Disappointing........2007-04-02

We read all the previous reviews and thought this disc would be a keeper. We (my husband, three kids 14, 10, and 5) tried it on a warm, spring evening in the car. One or two songs, like the Banana Splits, Speed Racer, and Scooby-Doo were fun. Most however, were harsh, and too fast for the parents and youngest guy.
I would rather try these songs in their original state and skip the covers.

All the songs you remember.. with a twist.......2006-07-10

Great CD with songs you remember as a kid. I really got it because of the "Tra La La" Song from the Banana Splits, but all the others are great re-makes; Hong Kong Phooey, Scooby Doo, Stop the Pigeon, Fat Albert's Theme, Spiderman.. and others.

JUNK.......2006-06-05

If you're looking for soundtrack recordings, DO NOT GET THIS!! It's nothing but sick, annoying, noisy, GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great for the young and the old!.......2006-05-25

I've had this CD since it's release! LOVED it then, still love it! I think the covers are GREAT! Better than the originals, makes for much more fun reliving the cartoons I grew up on! I had recently purchased a copy for my friends son, who LOVES it, and since has been learning to play guitar! I would like to see more CD's like this quality and caliber of bands to attract the young ones who are our future rockstars!

A terrific compilation.......2002-06-08

The idea of a greatest hits album for a classical composer is nearly an absurdity,but the selections for this package are almost perfect.The signature magic sound of Ormandy and his great Philly Orchestra open with Symphony 4 movement 1.Ormandy and crew reappear later with the war march from Athalie-a true crowd pleaser.Not to be missed is the On wings of song piece sung by Elly Ameling in all her pristine glory.The song is simply beautiful beyond words.Movements 3&4 of the Incomparable Octet for strings are included. At the tender age of 16 Mendelssohn may have reached his peak with this work.The 6 Children's pieces are delightful,if insubstantial.The 4th movement of the 5th Symphony is a force of nature,perhaps the highlight of the disc.The only quibble is the inclusion of the hackneyed Wedding March instead of the achingly gorgeous Nocturne from A Midsummer Night's Dream.Even for the Mendelssohn fan there are performances here you'll want to add to your collection.At such a low cost you cannot go wrong.

Good starter collection of Wagner.......2006-10-02

This selection of Wagner's "Greatest Hits" is a great CD, with a good selection, overall, or Wagner's most representative work, and very good sound quality. The recordings are all by famous orchestras and conductors--including Eugene Ormandy, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops--and the sound is terrific. Listen to this CD on a good stereo.

The tracks themselves represent some of Wagner's best work. "Chor der Pilger" from the opera Tannhäuser is sung in an English translation, but this doesn't detract from the power of the music itself. Of course, there are the requisite tracks of "Siegfrieds Rheinreise" and the "Walkürenritt," or "Ride of the Valkyries;" both of which are very good, and having both on the same CD is nice.

Highly recommended for anyone who likes Wagner or classical music in general. Again: listen to this on a good sound system.

This is the better of the two Wagner Greatest Hits CDs.......2001-08-08

It is certainly hard to appreciate Richard Wagner's musical genius through a Greatest Hits collection since his greatest strength was in achieving a heightened dramatic and musical unity in his operas through the use of leitmotifs, i.e., themes that presents the different characters and moods of the musical drama. So if you truly want to appreciate Wagner, you want to listen to Tannhauser or make your way through the entire Ring Cycle. Still, this CD offers you a decent introduction to Wagner's music offering up the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin and "The Ride of the Valkyries" from Die Walkure. Furthermore, of the two Wagner Greatest Hit collections this is the superior one because it includes the "Pilgrim's Chorus" from Tannhauser, which may be the second most famous piece by Wagner after the Bridal Chorus because of a certain Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd cartoon. These things are important.

