the rest of the album to provide the appropriate context, the single didn't have much impact. One listen to the entire album, and it's hard not to be impressed by this collection of country/folk/rock jewels.

This 2-CD set was my first introduction to "White Mansions", Paul Kennerley's original Southern Americana musical history lesson. This album is as well produced and the song writing as strong as on "Jesse James". However, this collection is not as emotionally engaging as the tracks on "Jesse James". The performances are all first rate and Waylon Jennings' vocals on this album are perhaps his best ever and proves that he was at his peak in the late 1970s!

Anyone that listens to this compilation of two great country concept albums will become instant fans. I sincerely hope more people will find this secret treasure.

The CD to save if your house was on fire!.......2005-12-04

White Mansions and especially The Legend of Jesse James gives me chills when I listen to it. I grew up in Clay County,Missouri right up the road from the James Farm. This music is so authentic in the style and the way the voices sound as if they are truly Missouri locals. Anybody who knows the true outlaw story of the James Boys knows this cd is so dead on it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Jesse James is not just a train robber but a true southern farmer turned guerilla who just wanted his money back from the Yankee Feds. This CD has the best I believe of Waylon & Jessi, Johnny Cash and Levon Helm singing in a southern rock style that will have you swilling sweetea out of a mason jar. If you like hog callers and mules, tobacco and whiskey culture and realize the Civil War really started on the southern Frontier in Missouri, buy this you will play it for years!!!

The Whole Blue Eyed Gospel Soul Thing Rolled Into One.........2007-02-13

White Trash were an interesting band of jazz,soul,funk,gospel all rolled into one large cacophony of sound reminiscent of what was going down at the time with the likes of Delaney @ Bonnie, Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Blood Sweat @ Tears, The Flock..The maniacal screaming albino keyboard rocker Edgar, whose blues man brother Johnny Winter joins him on a track released this 2 LP LIVE set that is all shucking and jive, good musicians with the likes of Rick Derringer and Jerry LaCroix, an audible horn section ..all pretty unique stuff where musicianship was all very important.
Edgar Winter was a trip.

Great album -- really captures the concert feeling.......2007-02-03

This one is about having a great time with a BIG band, soulful grooves, horns, and a lot (maybe too much) of screaming. It's a little sloppy at times, "Tobacco Road" goes on a little too long, but you also get Jon Smith's wonderful sax work, some of Rick Derringer's best playing, and an overall feeling of energy and interaction and love of the music that puts a smile on your face. I had the good luck to see this band in the early 70s at the Academy of Music, and while I kept waiting for Johnny to show up (he didn't), it was still one of the most exciting (and loud) nights of live music I've ever experienced. "Save the Planet" is like going to church.

UNDERRATED.......2007-01-09

AS MY TITLE INDICATES >>THIS WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING LIVE BANDS ON ANY TOUR. THIS GROUP IN MY OPINION WAS VASTLY UNDER-RATED.

I LOVE THE HORRIBLE RECORDING ON THE ALBUM>>THE CD HAS LOST ALL THE FAT IN THE BOTTOM END .

Peels the paint off the walls.......2006-02-11

I first heard this album in the early 70's in high school. Now I've turned my own kids (21, 20, 16, 16 and 13) onto it. They can't believe that you could once go into a club and hear bands like this LIVE. They only listen to classic stuff I give them now; there's nothing on the radio that remotely comes close to the gut-wrenching energy of great musicians playing live at full throttle. If you only know Edgar Winter from his "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride" days, you've got an eye-opening experience ahead of you. Listen in particular to Edgar's 18 second full-throated stratospheric sustained vocal in Tobacco Road. You could refinish furniture by putting it in front of the speakers with this song turned up. An absolute MUST HAVE CD.

