Platinum Collection, Vol. 1-3

Compact Disc

by Queen

Full title: Greatest Hits I, II & III: The Platinum Collection. Queen: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon. Additional personnel: Elton John, George Michael, David Bowie, Montserrat Caballe (vocals); Wyclef Jean, Pras (rap vocals). Producers include: Queen, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, David Richards, Mike Moran. Recorded between 1974 & 1997. Includes liner notes by Jim Jenkins, Jacky Smith, Andy Davis, Phil Symes. All tracks have been digitally remastered. With Queen officially enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, Hollywood Records reintroduces the band yet again with the release of GREATEST HITS I, II & III. While Volumes I and II are full of Queen classics you already know by heart, the third cobbles together odds and sods from the far corners of Queen's canon along with solo cuts from Freddie Mercury and Brian May. Opening with the operatic rock classic "Bohemian Rhapsody," it's easy to hear not only how this British quartet achieved the kind of global acclaim that ensured they'd be enshrined alongside the likes of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. When they weren't dabbling in playful '50s-flavored rock & roll ("Crazy Little Thing Called Love"), catchy glam ("Killer Queen"), or hard-edged funk ("Another One Bites The Dust"), Queen was capable of delivering heartfelt love letters ("You're My Best Friend"). The band's '80s output is equally intriguing, ranging from the hard-hitting "Headlong" to duets with David Bowie ("Under Pressure") and soaring movie anthems ("One Vision"). The third volume features more movie themes ("Princes Of The Universe"), Freddie Mercury covering The Platters ("The Great Pretender"), and cameos by contemporary artists like Wyclef Jean, George Michael and Elton John.

Whiskypedia: A Compendium of Scottish Whisky

by Charles MacLean

Online Price: $22.50

Hardcover

by Charles MacLean

Why does Scotch whisky taste like it does? Where do the flavors come from? How might they have changed over the years? The flavor of Scotch whisky is as much influenced by history, craft, and tradition as it is by science. Individual distilleries give their whiskies unique characteristics. These characteristics do not arise magically (as was once thought), nor are they solely the result of the region (as is still thought, by some). They have their roots in the craft and custom of the distillery and of the district in which it is located, but the key influences upon flavor are the distilling equipment itself, how it is operated, and how the spirit is matured. Whiskypedia explores these influences. For the first time, the flavor and character of every malt whisky distilled in Scotland is explored with reference to how it is made. Introductory sections provide an historical overview, an examination of regional differences, and an explanation of the contribution made by each stage of the production process. This compendium is a comprehensive guide to all the distilleries in Scotland (both malt and grain). Each entry provides a brief account of the distillery’s history and curiosities, lists the bottlings which are currently available, details how the whisky is made, and explores the flavor and character of each make. Malt whisky is the quintessential “spirit of place,” and this element of the story has been captured by John MacPherson''s camera in specially commissioned images which compliment the text. 150 color illustrations See Details

The Who Treasures

Trade Paperback

by Chris Welch

The Who defined a generation and rocked the world. "My Generation," "Pinball Wizard," and "Baba O'Riley" are some of the most iconic tracks in rock history. The rock opera Tommy, the genre-defining Live at Leeds, and the R&B classic Quadrophenia are just some of The Who's albums. The band's original lineup had an amazing 15-year run, as they blazed their way around the globe, performing live and recording until the death of drummer Keith Moon in 1978. John Entwhistle died in 2002, but remaining founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend continue to tour. Treasures of The Who takes you on the journey with the band as they conquered the world: from small London clubs to Madison Square Garden, from seven-inch vinyl releases to multimillion-selling albums, all the way to recognition as global rock gods. The text has been researched and written by Chris Welch, the legendary English journalist who was close to the band, and it is accompanied by images from many of the best contemporary photographers. There are also removable facsimiles of stunning, super-rare memorabilia from one of the biggest collections around. It adds up ta a unique experience: the story of The Who in your hands. See Details

