Forbidden Broadway, Vols. 1-4
: :The legendary off-Broadway revue Forbidden Broadway collects 15 years of its hilarious parodies (called 'unoriginal cast recordings') into this four-CD box. No institution is safe from this astonishingly talented (and believable!) troupe of mimics led by Gerard Alessandrini, as they poke fun at the biggest shows and the biggest stars. Some examples: Patti LuPone's 'I Get a Kick Out of You' becomes the self-adulating 'I Get a Kick Out of Me' ('Some snort cocaine when they're low / I need no sniff 'cause I think, 'What's the diff? / I'm already terrific to ...

Trilogy
: :At age 64, Sinatra recorded this three-LP (now two-CD) epic, a grandiloquent statement which attempted to sum up his career, as well as pay tribute to his status as America's greatest living singer. The result is at turns sublime, awful, and just plain bizarre; 'Reflections on the Future in Three Tenses,' Gordon Jenkins's bombastic suite that covers the last third of the set, almost gets over on camp value alone. Covers of such contemporary hits as Billy Joel's 'Just the Way You Are' and Neil Diamond's 'Song Sung Blue' don't really ...

A Jazz Romance - A Night In With Verve
: :Reaching deep into its cavernous vaults, Verve has extracted a rich bountiful of moody and sentimental jazz, perfect for those long, expectant evenings or those equally long, rain-filled days. Nicely packaged with nostalgic, sepia-toned photographs on both the box and each individual CD, A Jazz Romance contains nearly 60 songs guaranteed to set a distinctly low- keyed mood, equal parts sultry and sad. The vast majority of the material is from bygone days of the '40s and '50s, with the more recent entries retaining that flavor. The four discs are entitled ...

Best Of Columbia Years 1943-52 [4-CD SET]
: :This four-disc, 97-track collection compiles the highlights of the first major period of Frank Sinatra's solo career, beginning with 1943's 'Close To You,' and ending with 1952's 'Why Try to Change Me Now.' Sinatra was the preeminent singing idol of American teenagers (the female ones, at least) during this period, thanks to the dreamily smooth crooning style he exhibits here on 'People Will Say We're in Love,' 'I Should Care,' 'Embraceable You,' and dozens of others. Sometimes the still-callow singer isn't up to the material ('Ol' Man River'), sometimes the material ...
