Yes, it's true that 90% of the time Broadway fans will want the original Broadway cast recording over any other version, and 95% of the time the full recording will beat any set of "highlights." But this collection of songs from the Rent movie may defy both trends. Rentheads surely have the two-disc Broadway version already, and this well-selected 65 minutes may satisfy their desire to have performances from the movie as well (and the movie has less music than the show anyway). On the other end of the spectrum, people who enjoyed the movie but don't feel the compulsion to own every note of what they heard might well be pleased with a single disc of highlights. Pick it up and live La Vie Boheme all over again. --David Horiuchi
Album Description
One of the longest-running shows in the history of Broadway, and one of its most beloved, Rent was the winner of the Pulizer Price for Drama and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Puccini's classic opera "La Boheme," Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic in New York's gritty East Village. Now the powerful musical marks its tenth year on stage by coming to the big screen, acompanied by RENT Highlights From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Amazing CD.......2007-02-17
This is the perfect CD for those who love the music from the film, or even the Broadway show. I just bought this CD because I am new to "RENT". I first saw the movie 2 weeks ago and I am completely hooked!! I am also addicted to this CD, I listen to it atleast once a day (if not more)!! This is perfect for any "RENT" fans out there!!

We're Not Gonna Pay Rent!.......2006-06-11
I loved Rent, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money for the full version of the soundtrack. Highlights from Rent was PERFECT! It has all the main songs from the movie I was looking for, and that was important to me. I play this soundtrack constantly, from beginning to end, singing along the whole way. Every song on her deserves to be on here - it's amazing.
Amazing CD!.......2006-04-19
I got Rent the CD for my birthday, and I looked and I thought it did not have my favorite song on there:No Day But Today well I was exploring the Rent website, and I found out that it was NOT called No Day But Today, it was called Finale B I was so happy and I listen to it over and over and over and over again without me getting sick of it! Great CD totally recommended ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Best Songs On The CD Are:
*********Finale B*************(The Best)
Seasons Of Love
Light My Candle
Tango:Maureen
Out Tonight
One Song Glory
La Vie Boheme
Good Compialition.......2006-03-29
This is truly a highlights cd, with the only dissapointment, to me, being that the song "Another Day," is not included. But the rest of my favorites Without You, Rent, Tango Maureen, and, of course, La Vie Boheme, make this a great cd for any Broadway lover.
Was very very impressed with special features.......2006-03-24
An original "Rent Head", I saw this movie at the cinemas and was less than impressed with the finished product. I found that on watching the DVD I have since completely changed my opinion. The CD is fantabubulous - I love IT!. It is all the wonderful music from the movie and if I gush anymore it will come across as very very ridiculous! Just buy it - its great!
It is an absolute must for anybody who fell in love with the musical!

Take This To Heart!!.......2005-05-26
Quarterflash's second LP, Take Another Picture did not receive as much recognition as their debut album. Only charting at # 33 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts, the album still sold reasonably well...only missing the gold status by a few thousand. The second album featured the moody, yet seductive rock flow single "Take Me To Heart" which reached a respectful #14 on the pop charts and landed in the top 10 album rock charts. The single managed to land in the year end top 100. The second single from the LP "Take Another Picture" only managed to score #58 on the pop charts. The cut "Make It Shine" was featured in the 1984 Geffen release "Gremlins". As far as the rest of the album is concerned, Take Another Picture continues where the debut left off offering more moody horn breaks and great guitar riffs. Jack Charles and Rick DiGiallonardo left the band after the release of this LP due to disagreements. The albums' singles were an MTV staple for a while and can still be seen on classic VH-1. As far as I am concerned, the album exudes professional musicianship.
Quarterflash's best album.......2003-08-06
This is Quarterflash's strongest CD. Although it doesn't have the smash hits of the first album, overall it is a better album.
This album is 40 minutes long and has 10 tracks. 7 of those are very good. And of the three bad tracks, only one is horrible. The problem with Quarterflash's first album is that the bad tracks are so bad, it takes away from the enjoyment of the good stuff. On this CD, it possible to sit through bad tracks without suffering.
