Originally released on Decca (79175) in May 1970. All songs written by members of The Who except "Fortune Teller" (Naomi Neville), "Young Man Blues" (Mose Allison), "Summertime Blues" (Eddie Cochran/Jerry Capehart) and "Shakin' All Over" (Johnny Kidd). Recorded live on February 4, 1970. Includes liner notes by Chris Charlesworth. This 2-CD Deluxe Edition of LIVE AT LEEDS, recorded on February 14, 1970, contains the entire show including all of TOMMY which was previously unreleased. Recorded live at Leeds University, Leeds, England on February 14, 1970. Originally released on Decca (79175) in May 1970. In addition to making some of the finest studio albums in rock history (ranging in approach from proto-pop-punk to the first rock operas), the Who, live, epitomized the brash, electrifying energy that put a new face on the music in the 1960s. The original LIVE AT LEEDS album, released in 1970, looked straight into the eye of this hurricane on a single disc featuring six tracks. A 1995 reissue doubled the number of songs. The DELUXE EDITION, however, released in 2001, is the first document to feature the Leeds concert in its entirety. Spread out over two discs, this most recent update is definitive, and includes a 28-page booklet, sections of band-audience banter, and--most importantly--a full performance of TOMMY. The sound, enhanced here in a new mix supervised by guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend, is crystalline, without losing any of the group's swirling chaos and bone-crushing sonic impact. Though the Who later began to abridge TOMMY live, disc two features the entire opera, while the first disc houses "Substitute," "My Generation," and a blood-pumping cover of "Summertime Blues," among other singles. For any Who fan, this edition is essential. Digitally remastered by Jon Astley.

Man in Black: 1959-1962 buy CD music UNCHAINED won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "Rusty Cage" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. Johnny Cash follows up his solo-acoustic comeback, AMERICAN RECORDINGS, with another astounding slice of Americana. This time around he rocks out a bit, with the able assistance of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, while maintaining the raw, stripped-to-the-bone production (by American Records label head Rick Rubin) that made the last one so vibrant. The Heartbreakers provide the perfect accompaniment, with a rootsy sound that's sprightly but never overwhelming, leaving plenty of room for Cash's cavernous baritone to jump off the album and into your soul. Cash has always displayed a sharp ear for material, but he's rarely been as daring and unconventional in that sense as he is here. In addition to writing three strong originals for UNCHAINED, Cash takes on songs by postmodern folk-rocker Beck (the startling album opener "Rowboat") and the grunge-rock band Soundgarden (whose "Rusty Cage" sounds scarily made to order for Cash). He also does a Dean Martin hit, "Memories Are Made of This," and Petty's "Southern Accents," along with old country standards from the catalogs of Jimmie Rodgers, the Louvin Brothers and others. It's quite a selection, and Cash lays his claim on every song so completely that you may never be able to hear the originals the same way again. Johnny Cash is a rare breed. The purity and power of his voice cut through to the essential, primal truth of any song he sings. Out of print in the U.S.! Two years on from his triumphant comeback album, American Recordings, 1996's Unchained took the blueprint of it's predecessor and added Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers to the mix along with Marty Stuart, Lindsay Buckingham, Flea and many others. The results were just as fantastic, adding a different dimension and fullness to the overall sound, but maintaining the mood and atmosphere that made American Recordings such a treasure. Songs written by Petty, Chris Cornell and Beck rub shoulders with a handful of Johnny originals. Warner.

