These videos are a nostalgic glimpse back to the 80's, and the songs…well, let's just say that Culture Club had its good moments ("Church of the Poison Mind" and "Karma Chameleon") and its not-so-good moments ("The War Song"). Nevertheless, taken as a whole, this set provides an excellent survey of a trend-setting group's oeuvre…
A multi-instrumentalist who, like Stevie Wonder, mixes genres effortlessly, Britain's Eddy Grant deserves a wider audience, but for those who want just the hits, this collection fills the bill.
Somewhere in every good music fan's basement is a worn-out copy of either the vinyl, eight-track, or cassette of Black Sabbath's We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll. The 1976 compilation captured the darkest and beefiest moments from the Ozzy years and served as a right of passage for millions of aspiring musicians, burnouts, pastor's kids, and closet miscreants. Rhino's 16-track Greatest Hits 1970-1978 anthology only trumps the single-disc We Sold Our Soul CD by two songs, but it offers superior sound and features at least a few cuts from 1976's Technical Ecstasy and 1978's Never Say Die!, the band's last two pre-millennium Ozzy records…
his is a decent – if by no means complete – 14-track hits collection by the original Black Sabbath (Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward) from the debut album through Never Say Die! While hits like "War Pigs," "Iron Man," "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," and "Sweet Leaf" are here, it is inexplicable how they managed to leave off "Supernaut," from Vol. 4! Oh well, the price is right, the sound is decent, and there is enough Sabbath here to rock the house or your car…
