The title of this bonus-track-rich, 10-disc chronicle of Robert Plant's post-Led Zeppelin career refers not only to the number of solo albums the singer has released since Zep flamed out in 1980, but also his penchant for stubborn endurance and artistic reinvention in the face of time and the tides of fashion. While both Plant and Jimmy Page have never been able to fully escape the lengthy shadows of their original world-beating collaboration, it's the vocalist who's best--if irregularly--tempered, teased, and folded Zep's legacy into his mercurial solo career, with his 1982 debut Pictures at Eleven and 1988's Now & Zen being the most overt about it. More crucial to Plant's restless muse has been a willingness to move beyond Led Zeppelin, whether successfully casting a more structured set of songs in synth-drenched new wave veneer on "Principle of Moments" (supplemented here by the previously unreleased "Turnaround" and three live cuts, including an unlikely cover of Bob Marley's "Lively Up Yourself"), revisiting a wide swath of influential roots on the Honeydrippers EP and his first release with contemporary backing band Strange Sensation on 2002's Dreamland, or the symphonic ambitions of Manic Nirvana and multihued folk retrenchment of Fate of Nations. Enhanced by 26 bonus tracks of outtakes, demos, live cuts, and remixes, the nine albums anthologized here are also covered in an insightful essay by journalist Ed Vulliamy. The set's bonus DVD contains an hour-long retrospective hosted by Plant himself and features rare film clips and comments from many of his collaborators and admirers, as well as 20 career-spanning solo videos. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Legendary vocalist Robert Plant's extraordinary post-Led Zeppelin career is celebrated in this inspired 10-disc box set that encompasses his nine solo albums, expanded and remastered, and a bonus DVD with a one-hour documentary!

Customer Reviews:

An Alternative Truth.......2007-06-24

The preceeding reviews are adequate for you to determine if this package is for you or not. There's really not much new to say, but I did want to reiterate one or two things.

The first thing is, the remastering. I did a back to back comparison of "Principle of Moments" last night. This is my favorite Plant work, and was the one I most wanted to hear.

The truth is, it really isn't all that different. Once again, they've simply boosted the volume of the disc. So, you put in the remastered disc and set the volume, ansd then put in the original disc, and you can barely hear anything.

Turn up the volume on the original disc though, and you have pretty much the same sound as the new one. It's got the same clarity, the same detail. Perhaps there are minor differences, slightly tighter bass, a minute bit of detail more, but honestly, it's not anything to get excited about.

So in all honesty, the "remaster" is a bit of a red-herring. It's a shame, because that was the main pull for me.

As for the bonus DVD - the hour documentary is reasonably interesting, although it's far too brief. Plant only talks about songs that have accompanying videos, which means my favorite tracks never get a mention. And with only and hour, he doesn't get to give any real details about the various periods the albums were made in.

As for the 20 something videos - they're all here. The good news is, they're in stereo, DTS 5.1, and Dolby 5.1. Always a nice bonus that.

The bad news is, they videos themselves are all basically unwatchable. That embarassing 80's stuff is cringeworthy to the extreme, and Plant mostly makes a fool of himself.

The packaging is great.

The individual releases have the full liner notes taken from the box set included, so if you simply go for the titles you care about, you don't miss anything.

Still - if you're a Plant fan why not grab this? It's not ASTONISHING - but it's pretty good and complete.

Wish I could give it 3 1/2.......2007-05-05

This was a bargain because I owned only 4 of the 9. Also there's the dvd that's not sold seperately. BUT..... THE reason I bought the set was for the REMASTERING. Unfortunately, the difference is NOMINAL. There are however enough unreleased or unavailable in the U.S. tracks to make up a cd of their own, plus there's lots of good live tracks and at least 1 enjoyable remix. The packaging looks great and is original, but it's also very cumbersome putting a disk back in it's sleeve. The sleeves are bound in book form, but the style of binding keeps the front pages from staying out of the way when you access the rear sleeves. You almost need one hand to hold the top pages back, one to spread the carboard sleeve open so it doesn't scratch the disk, and a third hand to put in/take out the disk. The best thing for me has been discovering everything released after Manic Nirvana. It's possible Mighty Rearranger could become my favorite Plant cd. So....... Pros: Fair price, great music, nice extras, sounds a little better than the original releases, VERY attractive and high quality packaging. (The guy that wrote the booklet was a bit gushing, but nearly all of these retrospectives have the same "feature". I remember after reading the booklet in The Babys anthology, I nearly believed they were the biggest band in the world.) Cons: Only a LITTLE better sounding than the original releases, inconvenient packaging.

Nine Lives really is a Tall Cool One........2007-04-27

Nine Lives is a massive nine CD, one DVD set of Robert Plant's solo career. Granted he's a rock god, but is a boxed set dedicated to Robert Plant's solo career, really necessary? Perhaps not, but that is up to each buyer to decide.

Despite his relatively steady presence on the radio with songs from Led Zeppelin, his solo releases rarely received the kind of treatment afforded like some other high-profile solo artists coming out of big bands. There may be reasons for this, but it's unfortunate, because as Nine Lives makes clear Robert Plant has been more consistent and consistently interesting than either. As tightly as the ghost of his former band has held him, Robert Plant has succeeded in charting an original course.

