VH1's three-time
 Pirates Of The Carribean 3: Sao Feng with Sword $9.99 I did not buy this toy to play with. I bought it to collect. So I was never removed from the packaging. I received it from Amazon in excellent condition. The detail is great.  Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall & John Oates (4 CD Set plus Bonus Disc, "Live '05") $89.99 My review for this box set is essentially the same as the one I already did but since I have this particular set with the live disc, I'm repeating it here. The only addition is that the live CD is really a must-have for die-hard fans. An almost PERFECT box set from the best artists in the business. Daryl Hall & John Oates have been consistently outstanding since day one and age and time hasn't slowed them down a bit. This set spans their entire career from Temple University days in the mid-60's to today. To the completest type of fans as I am, there would be plenty of songs to add to this outstanding set such as songs from the "Beauty on A Back Street" album, "Marigold Sky" and maybe even their Christmas album. However, to fans who just know them as prolific hit makers, do yourself a favor and get a good pair of headphones to go with this set. You'll need it in order to appreciate them even more. The 60-page booklet that goes along with this set is a must-have as it is. There's an entry for every song plus commentary from other artists who admire Daryl & John's talent. Sit back, put those headphones on so you don't miss a note and read the booklet as you listen. It's a great experience. I'm only through Disc 1 as I'm writing this. Bonus material includes previously released live tracks and some studio tracks that have not been released until now. The quality of the music is flawless. Even the live tracks have a very transparent quality to them with good presence. It's easy to see why they're in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. |
