I was happy to add this album to my growing vinyl collection, and I loved the fact that it was a 180g version as I like that version better than the standard pressings where the vinyl can at times feel much more flimsy. This album is very well made and has a great sound with little to no noise on the vinyl. You really shouldn’t be hearing a lot of pops, hiss or scratching when you listen to vinyl, that only shows you either have poor equipment, a poor quality record, or both. I was also pleased to see I could get a digital copy of album as well. While I bought the album expressly for the purpose on playing on my turntable I like that I can also play it in the car as well and not have to purchase another copy. The album is great and has many of the songs I remembered listening to when I was younger. I recall hearing many of these songs also done by Erasure, and then Abba doing a number of Erasure songs. It just brought back a lot of good memories, and I love having it in this format.This is a 2 LP set, and both come in their own cardboard colorful sleeve inside the main album cover. The packaging is attractive, and it is easy to remove and replace the LPs after each playing. The packaging was also in perfect condition after being shipped and the record does not appear to be warped, which is probably helped by the 180g pressing.My favorite songs would have to be Take a Chance on Me, Lay All Your Love on Me, Money, Money, Money, S.O.S, and Waterloo.The LP album comes with the following tracks:Side OneDancing QueenKnowing Me, Knowing YouTake a Chance on MeMamma MiaLay All Your Love on MeSide TwoSuper TrouperI Have a DreamThe Winner Takes It AllMoney, Money, MoneyS.O.SSide ThreeChiquititaFernandoVoulez VousGimme! Gimmie! Gimmie! (A Man after Midnight)Side FourDoes Your Mother KnowOne Of UsThe Name of The GameThank You For The MusicWaterlooIf you are a fan of Vinyl then I would suggest picking up a copy of this as it’s well done, and you’ll enjoy the music. I’ve include a video of the record being spun on the turntable (without sound of course due to copyright laws), and a few photos of the album artwork and the record itself.

Best Purchase that can ever be made.Mamma Mia! Have you ever been stuck in traffic with nothing to listen to? I know I have. It’s horrific. But I guess that’s just the Name of The Game. There is one true way to fix this. Does your Mother Know about ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits. You don’t have to be a Super Trouper in the car, you don’t even need to send out an S.O.S. Simply take the CD out of the case and pop it into the CD player. Not only will you become the Dancing Queen, you will also be saying “Thank You For The Music.”Unbeatable Dance SongsFrom Voulez-Vous to Lay All Your Love on Me, this iconic CD features some of the songs from Mamma Mia! The Musical. It also Features other songs like Fernando and Chiquitita. Knowing Me, Knowing you, you’ll most certainly want to get up and dance. I wouldn’t recommend it though.You may be asking, “Why do I need the CD when I can listen to ABBA on Spotify?” I’ll tell you why: Non. Stop. ABBA. Gold. Greatest. Hits. It’s as simple as that. The CD plays on repeat, and you only pay the price ONE time, no monthly fee, guaranteed!Car RidesWith this CD on your side, there is no chance that you will get bored in the car. You’ll even want to take it inside and listen to it frequently. Each song on the CD is like a new adventure. I can’t make promises, but, if you listen to it enough, your livestock judging team should improve in creativity.Mood Improvement!This CD will most definitely improve your mood tenfold. If you’re having a bad day, the wide variety of songs will quickly turn your frown upside down. It is the easiest fix when storm clouds are overshadowing your day. If there are dark feelings on your horizon, this is the CD for you.ABBA is by far one of the best bands of the 1970’s. They are a Swedish band who’s first hit “Waterloo” is included on this Gold CD. I Have A Dream that you will want to be prepared for the ABBA reunion tour in 2018. During the concert, through your knowledge of all these songs, the band is sure to ask you to be “One of Us.”DrawbacksYou may be wondering, “There has to be some negatives to this CD, aren’t there?” Yes, there are. The biggest negative is that you could certainly get caught being a distracted driver! You will want to dance non-stop in the car. Another drawback to this CD, you’ll be upset that you didn’t buy two. Treat it like the treasure it is though, you’ll want to be careful to not scratch it, that would simply ruin the golden voices that pour out of this CD.Affordable!The best part? It doesn’t even cost the much Money, Money, Money! With the sweetened deal, you should be saying Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! After all, The Winner Takes It All! You don’t even have to go all the way to Waterloo to get it. This CD simply says “Take a Chance On Me!” Order your copy of ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits while you still can!

Exactly as it says. Great for ABBA fans!

Wow! Awesome CD. Great sound, no flaws. Their music and songs are uplifting and takes right back to the good days! Buy it, you won’t be disappointed!

A perfect vinyl record for any ABBA fan! Every song is one you know.

good album

Love the vinyl, great songs, came in quick and packaged really well. There were no scratches, nor was the vinyl warped. Great price for such good music

This CD has a great selection of ABBA’s hits. I love their music and never get tired of listening to them.

