Another Great Collection by GIT

I figured this wouldn't be bad - I'm a Star Trek:TNG fan and have bought GIT's comic book collections.

Here's the surprise - some of the comics on here are really good. The Golden Key comics are mostly terrible, but the DC ST:TNG comics (and there are others in here to, though they vary in writing and art quality) are really high quality. I could've imagined several of them being actual episodes.

As usual, GIT does a great job with the scans and goes an extra step - including not just the original comics, but also any graphic novels the collected the comics - which are especially nice when you're reading some of the DC ones.

All in all, well worth the price of admission. Definite purchase for anyone that likes TNG.

I love this collection of stories. I think spooky PI Dean Murphy is one of Gischler's best characters. The stories were quirky, fast paced and just plain fun to read! The stories read like a PI version of the X-files, full of bimbo's, dwarves, changelings, werewolves, vampires and more. I would love to read more stories with these characters!
I highly recommend this book! Great job Victor!

This is just one album of one of the best collections of Disney music that's out there. Usually when Disney puts an album out, it normally only contains hit songs from their best selling films. However, this collection doesn't just draw from the films. It also draws from their attractions and even much lesser known or forgotten films (or even sometimes their old Disney shorts from about thirty to forty years prior). Plus usually on most albums there are normally only about sixteen or maybe even eightteen songs, while this entire collection has twenty-five songs on each album (which is five albums in total) with no songs edited. In additionally each album also has excellent sound quality and is very enjoyable. It's also worth a mention that there are all different types of songs sung by all different types of characters. Some are princesses, some are heros, some are side-characters, some are young characters, some are old characters and some are villains. And that's not just for this volume either. It's for every volume. Just some of the beloved songs that this volume has inculde Toy Story's popluar hit You've Got A  Friend In Me, The Jungle Book's slyly sinisterly lallubye Trust In Me to Robin Hood's chatchy opening number Oo-De-Lally. If your looking for something a little more romantic there's always Bella Notte from Lady and the Tramp or if you need something more rambunctious there's always The Jungle Book's I Wanna Be Like You. If you're feeling a little blue take a listen to Jack's Lament from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas or if you need something more fast-paste, domineering, angry, selfish, manipulative and downright dark then check-out The Mob Song from Beauty And the Beast and lastly don't forget to listen to Family from James And the Giant Peach (it's a real sweetie). And, those are just some of the really great and enjoyable tracks on this album. Plus like as mentioned before all of the albums in this collection have amazing sound quality with the non-edited orginal versions of all of the songs from diverse branches of the company and you get a lot more from this collection then most others. So with-out an other word, don't forget to check-out the Classic Disney Volume Series: Sixty Years of Musical Magic becuase it's pure excellence!

This is a GREAT collection! Just CD 1 is worth the price alone. I bought this volume several years ago and lent it to a friend who accidentally cracked it. I'm glad I was able to replace it! If you're a heavy metal/hard rock fan, buy this and you'll be glad you did.

Good collection of Gaiman's work, though I hate getting books with short stories I've already read in other collections. Still, if you like his work, you will not be disappointed with both the variety and quality of stories.

Wonderful collection of work by a too-underrated and nearly unknown artist. Campbell is credited with being the first black American with a syndicated strip, but more important he's a good cartoonist/artist period. There's a lovely looseness and energy to his style and his women (almost all white, which couldn't have been as easy or fun for him) are nicely proportioned without being overt, funny without being demeaning, graceful yet humorous. I hope he gets more of the recognition he deserves, not for his race for his work.

This is truly an amazing collection containing 14 of the Master's films, most of them from his later so-called "Golden Period."  Unless you're a Hitchcock completionist, it's likely that you would be more than satisfied with this box set, perhaps supplemented by Strangers on a Train and North by Northwest, which are owned by Warner Bros. and thus not included in this Universal collection.

While not every film in this set is a "winner," they are all at least worth a look.  Not to mention that four of them are absolute masterpieces -- Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds -- and that the price of purchasing those four separately is roughly equal to the current price of the entire boxset.  Shadow of a Doubt, Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Marnie, and Frenzy are also all worth owning in my view, and it's worth it to purchase the entire set for those nine films alone, and then you get five others as bonus features, not to mention the extra material on all the discs.

Video quality is great, with all the widescreen films finally made anamorphic.  With regards to the The Man Who Knew Too Much, I've never seen the old disc and am unable to compare, but, while it's not as sterling a transfer as Vertigo, it still looks fine on my 32" Samsung LCD.

You can get marginally better transfers for Vertigo, Psycho, and Rear Window through the recent 2-disc Universal Legacy releases, but the additional extras provided in those sets seem superfluous, with episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and a new featurette or two.  What's here is more than adequate and presented quite stylishly within the red velvet case, which is slightly larger than I was led to believe knowing that the discs were housed 4 to a case, but it still fits fine on my shelf.  Some care will be required due to the way the discs are situated inside these cases, but they fit snugly when popped into place, and as long as you don't toss them inside like frisbees they should be just fine.

