The Three Degrees – The Best Of The Three Degrees (2000)

The Three Degrees - The Best Of The Three Degrees (2000)

During the long fickle history of popular music, female groups have come and gone in the pop charts. The Supremes, Martha And The Vandellas, The Ronettes, The Crystals and, more recently, Bananarama and The Spice Girls, are some of the names who have achieved world-wide recognition in their time. The Three Degrees are another female act who their own very considerable impression on the international pop charts. Continue reading “The Three Degrees – The Best Of The Three Degrees (2000)”

VA – Pulp Fiction: Music From The Motion Picture (1994)

VA - Pulp Fiction: Music From The Motion Picture (1994)

The soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino’s darkly funny crime classic Pulp Fiction manages to re-create the film’s wildly careening sense of style, violence, and humor by concentrating on the surf music that comprises the bulk of the movie’s incidental music and adding a few sexy oldies integral to the film’s story (“Let’s Stay Together,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” “You Never Can Tell”).

Ultimate Prince is a greatest hits album by American recording artist Prince. It was released on August 22, 2006 by Warner Bros. Records. The two-disc set contains a disc of some previously released hits (some in single edit form; only “My Name Is Prince” has not been on a previous hits collection), and another of extended remixes of hits and a B-side, most of which have only been previously released as vinyl 12-inch singles.

The Clash – Hits Back (2013)

The Clash - Hits Back (2013)

A tie-in to the exhaustive 2013 box set Sound System, the 2013 compilation The Clash Hits Back is a novel approach to a career retrospective: it mirrors the 24-song set list for the band’s July 19, 1982 concert at Brixton Fairdeal, then adds eight bonus hits at the end. The Clash Hits Back slightly tweaks the running order of the original set — “Bankrobber” arrived five songs into the concert but appears eighth here — but that doesn’t matter much, as this swap doesn’t alter the impact of the original set.

The Beginning of Survival is a whopping 16-track collection from Joni Mitchell’s Geffen period, recorded between 1985-1998, and carefully chosen by the artist as “commentaries on the world in which we live.” One has to wonder about the title: if by saying this is “the beginning of survival,” Mitchell is referring to her own retirement strategy — she is no longer making new records.
