Ferry's first solo effort since the second breakup of Roxy Music is arguably his best, in part because it continues in the direction the band had been going. It's like AVALON, only more so.
Here, Ferry's lounge lizard affectations are writ large; the lyrical pose is all bruised romantic fatalism (say hello, "Slave to Love"), and the music fits it like a glove. The album's soundscapes are lush and echo-laden, and nearly every track has a discreet disco pulse; "Valentine," the one exception, is mid-tempo reggae. Overlaid with skittish percussion and guitars, BOYS AND GIRLS is the aural equivalent of a white dinner jacket and a half-empty bottle of champagne.

It is an awesome thing, this record, maybe the most haunting rock record ever. Yet, it doesn't really rock in an agressive, hype up your emotions way. It is brooding, like a wintery night in New York all swallowed up in romantic longing. There is the chill of death at the end, and the beautiful dedication to his recently deceased father makes it resonate with depth. Lyrically, melodically and sonically layered to perfection from beginning to end. The eighties had a lot of fantastic, brilliant music that some revisionists have not bothered to seek out. Sorry, if you never heard this, the Cure, Siouxie, Dead Can Dance, the Cocteau Twins, the Smiths, early U2 and so much more you have only yourself to blame for thinking it was all crappy synth pop back then (and stupid hair). It wasn't. Go back and check for yourselves. Ditch the radio and lies about the era that have been passed on by uninformed culture snobs and dig deep. I don't live in the past. I know who Radiohead and Sigur Ros and Bjork are. I love them all, but they would be the first to tell you about the influence of the eighties on their work.

I loved this album since first I heard it so long ago and it still possesses the same smoky, haunting resonance as it did then. I love this album--Bryan Ferry still charms.

Boys And Girls album
 $20.35   
Recorded live at the Fillmore East, New York, New York on March 12-13, 1971. Originally released on Capricorn.
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The original Fillmore East album is one of the finest live documents of the rock era, capturing the original line-up of one of the '70s' tightest outfits before they were cruelly robbed of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Taken from five 1971 performances at New York's fabled Fillmore East, the extended and effortlessly melodic workouts of "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post" still have the power to rivet and move.

| | Elton John Honky Chateau CD (1972) SACD Hybrid
Boys And Girls CD music
$15.19
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
By the time Elton John went to France to cut HONKY CHATEAU in 1972, he had already become the first act since the Beatles to land four albums in the American Top 10 simultaneously. Up to that point, John had performed in a trio rounded out by bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson. The addition of guitarist Davey Johnstone on HONKY CHATEAU added another dimension to the overall sound. The results were successful, as the nonsensical "Honky Cat" and the Bowie-inspired "Rocket Man" became John's first Top 10 hits since the release of "Your Song" two years prior.
John and co. reined in the lengthy, moody excesses of MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER, turning ...
| | Elton John Madman Across The Water CD (1971) SACD Hybrid
Boys And Girls music CDs
$15.89
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER produced only a couple of minor hits, which may have something to do with the fact that its best songs are all five or six minutes long. But they're among the strongest songs in the entire Elton John catalog--especially the lovely opening track, "Tiny Dancer," which builds from a light, delicately melodic verse to a sweeping, dramatic chorus. Another highlight is the inscrutably biographic "Levon," whose title character was born "on a Christmas day when the New York Times said God is dead."
John's luxurious piano melodies, Bernie Taupin's poetic lyrics, and Paul Buckmaster's ...
| | Elton John Tumbleweed Connection CD (1971) SACD Hybrid
Boys And Girls songs
$15.19 
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Recorded in the charmed period between the initial success of ELTON JOHN and superstar extravaganzas like GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION, a loose concept album about the American West, was a strange, sideways move for Elton John and songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. A album in the traditional sense, it is best heard as a piece, with songs that pick up and expand on each other's moods and settings. Notice, for example, the progression of characters from the young fighter waving "My Father's Gun," to the retired and forgotten "Talking Old Soldiers," to the protagonist of "Where To Now St. Peter?," shot down by "a sweet young foreign gun" and ready to be judged by his maker.
The mood holds from the sepia-toned LP cover art to John's songwriting, ...
| | Eric Clapton 461 Ocean Boulevard CD (1974) Hybrid; SACD Hybrid
Boys And Girls album
$15.19
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
After playing the 1973 Rainbow Concerts that were arranged by good friend Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton returned to Florida's Criteria Recording Studio to cut 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD. Because of a stint of personal turmoil, Clapton had not played guitar for two years preceeding the Rainbow Concerts, but with the help of a core group of musicians including George Terry, former Derek & the Dominos bassist Carl Radle, Jamie Oldaker, and Yvonne Elliman, Slowhand put together an album that many consider to be his best.
Focusing more on his singing than his guitar pyrotechnics of the past, the new, improved Clapton used a laid-back, J.J. Cale-type vocal style to great effect on a mellow version of "Willie And The Hand Jive" and Elmore James's "I Can't Hold Out." Far from being a kinder, gentler guitar hero, Clapton also showed considerable spark on a slide-drenched "Motherless ...
