World Party first emerged in the mid-'80s after Karl Wallinger's departure from the Waterboys, and while it initially seemed like a side project, it would quickly take on a healthy life of its own, scoring hits that resonated just as much as those of Wallinger's former band. BEST IN SHOW looks back at some of World Party's most memorable moments, documenting the way he adapted his Beatles fixation to a more contemporary approach without sacrificing an ounce of melodic inspiration. From the apocalyptic "Ship of Fools" to the propulsive "Way Down Now," BEST IN SHOW hits all of World Party's high points.
World Party: Karl Wallinger.
Additional personnel: Jeff Trott (slide guitar); Anthony Thistlethwaite (saxophone); Guy Chambers (synthesizer); Chris Whitten (drums); Roy Morgan (tambourine).

Best In Show album
 $12.09   
The discographies of both pop-rocker Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs's former band the Bangles are heavily steeped in 1960s sunshine pop, so it's little surprise that the two would team up for an album of covers devoted to their favorite decade. UNDER THE COVERS VOL. 1 finds Sweet and Hoffs performing songs by the Beatles, Dylan, the Beach Boys, the Velvet Underground, the Zombies, and others, throwing in a few tasty obscurities (the wonderful "I See the Rain" by the Marmalade, for example) and a pair ...
| | Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?: The Best Of The Replacements CD (2006)
Best In Show CD music
$12.49 
The first career-spanning Replacements retrospective, this 2006 collection takes listeners on a whirlwind tour of the beloved Minneapolis band's entire catalogue. Led by singer-songwriter/guitarist Paul Westerberg, the proudly shambolic group tore through the 1980s with rowdy rock rave-ups (the punky "Kids Don't Follow," the defiant "Bastards of Young"), but always tempered their finest punk moments with surprisingly tender pop tunes. ("Within Your Reach," possibly the most beautiful lo-fi tune ever penned, and the gorgeously melancholy "Here Comes a Regular," to name just two, are both included here.)
Although the ensemble never achieved commercial success, the Mats crafted a sizable number of pop-perfect classics, including the chiming "I Will Dare," the propulsive "Alex Chilton," and the urgent "Can't Hardly Wait," all of which are featured here. While 1997's two-CD ALL FOR NOTHING/NOTHING FOR ALL provides a more comprehensive look at the Replacements' major-label days, this ...

| | Jade Day Of Waking CD (2007)
Best In Show music CDs
$16.45
Throwing off the trappings of youth, Jade steps forward with a collection of 10 new songs bent on breaking boyish idealism. Moving melodies and smart song-craft expose Jade's latest work to be that rare combination of innovation and musical maturity. Returning to the virtues of acoustic music, "Of Waking..." emphasizes the direct relationship between voice and guitar. Jade's greatest asset, his distinctive dynamic tenor, is out front and center on this lighter, more concise album. Produced and engineered by Stephen Orsak (Suzanna Choffel), the album is both sparse and ornate at times, utilizing folk and chamber instruments such as mandolin, glockenspiel, double bass, and strings to create a timeless sound. Thematically, Jade ...

| | Morning Glory Two Suns Worth CD (1968) (Import) United Kingdom
Best In Show album
$15.89
The popularity of California rock bands with both female and male vocals was simply immense in the wake of the Mamas & the Papas and Jefferson Airplane. Morning Glory pay significant tribute to both bands on their obscure and only LP, though you can certainly hear some Byrds in some of the guitar licks, as well as traces of Bay Area psychedelic groups like Moby Grape in some of the arrangements. It's well-sung (with the sole woman in the group, Gini Graybeal, handling most of the lead vocals) and tightly played, with Abe "Voco" Kesh, most famous for his work with Blue Cheer, handling the production. The problems are a little predictable for bands heavily influenced by California heavyweight groups of the era, but they're present nonetheless: a lack of top-flight songwriting in particular, and an absence of overwhelming personality in general. As the brief blurb on the back of the 2007 CD reissue on Fallout aptly notes, it's heavier than the Mamas & the Papas, though their influences can certainly be heard in both the harmonies and the earnest romanticism of songs like "Need Someone" and (with its give-take male-female banter) "Hey Little Girl." At the same time, it's not as far-out as the Airplane at their most psychedelic, though a tune like "Stone Good Day" is almost drenched with the utopian California hippie spirit. If you just love the surface characteristics of the California pop-psych sound, non-sunshine pop division, they're here in abundance: the bright male-female harmonies, the squiggly distorted guitar, the slightly off-kilter questing philosophical lyrics, the occasional son-of-Roger McGuinn electric 12-string guitar, and the occasional surprise (the harpsichord in "I See a Light" being the most pleasing of those). There's nothing as compelling as this style can be at its best, however, leaving you with the feeling this outfit would have been best heard as a warm-up act ...