Quarterflash is one of the many female-fronted bands from 80's that played New Wave music with some pop and disco thrown in. The female vocalists in these bands sounded a lot alike, with a stinted, baby-like style. Quarterflash's music had a little more depth than the other bands, especially with the addition of Rindy Ross's saxophone. However, Quarterflash's songs weren't always as good as the best stuff of these other bands (like Berlin's Sex).
Like most New Wave bands, Quarterflash did not last very long. They only released 3 CD's before disbanding in 1985. The group did carry on with a different line-up and released a 4th album in 1990. This is Quarterflash's second CD.
Please, take another picture. And another. And another,..........2001-09-19
I started listening to popular music way too late in life and Quarterflash's Take Another Picture was one of the first albums I owned. I collected tapes then and when this went out of print in the early 1990's, I was pulling out my hair. Fortunately, I found this and Back Into Blue on CD years later, and I was in Seventh Heaven. I mean, I still had the tape, but I had played it so much,
"Make It Shine", which was also on the now out-of-print Gremlins soundtrack, was what introduced me to them, and I hoped they had an album of their own out. They sure did, with that song included to boot. Like "Shakin' The Jinx", this mid-paced but rhythmic song is for dreamers and idealists, where "an ounce of conviction is the only admission". Excerpts: "Too many dreamers are fading, shine on, shine on..." and "Live--there's a life to live, give--there's a gift to give. Yes--there's a reason to make it/Shine on and make it true". Given that idealists make up less than 10% of our population, they are indeed a dying breed, and I'm dying to meet one.
The upbeat title track, an epitome of fresh 1980's pop, opens with followed by Rindy Ross's wailing sax before she starts singing. Along with the synthesizer, the bass is really noticeable in the chorus. The bridge consists a piano solo punctuated by guitar chords before breaking into a guitar and guitar synth solo.
Joe Walsh makes a welcome contribution as additional vocalist and slide guitarist on "It Don't Move Me", along with fellow Eagles man Timothy B. Schmit.
"Eye To Eye" is an introspective Styx-like piano ballad of the same vein as "Critical Times" from their first album. This is one of three songs sung by Jack Charles. He also does the album's closer, the equally melodic "It All Becomes Clear" as well as the album rocker "One More Round To Go".
Both ballads are about searching, for identity, soul, and the bigger picture, and trying to make sense of it all. From "Eye To Eye", there's "Yes it has to make me wonder/I'm so alone and yet so free/Ah, it's funny how things seem to slip away" And in the more softer "It All Becomes Clear", which uses a painting as an analogy at the close, there's "Standing close to the work you've been painting/Shades and lines diffuse when so near/Standing back does it all fall together/From far away, will it all become clear/From far away, it all becomes clear". In other words, it's all about perspective.
Some of the songs have a jaded sense of despair to them, such as the single "Take Me To Heart", "Shane" and "Nowhere Left To Hide".
"Shakin' The Jinx" is a song for all those dreamers and individualists out there who disdainfully break away from the soul-less uni-dimensional herd, or who dream of doing so. Oh, so this must also be for me, then.
The song "It Don't Move Me" smacks of apathy and being jaded at the newest fad or sensation. That chorus is classic: "You say that it feels right/You say that it fits tight/You say that it moves light/But it don't move me/You say that it's in time/You say that it feels fine/You say that it moves/But it don't move me". And yes, Rindy does the sax yet again. Oh yeah! I like to compare this to Shania Twain's "Okay, so you're Brad Pitt/Well that don't impress me much"
I've never been to a Quarterflash concert but "One More Round To Go" sounds like something they would play to close the show with a bang, or maybe the penultimate number. This song is raucous, dirty, rowdy, and has the atmosphere of a bar on Friday or Saturday night. This would be Quarterflash's closest foray into hard rock.
Beginning guitar players take note: At the end of each lyric, is the guitar tuning sequence. Now isn't that generous? I have over 1,300 CDs and I have never seen any other album that contains that information.
Quarterflash had a unique sound and that soprano sax by lead singer Rindy Ross really contributed to that. Whenever I hear a saxophone on a song, I always remember one of two artists: Clarence Clemons and Rindy Ross. And it's hard for me to compare Ross's voice to any other artist.
