Cher - Believe - CD
Still her greatest work to date.
01 Believe
02 The Power
03 Runaway
04 All or Nothing
05 Strong Enough
06 Dov'é l'Amore
07 Takin' Back My Heart
08 Taxi Taxi
09 Love Is the Groove
10 We All Sleep Alone
While the song Believe is well known many of the other songs on this CD show the depth Cher.
Dov'é l'Amore has a spanish influence with great acoustic guitar.
Yes this CD is distictively Cher but at her best.

I posted this great three CD set on 7/25/2005 on this forum the day I got it.
The JACKIE GLEASON Orchestra, For Lovers Only, Easy Listening (JAZZ), LP/CD
http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/575675/ShowPost.aspx
Just look down a few posts on that page.
So yes you can find it.
And no, Jackie Gleason does not sing.
Greg
Alan, is the jackie Gleason
record still in print? Does Jackie sing on it, or is it just a name
thing?
Do you promise it works, before I go scour all the eBays and used record bins of the world?!
Is that Alice Cramden in the picture? (Audrey Meadows)
Yahoo.. it's Saturday night!!
I've seen those at Amazon.com. I'd say get the CDs so you don't have to get up and flip the record.

Audio CD (July 14, 1998)
01. Cruel Summer
02. Donnie
03. Whenever You're Near Me
04. Everytime It Rains
05. Adventures In Paradise
06. Don't Go Away
07. Cecilia
08. He Decides
09. Always Have, Always Will

Official website
Ace Of Base is something as uncomplicated as a pop band, that doesnt
try to be, appears to be anything else than that. They want to make
their listeners feel good when hearing their music. They dont have any
heavy messages, even if the songs obviously have become better crafted
and substantial over the years. Simplicity isnt easy. The fact that
Ace of Base has sold over 30 million albums and 15 million singles
proves that they know what theyre doing.
Ace Of Base is one of the worlds biggest bands, one of those rare
bands whose name is a well-known brand wherever in the world you go.
Their fans, so called Acers, also show a passionate interest in the
band. Every year, some of them flew in to Gothenburg from all over the
world to get together, share views and opinions on the band, check out
the studios where the band has recorded and walk the streets where Ace
Of Base grew up.
Greg's Picks: Cruel Summer, Tokyo Girl
Both super hits with a strong rhythm and dance beat that is hard to forget.
Other Ace-Of-Base CD's worth a spin: "The Bridge" and "The Sign".

Funny thing is the way the song is done makes a big difference.
Zappa was crude to the point we knew it.
But I think Roxy Music would be great for those times where you wanted to set the lights down low.
But please don't turn on closed caption for this video DVD. It may spoil the moment.
Take for example the wonderful song "In every dream home a heartache".
The sound is perfect for the seductive moment but the words "normal for
Brian Ferry" never match the mood of the song.
In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I`d like to think so
Standards of living
They´re rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It´s only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there
Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of its comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float my new pool
De luxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can´t throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I´ll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind
Oh those heartaches
Dream home heartaches
I would still recommend Roxy Music but as I said... keep the closed captions off.
Greg
Grog you forgot Jewish Princess, also by Zappa.
Lyrics
unprintable in any fashion. Suffice it talks about squeaky noises
during intimate moments, and certain damp spots on the body.
Also
equally offensive is Catholic Girls...Dinah Moe Humm, we could
construct an entire Zappa songlist guaranteed to NOT get you any
ladies! HA.

All I know is Barry White is a good choice.
Jazz is also good. But sometimes it really has to do with what you may have been playing when some other moment occured.
Brick House, YMCA and watching SuperFly have become seductive in our home for reasons that only make sense to us.
Here are two songs that you should not play!
Frank Zappa - Freak Out! - The Mothers of Invention
Wowie Zowie - Frank Zappa
Wowie zowie
Your loves a treat
Wowie zowie
You cant be beat
Wowie zowie, baby
Youre so neat
I dont even care
If you shave your legs
Wowie zowie, baby
Youre so fine
Wowie zowie, baby
Please be mine
Wowie zowie
Up and down my spine
I dont even care
If you brush your teeth
I dream of you each mornin
I dream of you each night
Just the other day I got so shook up
I dreamed of you in the afternoon
Baum didi, baum didi, baum didi,
Baum didi, baum didi, baum didi
I dream of you each mornin
I dream of you each night
Just the other day I got so shook up
I had a flash in the afternoon
Wowie zowie, baby
Love me do
Wowie zowie
And Ill love you too
Wowie zowie, baby
Ill be true
I dont even care
If your dads the heat
Wowie zowie

