Gia album
 $13.49   
Numerous hit-oriented collections have focused on various styles of '70s music from disco to classic rock, but Hard to Find 45's on CD, Vol. 8 is devoted to that decade's commercial pop in the broadest sense. Where else could you find Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting," Pilot's "Magic," and Hurricane Smith's "Oh, Babe, What Would You Say?" on one disc? A few songs are genuinely rare on CD, such as Boney M.'s "Rivers of Babylon" and Prelude's a cappella rendition of "After the Gold Rush." The remastering is excellent as usual for this label, with every track presented in true stereo and in the original single version. Considering how disposable this music is supposed to be (according to the conventional wisdom), it holds up very well 30 years later. ~ Greg Adams
Here are 20 really hard-to-find high charting hits. 17 of these songs made the Top 20, and all are digitally remastered in true stereo. Features Exile's "Kiss You All Over," Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting," Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.'s "You Don't

| | Art Garfunkel Everything Waits To Be Noticed CD (2002)
Gia CD music
$22.09 
Making his technical debut as a songwriter (technical in that his prose poems serve as a lyric source on several tracks), Art Garfunkel takes top billing in what actually qualifies as a collaboration with two other singer/songwriters, Nashville's Buddy Mondlock and L.A.-based Maia Sharp; producer/songwriter Billy Mann plays an essential creative role as well. For all the diverse input, this remains a Garfunkel project at heart. His airy, delicate singing, remarkably identical in quality to his earliest recordings some 40 years earlier, provides the essential textural reference; Mondlock's vocals uncannily replicate Garfunkel's from the opening moments of "Bounce" and elsewhere throughout the album. Only two of these songs were written by outsiders, and these -- the self-consciously buoyant "Young and Free" and uncomfortably precious "What I Love About Rain" -- don't match the rest in either musical or lyrical accomplishment. Two in particular create near-magical spells, and both are draw from Garfunkel's writing: "The Thread," a wistful chronicle of love lost amidst references to romantic landmarks in New York, and "Perfect Moment," an account of strangers exchanging glances in a theater lobby and achieving, in that timeless second, all the perfection and connection two people might expect. This performance, musically reminiscent of the Simon & Garfunkel classic "For Emily," is exquisitely crafted and impeccably performed -- a high point not only here, but in all of Garfunkel's catalog. ~ Robert L. Doerschuk

| | Essential Donovan CD (2004) Remastered
Gia music CDs
$7.59
Containing an economical sampling of the music from Sony's TROUBADOUR box set (and a track list that is remarkably similar to DONOVAN'S GREATEST HITS), THE ESSENTIAL DONOVAN is highly recommended for the casual Donovan fan. His egregious tag as "the British Bob Dylan" and his sometimes-silly hippie vibe notwithstanding, Donovan wrote some of the catchiest singles of the late 1960s, and this disc brings these together in one succinct, chronologically sequenced package.
The collection kicks off with the singer/songwriter's earliest recordings for the Hickory label with the folkie, guy-and-his-guitar charm of "Catch the Wind" and "Colors." When Donovan signed to Epic in 1966, however, he began the string of singles for which he is best known and that epitomized the strange yet breezy pop of the times. This includes "Sunshine Superman," "Mellow Yellow," "Epistle to Dippy," and "There Is a Mountain," each holding up as a delectable pop gem. The gentle "Jennifer Juniper" and the raucous "Barabajagal" (recorded with the Jeff Beck Group) keep the dynamics shifting, and round out this excellent singles set.
Includes liner notes by Jaan Uhelszki.

| | Tito Puente, Jr Here's To You/Para Ti CD (2003)
Gia songs
$13.15
Tito Puente Jr. Releases 'Here's to you' a tribute to Tito Puente, Sr. Tito Puente Jr., a consummate artist, performer and one of the extraordinary triple threats in the Latin music industry who sings, plays and composes, has just independently released a new track called "Here's To You" . The song, featuring English and Spanish versions, is dedicated to his late father, the legendary Tito Puente. As a performer, Puente Jr. has continuously pushed the envelope of Latin music, integrating the well-recognized musical flavors of pop, Latin jazz and dance with the influences of classic mambo, cha cha cha and merengue. He has redefined an eclectic mix of several styles, which embrace every generation and help elevate his high-energy, dance-laced performances to new heights. Reviews of the song are positive. Billboard Magazine's June 30, 2001 issue features a review from Chuck Taylor that says, "Musically, the track complements the sentiment which certainly can be applied to anyone's loss of a loved-one with the gentle strumming of a Spanish guitar over a breezy mid-tempo Latin beat." The Spanish word "puente" literally translates into "bridge" in English and Puente, Jr. stands at the forefront of a musical genre that bridges the future of Latin music with the past.
