| | Motorhead Extended Versions CD Motorhead Discography of CDs
Ever since the release of their 1981 release No Sleep 'til Hammersmith (one of heavy metal's all-time classic live albums, and a U.K. chart-topper), thrash metal pioneers Motörhead have been the subject of quite a few subsequent live sets, many of which appeared to be have been released without the approval of Lemmy and co. (1988's No Sleep at All, plus such archival releases as 1989's Blitzkrieg on Birmingham '77, 1997's King Biscuit Flower Hour, etc.). The 2002 Motörhead edition of the ongoing budget-priced Extended Versions series from BMG appears to fall in this category, as well. Comprised of ten tracks, the album features the group's latter-day lineup (Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Mikkey Dee) roaring through classics that will be extremely familiar to longtime fans: "Bomber," "Overkill," and "Ace of Spades," in addition to such oft-overlooked '80s nuggets as "Killed by Death" and "Orgasmatron." If you're looking for the definitive live versions of the majority of the songs here, No Sleep 'til Hammersmith is obviously the wiser choice. But if you want to hear more recent Motörhead proving that they can still thrash through their classics with fury, then Extended Versions is worth a listen. ~ Greg Prato Extended Versions Review

| | Black Widow Sacrifice CD (1970) (Import) Germany
Extended Versions songs
$15.75 
Black Widow may have enjoyed a reasonably long and defiantly varied career. But to anyone who cares, they will be remembered for just one song, "Come to the Sabbat" -- not a hit single, but a standout on a cheapo label compilation in the early '70s, and destined to live on for decades after the band. Naturally, the accompanying Sacrifice album has bounced along in its wake, first as an increasingly expensive vinyl collectors' item, more recently as a regular on the CD reissue circuit, and here it comes again, this time bearing more primal Black Widow than you could ever have dreamed of hearing. Ultimate Sacrifice: One opens, naturally, with the original seven-song album. More fascinating, however, is the chance to hear five of the seven ("Way to Power" and "Attack of the Demon" are absent) in their original demo form, where they are revealed, if anything, to be even more dramatic than on the final vinyl. "In Ancient Days" in particular profits from the looseness of the performance, while "Come to the Sabbat" packs a feel of abandonment that makes the familiar version seem quite sedate. Of course, the bonus tracks are really only of interest if you truly worship the original record, and, once past "Come to the Sabbat," there probably aren't many people who feel that strongly. But the liners tell the band's tale well, the remastering is impressive, and if you're not doing anything next weekend, you might well want to drop by Black Widow's house. They've got somebody visiting, you know. [In 2004, Castle reissued Sacrifice on CD with five bonus tracks, retitling it Ultimate Sacrifice: One.] ~ Dave Thompson
Black Widow may have enjoyed a reasonably long and defiantly varied career, but to anyone who cares they will be remembered for just one song, "Come to the Sabbat." Not a hit single, but a standout on a cheapo label compilation in the early '70s, it was destined to live on for decades after the band -- it was even sampled for a Saint Etienne remix in the mid-'90s. Naturally, the accompanying Sacrifice album has bounced along in its wake, its initial reception as an overwrought concept album now forgotten in the rush to praise it as one of the most ambitious prog albums of the age. Set around a full-scale magical rite conjuring the goddess Astoroth, the album's reputation as a satanic artifact is, in fact, very overblown despite the lyrical evidence; live, the stage show was choreographed by Alex Sanders and his wife, Maxine, founders of the Alexandrian strain of Wicca. Their participation alone ensured a balance between the expected shock value and actual spiritual significance, and that same equanimity is present on the album. ...
| | Megadeth Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! CD (1985) Remix
Extended Versions album
$8.15
After guitarist Dave Mustaine was booted out of Metallica in 1983, he immediately returned home to San Francisco and formed Megadeth. The new outfit was instantly compared to Mustaine's former band, and the comparisons haven't subsided since. Whereas both outfits shared such musical elements as muted guitar riffs and speedy rhythms, Megadeth's first album seemed to be more influenced by punk and hardcore. KILLING IS MY BUSINESS AND BUSINESS IS GOOD also saw Mustaine's debuting his lead-vocal skills.
Mustaine must have had a lot of pent-up anger to express, since KILLING is simply explosive from beginning to end. The brutal title track lyrically deals with a sniper who revels in hunting down his unsuspecting prey. Nancy Sinatra's hit "These Boots are Made For Walking" is redone as a blinding speed metal ditty. Other highlights include the album opening "Last Rites/Loved to Death" and the pro-heavy metal "Rattlehead." The album-closing "Mechanix" had previously surfaced-as "The Four Horsemen," with different lyrics-on Metallica's debut KILL 'EM ALL. While not as exceptional as Megadeth's subsequent albums, KILLING proves that Mustaine is a survivor.
If you have the original version of Megadeth's debut record, Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!, then there is no reason to go out and buy this slightly remixed 2002 version. Only the most hardcore fan would want to own both. It is a classic metal album, as good if not better than Metallica's or Slayer's debut records. Songs like "Looking Down the Cross" and "The Skull Beneath the Skin" are heavy, while sillier tunes like "Killing Is My Business" and Megadeth's cover of the Nancy Sinatra hit "These Boots" are a lot of fun. The guitar playing all over the record absolutely shreds. This was music from the glory years of metal and Megadeth was at the top of the game with many more and even better albums to come. But this 2002 version released on the rap label Loud suffers because the song "These Boots" has all the bad words bleeped out of it, because the song's original writer, Lee Hazelwood, found them offensive. Rap fans are used to hearing songs with all the bad words bleeped out on the radio, ...

“Singin’ & Swingin’” marks 3 For The Show’s CD debut, and is dedicated to all the trio’s fans who lovingly pestered the group with the following question: “Do you have a CD yet?” The CD is comprised of eight well-known standards, but there is nothing “standard” about the group’s treatment of the material. Listen closely and you will hear the influences of arrangers like Juan Garcia Esquivel, Billy May, and Dave Lambert in 3 For The Show’s work, as well as tributes to great musicians like Charlie “Bird” Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, and The Manhattan Transfer. The trio understands how much they owe those who have gone before, and make a point of acknowledging the fact with every note they sing.Perhaps the only thing better ...
