An excellent collection of songs........2006-02-01

Being that I was born in the mid-eighties, I did not have the priveledge of growing up listening to music of this sort. When I found this CD among my dad's collection I decided to give it a listen because I recognized some of the songs. I'm very glad I did!

I greatly enjoy almost all of the songs, in particular The Kinks "All Day and All of the Night" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens.

The rest of the songs are top-notch "oldies" as well, easily recognizable classics. The only song I don't really care for is "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" by Jan & Dean, though it is still an okay song.

Overall, I would certainly recommend this CD... when you find one both a father and a daughter can easily enjoy together, it must be good.

Shame on the KID who put this one together.......2002-11-18

This is one BAD example of the music of this decade. First, the 60s started on JAN.one but I guess that dosen't count!
If your looking to get a handle on where R+R (all) comes from this turkey an't it.

I know all of the songs!.......2002-01-23

I hate compilation CD's that are supposed to be the best of something but manage to be the best of whatever singles the producer had lying around in the backseat of his car. This CD, however, is what it claims to be. I've never seen a compilation album with so many hits and so many recognizeable tunes. All of these songs are fun to listen to and the few songs you may not recognize are catchy 60-ish sounding riffs anyway. This is, by far, the most versatile CD I own.

A gorgeous CD.......2000-06-23

Hello. It's a real nice collection most of all because it includes some artist i thought I never heard again. Some of them as The Kinks, The Vogues or Jan and Dean aren't easy to find in some other collections. The sound is excelent and the artists are well selected. Congratulations.

Jett-ilicious!.......2007-07-01

I LOVE this CD! Bonus material! Joan Jett..... and the ORIGINAL Blackhearts! My favorite BONUS tracks are the remakes of "Summertime Blues" and "Louie, Louie". Only Joan Jett can make an old song SING!

Classic.......2007-05-25

This is my second time buying this CD. The first time, someone from Black Heart Records told me to send my CD insert to thjeir office in NY to get signed by Joan Jett, Its been well over a year and I never got it back. So I had to buy the CD all over again, just to have the cover!

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts I Love Rock 'n' Roll.......2006-12-17

I just picked up this CD today at Wal-Mart in Grand Forks and I loved it. I don't think I've had any other CD in my CD player all afternoon. the songs I liked are "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", "Little Drummer Boy", "Nag", "Louie Louie", as well as others. I highly recommend this CD, especially if you're a fan of rock and roll music like me, even though one of my first loves for music was the Backstreet Boys (giggles). Anyway, I definetly recommend this!

Covers Girl.......2006-12-07

Joan Jett's second solo album, I Love Rock 'N Roll, provided her musical identity. The song "I Love Rock 'N Roll" had been recorded in 1976 by an English group called the Arrows as a b-side to one of their singles. Joan saw them play the song on a TV show while on tour with the Runaways, and wanted them to record it. Joan recorded an earlier version on the b-side of one of her solo singles, then re-recorded it in its best-known version, which hit number one on the charts. The black-and-white video was played endlessly on MTV, and the poster for the album was hung on the wall behind the MTV veejays. The album is a classic slice of hard rock bubblegum; Ritchie Cordell and Kenny Laguna mixed Gibson guitars with compressed Gary Glitter-style drums to produce Joan's catchy, hard-edged sound. The late addition of guitarist Ricky Byrd to the sessions gives most of the songs a playful urgency. Crunchy originals ("Love is Pain," "Victim of Circumstance") are blended with rowdy covers ("Nag"- The Halos, "Crimson and Clover"- Tommy James and the Shondells, "Bits and Pieces"- Dave Clark Five, "You're Too Possessive"- Runaways) in a nonstop romp of 80s hard rock that melts in your ears like sugar, sugar.

A "Digital Mastering" that's worse than the original .......2006-01-25

I grew up listening to these songs when they were new, and own well over fifty '50's-Rock CDs, so I know how these songs sound, and I almost always LIKE digitally remastered songs. (For example, see my review of "Elv1s 30 #1 Hits.") Thus I was quite surprised that something sounded off when I played this CD in a low-fi environment (at water aerobics, through Tivoli Songbook radios that have 2.5 inch speakers).

