80's nostalgia all over again.......2006-08-21

i've encountered this album back in 1985. ebtg was introduced in the philippines as part of the new wave movement. cathchy tunes like when all's well, ballad of the times, shoot me down were the staple of this cd. if you love ebtg now you would have love them 20 years ago. back in high-school, a friend loaned me a vinyl copy of this and hey it took me a months to return it. fast forward to 2006: when i began buying online, i remembered this great recording and bought it for nostalgia's sake.

Beautiful, moving, perfect.......2006-07-12

I still remember seeing the video from this album back in the 1980s when it was released, and being mesmerized by the gorgeous vocals, lush guitar, and strong messages. The early music of EBTG is reminiscent of Style Council and even REM - very different from the electronica part of their collection. All are wonderful. This album has consistently excellent tracks, and all land on my iPod regularly - even decades later.

Love Not Money - Everything But The Girl at their best........2005-12-02

I like Everything But The Girl's early recordings the best. They have a pure, uncluttered sound. The lyrics are also their most poetic in my opinion.

Great Great Great.......2005-07-26

Listen to this CD on a hot summer afternoon while drinking tequila and chain smoking--it's an engulfing experience.

Sweet dreams are made of this.......2002-04-12

Have you really noticed the names of the rhythm session
musicians participating on this album: drummer / vocalist
June Miles Kingston (former member of MODETTES, FUN BOY THREE, guest vocalist on JIMMY SOMMERVILLE'S cover version
of FRANCOISE HARDY'S Comment Te Dire Adieu), bass player
Phil Moxham (ex-YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS & ex-GIST member, whose
single Love At First Sight is one of British Pop music's
unique moments).EBTG's music is so ethereal, full of positive
energy & seductive harmonies you needn't worry about missing
some camouflaged political or social message.I wish, I was
once again TABULA RASA, and those two were the ones to shape
with their magic chalk the colours of my heart.

Elaine Stritch is a legend and she knows it. And so she came up with a whole one-woman show about the best topic she could think of: her life in the theater. And what a trip it's been. From Ethel Merman to Noel Coward, Stritch has worked with some of the greatest names to grace the American stage, and she has anecdotes about all of them (most are included on this recording). In this show, she hits all the marks with the acuity of a seasoned pro who's seen it all and whose love for the theater remains undiluted. Stritch is not a traditionally pretty singer (those gravelly pipes!), but she absolutely knows how to give life to a song, extracting the last drop of meaning, dropping pauses for effect with deadly accuracy. Sondheim's "Ladies Who Lunch" and "Broadway Baby" will be hers forever, and a case could be made for the hilarious "Zip" (from Pal Joey) and the obscure, spectacularly politically incorrect "Civilization" (from the revue Angel in the Wings) as well. Fittingly, this two-CD set includes "I'm Still Here," which may well be Stritch's motto. If you're looking for a concise yet bewitching history of the musical, this is it. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

A National Treasure.......2007-07-05

This double CD is stuffed full of great songs and amazing stories. My favorite stories are of Elaine's date with Marlon Brando, what she thought some lyric are/meant, and her time in Compant. The total honesty that she brings it all together is touching and inspiring.

Very few people have the length or variety of a career that Elaine Stritch has had. I am sure that she has enough stories to do ten more shows.

If you love Broadway then you must buy this CD.

Stritch is superb.......2007-06-27

The only disappointment is that I missed the show live. This is a terrific honest performance by an actor who has a deep well of experience from which to draw. From her early childhood memories, through acting school, her loves, her struggles and more, Ms Stritch weaves a fascinating and completely enthralling story. Ultimately, she lives the songs, rather than just performs and this is what really marks her out.
I am so glad, she's still here!

Entertaining but grating on the ears.......2007-05-11

I've never been able to understand what is so great about Elaine Stritch's singing. It's simple: she can't sing. I've tried and tried to like her, and I do, as an actress, but NOT as a singer. Listening to these CDs, all I hear is a grouchy old lady voice with no vibrato, no range, and no ability to hold notes. If she were to try out for American Idol she would get cringes! I love her humor and honesty, and that's why I bought this, but the voice...ugh.

Great Broadway Review.......2007-04-11

I thoroughly enjoy this collection of stories from her experiences from a teenage girl in Michigan through her career, very funny, some sad and great entertainment.

Elaine Stritch at Liberty.......2007-01-19

Completely entertaining---a bit maudilin in places, but a must have for any Elaine Stritch fan.

Certainly worth the money!

Classy piano.......2004-05-11

This is piano music of the highest order - catchy tunes and flawless performance. I couldn't buy this CD from Amazon so I bought it directly from Shellwood.

Excellent tunes, excellent performance.......2003-10-10

Billy Mayerl, Lothar Perl and Carroll Gibbons are not exactly household names, and they probably never will be. Mayerl wrote over 500 tunes and was the director of the light music division of the BBC. Perl, among other accomplishments, was the music director of the Ernie Kovacs show and was occasionally on camera. Gibbons was an American pianist/composer/bandleader who achieved fame in England.

This music is melodic, varied and highly catchy. My favorite pieces are "Hollywood Stars," "Grasshopper Dance" and "A Garden in the Rain." Hassan's performances are, as always, top notch and right in character with the era. Incidentally, I bought my CD directly from the Shellwood Productions website.

The best interpretations of Mayerl yet.......2003-05-19

Billy Mayerl was an extraordinarily gifted and prolific composer in the "novelty/syncopated/rhythm" piano style. Alex Hassan plays this music with consumate grace. Thanks are due to Shellwood Productions for producing such a high quality CD; check their website for more offerings from Hassan.

Super syncopation.......2003-05-14

I don't know why this CD is only listed in the classical section: it should also be listed in the popular music section. The music of Billy Mayerl and Lothar Perl has never been played so well, not even by the composers themselves! Bravo, Mr. Hassan!