Quadrophenia

Online Price: $26.52

Ships in 1 - 2 weeks

Compact Disc

by The Who

Quadrophenia has been reissued before, including a notably remixed version in 1996, but it has never been expanded. The 2011 "Director’s Cut" makes up for lost time by offering two different expanded editions of the album (presented in its 1996 remix): a double-disc edition rounded out with 11 demos -- all performed solo by Pete Townshend, two of which are songs that didn’t make the final cut -- and a Super Deluxe Edition that adds an early version of the album comprised entirely of Townshend demos, a DVD containing 5.1 mixes from selected songs from the album, and a host of extras highlighted by a 100-page hardcover book featuring many photos, memorabilia from Townshend’s archive, lyrics, and a new, lengthy essay from Pete. While the double-disc edition is quite a handsome thing in its own right -- the two discs may be split at an odd point, between “Drowned” and “Bell Boy,” the latter the last song on side three on the original album; the demos more than make up for this quirk -- the Super Deluxe Edition is something special thanks to the alternate version of Quadrophenia, which contains six songs cut from the final album, several containing story lines and characters excised from the narrative. Some of these songs stand on their own merits -- particularly “We Close Tonight,” which popped up in a full Who version on the expanded Odds & Sods, and “Joker James” -- and the overall album is stronger without them, and that’s part of what makes this rough draft so compelling: it provides insight into Townshend’s creative process as he sculpted, edited, and crafted this complex concept album. Also, hearing Quadrophenia as solo recordings from Townshend -- he’s responsible for every sound here, all the guitars, drums, piano, and analog synths -- underlines the autobiography at its core, pushing his vulnerability and passion to the center. Some of these recordings have shown up elsewhere, either on Pete’s Scoop collections or bootlegs, but context counts: having these demos assembled as a full album gives them weight and force that will prove to be undeniable to any hardcore Who fan. It’s such an enveloping experience that they may be able to forgive the occasional oddities and frustrations elsewhere in the Super Deluxe Edition -- most notably that DVD, which puzzlingly contains only eight highlights, not the full album, something that’s bound to frustrate anybody shelling out over 100 dollars for this box -- because what is Quadrophenia, anyway, other than a celebration of our human imperfections? ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine See Details

Compact Disc

by The Rolling Stones

During the mid-'70s, the Rolling Stones remained massively popular, but their records suffered from Jagger's fascination with celebrity and Keith's worsening drug habit. By 1978, both punk and disco had swept the group off the front pages, and Some Girls was their fiery response to the younger generation. Opening with the disco-blues thump of "Miss You," Some Girls is a tough, focused, and exciting record, full of more hooks and energy than any Stones record since Exile on Main St. Even though the Stones make disco their own, they never quite take punk on their own ground. Instead, their rockers sound harder and nastier than they have in years. Using "Star Star" as a template, the Stones run through the seedy homosexual imagery of "When the Whip Comes Down," the bizarre, borderline-misogynistic vitriol of the title track, Keith's ultimate outlaw anthem, "Before They Make Me Run," and the decadent closer, "Shattered." In between, they deconstruct the Temptations' "(Just My) Imagination," unleash the devastatingly snide country parody "Far Away Eyes," and contribute "Beast of Burden," one of their very best ballads. Some Girls may not have the backstreet aggression of their '60s records or the majestic, drugged-out murk of their early-'70s work, but its brand of glitzy, decadent hard rock still makes it a definitive Stones album. The joke goes like this: all the bonus material for Some Girls wound up on Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You, the two records that succeeded it, both heavily reliant on tracks started during the Some Girls sessions. Hardcore Stones collectors know that this isn’t entirely true -- “Claudine,” a nasty near-libelous three-chord boogie about Claudine Longet’s shooting of her boyfriend Spider Sabich, frequently circulated on bootlegs -- but it didn’t seem like there would be enough completed unheard material to fill out the 12-track bonus disc included in this 2011 Deluxe Edition. Turns out that assumption was wrong. Part excavated original outtakes, part recently completed in 2011 by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Don Was, this bonus disc plays like a complete, coherent companion to the original album, touching upon the same sleaze, down-and-dirty boogie, citified country, and blues as the original. What’s missing is the downtown disco that fueled “Miss You” but it’s not missed, partially because the Glimmer Twins and Was have gotten much better at blurring the lines between the past and present, so the whole record feels as of one piece. Listen closely and there are occasionally some giveaway tics in Mick’s vocals that date them as a recent vintage, but there are no cuts that sound like latter-day Stones, the way “Following the River” did on the Exile on Main St. bonus disc, nor are there alternates or early versions of beloved songs. Without these, Some Girls' bonus disc feels like an actual album and it’s filled with terrific moments: the aforementioned “Claudine” and its filthy cousin “So Young,” Keith's mournful reading of Waylon Jennings’ “We Had It All” and a careening version of Hank Williams’ “You Win Again,” the blues “When You’re Gone” and “Keep Up Blues,” the straight-ahead rocker “I Love You Too Much” and its poppy counterpart “Do You Think I Really Care,” a raucous “Tallahassee Lassie,” all capped off by the ragged Mick at the piano throwaway “Petrol Blues.” Cagey as ever, the Stones hide which of these are full-fledged outtakes and which are recent refurbishments very well, but ultimately it doesn’t matter: this is a tremendous expansion of a classic album by every measure. [The Super Deluxe Edition contains a bonus DVD -- featuring music videos and a teaser of the simultaneously released Some Girls: Live in Texas '78 video -- a 7" single of “Miss You,” a hardcover book, and plenty of bonus material, including postcards and prints and a poster.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine See Details