One wonders who troublesome Death Row kingpin Suge Knight is addressing in the liners to the 2 CD Death Row Greatest Hits package when he notes: "Rap is a style wherein a combination of talking, as well as singing, is set to hip-hop music." Uh, given that the booklet also features sales figures for assorted DR smashes (five million for Snoop Doggy Dogg's Doggystyle, four million for Dr. Dre's The Chronic, six million for 2Pac's All Eyez on Me, and so forth), it would seem that more than a few folks are aware of this thing Suge calls "rap." Musically, maybe the "N," "B," "M," and "F" words aren't your thing, but when the history of '90s pop music is written, Death Row will warrant a chapter. And, as anthologies go, this one's murderous. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

This is a Tight Compilation...but..........2005-11-14

If you really want to have Death Row's Greatest hits, you jsut need to go out and pick up "The Chronic", "DoggyStyle", & "All Eyez on Me". That's Deathrows greatest...No questions asked!

This is a strong compilation of West Coast rap! .......2004-09-20

Even though Death Row Records is not as dominant as it once was, you have to commend them for making challenging West Coast rap hits. This greatest hits album proves that and Disc 1 has all those massive hits by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Dogg Pound and some other artists on that label. The street themes, while shocking and violent in most parts, are understandable in these songs. You have been warned, so be cautious when you hear this album. Disc 2 is good too, but not as strong as Disc 1. They wanted to get that album out for the holiday season in 1996, so they packed a lot of songs on it. The shocker is 2Pac's dissing of Mobb Deep and Notorious B.I.G. on Hit 'em Up. This song wasn't necessary and 2Pac's anger is painfully obvious in that song. But the gangsta sounds and live feel of most songs here are what drive this collection. Althought most of the former artists left the label, I feel that Death Row can rebound if they can find a good artist who has that "it" factor for their label. A very sprawling and danceable collection of West Coast rap in their highest early '90s glory!!!!

what the hell?.......2003-10-27

This CD would be 5 stars except what the hell are these old 2Pac songs doing on here? Keep Ya Head Up, Me Against the World, I Get Around, and Dear Mama are great songs but they are not Death Row songs. What idiot decided to add these on here? The only Death Row 2Pac song on here is Hit Em Up. Why didn't they add 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, California Love, and Hail Mary, etc. instead? The four 2Pac songs on here aren't anything like the other songs and are not Death Row so it makes no sense to include them, not to mention No Vaseline by Ice Cube, which I have no idea why it was included. All the other songs are great, I just wish they wouldn't make stupid decisions to add songs that have nothing to do with the label. I am famialiar with all these songs but I will not buy this album. They should release a correct Death Row's Greatest Hits. I am really bothered by the inclusion of these non-Death Row 2Pac songs and I can't think of any reason why they were included. Whoever decided to put them on must be smoking crack.

Deathrow,Greatest Hitz.......2003-10-13

The logistics of having legendary, multi-platinum artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac and other veteran West Coast acts under the same roof nowadays is mind numbing. Before money, egos, and beefs got in the way, all these MCs called Death Row Records home. From 1992 to 1996, Suge Knight's label was the most consistent selling label in rap- all their releases went at least platinum until 1996's Christmas on Death Row. To celebrate the success of those glory years, we have Death Row Greatest Hits, a 2-CD package of classic West Coast anthems.

The first disc is by far the stronger of the two, as it includes tracks from the classic releases The Chronic and Doggystyle. Songs like "Nuthin But A G Thang," "Gin and Juice" and "Ain't No Fun" are obvious choices for inclusion. However, there are some strange surprises, like Ice Cube's "No Vaseline," a classic battle track despite the fact that Cube was never on Death Row. Although Tupac was signed to Tha Row in 1995, all of his appearances on Disc 1 come from his early career. With the vast catalog Suge Knight had to choose from, its bizarre that he decided to acquire the rights to these songs for this release. Still, the album is no worse for that fact. Despite leaning a bit too heavily on The Chronic and Doggystyle, Disc 1 comes correct with "Afro Puffs," the Lady of Rage's moment of glory. For anyone who forgot, Rage has skills and flavor to spare on the Dr. Dre-produced track:

