Eddie Cochran – The Eddie Cochran Box Set (1988) [4CD, Box Set]

Eddie Cochran - The Eddie Cochran Box Set (1988) [4CD, Box Set]

When rock ‘n’ roll exploded across America in 1956, there was an immediate demand for young white rockers cast in the mould of rock’s great progenitor, Elvis Presley, whose dynamic fusion of hillbilly and R&B had revolutionised post-war music within the space of a few months. Eddie Cochran had Continue reading “Eddie Cochran – The Eddie Cochran Box Set (1988) [4CD, Box Set]”

David Gilmour – Live At Pompeii (2017) [Deluxe Box Set, 2xCD + 2xBlu-ray + Hi-Res]

David Gilmour - Live At Pompeii (2017) [Deluxe Box Set, 2xCD + 2xBlu-ray + Hi-Res]

David Gilmour’s two concerts assembled for Live at Pompeii mark the first time that the amphitheater has hosted a rock gig since Pink Floyd played there in 1971. They didn’t play for an audience, however, they were filmed for Adrian Maben’s documentary Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii. Gilmour’s gigs — some 45 years after Floyd — bests their gig historically: It hosted a paying audience assembled from all over the globe, and it was the first time an audience had occupied the site since 79 AD. This double-disc set is the movie’s soundtrack. Continue reading “David Gilmour – Live At Pompeii (2017) [Deluxe Box Set, 2xCD + 2xBlu-ray + Hi-Res]”

Megadeth – Discography (1985 – 2016)

Megadeth - Discography (1985 - 2016)

After he left Metallica in 1983, guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine formed the thrash metal quartet Megadeth. Though Megadeth followed the basic blueprint of Metallica’s relentless attack, Mustaine’s group distinguished themselves from his earlier band by lessening the progressive rock influences, adding an emphasis on instrumental skills, speeding up the tempo slightly, and making the instrumental attack harsher.

The Animals – Albums Collection

The Animals - Albums Collection

One of the most important bands originating from England’s R&B scene during the early ’60s, the Animals were second only to the Rolling Stones in influence among R&B-based bands in the first wave of the British Invasion. The Animals had their origins in a Newcastle-based group called the Kansas City Five, whose membership included pianist Alan Price, drummer John Steel, and vocalist Eric Burdon. Price exited to join the Kontours in 1962, while Burdon went off to London. Continue reading “The Animals – Albums Collection”

B.B.King – Ladies & Gentlemen… Mr. B.B.King (2012) [10CD Box Set]

B.B.King - Ladies & Gentlemen... Mr. B.B.King (2012) [10CD Box Set]

Universal’s 2012 box set Ladies & Gentlemen…Mr. B.B. King is hardly the first B.B. King box set — MCA assembled a similar four-disc set called King of the Blues in 1992, Ace had a tremendous four-CD box called The Vintage Years in 2002 that covered his pre-ABC/Paramount recordings (apparently every ten years it’s time for a new B.B. box) — but it certainly is the most ambitious, arriving in two separate career-spanning incarnations.

Foreigner – Discography (1977 – 2014)

Foreigner - Discography (1977 - 2014)

While quite a few arena rock acts of the ’70s found the transformation into the ’80s quite difficult, several acts continued to flourish and enjoyed some of their biggest commercial success: Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, and especially Foreigner. Foreigner’s leader from the beginning has been British guitarist Mick Jones, who first broke into the music biz as a “hired gun” of sorts, appearing on recordings by George Harrison and Peter Frampton, and as part of a later-day version of hard rockers Spooky Tooth. By the mid-’70s, Jones had relocated to New York City, where he was a brief member of the Leslie West Band and served as an A&R man for a record company.

Nat King Cole – The Complete Capitol Recordings Of The Nat King Cole Trio (1991) [18CD Box Set]

Nat King Cole - The Complete Capitol Recordings Of The Nat King Cole Trio (1991) [18CD Box Set]

Music fans born after 1960 are less likely to be aware that Nat King Cole began his career as an influential jazz pianist, so much so that the great Art Tatum and the up-and-coming Oscar Peterson formed trios similar to Cole’s. What this comprehensive limited-edition boxed set does is put all of Cole’s jazz trio recordings, including later groups that added a conga player, selected tracks from sessions that sometimes border on easy listening, and nearly the complete contents Continue reading “Nat King Cole – The Complete Capitol Recordings Of The Nat King Cole Trio (1991) [18CD Box Set]”
