| | 10cc How Dare You CD 10cc Discography of CDs
Japanese limited edition comes in a vinyl style sleeve and features the bonus track "Get It While You Can."
10cc's fourth album, HOW DARE YOU, is the last to feature the original lineup of Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Lol Creme and Kevin Godley. Godley and Creme left shortly after the recording of this album to explore the commercial and artistic possibilities of an instrument they invented, the Gizmo. The Gizmo's eerie drone is all over this record, slotting in beautifully with the multilayered vocal arrangements which were the band's other sonic trademark.
The songs included here are more serious than those on the band's earlier records, although "I'm Mandy, Fly Me," "I Wanna Rule the World," and the sarcastic anthem "Art For Art's Sake" are as smart-alecky as previous hits like "Rubber Bullets" and "I'm Not In Love." The combination of art-rock exploration and the sort of pop smarts the group excelled at makes HOW DARE YOU an immensely satisfying album.
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2007.

How Dare You album
 $27.29  
The 2001 edition of SPIKE comes with a bonus disc of rare material including demos and alternative versions of songs.
On his first album for Warner Brothers, Costello lived up to his new role as "the beloved entertainer", moving further away from his new-wave background with a sprawling collection of songs in a diverse range of musical styles. Spike takes in pure pop ("Veronica"), cod-funk ("Chewing Gum"), gospel ("Deep Dark Truthful Mirror"), Irish folk ("Any King's Shilling") and rockabilly ("Pads, Paws And Claws"), alongside the venomous politicizing of "Let Him Dangle" and "Tramp The Dirt Down". Not everything works, and in fact the strongest song on the album is the simple acoustic ballad "Baby Plays Around", co-written with his wife Cait O'Riordan.
Most of the bonus disc of Rhino's 2001 expanded reissue of Spike, Elvis Costello's first album for Warner Bros., consists of demos for

| | Nick Lowe Convincer CD (2001)
How Dare You CD music
$13.49 
The soft, soulful side that former rabble-rouser Nick Lowe began inching towards on 1990's PARTY OF ONE, and followed through on throughout the decade, reaches its apex on THE CONVINCER. With a lived-in crooning style whose softness belies the lyrics' emotional turmoil, Lowe drags his heart over the coals on songs that encompass '60s R&B, country, and even Bacharach-style pop. From the romantic desperation of the Johnny Cash-like romp "Has She Got a Friend?" to the broken-hearted soul plaint "I'm a Mess" and Sam Cooke-on-a-bender "Cupid Must be Angry," Lowe clearly takes delight in fashioning eloquent, period-perfect statements of lovelorn distress. Though upbeat tunes are scarce here, Lowe's inherent ...

How Dare You music CDs
$12.65
All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Remastered and on CD for the first time, Neil Young's 1977 album is also available for a limited time as a "vinyl replica" CD that duplicates the original LP artwork.
Released right after the career albums TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and ZUMA and right before the big-selling COMES A TIME and RUST NEVER SLEEPS, this country-rocky 1977 album is often forgotten. But it introduced the sensational "Like A Hurricane," which has remained a staple of Young's concerts, and such quirky favorites as "Homegrown," an ode to marijuana, and "Old Country Waltz," which is exactly what it says it is. As Neil Young's legendary ...

| | Strawbs Nomadness CD (1976) (Import) United Kingdom
How Dare You album
$11.29
The mid-1970s found the Strawbs smack dab in the middle of their progressive rock period. As such, the songs on NOMADNESS should appeal to other greats of the genre, such as Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson. That said, while tracks like "To Be Free" and "Tokyo Rosie" are dead ringers for the work of Peter Gabriel, the Strawbs' rootsy folk and country roots are still in evidence, especially on the wistful ballad "The Golden Salamander" and acoustic guitar-driven "A Hanging in the Gallery." A forgotten gem of the Strawbs catalog, NOMADNESS is one of the group's most diverse works.
This chameleon of an album sounds more like ten different bands on a compilation than a unified Strawbs effort; fortunately, those ten bands are very good indeed. The album roars to life with spot-on imitations of Peter Gabriel in "To Be Free" and the Who in the windmilling riffs of "Little Sleepy." The bluesy torch song "Absent Friend" features some fine piano work and pensive electric guitar, while drummer Rod Coombes contributes a superbly withering (and still timely) blast at campaign finance and corruption in "A Mind of My Own." Rick Wakeman even shows up to pitch in a harpsichord part on the otherwise goofy throwaway "Tokyo Rosie." Unjustly neglected on its release by fans bewildered by the band's sudden ...
| | Strawbs Dragonfly CD (1970)
How Dare You CD music
$9.79
Dragonfly was the second album to be released by the Strawbs, though much other material unissued in the late '60s that preceded it has since been made available. (In fact, earlier versions of two of the songs, "I Turned My Face into the Wind," and "Josephine, For Better or for Worse," appear on the archival releases Strawberry Music Sampler, No. 1 and Preserves Uncanned, respectively.) Dragonfly was also the only LP the band recorded with cellist Claire Deniz in the lineup. Though an attractive and competent record, it's not as impressive as their debut. The songs aren't as striking, and the arrangements -- even with the addition of a fourth full-time member in Deniz -- aren't as effective as the mating of folk-rock, medieval, and classical music that characterized the best songs on the first album. It's a more subdued effort, and not as grave in its mood, Deniz's cello doing much to mellow the sound. Dave Cousins retained ...

| | 24 Great Instrumental Bands Play The Fireballs CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
How Dare You songs
$17.35
While the Fireballs had some success as an instrumental rock group back in the late '50s and 1960s, you'd be hard-pressed to say they were an especially influential group. Even in the world of instrumental guitar rock, the Ventures, for instance, were far more influential both in the U.S. and overseas. So it's a bit of a stretch to put together a 24-track compilation of covers of songs that were recorded by the Fireballs (and, usually, written by the Fireballs' George Tomsco). Mixing together obscure Fireballs covers from the early '60s with much more recent interpretations by more modern bands, it's something of a mix of a '60s instrumental rock compilation and a tribute album -- but not quite either. For that reason alone, it's rather uneven listening, and it's fair to say that most of the relatively small band of people who collect Fireballs releases in the first place will be more interested in the vintage material than the newer items. Accepting all these limitations, this is an adequate testament to the modest influence the group had, and continues (in a very low-scale cultish level) to have, with their Tex-Mex-flavored brand of instrumental guitar rock. It did reach as far as covers by two of the biggest bands in the genre, the Ventures (who ...
