Street Cafe Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Could be better
I think the song Street Cafe is the best track on this CD, so buying the single may be a better choice. But there are other tracks that are interesting to listen to if you know the original versions well. I like Icehouse in any form, so it was worth buying the whole CD.

New Take on Familiar Sounds
A lot of folks have forgotten the New Wave band Icehouse but this collection of remixes ought to freshen up their memories.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Brilliant!
This album was originally released under the name Meltdown. It contained updated 1005 remixes of a selection of Icehouse's 21 #1 worldwide remixes. As Iva Davies is still turning out Hit Albums under the Icehouse name, as well as doing all the music for the Australian Olympics and was nominated for an Oscar for his score of the movie Master & Commander staring Russell Crow. This is a fantastic album to tie us over until the next release. As the top selling group out of Australia, out selling INXS, Kylie and Midnight Oil combined, it's unfortunate that a band so massively sucessful has gone virtually unknown in The US after their #1 hits with Electric Blue, No Promises and Crazy. Enjoy this fantastic album.

Purchase Street Cafe CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Tony Orlando Bless You And Seventeen Other Great Hits CD (1997)
Street Cafe
 $10.59 
Tony Orlando's early years as a teen idol may have yielded only a handful of minor hits, but his later fame with Dawn guaranteed that they would eventually be resurrected. "Bless You" was the biggest of Orlando's early charters, inching into the Top 15 in 1961. That song, as well as his other Epic recordings from 1961-1963, exemplify the teen pop style of the era with sparkling arrangements of pizzicato strings, a sweet vocal chorus, and other sugary treats for the ear. On "Lonely Am I," even words of loneliness seem heavenly when crooned to the angelic tones of a harp. Orlando placed seven of his Epic singles in Billboard's Top 135, and all but one are anthologized on Bless You and Seventeen Other Great Hits. British rocker Billy Fury covered "Halfway to Paradise" and enjoyed a major hit overseas, but Orlando's original didn't fare nearly as well stateside. Nonetheless, Orlando's early recordings are fine specimens of Brill Building pop, with an assortment of Barry Mann and Carole King songs given skillful, sophisticated readings. Even though Orlando flubs the lyrics of Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover," he recovers quickly enough to salvage ...
| | Wanda Jackson Queen Of Rockabilly CDs (2000) (Import) United Kingdom
Street Cafe
$16.95   
Recorded between 1956 and 1963. Includes liner notes by Rob Finnis.
Digitally remastered by Duncan Cowell (Sound Mastering Limited).
Ace Records' Queen of Rockabilly is such a good idea for a Wanda Jackson collection that it's astonishing that it didn't get put together and released until 2000 -- or that Bear Family Records, which is no slouch when it comes to distilling down certain aspects and angles of American country and rock & roll stars, didn't do it first. It should have been out a lot earlier, in the 1970s -- that would have saved hundreds of listeners (maybe thousands, around the world) having to buy, borrow, or steal her old LPs and singles, so we could isolate and distill down her rockabilly and rock & roll tracks onto open-reel tape or audio cassette. Compiler/annotator Rob Finnis allows the songs to jump across seven years, back and forth, pulling together the strands and threads of this side of Jackson's work into a killer collection of 30 songs, clocking in at less than 70 minutes. And running through the rough and raucous rock & roll sounds is the enigma of Wanda Jackson herself -- this CD touches more musical and cultural buttons than even the man who put it together seems aware of, or than Jackson herself will ever admit to. She has said that she was never as consciously committed to rockabilly or rock & roll as her career direction would seem to indicate; she spent years walking a tightrope between traditional country and rock & roll, just trying to carve out a niche for herself ...
| | Skeeter Davis Pop Hits Collection CD (2003)
Street Cafe
$14.69
Recorded between 1962 & 1967. Includes liner notes by Steve Kolanjian.
Skeeter Davis has had two phases of her career: the first as part of the duo, the Davis Sisters, with Betty Jack Davis (they weren't really sisters, by the way) in the pre-rock & roll era, and the second as a solo Nashville country crossover artist in the 1960s. The Davis Sisters recorded one bona fide classic, "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know," which was a huge hit in 1953, and Skeeter mirrored it with a classic of her own in 1963, the weepy and resigned "The End of the World," which features a perfectly measured vocal from Davis, which manages to overcome the pathos inherent in the lyrics. This collection of solo sides reveals the formula Davis followed pretty clearly, merging plaintive country material with injections of big pop hooks, all sweetened with Nashville strings. Try to pick up a compilation that features a selection ...

Collectables Pure Country is a good budget-priced, ten-track collection containing Lynn Anderson's original hit recordings on Columbia including "Rose Garden," "Cry," and "Top of the World." Please note that this edition includes the exact same track listing as the 1998 Sony release also titled Pure Country. ~ Al Campbell
Sony Special Products' Pure Country is an effective sampler of Lynn Anderson's country-pop work for Columbia Records in the '70s. In fact, it works ...
