Creedence Clearwater Revival
: :Popular but not hip, basic but not shallow, rooted but not retro, Creedence Clearwater Revival distinguished themselves in the late 1960s and early 1970s through these contradictions. This six-disc set is the definitive Creedence collection, offering superbly remastered versions of all of their studio and live albums and adding a disc's worth of pre-Creedence material. The ultimate blue-collar rock band, John Fogerty and CCR found success by wholly giving in to their fascination with the American South (despite hailing from Northern California) and exploring the turf that connected R&B and country--the ...

Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002
: :This is the first attempt to consolidate all of Sir Elton's hit singles, from three labels, in one collection. It once would've required at least four CDs to own the best stuff here. Many think the legendary performer was at his best in the early to mid-'70s, and the incredible string of singles that ran from 1970's 'Your Song' through 1977's 'Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word' remains mighty impressive. But in retrospect, as they're presented here, '80s hits like 'I'm Still Standing' and 'Sad Songs' add much to an ...

The Soul of Rock and Roll
:Album Description:Here is, bar none, the most all-inclusive anthology ever assembled to honor the greatest singer ever considered to be a 'Rock and Roll artist.' But Roy Kelton Orbison was so much more: behind his ever-present sunglasses and beneath his shock of raven-black hair, clad in black, he was rock's Mystery Man, the possessor of the most glorious voice ever to soar on such signature songs as 'Only The Lonely,' 'In Dreams,' 'Running Scared,' 'Crying' and 'Oh, Pretty Woman,' to cite a mere handful of his Top Ten hits. As Orbison's ...

The Phantom of the Opera (Original 1986 London Cast)
: essential recording:What's left to be said about Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera a decade after its premiere? That it's maddeningly ubiquitous? A stitch-up of various themes shoplifted from the Italian operatic repertoire? A critic-proof crowd pleaser that's probably being staged somewhere in the world as you read this? A megahit that will likely outlive Titanic in the pop-culture pantheon, Phantom has largely redefined--for better or worse--the manner in which modern musicals are conceived, staged, and marketed. Its influence has reached far beyond the traditional confines ...

The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991
: :Bob Dylan has always been incredibly prolific, only releasing a fraction of what he records. Such a policy has made him a prime target for bootleggers over the years, finally prompting this sanctioned 1991 triple-disc dive into the Dylan vaults. It consists of rare tracks, unreleased outtakes, early versions of classics ('Times They Are a-Changin',' 'Like a Rolling Stone,' 'I Shall Be Released'), and alternate versions that sometimes cut the originals ('Idiot Wind'). A measure of Dylan's depth is his list of discarded songs ('She's Your Lover Now,' 'Blind Willie McTell,' ...

Live: 1975-85 (3CD)
: :To say that Springsteen's live shows with the E Street Band were legendary is the height of understatement. On a good night, the set might extend to three and four hours of exhilarating, pulse-pounding rock & roll. How best to capture that on CD? Or was it possible at all? As it turns out, Live 1975-1985 comes as close to the experience as possible. Culling material from various tours and settings ranging from small rooms to stadiums, the three-CD set emphatically displays Springsteen's charisma as a bandleader and storyteller and makes ...

We offer as evidence this splendidly remastered 30th-anniversary edition of his 1970 multidisc solo epic. If the mini-boxed set's booklet and twin inner CD sleeves won't convince you (the album's familiar cover is colorized and altered to ...

:Album Description:6CD/6DVD Boxed set celebrating the 40th anniversary of this legendary band: All their Jim Morrison-Era studio albums reissued in deluxe 2-disc editions with rare & previously unreleased bonus material, 5.1 mixes, bonus video content, and more! :For years, the recording industry has asked fans to purchase the same music from the 1960s and '70s over and over again, via remasterings, repackagings, and, of course, reformattings. The Doors' box Perception (get it?), cleverly packaged as... a door, does hold some astonishing music, but the thing itself is a weird hybrid beast ...
