1	All Things Must Pass [30th Anniversary Edition] (2001) more music like this by George Harrison All Things Must Pass has long been one of the more vexing classic albums to make it to CD. It appeared previously in two distinctly different (yet confusingly similar) packagings in the late '80s, one from England and one from America, both of which were straight reissues of the original triple LP. Neither was a wholly satisfactory release, owing ... see all copies from $19.95! new only from $19.99!
2	Concert for George (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack On November 29, 2002, a year after his death, a tribute concert for George Harrison was held at Royal Albert Hall. Friends and family gathered to play his songs, and it was an impressive, if predictable, roster: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Tom Petty, and Eric Clapton, who also served as musical director, took center stage, but ... see all copies from $21.44! new only from $21.44!
3	World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!
4	Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book (1959) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald During the late '50s, Ella Fitzgerald continued her Song Book records with Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book, releasing a series of albums featuring 59 songs written by George and Ira Gershwin. Those songs, plus alternate takes, were combined on a four-disc box set, Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book, in 1998. These performances ... see all copies from $90.65! new only from $90.65!
5	The Good Book/Gather Me (2007) more music like this by Melanie Melanie's back catalog has long been something of a mess on CD, with a number of key albums either out of print or never available in the digital format, but this, the third and last in a series of two-fer reissues from the U.K.'s Edsel Records, helps to rectify this by featuring two of her key albums in one set. 1971's The Good Book is dominated ... see all copies from $8.83! new only from $8.83!
6	A Love Like Ours (1999) more music like this by Barbra Streisand Barbra Streisand makes sure there's no doubt to what love she's referring to in the title of A Love Like Ours. On both the front and back covers, and throughout the liner notes, she's seen with her new husband, James Brolin. As a matter of fact, the album is no less than a celebration of her love of Brolin and their storybook wedding. To some, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.85!
7	Here's to Life (1991) more music like this by Shirley Horn Shirley Horn's meeting with a string section and an orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel has some exquisite moments although sometimes it is just overly sweet. Horn recorded with her trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) first, emphasizing slow ballads. Mandel used the pianist-vocalist's improvisations and chord ... see all copies from $2.20! new only from $11.52!
8	Live in Japan (1992) more music like this by George Harrison/Eric Clapton & Band George Harrison returned to the stage for the first time in years in 1991; that Japanese tour is documented on the fine double-disc set Live in Japan. Backed by a stellar supporting band led by Eric Clapton, Harrison turns in surprisingly strong versions of his best solo material; it easily surpasses Paul McCartney's double-disc Tripping the Live ... see all copies from $26.82! new only from $26.82!
9	Nothing Without You (1992) more music like this by Mel Tormé and Cleo Laine see all copies from $2.83! new only from $9.92!
10	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $12.68! new only from $24.40!
11 view cover	The Complete Gershwin Songbooks (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Complete Gershwin Songbooks collects three discs also released separately: 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous and 'S Paradise. The first two discs include the greatest vocalists Verve had to offer, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Anita O'Day, Shirley Horn, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Bing Crosby, Joe Williams, Fred ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $31.69!
12 view cover	The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992 (2004) more music like this by George Harrison George Harrison's albums for Dark Horse drifted out of print in the late '90s as his contract with Warner Brothers expired. Over the half-decade, they fetched high prices on the collector's market, as any relatively rare Beatles-related item does, and the demand for these records -- along with the Traveling Wilburys albums, which were part of ... see all copies from $113.75! new only from $113.75!
13 view cover	Nocturnes & Serenades (2006) more music like this by Scott Hamilton The black-and-white cover photo of a neon-lit street harks back to an earlier era on Scott Hamilton's Nocturnes & Serenades. Depending on the viewer, it may conjure up images of the jazz clubs lining the street in 1940s New York, or perhaps classic film noir. Either way, the photo and title promise the kind of lazy, romantic jazz that pours from ... see all copies from $15.41! new only from $15.41!
14 view cover	The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection (1994) more music like this by Johnny Mathis The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection is exactly that, a four-disc box set of recordings hand-picked by Johnny Mathis, with an accompanying booklet filled with biographical information and his recollections about each song. The 86 selections are arranged in chronological order from Mathis' first recording, "When Sunny Gets Blue" from ... see all copies from $8.57! new only from $12.94!