"People keep askin' me - where's your brother?".......2005-11-23

It's truly a shame that more people aren't familiar with this album. Simply put, Roadwork has got to be one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. From the gospel-tinged "Save the Planet" to the raw blues of "Tobacco Road," this recording just grabs you right from the first song and just won't let go. In addition to being an amazing keyboard and saxophone player, Edgar Winter is an incredible vocalist. When you add the incendiary Jerry La Croix, an equally amazing vocalist, the result sends chills down your spine. For you guys who are air guitar specialists, I recommend that you check out Rick Derringer's rendition of Chuck Berry's "Back in the USA." Derringer proves beyond a doubt why he's a legend on the six string. But it's not enough just to have Rick Derringer on the scene. Edgar introduces his brother Johnny for a fiery version of "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo."There are so many highlights on this recording that it's hard to select just one as a favorite. Certainly one of the highlights is "Tobacco Road." After you've heard Edgar Winter's White Trash work out on this cut, it's just like there's nothing more to be said. If I had to pick just one cut to represent the genius and passion of this album, I'd go with the old rhythm and blues classic "Turn on Your Love Light." Listen as the horns blast out that classic riff and then let Jerry La Croix take you on a trip where the soul of man never dies. This is rock n roll with a vengeance! Or, as Jerry exhorts the crowd at the Apollo: "If you feel like lettin' it out, hot damn, let it out."

It is so GREAT to have the TUBES on CD!
I have been a TUBES fan for decades-- yup, decades!
They've never sounded better than they do on CD.
Before purchasing this CD, my collection consisted of
mostly LP's. The CD's sound so much better.
It's great to be able to take the TUBES with me in my car too!
This CD has all of their best hits. If you are a TUBES fan,
you'll know all the words.
If you're not a fan yet, you will be after you hear this CD!

Great stuff!.......2006-02-25

Great recordings from clean masters. These tunes are from my '70's high school days, and really bring back the fun.

I remember heading for the beach with the Tubes cranking out of the Ford Maverick...well, as much cranking as the puny tape players would go back then...with my buddy Ken and my girlfriend Debbie, as we all skipped 5th and 6th periods to go surfing!

I gotta buy the tubes "Live" album next, as it has the best versions of "White Punks on Dope" and "What Do You Want From Life" on it.

Customer Reviews:

Two of his best!.......2007-06-15

This is a great opportunity to have both these albums on CD. I have both on CD and vinyl already, but the remastering is very good. Despite being 30 years since original release they are still a great collection of blues. Check out the re-issued "Johnny Winter" "Second Winter" and "Progressive Blues Experiment" CDs.

About time these albums were re released........2007-06-12

Having owned both of them on vinyl since the late 70's I was amazed to see that finally they are out together no less.Two great albums by a man on top of his game. By the way my turn table has gone the way of the steam engine but the albums are still in pristine order.

JW in His Prime, Taking His Time.......2007-05-15

Firstly, you probably already have these on vinyl and want to know if the quality is there. Yes, these are Sony authorized productions. In fact, they are digitally remastered...it's sounds great, no worries. And yes both albums are on a single CD. Nothing But.. has been out for years and is a great blues album. Backed by Muddy's band including James Cotton on harp, this recording of original material has JW singing good time, rough, heartfelt blues. Unlike the earlier arena rock albums, he slows it down and delivers core blues. Also the relaxed time and fun in studio really comes through here. Now this is the first I've found White, Hot & Blue on CD, and thank God for that. This is a total gem of a recording. Same core blues, but definitely more plugged in. Backed by a very tight group of smoking players, this finds JW on primarily covers, putting the originals in their best possible light. The surprise is Pat Ramsey on harp, I can't say if he's technically great, but he sounds awesome. The best description of this album, "slinky." These recordings supported JW on tour enlightening us to purely American music played by a man that can only be described as a National Treasure. I dare you to listen to these recordings and be in a bad mood.

Amazon.com essential recording

Better known as the "White Album," this remastered version of the Beatles' 1968 classic was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even Paul could still rock, and the amazing thing about "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knockoffs to reggae to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. --Chris Nickson

As a reviewer wrote on January 12, 2000, why not the MONO mix for this "special" re-release?

The music is 5 stars, but 1 star for the uninspired release.

I feel unworhty to comment on this album........2005-10-08

I know all the cliches and all the buzz words and the hows and the whys. I can't add much more to what has been already said by the excellent reviewers except EMI/Capital remaster this mother or else you'll have me to deal with.

How can people not like The Beatles? It astounds me.

INTERESTING MELANGE OF MUSIC BY THE FAB FOUR..........2005-08-04

This is an eclectic and interesting two disc CD by The Beatles. It runs the gamut of musical genres: rock, blues, pop, and country/folk. It is wildly divergent in style from their previous release, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", as it is certainly less experimental.

