Review by Kalle:MusicLover

This is what you need to keep your music in tip top condition. The sleeves are smooth and very easy to slip the discs into. When you invest in great music you want your CDs to be well protected. I've been using these ever since I started visiting cd.japan.

Songs like Man's Job and Human Touch make this an album that you mustn't miss. It's a powerful statement served well by SHM and a great cardboard replica cover. This is one for your Boss collection.

Here is a chance for us to get a good summary of Pink Floyd's later years. It's not a greatest hits collection in the usual sense. It's more like a journey with a LOT if surprises thrown in.

Here's another cornerstone in my classical listening archive. Herbert Von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker lift Beethoven's lovely and timeless music to the audio heights it deserves.

The cover picture tells us the story of the music. This is another one for my classical collection. Dvorak would be oroad of the audio presentation...

Norah Jones had it all worked out when she recorded this her first album. Her smooth vocals and the discreet but soulful production by Arif Mardin took the listening world by quiet storm.

For me Norah Jones was at her best in her first two albums. The sound is perfect for her dreamy mix of country and jazz. Here she is assisted by The Band's drummer Levin Helm and Dolly Parton.

With these songs Tom Petty could do no wrong. He had one of the rock world's best backing bands and with the help of Jeff Lynne Tom gave us songs that many of us know by heart.

Boz Scaggs went to Alabama for this album. Surrounded by the musicians in Muscle Shoals Boz sound very much at home with a fine choice of songs from The South. You need to get this so that you will understand what a great singer Boz Scaggs was from the very start.

Morrisons earliest albums are still a joy to listen to. It's almost hard to believe that so many years have passed since Moondance. This one has a cover with pictures that really connect with the attitude of the music. This is where you definitely need the Mini-LP experience.

Nobody could describe the people and certain geographical parts of Texas like Guy Clark. On this his first album Guy writes and sings about love, growing old and fiddle players. This kind of music never grows old.

I have a small number of classical albums. This is my most recent addition. Having seen this performance live the SHM version is a perfect exempel to be reminded of a stellar concert.

Fairport Convention peaked on this album. Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny combined ancient Britidh folk music with modern instruments without forcering the old traditions. Magnificent!

Sometimes I enjoy listening to extended melodic guitar solos. Most of all when two players are driving the song along by duelling. But there is also room for one guitar at a time. It all depends on the mood of the song. Nobody could do this better than The Allman Brothers Band. Eat A Peach is as good as Southern Rock gets.

Dire Straits were always great, soundwise. This is where it all started and the music is if course a pleasure to listen to. With SHM added this is in fact the only way to listen to Mark Knopfler and his band.

An excellent collection of these gifted musical personalities. It gives you a picture of what Rod Stewart, Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane were up to before they went on to greater fame.

You need this. You need this audio version of it. If you want to have a serious foundation in your music collection then you most definitely need this timeless musical document/experience...

Tom Rush was always looking for other then unknown songwriter's material. He was among the very first to record songs by Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne. The latter i represented on this fine album. Although it's a priced-down reissue the sound is still spectacular and typically Well Done japanese. This is a good way to discover Mr Rush.

Their best album? This shm-version is certainly unbeatable. It brings out all the details in by a very warm way...

This is my favourite version of another classic. The sound presentation brings out everything that makes this another cornerstone of any serious record collection. This is where the Rolling Stones' ramshackle attitude peaked.
