Who's Next [Bonus Tracks]

Who's Next [Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this

by The Who

Much of Who's Next derives from Lifehouse, an ambitious sci-fi rock opera Pete Townshend abandoned after suffering a nervous breakdown, caused in part from working on the sequel to Tommy. There's no discernable theme behind these songs, yet this album is stronger than Tommy, falling just behind Who Sell Out as the finest record the Who ever cut. ...

Odds & Sods

Odds & Sods (1974) more music like this

by The Who

Odds & Sods, a compilation of outtakes and rarities from the Who's first decade, is a rather jumpy listen that harbors few songs that could be termed top of the line. Also, since its 1974 release, several of the tracks have been issued on other compilations, or as bonus tracks to CD reissues of legitimate Who albums. Setting your expectations at ...

The Last Waltz [Rhino Box Set]

The Last Waltz [Rhino Box Set] (2002) more music like this

by The Band

"The road was our school. It gave us a sense of survival; it taught us everything we know and out of respect, we don't want to drive it into the ground...or maybe it's just superstition but the road has taken a lot of the great ones. It's a goddam impossible way of life" - Robbie Robertson, from the movie The Last Waltz, quoted in the box set. ...

Motown Greatest Hits

Motown Greatest Hits (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

A three-disc set released by Universal International, Motown Greatest Hits is a wonderful collection that combines the obvious Motown hits with material a little less at the center of the label's patented 1960's sound. Rick James' "Superfreak" and Billy Preston's "With You I'm Born Again" are just two of the titles mixed in here that give this ...

Down the Road Apiece: Their EMI Recordings 1963-1966

Down the Road Apiece: Their EMI Recordings 1963-1966 (2007) more music like this

by Manfred Mann

It's hard to call a band with one of the biggest songs in oldies radio underappreciated, but it's hard to dispute that Manfred Mann are a band ignored. Alone among all major (and not so major) British Invasion bands, they have never experienced a revival, perhaps because their influence was not lasting. Few bands covered them and although the ...

Live Wire! The Singles 1962-1972

Live Wire! The Singles 1962-1972 (1993) more music like this

by Martha & the Vandellas

This two-CD box set includes all of the top singles and many of the flip sides that Martha Reeves & the Vandellas cut for Motown. All the hits are here, of course; the collector will be especially interested in the B-sides and non-hit singles, many of which employed the songwriting talents of Motown regulars like Holland-Dozier-Holland and Mickey ...

Trojan Reggae Duets Box Set

Trojan Reggae Duets Box Set (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

This installment in the Trojan budget-priced box set reissue project is one of the better ones to have come down the pike in a while. These three CDs boast 50 historic tracks, including the best example ever, and the mother of all Jamaican duet sides Stranger Cole and Patsy Todd's awesome "When You Call My Name" is a thriving example, on wax, ...

Jukebox Hits of the '60s [Collectalbes]

Jukebox Hits of the '60s [Collectalbes] (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Collectables' Jukebox Hits of the '60s is an attractive package for consumers who want the biggest hits of the era. All 77 songs spread out over these five discs are recognizable. Unlike other similar sets, these songs are not re-recordings; these are the original hit versions. More than likely the casual listener will only need one track from ...

Fourever

Fourever (2001) more music like this

by The Four Tops

The last of the major Motown groups to receive proper box-set treatment, the Four Tops in a sense got the best of the bunch, since this tells a ripping history while providing a cornucopia of rarities. The latter part of that statement is what prevents the set from being a true must-have for those who just want a comprehensive history, because ...

The Marvin Gaye Collection (1990) more music like this

by Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye has more than enough great music to make a superb box set, but the haphazard Marvin Gaye Collection isn't it. The four discs within the set are arranged thematically: one terrific disc of hits, one good disc of duets, one largely uninteresting disc of rarities, and one wildly uneven disc of ballads. By spreading out the material this ...

Bus Stop (1966) more music like this

by The Hollies

Standard British Invasion fare, with the Hollies' Top Ten American hit leading off an album split evenly between pop and American R&B cover songs. As far as the R&B goes, there were English groups that did it much better, like the Stones, Animals, Yardbirds, and Small Faces. "We're Through" has an arrangement borrowed from the Johnny Rivers hit ...

BBC Sessions: 1965-1968 (2000) more music like this

by The Small Faces

A solid compilation of 1965-68 BBC performances. It's heavier on their early mod years than their later psychedelic ones, which are essentially only represented by three songs from a 1968 broadcast (of which only one, "Lazy Sunday," is an original). Still, this has energetic (and, by the standards of BBC archive tapes from the 1960s, good-sounding ...

Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1967) more music like this

by Marvin Gaye

Other than the Anthology line, this was for quite a while the best single album set featuring Gaye's early and mid-'60s hits. There isn't a dud in the bunch, but both the Super Hits and Anthology line give you more cuts, while the boxed set has more variety. But this isn't by any stretch a bad release. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You (1965) more music like this

by Marvin Gaye

Another great album; Gaye was at this time Motown's finest solo vocalist (Smokey Robinson, Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, and Levi Stubbs were all heading groups). His vocal on the title track was both smooth and churning, celebratory and introspective. He could do no wrong during this period, regardless of content, tempo, or arrangement. Ron ...

Doing My Own Thing: Hard to Find Hitpicks 1971-75 (2000) more music like this

by Delroy Wilson

Jamaica's diminutive Delroy Wilson was as soulful a singer as the island ever produced, and like Marvin Gaye, whose phrasing and timing Wilson much admired, he made almost everything he recorded sound casually sincere. Arguably his most striking tracks were done in the late 1960s at Studio One, but there's nothing wrong with this set, either, most ...

The Definitive Love Collection [K-Tel UK] (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

K-Tel UK's triple-disc Definitive Love Collection is every bit as amorous as one would imagine. Lip-locking radio staples like "Love Is All Around" (Troggs), "When a Man Loves a Woman" (Percy Sledge), and "Happy Together" (Turtles) are applied liberally among more obscure sentimental favorites such as "I (Who Have Nothing)" by Ben E. King. However ...

Ultimate Collection [Sanctuary] (2003) more music like this

by The Small Faces

Superlatives are attached to compilations with an alarming frequency, but Sanctuary's Ultimate Collection comes quite close to deserving the adjective in the title. While most Small Faces wrap-ups ignore either of the band's major phases (their early amphetamine-fueled R&B on Deram and their later acid-soaked British psychedelia for Immediate) or ...

The Mod Years: 1965-1969 (1999) more music like this

by Brian Auger & The Trinity & Julie Driscoll

The twenty-one tracks on this compilation of odds and ends from the '60s don't show up on Auger's regular 1960s albums (both with and without Julie Driscoll). As the title infers, Auger's early recordings were in a more straight-ahead R&B-rock vein than the jazzier and experimental ones he branched into on his albums, although you can certainly ...

The Ultimate Collection (1998) more music like this

by Martha & the Vandellas

This volume of Motown's Ultimate Collection series was especially welcome, as there was no box set on Martha & the Vandellas for serious fans to go to (there was Live Wire!, a now-deleted two-CD compilation of single A- and B-sides, but that's not quite the same thing). This disc put the group's 25 most important tracks, all of the pop and R&B ...
