(12-CD LP-sized box set with 84-page hardcover book) He might not have been the King Of Rock 'n' Roll but Pat Boone was certainly King Of The Hit Parade during the rock 'n' roll era. He sung ballads with a beat and up-tempo pop tunes such as I'll Be Home, Don't Forbid Me, Love Letters In The Sand, Why Baby Why and I Almost Lost My Mind. Hits like this kept him in the charts every week from 1955-1959! This boxed set contains Pat's rare 1953 Republic recordings and every single DOT recording made

Better make room on the bookshelf, baby, 'cause nearly all of these 160 tracks have never been on CD, and a bunch of 'em never even on vinyl! Here are the original film versions of such Sinatra standards as Night and Day; All or Nothing at All; Time After Time; New York, New York; On the Town; All of Me; From Here to Eternity; Three Coins in the Fountain; Someone to Watch over Me; and more, many (because of the film studios' recording innovations) in stereo for the first time. And the rarities

When this material originally resurfaced in an earlier Rhino-celebrates-the-'70s program, many rock scribes contorted themselves into revisionist pretzels: this isn't so bad, they argued--none too convincingly. There'll be none of that here: much of the music on this colossal box set is godawful. The world doesn't miss the likes of Sammy (''Chevy Van'') Johns and Sammy (''Candy Man'') Davis. Or at least it doesn't miss the records they cut during the decade of disaster flicks and Jonathan

(6-CD LP-sized box-set with 92-page hardcover book) In the beginning, there was Doris Day the singer - a terrific singer. This set states the case for Doris Day as a classic vocalist. The songs are great, the arrangements are great, but the singing is something else again! This set covers Doris's earliest Columbia recordings from 1947-1950, including hits like Love Somebody, It's Magic, Again, Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk, and Bewitched. There are movie songs, as well as some duets with

Features an introduction by Howard Cosell. Sinatra strides through the sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd with the confidence of a sports hero, accompanied by his handlers and bodyguards. If not for the gray hair and tuxedo, he could very well be--Howard Cosell's histrionic introductory rap sets the concert up as a world championship bout. While this 1974 concert does not capture Sinatra at his prime (at times his voice sounds weak and he chokes on a few high notes), his tone improves over

''Communist, Eastern European countries... may have come up with Karl Marx,'' punk entrepreneur Brett Gurewitz once said, ''and they may have come up with Trotsky, but they'll never come up with Chuck Berry.'' The 1950s' rock revolution, this four-CD box is designed to remind us, led to more than just Happy Days and Grease; it was part and parcel of the movement for social change in racial and sexual terms that, like the music, was impossible to stop. Of course, it sounded great, too. (''That

On Another Time, Another Place, Engelbert Humperdinck explored the repertoire of the 1970s popular song, aided by the beguiling arrangements of Laurie Holloway, Les Reed, and others. In Time features sensitive renditions of numbers such as '(They Long to Be) Close to You', 'Life Goes On,' and many more..

Englebert Humperdinck, king of the romantic balladeers, kicked-off the 1970s's phase of his career with We Made It Happen, one of his many Decca Albums. It is chock-full of beautiful songs including 'Everybody's Talkin', Wandr'in' Star', Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head' and many more. From 1971 comes Sweetheart, and it features romantic material which, of course, is beautifully interpreted..