All-in-all, this is really a superb value.

This is a great collection just for the songs themselves.  Even better, the whole song is included, not just a verse or maybe two.  And the lyrics are clear, important for aging memories.  I look forward to sharing the whole set with my grandchildren.

After reading every book Ivan Coyote has published, I have to say that this was another great collection of short stories.  Coyote is a story teller in the truest sense and her stories are always brilliantly formed and entertaining.  If you are familiar with and love Coyote's other collections of short stories, this one won't disappoint.  Some of these stories will be familiar to regular readers of Coyote's column in Xtra but they have been reworked in many cases so it doesn't seem repetitive, but polished.  I enjoyed this collection and recommend the book.

As a long time Beatles fan, it's unlikely that I wouldn't like such a collection!  There are good songs here and nice segments of conversation.

Much has already been said about this collection.  The sellection of Bugs Bunny cartoons was excellent.  Disk #4 by itself makes this a worthwhile purchase.  I appreciated the inclusion of several older cartoons, which are not often seen on TV anymore.

Hopefully volume 3 will include more of the classic Porky cartoons in Black and white.

Maybe it's just that I'm a rabid Air Supply fan, but I absolutely love this collection.  I initially bought it for just one song (I Can't Believe My Eyes) after hearing it on Mannequin 2 (yeah, I know, who admits to watching that?).

When I got the disks, though, I was thrilled to find that there were other songs I didn't already have, and there's not a bad one on the entire set.  Of course, I expected this because I love all of Air Supply's songs, but it was still a nice surprise.  It also includes all the classics, so it's a great volume for an Air Supply newbie to start out with.

Right up front, let me say that I'm quite pleased with this collection.

I've picked up many of the Greenberg collections over the years and I'm almost always quite pleased with them--a solid collection of ten or more stories (this book has 16) stories by writers famous and new focused on a particular topic.  In this particular case the focus is on "love stories" set in a steampunk universe.

As one might expect there are hits and misses, but the good thing about a book like this is that if a story isn't working for you it's easy to skip to the next one.  Overall I liked 13 of these stories quite a bit and found a couple of them very innovative (there's one about an adventurer in a dirigible looking for a magical city that's quite well done).

Some of the stories are "barely" steampunk and there seems to be a heavy emphasis on either airships or geared automatons rather like the one in the movie Hugo, but leaving that aside this is a great collection.

Highly recommended for any lover of good steampunk stories.

I had borrowed this set from a friend of mine a few years ago so I was familiar with it to start with. With the price having come down a bit I decided to get a copy for myself. Anyone who is a fan of George would be happy with this addition to their collection of his music. Reading a bit, I don't think there's anything planned for the near future that would get you all this content with any better quality and packaging. The box is beautiful, the remastered CD's are great and the extras (though there could be more) are a plus. The DVD is enjoyable and brings back memories of MTV when they actually showed music videos. All in all a fine collection. George deserves another go round of someone pouring over what must be hours and hours of stuff in the Archives but for now this set suits me fine. My Beatle collection goes back to the Newspaper from Sunday Morning stating "The Beatles on Ed Sullivan Tonight!" so I'm no "Run of the Mill" Beatle fan. (Pun Intended).
I have most all their stuff together and solo on Vinyl and CD including the Mobile Fidelity Masters Box Set on Vinyl, The Blue Box LP Set, The 45's Set, the 2009 Re-Masters, The New Lennon Signature Box and the recent McCartney Remasters on CD and Vinyl along with All Things Must Pass 30th Anniversary on CD and Vinyl and 40th Anniversary on Vinyl and Hi-Res Downloadable files. Oh yeah, and about 11 different releases of "The White Album". Seems that joke from the movie "Men In Black" is not far from the truth as far as the White Album goes. Enjoy the "Dark Horse Years" Hari Fans!

These songs are from a multitude of locations that someone had spent a ton of time, effort and money to compile.

Many are pulled from his movies and would be next to impossible for you or I to get our hands on. Duets with The Andrews Sisters on Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is great to hear. Jerry Lewis is funny as always. Dean made over 50 movies ...so there is much material to choice from. Some of his 'live' night club act stuff is here too.

Wonderful music here and it's hard see how anyone that loves or even just likes Martin could give this less than 5 stars!

The sound quality is actually very good and remember some of these tracts are over 60 years old now and pulled from movie tapes. I loved this stuff!

Buy it...

I AM A HUGE SHERLOCK HOLMES FAN AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS CD COLLECTION.

I CAN SAY IT IS WORTH IT.

This Box Set collection is worth penny. Yes it has 4 CD's but my goodness what a complete collection they didn't leave one song out. Definately a worthy purchase. I was completing my "Greatest Hits" collection (see my listmania list) and one of my pet peeves with a lot of the Greatest Hits CD's they some how manage not to put all of the Hits on it.
I also recommend in addition to this one Paul McCartneys "All the Best" CD that is another one packed with all of your favorites.