Not all has aged well, of course, but what's astonishing is just how much of this stuff still holds up. 1982's Pictures at Eleven and 1983's The Principle of Moments are albums very much of their time, but the songs and performances transcend their production enough to overcome this. The years have not been as kind to the Honeydrippers Volume One and 1985's Shaken `N' Stirred, but from 1988's Now and Zen on, he's been on a dissonant, solidly enjoyable tear.

The albums have all been remastered, of course, and bonus tracks added to each, everything sounds great and the remastering is noticed right away. The set also comes with a DVD with 20 of Robert Plant's music videos and an hour long documentary where he talks about his career and each album and why he decided to go solo and what was behind each of his solo albums.

Within the nine CDs, you've got a list of rock radio classics: 29 Palms, Big Log, Burning Down One Side, In the Mood, Little by Little, Pledge Pin, Sea of Love, Shine it All Around, Tall Cool One, Tie Dye on the Highway and more. Along with the 85 old tunes, you've got 25 bonus cuts, live recordings and remixes peppered with a few so-so leftovers and demos.

You've got an eye-catching packaging and a 60-page color book containing more biographical data, plus an album-by-album chronicle. It is exhaustive. And exhausting.

This set is for fans of Robert Plant's solo work and not that of Led Zeppelin as they are very different.

The only question you need to answer is how much Robert Plant do you really need?

Nine Lives 5 Stars.......2007-04-20

This sounds superb and the bonus tracks are largely excellent. The packaging is great and user friendly. The only disappointment is the book which while OK is overly reflective, even for a retrospective such as this. Box sets like everything else come in a variety of types from great to poor, this one is great, get it!

Robert Plant's Swan Song.......2007-03-06

At his best, Plant exemplifies why Zeppelin was so popular. Lyrically and performance-wise, he is quite the showman. That being said, at his worst, Plant is pedestrian. This collection contains some of both. "Now and Zen", and "The Principles of Moments" are incredible, but I just never got "Dreamland". That it includes his latest release is a bonus, and all of the bonus material is a pleasant surprise, given that in most cases, "deleted scenes" deserved to be deleted. If you like what you have heard from Robert in years past, this is the definitive collection to own. I had 4 or 5 of the original CDs, and don't regret spending the extra money to replace them with this collection. The old CD's will make great gifts to introduce my friends to some of Roberts "not so mainstream" stuff.

Completer set.......2006-02-11

If you have the four disc boxed set you know you are missing quite a few essential Zep cuts so, spend a little more and get this two disc set to complete your collection.

An Excellent Companion To The First Boxed Set.......2005-10-04

Led Zeppelin's first boxed set was an excellent starting point for casual fans, but also left out a lot of great stuff. With many newbies craving for more Led Zeppelin, another boxed set was compiled called "Led Zeppelin Box Set, Vol. 2". How does it hold up? Read on for my review.

Positives:
-If you own the boxed set and are interested in having all the tracks omitted from it, than this collection will do just fine. This has all the important stuff left off the first collection, including "Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)", "The Lemon Song", "Good Times, Bad Times", "Sick Again", "Moby Dick", "The Crunge" and "Bron-Yr-Aur".
-The songs sound really good.
-It's reasonably priced.
-There's a previously unreleaed song called "Baby Come On Home". It's a really good song.

Negatives
-As great as this collection, it would have been better to have the two cds split into two separate cds and inserted onto the first boxed sets.
-This cd is very hard to locate.

Overall, if you have the first Led Zeppelin boxed set, than you should definitely get this second editoion as well.

Led Zep Box Set 2.......2005-09-18

I actually like Box Set 2 better than Box Set 1. In this set, Jimmy Page seems to have the most input., rather than Set 1, which was more geared to Robert Plant. If you love Zep Music... you will LOVE Box Set 2. Good Listening!

If you have the 1st Box Set, you need this one!.......2005-05-30

Box Set 2 contains the rest of the studio recordings that didn't make its way on to the 1st box set.

Buy Box Set 1 and 2 together to get the complete studio recordings of the Led Zeppelin catalog.

Fans who want the chronological timeline preserved are better off with the Complete Studio Recordings box set. It takes up a hefty amount of shelf space on your library!

But for fellas like me who just want to compress the Led Zeppelin studio recordings into a nifty 6 CD set, get Box Set 1 and 2 together today!

Led Zeppelin - 'Box Set, Volume 2' (Atlantic) 2-CD.......2005-03-05

Maybe one of the best box sets I've ever seen.First,let's talk about the super-thick fifty(50)page full color booklet with a countless amount of that good 'ol priceless Zeppelin artwork.Old 45 single covers,live concert photos,old magazine covers,flyers,etc.Two discs,with a total of 32 songs.A couple of better known cuts,like "Good Times Bad Times","The Lemon Song","You Shook Me" and "Living Loving Maid(She's Just A Woman)".Plus plenty of somewhat obscure tunes that I haven't heard in awhile,like "Sick Again","Black Country Woman",the kick-ass "Boogie With Stu",""Bron-Yr-Aur","The Crunge" among others.A must-have for any true Zep fan.

Customer Reviews:

What more could you ask?.......2007-06-27

Seems to me the songs are all there, not always aligned as in the 'original' (at least U.S. versions), but there's a handy-dandy index such that if ANYONE mentions ANY Beatle song, you c'look it up, find it, and, by God, play it for them.

Again I say unto you, what more could you ask?

