| | Tears For Fears Gold CD Tears For Fears Discography of CDs
The first compilation to follow Tears for Fears from its 1980s heyday to its 21st-century comeback, the two-disc GOLD set deftly charts the British band's career course. While the first disc focuses on Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith's hit-making early years, including melancholy classics ("Mad World" and "Pale Shelter") and chart-topping anthems ("Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"), the second disc compiles Tears for Fears' oft- maligned '90s material--when the act was essentially a solo outlet for Orzabal--before touching down on the ornate pop of Orzabal and Smith's reunion album ('04's EVERYBODY LOVES A HAPPY ENDING). Capped off with the previously unreleased "Floating Down the River (Once Again)" and a live rendition of "Mad World," this anthology is an excellent Tears for Fears overview, and is ideal for those wanting to explore beyond the single-disc SHOUT collection.

Purchase Gold CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Doors Live In Detroit (Cobo Hall, 05/08/1970) CDs (2001)
Gold album
 $31.29  
Detroit's Cobo Hall on May 8, 1970, is the setting for Live in Detroit, the first complete concert performance on the Doors' own Bright Midnight label. This is the Doors the way they deserve to be remembered -- tight and overtly bluesy. However, that oversimplification unfairly discounts the multiple sonic detours made along the way. Strange but true, this is the very first complete concert recording by the Doors to be offered for mass consumption -- allowing for some poetic justice. Live in Detroit is an initial step in removing the rumor and innuendo regarding Jim Morrison's loss of ability to perform on stage -- with the threat of an impending legal trial. No, this isn't the same trippy, hippy, psychedelic band that raised eyebrows by singing "higher" on The Ed Sullivan Show. Similarly, the ...
| | Diamond Head Am I Evil?: The Anthology CDs (1987) (Import) United Kingdom
Gold CD music
$18.99
New Wave of British Heavy Metal heavyweights (and mainstream metal failures) Diamond Head were long overdue for a best-of anthology, and chances are Sanctuary's two-disc Am I Evil?: Anthology, although not exactly perfect, is about as good as anyone could have hoped for. Except the unusually poppy single "Sweet and Innocent," all of Diamond Head's first and finest, nameless album (commonly referred to as Lightning to the Nations) and its essential B-sides ("Shoot Out the Lights," "Play It Loud," etc.) are paraded before the court here -- to the continued wonderment of all who may hear them. And for all of their inherent faults, the far less satisfying songs chosen from sophomore disaster Borrowed Time ("In the Heat of the Night," the title track, etc.) ...

| | Daddy a Go-Go Cool Songs For Cool Kids CD (1999)
Gold CD music
$9.95
The title of Daddy a Go-Go's debut Cool Songs for Cool Kids tells most of the story behind the album, though it leaves out the key ingredient of its appeal: the cool dads that comprise Daddy a Go-Go. Walt Brewer and John Boydston mix elements of surf, rockabilly, bubblegum, and classic rock and playful themes into 15 fun songs for kids and parents. Rough, jangly covers of the theme songs to Scooby Doo and Speed Racer, surfy instrumentals like "The Thang From Planet Twang," and witty originals like "Dads in the Sky" and "Daddy's Diaper Blues" reflect the different sides of Daddy a Go-Go's fun, unique style. Rightfully named a Parent's Choice award winner, Cool Songs for Cool Kids is a great introduction to Daddy a Go-Go's cool sound. ~ Heather Phares
Now about "Cool Songs for Cool Kids" the debut release by Daddy A Go-Go, named as one of the Top 10 Best Kids releases of 1999 by Amazon , even though it was officially released in the Fall of 1998. Some of the reviews on this CD:"A hip family classic. Exuberant...way to go, Daddy A Go Go." -- FamilyFun Magazine, October 1999"...Daddy A Go Go...rescues those of us suspended in the purgatory between a big purple dinosaur, too many Raffi tunes, and the Backstreet Boys." -- Family Times, August 1999"Daddy a Go Go does a family good...fills the gap for hip parents and kids who have a hankering for something that is cooler and more substantive than Barney and edgier than Raffi...Jubiliant jangle-pop...these Atlanta Pops can rock." -- Amazon "It's bopping along traveling music...catchy...rocking instrumentals too. These two musician dads give this CD a lively guitar and drum-driven, early 60's go-go beat." -- The Los Angeles Times, May 13th, 1999Nashville Parent, November 1999"...a must have for your child's collection...will have your feet moving from the moment you press play." --Nashville Parent, November 1999"...so Beatles-influenced and surf-twangy that parents might dig it more than the young'uns." -- The Tulsa World, Feburary ...
