As you know this is one of the greatest albums of all time, given a new lease of life - remastered - with new booklet and fantastic new versions of the songs.
Fergie joins Michael on Beat It which has been remixed and extra percusion and guitars on it. Bass lines and strings etc have been moved around and it has a new ending.
Billie jean is a remix by Kanye West. Not my favourite remix - I think Tony Morans was the best. the songs starts with the bridge and is given new beats and the track has re dubs of strings and taken new parts of the song and moved them back.
the girl is mine with Akon - again is given a new production and here Michael re does all the vocals and Paul's are removed. Again the ... Read More:

A previous reviewer made mention of the absence of 'Dancing on The Ceiling'. Didn't really notice it when you have old hits such as Hello, Penny Lover, Say You Say Me, Three Times a Lady and practically the rest of the album save 'Do It To Me', 'My Destiny' and Love Oh Love. The latter really turbo boosts an already rocket powered album.

In my opinion, no other artist could have come out with an album like this, because this album pretty much pushed every boundary, and broke every rule, and was such a stark contrast to her debut, to Christina this album was about coming out, and being herself instead of the `fake' & `forced' bubblegum pop star she was on the first album, although there is plenty of darkness on this album, it still speaks true of Christina, and she certainly doesn't hold anything back.
The 1: 39 intro sets the mood & atmosphere for the album, with snippets of news reports and some brief singing, primarily about Christina's transition from bubblegum pop princess to the independent diva, then we go into the independent, female liberation anthem `Can't Hold ... Read More:

The first hit single in the U K by Ray Charles was Georgia on my mid in 1960 and this disc made No 24.Charles was on a new label by then and the Atlantic sides while issued here meant nothing until the Age of Merseybeat.
Hit the road Jack went top 5 and it was nothing but up from then with the Modern Sounds of Country & Western spawning a number of hit singles.
Ray's earlier work on Swingtime began apperaing on a label called Society.
This CD is a pretty comprehensive overview of the most essential recordings which include his Beatles covers and ends with his version of Imagine.
Theres never been any shortage of albums by Ray Charles and I think the first was What'd I say-which was probably too far away from general tastes at the time because ... Read More:

For too long disco compilations have focused solely on rehashing the same classics over and over again.
Well, this collection does it differently: it puts the fun back into disco by picking out all the tunes that you have long forgotten about, all those you remember as being vaguely embarrassing, and then sprinkles in a strong selection of the classics for those who have never bought a disco collection before. It'll keep you on the dance floor and put a huge smile on your face.
As the icing on the cake, it unearths the Space Disco genre! Of course, Spacer has long been recognised as a classic disco song, being output from The Chic Organisation, but you can't fail to smile (and more importantly dance) when you hear Automatic Lover or the Star Wars Theme ... Read More:

worth owning just for the 2x versions of "hear my train a comin..", let alone "born under a bad sign" or anything else on here..
the man was an alien, either that or the rest of us are such pathetic examples of human beings that no-one has been able to reach his heights since. and to think some people rate Bono.
woah..
just buy it.

Unlike the other reviewers I AM old enough to remember Barry White the first time around though I too enjoyed Ally McBeal.
BW first got into music as a musician & later as a talent spotter for record companies & then moving into the production side.
His first big hit was Love Unlimited's "Walking In The Rain" which featured BW speaking on the telephone to his girl friend.
Right from this early track (which charted in both the UK & the USA in the early 70s) the BW 'sound' could be heard: romantic strings, slushy vocals over a strong rhythm.
This album doesn't stray from the sound at all, all the tracks feature the same kind of voice (bar the 2 instrumentals), similar sounding songs & very similar arrangements.