Power of the pound.......2007-06-14

I ordered this from right across the atlantic in the UK as with the strong pound, the price of $199.99 represented outstanding value. All the Beatles tracks as per their original mixes and original uk album releases. If you are a beatles fan, a completist and you don't alreay own all the albums on CD I fail to see how this cannot be an outstanding value for money purchase (at the reduced price). I would also reccomend Ian McDonald's book 'Revolution in the Head' if you listen to the beatles music with this book, you will feel like it is the first time you are really 'listening' to the music.

It's the Beatles all together in one place!.......2007-05-03

I didn't buy this set from Amazon. I bought it through a TV shopping channel (which shall remain un-named). At the time I bought it, it had been out for more than a year and if I remember correctly, there was some kind of lawsuit pending and the set was being taken out of print and no one was sure it would be returning. I know I paid less than $200 for it and, despite what some reviewers here will tell you... it was worth every penny. This is (as others have said) all of the Beatles original UK releases along with Past Masters I & II in a wooden roll-top box. The box is not plastic (as has been claimed) and is very sturdy and fairly heavy. Despite rumors of its demise "Hey Jude" is in fact in this set. The recordings seem clear and clean to me and I love the way the whole set is packaged. Why there is so much mis-information on this set I don't know. All that being said, I highly recommend this set for folks (like myself) who are looking for a box set. Sure, you might be able to assemble the individual albums cheaper, and if that makes you happy, please have at it! But that fact can't take away from this wonderful set.

The Best of Rock n Roll.......2007-04-20

Forget SGT Pepper or Revolver and Rubber Soul, they are not the best Beatles albums. This is the best Beatles album. Ha ha, well you know what I'm saying...Everything they did is classic so get all of the CDs (maybe not this set due to high price) and just play them back to back some weekend and you will see the light. Beatles will live on forever and will always be my fall back music when I get sick of the crap that they release these days...RIP John & George.

yeah........2007-03-05

I've been reading some of the customer reviews here. Are you people complete idiots? There's a bunch of people complaining that 'Hey Jude' isn't in the set. It's on 'Past Masters'which is included! Did you even look at the albums you bought, or the track listing? As for the 'Hey Jude' record (1970), it wasn't an album to begin with. Just an incomplete ad hoc compilation of singles, which has no need to exist anymore since the songs are either on Past Masters, or the regular albums. Likewise, the american capitol albums no longer serve any reason or purpose. they deserve their extinction. Sorry America, you got screwed over in the first place. The beatles had nothing to do with those capitol albums, in fact, they detested that Capitol butchered their records that way. They spent painstaking hours sequencing the UK albums, packaging them too, and these represented their artistic vision. The capitol albums are incomplete besides. Here is every single official song the Beatles released in their initial lifespan, as they intended it, b sides and all. Price aside, what more do you want? Oh, yeah, some customers here want the Red and Blue sets. That makes sense doesnt it? Complain about the price, then ask for 4 cds worth of compilation to be thrown in, repeating the songs already on the other cds in the set? Yeah. If your interest in the beatles doesnt exceed compilations why bother with a 300 dollar set in the first place? Everything in this set is amazing of course. It's unfortunate knowing people this stupid share the same interest as me.

Think five discs and 131 songs is too much Louis Jordan? Not a chance. Not for a man who so consistently and so definitively achieved the elusive and delicate combination of musicianship and accessibility. Not for a man who paved new and vital musical roads without ever losing his sense of style or his appetite for fun. Covering Jordan's historic (not to mention commercially successful) Decca tenure (1938 to 1950), this amazing collection finds the alto sax player, songwriter, and singer building blues and swing into a hot mix that came to be known as R&B, producing hit after hit with topnotch bands behind him, streamlining the big-band concept without diminishing the music's force. Much has been made of his role in the development of R&B--and as a result, rock & roll--and his importance as a musical pioneer can't be underestimated. But all ideas about "historical importance" fade away as these vibrant, insistent, irresistible tracks roll by. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews:

The foundation set of R&B.......2007-01-10

Simply put, for its value this is one of the greatest collections of CD's of utter joy and happiness around.

This multivolume set covers the early music and musical peak of the musical and comical link between Bert Williams and Louis Armstrong (LJ's dad was a friend of Bert's and used his records to inspire his son, and Satch was a mentor and occasional collaborator with LJ) and the first generation of R&B rockers (Ray Chalres, the Godfather, B.B. King, and Little Richard have all sang their praises to LJ).

Some of his really rare early music is found on the early discs. It took him a while to find his style of humorous stories told to a beat and inspired sax playing, but there are still some diamonds in the rough here. "Swinging in the Coconut Trees" is an amusing and atmospheric instrumental, "Keep a Knockin" was later covered by Little Richard, "Do You Call That a Buddy" is a good comical blues with some nice background singing by the T-5, "June Teenth Jamboree" is probably the first record to deal with this early black holiday (LJ was astudent of Black folklore, and incorporated it into his music), and "What's the Use of Gettin' Sober" is the kind of wild, authentic black humor that would put Amos & Andy's "PseudoNegro" antics to shame.

Later on, we get into the familiar bits of inspired nuttiness and great musicianship. "Caldonia," "Sat Nite Fish Fry," "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," "Beware" (and its sequel "Look Out Sister" which has some hilarious early rapping), and what is to me the funniest R&B record of all time, the knee-slapping floor-pounding classic BEANS & CORNBREAD.

