Best Of The Gospel Years music CDs
$15.05 In 1975, Phil Spector assigned himself the task of producing Dion as a kick-off to his new contract with Warner Brothers. The sometimes stormy sessions yielded one of the most authentic representations of the Wall of Sound in the producer's entire oeuvre, Born to Be With You. Ironically, either out of personal insecurity or a dispute with Dion's management, Spector chose to never release it in the United States. Spector employed a huge army of musicians in his biggest production since George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, including many members of his old studio coterie, the Wrecking Crew. It resulted in a potent, if pungent, effort by Dion. Spector's massive productions provide a fine backdrop to Dion's powerful voice. The album has a hypnotic quality, awash with echo and reverb. The best tracks are the repetitive but catchy title track, "Born to Be With You"; "In and Out of the Shadows"; and an infectious rocker, "Good Lovin' Man." An additional highlight is the inclusion ...

Best Of The Gospel Years songs
$16.95 Dion's early-'70s albums have been quite overlooked, even in comparison to his similar late-'60s folk-rock records, and even by many Dion fans. This single-disc CD pairs 1970's Sit Down Old Friend with 1971's You're Not Alone, both records showing Dion continuing to mature as a singer/songwriter and blender of folk, rock, and blues stylings. ...

$7.59 After leaving the Clash, Mick Jones struck out with a surprising burst of creativity. Big Audio Dynamite's sound had punk energy, thumping hip-hop beats, and a cinematic feel, with samples from both spaghetti westerns and cult classics.
PLANET BAD... leans towards the band's early material from its first two groundbreaking albums, with cuts such as "Bottom Line," "Medicine Show," "C'mon Every Beatbox," and "Sightsee MC!" Representing its mid-period, there's the purist plea to "Just Play Music," and the celebration of Joe Normal ...
| | Virus Nine What Are You Afraid Of? CD (2002)
Best Of The Gospel Years songs
$10.35 With a forceful debut album that is equal parts piss and vinegar, punk rockers Virus Nine kick out the proverbial jams with an unabashed joie de vivre unheard of since Rancid's early efforts. From the opening riff to the last ringing chords, What Are You Afraid Of? rocks hard, Virus Nine successfully mixing the spirit of 1977 with a rough-hewn hardcore style, channeling the Clash, the Damned, Sham 69, and Black Flag into 15 perfectly formed two-minute musical gems. Songs like "Us and Them" or "'82" take a decidedly political bent, the members of Virus Nine no shrinking violets when expressing their blue-collar disdain for ...