Go Cry On Somebody Else's Shoulder - Frank Zappa
A year ago today
Was when you went away
But now you come back knockin on my door
And you say youre back to stay,
But I say...
Go cry
On somebody elses shoulder
Im somewhat wiser now
And one whole year older
I sure dont need you now
And I dont love you
Anymore
You cheated me baby,
And told some dirty lies about me
Fooled around with all those other guys
Thats why I had to set you free
I sure dont need you now
And I dont love you
Anymore
A year ago today
You went away
And now you come back crying
Crying, crying: please, let me in
But I dont need you
No I dont love you anymore
So go lean on...go cry on
Somebody elses door
Go cry
On somebody elses shoulder
Im somewhat wiser now
And one whole year older
I sure dont need you now
And I dont love you
Anymore (oh, my darling!)
(spoken:)
Go ahead and cry
Go ahead and let the tears fall outa your eye
Let em fall on your dress
Who cares if it makes a mess?
I gave you my high school ring
At the root beer stand
We had a teen-age love baby
I thought it was sharp
It was really so grand...but
You cheated me baby
And told some dirty lies about me
Fooled around with all those other guys
Thats why I had to get my khakis pressed
I sure dont need you now
And I dont love you
Anymore
(spoken:)
Baby, I love you so much, darling
Why dont you dig me?
I dig you
But you dont dig me
I dont understand what it is
I had my car re-upholstered
I got my hair processed
I got a nice pompadour job on it
I bought a new pair of shoes
I got some new khakis and I met you
And we went out to get a coca-cola...

Well Roxy Music Live at the Apollo is my favorite DVD.
Here is another great Roxy Music live performance from 1982.
While it does not have the perfection in performance of the Apollo DVD
it does offer the raw quality of a great band and is one of my top DVD
recommendations.
The High Road DVD is a masterpiece which contains many of the same songs we heard in the Apollo performace.
Roxy Music - The High Road
Released on DVD - December 14, 2004
Recorded Live in Frejus France on 27th August 1982.
Running time: 73Min.
# 1. The Main Thing
# 2. Out Of The Blue
# 3. Both Ends Burning
# 4. A Song For Europe
# 5. Can't Let Go
# 6. While My Heart Is Still Beating
# 7. Avalon
# 8. My Only Love
# 9. Dance Away
# 10. Love Is The Drug
# 11. Like A Hurricane
# 12. Editions Of You
# 13. Do The Strand
# 14. Jealous Guy
Bryan Ferry...........Vocals
Phil Manzaner.......Guitar
Andy MacKay .......Saxophone and Oboe
Neil Hubbard........Guitar
Andy Newmark.....Drums
Alan Spenner.........Bass Guitar
Jimmy Maelen.......Percussion
Guy Fletcher..........Keyboards
Fonzi Thornton......Backing Vocals
Michelle Cobbs.....Backing Vocals
Tawatha Agee........Backing Vocals
If you love Roxy Music this High Road is a must have DVD as well.
Side Note: I also have the Roxy Music EP/DVD.
There are only three songs on the EP/DVD by Roxy Music and the rest of
the DVD includes other video's from the past such as Rick Wakeman and
Leon Russell. Good DVD but not Roxy's best offering.
Greg
If Grog hasn't posted about Roxy Music Live
in London at Apollo 2001, allow me. He recommended this on another
thread. I've always been a big Roxy fan and this was no disappointment.
This is the culmination of a reunioin tour, as the band had last played
together in 1983, 18 years previous. No chops were lost. The music is
pure artistry, the vocal drenched in vibrato and angst. Twin guitars of
Spedding and Manzaners wreak havok and McCays's Sax work is soulful as
ever. Ever present on a massive drum kit, it's esy to forget Paul
Thompson because he so 'right there' on the mark. A couple of new
ladies in the band take up Eno's synth work/ electric violin and
percussion handsomly. Some of the synth stuff you would swear is Brian
Eno in his heyday. Zaj? on bass is just thunderous..
This show
highlight many many hits of the career of this seminal band from the
70's. Some acid charged, some ballads, all great tunes. If I were at
this show, there would be no song to take an intermission with.
Lighting and sound quality are superb. THere is good solid
implementation of 5.1 on one song there is Sax/Synth/Gtr solos that
seque from one to the other and it moves smoothly from stage
left->center->stage right just as effortlessly. The mix places
you 'in front of the soundboard' in the words of my esteemed premier
viewer DrWho, who to my surprise enjoyed this immensley.
Afterward
we tried a new Yes Symphonic DVD that paled by comparison, we just had
to shut it off and preserve the good memories of the show previously
seen. It was that stunning.
This is destined to become one of my favorite concert DVD's and I have probably 30 already. Go get it! NOW
Thanks again Grog, I'm gonna follow your recommendations a bit closer after this one.

13. Raunchy - Bill Justis
14. Wipe Out - The Surfaris
15. No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In) - The T-Bones
Raunchy is my top pick for the CD.
But the "Alka-Seltzer" classic commercial song from the past "No Matter
What Shape (Your Stomach's In) by The T-Bones". Yes it was the
T-Bones.
Every song on this CD brings back sounds from the past. Most of the songs have not had any air play of any kind for years.
What memories does this CD bring back to you?
For me, roller skating!