If you have not checked out Daft Punk’s new album yet, I am here to tell you that you are missing out on a GEM of an album.Random Access Memories is an amazing blend of their already amazing musical art with 60’s groove and 70’s funk. Their music on this album is not as strictly “techno” as it used to be, so if you’re looking for song styles mirroring “Technologic” or “Around the World” you won’t find it on this album. However, in a musical world that’s been permeated by tehcno-dance remixes and dubstep, I strongly believe their decision to give a new twist to old school styles saved them from being just another dance record gathering dust on the shelf.I know a lot of reviewers on here are saying they think Daft Punk is going “mainstream” because they have one song on here that’s gotten some radio play; but honestly, if you listened to the whole album and came away with that thought…then, not to be rude, but you need to listen to it again because you didn’t get it. This album is far from mainstream. It is an album that showcases their growth. It reminds me a lot of how some fans reacted when Linkin Park released their album A Thousand Suns – a lot of people whined because they didn’t sound the same as they did when they made Hybrid Theory or Meteora. But if a band doesn’t grow and try new things, they’ll only become stagnant and gather dust somewhere in a fanboy’s closet.Daft Punk has proven two things through this record:1. Their art is timeless because they can adapt to the times while remaining true to themselves and their style.2. Absence does make the heart grow fonder (this is their first studio album release since 2005, not counting collaborations or soundtrack work).If you have not listened to this album yet, give yourself an audible treat and do so.Here are a few standout songs from the album for those looking for a good sample (but honestly, the whole album is pretty amazing) :-BeyondHoly cow, what can I say about this song?It starts out like an orchestra musically describing the doorway to a fantasy world and morphs into an amazing musical and lyrical journey. Just check out these lyrics to the end of the song:”You are the night, you are the oceanYou are the light behind the cloudYou are the end and the beginningA world where time is not allowedThere’s no such thing as competitionTo find a way we lose controlRemember, love’s our only mission…This is the journey of the soulThe perfect song is framed with silenceIt speaks of places never seenYou hold your promise long forgotten,It is the birthplace of your dreams.”The lyrics alone are proof of Daft Punk’s growth in this album.-Give Life Back to MusicThis song is probably the closest to their old style, but definitely has some new grooves goin’ on.-Fragments of TimeIf you’re a fan of Earth, Wind & Fire, I’m pretty sure you’ll like this song. It has a heavy 70’s funk influence throughout the song and is all around a groovy song.-Instant CrushI had an instant crush on this song, so it’s aptly named. It’s a great song for relaxing – very mellow beat and good guitar riffs.- MotherboardThis song is completely instrumental…and completely wonderful. If you were a fan of their work on the soundtrack for Tron: Legacy, you’ll probably like this.So if you’re ready for a musical ride, download this baby and get ready to jam! 🙂

This album’s received a lot of mixed opinions, and I think it’s because people make the mistake of expecting “more of the same” from Daft Punk. AKA “another Discovery.” Daft Punk has made it their motto to always try something new, and while not everyone will appreciate the “disco” direction they took with this album, I honestly think this is going to become one of my favorite albums of all time. There’s so much love and admiration to be felt in every single track, and to me, there are no weak tracks here. There’s something beautiful about each one. But those are my personal feelings towards it.If you’re expecting “drops” or bombastic electric noise or 12 more tracks just like Get Lucky, look elsewhere. Daft Punk is taking risks and experimenting with new things here, and I think you need to go in listening to RAM with an open mind.I will also say this: I think this album requires patience. I don’t say this very often, but I truly believe it’s one of those albums that is best when you listen to it as a whole piece instead of 13 unrelated songs. Daft Punk loves to tell stories, and RAM tells the story of their robot personas older, more mature, experiencing heartbreak and love and happiness, learning to celebrate life, yearning for humanity. I’d like to think of RAM as the soundtrack for a movie that plays in your imagination. I also think it gets better after a few listens; I’ve seen countless fellow Daft Punk fans say they were confused for the first listen, and then gradually fell in love after one or two more listen throughs. So give this one a chance if you’re not crazy about it at first!A lot of the songs are also dauntingly long, but unlike Homework’s loops, most of these songs take very different turns when you listen to them all the way through, so please don’t listen to the first half minute of those songs and skip them because it’s not exciting right away. “Touch ft. Paul Williams,” in particular, stands at a daunting 8 minutes and 19 seconds, with a long intro referencing the boys’ favorite movie, “Phantom of the Paradise” (coincidentally, also featuring Mr. Williams :)). But it has ended up being possibly my all time favorite Daft Punk song. It makes a gorgeous progression that you might not expect.All that being said about this album being extremely different, though, there’s definitely nods towards their previous works, and certain songs are reminiscent of snippets of their past. If you’re looking for more in the similar vein of Get Lucky, “Lose Yourself to Dance” (another collab with Pharrell and Rodgers) is a great tune. If you liked Discovery, “The Game of Love” is almost like a sequel to “Something About Us.” The closest thing to Homework or Human After All I can think of is perhaps “Giorgio by Moroder”; the sound that kicks in after Mr. Moroder’s intro is a little bit like the electronic loops of those two eras. Motherboard’s outerspacey arpeggios could definitely find a home in the Tron universe.When it gets down to it, I won’t bother to describe this album track by track. I just really encourage you to find time to listen to the album as a whole, with an open mind. I don’t know if this album is going to be a huge game changer in the trends of dance music, or whatever. All I know is that I’ve never cried while listening to ‘dance’ music before. There’s something special here, and I felt a profound connection to it. I can only hope that others might be able to feel that connection as well.Ah, as a side note, the booklet is gorgeous. It has amazing diagrams of the boys’ helmets in the inside. Those of you who have seen Electroma will see a little reference in there, too. 🙂

