The Essential Collection: 1965–1997 is a box-set compilation album from The Carpenters that, with the exception of a few track changes, is essentially the same as the 1991 From the Top set. Coming in at four discs and 73 songs, this album is one of the biggest of all Carpenters compilation sets. The songs from this box set are everything from the Richard Carpenter Trio recordings from 1965 to their biggest hits in the early 1970s to the last song ever recorded by the Carpenters, “Now”.

Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971 is 17-song set recorded just as Tapestry was topping the charts and making Carole King a superstar. Featuring most of Tapestry and a few songs from Writer and Music this is, in a sense, Carole King unplugged (although that terminology was not yet in use).

Chris de Burgh celebrates a remarkable and rare career milestone during 2024; half a century as a recording artist. Yet when he signed his first recording contract in 1974 and his debut album, ‘Far beyond These Castle Walls’, was released by A&M Records that same year, Chris did not look beyond the immediate future.

Cilla Black – Completely Cilla: 1963-1973 (2012) [Box Set, 5CD + DVD]

Cilla Black - Completely Cilla: 1963-1973 (2012) [Box Set, 5CD + DVD]

Cilla Black wasn’t a natural singer when the Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein, discovered her, and while she learned the ropes well enough and developed into a strong ballad singer, she was never a serious threat to Dusty Springfield in the talent department. But the pop world isn’t really about pure talent as much as it is a matter of timing, luck, having the right look, and maybe most of all, good material and good production Continue reading “Cilla Black – Completely Cilla: 1963-1973 (2012) [Box Set, 5CD + DVD]”

Rod Stewart - The Best Of... The Great American Songbook (2011) [2024, Japanese Blu-spec CD2]

Rod Stewart didn’t devote his new millennium solely to the Great American Songbook — he dallied with classic rock and soul — but it sure felt that way, with Rod delivering five collections of standards in just under a decade.

Joe Cocker – Albums Collection (1969-2016)

Joe Cocker - Albums Collection (1969-2016)

After starting out as an unsuccessful pop singer (working under the name Vance Arnold), Joe Cocker found his niche singing rock and soul in the pubs of England with his superb backing group, the Grease Band. He hit number one in the U.K. in November 1968 with his version of the Beatles’ “A Little Help from My Friends.” Continue reading “Joe Cocker – Albums Collection (1969-2016)”

When Carly Simon signed to Jac Holzman’s Elektra Records, it was the beginning of a relationship built on trust and mutual admiration. Carly shared: “Jac paired me with producer/engineer: Eddie Kramer, and we began exploring my songs, one of which was, – “That’s The Way I Always Heard It Should Be,” a song I had written earlier that year with Jake Brackman that expressed the deep inner feelings of women. By the time we had finished, Jac thought connecting to women with noble lyrics and honest identity was unusual as a first single, but a worthy risk.

Teaming up once again with producer Matt Serletic, the Matchbox 20 and Collective Soul producer who helmed the 2010 album Hard Knocks, Joe Cocker winds up branching out in slightly different directions on 2012’s Fire It Up. Where Hard Knocks wound up as a clean, polished blue-eyed soul album, Fire It Up sounds closer to Serletic’s work with Matchbox 20 — an adult pop album where the R&B is buried beneath gleaming, pulsating rock.