We also get some of the calypso tunes with Jordan's expertly delivered "Jafakean" accent such as "Run Joe," "Early in the morning," "Stone Cold dead in the Market," and "Push Ka peesh Kee Pie." The West Indians were flattered by these tunes and LJ made succesful tours of the West Indies.

However, the set ends at about 1950, just before our man's career peaked. But his later material is available elsewhere on Amazon. In either case, whenver you come home from a hard day at work, put this set on your CD player. It'll put your psychologist out of work!

Great Listening.......2006-08-14

I wandered into this CD while checking out the many great boxed sets that JSP Records has to offer. I knew very little about Louis Jordan before hearing this, and now I'm hooked! For anybody whole loves to hear the building blocks of modern music, this is for you. If you like to hear things like Bob Wills, Milton Brown, Louis Armstrong, This is for you.

Lloyd Brown St Louis, MO.......2006-04-17

Wolf Shadow, great review. Louis Jordan was my uncle and I have almost all of these great cuts on original 33 1/3s and even 45s and 78s. I will buy this CD to preserve my Louis collection which I hardly ever played in the past 40 years.

I give it four stars instead of five because his grearest blues hit "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" is not included in over 130 cuts.

There are others I would have liked to have seen included like 'School Days', which we loved as kids years ago. Plus more of his blues solos. Lots of people did not consider my uncle a "serious" musician, which he surely was.

All in all, a great box set well worth the price.

A Whole Lotta Music For Not Much Dough.......2006-03-07

Don't think twice-- buy it! Great collection goes on and on, and never runs out of steam. Louis Jordan was at his peak when these were recorded. I repeat: buy!

Five Guys Named Moe - bad transfer!.......2005-03-21

The sound quality on this set is great with one exception: "Five Guys Named Moe" sounds horrible! It sounds like it was dubbed from an out-of-round record! What's most puzzling is that this is the only track that sounds bad, and that this was one of Louis Jordan's biggest hits, with many superior transfers available. JSP usually does a stellar job with sound - what happened here?! Luckily, I still have my LP version. Otherwise I'd give this set 5 stars.

Considering the amount of posthumous product released since Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead's demise in 1995, perhaps a better name for the band would be the Living Dead. However, there is no denying the fact that the Dead's music--at various times thrilling, adventurous, simple, futuristic, old-fashioned, ethereal, abominable, ridiculous, and sublime--bears this kind of deep exploration. Rhino's 12-disc bonanza is the definitive look at the Dead's formative years, a fantastically creative nine-year period for Warner Bros. In 1965, they were a bunch of ex-folk and bluegrass musicians who were looking to jump on the rock bandwagon driven by the Beatles. The ensuing decade found them travel a sort of circular path that began with revved-up renditions of their folk and blues favorites. Then they maneuvered through intense, far-reaching, mind-blowing psychedelic experiments, settled into timeless stripped-down Americana, and ended atop a mountain where folk, blues, country, jazz, and psychedelic rock lived in near-perfect harmony.

All of the band's nine official Warner releases (five studio discs, four live) have been superbly remastered and buffed with extra tracks that include unheard studio jams and outtakes, plus contemporaneous live cuts. There's also two discs' worth (one studio, one live) of rare early material that predates their Warner Bros. debut. Each "album" comes in its own package with its own notes, while the box itself offers a 75-page booklet filled with thoughtful essays, personal reflections, and great photos. Clearly, Rhino has thrown down the gauntlet to Deadheads everywhere: they know you have most of this stuff in a variety of forms, but with the bounty of bonus tracks, the superior sound, and the wonderful packaging it's as if they're issuing a challenge not to buy this exquisite collection. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews:

A box set for the ages.......2006-10-14

This box set includes ALL the Warner Bros. Dead albums unlike Deyond Discription whitch omits Steal Your Face and Without A Net. It also includes the extra set Birth Of The Dead.

Great, But too much early stuff.......2006-03-21

OK. First off, This is a great box set. From Axomoxa on up to Bears Choice....near flawless (as far as GD standards go). Great bonus tracks, Great sound... Really, these sound SOOOO good. My only gripe is that the Birth of the Dead isnt really my cup of tea. The band was just getting started and it shows. I am also not a big fan of their first record, mind you so if you like that, you will love the birth of the dead. For me, I just dont ever listen to it. It is extremely dated and a bit immature. The Workingman's Dead disc notes refers to a studio verion of Mason's Children, but includes a rather out of tune live version instead... WHY? I would really like to hear more studio outakes from this period and this set would seemingly be the best place for it. Their live shows from this era are well documented elsewhere (dicks picks, europe 72 etc). So this seems like a missed opportunity. But overall, it is a really good set and well worth the money. The Dead seems to have fixed the outtake issue on Beyond Description, which in my opinion shows a much better (album)side of the band.

Top-notch packaging and unbelievable sound quality. Can I give it more than 5 stars?.......2005-08-29

I am new to the Grateful Dead. Prior to this year, I only heard "Truckin'" and a few songs like that on the radio and I thought, "Ugh. Spacey music for Sixties drop-outs and wannabes."

But the more I got into "jam bands" like Phish, Umphrey's McGee, Particle, moe., and others, the more the roads led back to the Grateful Dead.

So two months ago I bought The Golden Road and started to listen with an open mind. I wanted to know what I'd been missing, if anything.

Holy crap! I missed a lot!

