Collection of Great Dance Songs [Original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
For those who spent the whole of the 1970s actually living on the dark side of the moon rather than listening to it, A Collection of Great Dance Songs offers an opportunity to hear some of the most timeless, thoughtful, and influential rock music ever made by rich, bitter Englishmen. The album's title certainly seems less deceptive now, considering just how much of the Floyd's instrumental ambience eventually seeped into the techno and dance scenes of the '90s. Initially released during one of those yawning epochs between studio albums (namely, The Wall and The Final Cut) this best-of collection cherry picks from Pink Floyd's 1970s material--the era when the band (and they were a band in those days) bestrode the stadiums of the world like light-show leviathans and sold records by the tons--and is only undermined by the omission of sprawling masterpieces such as "Echoes" and "Atom Heart Mother" (such were the time limitations of the old vinyl format). Never mind the dance floor, this a great portable Pink Floyd collection for long car journeys. --Kevin Maidment

5 out of 5 stars Selections from the Greatest Voice of the Last Hundred Years.......2007-03-13

Mario Lanza was, arguably, the greatest tenor and greatest singer of this and the last century. It is difficult to appreciate him without listening to a variety of selections. This collection has some of his best recordings and exhibits the versatility and variety that he possessed that permitted him to "crossover" from opera to popular music with a ease.

I recommend this for those who already know Lanza to some extent but want to go into more depth and understand his marvelous skills.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have .......2006-12-12

I had forgotten what a beautiful voice Mario Lanza had. This collection contains opera and pop selections that exhibit the power yet sweetness of his voice. Fortunately, we have his CD's and videos so we can remember and listen to his gorgeous, vibrant voice and personality. I highly recommend this collection along with his wonderful movies, especially The Great Caruso.

5 out of 5 stars The Mario Lanza Collection.......2006-11-10

I had forgotten just how beautiful a voice from the past was. It is a wonderful collection

4 out of 5 stars The MARIO LANZA Collection.......2006-08-19

extract from most important LPs. Brilliant sound quality from RCA. Also included are soundtrack recordings from some of his movies. The are several reissues from Mario Lanza but this one is a collection you should have.

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!!!!.......2005-10-19

The Mario Lanza Collection is a three CD set and it has 61 songs and they all sound great. The mastering on this set is excellent and the song choice is very very good. It would have been perfect if they added a forth CD with more Arias, Italian songs and Sacred Arias. BUT still this set is a great introduction to Lanza. Lanza's voice was powerful and beautiful; if you are a fan of great singing, you will love Lanza. Highlights on this CD set are; Be my Love, Because your Mine, Serenade, With a Song in My Heart, Temptation, The Lord's Prayer, Ciribirbin, O Solo Mio, Ariverducci Roma, and on and on. They are many many great songs on this set, and I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Many of my Favorites on One Album.......2007-03-10

This oddly titled album is really a greatest hits collection of some of Pink Floyd's most powerful songs. None of these are dance tunes in the traditional sense. All of them are powerful. Some are modified and tweaked, so you get a different slant on some favorites.

You start with One of These Days - a powerful instrumental piece of strength and anger. "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces," growls the singer. Follow that with Money, the classic tune about how people grub their entire lives for money - but in the end, money can make you pretty miserable.

Move on to Sheep, talking about how people tend to have herd-like tendencies. In Shine On you Crazy Diamond, it talks about how fresh people are when they're young, and how this is something we should strive to maintain as we grow up. The more poignant Wish You were Here is understood easily by anybody who is missing someone they care for.

You end up with the ultimate song of power for this band, Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. Played at just about every school around the world, it's not just about schoolkids, but about all of us in life, being squished into roles we have no interest in playing. Does anybody really need sarcasm and hostility laden down on them? I think not!

