| | Platters All-Time Greatest Hits CD Platters Discography of CDs
(3 Customer Reviews)
Recorded between 1956 & 1967. Includes liner notes by Fred Bronson.
While this single-disc distillation of the Platters' biggest hits is superb, it's almost identical to Rhino's 1998 comp Enchanted: The Best of the Platters, except that the Rhino disc actually has everything here plus three additional tracks. None of those three extra songs are among the group's more familiar numbers, though, so in all honesty All-Time Greatest Hits will be just as sufficient for most fans. It has all 15 of their first Top Forty hits, an astonishing run that went from 1955's "Only You (And You Alone)" through 1960's "Harbor Lights," and adds the more modern soul-pop successes they landed in 1966 and 1967 with "With This Ring" and "I Love You 1000 Times." It's some of the finest, and certainly the most successful, pop-doo wop crossover music ever made, though Mercury's two-CD, 50-track The Magic Touch: An Anthology is the preferred compilation for more serious enthusiasts. ~ Richie Unterberger
Producers: Buck Ram, Luther Dixon.
Compilation producer: Harry Weinger.

All-Time Greatest Hits music CDs
$18.05 Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical ...

| | Kix Blow My Fuse CD (1988)
All-Time Greatest Hits music CDs
$8.69 By 1988, Kix had only managed to squeeze out three modest-selling records for Atlantic Records. Led in tandem by the endearing frontman Steve Whiteman and chief songwriter and bassist Donnie Purnell, for years, Kix would be unfairly categorized as a supposed "hair band." Worse still, Whiteman would later wake up to find his dancing-on-my-tippy-toes stage act (just think Steven Tyler meets Johnny Thunders on uppers) stolen and carbon copied for the masses by a host of other inferior frontmen including Poison's Brett Michaels. After playing the East Coast club circuit for ten-plus years (with little commercial success to show for it), Kix's own brand of infectious AC/DC power rock-meets-New York, black-hair-dye-glam would finally see its big payoff with the release of 1988's, Blow My Fuse. Produced by hard rock stalwart Tom Werman, Blow My Fuse may have proved to be the band's biggest-selling record but not necessarily its best. Featuring ten solid songs, including the first ...
| | DJ Pierre Mix The Vibe: Wild Pitch Switch 2001 CD (2001)
All-Time Greatest Hits songs
$12.19 This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by DJ Pierre.
As one of the founding member of Chicago acid unit Phuture, DJ Pierre made one of the most essential contributions to modern music, inducting the 303 acid line into the vocabulary of dance music producers and forever sending the already cutting-edge sound of electronic music into overdrive. Having developed acid, Pierre put his solo efforts into a new sound with an equally excellent name. "Wild pitch" might have been more closely tied ...
| | Blowing The Fuse: 29 R&B Classics That Rocked The Jukebox In 1952 CD (2005) (Import) Import; Germany
All-Time Greatest Hits album
$24.15 Compiled by DJ Dave "Daddy Cool" Booth, this remastered collection showcases rare and greatest hits of 1950s R&B.
Blowing the Fuse is a killer series of compilation CDs issued by Germany's premier archivist label, Bear Family. Subtitled "R&B Classics That Rocked the Jukebox," each volume is compiled by year. 1952 was a boom year for jukeboxes across the United States. This volume contains 29 affirmed classics of the early postwar years. The more well-known tunes of the era are given great balance by some nearly forgotten gems that are juxtaposed in the brilliant sequencing -- by producer Dave "Daddy Cool" Booth. Big Joe Turner and Van "Piano Man" Walls open the set with "The Chill Is On," followed by the Swallows doing "It Ain't the Meat." B.B. King's classic "3 O'Clock Blues," precedes one of those rather obscure, but deeply satisfying cuts: Johnny Greer's "Got You on My Mind." Other fine ...
