 (2 Customer Reviews)
Bread's fourth album, 1972's BABY I'M-A WANT YOU, is the band's commercial high point and one of its finest albums. Besides the title track, inescapable on AM radio that year and which has taken up permanent residence on the playlists of soft rock radio stations in the decades ever since, BABY I'M-A WANT YOU contains two other big chart hits, "Diary" and the oft-covered "Everything I Own," which may well be Bread's best single ever.
Besides those three David Gates-penned gems, the album includes nine other soft rock favorites, including James Griffin's atypically humorous "That Isn't What the Governmeant" and the unusually straightforward "I Don't Love You" alongside more standard Bread fare such as "Daughter" and the lovely, crystalline "Dream Lady." For the Bread neophyte, BABY I'M-A WANT YOU is probably the best starting point of their original studio albums .Rolling Stone (3/30/72, pp.50-52) - "...BABY I'M-A WANT YOU is a full-bodied album, exuding health and vigor even in the thicks of its most exaggerated sentimentality..."
Q (9/00, p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Impeccable soft rock with a peppering of heart-melting ballads. This...is th ewinnign formula in excelsis." Baby I'm-A Want You Music Baby I'm-A Want You Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   JUST LIKE YESTERDAY
Hey folks, I love this album for so many different reasons. You get some rockers , some ballads , and a religious -style song like "Just Like Yesterday". It's a very genuine album recorded in 1971 and issued in early '72. If you don't have it or ALL of the Bread albums , get'em. You WON'T be disappointed !! Tim , Little Rock , Ar.

 Fantastic
This is for all good rock'n'roller all over the world.This is a lesson how to make a honest rock album. Have many details how to make a good production.
The due-vocals David Gates-Jimmy Griffin is perfect, heva a keyboard solo on "Dream Lady" anthological, like the vocals on "Daughter" and "Down On My Knees", and the bigs hits "Baby I'm a-want You" and "Everything I Own" and the puerile beauty of "Diary" and "Just Like Yesterday". Just to remember like a jukebox on the corner.Just unforgettable and extraordinary

This collection is among the Scene anthologies taken from the vaults of the U.K.-based Decca Records. While most series of this ilk seem to pander to the average listener, the antithesis is true of these entries. In fact, the converse is actually the strong suit on Rock 'n' Roll Scene (1999). These 25 tracks sound arguably better than they ever have before, which is particularly noticeable on the more familiar cuts "Collette" by Billy Fury and Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group's "Rock Island Line." The song list has been astutely compiled, keeping in mind both the hardcore as well as the less-fanatical (and perhaps more typical) enthusiast. Of comparable interest, this era predates North American Beatlemania. Instead, the focus lies on a decidedly transitory period when rockabilly, teen idol, and skiffle ruled the airwaves and popular music charts. As Decca initially consisted of distinctly British acts, many of the featured acts may not be instantly recognizable. However, they have proven to be no less influential. Cases in point are Bob Cort Skiffle's stylistic reinvention of Chuck Berry's "School Day" and the equally impressive "Downbound Train" by Ken Colver's Skiffle Group. They take the tunes to places that the original never even hinted at. In the case of the former, the fluid electric guitar lines are more derivative of Chet Atkins or Les Paul than Berry's unmistakable amplified attack. Another cover comes from Screaming Lord Sutch, whose overhaul of Leiber & Stoller's "I'm a Hog for You" is strikingly similar to the interpretation that a pre-Grateful Dead combo -- calling themselves the Warlocks -- were regularly adding to their sets years after this 1963 version. There are also a couple of worthy "beat" precursors, including Freddie Starr & the Midnighters' "It's Shaking Time" or Eddie Hickey's "Plain Jane." Sally Kelly was somewhat of an anomaly as a female rocker in the predominantly male-oriented business. Although "Little Cutie" is one of the more lightweight offerings, the gutsy vocals during the chorus recall Stateside artists Joanie Sommers or Little Peggy March. ~ Lindsay Planer

| | Frank Zappa Trance-Fusion CD (2006)
Baby I'm-A Want You music CDs
$15.79
When Frank Zappa died in 1993, he had spent much of his remaining time and energy completing a number of projects before the end finally came. Why the majority of them are still unreleased as of late 2006 is anybody's guess, but perhaps the long awaited release of Trance-Fusion is a good sign. Trance-Fusion is another collection of guitar solos, forming something of a trilogy with the Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar set and Guitar. As FZ fans know, Frank had his favorite vehicles for soloing and careful listening to the albums as a group gives you a good idea which songs these are. "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar," "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar Some More," "The Return of the Son of Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar" (Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar), "Systems of Edges" (Guitar), and now "A Cold Dark Matter" are all excerpted from the solo section of "Inca Roads." "Variations on the Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progression," "That Ol' G Minor Thing Again," and now "Scratch & Sniff" are all lifted from "City of Tiny Lites." "The Torture Never Stops," "Easy Meat," "The Black Page" and a couple others have also contributed multiple tracks to this series. So why pick up Trance-Fusion if you've already got the others? Well, as the hardcore know, Frank was an endlessly creative soloist who often referred to his solos as "instant compositions." On three successive nights, Zappa could take the same two-chord vamp to three entirely different universes. In 1988 he incorporated some radical new tones and new playing techniques, so even the same vehicle/vamp can sound very different from tour to tour. The Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar set covered mostly 1979-1980, Guitar focused on 1984, and Trance-Fusion is more than half 1988 material, so each album really sounds different from the others, but there's a nice sense of progression. The vast majority of Trance-Fusion features the Wackerman/Thunes rhythm section, but Bozzio/O'Hearn and Colaiuta (presumably with Arthur Barrow on bass but there is no bass credit) each cover a track. Dweezil plays with Frank on "Chunga's Revenge" and "Bavarian Sunset," but, of course, the star of the show is the guitar playing of Frank Zappa. Check out the nice flanging on "Butter or Cannons," the wicked whammy bar work on "Scratch & Sniff," or the feedback on the title track. He sounds like no one else. Trance-Fusion took way too long to see the light of day (and with cover art more suited to a Kitaro album), but for the FZ faithful it was worth the wait. Keep your fingers crossed ...
