Modern recording careers are notoriously fragile things. Just when Ben Lee's acclaimed 1999 collection Breathing Tornados seemed ready to give his already precocious career (begun as the 14-year-old wunderkind frontman for Australia's Noise Addict) some serious traction, his label folded. Undeterred, Lee took the life's lessons learned, built his previous album's experimental production touches into something more rhythmically foundational (courtesy of producer Dan the Automator) and reemerged with the dozen solid tracks here. There's an upbeat, guitar-centered pop consciousness to the cautionary "Running with Scissors," but it's a deceptive one that Lee's variously spins into funk-groove ("Dirty Mind") and electro-baroque ("On and On," "Music 4 the Young and Foolish") while following a restless m! use. But it's also an album whose wafting melodic sense can just as easily drift into the dreamy, more typically folkie ruminations like "Shine" and "In the Morning." Lee's vocals have matured into a clear, unaffected tenor that often soars above the restless, edgy beats here; a wizened voice of experience that belies its not-so-tender 24 years. --Jerry McCulley

Product Description
Ben Lee first came to prominence fronting Noise Addict, a suburban Sydney based punk quartet modeled on Fugazi. The average age was 14 at the time & that time was near eons before Silverchair! Noise Addict won the support of their indie heroes, both Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) & Mike D (Beastie Boys) released the band on their labels. When the band all but came to a screaming halt in 1994 Ben Lee was catapulted into the spotlight with his charming satirical tribute to Evan Dando, 'I Wish I Was Him'. Re-emerging in '99 with his platinum selling album (in Australia) 'Breathing Tornados', Lee had well & truly etched his name into the face of indie pop. His 2002 opus, 'Hey You, Yes You' is an awesome example of this young man's musical genius. Produced by Dan The Automator (Gorillaz, Primal Scream). 16 tracks including an enhanced section which contains the video 'Chills', as well as 3 MP3 files,

John McGlinn's sprawling, monumental three-CD set is about all the Show Boat any listener could ever ask for. In an obvious labor of love, McGlinn reconstructs the show as it ran on opening night, November 15, 1927, including every song, the original orchestrations, and all underscored dialogue. The most significant restoration is the dark choral number "Mis'ry's Comin' Aroun'," as Show Boat's serious subject matter helped establish its place as the most important turning point in the history of American musical theater. McGlinn also adds an appendix that includes songs cut before opening night and every song subsequently written for the show's many productions, most notably the love duet "I Have the Room Above Her," written for the 1936 film. (The recording is also available in a one-disc reduction called the "Broadway Show Album.")

Rest assured this 221-minute blockbuster is not just dry scholarship; it's also terrific listening, with McGlinn conducting a dynamic London Sinfonietta and a strong cast including Frederica von Stade as Magnolia, Jerry Hadley as Ravenal, Teresa Stratas as the tragic Julie, Bruce Hubbard as the worldly wise Joe, Karla Burns as Queenie, and David Garrison and Paige O'Hara as the comic couple Frank and Ellie. And of course the songs by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II are among the most glorious ever written: "Ol' Man River," "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man," "Make Believe," "Why Do I Love You," "Bill," "You Are Love," and "Life upon the Wicked Stage." Also included are exhaustive production notes, a history of the show, a detailed synopsis, and a libretto. John McGlinn's Show Boat is a staggering achievement and a recording for the ages. --David Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars An American Treasure.......2007-03-03

When PBS showed the 1989 Paper Mill Playhouse production of Showboat, my five year old daughter fell in love with musical theater. To this day we never miss a production of Showboat, West Side Story, Music Man, Oklahoma or the rest of the great American musicals. These 3 discs are the closest you can ever hear to the original in 1927 and the recordings are leaps and bounds above any movie version or revival cast. Listening to Bill or Make Believe you almost want to cry at what Kern and Hammerstein were able to create.