My guess is that the "Digital Mastering" consisted of eliminating some static by basically eliminating essentially all high pitched sound (probably all sound above about 10 mhz), and boosting the bass. Conceptually the idea sounds good. In practice, it doesn't work for me, because: gone is the zing of the higher guitar notes and vocals, and the most noticeable effect on the bass is higher distortion. This problem is particularly noticeable with "Chantilly Lace."

Perhaps on a bottom-of-the-line boombox (such as GPX or Craig) this "Mastering" actually would sound better than the originals.

For a far better '50s-Rock collection, one need go no further than the "Better Together" CD listed; that CD is: "The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 50's."

duplicate item.......2005-08-09

recieved & was charged for two of these (2 seperate shipments) - returned the duplicate. waiting for credit

Not a bad compilation CD........2004-07-26

One of the on line reviews I read stated that these tracks were not by the original artists, which made me debate whether or not to return the CD. I decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed it.
Except for one track I believe these are the original artists.
I have my doubts about Love Potion #9. But Summertime Blues and
Rumble make up for it. Also, I don't remember at all Bill Haley's recording of R O C K. Overall it's a good compilation. It's a keeper.

Terrific Little CD.......2004-06-02

This is an excellent compilation of 50s hits. The lineup is solid, but the remastering isn't notable and more songs could have been included. Nevertheless, in the glut of compliations where the tracks aren't the original hit recordings, this is a terrific little CD.

I love rock & roll; hits of the '50s.......2003-11-06

This is, by far, the worst CD I have ever heard. I grew up in the '50s and know that these are not the original artists who are listed. Whoever is pretending to imitate them is not even close. The musicianship and recording qualities are horrible; if the songs had been done well by other musicians, it would not be quite such a disappointment!

There's no better example of American pop culture's hall-of-mirrors ethos than producer Alan Carr's relentlessly buoyant 1978 film adaptation of the stage musical Grease. Inspired by that decade's rampant 50's nostalgia, it now paradoxically evokes the campy 70's excesses that spawned it. That sense of recycled decades in collision is underscored repeatedly on this deluxe, double-disc Grease-fest, especially on the set's second disc of bonus materials that spans vintage singles of the title track (its instrumental B-side) and "Greased Lightnin'," some sing-along karaoke tracks, and a handful of alternately slick/techo-savvy remixes (originally produced for the film's 20th anniversary) that are testament to its enduring, era-defying appeal. The original soundtrack itself has been treated to a stellar digital remastering that fills disc one, and remains a joyous monument to camp, sheer ambition, and exuberant nostalgic illusions. Includes a slip-cased, double-fold-out case and new booklet with complete song lyrics. --Jerry McCulley

You 're The One That I Want.......2007-04-03

The complete Grease experience. This cd is a two disc-set with disc one being the complete soundtrack, while disc two is all bonus material including the popular Grease Megamix. Fans of the movie would want to make this cd an essential part of their music collection.

Prepare to be transported to Summer Nights.......2006-03-26

Well here we are with a great piece of history.

This album has not only captured the spirit of the movie but the essence of a 1970's version of the 1950's. I have seen this play live and yes some things are different. Yet I grew up on the movie. I even find myself singing some of the songs now and then. Of course you will never see me singing "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." However I do keep this in my car as great driving music. This album is not you can pick apart and say things like missing songs, in the wrong order etc. It sounds and feels just right. There will be many versions yet this one is the Grease - Deluxe Edition [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SOUNDTRACK] gives you more information about each of the tracks allowing you to feel that you have inside information and to feel that you know more of what went into the making of each song.

Great Soundtrack & Fun Extras from an Enduring Musical........2004-07-06

I'm enjoying listening to this great soundtrack that I loved as a child after a long hiatus. I had it on 8-track 25 years ago. So it's fitting that I should get the 25th Anniversary Edition on CD. The 24 songs from the movie are just as everyone remembers them, so I'll talk about the Bonus Disc, which contains 10 alternative versions of the songs plus 2 previously unreleased instrumentals from the film.