I was immediately hooked by The Golden Road -- especially by the live CDs in this set. Like all jam bands, the Grateful Dead excelled on stage. The studio albums are okay, but bands like the Grateful Dead were able to demonstrate their chops on stage.

Rhino did a fantastic job with these CDs! I heard one of the original CDs and compared it to a remastered version and was floored by the difference. Rhino's remastering is exquisite. Phil's bass lines are now right there where they belong. And the vocals are crisp and clean.

It's obvious Rhino approached this material with reverence, for the sound is just one of the outstanding elements of this package. Everything here is first rate. The box is first rate. The big ol' booklet that comes with The Golden Road is first rate, loaded with pictures and information. (I poured over it for hours and hours, enjoying every word and photo.) Even the price for allof this was reasonable.

My favorite CDs in this set are Live/Dead (one of the greatest live recordings of all time!), American Beauty, Anthem of the Sun and Workingman's Dead.

I know seasoned Dead-heads will see my review as being shallow, lacking in critical thinking or knowledge of the finer points of this or that performance. But all I can say is that I approached this box set as a music lover first and foremost. I approached it with an open mind. And now my mind is made up: the Grateful Dead were an extraordinary band that (I think) too often suffered under its own fame. They became caricatures of themselves. And that's why people like me misunderstood who and what the band really was. I didn't take them seriously.

The Golden Road strips away the larger-than-life persona they assumed and allows those of us who are late to the game hear what they had to offer the world.

I wholeheartedly recommend The Golden Road to anyone who loves good music. Forget what you think you know about Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead and just sit back to listen to these CDs. They'll tell you everything you need to know.

I realize why people are Dead Heads.......2005-06-09

Ive never really listened to Greatful Dead before, but i've heard a few songs here and there. I recently bought both box sets for real cheap, and suddenly released why they are/were followed by millions. They play amazing, probably some of the playing ive ever heard. I heard that the studio albums arent great, but I cant understand why people think that. The live cds were kinda weird, because they sounded like they were recorded in a stuido. I just began to listen to the Dead, so maybe i'm missing the point. Still an amazing boxset, for the price, its a literal steal. The cds are all over 70 minutes, and some of the best music you'll ever experince. Go out and become a dead head today, even though they are long gone-the music will always live on.

Dead head masterpice, a must have........2005-02-01

This box set is a must for all Dead heads, all the music has been remastered and sounds great. If you dig the dead, then you must have all the bonus songs or you will always wonder why you don't and how they sound, go ahead a click on it a get it. You will not be disapointed. Keep Rocking.

Prince is just plain Prince........2006-08-09

For better or for worse, the man still has not changed much in the 22 years that I have been a fan of his. I still see that his concerts go big on the most recent material (i.e. things he has with a new album) while alot of the oldies are glossed over and played for about 15 seconds (enough just to get one refrain in):(
I swear to you, this box set is sorta the same old thing you can expect from this man. I paid $50.00 for this and got three CD's worth of music (some great, some so-so and some just overly long stuff) You mostly pay $25.00 for the music and $ 25.00 for the box itself with the booklet inside! I almost feel the rube but I am willing to give this a second chance. So far, not so pleased though:

Prince is a brilliant genius. What can you say he loves to jam. And in one of the CD's "It AINT over", there the man is playing "Girls & Boys". Which come to think of it is almost 8 minutes of him & his band and the only reason this is considered "Girls & Boys" is because the chant of "I love you baby, I love you so much" is said by the audience at the beginning of the song! How is that "Girls & Boys??!?? I love that song, but with no Eric Leeds onstage with him, that song is NEVER to be played! The same treatment is given to "Peach" ANOTHER great song which leaves U thinking "What the hell..?" Prince obviously dances to the beat of his own drummer. Lol And so it goes on.
The second CD has alot of Prince just doing his regular "slow jams" melodies and I swear you will think because you see on the CD listing for "Diamonds & Pearls" and "Do me Baby" but get ready for just 20 seconds of each song (thus, that is considered long enough for a track listing (???)) Then get ready to hear yet another over-long rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "Anna Stesia". I swear, why does he love "Nothing.." so much? It was never a hit for him! It's his song so whatever...("Adore", "The Beautiful 1's", "Take me with U" and "Raspberry Beret" are given good treatments, but "Diamonds & Pearls", "Free", "Do me Baby" and "Starfish & Coffee" are given the bum-rush jobs)
Obviously, as always the man wants people to know his newer material "Muse 2 the Pharoah", "1+1+1 is 3", "Everlasting Now", "Avalanche" et al are all mostly played their entire length. That's fine, but don't be SO impatient to run through your catalogue so fast that certain songs (new or old) suffer from BEING TOO SHORT!!!!! He USED to take his time with his songs when the concerts were simpler (think Controversy tour 1981), when "Purple Rain" hit, the concerts became more rushed in my opinion.

Save the $50. This set has bad false advertising, plus it's from a period of time where Prince's "Hero" Larry Graham got too much stage time. (I thought Sonny T was Prince's hero???)

Wish I would have Been There!.......2006-08-06

Very hot, at times experimental, incredible muscicianship, and flat out funky songs! A great package, and worth every penny.