Instead of cointinuing Death Row's legacy chronologically on Disc 2, Suge opts instead to pack it with remixes of songs on Disc 1. All "Gin and Juice (Remix)" and "Lil Ghetto Boy (Remix)" do is remind the listener of the original's superiority. The remix to Tupac's "I Get Around" is horrible, laced with saxophone straight from adult contemporary radio. The few R&B songs that Death Row ever did are represented in the form of Jodeci's "Come Up to My Room" and Danny Boy's "Come When I Call." Disc 2 is a mixed bag in the end: the weak Dr. Dre-diss "Who Been There, Who Done That" (performed by J-Flex) is balanced by "Hit Em Up." The disc also gives Dat Nigga Daz a chance to shine producing the hard funk of "Me In Your World" and the breezy, DJ Quik-esque "Let Me Ride (Remix)."

While Death Row Greatest Hits has no shortage of classic songs, when you consider the label's track record and huge catalog of hits, this package is slightly underwhelming. Where is "Regulate," "Dollaz and Sense" and "California Love"? Tupac's All Eyez on Me became the label's biggest hit ever, but it is completely absent here. But considering Death Row's refusal to progress into the future (where is Crooked I, by the way?), Greatest Hits is steeply rooted in its glorious past.

Marion "Suge" Knight's controversial Death Row records have had an undeniable impact on hip-hop culture. With its often-imitated, seldom duplicated George Clinton-sampling G-Funk sound, the label almost single-handedly built the West Coast gangsta genre, propagated via artists like Dr Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube, Tupac, and Tha Dogg Pound. Death Row's Greatest Hits features an impressive dosage of funkdafied classics. Significantly, many of the tracks are taken from two of the best LPs ever released by the label, namely Dre's The Chronic (on which Snoop made his debut appearance) and Snoop's Doggystyle. Cuts like "Lil Ghetto Boy," "Nuthin' But a G Thang," "Gin 'n' Juice," "Doggy Dogg World," and "Lodi Dodi" all sound as fresh today as they did several years ago. We also get Dre and Cube's "Natural Born Killaz," Dre's "Keep Their Heads Ringin'," and some classic--and sentimental--Tupac material like "Dear Mama," "Keep Ya Head Up," and "Me Against the World." The second CD features a glut of rare and unreleased remixes as well as some original tracks, though hardly any of these stand out. They illustrate how thoroughly dependent the label's sound is on the potent G-Funk factor it patented. --Paul Sullivan

The song by Sam Sneed???? U betta wreckognize where is it, Obviously it aint on this but anyway I would have given this 5 stars if it was.

Death Row is Still Tight.......2004-10-19

I have a lot to say! First of all, all of your reviews have been talking about why All eyez On Me, Doggfather, and Makaveli songs aren't on here. You have to understand that in this compilation was made in 1996, and all of those albums yall have been talking about were made in 1996. Most times, greatest hits albums do not include songs that were JUST released. That's why the songs weren't on there. Second of all, Deep Cover wouldn't be on here becuase that was made a few months before Death Row (the deep cover soundtrack was not on Death Row).

But anyway, the album was tight with good hits on the first disc(i don't have to indentify them you.) But there ARE some missing hits. First of all, in THE CHRONIC, where is the orignal version of Dre Day and Let Me Ride? Those were good tracks, and besides, the remixes SUCK. In DOGGYSTYLE, were is the original made Murder was the case? It was better than the remix. And where is Serial Killa, the D.O.C, Snoop Dogg, RBX, and Dogg Pound collaboration? In ABOVE THE RIM, where is Regulate, and Big Pimpin'? Those where good tracks. In MURDER WAS THE CASE, U Better Recognize, Dollaz and Sense, and 21 Jump Street are missing (21 JUmp Street is obviously a boring and ordinary track to everybody else, but I like the beat and tune.)IN DOGG FOOD, there are no tracks. WHAT THE HECK! Dogg Food was tight! They should have put Cyco- Lic-No, Smooth, Let's Play House, and New York, New York on there. And California Love, the orginal version should have been there, because that was made in 1995, which is not too close to the Death Row's GH release date. So if all the songs I said that should have been added were added, there would have been no space for stupid remixes, and tupac songs that were not under DEath Row. But overally, I in my mind ganve it a 3.5, but now I think it should deserve a four.