Exile on Main St.

by The Rolling Stones

Online Price: $141.65

In Stock

Compact Disc

by The Rolling Stones

Legendary as it may be, Exile on Main St. presents a challenge for deluxe remastered reissues. Much of its myth lies in its murk, how its dense, scuzzy sound is the quintessential portrait of rock stars in decadent isolation, the legend bleeding into its creation so thoroughly it is impossible, and unnecessary, to separate one from the other. Without this nearly tactile sound, Exile wouldn’t be Exile, so remastering the record is a tricky business because it should not be too clean. The remaster on the 2010 reissue -- available in a myriad of editions containing variations of a single-disc remaster and a second disc expanded with ten unreleased tracks - doesn’t quite avoid that trap. When “Rocks Off” kicks off the record, what was previously dulled like aged silver is now is too bright: Mick Jagger’s vocals leap and the keyboards ring clearly. Because this is Exile on Main St., a record recorded in a decaying French mansion, it’s impossible to scrape all the grime away from its layers, but the overall impression is that the original master tapes are now presented in high definition: it’s possible to hear what most individual instruments are doing on each track, which may lead for a greater appreciation of the Stones' monumental musicianship, but it’s somewhat at the expense of the album’s mystique. Another pitfall in the plans for this deluxe expansion: there aren’t a whole lot of completed unreleased songs. The Stones had a habit of working leftovers from the prior album into a finished product, sometimes taking years to complete a song -- a practice that resulted in great songs but not much left in the vaults. Which isn’t to say there was nothing left behind from Exile’s sessions: the Stones were living where they were recording, so they produced an enormous amount of music, working out the kinks in a song (represented here by alternate takes of “Loving Cup” and a Keith Richards-sung “Soul Survivor”), or wholly reworking an existing song as they did with the loose-limbed “Good Time Women,” which was later revised as “Tumbling Dice.” On occasion, they completed a song that didn’t make the cut, such as “I’m Not Signifying,” a heavily bootlegged shambolic blues that is just about as good as anything on the finished album, but usually they created instrumental beds designed to be completed later with vocals. In this particular case, a handful of these tracks were completed much, much later, with the band finishing up the songs some 38 years later for this deluxe edition. A great deal of attention was paid to making the new additions relatively seamless, with the band going so far as to bring in the long-departed guitarist Mick Taylor for some overdubs. If the end results don’t quite feel as thick as Exile, they nevertheless do feel remarkably like the classic Taylor era. Apart from “Following the River” -- a drowsy piano ballad that tries to rouse itself to blues-gospel -- these are good, sometimes excellent songs, particularly the loose, hip-shaking “Dancing in the Light” and the charging “Plundered My Soul.” At first it's hard not to stare at these hybrid tracks with skepticism, particularly because they’re eating up room that could have been used for other alternate takes, or perhaps the instrumentals themselves, or the occasional bootlegged song that didn’t make the cut, such as “Blood Red Wine,” but once that suspicion fades, you’re left with a handful of very good additions to the Stones songbook -- songs that don’t hold a candle to Exile but are remarkable re-creations of Taylor-era rock & roll, songs that could easily have been slid onto It’s Only Rock 'N Roll, when the group was easing into their grooves, confident that they were the greatest rock & roll band on earth. Finally, the Super Deluxe Edition is only of interest to those with cash to burn. Containing both CDs, the Super Deluxe is housed in an LP-sized, hardbound slipcover the contains a vinyl pressing of Exile and a hardcover book, plus a DVD that, according to the back cover, contains the new documentary Stones in Exile, the concert film Ladies & Gentlemen The Rolling Stones, and the long-bootlegged Robert Frank film C*********’s Blues. It promises a great deal and delivers considerably less so, particularly the DVD, which only contains excerpts of those three films for a program that runs a grand total of 30 minutes. All the media is housed in the vinyl’s gatefold sleeve, which is given an extra panel with slots for the three discs -- a well-intentioned touch that’s unintentionally cumbersome. And while the book is handsome, containing plenty of Dominique Tarle’s myth-making photos from the sessions and pictures of memorabilia, it is difficult to read as all the text is contained in short inserts near the spine; clearly, this was a book to gaze upon and not read. Surely, this has plenty for a Stones fanatic to enjoy, but it’s difficult to not look at each element and wish it was done with a little more care, particularly at the price point at which it’s offered. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine See Details
