Another great example of what Rhino does so well, Anthology brings together no less than 27 of Tommy James and the Shondells' nuggets on one disc. Along with good liner notes from Parke Puterbaugh, who interviewed James extensively (James himself contributes a slew of fun and informative anecdotes about many of the songs) and the usual skilled remastering job, it makes for one heck of a collection. James himself sums up his own appeal best of all: "We were really having fun, and you can hear it in the grooves." "Hanky Panky" understandably kicks things off, but the collection really doesn't take off until the just-plain-irresistible "I Think We're Alone Now," notably (and some would argue memorably) covered by Tiffany in the late '80s. The original is barely two minutes long, but packs in everything from a killer opening bassline and dramatic pauses to a totally killer chorus, James and company transforming Ritchie Cordell's song into a glistening gem. The fact that so many of his hits were beneficiaries of later remakes -- "Mony Mony" by Billy Idol, "Crimson and Clover" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, "Draggin' the Line" by R.E.M. -- is even better testimony to their appeal, and hearing the originals all in place confirms why they were smashes. If a number of selections are paler shadows of some of these greats, the arrangements are rarely less than anything but pure pop fun -- the almost delirious addition of swirling strings, flutes, and even harp to many songs gives them even more cheery flair. The fact that they were able to make woozy, psych-influenced delights like "Crimson and Clover" and still maintain their status as major hit artists on the charts is testament enough to their appeal. ~ Ned Raggett

Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars All the hits
The best CD around. Contains all his hits on one CD. There are some songs that are not worthy of being here. But to put up with a few sub par songs to gain some you can not find elsewhere is an advantage. (Thats why there is a skip button). Again, the best all around collection you will find.

This package contains the original MACHINE HEAD plus quadrophonic mixes of 2 songs on one disc, MACHINE HEAD remixed by Roger Glover in 1998, and a 28 page booklet. A probable contender for one of hard rock's "all-time most influential albums," Deep Purple's MACHINE HEAD has all the markings of a heavy classic. It was here that the band's combination of amped-up blues, progressive instrumental prowess, screaming guitars, and thunderous rhythms was crystallized for the ages, helping to lay the foundation for hard rock and heavy metal throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s. The lone presence of "Smoke on the Water" immediately elevates the album to essential status. The song became a long-running radio staple, ...

CD $18.99
Moreh Darryl and The Voices of Mashiach have been singing together for 2 years. They are the praise and worship team at Mashiach Temple in Louisville, Kentucky where Moreh Darryl Turpin is the Shepherd. This ministry started in late October 2005 in a small kitchen as a bible study. Moreh had a vision that YAH was soon going to breathe the spirit of life into the valley of dry bones of Israel, creating the need for a place of healing for the lost sheep of Israel. This healing would occur in a refuge through the hearing of the word of YAH and through worship in spirit and in truth. Israel would need to heal in order to carry out the responsibility of what YAH has called us to do which is to be a light to all nations ushering them into the truth of YAH's Holy Covenant. We believe in the Holy writings of the bible from Genesis to Revelations. We believe that all of this word is truth. We believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Yahushua, our Messiah.