WHAT THE HECK! Dogg Food was tight! They should have put Cyco- Lic-No, Smooth, Let's Play House, and New York, New York on there. And California Love, the orginal version should have been there, because that was made in 1995, which is not too close to the Death Row's GH release date. So if all the songs I said that should have been added were added, there would have been no space for stupid remixes, and tupac songs that were not under Death Row. But overally, I in my mind gave it a 3.5, but now I think it should deserve a four.

Death Row's "Greatest" is a bit of a mixed bag!.......2004-07-12

This two-disc compilation of Death Row's best hit records is actually somewhat of a mixed bag as outside of its early hits from the first two solo releases (Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" and Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Doggystyle"), it takes weird directions in its choices. There is the Ice Cube classic, "No Vasoline" which disses N.W.A. and was recorded before Death Row was even a label. Only two of the seven 2Pac tracks that are included here were actually recorded during his Death Row days. The rest are actually early Pac recordings from his Interscope days (though "Pour Out A Little Liquor" was released on Death Row's "Above The Rim" soundtrack.) A good portion of disc 2 is dedicated to remixes of classic Death Row songs that are included on disc 1. Only the "Let Me Ride" remix seems to be worth the space. The original "Let Me Ride" is nowhere to be found nor is the original "Dre Day". The remix of the latter features vocals from Jewell over the old beat with none of Dre or Snoop's original lyrics. In fact, neither contributed to it at all. The never-before-released "Who Been There, Done That" by J. Flexx is the first of many disses that Death Row would release attacking former producer, Dr. Dre. They would have been better off leaving it off of a "greatest hits" album as its inclusion seems innappropriate. The other brand new song, Daz's "Me In Your World" is a pretty good addition though it doesn't make up for the lack of Dogg Pound classics that didn't make the cut. There are no songs from "Dogg Food" or "All Eyez On Me" to be found here. "Greatest Hits" is a must-buy for the die-hard Death Row fans but it would have been good if they included more of their classics ("Regulate", "Deep Cover") as well as lost songs and rare B-sides such as 2Pac's "Pain", Dogg Pound's "Just Doggin", and the Dr. Dre B-side "Sippin' On Tanqueray and Puffin' On Blunts" as opposed to a number of well-known hits that their label didn't even produce. The inclusion of "Keep Their Heads Ringin" and "Hit Em' Up" were pretty good selections but for the most part, if you own their first few releases, you probably won't find anything worth buying in this Death Row "best of" collection.

All those folks who contemptuously dismiss today's mainstream country and wish they could have been around for the heyday of Lefty Frizzell and Buck Owens are missing the boat. Right now, right in front of us, the Frizzell-like George Strait and Owensesque Dwight Yoakam are quietly assembling two of the great careers in country music history. Further evidence is now available in the form of Yoakam's second greatest-hits package (the first, Just Lookin' for a Hit, collected his 10 best singles from 1986-89). The new collection gathers 11 of his 13 Top 40 country hits from 1991-96 (strangely omitting "Nothing's Changed Here" and "Try Not to Look So Pretty") and adds three new songs. The new ones are good ones--Yoakam gives the ballad "Thinking About Leaving," cowritten with Rodney Crowell, a striking low-note guitar riff; he makes Waylon Jennings's "I'll Go Back to Her" even more traditional than it was; and he lends Queen's rockabilly romp, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," an authenticity it never had. Yoakam is living proof that it's still possible to combine commercial success and artistic achievement in country. --Geoffrey Himes

Good collection.......2005-09-05

As the title says, it's a collection of "90's Dwight songs. While I'm not a big fan of "Best Of...." albums, this is definately worthwhile for new Dwight listeners. Of course, the two previously unreleased tracks are just as good as the assortment of radio-played hits they accompany. "I'll Go Back to Her" is absolutely stone cold, tried & true, country, and may be the best track on the album? A+

A thousand miles to somewhere!.......2004-08-11

Dwight Yoakam gives us the best of his millennium in this collection of his greatest hits. The clever title is a clue to the excellence of this country western gem. One hopes his second millennium is as much fun as the first.

