5 out of 5 stars APOLLO 100.......2007-02-16

I originally purchased the LP version of this record way back when. With the coming of CD's I wanted to upgrade this record to cd but could not find it anywhere. With the help of some computer literate people we found it on Amazon.com. I am thrlled to add this to my collection. I will definitely use Amazon.com when looking to upgrade future records. The CD has every song on the LP with the addition of several more which I have been looking for. A real treat to find them all in the same place. As this was a Christmas present from James to me, his father Al, I must say it has been a pleasure dealing with you.

5 out of 5 stars Been looking for this for years!.......2006-05-21

I have been searching for this music for years. Was so thrilled when I finally found it, and since getting the CD, have listened to it over and over. I love it! This is for anyone who loves instrumental music. It's both a lot of fun to listen to as well as sentimental. I may even need to get a second copy!

5 out of 5 stars High energy & good karma.......2006-04-25

I remember buying the original Apollo 100 album in the early 70s, thinking that 'Joy' was worth having the album by itself.

It turned out the entire album was incredibly well crafted and all the instrumentals were breathtaking. So, I'm very glad to be able to get the original tracks and more from Amazon.

I have to admit that watching 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' had something to do with my looking for this item. It was well placed in the movie and is such a great source of inspiration.

Get it before it becomes obscure and OOP...

5 out of 5 stars anything instrumental.......2006-03-26

it is fantastic!! when i saw it was an import, i was a bit apprehinsive, but then when i got it i was relieved to see it was manufactured in germany, because in my opinion the germans are the best engineers in the world, after liveing there for 2 years. i did have a bit of a problem ordering it & the other one i ordered at the same time "rock instrumental classics" {volume 3 the seventies}. i noticed one came from californis , & the other from illinois.. the problem was in changing my payment method, as i have 3 accounts, & my credit card is a debit card, & there was not sufficient funds there to cover the transaction. & i made several attempts to change from the previous order, & for some reason i was unable to, & as a result i was charged a $34 overdraft charge, & i thought " JOY BEST OF APPOLLO 100"
WAS A BIT EXPENSIVE AT $25.. THANKS GAREY D. HAYES P.S. THE CARD YOU USED IS ALRIGHT NOW, & IT WILL BE THE ONE I WILL BE USING IN THE FUTURE GAREY

4 out of 5 stars A Blast from the Past.......2006-01-29

This is a charming set of music from a powerfully influential but not overly well known group from the early 1970s. There is real musicianship here by taking classics from the masters and putting them to a pop/rock format. I searched for and purchased this Apollo 100 CD because I heard a segment of their pop version of Ode to Joy (Beethoven)in the movie "The 40 Year Old Virgin". It's good music, has a bouncy happy feelings, has tracks that you don't mind blasting in your enclosed car, and transports you back to a time of musical experimentaion. And by the way, I wouldn't be surprised if Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) didn't get some of their ideas from this influential group. Go out and get this CD; you'll be glad you did.