great album

Perfect amongst many albums. I truly wish I had the cash to buy the super deluxe version, since I only allowed myself to buy A super Deluxe of “IV”.I agree with many of the comments from other reviewers who have had more experience with the LZ releases. I must admit that my main reason, other than to say I love the album, is that I have bought a lot of remasters in the last year and a half, and in talking with various people, I have got a lot of negative feedback about re-masters in general; the gist of it being that the re-master sounds like the previous releases.Well, I know the people here will say that is not true, but am I just experiencing a limited view ? The albums in this re-release series has the increased clarity and better sound that I have heard in other re-masters; the point being that being able to present audio in a better way so that the guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, etc are all easier to hear makes for a better experience ( but enough vocalizing to the choir ).Whether it is on an iPod, a 5.1 system, or an audio system that allows you to tweak output a little, this is a brilliant re-release. Music by musicians who touched the world with the artistry of the world ( at least that is the way i understood the experimentation).Listen, enjoy and love the artistry of a band that is rare.

“Houses Of The Holy” was THE Zeppelin album of my last couple years of high school. I still remember the giddy feeling I got the very first time I heard “Dancing Days” pumping through the family radio on good old WRIF. I don’t know how many times I listened to my vinyl copy, Koss Pro 4AA headphones clamped on my head, and my Mom constantly admonishing me that I’d ruin my hearing.It was the time when everyone I knew wanted to be in a rock band, and several of us acquired guitars. Led Zeppelin tunes were often frustratingly impossible to nail down, because none of us were sophisticated enough to know about alternate tunings, which Jimmy Page frequently employed.Likewise, and sadly, no one in my circle was aware of John Paul Jone’s immense contribution to Zeppelin’s sound. To us, it was all about Plant, Page and crazy Bonham. Jones was just ‘the bassist’.As the years passed and CDs overtook my growing music collection, my tastes drifted away from Rock. And when I picked up a couple of the early CDs of Zeppelin’s work for old times sake, I was very disappointed in the crappy quality of those transfers.Flash forward, and I finally got around to picking up this Deluxe remaster. Maybe Mom was right, because this still doesn’t seem to have the warmth and vibrance I remember from the vinyl – maybe it’s my hearing.However, this CD is heads and tails better than my old HOTH CD.Where’s that confounded bridge? 🙂

Do they even have a bad album ? NO ! Even the album that they put all their rejects on, Coda, kicks ass ! I only have one more record to buy to replace my entire Zep collection with new vinyl. Even though the old snap, crackle, pop vinyl still sounds great.

This 2-disc set covers the best, but note that if it is a third-party seller, you are taking your chances. The discs were fine, but I would have thought the seller would have cleaned up the box a bit – still had sticky residue. But then again, it was very cheap.

When my copy of MJ’s Number Ones got scratched last summer, I almost bought a new copy. But then a friend of mine suggested I get the Essential MJ instead. I’m glad I listened to her. Both collections are great, but the Essential MJ is MUCH more complete. Unlike the Number Ones collection, the Essential MJ includes several hits from the Jackson 5/Jacksons as well as MJ’s early solo hits Ben, Rockin Robin, and Gotta Be There. It also includes all the top 10 charting songs from Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad.My friend was lucky and somehow got a 3-disc version of the Essential MJ, with the 3rd disc including Scream and Say Say Say. I ordered the 2-disc version from Amazon and then downloaded several other MJ songs (“I’ll be There,” “Never Can Say Good-Bye,” “Who’s Loving You?” “I Wanna Be Where you Are,” and “Dancin’ Machine” from his early work, and “Workin Day and Night,” “Say, Say, Say,” “Scream,” and “The Earth Song” from his work as an adult solo artist). Now I have three great disks with everything on them. My two daughters (ages 8 and 11) won’t let me play anything else in the car!!