And what about that album cover? Methinks I detect a tribute, reference, or parody of Sgt Peppers.
Like the Bangles and 'til tuesday, Quarterflash only made three albums, but unlike Susanna Hoffs and Aimee Mann, Rindy Ross faded completely from the music scene. To date, there has been no "Where are they now?" or Behind the Music special on them, which puts her group in a special spotlight. Make no mistake--Quarterflash shines on forever!
Snore, snore.......1999-06-11
"Harden My Heart," from this band's first album, was a huge hit single in late 1981. It is standard MOR fare, heard today on shopping mall sound systems across America.
What is astonishing is that this band managed to, albeit briefly, make a career out of recording this same song over and over. "Take me To Heart," and "Right Kind of Love," (the later being from the first album) for example, are almost paint by numbers duplicates. The public bought it for a while but then wised up, and this snooze of a band has not been heard from since.

Astrud Gilberto, Mama Cass, Julie London, and many others recorded Margo Guryan's great songs back in the day. When Guryan released her own wonderful album, Take a Picture, in 1968, it didn't receive a lot of attention, but this once-lost treasure provides timeless pop pleasure. Its tracks possess a musical sophistication that's akin to the best work of the Free Design and the Beach Boys. Guryan's striking vocal melodies are complemented by excellent arrangements that often pair the rough edges of a rock rhythm section with the smooth sounds of strings, horns, or a flute. Jazz and classical influences and restrained experimentation also come into play here. "Sun" is a delight that's both lighter than air and full of sonic detail. On "Don't Go Away," an engaging two-minute slice of proto prog-rock, electric violin dances over inventive, jagged rhythms. The easygoing title track sounds like a dreamy show tune fleshed out with splashes of harpsichord, touches of flute, and effective strings. Take a Picture is a '60s orchestral pop classic. --Fred Cisterna
Customer Reviews:
A record for the summer , it floats by and soothes you .......2005-09-29
This is music made by a songwriter who was not afraid to try some different things and the songs are interesting for the ears . The album will take you places and the varied shades of the songs will take root in your brain .
Margo sings gently and welcomes you in .
A record that you will play repeatedly .
A talentless Britney of her day?.......2005-02-04
I was pretty disappointed by this album. I'm a big fan of The Free Design and of pop psychedelia/sunshine music and so ordered this album somewhat blindly out of Amazon recommendation: but I though this album was really not in that league at all. Guryan has a very weak sing-song little-girl voice and the material is mere pre-rock pop more like Leslie Gore on valium. The arrangements are also unstriking and soporific. I'd have to say stay away.
Good album comparable to some others from its time period.......2005-02-03
I purchased this CD after being linked to it from Billy Nicholls' "Would you Believe?". After thoroughly enjoying Nicholls' awesome album I figured this one would warrant a listen. I'm glad I went ahead and bought "Take a Picture"... it's definetly a decent soft-pop album very reminiscent of others from it's period.
The whole album reverberates with a kind of "coffee house" type atmosphere; you never get the feeling there was any large production involved with any of the tracks, (and the vocals here and there bring to my mind sitting in a beatnick hangout drinking latte's and talking about fighting personal oppression...). The music can really groove in places, pushing the melodrama of Margo's singing into a different realm for the listener. You end up bobbing your head to songs about loss and love accentuated with bass and guitars, which is not something that happens alot in popular music.
Lyrically and musically the record sounds very similar to Wendy and Bonnies "Genesis" moreso then Nicholls' "Would you Believe?"...mainly because of the female vocals and "lyrical mattering" lyrics. In contrast, however, Wendy and Bonnies album shows just how innocent they were with the lyrics... where Guryan talks about being "left before".
All of the songs have a message of love of some kind in them... which is both a good thing and a bad thing, really. Good because it can be fairly cohesive, bad when you look for deeper meanings in the lyrics and find that several songs are similar with their message. It is primarily for that reason I gave this CD 4 stars and not 5; if she had ventured out with her lyrics and written and sung about things other then love then who knows how great this CD could've been.
If you liked this I'd recommend checking out Wendy and Bonnies "Genesis", Billy Nicholls' "Would you Believe?" and pretty much anything by the Free Design.
