Average Rating: (2.5 out of 5 stars) 2.5 stars

1 star Disappointed
I was very disappointed. I think the quality of the recording is very bad. It was not the CD I had expected and heard before. I had heard a beautiful number at a meditation session and was told it was called Adagio for strings, but I cannot recognize it on the CD you sent me, unfortunately. Best regards, Cristell Bonnavill Denmark

This has the definitive version of Adagio for Strings conducted by Toscanini, in gorgeous scratchy mono. Several other fine pieces included, + good notes.

Anderson conducts 47 of his own compositions on this recording. The performances were originally released on Decca LPs. Collection is a generous, double-disc set that features 47 of Leroy Anderson's finest moments, including such milestones as "Blue Tango," "Sleigh Ride," and "Syncopated Clock." As a matter of fact, the compilation comes close to being definitive, since it effectively traces Anderson's musical development, and features his best (and best-known) tunes. The result is both an effective introduction and a fascinating retrospective of a gifted easy listening/classical-pop composer. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Anderson's best songs appear on this double disc set, including "Sleigh Ride," "Blue Tango," "Syncopated Clock," and "Forgotten Dreams." ~ Kenneth M.

Hard To Find 45'S On CD, Vol. 8: 70'S Pop Classics CD  (2002)

Barber: Adagio For Strings, School For Scandal, Etc
CD $13.49  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Numerous hit-oriented collections have focused on various styles of '70s music from disco to classic rock, but Hard to Find 45's on CD, Vol. 8 is devoted to that decade's commercial pop in the broadest sense. Where else could you find Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting," Pilot's "Magic," and Hurricane Smith's "Oh, Babe, What Would You Say?" on one disc? A few songs are genuinely rare on CD, such as Boney M.'s "Rivers of Babylon" and Prelude's a cappella rendition of "After the Gold Rush." The remastering is excellent as usual for this label, with every track presented in true stereo and in the original single version. Considering how disposable this music is supposed to be (according to the conventional wisdom), it holds up very well 30 years later. ~ Greg Adams Here are 20 really hard-to-find high charting hits. 17 of these songs made the Top 20, and all are digitally remastered in true stereo. Features Exile's "Kiss You All Over," Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting," Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.'s "You Don't Includes liner notes by Paul Grein. All tracks have been digitally remastered.

CD $7.59  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Containing an economical sampling of the music from Sony's TROUBADOUR box set (and a track list that is remarkably similar to DONOVAN'S GREATEST HITS), THE ESSENTIAL DONOVAN is highly recommended for the casual Donovan fan. His egregious tag as "the British Bob Dylan" and his sometimes-silly hippie vibe notwithstanding, Donovan wrote some of the catchiest singles of the late 1960s, and this disc brings these together in one succinct, chronologically sequenced package. The collection kicks off with the singer/songwriter's earliest recordings for the Hickory label with the folkie, guy-and-his-guitar charm of "Catch the Wind" and "Colors." When Donovan signed to Epic in 1966, however, he began the string of singles for which he is best known and that epitomized the strange yet breezy pop of the times. This includes "Sunshine Superman," "Mellow Yellow," "Epistle to Dippy," and "There Is a Mountain," each holding up as a delectable pop gem. The gentle "Jennifer Juniper" and the raucous "Barabajagal" (recorded with the Jeff Beck Group) keep the dynamics shifting, and round out this excellent singles set. Includes liner notes by Jaan Uhelszki. This is part of Sony's The Essential Collection series. Compilation producer: Bob Irwin, Al Quaglieri. Liner Note Author: Jaan Uhelszki. Recording information: 1965-1969. Photographer: Harry Goodwin. Personnel includes: Donovan; The Jeff Beck Group. Producers: Terry Kennedy, Peter Eden, Geoff Stephens, Mickie Most.