A great collection of songs with incredible lyrics and intricate melodies. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Technically the third Pink Floyd compilation album.......2005-11-29

Pink Floyd's 1981 best-of A Collection of Great Dance Songs is a fairly good compilation if you ask me.
Released in November of 1981, the album has a nice mix of songs from 1971-81.
The first compilation was 1971's Relics and the second was 1973's A Nice Pair which re-packaged the group's first two efforts as one double album.
Half of the tracks are altered in one way or the other on ACOGDS, so it is a pretty good collectors album for people who have most Pink Floyd albums, as opposed to a lot of other compilation albums that are boring because the songs are the same exact version as they were on their original album.
The reason for this album was that Floyd's label in America, Columbia wanted a best-of. Since Floyd were not a band known for hit singles, they were a band known for hit albums. The Floyd album covers, this one included, are always cool to collect.
This compilation starts with the standard version of One of These Days (a/k/a One of These Days I am Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces) is a good classic spooky song, which is always a good song to be on an album and is the version from Meddle. Money is great. The version of Money on Dance Songs is done by guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour with James Guthrie co-producing and engineering(as David Gilmour plays guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, vocals and produces himself save Dick Parry's saxophone) because Capitol/EMI in the US and Canada would not let the band have the rights to the song so David re-recorded this track note for note(some parts of the solos are different and you can tell soundwise the recording is from 1981). Sheep is the original version found on the album Animals.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond is altered here to include Parts 1, 2, 4 and 7. Wish You Were Here is the regular standard version. Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) has the single mix intro and the album version ending so a unique version here.
There are a whole lot of Floyd compilations, but I'd have to say this is one of the best and was the only best-of to sell well in the US as it hit the US Top 40 hitting #31 and going Gold in two months of release, eventually Double Platinum.
The remastering on this 2000 Capitol remaster was superbly handled by James Guthrie and Doug Sax.
If you want to get a good Floyd compliation but don't want to pay $30 for Echoes, get this collection.

4 out of 5 stars Worth the money.......2005-11-07

This album contains many classic songs, all from the most popular albums; "Dark Side of The Moon", "The Wall", "Meddle", "Wish You Where Here", and "Animals". While all of these songs are excellent, they are out of context. All of these albums flow seamlessly together, and fit perfectly. They do a good job of fitting the songs together on "Dance Songs", they don't have the feel of the original album.
I give these albums 4 stars because it is a compilation album, and takes the songs out of context. Even so, the songs themselves make it a great album.

4 out of 5 stars I can't hate the Floyd.......2005-10-23

The idea of breaking up concept albums, or any Pink Floyd album at all to give out a sparse, six song mix is confusing and at first you are angered at the idea, but put it in and the mix works somehow, and reminds you that no matter what order you listen to their songs, these (...)are worth every penny.

5 out of 5 stars The only Pink Floyd album you'll ever need..........2005-09-26

this is a fantastic hits album.... it has all the well-known and great songs on it....if you are a new floyd fan... get this album and it will be the only one you'll need.... money, wish you were here, and brick in the wall 2... what else you need?

      5 out of 5 stars Floyd's second compilation album is a unique collection given Japanese LP treatment.......2006-03-24

      Pink Floyd's 1981 best-of A Collection of Great Dance Songs is a fairly good compilation if you ask me.
      Released in November of 1981, the album has a nice mix of songs from 1971-81.
      The first compilation was 1971's Relics and the second was 1973's A Nice Pair which re-packaged the group's first two efforts as one double album.
      Half of the tracks are altered in one way or the other on ACOGDS, so it is a pretty good collectors album for people who have most Pink Floyd albums, as opposed to a lot of other compilation albums that are boring because the songs are the same exact version as they were on their original album.
      The reason for this album was that Floyd's label in America, Columbia wanted a best-of. Since Floyd were not a band known for hit singles, they were a band known for hit albums. The Floyd album covers, this one included, are always cool to collect.
      This compilation starts with the standard version of One of These Days (a/k/a One of These Days I am Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces) is a good classic spooky song, which is always a good song to be on an album and is the version from Meddle. Money is great. The version of Money on Dance Songs is done by guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour with James Guthrie co-producing and engineering(as David Gilmour plays guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, vocals and produces himself save Dick Parry's saxophone) because Capitol/EMI in the US and Canada would not let the band have the rights to the song so David re-recorded this track note for note(some parts of the solos are different and you can tell soundwise the recording is from 1981). Sheep is the original version found on the album Animals.
      Shine on You Crazy Diamond is altered here to include Parts 1, 2, 4 and 7. Wish You Were Here is the regular standard version. Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) has the single mix intro and the album version ending so a unique version here.
      There are a whole lot of Floyd compilations, but I'd have to say this is one of the best and was the only best-of to sell well in the US as it hit the US Top 40 hitting #31 and going Gold in two months of release, eventually Double Platinum.
      The remastering on this 2001 Toshiba-EMI remaster was superbly handled by James Guthrie and Doug Sax and has all of the original UK vinyl album packaging/artwork plus the picture labels as well.
      Recommended.

