FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS FINEST is a greatest-hits collection with three previously-unreleased tracks.
Fine Young Cannibals includes: Roland Gift (vocals); Andy Cox (guitar); David Steele (keyboards, bass).
Fine Young Cannibals only released two albums, so it's slightly unusual that they even have a greatest-hits collection like Fine Young Cannibals Finest. After all, a dedicated fan will have both records, and casual fans will only want the singles on The Raw & the Cooked, thereby eliminating the audience for the collection. Despite these misgivings, Finest does its job well, featuring 12 of their biggest hits and best-known songs ("She Drives Me Crazy," "Johnny Come Home," "Good Thing," "Suspicious Minds," "Don't Look Back"), plus two unreleased cuts ("The Flame" and "Since You've Been Gone") to entice collectors. If you want the highlights, Finest is fine, but most fans will want to stick with the two original albums. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Producers include: Roland Gift, Andy Cox, David Steele, David Z, Robin Miller.
Fine Young Cannibals: Roland Gift (vocals); Andy Cox (guitar); David Steele (drums).Entertainment Weekly (12/20/96, pp.76-77) - "...Their sound--post-punk's nervous rhythms combined with soulful arrangements and melodies--has held up well; three new songs neither augment nor diminish the band's brief yet impressive legacy." - Rating: B+
Q (12/96, p.158) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...spooky, unique vocalese, great tunes, wonky, memorable guitar licks and rhythms that would persuade Sepultura fans to shake a leg. In short, we've forgotten just how good they were." Finest Music Review Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars)   Outstanding!
Imo, Fine Young Cannibals are......were....whatever.......one of the more underated ensembles. This cd is an excellent collection of some of their best stuff. They are plum groovy!

Purchase Finest CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | John Fogerty Centerfield CD (1985) Remastered
Finest album
 $6.49   
"Put me in coach, I'm ready to play." These are lines familiar to any baseball fan, for John Fogerty's "Centerfield" has become the unofficial song of our national pastime. Those lines also signaled Fogerty's return to the music business after a ten-year absence. The music is mighty familiar, as Fogerty works the same terrain he mined for gold with Creedence Clearwater Revival from 1968-1972. The riff of the opening track, "The Old Man Down the Road," sounds so much like the Creedence hit "Run Through the Jungle" that Fogerty was sued by his former record company for plagiarizing himself. (He won the suit, the court upholding a composer's right to sound like himself.) "Old Man" was a Top Ten single, and this album reached number one itself. "Big Train (From Memphis)" is a rockabilly salute to Elvis, while "I Saw It on TV" takes us on a trip through the '50s and '60s "from Hooter to Doodyville," via the boob tube. "Searchlight" ...

| | Electric Light Orchestra A New World Record - Expanded Edition CD (1976) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Finest songs
$7.59 
Also available in a 3-pack with FACE THE MUSIC and DISCOVERY.
1976's A NEW WORLD RECORD is both a classic of commercial '70s pop and an archetypal ELO album. From the outer-space synths and rich orchestrations that open the album to Jeff Lynne's meticulous production and Beatlesque melodies, A NEW WORLD RECORD is magnificent ear candy. Both ambitious enough to appeal to "serious" rock fans and ultra-catchy enough to sound terrific on Top 40 radio (the plaintively gorgeous, McCartney-like "Telephone Line" and the anthemic "Livin' Thing" were well-deserved smashes), ELO was one of the few '70s bands whose appeal covered both the FM and AM spectrums. The album even resurrects "Do Ya," a classic single by Lynne's former band, the Move, in a splashy new version.
The next ELO album, 1977's elaborate double-album OUT OF THIS WORLD, was probably the band's commercial high point, but A NEW WORLD RECORD is the group's artistic high-water mark.
Jeff Lynne reportedly regards this album and its follow-up, Out of the Blue, as the high points in the band's history. One might be better off opting for A ...
| | Electric Light Orchestra Face The Music CD (1975) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Expanded Edition
Finest album
$7.59
Also available in a 3-pack with A NEW WORLD RECORD and DISCOVERY.
Master Sound releases are 24-karat gold CDs remastered from first-generation masters. This process utilizes 20-bit technology and Sony's revolutionary "Super Bit Mapping" system.
ELO was big enough by 1974 that some people actually suggested that ELDORADO featured Satanic backward-masking. Of course, the idea was ludicrous; but the band playfully responded by adding a backward message to "Fire on High," the opening instrumental on 1975's FACE THE MUSIC.
Besides "Fire on High," which was used as background music for countless television programs in the '70s, this album's eight lengthy tracks include ...
| | Electric Light Orchestra On The Third Day CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Expanded Edition
Finest CD music
$7.59
In some ways, 1973's ON THE THIRD DAY is the first "true" ELO album. Though co-founder Roy Wood had left the band to form the more experimental Wizzard after the first album, his influence was still all over 1972's ELO II, especially on the orchestrated cover of Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven." ON THE THIRD DAY, however, is pure Jeff Lynne, the first album completely devoted ...
| | Beach Boys Sunflower/Surf's Up CDs (2000) Remastered
Finest music CDs
$11.69
Mike Love has worn down the Beach Boys' cars-and-surf sound into empty exercises in nostalgia while Brian Wilson based his reputation among the rock intelligentsia almost entirely upon PET SOUNDS and the unreleased SMILE. Nevertheless, there are many Beach Boys cultists who feel that SUNFLOWER and SURF'S UP are the band's finest work.
Released in 1970 and '71 as the first products of their new Brother Records deal with Warner Brothers, whose commercial and artistic expectations were much different than the group had experienced at Capitol, ...
| | Faithless Reverence CD (1996) Bonus Tracks; Germany; Reissue; Remastered
Finest songs
$11.65
Inspired by house, rap, reggae, '50s vocal harmonies, techno, and even opera, along with a host of other musical genres, Faithless creates amalgamations of these styles onto tracks of generous length. The group's debut, REVERENCE, is one of the most consistent and surprising records to emerge from the club scenes of '90s England, and features at least two bona fide masterpieces.
The extraordinary "Salva Mea" starts with a plaintive vocal before bursting into a fast, massive rave-up, and then settles into a wickedly fuzzed-out, bass-driven rap--and that's only in the first three minutes of this nearly 11-minute track. The other standout is the utterly stunning "Insomnia," which would justify the record even if the rest of it weren't as good. Starting off with a variety of ...
| | Dan Lavorel After Darkness Light CD (2007)
Finest album
$10.59
"Heavy Folk Rock" is a moniker once used to describe the unlikely musical blend and lyrics of Dan Lavorel. Beautiful, haunting pop songs mixed with folk and rock elements that make for some seriously catchy hooks you will find yourself humming to after only a couple of listens. Born in California and whisked away to Europe at the ripe age of 2 months, Dan would cut his musical teeth in high school bands and songwriting while traveling Europe and living a quite unique childhood.Leaning heavily on British hard rock influences and American folk songwriters his style was fashioned out of that dichotomy and give him his unique approach to songwriting.Returning to the U.S to attend college in New Mexico, Dan would found the gothic rock outfit “Masque†and pay some serious dues in the bars and clubs from Texas to California. Releasing 2 independent albums, Masque would see a series of lineups before eventually folding in 2003. During their run they would experience some near euphoric evenings and help to earn themselves the epithet of the “Deserts undisputed kings of gothic ...