Got it for my 70 year old mom, she loved it

after the disastrous HISTORY book one, this is a huge improvement. the HISTORY album made the huge mistake of putting a very good proper EP album of new material with the cd of the classics. the classics only buried the new album, and the greatest hits cd in the package was poorly done. it left out many of his best songs. with this cd “the essential Michael Jackson”, we have his best from the Jackson 5 era all the way through invincible. the first disc is by far the stellar collection. his earlier music was brilliantly untouchable. however, as he aged as an artist, he lost some of the magic the earlier recordings had. for an awesome listen, disc one of “the essential Michael Jackson” will never disappoint. finally a proper greatest hits collection. ….and disc two is pretty darn good too!

+++ Excellent item, Good Price and in Perfect condition +++

This CD is pretty darn good if you want a buffet of most of Michael Jackson’s best work and aren’t bothered that some of the songs aren’t the original length. Starting with some great Jackson 5 songs like “I Want You Back”, “ABC” and “Rockin Robin”, you are in awe at how talented little Michael is with that huge voice as a child. You wish you were around when he was singing with the Jackson 5! After the Jackson 5 songs, you get a very good taste of some great work at the beginning of Michael’s solo career like “Ben” and a couple from The Jacksons. Several great songs that never got alot of airplay but are just as fabulous are “Off the Wall” and “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground). Of course who can not like some of his Thriller Hits, “Human Nature”, “Billie Jean”, “Beat It”, we’ve all heard these songs a hundred times before. The version of “Wanna Be Starting Something” is short-barely 4 minutes when the orginal is six minutes…so that irritated me. Another song that is great but never made it to number one is “Another Part of Me” also used in the Captain EO film at Disneyland, which we have all seen as kids. Two songs I have never really liked are “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” and “Leave Me Alone” are both on here and on the sleeve there is a mistake-they were not recorded in 1982. “Smooth Criminal” is the same as the version on “Number Ones”,, the radio edit. However, songs from one of my favorite albums, “Dangerous” make this album even better. The sexy “Dangerous” is in full-form, beautiful “Heal the World”, “Remember the Time” and “Will You Be There” are more examples of Michael’s great and diverse work.Unfortunately, “Jam” and “Earth song” (also from “Dangerous”) are missing along with a couple of his better songs off of his last solo release, “Invincible”, with the exception of “You Rock My World.” All in all, this CD is better than “Number Ones” because it has alot of less-known great songs from both MJ and the Jacksons, and also several of the ones that went to Number One. Good stuff and MJ will be missed greatly.

I agree with an above poster. I didn’t buy this album to “drool” over. I wanted to listen and enjoy his music not analyze his life or even think about his passing. Just enjoy the tracks on this record. 2 songs I liked weren’t included they were , The Jacksons “Torture” and MJ’s 2001 song “2000 Watts”. But I got most of those from the net. I liked some of MJ’s songs but only knew the most popular ones prior to his passing. Since his passing and thanks to a tribute of MJ songs played on XM Satellite Radio. I now enjoy more songs than ever before. I know most think that people like me ONLY bought this record because of the hype. That isn’t true if you never liked MJ’s music than regardless of the hype you won’t all of the sudden like his music. You have to be a fan of some sort prior to his passing. Sad that it takes MJ passing for fans bring his music to a level that he never saw when he was alive. I like most (if you never owned a MJ album) wanted to have at lease one ACTUAL record of MJ’s to remember the good music he did. I’ll add that listening to “You are not alone” is very hard now knowing that MJ is gone. Knowing that he meant so much to so many! It was like his way of leaving a final message! RIP MJ

The cd met all my needs great music from Michael Jackson from his younger years to now. I recommend this CD to all Michael Jackson fans.

Excellent CD in great shape. Highly recommend. Full of Beegees hits.

This is a great compilation of their music but the complete songs are not on there. It’s more like a medley of songs.

Great, CD!

If you like this music, this is a good CD.

Timeless just like it says! The BeeGees are a classic!

I was pleasantly surprised that I like a lot more songs on this CD than I expected to.

