Hold on - isn't this a Lighthouse Family record?

A very decent first release for Tunde! It is still very much Lighthouse Family-ish and if I had just heard one of these songs on the radio (which would never have happened anyway) before I got the album, I would never had known this was Tunde on his own.

My favourite song on here is "Great Romantic". Very very catchy indeed! Some of the other better songs on here are "Passing The Hours", "Letting Me Down Gently" and "I Have Never Walked Alone" - which suspiciously sounds very much like "You Always Want What You Haven't Got" from Lighthouse Family's "Whatever Gets You Through The Day" album. And how anyone could write such beautiful lyrics about a mundane topic like "Anaesthetic" surely goes to prove that Tunde is doing something right!

However, that said, I still don't really like "Our History" and "I Can't Make This World Disappear". But hey, eight quality songs out of ten isn't that bad - and not like those two are really that unbearable either.

If you're a Lighthouse Family fan or just want a collection of easy listening songs for those days you need to unwind, get this album.

I recently contacted Fantasy Jazz Records in Berkley CA to inquire about these JP reissues, and was told they have a contract with JVC that allows them to lease and remaster from the origional tapes!! So it's not from an unknown source, but the price is an issue. My advice is to go with the domestic recent reissue /remaster; save $30 bucks and get the good sound. O, and the record is a classic, one that many consider to be a bench mark in Arts career at Contemporary Records. jb

Amazon is incorrectly listing the vinyl release of Wasting Light.

The actual Wasting Light Vinyl is a full size 2 LP set with 4 sides of music set at 45 rpm speeds. This is unusual because usually only singles and small 7 inch records are 45rpm speeds. While it does to appear intentional that Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters decided to record at the faster 45 rpm speed on a full size set of LPs, Amazon is not noting this at all.

That said do not buy this vinyl copy unless you have a high end vintage record player capable of playing both 33 1/3 and 45 rpms and make sure that player is tested to play these uncommon 45 full sizes. The "new usb" players tend to struggle keeping up the faster speed of a full length 45 and vintage restored ones may be sold as "working" but lack ability to consistently keep the 45 speed needed for this record.

Additionally the Amazon track listing is incorrect as the vinyl version is 4 sides not 2 sides.

Do not buy this particular record on vinyl from Amazon unless you have a record player that you know can play full size 45s.

CAUTION, I don't think it is a legit release. If you look at the cover the name of the group is wrong. Look at some other Classics IV releases instead of this one, plenty of really nice legal stuff out there. This one, not so much.

What a record!  For those who actually enjoy true country music, you have to buy this album.  I heard the single "Don't Try To Find Me" on the radio and my jaw dropped open.  Even though the single rocks, it still does not bring out the true color of this record.  It makes you want to ride around with the windows down, shoot pool with the boys, dance with the girls, and all the while having a nice, ice cold beer.
Have you bought this record?  If no, why?

I can't say enough about the record.  There are no bad songs on this record.  Was it worth 10 years?  I would say yes, but I have to think Kevin could have put this out years earlier.  That being said I would urge anyone who likes the group or likes shoegazing music or just wants to check out this band to grab loveless first and then grab this.  P.S.  my favorite track if I had to pick one is "If I Am."

I bought this CD thru Amazon.. unfortuneately I had not delved thourghly enough into the reviews. What I received was NOT the Capitol recording of "The Shearing Touch"...but a facsimile.

I am told that that LP is unfortuneately, out of print!

Everything necessary has been said about this album except maybe that it's a 45rpm album not a 33rpm.  If you don't have a quick switch to your belt turntable then this will be annoying to you, as it is to me.  I didn't see it listed, but life goes on.

Great record. If you're into marine biology, or mixing weird records, or both...give it a shot. Yiu can always trade it to some hipster for something else if you're not into it.

This is a *new* record and should be treated as such. This record is a collection of snapshots (frozen frames in "Gold Dust") from Ms. Amos' life.

This is in no way, shape, or form a 'greatest hits' record. It is a look back at 20-some-odd years with a very present context and classical composition.

I love it very much already. It's a look back at my life too - every bit of it.

Thank you, yet again, T.

P.S. The packaging is top-drawer. It would be a wonderful gift for anyone who loves good music.

This is a review for the vinyl edition of Life Is a Grave and I Dig It. I love the actual album itself, and finally decided to get it on vinyl. I ordered it and when it arrived(very quickly thanks to Amazon Prime) I found out it was a picture disc. I personally don't care for picture discs, and this would have most likely factored into my decision had I known. After I researched it more I found out that this album was only on vinyl in picture disc form, so I've got no other options. I will add a picture of this product to the customer picture section to better inform future customers.

I agree that it's disapointing that the original LP hasn't been reissued -- I imagine Buckner and Garcia wish it would be, too. The fact is, though, for some reason Sony/CBS is sitting on it, so this is the best that we can do. Viewed in that light, I don't think this qualifies as a rip-off. The guys have stuck to 80s style arrangements. There is no attempt to "update" the sound. Yes, the vocals are showing some wear, yes there are some variations. But the simple fact is, this thing is still a total gas.

I found this is a re-packaged of Old'or Music Company, of their 2004 Memories of... and another re-pack of Excellence Music Company set called '26 Golden Oldies' also from 2004. Plus DA Music released the very same set as 'Orange Range' in 2007. Any more...no doubt!

No value here really. I have one of these 2004 set already, so really no value here. All music is early Bee Gees sstuff.

Save Your Money...

This album sounds amazing on vinyl, but for whatever reason they split the album into 2 records. I may be mistaken, but I'm almost positive this album is short enough to fit on one. Having 2 records means having to change sides every 10 minutes.

Of the magnificence of the playing there can be little question, and the recordings themselves are quite beyond reproach for the most part. One minor cavil, however: this collection claims to be the complete Philips recordings of Brendel, yet the booklet mentions that a previously unreleased recording of the Brahms Handel Variations (a work not otherwise evident in the Brendel discography and in any case certainly not represented in this set) will be forthcoming in 2016, as will an unreleased Schumann Piano Concerto with Simon Rattle conducting . Great news, to be sure,  but why didn't they just include these in the current set and get it over with? It's not as if Philips/Decca didn't know about them in time. Now anyone desiring the truly Complete Brendel on Philips will have to buy these additional recordings. Who knows, perhaps other unreleased Philips recordings will trickle out over the next few years? A bit disingenuous on the part of the manufacturer, don't you think?

This is an inexplicable mistake of the record label, Ace Records. In fact these 12 recordings were a part of Show 2 recorded live at The Palomino, Hollywood, California, in June 18, 1979, and were originally issued as&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/the-vinyl-album-SCR-785-Six-of-One-Half-Dozen-of-the-Other-Recorded-Live-in-Concert/dp/B002FOQY22/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">the vinyl album SCR 785 "Six of One, Half Dozen of the Other: Recorded Live in Concert"</a>.

This record was produced in the late 40s as both an LP (one of the first) and originally as a set of 12" 78 rpm records.  Those five records were the ten bands on the LP, the previous reviewer is apparently unaware of this (I'm sure also sincere).  This seller is entitled to have the record set straight (ha)
