This budget-priced 10-song CD, clocking in at just under 45 minutes, contains two more tracks than the official best-of, including "Hold Your Head Up" and "God Gave Rock and Roll to You." "Liar," "Pleasure," "Tragedy," and "Time of the Season" aren't here, but there's still a solid selection of hard-rocking numbers off of the group's first four LPs, with perhaps a little bit of weight given to their art rock side as well but nothing too pretentious. The group comes off overall like a lower wattage but smarter rival to Deep Purple, and this CD isn't a bad place to start (despite the absence of any annotation), especially since it makes use of the best available masters. ~ Bruce Eder
Features 10 tracks including these top selling hits 'Hold Your Head Up', 'God Gave Rock And Roll To You' and 'It's Only Money'. Collectables. 2004.

Hold Your Head Up songs
$6.25 (MP3 Available for Download) This 1999 reissue contains four bonus tracks not on the original release.
An expanded reissue of a 1969 best-of compilation, GREATEST HITS is still the best single-disc distillation of the magic that was Donovan. (1992's double-disc TROUBADOUR, however, is great for bigger fans or rarities buffs.) One of the classic love-him-or-hate-him artists of the '60s, Donovan Leitch's mixture of folky sincerity ("Colours"), hippie-dippie humanism ("Atlantis," "Epistle To Dippy") and just plain daffy surrealism ("Sunshine Superman," "Hurdy Gurdy Man," "Mellow Yellow"), set to Mickie Most's Swinging London arrangements, heavy on the horns and strings, epitomizes the Carnaby Street era like no one else can.
The handful of bonus tracks include Donovan's surprisingly cool collaboration with the Jeff Beck Group on "Barabajagal" and his theme for the Chuck Jones TV cartoon "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." Novices should start here.

| | Miles Davis Bitches Brew CDs (1970) Remastered
Hold Your Head Up album
$15.95 (MP3 Available for Download) Among the most controversial recordings in the history of jazz, BITCHES BREW was Miles Davis' shot across the bow of jazz insularity, a bold statement about jazz's ability to draw upon elements of popular culture, without mitigating its spirit of spontaneous invention. Much as Ornette Coleman's THE SHAPE OF JAZZ TO COME set a new standard for harmonic and melodic freedom a decade before, BITCHES BREW signaled a sea change in jazz.
Davis became a lightning rod for jazz's transformation, by mixing the best elements of '60s free jazz with dancing funk rhythms, electric rock textures, blues phrasing and his own breakthroughs in harmony and modality. Davis employed the Electric Flag's Harvey Brooks to double up with upright bassist Dave Holland on the Fender bass, and he is the modal heartbeat of every tune, freeing up the multiple drummers and keyboardists ...
| | Best Of Spirit CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Hold Your Head Up CD music
$6.75 (MP3 Available for Download) Recorded between 1967 & 1970. Includes liner notes by Ron Garmon.
The members of Spirit had such wide-ranging musical backgrounds it's a wonder that they came together at all. The band managed to create four fine albums before splintering and reforming in a series of altered lineups. The group's blend of jazz, rock & roll, and pop leanings resulted in some surprising singles. Perhaps most audacious was the group's first hit, "Mechanical World." The song sounds like nothing else on the radio before or since, and says a great deal about the breadth of radio programming in the '60s.
The band's breakthrough chart hit was "I Got a Line on You." Not surprisingly, this song reached the heights it did by narrowing its focus down to a winning match of riffs and hooks. With the album THE TWELVE DREAMS OF DR. SARDONICUS, Spirit had its first commercially successful LP (though Spirit unfortunately disbanded after its release). Two songs in particular helped reel in new listeners, "Nature's Way" and "Mr. Skin," both of which are featured here. This collection is a fine short introduction to Spirit. For a more in-depth look, try the ...
| | Black Sabbath Black Box: The Complete Original 1970-1978 CDs (2004)
Hold Your Head Up MP3 Album
$64.29 This release includes a bonus DVD featuring live footage of Black Sabbath performing "Black Sabbath," "Paranoid," "Iron Man," and "Blue Suede Shoes" on the German television show THE BEAT CLUB.
Recorded between 1972 & 1978. Includes liner notes by Chris Welch and Brian Ives Tim Scanlin.
Although Ozzy Osbourne has had a huge cultural impact as both a solo artist and an unlikely TV star, his true legacy lies in the eight albums he recorded with Black Sabbath between 1970 and 1978. Though musical performers in various genres regularly conjured up images of evil (most notably the Rolling Stones on "Sympathy for the Devil"), no act ever actually sounded consistently evil until Sabbath's self-titled first record. The British quartet's sound arrived fully formed, with Tony Iommi's crushing guitar riffs, Geezer Butler's ...

| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Hold Your Head Up songs
$16.44 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 ...

| | Horace X Strategy CD (2005)
Hold Your Head Up music CDs
$9.95 Horace X's hyper-eclectic mixture of dancehall, Celtic, and other styles isn't quite as vivid on Strategy as it was on their previous album, Sackbutt. The musical potpourri seems a bit less distinctive and the individual songs don't stand out as much, partly because of the increased reliance on programmed rhythms and other electronic elements. Nonetheless, this is a fun, danceable album by a tight band. The reggae influence is evident from the opening track, "First Love," as is the juxtaposition of Simon Twitchin's ragga style vocals with Hazel ...