ROCKS HARD IN A FUNKY PLACE.......2006-03-31

One Nite Alone...Live! delivers rich funk, smooth jazz and powerful rock! Maceo Parker, Rhonda Smith, John Blackwell, Renato Neto join Prince in this amazing 3 disc live recording. From the opening track "Rainbow Children" to the final track "Everlasting Now" you'll be transported to another planet! Song like Rainbow Children, 1+1+1=3, The Beautiful Ones, Joy in Repetition, Take Me With U, Do Me Baby deliver the album. Amazing collection of material that will please the new fans as well as the old ones. Overall, Prince - One Nite Alone...Live! is truly one of the greatest live recordings out there! This album will not disappoint! Solid live material, beautiful music/vocals, over 30+ songs are presented. Will make a great addition to your Prince collection!

Prince One Nite Alone... Perfection Y'all.......2005-11-30

I have never heard a live concert of this nature! I am an avid Michael Jackson. Pound for Pound Prince takes his live music to an entirely different level. This music is estacy! This is absolutely a wonderful concert collection that I spent nearly 2 months looking for and then I found it at the Virgin Music Mega Store in Time Square!

I dont need to go song by song... from start to finish its an absolute roller coaster of nothing but music!

Soul, Jazz, and R&B under one roof... too much!

I've also got to say, I wasnt a Prince fan until I saw his concert live in Las Vegas. After that I was hooked!

YOU DONT NEED TO BE A FAN TO HAVE THIS COLLECTION ON YOUR IPOD!

THIS ALBUM KEEPS ME BUSY WHILE ON THE SUBWAY!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

100% FUNK MUSIC!

Awesome.......2005-11-10

Even if your not a Prince fan, this album will blow you away if your a music lover. His arrangements and the level of perfection on this album is out of this world.
You just dont know what he'll do next on every song. The solo's, the breaks, the singing and musicianship is one of the best I've heard on one single album. You also get the feeling that they are enjoying it, yet so disciplined and organised. None of the songs are overplayed and even the tracks that are over 7 or 8 minutes keep you on the egde waiting for more magic. This album is worth every penny. Buy it.

Drink that MESS!!!.......2007-07-08

Oh yeah, Mr. Blues was the tops, baby. He and Roy Brown and Joe Turner and Bull Moose Jackson and Hank Ballard and Little Esther and others were the creators of "Rock and Roll". I love this stuff!!!!

An unsung hero and the real "King" of rock and roll. Jump Mr. Blues!!!.......2007-06-07

Great,great boxed set of the incredible Wynonie Harris. In my opinion the greatest African-American singer of them all. What vocal power! Some really good songs weren't on this, like "Wasn't that Good", but very important early songs were included. I'm very glad that more interest is being shown in his music in recent years, since he was almost forgotten in the years shortly after he died in 1969. A wonderful collection of classic jump blues, and I highly recommend it. Let there always be good rockin'tonite!

No "Bloodshot Eyes".......2007-01-01

What a great boxed set. There are almost no weak songs and little or no filler, but imagine how much better it might have been if they had included "Bloodshot eyes" and "Lovin' machine." Worth 5 stars even without them.

4 CDS, 81 TRACKS.......2006-11-08

........OF ONE OF THE GREATEST BLUES SHOUTERS THERE EVER WAS, MR. BLUES, WYNONIE HARRIS. ADMITTEDLY, SOME OF THE SONGS SOUND A BIT THE SAME, BUT THIS IS GREAT STUFF, ORIGINAL ROCK AND ROLL, BEFORE IT WAS EVEN CALLED THAT. IF YOU LIKE BIG JOE TURNER, LOUIS JORDAN, JIMMY RUSHING, OR EDDIE "CLEANHEAD" VINSON, THEN YOU WILL ALSO LOVE WYNONIE HARRIS.

There *will* be good rockin' tongiht ! ! ! .......2006-05-27

First, a bit of a warning... if this is going to be your first taste of WYNONIE, I highly recommend BLOODSHOT EYES... less tunes, but a bit more "punchy" and to the point. And if it isn't... welcome back, and welcome to heaven (yes, who'd ever imagine that sinners DO go to heaven?)

As for Wyononie - - who was he ? I think there are a few great ways to describe him - - 1. As the true father of Rock and Roll (via the genre of so called "jump" and "rhythm and blues". 2 Louis Jordan's evil twin. (Will explain...) 3. One of the greatest (if not most perverse) blues shouters to ever live. As for the Louis Jordan comment - - the similarities are apparent - - both forged the way for rock and roll, but while Jordan tended to keep it clean, Wynonie didn't mind playing it blue... and his tunes are full of sexual references perhaps tame by today's standards, but still quite funny - - take I LIVE MY BABY'S PUDDING, ALL SHE WANTS TO DO IS SIT ON IT - - and LOVIN' MACHINE. Wyononie is also the hard drinkin' bad boy who reminded his listners to "keep on churning until the butter comes," meaning he was good, wholesome and encouraged people to drink milk... Thumbs up to him.

Added surprized on this album include backing vocals by the HARLEMAIRES (one of the original R&B/Doo Wop vocal groups, featuring Frankie Lymon's Dad, and Dottie Smith, who also played timbale's and sang and strawbossed for Jordan) - - In addition tunes like OH BABE and GOOD MORNING JUDGE make you wonder who was copping who when it came to another Louis - - and finally there is one of the most swinging, jumping, houserockin' versions of TEARDROPS FROM MY EYES ever recorded.

Ample reasons to purchase this... you bet.