Una auténtica perla pop: pura belleza sin pretensiones.......2004-06-30
Take a picture es uno de esos discos, como el "Would you believe?" de Billy Nicholls, que ha llegado a ser valorado con el tiempo por la crítica como una verdadera obra maestra y a convertirse en auténtico objeto de coleccionismo. Una artista oscura en su momento, Margo Guryan es considerada en la actualidad como una respetada compositora y una de las máximas representantes, junto con Jackie DeShannon, Marianne Faithful y Claudine Longet, de esa efímera incursión del pop de finales de los 60 por los vericuetos de la sofisticación más etérea o, como lo llaman los japoneses (quienes lo han convertido en algo así como su pasatiempo nacional) el "cute pop". Como he leído de alguna de esas pedantes luminarias de la historia del rock "This album may be too good to be true, but it's also everything we could wish for". Ahí queda eso.
It's a sunshine day..........2002-01-05
Fans of Claudine Longet will not want to miss this one. Margo Guryan was generally better known as a songwriter (for Claudine Longet, Bobbie Gentry and many more), and we can be grateful that, like fellow 1960's songwriter, Ellie Greenwich, she also chose to record some of her own material.
Take A Picture is the sound of a breezy sunny day filtered nthrough your speakers. You'll be instantly drawn in by the cool country-lite rock of "Sunday Morning". "Sun" is a radiant pop burst complete with strings, odd time signatures and abrupt time changes. I could go on describing tracks but what's the point, they are all lovely and dreamy and if you like this sort of sound you will be in heaven. This is a gentle, delicate world full of pop delights and it is very fitting the tasteful Spanish label Siesta have chosen to release it (the Free Design CDs they put out are essential).
A must for all pop fans.

VERY GOOD ROCK........2000-07-16
Filters latest single "Take A Picture" is the pinnacle of pop rock. With good vocals, lyrics, music and hooks.
This song never bores.
Great song.......2000-07-04
This is a great song.The lead singer's voice finds its way perfectly through a beautiful haze of guitars,percussion,and synthesizer.
Awesome.......2000-06-24

i think this is the coolest song ever and i love it heaps
Best record of 2000.......2000-05-13
I'd never heard a tune from Filter until I heard this. I was hooked from the first listen. Irresistible hook and simple, yet thought-provoking lyrics -- a man's transition from life to the next world.
Buy it -- it'll stay with you for a long time.

i feel like a newborn.......2004-08-17
Be advised: This release of Take A Picture is nothing like the album version my friends let me listen to. These remixes are all electronica-driven.
With that said, my favorite version's the Hybrid Mix (8:08). Their unconventional style shines in this mix. The way they develop it, introducing the breakbeat basslines, slapping down the verses and chorus: It all falls into place. What I think people might be put off by is hearing strings in the mix. Hybrid sometimes uses real instruments in their productions, and it can have a strange effect on the music. Even for me, it took several listens to get used to. But I'm glad I persisted because I ended up enjoying it immensely. Props to Filter as well, for some good vocals and lyrics.
GREAT SINGLE.......2002-07-28
This single is so great. Not only are the mixes outstanding and long, (not to mention very dark), but it also includes two music videos. The "Hybrid Mix" is a harder trance mix. The "Rennie Pilgrim Thursday Club Mix" is a smooth trance mix which will put you into euphoria. The Club 69 mixes are so dark. Perfect mixes for the perfect song!!
IF YOU WANNA TAKE THIS SINGLE AND PUT IT IN THE TRASH?.......2000-07-19
I had so much trouble getting this single because it was lost in the mail and I couldn't wait to hear it but than when I got it it sounded horrible. The first track is kind of good its just a faster version of the original beat. Tracks 2 - 5 have a good beat but were is all the singing, you have to wait like 3 mins into the instrumental part until they start singing, but these tracks would probably be good to dance to in a club. the last track number 6, is horrible it is 2 mins and 9 secs long and their is NO singing at the end of the track they just sing "cause you wanna take my picture" and the the track is over! I would not recomend this CD unless if your a really big filter fan.
