Canned Heat – Uncanned! The Best Of Canned Heat (1994)

Canned Heat - Uncanned! The Best Of Canned Heat (1994)

For all but the completists, this anthology should more than suffice as an apt compact-disc retrospective of Canned Heat’s releases on Liberty Records. To that end, it’s a more or less chronological overview of the combo’s LPs, commencing with a trio of tunes from a spring 1967 studio session that predates their self-titled debut (1967).

It’s almost impossible to regard the soundtrack albums for the Michael Wadleigh documentary Woodstock, simply as music, apart from the event that inspired them or what that event has come to represent. Music from the Original Soundtrack and More: Woodstock was originally released by Atlantic’s Cotillion imprint as a three-LP set in a gatefold sleeve.

Total Size: 270 MB | 3% RAR Recovery
Label: Audio Fidelity | USA | Cat#: AFZ 054 | Genre: Blues Rock, Southern Rock

Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote the book on Southern rock with their first album, so it only made sense that they followed it for their second album, aptly titled Second Helping. Sticking with producer Al Kooper (who, after all, discovered them), the group turned out a record that replicated all the strengths of the original, but was a little tighter and a little more professional.

Barry White – All-Time Greatest Hits (1994)

It took quite a while for a definitive Barry White compilation to hit the market, but All-Time Greatest Hits — part of Mercury’s Funk Essentials series — finally filled the bill in 1995. Boasting a full 20 tracks from White’s heyday of 1973-1978, more than half of which made the R&B Top Ten, All-Time Greatest Hits is easily the most generous single-disc White collection on the market.

Total Size: 215 MB | 3% RAR Recovery
Label: Audio Fidelity | USA | Cat#: AFZ 031 | Genre: Psychedelic Rock

The best Beach Boys album, and one of the best of the 1960s. The group here reached a whole new level in terms of both composition and production, layering tracks upon tracks of vocals and instruments to create a richly symphonic sound. Conventional keyboards and guitars were combined with exotic touches of orchestrated strings, bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, Theremin, Hawaiian-sounding string instruments, Coca-Cola cans, barking dogs, and more.

The Tremeloes – The Best Of The Tremeloes (1992)

The Tremeloes - The Best Of The Tremeloes (1992)

Back in the early ’90s, when this 20-song compilation came out, it was more music by the Tremeloes than had been seen in America in decades, and it was absolutely essential listening — the Tremeloes’ music is so upbeat and enjoyable, that they could significantly improve the collective frame of mind of our society if their work was better known.
