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 ...

Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971

by
Various Artists
Instead of following Stax/Volt's pattern and delivering an exhaustive box set containing all of their singles, Motown decided to limit their singles box, Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971, to four discs that concentrated on the hits. There are a handful of wonderful lesser-known songs here, such as the Contours' "First I Look ...

Bomber [Bonus Tracks]

by
Motörhead
Recorded in late summer 1979 and released by the end of the year, Bomber quickly followed up Overkill, Motörhead's landmark breakthrough album from earlier in the year. Bomber bears a lot in common with its fan-favorite predecessor. For starters, it features the classic Motörhead lineup: Lemmy (bass and vocals), "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar), and ...

by
Motörhead
Recorded by the original Motörhead lineup of Lemmy, Lucas Fox, and Larry Wallis, On Parole is famous as the debut album that the band recorded in 1975 -- only to be shelved by a U.K. label that simply couldn't understand what all the noise was about. Produced by Fritz Fryer, a man whose past with Merseybeat-era heroes the Four Pennies should have ...

The BBC Sessions
(2000)
more music like this
by
The Who
A fine compilation of 1965-73 BBC performances, the majority of the tracks hailing from 1965-67, although some are drawn from 1970 and 1973. As one of the best live bands ever, the Who as expected come through pretty well in the live-in-the-studio environment, although the arrangements usually stick close to the records. Most of the songs were ...

This four-CD collection does include all of the Who's big hits and the lion's share of their key album tracks. Previously unreleased rarities include some interesting selections (the '60s outtakes "Early Morning Cold Taxi" and "Melancholia"), but these bits and pieces, which include some live versions, commercials, Keith Moon sketches, and the ...

Stone Deaf Forever!

by
Motörhead
The liner notes that Mick Wall wrote for Stone Deaf Forever are full of interesting anecdotes, but the most interesting of all has to do with a 1979 show that found Motörhead and the Damned appearing on the same bill. According to Lemmy Kilmister, a lot of bottles were thrown that night. Motörhead fans threw bottles at the Damned, and Damned fans ...

Motörhead
There have been dozens and dozens of Motörhead compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect. Released in 1984 as a gap-filler -- for Motörhead were regrouping in the wake of the bandmember shuffling that followed the odd Another Perfect Day album -- No Remorse compiled two-dozen songs ...

Home Alive: The Art of Self Defense

Various Artists
The brutal 1993 rape and murder of Gits lead-vocalist Mia Zapata served as a catalyst for expressions of grief and then concrete positive action on the Seattle music scene. Zapata's musician friends channeled their anger and anguish into the formation of Home Alive -- a non-profit collective promoting creative approaches to ending violence. Among ...

Fanning the Flames

more music like this
by
Tinsley Ellis
Fanning the Flames is an erratic but impressive set from Tinsley Ellis. While his basic sound is indebted to Stevie Ray Vaughan, the guitarist borrows from every other major blues artist. Furthermore, he has a tendency to overplay his licks, giving the album a feeling of unfocused fury. That sound can be overwhelming, though; his technique is ...

Motörhead
Undoubtedly one of rock's most anthologized bands bar none (even Kiss!), heavy metal legends Motörhead have their back catalog plundered and reconfigured yet again with this collection of singles (including B-sides) from their Bronze Records years. Yes, the sheer brilliance at hand is quite breathtaking, but with many of these once obscure B-sides ...

Live, Loud & Lewd

by
Motörhead
This cheaply priced compilation of 12 live Motorhead performances offers precious little in the way of documentation; these songs date mostly from the earlier portion of the band's career, but it's difficult to find anything more specific than a late '70s approximation for recording dates. The track listing is solid, covering a number of ...

Motown Records released these 16-track compilations from November 1963 until October 1969 (11 volumes); these trendsetters set the bar high for compilation albums. While every song here isn't a smash, they all have that patented Motown sound, which makes for a cohesive package. It originally came out in July 1964 (mono); dropped again in August ...

In a move to beat bootleggers to the punch, Pearl Jam decided to release each of their 2000 American concert performances in a series of inexpensive double-CD sets. The August 9th concert recorded in West Palm Beach, FL, gets off to an uneasy start with a plodding version of "Oceans" and some minor sound problems in "Grievance." At one point, lead ...

16 tracks strong, Heroes And Cowards rounds up the first year-or-so of Stiff Records operations, in the form of a supremely representative sampling of past single and EP tracks. Ever since the first press ads for Nick Lowe's "So It Goes" appeared in the UK music press during summer 1976, Stiff paraded a defiantly maverick approach to the business ...

Now we're cooking: disc one, featuring all A-sides, is sheer, glorious overkill (as soon as the so-so "Louie, Louie" opener finishes). Lemmy's ZZ topic obsession continues in "No Class" (see also "Beer Drinkers" and "Overnight Sensation"). Scalding signature scar "Ace of Spades" squats here, along with fine slices of Motörhead's vaunted live ...

A dozen B-sides, UK-only singles, and other oddities from the 1960s and early '70s.