      5 out of 5 stars FOR COLLECTORS ONLY!.......2005-09-23

      The 5 star rating is for collectors that must have all material and cds/lps that pink floyd puts out. The actual songs are remastered and sound great! If you are looking for the most songs for your money check out Best of Echoes. It has all the songs here on it and many other great songs. This CD is for the "COLLECTORS" OR FLOYD-HEADS and not the casual buyer.

      1 out of 5 stars It deserves 0 stars........2005-07-26

      I love Pink Floyd. Love them. But this album confuses me. Why was this made? I'm not the kind of person who would dance to Pink Floyd. Actually, PF isn't the kind of band you dance to. This album was obviously released to bring in more money for the record company. If you're a new fan to Pink Floyd, don't buy this album. If you're a die-hard Pink Floyd fan, don't buy this album. If you're looking to waste some money, buy it then. This album is an insult to Pink Floyd and even compilations in general.

      2 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, Buy Echoes.......2005-03-27

      A Collection Of Great Dance Songs (1981.), a collection of 1970's Pink Floyd material

      'A Collection of Great Dance Songs' is quite simply a compilation whose continued production is no longer really justified. At the time of its release, it was definitely better and more meaningful than it is now as CDs had not come to the fore and your 45 min approx max. length LP was the main source of music media. Since then, a few Floyd compilations have been released which supercede it in selection and length, most notably, the 2001 double CD 'Echoes' compilation. For just a little more than the price you can pay for this CD (yes thats how much a rip off this CD really is now!) you can get Echoes and enjoy over 2 and a half hours of extensive Pink Floyd brilliance which gives you tracks right across the band's career spanning 4 decades. This CD instead gives you just a 45 minute effort which contains just the best of their 70's stuff - the compilation should be just made obsolete.

      So what is on the album? BY NO MEANS am I knocking the music on the album; Pink Floyd are one of my favourite bands and the music you are capturing on here is excellent, timeless stuff from their golden era, the 1970's. The album contains just 6 tracks. 'One of These Days' is from the 1971 Meddle album, which starts off this compilation. Following this is a 1981 version of 'Money'. Perhaps the idea of obtaining a different version of this 'Dark Side of the Moon' track is the only reason for possibly buying this compilation - it annoys me that it is always 'Money' that seems to be the flagbearer track for 'DSOTM' though when it is bettered by at least 4 tracks on the album - why isn't 'Time' on this compilation???? The other tracks on the album are 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' from 'Wish You Were Here', very much the Syd Barratt tribute album. 'Sheep' from 'Animals' is on here, as is 'Another Brick In the Wall Part II' from the Wall (why not Comfortably Numb instead??).

      So the music is excellent BUT the compilation is a rip off by todays standards when you match it against the 'Echoes' compilation. The CDs of this work basically act now as an enticer to new listeners to the Floyd who may think it is one of their albums and fall into the trap of wasting their money on it. Capitol Records should withdraw this compilation and stop potentially exploiting buyers with this overpriced outdated compilation and instead should solely promote compilations such as 'Echoes' or even 'Relics'.

      4 out of 5 stars Moby had nothing to do with this!.......2004-01-26

      Just in case you think this is a remix for club-goers, it isn't. It is what the other reviewers said, it is a compilation.

            For those who spent the whole of the 1970s actually living on the dark side of the moon rather than listening to it, A Collection of Great Dance Songs offers an opportunity to hear some of the most timeless, thoughtful, and influential rock music ever made by rich, bitter Englishmen. The album's title certainly seems less deceptive now, considering just how much of the Floyd's instrumental ambience eventually seeped into the techno and dance scenes of the '90s. Initially released during one of those yawning epochs between studio albums (namely, The Wall and The Final Cut) this best-of collection cherry picks from Pink Floyd's 1970s material--the era when the band (and they were a band in those days) bestrode the stadiums of the world like light-show leviathans and sold records by the tons--and is only undermined by the omission of sprawling masterpieces such as "Echoes" and "Atom Heart Mother" (such were the time limitations of the old vinyl format). Never mind the dance floor, this a great portable Pink Floyd collection for long car journeys. --Kevin Maidment

            5 out of 5 stars Many of my Favorites on One Album.......2007-03-10

            This oddly titled album is really a greatest hits collection of some of Pink Floyd's most powerful songs. None of these are dance tunes in the traditional sense. All of them are powerful. Some are modified and tweaked, so you get a different slant on some favorites.

