Hot Rocks 1964-1971 [DSD Remastered]

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Rolling Stones

Release Date August 27, 2002
This is a must own double CD of The Stones early work and is as timeless as any album they have ever released. I own the album version of this gem but no longer have the capability to play it so...to replace it I bought this DSD remastered set and the sound quality is excellent. However, this is not an SACD if that is what you are expecting!! For those who want a quality sound and to hear songs from their beginning up until 1971, this is an excellent choice...

1962-1966 (The Red Album)

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 05, 1993
If you've spent any time burning your own audio CDs (i.e. "Redbook" CDs as they are known in optical media world), then you probably quickly figured out that all 26 tracks will easily fit on one standard CD-R (or, if you know your blank CDs, that'll be a Taiyo Yuden!).

So, why are we "given" two CDs? Easy? So the record company can charge $23 instead of $13.

Of course, the label's reason (read: pandering excuse) is that they are being "faithful to the original release." Since when are COMPILATIONS considered to be "original releases"?? Even classic packages such as Marley's "Legend" merely cherry pick the best (and best-selling) songs from his albums--just as every other "Greatest Hits" or "Best of" disc does.

Help! [UK]

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 17, 1990
The music on this Classic Rock CD represents the latter end of The Beatles' "early period" (of their three musical eras). It's one of the better albums they ever produced.

This music is mostly of the happy sort, upbeat, and easy to listen to. But don't let that fool you into thinking that these compositions are not intricate and innovative as well. These songs broke a LOT of new ground when they hit AM radio at the time of their initial release.

I acquired this album (33 1/3 LP) when it first emerged in the record stores and always maintained a copy in the latest technology available... LP, 8-track (yikes!), cassette, and now CD. It never seemed to loose appeal for me even as newer [in retrospect] Classic Rock tunes evolved throughout ... Read More:

that will tell you how great this album is. I first bought the album in 1971 and played it till it was no longer payable.
As much as you hear the short bursts on the television, it gives you an indication of how great this music is. Rock on and widen your scope for THE WHO.

Dark Side of the Moon 30th Anniversary Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date March 25, 2003
I am an audio engineer and musician by trade. I like Floyd but amd not a huge fan and this is my first album of theirs. For starters, the CD layer sounds like it's at least a 4th generation 1/4" copy duped at too high of a level. Luckily, this master was spared the horrific loudness was exploitation so the sound is fairly open. But the over-cooked source tape causes the loud passages to get a bit mushy and dull.

Now for the SACD. They obviously went through great efforts to try and recreate the original mix as well as possible. The natural dynamics of the recording really shine and there's good usage of all the channels without being overtly weird with placement. The only real problem I can hear is the vocals are a bit overly bright, to the point ... Read More:

With the Beatles

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
This is a completely subjective review - not an in-depth analysis:

So I've had this playing in my car CD player for some time now, and I decided today that I'd sit down and assess the album in my iTunes - rank each song, and whatnot. It seems that a whopping 9 of the 14 songs I have felt worthy of receiving 5 stars - and I only give songs 5 stars if I feel they are worthy of repeat listening.
I regrettably do not have 'Beatles for Sale' as part of the catalogue of theirs in my iTunes, but looking at the other albums it seems as if I've rated more songs with 5 stars on this album than any other Beatles album with the exception of 'Abbey Road'. This does not mean that I think 'With the Beatles' is one of their artistic best, but it does give an indication ... Read More:

This is and carries a different and more intense understanding of a young life seen through his eyes suffering from schizophrennia. Maybe its my age and life experience but sounds great with a life lesson.