Of interesting note... the terms ROCK AND ROLL and R & B were actually terms concocted to describe this type of music long after it existed... Rhythm and Blues supposedly wasn't a genre but two types of music - - The Blues and "Rhythm" music, which were both RACE music and often played together... hence the DJs would say they were spinning Blues and Rhythm (or Rhythm and Blues) at that time... I mention that because in Wynonie's music you can really hear the cross roads and roots of the great American backbeat in all its forms from Jazz and Swing to Rhythm, Blues and Rock and Roll, hence the music isn't only soulful, humorous and toe tapping, its enlightening too !
For this reason, Wynonie definitely belongs in your player and I hope you'll agree !

Amazon.com essential recording

You can't have too much Etta James. Really. This long-overdue collection of the singer's Chess recordings includes much of her best work. Three CDs' worth. 72 tracks. Shivers abound just thinking about it. Of course, all the songs you'd expect are here: "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Spoonful," "Something's Got a Hold on Me," "Tell Mama," and, naturally, "At Last," among many, many others. But you don't need me to convince you why Etta James is worth hearing; what you want to know is, is this box set worth the price? Well, it's got almost everything you'd find on At Last, James's first studio album and widely considered her best, and it includes the same material as Her Best, which up to now was hands-down the best introduction to the glory that is Etta James. But say you've already got that stuff, why would you want this? Well, first of all, the packaging is stellar. A 40-page booklet comes in a handsomely presented box, which contains a wealth of pictures, quotes, and perspectives that do much to illuminate what made James's 16-year period at Chess Records so special. There are definitely a few musical chestnuts here; several previously unreleased tracks, as well as a few that were released as singles only. Notable inclusions are a previously unreleased version of "You Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and a live version of "At Last." Whether or not it's possible to distill the work of a singer like Etta James down to three CDs, this is a very strong collection and an admirable effort to get the best of Etta all in one place. --Genevieve Williams

Easily eans its 5 stars! What a woman! Grrrrrrrr!.......2004-01-09

A woman renamed Etta James hit the R&B charts at age 16, when she forged her mother's signature (who was in jail at the time) to allow her to tour and made a living performing where ever she could when soul fell from mass favor. The key to her endurance, as she is still singing, is her versatility and ability to hit home runs with great songs and work around the less than stellar songs.

On early Chess singles the ballad "My Dearest Darling" and the more raunchy "I Just Want to Make Love to You," James coos and growls like a tigress. There is the inside glance at her personal life on duets with a man she had a huge crush on, Harvey Fuqua. Though the young love was apparently unrequited, there is an intimacy inherent in their version of "If I Can't Have You," while a smoldering sexuality pervades "Spoonful." The first CD also has a song that introduced me to James a few years back. You have heard of a little tune called "At Last." I am obviously kidding about "little tune" as that song is on fire.

The second CD introduced me to a mostly unknown (at least to me) R&B singer Sugar Pie DeSanto who duets with James on the screaming party tune "In the Basement" and the sweet and soulful "Do I Make Myself Clear." These women should have recorded together more often as they make a raging fire. Ett a also tackles country with her signature approach and the result may have to get a new name. I suggest "Soultry"."I Prefer You" and "Tell Mama" are scorching.

James began covering rock songs in the late '60s, and both the successful and the not-so-great are included in the third CD of this box set. Although this is the least potent CD of the 3, it has some surprises including the fire-causing "Let's Burn Down The Cornfield," which has to be one of the sexiest songs ever.

The insert is informative as it tells you about Etta's life and has some great pictures. It nothing out of this world, so buy this for the music and although its pricey, I think that it's worth every dime and then some.

The 72 songs on this box set are placed chronologically, and it's rather astonishing how strong all these recordings are, from her terrific vocals to the songs themselves. Her producers weren't sure what to do with the big, bold voice of a woman-child, but she did her thing while they tried to figure out what to do with her. I for one I am glad that they never quite figured it out as it makes for a great victory for song interpretation.

This is a must have release and it easily earns the highest rating possible, independently that some of the songs are not as good as the singer. This set can at times give you a window to the history of rock/soul. May Etta sing until her last breath. I feel very fortunate to have discovered this woman. By the way, my "discovery" only occurred due to the good people at Amazon.com who take the time to rate everything from their favorites and those almost universally panned. This forum is great because it is truly democratic and by being able to read why people give the ratings that they do, I can learn a lot about potential purchases. Thank you guys and enjoy Etta!

One of the most satisfactory CD-Boxes I ever stumbled upon,this 3 Cd collection folows Etta James rise from her early 1960's violin-backed ballads to her glorious Memphis days and funk in 1970's.Of course,she recorded prior to "Chess" and afterwards,but these were her golden years and this carefully compiled Box shows what amazing singer she was in her prime.Those unfamiliar with her start (or with a music climate in early 1960's) would be surprised with some choices,but for me having Etta ballad/jazz/pop/country/soul/funk/philly-sound/blues songs all at one place means hours of pleasure without being bored with just one music style.What all these songs have in common is her big,powerful voice and whatever she sings,she is 100% into it - check her "St.Louis Blues" or previously unreleased (!)"You've Lost That Loving Feeling".Althought is hard to select favourite disc (and chart-wise,disc 1. was her best-selling period),last disc which follows her less commercial early 1970's period is absolute brilliant.The Box closes with breathtaking "Loving Arms" which moves me to tears,often sung country ballad that James sings while falling to pieces.

