Over The Top Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Cozy For Ever!
First of all, you have to excuse my poor English. I'm a guy from Canary Islands. I love this album and think is marvellous from the beginning to the end. The producer, Martin Birch (Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, BÖC...) makes a perfect work. The sound is pure and solid. What an energy has this music, and great feeling too. You only have to look at the musicians that Cozy had in "Over The Top": Max Middleton (Jeff Beck Group) and Don Airey (Rainbow)on keyboards; Gary Moore (Colosseum II) and Clem Clempson (Humble Pie) on guitar ; Jack Bruce (Cream) on bass; and the Master (Bedlam, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath ...) on drums. Jack Bruce deserves a special mention because of his superb playing (very unique) that leads increadibily the music. I have "Over The Top" completely new in LP and I love it like a treasure. I'm looking for anxiously the Japanese cd version from a long time ago. Buy this album and this beautiful music will make you very happy. Best Regards, friends. Fran

5 stars Ultimate jam session!!!
From the first note, on, this album CRANKS!! Jack Bruce matches Cozy Powells drumming beat for beat!! Every song rocks so much it's hard to decide which "air" instrument to play. Although there are NO vocals (which for this album IS NOT a bad thing), the best way to describe this album is to say "West Bruce and Laing meets Jeff Beck meets Jack Bruce and Friends". A MUST for any hard and fast rocker! 5 stars PLUS!!!

Bette Midler Rose CD (1979) Remastered

Over The Top

$16.09

All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Paul A. Rothchild produced the final Janis Joplin studio album, Pearl, as well as many a Doors disc, and the late producer was the perfect guy to tackle this tribute to Joplin featuring "The Divine Miss M" as "Pearl"/"The Rose." In March of 1980, the version of "When a Man Loves a Woman" from this 1979 film soundtrack went Top 35, and Midler's biggest hit followed her Oscar nomination, but it was a well-produced version of the title track, different from the album, which went Top Three, the gold single the biggest of her six hits up to this point in time. It's a strange twist of events, Bette's previous 1979 album, Thighs and Whispers, has technically better sounds, Arif Mardin drenching it in the disco of the day, but that artificial episode pales next to this project, which features Lou Reed's "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" bandmates guitarist Steve Hunter and drummer Whitey Glan. The concerts were recorded live during June and July of 1978, and there's more than a touch of the Mitch Ryder sound on "Whose Side Are You On," the album opener. Hunter was in the Mitch Ryder band Detroit, which led up to Lou Reed's ensemble, so the level of authenticity goes far beyond what filmmakers put into, say, the Blues Brothers. They utilize a different set of musicians on "Love Me With a Feeling," the "Turtle Blues" of this story, vaguely referencing the original title to the Big Brother & the Holding Company album that tune came from with the "sex, drugs and rock & roll" chant. Bette Midler is a star perpetually evolving into icon, and this album's success, as well as the two hit singles it spawned, certainly helped the film, as much as the movie brought Midler to a new level of fame. Her voice is terrific on "Midnight in Memphis," and the material is extraordinary for many reasons. Midler gets to show what a tremendous blues singer she can be, drawing from the many elements she's secured from years on the stage. It's a pivotal moment in her career. The rendition of Genya Ravan's chestnut, "Stay With Me," penned by one of Joplin's favorite songwriters, producer Jerry Ragovoy, could have been the showstopper album track here. It isn't. The listener has to know the film in order to understand why the singer's voice is purposely falling apart. The strange twists of fate mentioned earlier appear again here -- the soundtrack to the Janis Joplin biography film contained studio versions of great live performances that are in the film; as Midler cut a different version of the title track,which became a number one adult contemporary hit and Top Three on the popular charts, "Stay With Me" also should have been re-recorded. Had Midler released a version of that tune with the same desperation and passions of "When a Man Loves a Woman," this LP might ...

Black Sabbath Sabotage CD (1975)

Over The Top

$8.99

Black Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne (vocals); Tony Iommi (guitar); Geezer Butler (bass); Bill Ward (drums).
Additional personnel: English Chamber Choir (background vocals).
Principally recorded at Morgan Studios, London, England.
Years of constant touring, alcoholism, and drug abuse finally began to affect Black Sabbath around the time of their sixth release, 1975's Sabotage. While it's not a bad album (in fact, it's one of their most underrated), you can sense that the magical chemistry that made such albums as Paranoid and Vol. 4 so special was beginning to disintegrate. But guitarist Tony Iommi again comes equipped with an arsenal of sturdy, ultra-heavy riffs, as evidenced by the raucous album opener, "Hole in the Sky," ...