In 1967, the Bee Gees appeared internationally with “Bee Gees 1st”. In 1977, the Bee Gees were on the brink of “Saturday Night Fever” mania. In 1987, the Bee Gees came back with the great album “ESP”. In 1997 they released “Still Waters” and were awarded the ‘International Award Bee Gees – AMA’ and the ‘Brits Award’. In 2007 they received the ‘BMI awards’ and now in 2017, they are releasing this collection of classics with the 40th anniversary of “Saturday Night Fever”.It’s almost daunting to think about how many compilations the Bee Gees have released over the years. There are simply dozens. So why release this collection? Capitol Records is cashing in on the group along with a new release (including 180g vinyl) of “Saturday Night Fever”. If these albums sell enough, perhaps Capitol will fulfill their promise to release further unreleased tracks from the Bee Gees past. One can only hope.Note that this collection contains all the #1 hits, and all the Top 20 hits ‘in the USA’. “Spicks And Specks” and “You Win Again” are the odd ones out, but they did reach #1 in Australia and the UK respectively. “More Than A Woman” simply had to be included to coincide with “Saturday Night Fever”.The sound? Its as good as it is going to get. These songs have been remastered over and over again. They sound clean, clear and balanced. Barry’s liner notes are short and sweet, but give little more information to the average listener. If you don’t have a greatest hits collection, you will enjoy this, however, I still can’t think of anything better than the “Bee Gees Ultimate” collection (with DVD).The liner notes consist of all the songs with title, writer(s), release date and producer. There are no liner notes other than Barry’s comment. There are a few photos including one of all their albums. The cover made me think it looked like a Christmas album, but then, it is the music that matters. I do hope Capitol Records gets more creative with more material, especially the unreleased songs.

My husband and i have always loved musicFrom the time we were in our 20s long time ago I remember listening to this album and many many others and we fight a lot from Amazon the oldies so it now with that this week that have this one read it definitely a five it’s a great out there if you don’t have it strongly suggest that you get it and also get a cleaner cleaner that you can get in this solution and then I said like casing he would put your album in and for us to clean it and put it in that it’s like where it would dry you would put it in there and very carefully after it’s dry you put it in like a casing you look this up on Amazon and you’ll see what I’m talking it’s really cool really it’s so cool this is the way to keep your records from being scratched or anything it’s very awesome anyway this is an excellent record if you don’t have it get it it’s cool I rated a five because it’s cool I feel like and say it’s so worth listening to all your music lovers a go online Amazon but they want Apple Music and listen to some of them Then you can make your decision I know you I know you’ll buy it anyway I think it’s a great album and I could’ve got to see more of them are after I’ve got tons of them look into your Macintosh or they’re going to Macintosh and you can see you can get some really cool things Macintosh is the best you can get so cool I tripped on my sister like for $300 she get a whole set OK I should be saying this stuff but that’s so cool OK thanks a lot Denise have a nice day

lets crack it open shall we..review wise i have the USAdistribution of this..and i paid $75 for it.the alive 2007 limited-E was out of print the day it was released..1. When you get the “disk” you are greeted with literally a cd jewel case sized, 1/2 inch think hard cover book, and its a book in every sense of the word, internal fabric based binding and all! On the cover is the alive logo and stuck to it is the blue daft punk sticker, luckily the sticker is one of those super easy removable ones. As for the cover its all gloss black and made really well. The back cover features a full track listing in “alive” blue. AND for once, the copy right info on the back does not threaten you within an inch of your life!!!2. Turn the cover to open it, on the back side of the cover is where disk one lives, happily resting snuggly in its matt black-thick paper-folder, and this folder thing is firmly bound to the cover…like a how a record would live in its sleeve. On the right is a page of high density black mat paper, its a good place to put the sticker by the way..turn the page to see the actual book.3. The book is actually pretty cool, filled with images of the stage, daft punk, the alien triangle and all its glowing glory, the concert setup and what not. Although for the cost of today, meaning the out of print cost..its not too spectacular, but for the original list price it was sold at.. yea i would say its a huge bonus. After the 50 pages…turn the final page to the back side of the back cover, This is where disk 2 lives. Again its snuggly living in a sleeve.4. To the disks!, side the disks out to view, the disks are like the cover, jet black with just the alive logo, and “daft punk Alive 2007”. Its super simplistic and very cool. As for the CD-R it self, its of standard release grade, best to archive them as they are going to scratch easily, best they remain in the book FAR AWAY from high speed drives and car stereos.5. THE MUSIC, disk one is pure ear candy. 12 continuous meshed tracks covering over 20+ mixes, an entire concert from start to finish with the crowd. The opening track throws you right into the mix and primes you for whats to come. Towards the center things really start heating up with high speed -almost perfect mixes of all there major tracks, and towards the end you will rocking out with the crowd to last second. Sound quality is clear with great highs, mids and bass.I would say the CD achieves max allowed sound range..Owners of large stereos with subs shall very be pleased. Headphone wise lots of channel changes and ear candy..IE they should get an A for mastering.Disk two: EXTRA MIXES! and VIDEO! WELL WORTH IT! THEY SOUND AWESOME!!!video is very cool BUT! it does not show the giant triangle with its full projection screens on!!! its mostly of just the light show and the fans..THE JIST.One, i would imagine one would think its crazyto pay $75 to over $100 for this thing.Especially when its probably floating about on the net.but Alive 2007 LE is not about data on plasticits about the spirit of music..and the fact when you buy a CD or record you should get somethingconcrete for your money!!!! For those who went go see alive its well worth it, a memento from an Awesome Concert. For those who did not go, well its as close to it as one can get…i mean you pick it up and whoa..as if the giant triangle just planted it self in your front yard..IE OUT OF PRINT COOL TO THE MAX!