I defy anyone to come up with another Broadway production that has three songs in a row better than Make Believe, Ol' Man River and Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man (West Side Story's Maria, America and Tonight are the best three in a row of a movie musical) and it's a shame that no movie version of Showboat can compare to this version. The first act is full of songs that are as good as any ever sung on a stage and I can't think of another production with a first act that compete against the big 3 plus Cotton Blossom, Where's The Mate For Me, Life On The Wicked Stage, Till Good Luck Comes My Way, Misry's Comin' Aroun', You are Love, Act One finale and Why Do I Love You?. You just don't want to have the music stop.

If you don't like opera you won't like this version. Sung the way Kern and Hammerstein wrote them, you can't help but feel the operatic nature of these songs. Tough noogies because Showboat is above all an opera disguised as a Broadway play and no sweetening should be allowed.

The four leads are all superb, Frederica von Stade as Nola especially. The booklet contains the complete libretto and allows a different way to appreciate the music.

If you buy just one version of Showboat you need this one. If you have other versions of Showboat you need this one. As a matter of fact, anyone with ears to hear needs this version. A true American treasure.

5 out of 5 stars DON'T DESPAIR. IT'S BEEN REISSUED!!!!!.......2006-11-16

One of the great recordings of musical theatre ever. Although it's no longer available on EMI Angel, it was reissued in October, 2006, as an EMI Classic's "Great Recordings of the Century." It's been "Digitially Remastered at Abbey Road Studios from the Original Masters" and "noise-shaped via the Prism SNS system for optimum sound quality." If ART remastering does for this recording what it has done for other EMI Classics in my library, then it should sound superb. However, I understand the booklet is not as detailed as the one in the original 3-disc release.

Thank you, EMI.

I would hope other labels would follow suit and remaster and reissue other examples of classic American musical theater. It would be a pity if our children, grandchildren, and future generations were unable to savor "110 in the Shade" or "Little Mary Sunshine" or . . . . . . . . . (fill in the blanks.)

5 out of 5 stars An American tragedy...........2006-02-06

This is the first of the great American musical plays, and probably remained unchallenged until the mid-1950s when West Side Story appeared. The term "musical comedy" does not apply. The few laugh lines are subsumed by the terrible sense of loss and disaster that work throughout the story. At its core is homelessness, the destruction wrought by racism, bad choices, human weakness, and reconciliation. The cast?--this was one of the few crossover recordings I've ever heard that actually worked. The trio of Jerry Hadley, Frederica von Stade, and Teresa Stratas is a marvel; Stratas in particular seems to have had a patented Dark Cloud that shadowed her. It's perfect for Julie Dozier Laverne. And the late Bruce Hubbard brings a magnificent dignity and voice to Joe--his singing of "Ol' Man River" amy not efface Paul Robeson, but can stand beside it.

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous!.......2005-08-26

Simply gorgeous! The most unforgetable music and the best voices! An album for all time!

5 out of 5 stars Ben gets funky!.......2006-02-21

Ben left his acoutic roots in his previous album Breathing Tornadoes and continues on his path in this album, Hey You, Yes You. As a devout Ben fan, the lyrics are still brilliant, and the music is enjoyable even if it is heavier than his early days. This album is not quite as heartbroken as his most recent album Awake is the New Sleep, so you won't be depressed listening to this one. Chills is as mellow as it gets on this album, but is done poetically and simply. Great Album!

1 out of 5 stars Not very good.......2004-07-16

I liked all of his past albums but this one isn't good. None of the songs are very clever, it's nothing captivating. In fact, I'd get more pleasure listening to just about ANYTHING but this. Spend your money elsewhere.

5 out of 5 stars Quality Pop Music.......2004-01-07

This is a great cd, not as good as some Noise Addict stuff, but for me, the two are on completely different levels. Hey You, Yes You is a pop album, plain and simple, with hints of rock and folk and indie. All the songs are great, but my favorites are Something Borrowed, Chills, and Room to Bleed...Something Borrowed Something Blue is a classic rockish pop song, Chills is a fantastic slow Holcombe Waller-esque ballad, and Room to Bleed is just a great song. I would reccomend this album to most anybody, even indie/punk jerk-off hipsters like myself... just take it for what it is. Quality, catchy music.

