| | Eric Clapton Reptile CD - Import Eric Clapton Discography of CDs
"Reptile" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
During the recording of the follow-up to his Grammy-winning collaboration with B.B. King, Eric Clapton's uncle passed away. This loss, coupled with Clapton's struggle to get on a creative track, led to REPTILE, a reflective album driven by a number of impressive stylistic turns. Starting with the gorgeous, samba-inspired instrumental title track, ("reptile" is apparently a term of endearment from Clapton's childhood), the man formerly known as God puts his personal stamp on a number of covers while contributing a handful of stellar originals.
Among the artists getting the Slowhand treatment are old standby J.J. Cale (a chugging "Travelin' Light"), James Taylor (a simmering "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight"), and Big Joe Turner (the loping "Got You on My Mind"). Special guests the Impressions lend a gospel-flavored sheen to a slow-burning version of Ray Charles' "Come Back Baby," while adding a Jordanaires-like presence to a country-flavored take on Stevie Wonder's "I Ain't Gonna Stand for It." Clapton's self-penned cuts are also impressive, ranging from the low-key Brazilian-flavored "Believe in Life," to the poignant acoustic instrumental closer "Son & Sylvia," dedicated to the guitarist's late uncle and his wife.

Rolling Stone (3/29/01, p.60) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Clapton blends virtually every style he's worked in during the past 35 years....Soft soul, classic blues, gutty funk, gospel, after-hours piano and guitar excursions, lite jazz - it's all there....never dropping beneath a certain level of mastery and taste..."
Q (4/01, p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Upbeat....REPTILE covers all bases....Clapton's still a dexterous guitarist..."

Purchase Reptile CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Ramones Chrysalis Anthology CDs (2002) Remastered
Reptile album
 $23.29 
This three-CD compendium from the ill-fated yet highly influential NYC Punk Rock group features material that was recorded for the Chrysalis Records label towards the end of their career in the late 1980s and early 90's.This period finds "Da Brudders" now without original bass player and chief songwriter, the troubled Dee Dee Ramone. Although it is generally acknowledged that the group did their best work in the 70's and 80's for Sire Records, this set is not without highlights, including "I Believe in Miracles" and "Strength to Endure," as well as selections from their album of cover songs written by other artists, and live recordings of their own songs from all stages of their turbulent career.
This box set includes the Ramones' last four studio releases (Brain Drain, Acid Eaters, Mondo ...

| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Reptile songs
$17.10
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling card. And even as she's becoming omnipresent, with her songs mingling with those who co-opt her on the radio, she still is slightly skewed, willing to go so far over the top ...
| | Beatles: Stereo Box Set CDs (2009) Bonus DVD; Limited Edition; Remastered; Box Set
Reptile album
$220.09 
The Beatles always stood apart from their peers, a self-evident statement that sadly extended to the treatment of their catalog in the digital age. Where all their contemporaries from the Byrds to the Who have had their catalogs remastered and reissued in deluxe editions, sometimes several times, the Beatles remained stuck in the early days of digital, their 14 albums plus PAST MASTERS singles collections remaining untouched since 1987. The 2009 reissue campaign corrects almost all the problems of the original 1987 CDs: the sound and artwork are improved, and all the original mono and stereo mixes finally see the light of day. Naturally, it's possible to quibble about some details of the presentation, particularly the decision to split the reissue into two separate box sets, one covering the stereo mixes and one the mono mixes, with only the stereo mixes available as individual discs but both boxes still constitute the best Beatles by far. Crucially, it's also inarguably ...
| | Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD (1994)
Reptile CD music
$8.75 
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a song straight out of '60s girl-group heaven. There is even a "Joy To The World" medley mixing the old and the new--the traditional Christmas song and the Three ...

Reptile CD music
$10.29
Jimmy Webb, best known as a songwriter ("MacArthur Park," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix"), recorded three albums for Reprise Records between 1970 and 1972, and a fourth for Asylum in 1974, without commercial impact, before subsiding into the background work of writing, producing, and arranging for other artists. But he came back to the forefront in May 1977 with the release of El Mirage on Atlantic, his most polished effort yet as a performer. On the Reprise LPs, he had seemed intent on erasing his image as a middle-of-the-road hitmaker, taking a more personal approach to his writing, rocking harder, and singing in a sometimes rough voice. But by the age of 30, he seemed to have reconciled himself to being more of a pop artist, and El Mirage reflected that. The music was produced, arranged, and conducted by George Martin, famed for his work with the Beatles, the strongest outside figure Webb had ever allowed into his recording sessions, and those sessions also were peopled by the cream of Los Angeles musicians, along with such familiar guests as members of Elton John's backup band and, for vocal support, Kenny Loggins and Billy Davis of the 5th Dimension (which had scored ...
