 "…When You Pull Them All Together…You Make My Dreams Come True…"

Across the last 3 decades, Hall & Oates fans have had to put up with the occasional half-assed Best Of CD with so-so sound and a slew of very expensive Japanese imports for their huge canon of albums and 40-years-plus career. All of that piecemeal approach ends with this superlatively musical and beautiful sounding 4CD retrospective.

There's so much on here so let's detail the nuts and bolts first - "Do What You Want Be What You Are - The Music Of Daryl Hall & Joan Oates" by HALL & OATES was US-released 13 October 2009 on RCA/Legacy 88697 36974 2 as a 4CD Book Set of Remasters and breaks down as follows:

The first thing that hits you (apart from the superlatively annotated booklet with reminiscences on every song by the duo) is the SOUND. I've raved about VIC ANESINI remasters before (The Jayhawks, Stevie Ray Vaughan) and his transfers here are fabulous – warm, clear and never too pushed on the treble front. Every track is a revelation to me. The sonic hit off "She's Gone" is just amazing – it'll put chills on your arms. Then there's the parade of hit-after-hit that is shockingly impressive – "Wait For Me", "Out Of Touch" and "Do It For Love".

But better than that are the albums cuts that finally get to shine – "August Day", "You Make My Dreams" (lyrics above), "Your Imagination", "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid" and "Keep On Pushin' Love" - gems that deserve rediscovery. The unreleased stuff is admittedly not exactly bulging at the seams, but what they've chosen is actually worth inclusion. The "Have You Ever Been In Love" Demo is superb - while their molecular-level love of Soul Music shines through with their inclusion of classy covers by The O'Jays ("Me And Mrs. Jones") and The Mad Lads ("I Want Someone"). And the box set's title song "Do What You Want, Be What You Are" is given an awesome 2007 live going over that show these white Philly dudes have more soul in their little fingers than most people do in their entire bodies. Pretty impressive stuff…

Niggles – fans will immediately notice that two huge favourites "When The Morning Comes" and "Everytime You Go Away" are represented here by 'live' versions and not their beloved studio originals – but I'd defend the choices. The 1975 version of "When The Morning Comes" features a rare 'duo-only' live setting and its intimacy is just lovely - while the 9:30 minutes version of "Everytime You Go Away" features a churchy organ feel and is fabulously fleshed out with Acapella passages that elicit a genuinely thrilled response from the Japanese audience. I can see why they were chosen. The same applies to the beautiful Phillip Mitchell song "Starting All Over Again" – Hall has chosen a live version, but he's done so because it somehow has the depth it deserves this way.

Omissions - there's a great soulful exclusive on the 1999 soundtrack to "Runaway Bride" called "And That's What Hurts" – and it really should be on here (perfect box set material). There's nothing from the brilliant and criminally forgotten "Marigold Sky" album (1997) or the equally tasty Cover Versions set "Our Kind Of Soul”" from 2005 - that peach had covers but also 3 new songs, one of which was the blindingly good "Don't Turn Your Back On Me" – again a no-show. There's not enough from the wonderful "Change Of Season" album either and of course no solo stuff. Still – and I must stress this – what’s on here is the business.

Since 2009 Daryl Hall has become something of an Internet hero with his stunning "Live From Daryl's House" broadcasts – they feature him and invited musical pals going through Hall & Oates back catalogue with sidesteps into other favourite songs too. It features a band professionally set up in his living room with chitty-chatty clips in between. Check out soulful YouTube clips of "Pick Up The Pieces" with Alan Gorrie from the Average White Band, "Can We Still Be Friends" with Todd Rundgren, "Something To Talk About" (a Bonnie Raitt cover) and "Black Horse And A Cherry Tree" with KT Tunstall and "Cruel To Be Kind" with Nick Lowe. And prepare yourself to be quietly blown away.

To sum up - for most people a simple 1CD 'Best Of' or 2CD 'Essentials' would probably suffice, but I'd urge to dig deeper into your pocket. This Box Set is an impressive body of work – superbly presented, well thought out and beautifully mastered. It deserves (like the best things in life) to be put high on your "kiss list". And don't let those Eighties clothing choices put you off either.