Daft Punk is a duo that I’ve only recently come to love for their ambition, creativity, and craft, but even then I can’t say I’ve loved everything they’ve done. Much of their work, predominantly from their first and third albums, struck me as repetitive, boring electronic buzzing sounds that tend to play on a loop rather than evolve. This is not to say that their other work (“Discovery” and “Random Access Memories,” specifically) doesn’t strike my fancy, as my qualms don’t nearly affect these albums as much. Perhaps it was just that Daft’s more “house” offerings tended to just not mesh well with me.Then I listened to Alive 2007, and I finally get it.This album puts you right there at Bercy Arena with a raging crowd, a pulsing sound, and an intense, almost flawless greatest hits mashup of songs from Daft’s complete history up to that point. Thomas and Guy seamlessly blend all of their work together into an hour-long medley that you won’t be able to stop bobbing your head to, guaranteed. All of my issues with Homework and Human After All somehow just VANISH when you can hear the crowd cheering and moving to the beat, when the melodies of other songs compliment them so well. The meshing of songs that this duo manages to craft are so perfect that I can barely imagine listening to them any other way. Robot Rock? Can’t listen to it without whispering “OH YEAH” to myself anymore. Rollin’ and Scratchin’ suddenly feels empty without a distant screech of “I AM THE BRAINWASHER.”Daft Punk are masters of the house and dance genres, and this album is a pure testament to that. If you’re a fan of any of their work or even disregard them as crazy robots* who just cut and paste the same 4 beats to make a song, give this a listen. You won’t be disappointed.*Humans (after all).

Perfect

Item arrived on time. The front was a bit scratched but the vinyls work great, and the artwork on the inside is fantastic.

Great live record.

I purchased this not knowing if I was going to receive the 2 LP vinyl record or the CDs as the description uses the word “disc” instead of side. I did receive the vinyl and it arrived with some minor areas with dust. The dust was easy to clean off with a vinyl cleaning brush. The vinyl itself feels 180 gram-so you should expect little to no warping. It played very well with little to no pops or clicks. The only issue I have is that the Encore (Human After All / Together / One More Time / Music Sounds Better with You) is NOT included. Total bummer. Overall I’m very happy. Get it before the reissue is gone!

Perfect!

I bought this album because my 5 year old son asked if we could listen to Michael Jackson. I searched through all his albums and this is the one that had the most hits on it. We really enjoy this album and arrive to carpool listening to it often. The only son I can think of that isn’t on there is We Are The World. It has every Michael Jackson hit from the 80’s and a little into the 90’s that I can remember.

Excelente musica dance

Bought as a gift

This was on my wish list for a few years. Was able to finally order it and share with my Mom for her 82nd Birthday and also with my sister who was in town too. We love Michael! Thank you

Loved it. Was gonna send it back but gave it to my grandson for his 17th bday. He loves it too.

