| | Mr Holland's Opus Mr. Holland's Opus Soundtrack CD (2 Customer Reviews)
Michael Kamen's arrangement of "An American Symphony (Mr. Holland's Opus)" won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement.
If you can listen to Shawn Stockman sing "Visions of a Sunset" without at least one chill jutting up your spine, without thinking about a lost love or a found one, or without just marveling at the vocal instrument the man possesses...well, perhaps you should write a book about what it's like to live without a soul. Is Stockman's wondrous ballad, written immediately after he viewed the film, worth the price of admission? Just about. It's one of only two current songs on the disc (Julian Lennon's "Cole's Song" is the other), but if you like soundtracks, this one has some solid radio-ready gems. Among them are Stevie Wonder's raucous, two-chord celebration of just plain feeling good (and, some have argued, the greatest Motown single of all time), "Uptight (Everything's Alright)"; John Lennon's timeless anthem "Imagine"; and Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman," which will probably sound just as good in 2996 as it does now.
Includes liner notes by Stephen R. Herek.

Here's a real grab bag of Top 40 hits from 1960 to 1966, some of them indeed very hard to find on CD or even hear on the radio. Some of them are not really not that hard to find on CD, though this disc (like every one in this series) takes pains to present original 45 RPM single versions, often in stereo. It leans toward the innocuous pop side of pop/rock, ...

You don't have to be a collector of obscure 78 rpm platters to enjoy this remarkable gold mine of all-but-forgotten jazz and hot novelty recordings. Whereas anyone who has actually handled the original artifacts will swoon with delight as the mother lode of 27 precious musical relics gradually reveals itself in all its glory. The Grey Gull company was born in Boston back in December 1919, the brainchild of one Theodore Shaw. By 1921 Grey Gull was actively leasing phonograph masters from other firms. Which makes this a rather surprising survey for the serious collector, as only one of these selections originally came out bearing the Grey Gull label. Grey Gull, it seems, was primarily an all-purpose record pressing operation, which had a hand in manufacturing and distributing lateral records bearing quite a number of small-time labels. While Emerson seems to have been a main source of material, labels represented on this disc include Nadsco, Amco, Globe, Madison, Van Dyke, Phonycord, Goodson, Piccadilly, Supreme, Up-To-Date and that fabulous budget line with the futuristic name of Radiex By now, any seasoned record hound is gasping with anticipation. Everyone else should go ahead and get a hold of this disc simply to have ready access to a lot of really entertaining -- and incidentally very uncommon -- music ...