Honestly – sometimes you just need a shoulder-pad and a big hairdo. Way to go boys…

I've been diligently collecting this series of 2CD sets since they started in 2006, and this 10th installment is the fifth twofer to cover his extraordinary Seventies output (Volumes 6, 7, 8 and 9 are the others and feature 1970 to 1975).

Volume 9 had a feeling of JB winding down in terms of quality – treading water a lot of the time - and despite Volume 10 feeling somewhat the same there is still greatness to be heard on this latest edition. Details first...

Released 11 February 2011 on Hip-O's own website in the USA, Volume 10 is British released Monday 28 March 2011 - "The Singles Volume 10: 1975-1979" by JAMES BROWN on Hip-O Select/Polydor B0015279-02 (Barcode 602527622408) breaks down as follows…(all catalogue numbers are US 7” singles unless otherwise noted)

Like Volumes 8 and 9 (see separate reviews), the 28-page booklet by noted JB expert and former tour manager ALAN LEEDS and is a joy to look at — a hugely informative read that's packed to the gills with track histories, concert posters, trade adverts, magazine covers and a thoroughly detailed recording Sessionography. The inlay beneath the see-through CD tray has an advert for a concert at the Miami Baseball Stadium with a string of guests including B.B. King - it's exceptionally well done...

And again, as in previous issues, the first-generation master tapes for the single mixes have been transferred by SETH FOSTER and he's done a truly superlative job — warm, clear and fabulously alive. There is hiss on some cuts like "Summertime," but mostly the music jumps out of the speakers at you — gorgeous sound. The word "Limited Edition" is embossed in gold lettering on the rear inlay (it doesn’t give numbers, but presumably it's a worldwide limited edition of 5000 copies like its predecessor).

Disc 1 opens strongly with 2 great driving-funky singles — "Superbad, Superslick" and "Dooley's Junkyard Dogs" (I think the shortened B-side is better than the longer An on Dooley's). The sample of David Bowie's "Fame" provides the backbeat for "Hot [I Need To Be Loved, Loved, Loved)" where James steals back a little of what everyone stole from him. Unfortunately there follows a cringingly bad disco version of the Nat King Cole 1946 standard "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons" with an equally cruddy version of the Jesse Belvin 1956 hit "Goodnight My Love" on the flip. Things improve on "Everybody Wanna Get Funky…" even if the false crowd start irritates a bit – it's good – but what comes next is another league altogether. 

"Get Up Offa That Thing…And Dance 'Til You Feel Better…" was shouted by JB at a lack-lustre audience and he had a hit in his brain. Done with a new band and fresh enthusiasm, they got it down in one take – and it funks like a mother. It's followed by another double-winner – the fast and funky jam "I Refuse To Lose" and its bluesy B-side "Home Again" – great stuff and both sounding spectacularly clear. "Bodyheat" is superb funk too - fully deserving its Number 13 position on the USA R&B charts. "Kiss In 77" is JB in Teddy Pendergrass loverman territory and it only half works, but its B-side "Woman" is far better – stylistically harking back to his 1966 King Records classic "It's A Man's Man's Man's World".

Disc 2 has its dogs as well – his terrible cover of Presley's "Love Me Tender" no matter how heartfelt it was smacks of opportunism almost a full year after Elvis' death, while the cloying "Someone To Talk" is sappy pap. His duet with Martha High on the Gershwin cover of "Summertime" is actually quite good, but when we get to tracks like "Eyesight" and "Nature", Brown just sounds out of time – and worse – he even sounds naff. It ends on a good note though – "It's Too Funky In Here".

To sum up – Volume 10 is similar to Volume 9 – the good and great vying with precisely the opposite (Volumes 7 and 8 are much better). But if you really want to know why he got the title "The Godfather of Soul" in the first place - and especially why funk fans dig him so much - then buy this superbly featured reissue and concentrate only on the good stuff.

By the end of the Seventies, James Brown wasn't troubling the national charts too much, but there’s enough on here to convince that JB truly was a genius. When all others had fallen by the wayside, he was still capable of producing the goods…

"Candles" by HEATWAVE (November 2010 UK Big Break Records (BBR) Expanded Edition CD Reissue and Remaster with Nine Bonus Tracks) - A Review by Mark Barry...

<iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=mabasreofcdbl-21&language=en_GB&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B0045U3AI0&asins=B0045U3AI0&linkId=de18ef73daf27725841b04cf41c5fe89&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

"…We’re The Syndicate Of Soul…Gonna Take Control…"

Like many Soul and Funk fans, I’ve been noticing Big Break Records (BBR) and their steady stream of interesting reissues turn up in the racks of better record shops in the West End of London (Sister Ray, Sounds Of The Universe and Reckless).

"Candles" was the kind of early 80's album that boasted 2 or 3 great tracks and the rest was filler – like so many records of the time. But what lifts this reissue above the ordinary is the wad of bonus tracks attached – and especially the truly fabulous remastered sound. Here's the posin' details…

Released 25 November 2010 in the UK - "Candles: Expanded Edition" by HEATWAVE on Big Break Records CDBBR 0024 (Barcode 5013929032422) offers the 1980 LP with nine Bonus Tracks and breaks down as follows (79:34 minutes):

1. Gangsters Of Groove [Side 1]

2. Jitterbuggin' 

3. Party Suite 

4. Turn Around 

5. Posin' 'Til Closin' [Side 2] 

6. All I Am 

7. Dreamin' You 

8. Goin' Crazy 

9. Where Did I Go Wrong 

Tracks 1 to 9 are the album "Candles" first released in December 1980 in the USA on Epic FE 36873 (charted at number 24) and then February 1981 in the UK on GTO Records GTOLP 0047 (charted at number 29).

BONUSES:
10. Gangsters Of The Groove (Single Version) [4:02 minutes, Edit]
11. Jitterbuggin' (UK Single Version) [4:00 minutes, Edit]
12. Where Did I Go Wrong (US Single Version) [3:47 minutes, Edit]
13. Posin' 'Til Closin' (UK Single Version) [3:40 minutes, Edit]
14. Turn Around (US Single Version) [3:59 minutes, Edit]
15. Find Someone Like You - a non-album B-side to "Gangsters Of The Groove" 7" single credited on the record as "Someone Like You" [3:58 minutes]
16. Wack That Axe - a non-album B-side to the UK 12" single of "Jitterbuggin'" [3:45 minutes]
17. Gangsters Of The Groove (UK 12" Remix) [5:48 minutes – album version is 4:22 minutes]
18. Posin' 'Til Closin' (UK 12" Version) [5:10 minutes – album version is 5:00 minutes]

In one of those new rounded-corner jewel cases, the booklet has 12-pages of colour photos, album sleeves, GTO and Epic singles and informational liner notes by HAYDEN JONES. The albums credits also include the bonus tracks – it’s very well done. But the big news is the sound…

The original tapes have been digitally remastered by ALAN WILSON at Western Star Studios and he’s done a truly stunning job. Every instrument is full on – and not in a loudness-for-loudness sake kind of way – the remaster is clear, muscular & an absolute blast to listen to.

The record’s big secret was soul/funk songwriter ROD TEMPERTON – he penned 5 of the album’s 9 tracks and more famously went on to write “Rock With You”, “Off The Wall”, “Baby Be Mine”, “The Lady In My Life” and “Thriller” for Michael Jackson. Temperton had been with them in the beginning in 1977, but by this time had long since left, but was still sufficiently involved with the group to arrange and contribute much of this album.

His signature winner “Gangster Of The Groove” opens the proceedings very nicely – it’s soul/disco/funk genius – an irresistible floor-filler even to this day. The problem with the album is that it never reaches that dizzy height again. “Posin’ Til Closin’” and “Turn Around” are good funky tunes and “Dreamin’ You” features that superb bass playing of Derek Bramble, but the soppy Lynsey De Paul cover “All I Am” is hard to listen to now. The finishers “Goin’ Crazy” and “Where Did I Go Wrong” are good too, but never really great. The 12”-only B-side "Wack That Axe" however is a superb bonus track.

The liner notes dedicate the release to band-member and co-producer Johnnie Wilder, Jnr. who died in 2006 – his brother Keith fronts a form of the band to this day. It has to be said that BBR have done his memory proud.

To sum up - "Candles" by Heatwave is a 3-star album given a 5-star treatment by Big Break Records (BBR) - and if you have any affection for it, then you need this superb remaster in your life.

The quality way this CD has been presented is going to make me investigate more of their releases. And at just under seven quid from many online retailers, it's cheap too. Recommended.