The Real Cowboy!!.......2004-04-16

How can you not like Dwight.
I'm not a huge country fan, actually I don't enjoy the genre much, but Dwight Yoakam is great.
His songs are catchy and his songwriting briiliant. He NEVER sounds like some sappy cowboy singing cheesy lyrics about lost love or drinking with buddies out in some hick tavern.
Total toe-tapping music that forces you to have a good time. His whole catalogue of records are worth buying, but if you want to save a few bucks, get this one and be prepared to be totally satisfied!!!
Trust me. Have I ever lied to you before??????!!!!

A cool country collection........2004-04-05

I enjoy alot of classic country music, but there's only one guy I can stand in recent history, it's "Dwight Yoakam". I think this guy is loaded with talent and style, just like this disc is loaded with hits. This 90's collection of his includes "You're The One", "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere", "Fast As You", and "Nothing". Plus my favorite song "Ain't That Lonely Yet", and a couple unreleased tracks. There's also covers of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", and an excellent version of "Suspicious Minds". This disc may be missing a track or two, but there's too much good stuff here to complain. Highly recommended.

encapsulating?....almost.......2003-10-15

Dwight Yoakam is essentially the only 'country' artist or group I listen to in a genre run amok with pretentious Rascal Flatt pop-country hopefuls.
This compilation is a good start for those who are being introduced to Dwight and Pete Anderson's subtle genius. However, for the avid fan, this may seem an inaccurate portrayal of Dwight's discology. Or it could be that only one disc (granted there are 14 tracks) cannot truly justify his accomplishment.
First let me start with the few irks:

-Crazy Little Thing Called Love could have been done without. Dwight loves to do covers but this is one of his few stretches.
-There are no selections from maybe his most overlooked album in A Long Way Home. My jaw hit the floor at the time of purchase when no songs appeared from that album. Couldn't they have scratched one of the four songs from This Time to make room?
-The tunes chosen from the album Gone (Sorry You Asked? , Nothing) weren't really his best stuff on there. True, they were the two singles expected to carry the album. However, the title track and Never Hold You would've put some moxy in the album.

"Best Harpsichord Recording".......2005-11-05

I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper.
Plenty of music for a moderate price as well.

Great.......2005-08-09

This CD is very very good just what I was looking for. I highly recommend this CD if you are planning on purchasing a Harpsicord CD, this one is the best.

a must-have for harpsichord lovers.......2004-04-30

I love the sound of this most unusual instrument, the harpsichord. Especially the fast intricately melodic songs. Very enjoyable. This "Greatest Hits" includes many compositions perfectly suited to this wonderful old predecessor to the piano. There's even a little funny trivia thrown in: on the song sheet is written: Q:"what did the famous conductor Sir Thomas say that the harpsichord sounds like? A: "Like two skeletons screwing on a hot tin roof" :)

keeno.......2001-01-08

This is a fun cd. BYRD, BULL, BACH ETC come through great Scarlatti bits sound like a flock of unhappy cows running of a field of burnt popcorn but those bits generally do unless played on the African Kalimba [or thumb piano] in Africa where I need not hear them.

This is a well engineered CD. Many featuring the harpsichord demand a level of equipment beyond that of any regular person with bills, which means this disk sounds just fine on a boom box. Everybody in the family will like some part of this disk `cept for the 13 year old whose lost to punk rock or hip hop.

The Most Superb Harpsichord Sampler.......2000-07-27

I can't imagine a better sampler of harpsichord 'hits' played by one of the great stereo-era masters. A full complement of emotions is displayed here, from the most delicate and sparing texture to the most rip-roaring martial roar. If you're wondering what the harpsichord is about, or if you're already a fan and want a great sampler to play for your own delight and amusement, you cannot go wrong with this recording.
