 (3 Customer Reviews)
This has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes.
War Live -- also sometimes known simply as Live -- was recorded just as the group was achieving a peak of popularity and virtuosity, and released 16 months later, amid a string of highly successful studio LPs. It was underappreciated at the time, and only on CD has it found its proper audience. Recorded at one late November show at the High Chaparral in Chicago, the group had been engaged earlier the same year in a national tour as the opening act for Isaac Hayes and was reportedly so good that Hayes kept cutting back the length of their opening set. The tapes from this show have held up extremely well across the decades, with rich fidelity and a close sound. The live renditions of "The Cisco Kid" and other such songs may not supplant the studio originals, but the 20-minute "Get Down" is worth hearing. ~ Bruce Eder

The 32-bit digitally remastered THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION offers up three CDs full of songs from famed R&B/soul singer Diana Ross and The Supremes. Included are treasured classics like "Baby Love" and "Stop in the Name of Love," plus contributions from The Temptations, The Four Tops, and Lionel Richie.
THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is as all-encompassing as a single disc can be in cataloging a three-decade career (so far) that could be filed under any of a dozen or so branches of pop and R&B. (For the complete story, see the four-disc set FOREVER DIANA: MUSICAL MEMOIR.) A sort of Motown blend of Elvis Presley and Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross started out as a singer of amazing torch songs with the most sensual of all girl groups, the Supremes, and eventually became bigger than her name. Since then, she has been as willing to sing the most sentimental of ballads as to take on a new dance beat. And Ross has handled every move with class; she rarely sounds like a pop star stooping to latch onto a trendy new sound, but rather like a seasoned balladeer reaching for a new melody.
THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION starts with five Supremes classics, and then moves on to a solo career that included such disparate hits as the gorgeous MOR ballad "Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To?)" and the sublime disco treat "Upside ...

| | Michael Ubaldini Mystery Train Sessions CD (2007)
War Live! album
$15.79
Michael Ubaldini is far from a household name -- so resurrecting recordings that he made over a decade ago might not sound like a particularly promising endeavor. Sure, Mystery Train Sessions was produced by ex-Stray Cat Lee Rocker and features appearances by him and his Stray Cat comrade Brian Setzer. This disc, however, holds far more interest than just to Stray Cat completists. It comes fully stocked with enjoyable, rough-hewn rock & roll. The first two tracks -- "Don't Say Goodbye" and "Scratch My Back" -- are rugged rockabilly numbers that don't feel like museum pieces. "Scratch My Back," in particularly, is enlivened by Ubaldini's nimble guitar playing. It's on the next two songs that he shows his promise of being something more than a rockabilly revivalist. Both "Mardi Gras" and "Jean Harlow" break out of the rockabilly shell and bloom into muscular roots rock. "Mardi Gras" serves up a raucous portrait of (pre-Katrina) New Orleans while "Jean Harlow" ranks with the Smithereens' "Behind the Wall of Sleep" as a terrific straightforward rocker that compares a dream girl to a movie actress. The raspy-voiced Ubaldini, in fact, sounds like an East Coast roots rocker, but in actuality he is a popular member of the same Orange Country, CA, roots music scene that also spawned Mike Ness and Social Distortion. The rest of disc alternates between more rockabilly moves and classic rock-inspired tunes. On "Rock 'n' Roll Hot Legs/Jack on the Rocks," Ubaldini trades some sharp guitar ...