Man in Black: 1959-1962 songs This criminally underrated 1980 album came during what's mistakenly regarded as a fallow period in Cash's recording career. The idea was to make a record that would bring Cash back to his rockabilly roots. That's not exactly what happened--there's hardly any real rockabilly on this album--but the results are impressive nonetheless. The hard-hitting, stripped-down sound does recall the lean, mean Cash of days long past, and the material rivals anything from his '70s or late-'70s catalog. Things open with a kick on "Cold, Lonesome Morning," an unflinchingly realistic account of a failing romance, full of the hard-bitten fatalism that made songs like "Folsom Prison" so successful. A winning take on Nick Lowe's gem "Without Love" features the Attractions' Pete Thomas on drums, and fits perfectly into the sonic scheme. Quirky, memorable tunes by Kris Kristofferson and Billy Joe Shaver crop up as well, performed with characteristic precision and aplomb. 1st Time On CD;1980 Recorded at Quadrafonic Studio, JMI Recording Studio, Nashville, Tennessee and U.K. Pro Studio, London, England.

Man in Black: 1959-1962 CD music COME ALONG AND RIDE THIS TRAIN contains tracks from several of Johnny Cash's theme LPs, including BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS, BITTER TEARS, BALLADS OF THE TRUE WEST, FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA, AMERICA, THE RAMBLER and RIDE THIS TRAIN. Includes original release liner notes by Johnny Cash, Tex Ritter, Merle Travis, and Charles Wolfe, as well as reissue liner notes by Bob Allen. During the 1960s and 1970s, Johnny Cash recorded a number of albums organized around a specific theme in American culture and history. The songs on these albums generally straddle the genres of country and folk music, employing both the direct simplicity of country and the focus on "big issues" characteristic of 1960s folk music. Musically these albums employ a similar blend of folk and country influences. COME ALONG AND RIDE THIS TRAIN collects eight of these albums in a four-disc box set, complete with a handsomely bound, thoroughly researched 32-page booklet. Among the albums are BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS, Cash's tribute to the working class; MEAN AS HELL and SONGS OF THE OLD WEST, both collections of cowboy songs; AMERICA, which attempts to recapitulate all of American history in 40 minutes; and BITTER TEARS, about the injustices suffered by American Indians. Nearly all these records are strung together by Cash's narrations, which, while pretty corny, effectively showcase the singer's acting talents. Although these albums contain relatively few hits, they are by no means lesser efforts: Cash clearly cared for these projects, and his commitment comes through in every note he sings. Johnny Cash was one of the first to explore the idea of the concept album in country music. This set brings together all of his uniquely American albums, "Ride This Train", "Blood Sweat & Tears", "Mean As Hell", "Ballads Of The True West", "Bitter Tears", "America: A 200 Year Salute", "From Sea To Shining Sea" and "The Rambler". Bob Allen writes, "This collection eloquently embodies one man's love, celebration, curiosity, anguish, and personal vision of his native land." 4CD, LP size box set with a 20 page book. Personnel includes: Johnny Cash (vocals, guitar); Anita Carter, Lorne Greene, the Statler Brothers. Producers: Don Law, Frank Jones, Larry Butler, Charlie Bragg, Jack Routh. Reissue producer: Richard Weize.

Man in Black: 1959-1962 songs The completist's friend, Bear Family Records, has released a number of Johnny Cash box sets, covering each phase of his career in painstaking detail. But for hardcore Cash fans, this one, which documents his earliest records (including everything he did for Sun Records) is the motherlode. Over the course of five discs, you get both Cash classics ("Hey Porter," "Folsom Prison Blues," etc.) and wonderful obscurities (the randy "Straight A's In Love," the Heartbreak Hotel cousin "Home of the Blues.") Cash developed a unique sound on his early Sun recordings with the Tennessee Two. His unusually deep, resolutely undecorous voice rides atop the boom-chik guitar style invented by Cash's right-hand man Luther Perkins and a rockabilly-ish slap bass. Cash provided the percussion by placing a sheet of paper under his strings and strumming purely for rhythm's sake. Naturally, this stark approach changes somewhat as we move chronologically through this set, but Cash's vision remains undiminished. For collectors, the previously unreleased cuts and outtakes (not to mention the exhaustively annotated booklet) will be a welcome bonus. 5 CDs in an LP sized box. Five CDs in an LP size box set with a 36 page book.