That would be my top three pick as well.
I did put them in order.
1. Ginger Baker - Graham Bond Org, Cream, Air Force, etc.
2. Paul Thompson - Roxy Music, Concrete Blonde
3. Graeme Edge - Moody Blues, Graeme Edge Band
Greg
Ok we've been through just about every other part of a band - let's try
drummers. This is a favorite for me since I am an
ex-drummer. Who do you think was/is the greatest drummer of all
time - a master of percussion.
My top 3 favorites are (in no particular order)
1. Ginger Baker - Graham Bond Org, Cream, Air Force, etc.
2. Graeme Edge - Moody Blues, Graeme Edge Band
3. Paul Thompson - Roxy Music, Concrete Blonde
there are others, these are just the first off the top of my head.

Phil Manzanera and Chris Spedding of Roxy Music
Phil Manzanera
http://www.manzanera.com/biog2.htm
Phil Manzanera is one of the UK's best-known musicians and record
producers, having shot to prominence in the early '70's as the lead
guitarist with the seminal band, Roxy Music. He is widely acknowledged
as one of the world's leading guitarists and is in much demand both as
a performer and record producer, especially of Spanish-speaking artists.
Chris Spedding
Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter Chris Spedding was a mainstay of the
British session scene since the late 60s, playing with just about
everyone from Nucleus, Jack Bruce, John Cale, Elton John, Mike Batt to
Paul McCartney & The Bay City Rollers (anonymously!).
In 1975 Spedding had a hit record called "Motorbikin'".
In the late 70s he moved to the States and worked with Robert Gordon, Jerry Harrison, Dick Rivers and Johnny Hallyday.
Recently, Spedding plays with Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, and in the summer 2005 he releases solo album and will tour in Germany.
Both of the above guitarist are part of the rock band Roxy Music. All I can say is when play together it is awesome!
The Roxy Music - Live at the Apollo (2002) DVD includes this great talent.
This DVD is actually my #1 pick of all the music I own.

A great man knows just when to put on a Barry White CD to change to mood!
Greg
Good heavens Sputnik -- rein it back in
buddy boy!!!! Speaking of psycho-analysis .... you might want to
contact someone in your area. Ah but the love of a good woman,
every man will walk in greatness as long as he has a woman behind him
pushing his sorry a** every inch of the way!!!!

Wooo baby I would put "I Get off on You" in the music cue for you but
Barry is taking a break while Ginger Baker is jamming the night away...
But later..... " your
sexiness, right down to your feet,"
Greg
I hope I have 1st dibs on Barry
White - see'ins how I don't think he would be your or Grog's
"type". Hey I just thought about that statement....I have 1st
dibs on a dead man...wow - flashback to my 1st husband..ROFL!!!!

I will have to look for Stratavarious. Seems that was a LP released back in 1972!
I have to admit I really like Middle Passage by Ginger Baker which is
not as rare. Audio CD was released September 24, 1991 but seems
Amazon has it in stock.
Middle Passage - Ginger Baker
01 Mektoub
02 Under Black Skies
03 Time Be Time
04 Alamout
05 Basil
06 South To The Dust
Best song on the CD "to me" is song #6 "South To The Dust".
Samples on Amazon to listen too as well.

My wife just picked up the "Cream Royal Albert Hall - London May
2-3-5-6 05" (2-DVD Set) as well as the November 26, 1968 Cream Farwell
Concert DVD today.
The drum solo on DVD-2 of the "Cream Royal Albert Hall - London
concert" shows Baker still has his stuff. Best drum solo by Ginger to
date! This is one hell of a great concert and I got to see it! Looks
great on my Dell 24" 2405 LCD monitor,,,, but it sounds wonderful due
to my Klipsch speakers! Great 5.1 sound!
Greg
That is one hell of a pick.
Big Ginger Baker fan here!

Ginger Baker stratavarious

Ginger's got quite the following very interesting site -
Well I for one do!
I have a HDTV card on my computer system for OTA broadcasts and PBS SoundStage has had some really good shows.
With PBS which broadcasts in 720P only DL DVD will fit one hour of program content.
What about 1080i like the OLYMPICS. Well around two hours at 1080i took 12.7 GB (13,728,391,168 bytes).
DTV content just won't fit on DVD with today's standards even DL. Love to have a few 25GB DVD's to put those shows on!
Still I don't wait. I buy DVD's when I see what I like.
If we go to higher quality in the future the old DVD's will make great coffee coasters.
Greg
Wow, that's what I call a democratic poll.
Hey...Everyone gets to vote!![
][][]Especially since no one knows what this new
standard will be! 720p, 1080i, 1080p, HDDVD, Blu Ray, Holographic
storage...take your pick! And those are just the formats available
as of 2006!
Besides, if the disk is of legacy material - who cares??????????????????
It makes no difference!
