Van Morrison Tupelo Honey CD (1971) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Remastered & Expanded

Otoko No Iji/Mashira No Hibiki album

$11.49

Part of Van Morrison's living-in-the-country-and-taking-life-easy series of early-1970s albums, TUPELO HONEY is full of the organic mix of soul, folk, blues, and rock that was his signature sound at the time. The freewheeling "Wild Night" bursts at the seams with the pure joy of living, carried along by R&B horns and Morrison's own soulful invocations. "Old Old Woodstock" and the title track are songs of devotion to home and hearth, indicative of the mood prevailing at the time, as the acid-rock excesses of the '60s gave way to a more down-home sound ŕ la the Band, CSNY, et al. Nevertheless, even though he spent some time with his feet up in front of the fireplace, Morrison was always too much of a soul man at heart to remain low-key for long, as evidenced by the up-tempo closing tune, "Moonshine Whiskey." Tupelo Honey is typical of Van Morrison's early-'70s work in both sound and structure; after dispensing with the requisite hit -- here, the buoyant, R&B-inflected "Wild Night" -- he truly gets down to business, settling into a luminously pastoral drift typified by the nostalgic "Old Old Woodstock." At the heart of the record are a pair of stunning love songs, "You're My Woman" and the hymn-like title cut, one of Morrison's most enduring and transcendent compositions. [As part of a massive remastering and reissue campaign, virtually every major Morrison title (and many minor ones) were reissued, like Tupelo Honey, with a pair of bonus cuts. These include a much longer alternative take of "Wild Night" (where you get a lot more Ronnie Montrose guitar and a popping, ...

David Bowie ChangesBowie CD (1990)

Otoko No Iji/Mashira No Hibiki CD music

$11.65

Long before Madonna started changing hairstyles between albums, David Bowie set the standard (and continues to do so) for chameleonic music styles that go beyond mere hair dye. CHANGESBOWIE is the perfect road map that allows the listener to hear the different pitstops Bowie made into the mid-'80s. Throughout the '70s, Bowie's personas included space alien ("Ziggy Stardust," "Suffragette City"), theatrical raconteur ("Rebel, Rebel"), blue-eyed soulster ("Young Americans") and Thin White Duke ("Golden Years"). After spending time in Berlin under self-imposed exile ("Heroes"), ...

Thorne Grandma's Goodbye CD (2007)

Otoko No Iji/Mashira No Hibiki CD music

$8.39
Grandma's Goodbye is the lead track from Thorne's 'The Contessa's Party', and probably the most popular. The chorus is based on an old Yorkshire circular folk rhyme that, as a three-year-old, Thorne learned from his grandmother in Rotherham: 'To go to work, to make some money, to buy some bread, to make us strong, to go to work.

' The rest of the song is about the love of his grandparents for each other, against the backdrop of a society dependent on heavy industry (in this case, steel). Full lyrics at the bottom of this page.

The original, nine minutes long, embodies Thorne's ideal of provoking dancing while keeping music moving so that you can also sit and listen to it. That means there's an awful lot of material available. Seemed the right thing to do was to make the most of it and delver a megamix: the opening two tracks, which flow together, last nearly 17 minutes.

Thorne holds the world record for a megamix, over 24 minutes for the Communards' huge hit 'Don't Leave Me This Way', in 1986. That was a huge effort, he recalls, making him feel tired and want to go to bed when he heard it. Megamixes are rare because of this effort - double the length and you far more than double the work involved. Turned out quite nicely, though, after a couple of weeks, and almost made the 'Billboard' club charts, which would have been rather good for an indie release.

As before, in the 'Dancing With B' release, star New York remixer Norty Cotto also contributes three cuts, slightly faster and stylistically completely different.

The lyrics recall granddad's ...