1 out of 5 stars Big Nose, Hairy Tooth Guy.......2004-01-01

Ben Lee is funny, you gotta give him that. Running With Scissors is a hilarious song, I laughed so hard when I first heard it. The sad thing is though, I don't think he's trying to be funny. So basically, he sux. The Big Nose Hairy Tooth Guy (inside joke, you wouldn't get it) is back and badder than ever. Literally. Hey is he still dating Claire Danes?

5 out of 5 stars a good album.......2003-12-25

ben lee's music has one unconditional constant - great lyrics, but it seems his sound is always evolving. In teaming up with a hip hop producer, i'm nether disapointed or impressed with the result, just content. HYYY has a regular home in my cd player, with highlights being the amazing 'No Room to Bleed' with a great piano riff, 'Dirty Mind' (which has nuthin to do with porn - but obviously more with politics and the definition of accepted values) and 'Something Borrowed, Something Blue.' Its not his best album, and if ur a Ben Lee newie, u may be betta off with 1998's 'Breathing Tornadoes, but it has its own sound (though possibly over produced).

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Golden Age Singing.......2001-02-21

In very good live-performance sound, this generous (74 minutes) selection of highlights boasts the finest Carmen cast and conductor I have ever heard in one production. Verrett's is the only performance not duplicated on a commercial set, and she is spectacular--as close to the perfect "Carmen voice" as any I have experienced. Te Kanawa's gorgeous sound is likewise unmatchable, even on her complete recording with the same conductor. Van Dam is perfection, and Domingo even better than one has come to expect. A word about the excerpts: they include all of the big "numbers," as well as enough ensemble work to allow one to fully appreciate the conducting of the great Sir Georg. Considering the modest cost, this disc is unbeatable.

5 out of 5 stars A GREAT PERFORMANCE.......1999-10-29

Verrett is the best Carmen imaginable, Domingo the best Don José, Kiri the best Micaela and Solti it's a grand conductor. The ideal Carmen.

            1 out of 5 stars horrible.......1999-05-23

            The beatles are bad enough on their own, they dont need an orchestra to make them worse.

            5 out of 5 stars The best ever symphonic collection of the Fab Four ever!.......1999-03-21

            The fact you are reading this probably means you are a fan of the Beatles. If you sometimes wish for a collection of orchestral Beatles songs but are unsure of some of the cheap numbers you have heard, well! This set is amazing, the music is rich and full of feeling, a best buy without a doubt. If it were possible I would give it six stars!

            5 out of 5 stars New Ben Lee Fan.......2004-01-09

            I never really knew Ben Lee's music till i heard him do a private accustic show. I was so impressed, I knew I had to have a copy of his latest cd and i LOVE IT!!!
            I keep this cd everywhere I go, work or home I have to listen to this cd. My favorite song is Dirty Mind.

            5 out of 5 stars One of my top 5 pop albums.......2003-05-21

            If you haven't heard Ben Lee before then you don't know what you are missing. Thank g-o-d for Kazaa or I'd never have heard this blazingly talented young man. I just got Hey You, Yes You in the mail from amazon.com (thankfully someone is importing this album) and I'm stunned. Ben Lee had talent before, but he continues to blow me away with the progression of his music. Breathing Tornadoes is my favorite album (also by Ben Lee) but Hey You, Yes You is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. Try amazon.com's quick listen feature, check out Running with Scissors or Chills and hear a master at work.

            Definately an album to own.

            5 out of 5 stars Un B.Lee vable.......2003-01-13

            Wow, this boy just turns out pop classic after another. If you thought Breathing Tornadoes was incredible, which is was, you'll love Hey you, Yes you. It demonstates a richer, shapely side of Ben's musical demeanour and it oozes creativity. This album is extremely interesting without getting too deep with mushy or technical content. He goes from all out excitement with such hits as Running with Scissors, Run and the anthemic Music 4 the Young and Foolish to the captivating sounds of Chills, No Room To Bleed and In the Morning. Truly a masterpiece!!!