The Chess Box captures and gives the best of Etta James.......2000-08-24

You'll be more than pleased with this 3 CD set in The Chess Box! Let the voice of Etta James capture your soul with 72 spectacular songs! Fantastic! I've gotten nothing but pure heart touching pleasure from listening to them all!

For the Etta James Purist.......2000-08-01

The "Chess Box" Set is a three C.D. set containing Etta James' Chess recordings from 1960-74. She has always been one of my favorite female singers and to the Etta James purist (which I don't consider myself to be), this would be an invaluable addition to your collection. I found most of the songs on the C.D.s to be somewhat dated (which they are). I am more of an Etta James 1974-2000 fan so this set of C.D.s was not inline with what I was used to but it is of historical value. Many songs use strings and being a fan not familiar with Etta and strings, I was thrown a curve when I heard the Nashville sound behind her. I will always be a fan of Etta's but still prefer her last two and one-half decades rather than her Chess decade and a half.

A MUST!.......2000-07-06

Etta James Ropes Circles Around Many of Todays So-Called Singers.SHe has Passion,Drive,Edge,Pain&Honesty in her work.this Overdue set Showcases that&More.Hearing these SOngs&Reading her book are Both Deep&Essential.SHe is a Very Unique Artist.A True Pioneer.

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding!!! But why the heck...........2007-02-20

Why the heck ate there people out there who buy this who do not own an SACD player or even know what it is.
The only logical reason is they DO NOT own other Dylan releases on standard CD.
SACD is the ULTIMATE listening experience!!!! YOu may hear of DVD Audio discs or Dual Disc. I own all of these types of discs and none hold a candle to the DSD technology that is found on SACD releases.

For the fellow audiophilles out there the majority of the disc in this collection are SACD stereo mixes, with I beleive 5 or 6 being in multichannel. Not really sure why companies release discs on SACD if they are not using them to their full multichannel ability. Nonetheless is you own an SACD player GET THIS SET. If you do not have an SACD player and do not have a Dylan collection GET THIS SET!! Then go out an buy an SACD player an hear what you have been missing so we can keep this dying format alive.
However if you have a nice set of Dylan recordings and no SACD player this set really is not an upgrade to what you already have, unless you are litening to tapes or 8 tracks. The CD layer is basically the same listening experience as other regular CD releases.

This set is worth the money at double the price anyone with an SACD player knows what I am talking about!!

Great Box!!.......2007-01-03

Will the SACD format survive? I doubt it, as I see more and more dual-layer issues fall by the wayside. So now that I have an SACD player, what's a poor boy to do? When I found out that the Dylan SACDs had been discontinued, I was bummed. I'd only bought Blood On The Tracks in the format, and I was impressed. Then, I find out that they're also discontinuing the Rolling Stones dual-layer as well. Well, I got serious. I looked for this box until I found it at a reasonable price. I've started to collect the digi-pak dual layer Stones albums, but they're already getting harder to find and pricey.

If you're like me, in that you bought an SACD player but have been lax about getting the classics that are, or have been, available on SACD, I advise getting this collection while you can. It's got all 15 Dylan albums that Sony released in the dual layer format, and if you look around you can find it for about $10 an album. Someday soon, that will look like the bargain of the century.

About time, but what about Times They Are A'Changing??.......2006-11-14

I have this set, having gotten it from BMG (sorry, Amazondear, it happens), for a
substantial discount. I have to say that it is wonderful and long overdue. I am
not a techhead or sound maven, so the technicalities of remastering are way
over my head. And I do not have a SACD player, whatever that is. The remastering
sounds wonderful on my 1990-vintage CD player, though, and that is good enough
for me.

Only thing I can think to complain about is why in the world did they not include
his first, eponymous, album, and The Times They Are A'Changing? Makes no sense at all.
Are they planning a second set to make up for it? I hope so.

Questionable Album Choice, but Great None The Less.......2005-12-31

Although I'm not quite sure if I agree completly with the album choice, this is still a very nice set. Unlike many other box sets, this only includes the original album material, sticking fairly accurately to the original lp packaging, alongwith exact track listings. No bonus tracks (In my opinion this is a good thing). The cd's are held in digipacks, with a glossy finish. They look nice, but are more likely to become blemished than a matte finish. The 15 lps, blonde on blonde being a double album, are contained in a nice box which is covered in pictures of some of Dylan's master tapes. The fit is tight, but not too tight. It's nice that the albums don't fall out accidentlly.

The remastering job is amazing. The music really jumps out of the record. I don't own an SACD player, but the cd layer sounds great in my car. I've played many of the albums in my 5.1 surround sound system, and the sound there is magnificent. Freewheelin' sounds the best here. It seems like Dylan is paying a different instrument in each speaker, even though I know that he's only playing guitar and harmonica.

Obviously, you know the music is superb. I don't know if I'd have included infidels over time out of mind, the times they are a changin', or even Saved for that matter, but obviously many people disagree with me there. Most people who are insterested in this set probably want every Dylan album (even if they don't like them all), so the set remains a convenient way to pick up most of the great Dylan albums alongwith some of the less consequential ones.

Outstanding set!.......2005-09-28

This collection is outstanding. Some of the later albums like "Oh Mercy" don't do much for me. But the sound quality is outstanding and can NOT be beat. I don't have a SACD player and I'm glad I don't. I hear they are being phased out anyways because nobody cares. But these play in all normal cd players. Some people may have trouble with their computers, but perhaps they need an upgrade. They work fine for me.