Track 1 on the Bonus Disc is an instrumental version of the film's theme, "Grease", written and produced by Barry Gibb. Frankie Valli's voice has been replaced by a saxophone. The chorus is vocal, but the voices are not those in the original song. You could use this as a sing-along version, as it would be easy to sing over the sax. Tracks 2-5 are officially sing-along versions. "Summer Nights" includes the chorus vocals from the film and sounds good. "You're the One That I Want" has new chorus vocals of questionable merit. "Sandy" is a new arrangement. It's not as good as the film version, but you can sing along. Track 6 is the single version of "Greased Lightning" that you may have heard on the radio back in the day. It's differs from the original in that the bad words have been replaced for radio airplay. Tracks 7-8 are previously unreleased instrumentals from the film. "Greased Up and Ready to Go" is lively. Tracks 9-10 are mixes that I occasionally hear on the radio. The "Grease Megamix" and the "Grease Dream Mix" are fun, if awkward. Tracks 11-12 are Martian Remixes of "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want". They retain the original vocals, but set them to a Latin rhythm. They make pretty good dance tracks.

This 2-disc set isn't in a jewel case. The case is paperboard with 4 panels that fold out. This is inside of a clear vinyl slip case on which the tracks are written. This isn't convenient packaging. On the bright side, the case won't crack in the mail. Tucked inside one of the panels is a booklet that contains lyrics and credits.

The "Grease: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" is a terrifically fun soundtrack to one of the all-time great movie musicals. And for all those preteen girls who go wild over the movie with each new generation, the bonus material is perfect for parties and horsing around.

If You Love Grease, You'll Love This - Only 1 Major Flaw.......2004-05-15

Disc 1 is like the original album, which I also own. 1 major flaw is that "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" cuts off at the very end of it! I was upset by this, hence the 3 stars instead of 4. Disc 2 is a lot of fun w/some remixes and sing-a-longs, all in all, I'm pretty happy with it being that I'm a HUGE Grease fan. If you like Grease, you'll love this, it's fun. Too bad when they "remastered" it, they didn't catch there 1 mistake. Oh well, at least I have it on another album.

Full Metal Jacket CD.......2007-07-25

My husband wanted music that was popular while he was in Vietnam and asked me to order this. I have not listened to it, but he seems pleased.

BORING.......2006-02-15

I am yet to understand why this movie is compared to the likes of Platoon. There is no question which of the two is the better one. I was bored out of my mind after an hour. I turned it off and then when I had time to waste, I finished it. I am sorry I did. 2 Hours I will never get back. I know that evertone is different, but if you have not seen this movie and are thinking about viewing it, do so on a Sunday when you have NOTHING else to do. The only highlight was the Drill Instructor. He managed to crack a smile out me on occasion.

Only One Good Track.........2002-10-14

The first one... The rest of the CD is movie instrumentals that are excellent for falling asleep to, but that's about it.

Not for everyone.......2002-02-21

Abigail Mead, the composer of eight songs of this soundtrack, is actually Vivian Kubrick, daughter of Stanley Kubrick.
The disc has 15 tracks:

The first song is a hip-hop/techno mix of the cadences sung by Sgt Hartman in the first part of the movie, it is not a beautiful or good and I don't think it was necessary to include it.

The songs 2 to 7 are songs from the sixties and hear them during the movie creates a "mood" for the movie, for example, the song These Boots Are Made For Walking, by Nancy Sinatra and the scene in Vietnam which a prostitute is walking fits just perfectly and watch the movie without this song would have much less effect. Although they are not complex songs and most of the lyrics are foolish it's worth to have them in the score because they made a good part in the movie.

Song number 8 is the Marine's Hymn, a nice inclusion even thought it's not likely that someone would play this song very often at home.

The rest of the score are the instrumental themes composed by Abigail Mead, some of them are quiet and peaceful like Leonard, and others are more aggressive like Parris Island, with some nice stereo effects.

This is not the best score for a Stanley Kubrick movie and I suggest you to listen to it before you buy or you can have some bad surprises like not listening to Paint it Black, because it was not included or odd songs like Time Suspended. Actually I would suggest this soundtrack for Collectors, Kubrick fans or people with eclectic musical taste.

Boot Camp scenes are hauntingly realistic.......2000-08-04

The best part of this movie is the beginning, when they show what a raw recruit goes through at Boot Camp. It brings back a lot of memories because it was so well done. Lee Ermey just is exactly what a DI is at Paris Island. All the nuances, the lingo, the discipline. The acting is all first rate. Also, the combat portrayals in Hue City showed the type of frustration that vets faced in Vietnam. Snipers were nightmares to deal with. By the time you snuffed 'em out, you lost three or four men. The other movie that, in my opinion is the best war movie ever made, is Hamburger Hill. That movie showed what real grunt life was like in the bush.