Love it thank you

In the 80s everything seemed new. VCR’s changed how everyone watched TV and were spawning mom and pop rental stores everywhere. Cable TV brought recent movies home – I can still remember the HBO theme. There were lots of teen comedies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and lots of new faces in them. And there were music videos on MTV. It felt like a celebration, perhaps the last truly optimistic decade for a long time to come.It was perfect that when MTV went on the air on August 1, 1981 the first video was The Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star. The song seemed a bit arrogant in its proclamation to American ears, where radio was still the only thing, but in the U.K. music videos had been around for years and were an important part of music promotion. The song itself had been around since 1979 when it had been a #1 hit in Britain and most of Europe but only #40 in the U.S., so no one really heard it. Here it sounded like a new song at the dawn of a new era.With a deceptively mellow electric keyboard opening that seemed as it were about to launch into a love song by Stephen Bishop or Lionel Richie, it immediately switched gears with an uptempo and the seemingly vocoded voice of Trevor Horn into a prototype of the 80’s sound ahead of its time. It also exuded an irony and detachment that became a frequent part of the decade’s style. Even the video contained the looks of the 80s from Horn’s sunglasses to the backup singers’ glamorous looks. It was goodbye to granola and earth tones – the Eighties were here.Of course things moved a little more slowly then, and it took awhile for everything to really get going. MTV spread gradually into major markets. But within a year the channel was just about everywhere and all the young people were watching it. The thing was, they needed videos to play and it was the British bands who had them. America was behind for a change and to be honest, the music scene had become somewhat dull with stadium rock and big pop stars but nothing in particular really going on. There were some New Wave bands, with Blondie just breaking out but they were mostly a cult thing.These British bands had a new look and new sound with synthesizers, keyboards that became the sound of the day. Before long there was a real Second British Invasion going on as this collection attests with 16 of its 20 songs being by British artists. Like the 1964 British Invasion these bands generally had many more hits in the U.K. than America. Of course the 80s were as broad and varied a decade as any with funk bands and R&B balladeers, traditional rock, country-rock and pop singers but it was this synth-pop/new wave-ish sound that became emblematic of the decade.Pure 80s doesn’t try to cover the full expanse of 80s music but instead hones in on this particular sound with a few exceptions for the sake of variety.. The people who put it together really captured the birth and expansion of the 80s sound and it’s this which sets it above many similar collections. There’s no attempt to be strictly chronological or get too literal about the times (it includes songs as far as 1986) but for the most part it’s a great portrait of the explosion of music in the early years of the decade. (Still, it should have included Don’t You Want Me by the Human League).The Eurythmics and Annie Lennox became major stars of the decade once Sweet Dreams hit in early ‘83 with its dark minor key tune and message that “Everybody’s looking for something”. Tears for Fears also became major and are present here with their summer of ‘85 hit, Everybody Wants To Rule the World. Culture Club’s biggest song, Karma Chameleon, featured a video in which everyone was on a Mississippi riverboat dressed in 1870’s finery except for Boy George himself who seemed to have been beamed in directly from 1984. Duran Duran had one of the most popular videos with Hungry Like the Wolf, filmed in Sri Lanka with an Indiana Jones vibe. Animotion was an L.A. group that so perfected the new sound that everyone thought they were British; their video was appropriately set around a swimming pool. Obsession was used in early 80s heartthrob, Christopher Atkins’ film, A Night In HeavenSteve Winwood had been around since he sang lead on the Spencer Davis Group’s Gimme Some Lovin’ in late 1966 and had been in Blind Faith and Traffic as well; it was great to see him make it again in the 80s. Robert Palmer’s Addicted To Love was very popular with its band of models made up like Patrick Nagel’s paintings of women (he did the cover of the Rio album). Palmer amped it up even further in his follow-up, Simply Irresistible.Two of the great party songs of the 80s are here with Wang Chung’s four minutes of total madness, Everybody Have Fun Tonight and Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, whose original video pushed the envelope a little too far and was never aired. The Irish-sounding Dexy’s Midnight Runners were actually from Birmingham and Madness had a sound more like UB40 before they made Our House. Somehow there’s still room for some Americans, including Rick Springfield (Jessie’s Girl was the #1 song in the country when MTV debuted), the J. Geils Band and the Stray Cats, who were part of an early 80s Rockabilly thing. Though Squeeze’s Tempted wasn’t a hit originally it’s been used so often in other media that’s it’s become an 80s standard. Unusually the lead vocal isn’t Glenn Tilbrook but keyboardist Paul Carrack.This is a great 80s collection for its length. It was released in 1999 when, under pressure from the internet, the labels decided to cooperate with each other for a change. You couldn’t have a collection like this in the past: each label would have put out their own collection. But after the experiment of Now That’s What I Call Music succeeded, they joined forces. Released by Universal, acts from many labels are here.

Love listening to my 80s music on the radio. Great product.

Nice and clear sound, plan on buying more to build my library

This CD collection is Extremely well done, and the singing and music are surprisingly excellent. However, None of it is by the original artists. It states that on the CD box, but I missed it somehow. That’s my fault, definitely. But just be aware of that if you are considering this collection.

The disc arrived undamaged (rare). It registers on all my players, so I know it’s authentic. Very good selection of songs.I recommend this disc.

This CD really has some great cuts — It spans one hit wonders and includes several more durable great bands too. No collection on one disc would ever be complete, but the great thing about this CD is that you get many of the songs you might want without having to spend on each album (what else did the Buggles do?). Starting with Video Killed the Radio Star, (the song first played on MTV), and ending with one of Squeeze’s strongest “Tempted”, the disc is entirely playable all the way through. You won’t be skipping songs (unless you can’t stand Culture Club, but yes they happened in the 80’s) -you’ll be singing along to the tunes if you love 80’s music. Hungry like the Wolf, Come on Eileen, etc, Madness’s Our House, all of these just catch your ears and heart and offer a really solid collection. There are 20 songs, and I just wish some of them were longer — Tainted Love is not the extended version (not the “Where did Our Love Go” remix). This CD is a great 80’s collection — one of the best I could find.

Another Great listening experience provided by Amazon!!!

Packing was professionally done, even with small padding around the CD. Received in the mail in pristine condition. Well done.

Great CD

Excelente álbum, llegó todo perfecto. Solo creo que el packaging del vinilo es un cartón de poco gramaje, pero lo demás es perfecto!

Arrived in a perfect condition, sounds great. Good pressing. The packaging is awesome, thanks Amazon!

