Tchaikovsky - Greatest Hits
 $6.99 
The Uncollected Rosemary Clooney, 1951-1952 reissues 14 sides of transcription material, all of it recorded in 1951 when she had just achieved her first measure of commercial success -- a contract with Columbia -- and, through the power of A&R supremo Mitch Miller, the Number One single "Come On-A My House." Backed by a faceless, merely serviceable studio orchestra, Clooney still excels on several of these sides, indulging her vocal jazz side on "You Make Me Feel So Young," "This Can't Be Love," and a tenderly playful "Too Much Conversation." The Swing Factory's Original Studio Radio Transcriptions improves upon this disc by remastering the sound and adding two tracks. ~ John Bush

| | Robert Plant Raising Sand CD (2007)
Tchaikovsky - Greatest Hits
$14.69   
Those who find the pairing of '70s rock god Robert Plant with contemporary bluegrass queen Alison Krauss unlikely have probably not been paying attention to Plant's latter-day work, which is full of intimate, acoustic-flavored balladry. While the organic-sounding, low-key Plant/Krauss collaboration, RAISING SAND, is a far cry from Led Zeppelin's stadium rock, it offers up some hauntingly moody textures that should appeal to "Battle of Evermore" admirers.
Consisting mostly of sagely chosen cover tunes, the album finds Plant and Krauss bringing their warm-but-eerie harmonies to everything from Townes Van Zandt's nihilistic folk poetry ("Nothin'") to the crumbled beauty of latter-day Tom Waits ("Trampled Rose"). Determined not to rest on their laurels or cater to expectations, the 59-year-old icon and his junior partner craft a subtle and intriguing sound built on their shared love of folk forms and gift for interpretation, bringing to light esoteric gems by late Byrds visionary Gene Clark and the Everly Brothers along the way as well.
| | Fantasticks CD (1960) Remastered
Tchaikovsky - Greatest Hits
$15.35
Recorded on June 13, 1960. Originally released on MGM (3872). Includes liner notes by Tom Jones & Peter FIlichia.
On June 13, 1960, MGM Records made a recording of an off-Broadway musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt called The Fantasticks. At the time, the production was struggling to stay alive, and producer Lore Noto thought a cast recording might help generate more interest and some extra revenue. Since then, The Fantasticks has become a veritable Rock of Gibraltar on the theatrical landscape, having broken every longevity record for a musical production. This spring 2000 re-release of the cast recording, remastered in 24-bit digital audio, coincides with the 40th anniversary of the play's opening. It's also a deservedly first-class treatment of a sweet, clever, yet deceptively unassuming score. "Try to Remember," "Soon It's Gonna Rain," and "Much More" are the most famous songs in The Fantasticks, but there's not a number here that won't invoke smiles of pleasure, outright laughter at their lyricism and humor. Played on only five instruments, the music is hardly over-scored, but the players make the most of every note and nuance, and the beauty of the remastering, apart from its clarity, is the depth of the sound, which gives the spare forces every possible advantage. The singers -- Jerry Orbach, Kenneth Nelson, Rita Gardner, William Larsen, and Hugh Thomas -- never had a better showing than they get here, and it's possible even in the very cluttered "Rape Ballet" to fully and properly discern all of the rapid-fire Shakespearean conceits. The stereo recording has the discreet separation typical of its era, but the tapes have held up well and the richness of tone is a pleasant surprise. In music so tightly focused on the innocence and joys of youth, the rejuvenation of that sound makes this edition essential listening. The new annotation by Peter Filichia is also a welcome addition. ~ Bruce Eder
Composed by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones.