It has some great rock based tunes, such as "Back in the U.S.S.R.", which seems to be a parody of the Beach Boys' sound. It contains a good blues based number, "Why Don't We Do It In The Road". It also has some interesting country/folk inspired songs, such as "Rocky Raccoon", and "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill". They also included a song with a British Music Hall feel to it, "Honey Pie", which leaves me cold. Of course, the requisite upbeat pop song is covered by "Ob-La-Di, Ob La Da", which I love for its uplifting beat. If you want a pop ballad, you need only to listen to "Blackbird". This CD has something for everyone.

Warning! This album is addictive........2005-06-22

Today it is new to many people. However for me it is a slice of time from my history. As with all great art after one does the best that can be done with the standards, the next step is to go out to left field that threatens to lose followers and may or may not work. Just when you thought The Beatles time had come to take that step, they came out with "The White Album" and proved that no one knows where the classics end and experimental must begin.

I was fortunate enough to obtain one of the scarce copies in 1969. And it seemed funny to be playing "Back In The U.S.S.R." at West Point New York. As for the rest of the album many reviews look on this as an eclectic collection. On the surface it maybe. Then you can hear and feel the underlying pattern of the Beatles. They are just extending their range and keeping that which makes them unique.

I believe this album is addictive.

Most people look favorable on this album others look at it as a transitional time for the Beatles. Ether way they realize the Beatles as any artist have down the universal fundamentals that make good music and have adapted it to a unique style.

The few detractors are usually people that do not understand what goes into music and would benefit from an appreciation class.

True some tracks probably would not be purchased as a single. It is the peril of many albums that they must carry some of the weaker contributions.

Bottom line is that this item is worth the investment.

* * * * * GREAT ALBUM * * * * *- CAPITOL PLEASE REMASTER.......2003-05-06

Well what can I say that many have not said here already. All I know that this a great album that I still, after all of these years, play the entire album in one sitting (over 90 min). I have the Album, tape, and both the old 1987 and the new 30th annv CDs, yes what a [...] to buy this newest one. I thought it was a remastered version but was sad to hear and then later read that it was not. I like the package even thought it is so small. That is why the LP was so cool, big pics, big words, big posters and great sound and so on.

This album has a life of it's own and should not be compared to SGT Pepper or Revolver or others. It is a different type of album, but not a concept album. It does not sound like any of their other works or anyone else in 1968. Pepper and Mystery Tour had been done and the summer of love was over. The Beatles must have had a different idea and it seems to have worked, for me it has.

George Martin has said he thought it would have made a great single album of 12-14 songs, but what songs do you leave off??? I have tried to pick 12-14 and can't do it. This album sold very very well in 1968-69 and beyond. If you do not have the CD then I recommend you find a good record player and pick up a clean copy and give it a whirl along with all of their other albums. You will like all of them. Then when they remaster or do that SACD or DVD audio thing then get this and all of their other albums too. You can't go wrong with this album.

Whatever you do just sit back relax and give it a listen. Remember, this is The Beatles.

Please please us...

Customer Reviews:

A Forgotten Treasure.......2007-06-21

I was a teen when this ablum was first released. At the time, 'Give Blood' was the hit single and the sole reason I bought 'White City'. This ended up being one of those vinyl albums that I played the hell out of. It's truly epic.... meant to be listened to in order. I never upgraded to cassette or CD, I just forgot about it. Until now. It's really such a treat to listen to this all over again. If you are a fan of Pete's, Pink Floyd (Dave Gilmour) or the Who (Tommy), I think you will love this album. My favorite song on this is 'Hiding Out', so I appreciated the bonus track.

Not a Worthwhile Upgrade.......2007-02-26

If you don't already own this title, by all means, get it. This and Who Came First are my favorite solo outings by Pete. I would buy this CD based only on the title song - I like it that much. That said, the entire Pete Townshend remaster series is a disappointment. I had a hard time deciding, with each title, which one I was going to keep - the original or the remaster. I finally decided that, based on the extra tracks, I'd keep the remastered discs.

The remasters all have a greater clarity, but they possess a hard-edged sound that should have been rectified during remastering. Empty Glass is especially bad about this. So, if you already own these, I'd recommend living with them a while longer.