            You start with One of These Days - a powerful instrumental piece of strength and anger. "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces," growls the singer. Follow that with Money, the classic tune about how people grub their entire lives for money - but in the end, money can make you pretty miserable.

            Move on to Sheep, talking about how people tend to have herd-like tendencies. In Shine On you Crazy Diamond, it talks about how fresh people are when they're young, and how this is something we should strive to maintain as we grow up. The more poignant Wish You were Here is understood easily by anybody who is missing someone they care for.

            You end up with the ultimate song of power for this band, Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. Played at just about every school around the world, it's not just about schoolkids, but about all of us in life, being squished into roles we have no interest in playing. Does anybody really need sarcasm and hostility laden down on them? I think not!

            A great collection of songs with incredible lyrics and intricate melodies. Highly recommended.

            5 out of 5 stars Technically the third Pink Floyd compilation album.......2005-11-29

            Pink Floyd's 1981 best-of A Collection of Great Dance Songs is a fairly good compilation if you ask me.
            Released in November of 1981, the album has a nice mix of songs from 1971-81.
            The first compilation was 1971's Relics and the second was 1973's A Nice Pair which re-packaged the group's first two efforts as one double album.
            Half of the tracks are altered in one way or the other on ACOGDS, so it is a pretty good collectors album for people who have most Pink Floyd albums, as opposed to a lot of other compilation albums that are boring because the songs are the same exact version as they were on their original album.
            The reason for this album was that Floyd's label in America, Columbia wanted a best-of. Since Floyd were not a band known for hit singles, they were a band known for hit albums. The Floyd album covers, this one included, are always cool to collect.
            This compilation starts with the standard version of One of These Days (a/k/a One of These Days I am Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces) is a good classic spooky song, which is always a good song to be on an album and is the version from Meddle. Money is great. The version of Money on Dance Songs is done by guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour with James Guthrie co-producing and engineering(as David Gilmour plays guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, vocals and produces himself save Dick Parry's saxophone) because Capitol/EMI in the US and Canada would not let the band have the rights to the song so David re-recorded this track note for note(some parts of the solos are different and you can tell soundwise the recording is from 1981). Sheep is the original version found on the album Animals.
            Shine on You Crazy Diamond is altered here to include Parts 1, 2, 4 and 7. Wish You Were Here is the regular standard version. Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) has the single mix intro and the album version ending so a unique version here.
            There are a whole lot of Floyd compilations, but I'd have to say this is one of the best and was the only best-of to sell well in the US as it hit the US Top 40 hitting #31 and going Gold in two months of release, eventually Double Platinum.
            The remastering on this 2000 Capitol remaster was superbly handled by James Guthrie and Doug Sax.
            If you want to get a good Floyd compliation but don't want to pay $30 for Echoes, get this collection.

            4 out of 5 stars Worth the money.......2005-11-07

            This album contains many classic songs, all from the most popular albums; "Dark Side of The Moon", "The Wall", "Meddle", "Wish You Where Here", and "Animals". While all of these songs are excellent, they are out of context. All of these albums flow seamlessly together, and fit perfectly. They do a good job of fitting the songs together on "Dance Songs", they don't have the feel of the original album.
            I give these albums 4 stars because it is a compilation album, and takes the songs out of context. Even so, the songs themselves make it a great album.

            4 out of 5 stars I can't hate the Floyd.......2005-10-23

            The idea of breaking up concept albums, or any Pink Floyd album at all to give out a sparse, six song mix is confusing and at first you are angered at the idea, but put it in and the mix works somehow, and reminds you that no matter what order you listen to their songs, these (...)are worth every penny.

            5 out of 5 stars The only Pink Floyd album you'll ever need..........2005-09-26

            this is a fantastic hits album.... it has all the well-known and great songs on it....if you are a new floyd fan... get this album and it will be the only one you'll need.... money, wish you were here, and brick in the wall 2... what else you need?
