A Soldiers Plaything (1930) Michael Curtiz, Ben Lyon, Harry Langdon, Lotti Loder

With talent and popularity that rivaled silent-era vaudevillian comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon's work is back on the screen with "Lost and Found: The Harry Langdon Collection" (2007). Discovered in 1923 by the innovator of slapstick and reigning "King of Comedy" Mack Sennett, this incredible 4-disc collection includes the actor's short films, the biographical documentary feature "Lost and Found" (1997), newly discovered restored footage once thought to be lost, and more! An essential collector's item for silent film and physical comedy fans.

The complete memorable recordings made by Billie Holiday in 1956-57 backed by a small group including Ben Webster, Harry Edison, Jimmy Rowles and Barney Kessel. A complete Holiday set recorded at Newport during the same period has been added as a bonus. Includes 16-page booklet.

"Ben" is the second studio album by Michael Jackson, released by Motown Records on August 4, 1972, while Jackson was still a member of The Jackson 5.

Ben was more successful on the music charts than Jackson's previous studio album, having charted within the top ten on the Billboard 200. Internationally, the album was less successful, peaking at number twelve in Canada, while charting within the top 200 positions in Australia and France.

This unusual compilation from Motown features Michael Jackson's lead vocal tracks from a number of early Jackson 5 and solo hits. Presented here a cappella without the backing tracks and generally without his brothers' harmonic contributions, it's easy to appreciate Michael's perfect pitch and impeccable timing on songs like "I Want You Back," "ABC," and "Dancing Machine." Most of these songs are from Michael's (and the Jackson 5's) early-'70s heyday and, by and large, the voice heard here is the youthful boy soprano of his early teens. While it's unlikely that this collection will receive more than a few curious spins, it does offer a revealing look at the technique and early mastery of one of pop music's great vocalists. That the music is from the pre-digital, pre-pitch-correction era makes these performances even more impressive.