Overlooked and Underappreciated.......2007-02-22

Many long-time fans of The Who missed out on the underpromoted solo efforts by various members of the band. Of all those works that I have heard, only Pete Townshend's have any real merit. I was pretty stoked when I read in the English music press that some of Pete's early work would be remastered and re-released. But it was obvious from the article that the writer didn't think much of White City.
I disagree. White City is nearly a masterpiece, and is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated of all Townshend's works. I liked it when it was originally released and I like it just as much in the remastered edition. While Roger Daltrey was the Who's powerhouse vocalist, it was always Townshend to whom the band turned when the vocals required a touch of nuance and emotion. And on White City, there is a lot of both.
White City itself is apparently one of the housing "estates" that are the legacy of the postwar socialist policies of the British government. Our equivalent in the US is "the projects". And both seem equally mind-numbing and violent places in which to live. This "estate" seems to be the subject of about half the CD. Songs like Hiding Out, I Am Secure, and White City Fighting paint quite a picture.
Lyrically, White City is flawless. Musically, I have my favorites. Those are the hard-driving Give Blood, the jaunty Brilliant Blues, the pounding Face the Face, the angry Secondhand Love, and the soothing I Am Secure. If you are an old Who fan and never got around to hearing any of Townshend's solo work, well you ought to hear this. And by the way, I had none of the defects on my CD mentioned by another reviewer. Maybe his was from a bad batch.

Great album from Pete, Great re-release except..........2007-01-27

Ditto to all the previous reviews; however, my copy seems to be defective.

Like a previous customer, one of my favorite tracks is "Hiding Out", and I was excited to have the rare 12" Mix availible here. Unfortunately, 4 minutes and 43 seconds into the track there appears to be a glitch. It's present when I play the CD, when I rip it in iTunes, and even when I open the track in Adobe Audition.

The disc is of course brand new and unscathed, so I wonder if this is a defect in the binary data when the disc was manufactured? If anyone else has this problem, maybe Universal will conduct a recall. If not, I'll just send it back to Amazon for a replacement.

Pete's Best (with note on "Night School").......2006-11-12

My favorite Pete Townshend solo album is 1985's "White City," a magnificent record with what is arguably Townshend's best collection of solo songs ever. Of course I love his other solo work, but for me, "White City" is Pete's crowning achievement outside of the Who. Thrilling rockers include "Give Blood," "Face The Face" (a Top 40 hit), "Secondhand Love," and "White City Fighting" (co-written with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, who also plays on the album), and great pop songs like "Brilliant Blues," "Hiding Out," and "Crashing By Design." Also, this new remaster of "White City" contains three excellent bonus tracks: "Night School" (previously only heard on the "White City" videocassette, currently out-of-print), Pete's cover of the English Beat's "Save It For Later," and an extended mix of "Hiding Out." However, I must say something about "Night School"---this is NOT the version heard on the "White City" video! I've always loved the original version of this song, as it's one of Pete's grooviest tunes ever (it even has a cool disco beat to it), with great vocals & lyrics from Pete. I remained puzzled for years why Pete never properly released the song, so naturally I was thrilled to see it listed as a bonus track on this remastered "White City" CD, and I promptly bought the disc. To my disappointment, this is an *alternate* version of "Night School." It's still very good---the song still rocks---but this version is a bit slower than the one on the "White City" video, with most of Pete's original vocals & lyrics removed. So, what happened to the original version of "Night School", Pete? That's the version I wanted! Oh well...perhaps Pete can correct this problem at a later date. And it takes nothing away at all from the "White City" album itself, which remains Pete Townshend's solo masterpiece. It's an outstanding album. Buy it!

