 Super!
Excellent compilation. The 50s are well represented here! I just did not understand why 3 cds if all the songs could easely fit in 2.

read the fine print
These are good songs, however, the cover states "New stereo recordings by the original artists." Some of these "new" recordings date back to 1977! If you want the ORIGINAL versions, you will be disappointed. The sound quality is good, and these songs are listenable, even if not as originally heard on the radio when they first came out.

| | Wayne Shorter Adam's Apple CD (1966) Bonus Track; Remastered
50'S Rock N' Roll songs
$8.15 
Recorded on February 3 & 24, 1966. Includes liner notes by Don Heckman and Michael Cuscuna.
For ADAM'S APPLE Wayne Shorter returned to the simple quartet format for the last time in his solo career. This date from 1966 shows the saxophonist firmly between his modal style of the early '60s and his more experimental avant-garde period that was to come with albums like SCHIZOPHRENIA and SUPER NOVA. The effect of Shorter's membership in Miles Davis' legendary group is evident, as his improvisations here are more adventurous and his rhythmic drive more pointed and angular than previous efforts. Above all, this session gives us one last look at Shorter at his most unveiled.
The soulful opening title track is a direct precursor to the jazz-rock style that would dominate the jazz world in the late '60s and '70s. A more traditional feel is incorporated for the dark "502 Blues (Drinkin' and Drivin')," a beautiful showcase for Shorter's sensitive side. The bossa nova "El Gaucho" is a highlight and one the saxophonist's most overlooked compositions. Of special note, the classic "Footprints" is presented here for the first time, several months before it was recorded by the Davis group. The delicate ballad "Teru," the bouncing "Chief Crazy Horse" and the bonus swinger "The Collector" complete this must-have session.
One often returns to classic recordings with mixed feelings. On one hand, there's the anticipation of hearing great music, and on the other, trepidation that the recording has failed to hold up over time. By 1966 Wayne Shorter had entered one of his most creative periods, both as a solo artist and as a member of Miles Davis' second classic quintet. Besides his skills as a saxophonist, ...
| | Lost Cherrees In The Very Beginning CD (2006) (Import) United Kingdom
50'S Rock N' Roll album
$23.65
It took forever, but finally the Lost Cherees are getting their due, not only from the anarcho-punk community that has always held them close to its heart, but from the wider world as well. The revitalized band's activities naturally play a part in the resurgence, but still it's an unexpected thrill to find more-or-less the original band's entire output reissued across a two-CD set, sensibly divided between the familiar LP and single material (disc one), and a mass of demos and live recordings that may not require too many repeated listens, but are great to have, regardless. Always one of the ...
| | Crushed Butler Uncrushed CD (1998) (Import) Remastered; Digipak; United Kingdom
50'S Rock N' Roll CD music
$17.09
Hindsight is a beautiful and painful commodity, as this compilation should make clear enough. Uncrushed captures three young, hungry Londoners whose raw sound mesmerized their peers -- and blew away the day's biggest names -- yet failed to pry open those corporate portals. Yes, Crushed Butler fell short, because 1969's audiences didn't want anyone writing off their hippie dreams just yet. And as drummer Darryl Read once noted, nobody felt compelled to smash their instruments when the music spoke so ferociously for itself. Read's clattering snare on "It's My Life" is the perfect counterpoint for its up-the-system lyrics ("Workin' like a slave, workin' for you/Doin' somethin' I don't wanna do"). Pop stars or not, don't expect these guys to pump your gas! "My Son's Alive"'s explosive gallop is one of the missing links to thrash today, while "Love Fighter"'s grinding drone shows Crushed Butler realized intensity didn't come from tempo. Jesse Hector's guttural drawl makes the lyrics hard to decipher, but his shuddering guitar provides enough of a reference point. In fact, the band achieved its brightest moments amid trying circumstances -- as a session from winter 1970 proves. "Factory Grime" is the track to beat, banged out in one mind-melting take. However, the band only got to do it after spending time on "Love Is All Around Me," a clichéd boogie popper written by the session's producer, Roger Ferris. Still, Read's nagging cowbell and Hector's insistent guitar make an extraordinary moment out of an ordinary song. The band tried again as Tiger in February 1971 with "High School Drop Out," which is another average song livened up by Alan Butler's ...
