 Educational Insights GeoSafari Prospector's Mystery Rock $29.99 My daughter got this toy when she was 6. It is very difficult and time consuming to uncover the treasures. As a matter of fact the tools have started to wear out before we got even the 2nd treasure out. She works on it every once in a while but has generally given up. So have we.  Listen, Listen: The Definitive Collection $18.98 "Definitive" is spot-on the best word to describe this fine Rev-Ola compilation, as all the released songs are represented here (completists would want ALL the single 'A'-sides in their original mono, too, but they're out of luck here). All that the rave reviews say about the set is true, but let's not forget the excellent booklet with Steve Stanley's well-researched liner notes, featuring quotes from Emit Rhodes and the other two surviving band members. Sound quality is sharp, and that's even with the one record dub and the soundtrack dub (from a long-forgotten Herb Alpert TV special) factored into my opinion. Too bad that this had to come via an import (price-speaking), but who cares? It's as good as the best Sundazed compilations, and that's sayin' plenty....Buy. It. Now. |