Quick delivery

Came perfect

I am currently listening to it

The album itself is great. The remixes aren’t my thing, but I wanted ‘hello, goodbye’ included. So I chose this version of BRAT. The CD plays flawlessly- no complaints there. I wish I could say the same for the case. It has a small crack on the back, and a few pieces of plastic came off as I opened it. That being said, I am keeping it, because I already know this can happen with any CD case on Amazon. It is disappointing, but it is what it is.

buy it

No flowery review here, this is the best album of this type of music (trip-hop). If you don’t have it… get it, it is jus that good.

Great album. Excellent pressing.

Massive Attack is by and far my favorite band, and I enjoy all types of music, not just of the trip-hop genre. I only came across them 2 yrs ago and have been addicted to them ever since. My favorite album is Mezzanine but I can honestly say that I love each and every song they ever produced. Personal favorites are “Angel”, “Inertia Creeps,” “Mezzanine”, “Dissolved Girl”, “Black Milk”, “Heat Miser,” “Safe From Harm”, “Daydreaming”, “Blue Lines”,”Live with Me,” “Special Cases,”, and the list just keeps going on and on from there. I’ve been listening to their Collected Album for the past year in my car and I’m still not sick of it. Their music is simply undescribable and incredibly original. Robert “3D” Del Naja’s voice is sensational, incredibly sexy and can’t be compared to anyone else. Check out the track “Inertia Creeps” on the Mezzanine album and you’ll get a sense of what I’m talking about. Also their collaborations with various lead vocalists are simply awesome and smart, and there are many out there. While some of their songs may be considered “darker” than others, I have to say that all of their music puts me in a great mood, pumps me up and also helps me relax. Their most recent album Heligoland is definitely much different then their prior albums (but then again all MA albums are different; why I love them so much), and it took a little while getting used to. But after listening to it for a bit I became addicted to that album as well. The only album I don’t have is Blue Lines, which I just purchased, al though I’m familiar with all the tracks on the album. Bottom-line is Massive Attack is amazing and in my opinion so highly under-rated here in the states. You will never find another band out there quite like Massive Attack. Their sound is so unique and versatile and can’t be compared to other bands that share the trip-hop genre, such as Portishead, Morcheeba, Tricky, etc,. Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of these groups as well but their music is no where near as powerful and intense as Massive Attack (in my opinion). I recommmend any and all of MA’s albums to anyone who enjoys refreshing, original music, and music that can’t be categorized as falling into one particular genre, but rather an incredible blend of trip hop, alternative hip hop, experimental rock, down-tempo hip-hop, soul, reggae, even classical music.Ok so if you’re not familiar with MA’s music you are seriously missing out, so I highly recommend that you expose yourself to them already; I guarantee you will not be dissapointed. I suggest you start out with their Collected Album as the compilation will give you an overall sense of their sound; if not that album you can’t go wrong with Mezzanine, it’s their best!

This album changed the game. It’s a trip hop masterpiece and no other record puts me in the mood that this one does. It’s simultaneously bizarre, beautiful, sexy, and smooth, all while being experimental.

ok, first off – I didn’t use the following option, but it’s AWESOME: the vendor had the consideration to provide a download to keep you patient while you wait for your shipment to arrive. I already had a high grade mp3 and just wanted the record for better sound, but I LOVE the idea that they’re doing this for albums I DON’T already have.Second off – get a subwoofer. get some good speakers. If you’re listening to this on a record player, you want the most out of it.This is one of the best albums to hit the human ear. Hit it loud. Hit it clear.

This album is a lot more dark and mysterious than their two previous releases, and I’m more attracted to this kind of sound that what they’ve produced in the past. Don’t get me wrong, I love “Unfinished Sympathy” and the cool vibes of their ballad “Protection”, but something about the creepy mystique of “Mezzanine” makes me want to listen more closely to the slow, synthesized harmonies and sledgehammer beats. It has the flair of an understated party filled with second-hand smoke and empty martini glasses.It’s cool and mellow with the expected sensual ballads that Massive Attack produces with the greatest of ease, but there’s a blend of new voices, including Elizabeth Fraser from the techno-pop group Cocteau Twins.There are notable selections on this CD that will stick with you the first time you listen to them. First and foremost, the sultry tune titled “Teardrop”, Elizabeth Fraser leading the way with her whispery, nymph-like vocals. Then there’s the laid-back instrumental “Exchange”, a electronic martini for the soul with a cut from an old Isaac Hayes tune. You lay back and literally “chill” when you listen to this tune. The brief reprisal at the end features Robert Del Naja’s nasal chords and jagged vibrato, the perfect compliment to the heavy bass and whirling synthesizers. This is a highly recommended album, even for skeptical MA fans. And for those that have listened already, give it another shot. It will grow on you.
