Roy Orbison – The Soul Of Rock And Roll (2008) [4CD Box Set]

Roy Orbison - The Soul Of Rock And Roll (2008) [4CD Box Set]

In 1988, Columbia Records released a four-disc Roy Orbison retrospective called The Legendary Roy Orbison. It contained 74 tracks. It was a great package except for one thing: it sounded terrible, as the mastering techniques in the first days of the CD were not what they are now. The Soul of Rock and Roll, issued by Sony Legacy in 2008, is an enormous improvement in the sonic arena, just for starters. This four-disc collection contains 107 tracks (33 more than the previous box) with selections from all the labels Orbison recorded for.

The Who – Quadrophenia: Live In London (2014) [Deluxe Edition, 2CD + DVD + 2BD + Hi-Res]

The Who - Quadrophenia: Live In London (2014) [Deluxe Edition, 2CD + DVD + 2BD + Hi-Res]

When the Who initially attempted to tour Quadrophenia in 1974, the results were a disaster. The band performed the rock opera alongside a series of backing tapes containing synthesizers and sound effects, a decision that put the mercurial Who into a straitjacket and led to uncharacteristically restrained performances. For years, the legend that Quadrophenia didn’t lend itself to the stage persisted but things started to change in 1996 Continue reading “The Who – Quadrophenia: Live In London (2014) [Deluxe Edition, 2CD + DVD + 2BD + Hi-Res]”

Alice Cooper – Discography (1969 – 2018)

Alice Cooper - Discography (1969 - 2018)

Originally, there was a band called Alice Cooper led by a singer named Vincent Damon Furnier. Under his direction, Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and huge boa constrictors, all coordinated by the heavily made-up Furnier Continue reading “Alice Cooper – Discography (1969 – 2018)”

The Moody Blues – Discography (1965 – 2014)

The Moody Blues - Discography (1965 - 2014)

Although they’re best known today for their lush, lyrically and musically profound (some would say bombastic) psychedelic-era albums, the Moody Blues started out as one of the better R&B-based combos of the British Invasion. The group’s history began in Birmingham, England with Ray Thomas (harmonica, vocals) and Mike Pinder (keyboards, vocals), who had played together in El Riot & the Rebels and the Krew Cats.

Bon Jovi – Discography (1984 – 2015)

Bon Jovi - Discography (1984 - 2015)

After ushering in the era of pop-metal with their 1986 blockbuster Slippery When Wet and its hit singles “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “Living on a Prayer,” Bon Jovi wound up transcending the big-haired ’80s, withstanding changes in style and sound to become one of the biggest American rock bands of their time — selling over 120 million albums worldwide and sustaining their popularity well into the new millennium.

The Doors – Discography (1967 – 2016)

The Doors - Discography (1967 - 2016)

The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film students Ray Manzarek, keyboards, and Jim Morrison, vocals; with drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek’s electric organ work and Morrison’s deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic lyrics. The group signed to Elektra Records in 1966 and released its first album, The Doors, featuring the hit “Light My Fire,” in 1967 Continue reading “The Doors – Discography (1967 – 2016)”

Lou Reed – The RCA & Arista Album Collection (2016) [17CD Box Set]

Lou Reed - The RCA & Arista Album Collection (2016) [17CD Box Set]

In 1972, Lou Reed was a minor cult hero to a handful of rock critics and left-of-center music fans who championed his former band, the Velvet Underground, but he was unknown to the mainstream music audience. By 1986, Reed was a rock & roll icon, widely hailed as a master songwriter and one of the founding fathers of punk, glam, noise rock, and any number of other vital rock subgenres; he even scored a few hits along the way.