Hmmmm..........2000-07-18
I was kinda (okay, really) disapointed with the remixes on this single. None of them are bad but they are all in a genre I don't particularly like (apparently Trance). I really despise the Club 69 mixes, again they aren't bad but they are really dark and weird sounding which doesn't appeal to me. The second and third remixes, there are parts that I like, that sound sort of shimmery and ethereal, but other parts (generally with strange buzzer-type noises) that I can't stand enough to avoid listening to either of these mixes. The only mix that I like is the H&H mix, that, while it doesn't stray too far from the original, and unfortunately isn't of an extended length, has a more dancable beat behind it than the album version, that I like. Basically, if you like the version you hear on the radio you'll probably like this version.
Another minor gripe is that while the CD *is* enhanced, and contains both high and low quality versions of two Filter videos (if you have an old computer you'll definately appreciate the inclusion of the lower quality versions), they are NOT in a kiosk format, meaning, you don't get a cool interface screen with custom graphics and buttons to navigate the disk. The video files are just stuck on the disc and you have have to manually open each one with a media player application. Not a huge deal but I was expecting a more professional presentation.
To sum things up, if you like Trance or whatever, then by all means buy this single, I'm sure you'll be satisfied like these other reviewers are. I'm basically writing this review to say that, just because everyone is writing glowing reviews of the remixes, that doesn't guarentee *you* will be motivated to do likewise.
Reprise Records fire up the dancefloor -again!.......2000-02-23
Ok, the track listing: 1 H&H Mix/ 2 Hybrid Mix/ 3 Rennie Pilgrem Thursday Club Mix/ 4 Club 69 Trance Mix/ 5 Club 69 Trance Dub/ 6 Club 69 A Tranceapella. Now, who is the A&R Man at Reprise? Somebody tell me please. The man is a true Hero and my inspiration. Here we have another example of real A&R -taking a track and using it in every which way to access a larger audience and, as a spin off, making the track more interesting. Ok it may hurt the rock fans who cherish the original version but it pays to work every sector of the music community -I'd never heard of Filter before but now, thanks to these fabulous mixes, I've ordered their CD. If you've heard these already in a club somewhere, you'll know what I mean when I say these mixes are BLINDING! The most exciting mix, for me, is the Club 69 Trance Mix. I haven't been too switched on by recent 69 offerings but this is one of Rauhofer's best -major dancefloor damage with brilliant Perfecto-like keyboards and those legendary chunky beats riding under the restructured and dreamy vocals! I can't get enough. The Hybrid Mix is pretty fabulous too with a moody, futuristic feel and BT-like beats & sounds. The Rennie Pilgrem Club Mix is an underground dub excursion with backward/ mashed up vocals, electro-like beats, ringing percussion and wah-wah keyboard slides. The H&H Mix is an alternative rock interpretation by Producer Ben Grosse. The song is great -even in it's original form- and shines bright over the dancebeats. I love the screamed line "Dad, what do you think about your son now! " Dreamy, delicious and totally worth checking out. What are you waiting for!

OHMYGODTHISISGOOD.......2001-08-11
Damn, girl, how come we never heard of you before??? This is a truly great album, and her label and management should be ashamed that they didn't make her an international superstar. But it's never too late. Margo, if you're reading this, the world needs you now more than ever...please come back!!! Anyway, BUY this NOW. You will not be sorry.
Great "Lost" Album.......2000-11-23
I know it's a cliche, but this is a real "lost" treasure, a 1968 album of a fine singer-songwriter that deserves wider recognition. Unfortunately one has to decide between the US and Japanese versions of this CD. The US version features the entire LP (first 11 tracks on the CD) plus 3 bonus tracks, all of which are worth having. The Japanese version features the entire LP plus 4 different bonus tracks, all of which are also worth having. My personal preference is the Japanese version (the bonus track, "I Don't Intend to Spend Christmas Without You", covered by Claudine Longet, is a favorite), but you can't go wrong with either version, and if price is a consideration the US version sets you back only half as much. The US version is packaged in a digipak, the Japanese CD in a standard jewel case. Both come with fine, informative booklets. If only they could have put all the bonus tracks together on one CD....
