Classic Hits is a ten-track budget-priced collection that features some of Paul Anka's biggest '70s hits, including "(You're) Having My Baby," "One Man Woman/One Woman Man," "My Best Friend's Wife" and "My Way." Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc, there are better collections available, offering more songs and better sound for not much more money. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

| | Paul Anka Anka/Feelings CD (2002)
Classic Hits
$13.29
This discount-priced two-fer with bonus tracks chronicles Paul Anka's commercial comeback of 1974-1976, including his gold-selling 1974 album, Anka; its 1975 follow-up, Feelings; and the singles "Times of Your Life" and "Happier." The 32-year-old Anka had scored only one Top 40 hit in the previous decade when "(You're) Having My Baby" took off for number one in the summer of 1974. Remembered as a teen idol of the early '60s, he was actually an accomplished songwriter who assisted the careers of some members of the wave of early-'70s singer/songwriters, and he took from them a sense that songwriting could be more personal and address more adult concerns. "(You're) Having My Baby" was certainly a sincere statement of love from a happily married man with five daughters, but it was also a timely reflection on social mores a year after the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Its provocative nature assured a powerful response and brought Anka back to the attention of audiences, and he exploited that interest with subsequent Top 20 hits "One Man Woman/One Woman Man," "I Don't Like to Sleep Alone," "(I Believe) There's Nothing Stronger Than Our Love," and "Times of Your Life," all included here. Working with the Muscle Shoals rhythm section, he achieved funky arrangements with light grooves to support mature lyrics that spoke frankly (for the mid-'70s, that is) of physical love. His words didn't have the emotional complexity characteristic of the new singer/songwriters, being ...

Classic Hits
$23.69
This deluxe edition includes seven bonus tracks on the CD. The DVD includes a 5.1 audio version of the full album and video remixes for each track.
Beck's sixth major-label album is a stunning return to the anything-goes format of 1996's ODELAY. Standing in sharp contrast to its predecessor--the quiet, somber SEA CHANGE--2005's GUERO is the sound of the Los Angeles singer/songwriter cutting loose and getting back to the slacker funk that won him legions of fans in the 1990s.
"E-Pro" kicks off the festivities with a heavy guitar riff and a Beastie Boys-sampled beat, while "Que Onda Guero" revels in a sunny Latin vibe, with Beck rapping (surprisingly well) in Spanish. However, this outing also offers up MUTATIONS-worthy melodic pop, particularly on "Girl," a brilliantly catchy tune carried along by acoustic guitar, handclaps, and lush vocal harmonies. Beck's reunion with sound sculptors Mike Simpson and John King (the Dust Brothers) breathes plenty of life into these tracks, including the heavily percussive "Black Tambourine" and the '70s-inspired "Earthquake Weather." Jack White (of the famously bass-less White Stripes) lends a bluesy bass line to "Go It Alone," while many of Beck's longtime musicians (guitarist Smokey Hormel, bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen) turn up throughout the record. An album that features Beck energetically jumping back into his renowned cut-and-paste aesthetic, GUERO is sure to please longtime fans, and may win over young listeners who thought that he was primarily a sad-sack folkie.
In addition to a brilliant 5.1 surround sound mix of Guero by Grammy-award-winning mixer Elliot Scheiner, the bonus ...