This song is a reminder of my wife. The words fit her to a tee. Having met Ray Peterson in Albuquerque N M this past year was a wonderful expearence. He said a prayer for my wife who is getting over cancer. He signed a picture for her and he will remain in our hearts forever.

RAY PETERSON IS UNIQUE!!.......2004-03-30

RAY PETERSON MAKES ME REMINISCE ABOUT MY TEEN YEARS. I USED TO LISTEN TO HIM ON "WHERE THE ACTION IS" AND "SHINDIG." PETERSON HAS A UNIQUELY MELLOW VOICE AND YET HAS A TREMENDOUS VOCAL RANGE. I PARTICULARLY LIKE HIS RENDITION OF "THE WONDER OF YOU." I THINK IT IS FAR SUPERIOR TO "THE KING'S(ELVIS) RENDITION.

it can't be categorized to the classic rock.......2003-08-11

if u love the legendary powerful classic rock bands such as whitesnake, uriah heep, the Who, zeppelin, purple or sabbath, you won't say that Ray peterson will belong to the classic heavy rock bands. This is a sappy love song! need I say more?

12 + 2 Makes It Even Better.......2003-01-12

What fascinated me about Ray Peterson in the 1960s was that he had polio, taught himself to sing, and had a range of 3 and a half octaves. I owned the vinyl LP album of this name and probably wore out some of the cuts: not only Tell Laura I Love Her and The Wonder of You, but also Fever, Answer Me My Love, and Goodnight My Love.

The original album had Ray's RCA songs, before he moved to Dune. Now the CD includes not only the 12 RCA songs, but also the Dune hits Corrina Corrina and Missing You. A great replacement for what I had before.

The only thing missing are the other Dune songs, such as Sweet Little Kathy, I Could Have Loved You So Well, and You Thrill Me. This last one is actually good for a laugh. Hope to be able to acquire them on CD someday.

Does anyone remember?.......2002-12-16

Does anyone remember the hit (in Australia anyway) "You Thrill Me"? I remember this amazing voice range and I can't believe its not on this disc as it's the only listed of his.

Klassical KISS..........2004-06-25

KISS tribute albums started cropping up more than a decade ago very quickly oversaturating this market with a multitude of cds of varying quality (Hard To Believe, KISS of Death, Spacewalk). Now comes a tribute cd that offers a fresh and unique take on old KISS classics. Classical orchestration has long been a staple of KISS' repertoire, going back to the string ensemble used for the mega-hit Beth in 1976 progressing to the orchestral leanings and gregorian style chanting of the Elder album (1981) to the symphonic version of Black Diamond on their official KISS My A** tribute album to 2003's full blown KISS Symphony project.
This quartet interprets both well known KISS tunes (Detroit Rock City, Rock and Roll All Night) and more obscure material (Goin' Blind). Some of the choices are downright offbeat, a string quartet version of the funky Ace Frehley number New York Groove...surely you jest...but what is remarkable is how well it works.
Undisputed highlights are the beautiful renditions of Hard Luck Woman, Goin' Blind and Beth. The quartet incorporates subtle new parts that compliment these well loved melodies tremendously. Love Gun and I Was Made For Lovin' You are extremely powerful renditions also, if not just a little too reminiscent of the KISS Symphony cd and dvd. Even overplayed numbers like Calling Dr.Love and Rock and Roll All Nite are given new life by this incredibly talented ensemble.
From the Rock and Roll Over album influenced cover art to the last strains of New York Groove, this unique tribute cd is a winner all the way.

From a (classic) KISS and Classical music Fan!.......2004-04-23

EXCELLENT! I just bought this CD, and have already listened to it a half dozen times. I am a HUGE fan from the classic KISS years (1974-1979 - the years with Peter and Ace in the group).
If you are a KISS fan, and also like string quartet music, you will love this. If you are a fan of either (KISS or string quartet music), you will have a better appreciation and like for both after purchasing and hearing this CD.
These guys give the correct respect to classic KISS performance and it is especially seen in the string harmonies, and Ace's guitar solos in each song (except of course "Beth" which didn't have a solo by Ace until the "Unplugged" CD). The only down side of this are the songs that aren't on it, but hopefully that will mean a Volume 2!