15 view cover	Dreamsville (2001) more music like this by Stacey Kent Vocalist Stacey Kent may or may not be "the greatest ballad singer in half a century," as her PR claims, but her straightforward renditions of these by-request ballads are not at all generic. What makes them consistently delightful is her unique sound and delivery. There's a certain brassiness, a trumpet-like pointedness, in her voice, as well as ... see all copies from $11.32! new only from $14.56!
16 view cover	Evolution: The Hits (2003) more music like this by Dead or Alive Evolution: The Hits is a good summary of Dead or Alive's most popular material, concentrating on their chart hits. And there were more of those than you might remember -- eight are included that made the U.K. listings, along with four that made the U.S. charts (all of which charted in the U.K., too), including "You Spin Me Around (Like a Record)," ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	Zoot Sims and the Gershwin Brothers (1975) more music like this by Zoot Sims Along with his album with Count Basie (Basie and Zoot) during the same period, this is one of Sims' most exciting recordings of his career. Greatly assisted by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Grady Tate, he explores ten songs written by George and Ira Gershwin. Somehow the magic was definitely present ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $9.95!
18 view cover	All Things Must Pass (1970) more music like this by George Harrison Without a doubt, Harrison's first solo recording, originally issued as a triple album, is his best. Drawing on his backlog of unused compositions from the late Beatles era, Harrison crafted material that managed the rare feat of conveying spiritual mysticism without sacrificing his gifts for melody and grand, sweeping arrangements. Enhanced by ... see all copies from $12.95!
19 view cover	Live at Birdland (2003) more music like this by John Pizzarelli This is a wonderful, warm-hearted, and effortlessly virtuosic live recording by one of the finest living exponents of pre-bop small-ensemble jazz. With pianist Ray Kennedy and bassist Martin Pizzarelli (and on two songs joined by vocalist Grover Kemble), singer and guitarist John Pizzarelli runs through a generally lightweight but thoroughly ... see all copies from $13.24! new only from $14.75!
20 view cover	Early 21st Century Blues (2005) more music like this by Cowboy Junkies It's been over 15 years since the Cowboy Junkies dropped their sparse masterpiece The Trinity Session. Recorded with very little gear in the span of one evening, it introduced the group's signature "sepia-drone" delivery to the world, a style that's never really undergone any surgery. Early 21st Century Blues attempts to build a bridge between ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
21 view cover	Long Journey Home (2006) more music like this by Cowboy Junkies The Cowboy Junkies have long understood that their music was served best on record when it was least adorned by the recording process -- their commercial and critical breakthrough, 1988's The Trinity Session, was recorded live to digital tape using a single microphone during a single evening -- so it's not surprising that they've made a handful of ... see all copies from $16.20! new only from $16.20!
22 view cover	Emergency Ward!/It Is Finished/Black Gold (2002) more music like this by Nina Simone Gathering three of the four live albums Nina Simone released during her time at RCA, the double-disc package Emergency Ward!/It Is Finished/Black Gold certainly reissues a spate of consistent material. Recorded in 1969 (Black Gold), 1972 (Emergency Ward!), and 1974 (It Is Finished), the set brings back several of her rarest and least-heard LPs. ... see all copies from $19.68! new only from $19.68!
23 view cover	On Fire [Bonus Tracks] (1997) more music like this by Galaxie 500 Having already made a fine account of themselves on Today, the three members of Galaxie 500 got even better with On Fire, recording another lovely classic of late '80s rock. As with all the band's work, Kramer once again handles the production, the perfect person to bring out Galaxie 500's particular approach. The combination of his continued use ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
24 view cover	Great Songs of George Gershwin (1998) more music like this by Various Artists George Gershwin wrote so many standards during his shortened life that his music has been recorded by a vast variety of singers. This 1998 reissue CD has 18 different vocalists interpreting Gershwin tunes, recorded during a 30-year period and programmed loosely in chronological order. The swing era is represented by the first seven records, which ... see all copies from $5.42! new only from $5.42!
25 view cover	The Michael Feinstein Anthology (2002) more music like this by Michael Feinstein With selections drawn from three releases dating back to 1987 and up to his 1996 Gershwin collection, this anthology demonstrates not so much that Feinstein is a great singer, but that he is a kind of Barry Manilow for people with long memories. The appeal of the two artists is almost identical -- their arrangements lush and melodramatic, their ... see all copies from $33.62! new only from $33.62!
