Holst: The Planets Classical Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  THE BEST SONIC VERSION AVAILABLE
This is a superb transfer, now out of print and VERY hard to find. There are copies out there if you search enough. If you are a Holst fan and especially The Planets, you will find this to be an extraordinary version of this recording. JVC got this one right, as noted by Harry Pearson of TAS. He nailed this one correctly. I can see why he uses this disc to properly calibrate equipment and speaker placement. It will be worthy member of anyone's personal super disc list. And, one of the few digital large scale orchestral pieces I have heard that sounds truly analog in all aspects. Simply lovely, dynamic, and profoundly beautiful.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Great recording, great sound
This xrcd really does justice to an already excellent recording by a famous conductor, conducting a great orchestra. Worth every penny even if you have the LP and CD.

Holst: The Planets
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers ...
| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs (1990)
Holst: The Planets
$15.29
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think Twice," "C'mon," "Kind Woman," "From the Inside," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Crazy Eyes," and on and on, this is wonderful music, ahead of its time in many ways. If Poco had arrived on the scene in the early '90s, they would have been ...

Recorded between 1967 & 1983. Includes liner notes by Jim Ladd.
Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Doors album, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS supercedes all former Doors compilations. At two discs and 34 tracks, this is quite comprehensive for a band whose key lineup released only half a dozen albums. In addition to all the expected hits like "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," and "Roadhouse Blues," this compilation ...