Come on--five stars at any convention.......2005-08-15

Please...neither American political party is worth a flinged booger... but the OFF WHITE ALBUM is, and then some... this work of art snuck Miller into the class of George Carlin and Richard Pryor, with Sam Kinnison and Eddie Murphey sliding in as well (Sam's entry into this zone by virtue of one single LOUDER THAN HELL effort and Eddie could have retired after RAW--and possibly should have). Although it is clear that Pryor and Carlin's greatness becomes multiplied by their prolific output each, Dennis remains no slouch. He has also developed a prideful body of work--but nothing that comes close to harking back to his atom bomb--the Thor's hammer of comedy--THE OFF WHITE ALBUM. His rants about the deep south linger like the palate of a fine port. As for Sam, R.I.P., dude--oh OOOOOOH! Still waiting on Chris Rock's masterpiece, but I think he's close. As for the players from Lenny Bruce on back to Vaudeville, that's an argument of era and style better saved for another time, but frankly, I do not recall the need to gasp for air from hearing Henny Youngman one-liners. In the case of Bruce--he's remembered more for being censored than for being funny. I'll take Michael Winslow's grotesque noises or even some perfectly-timed Steven Wright dead pan genius before that ancient stuff, bless their souls. Although Don Rickles had his moments and Myron Cohen's genius was pretty subtle. Also, I am sure Bill Cosby, who is a unique genius, affected more than just Seinfeld. I have to give an honorable mention to that filthy vile freak, Andy Silverstein from NE Philly, er...Andrew Dice Clay from Brooklyn--his 15 minutes of fame floored me into critical condition, viz a viz any episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but that guy flamed hard. I saw him at a small club in Boston in 1994. The unknown opening act was the peak of the evening. Speaking of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Richard Lewis is an underrated comic, but I am still waiting for his masterpiece too. Shouts out to Rodney Dangerfield, David White, Andy Kaufman, Richard Belzer, Josh Brewster, Steve Martin, Christopher Lloyd, Jim Carey, Foster (hiccup) Brooks, Bernard Fox, Red Skelton, Jack Martling, Larry Miller, Gary Shandling, Dick York, Cheech Marin, Yakov Smirnoff, Eugene Levy, Victor Borge, Leon Askin, John Valby, Jerry Seinfeld, Strom Thurmond, Thomas Chong, Howard Caine, and Robin Williams. Aren't there any funny chicks? Maybe Phyllus Diller, Marion Lorne, Agnes Moorehead, and Ruth Buzzy.

Funny As Hell!.......2004-10-31

It's funny how the liberal democrats have got so desperate, they have chosen to grade Dennis Miller's CD on the basis he now has educated himself on the fact liberals could damage this country with there wishy-washy attitude on our security. To quote Dennis, he said "I stopped being a liberal when I got to the point where I wasn't sure about my guesswork." Great line! This is a hilarious CD no matter who he supports. Dennis rules!

Classic Dennis Miller - and his best work yet!.......2004-06-02

This 1988 album featuring the wise-guy, smart aleck Dennis Miller is much better than the Rants series, which was spiraling downhill to most people before 'The Rant Zone' in 2001 showed some new promise. Recorded during his SNL days, the crisp delivery and well timed humor of Dennis is perfect here. I wish he would have recorded more albums in the stand up format rather than books on tape that don't have an audience. It makes the listener enjoy the comedy much more. The album sound itself is mixed beautifully and deserves an A+, since many stand up comedy records seem to have to crowd louder than the performer.
If you like Dennis Miller, get this album. Some of the material is a bit dated but it definitely stands up over time and does not make it suffer due to Miller's excellent style.
The CD is only two tracks long, and this is a result of many late 80s CDs not yet being sophisticated to break down a comedy record into multiple topic tracks like they do now. Not a big deal though. It makes you remember the "Side A/B" from the cassette it was originally released on!
5/5 stars.

The Previous Reviewer.......2004-01-27

I'm rating this CD 5 stars simply based on the apparent fact that the previous reviewer seems to have defied the laws of physics by crawling up his own ass. Dennis Miller is hilarious, whether attacking right-wing idealogues, stewardesses, pompous celebrities, or, hell, even left-wing facists (like the previous reviewer) who think comedians are funny only if they toe the liberal line.

Dennis Miller when he was still funny.......2003-11-09

As much as it pains me to recommend anything by a guy who has since morphed into an hysterical, reactionary, completely unfunny right-wing nutjob, this CD is really quite good. This is Dennis Miller when he was sarcastic, witty, and smart; in other words, Dennis Miller before he crawled up W's ... to secure that almighty ditto-head dollar. Unfortunately I'm sure that buying this CD will help to further enrich this disgusting pig, but perhaps if a lot of people buy Miller's older work, he'll realize that pandering to the right isn't winning him any new fans.

