Genesis Archive, Vol. 1: 1967-1975
: :The Who needed two rock operas to reach their apex, but Genesis climaxed first time out with The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. On the live version which takes up half of this four-CD box, the Peter Gabriel-fronted incarnation goes out with a bang, dressing up its art rock in black leather and brass knuckles. Disc 3's live renditions of 'Supper's Ready' and 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight' are nearly as powerful, while Disc 4's demos from the embryonic late-'60s lineup offer a pleasing glimpse into ...

Legacy
: :Rick Nelson's lengthy career spanned 30 years, with records on the charts from the late '50s to the early '80s, yet most remember him only as 'Little Ricky.' This comprehensive, 100-song retrospective rectifies that, giving full scope to his remarkable and surprisingly robust career. Additionally, the photo-heavy booklet gives insight into the era when rock & roll, television, and culture first merged. Ricky Nelson was the first teen idol who grew up on television. His parents' Ozzie and Harriet Show afforded him the opportunity to sing, ...

Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential 70's Masters
: :Elvis Presley's music in the 1970s is often dismissed as the bombastic, half-hearted hack work of an overweight, pill-addicted, badly dressed has-been. In the liner notes to this five-CD set, Dave Marsh argues that Presley, in fact, created a more impressive body of work in the '70s than almost any other pop act. And the music on this massive anthology backs Marsh up. Stripping away all the garish live recordings and album filler, the package concentrates on a core of 120 songs--the A- and B-sides of ...

Selected Works: 1972-1999
: :It's tough to forecast which bands are built for the long run. The Eagles emerged as part of a genre (country rock) that proved to be a passing fancy. And with two talented frontmen sharing the spotlight, how could artistic differences be fended off for long? But, of course, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and the boys had a juggernaut on their hands, generating a dozen top 10 hits in their initial eight-year spurt. Selected Works: 1972-1999 gathers all the highlights from the group in all of ...

The Doors Box Set
: :\N :Unlike many a box-set retrospective, this 1997 four-CD collection is clearly tailored for Doors aficionados rather than those curious but not overly familiar with the legendary '60s band's career and oeuvre. The first three discs are filled with previously unreleased live tracks and other rarities, such as the band's early demos, which found them slowly building a foundation stemming from each member's clear strengths and influences: Manzarek's classical background, Densmore's jazz, Krieger's rock, and Morrison's blues. Disc 4 features 'band favorites' rather than hits, ...