There's a certain kind of music... got to make you jump and shout!.......2006-11-30

The late 60s / early 70s was a time of remarkable innovation in pop music. (The Beatles were at their zenith; Woodstock had just happened; artists were experimenting.) One of the directions was "rock music with a horn section." (Think "Blood, Sweat and Tears," "Traffic," and "Chicago Transit Authority" ... before they shortened their name and started pumping out the smarmy FM-radio ballads.)

Edgar Winter's "White Trash" band emerged from that era, and this debut recording stands up very nicely, 35 years later. Some of it is rockin' soul music, some of it is soulful rock music; all of it features a fat horn section and the vocal stylings of Jerry LaCroix and the ultra-white Edgar Winter. (He and his previously-famous brother, blues guitar-slinger Johnny, are both albino dudes, with white skin and pink eyes. But you'd never guess it by listening to 'em... if I can say so without offending anybody, their music is quite a few shades darker!)

Edgar tells the story of his rise to fame in the autobiographical song "Keep Playin' that Rock 'n' Roll." (a line of which is the title to this review.) It's a good 'un. Other personal favorites: "Save the Planet" (Edgar was WAY before Algore's time, and is more convincing to boot), the blues-soaked "I've Got News for You," and "Good Morning Music."

Blazing rock n' roll.......2006-01-20

I first heard and saw Edgar Winter as a teenager in 1972 quite by accident. I purchased tickets to see Humble Pie at Atlanta's old Municipal Auditorium, White Trash was the opening act, and guess who blew who off the stage? I was mesmerised by the sound and energy of Edgar & White Trash, so was my girlfriend (boy did I get lucky that night!). I soon purchased this album and 'Roadwork' and nearly wore the grooves off both. Keep Playin' That Rock N' Roll is in my opinion the quintesentail rock party tune, can't quit playing air guitar to it. What a great first release by an artist who could not survive the disco blitz of the late 70's. Every rock/blues fan should own 'White Trash'.

First Rocker for Edgar a Gem.......2005-10-12

I first heard Edgar Winter's White Trash as the opening act for Alice Cooper (it was my girlfriend's idea) in a packed arena in the spring of 1972. I was amazed; they stole the show, and I went right out the next day and bought this album.

A better live act than a studio one ("Roadwork", their only other release before Edgar turned pop-disco, is an incredible album), the debut album is nevertheless well-done, and a number of the songs reflect the energy of the group's live performances, especially the gospel numbers "Fly Away" and "Save the Planet", and the Ray Charles cover "I've Got News for You."

You can almost feel the sweat, sawdust, and smoke eminating from the pores of your speakers, and Jerry LaCroix's gravelly voice both blends with and counterpoints Edgar's high-pitched wails as the horns drive the engine.

They reunited for an album years later called "Edgar Winter's White Trash Revisited." A studio effort, it didn't have the quality of tunes or the drive of the original, but it still had those great voices. I'd love to see it on disc one day, as well as the live album Edgar did with his brother Johnny that featured one of the best rock and roll fifties-sixties medleys I've ever heard.

Edgar's debut album, "The Edgar Winter Experience", was a great 'small' album featuring Edgar singing a dozen of his own original jazz tunes, a totally different style. Love to hear that one again, too.

Till then, I'll groove on "White Trash" and "Roadwork."

Underrated Gem.......2005-04-30

On this brass-heavy hard rock album, there is not one track that is not wonderful. From the foot-stomping "Give It Everything You Got" to the burlesque beat of "I've Got News for You", this is a fine, fine album. Standout tracks include "Dying to Live", "Fly Away" and "You Were My Life", although ALL tracks resonate.

If you like Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears or Springsteen and the E-Street band, you gotta get this CD.

Edgar and the Boys Cook on this one!.......2005-03-18

How does one describe Edgar and White Trash? You have to hear 'em to to believe 'em. The album is one of those few great truly creative moments in American music. I first heard this ablbum when it originally came out in 1971, and I've never forgotten any of these songs. Get it and enjoy!

By the way, if you ever get a chance to Johnny Winter's "Jazz Blues Fusion" (1962?) that also is a truly fabulous experience.

Who are these Winter brothers???!!!
