Love Like Ours - #694 Streisand, Barbara 1999 Columbia 9/21/99 Bab's voice soars like always but the sappy content soon sours the tone of this effort. The constant line notes about her hubby and new found soul companion makes this a quick bore. Hubby James Brolin gets more cover exposure on this album than Babs does. Wonder what she'll say about it when he leaves. Purchased: 11/1/99 - BuyMusic.com $9.99 Rated: 3	Twelve Days In December Carols For Solo Piano- #196 Strickland, Rick 1990 Quintessence 1/1/90 Purchased: 12/22/91 - Century 21 $4.99 Rated: 3	People - #271 Striesand, Barbara 1969 Columbia 1/1/69 Babs hit the chart with the title song. She took paranoia and made it a sound. Broadway has never had such luck. Her nose and sound carried the Broadway musical sound into the America Lexicon. Before, Broadway music was pop, after Babs it was a style. Purchased: 3/1/91 - J&R $10.00 Rated: 5
Fever Pitch - #626 String Fever 1991 Koch 6/12/91 A close out value. Sting orchestra with a natch for Jazz with a Jazz orchestra sound. Wonderful change from the run of the mill stuff. Purchased: 2/12/96 - Tower Outlet $1.99 Rated: 4	Primal Magic - #420 Strunz & Farah 1990 Mesa 1/1/90 This might be a 4 if you are in the mood to listen to it. The first "hit" of a World Beat album in the 1990's. Good guitar with a Spanish accent. I like it every once in a while. There are times that I cannot take it and there are other times that I love it. Today I loved it. Purchased: 6/1/90 - J&R $12.99 Rated: 3	Four Seasons, The - #38 Stuttgarter Kammeror 1987 London 1/1/73 This was my favorite album for the longest time. I have heard the 4 seasons from this and over and over and over again at William Lipton LTD so much that I have a hard time liking it anymore Purchased: 4/1/87 - $9.99 Rated: 4
Submedia - #646 Submedia 1990 9Winds 1/1/90 Electronic dreams and musings. It is a refreshing break of new age into Jazz, with too much of a progressive bent to make it a 4. Purchased: 6/10/96 - J&R $4.99 Rated: 3	Happily Ever After - #636 Summer, Donn 1977 Polygram 1/1/77 The queen of disco sings her songs. Purchased: 6/25/99 - J&R $7.99 Rated: 4	Twenty Greatest Hits - #57 Supremes, Diana Ross 1986 Motown The first CD I ever received as a gift. Lousy recording of great songs. Purchased: 1/1/86 - Gift $0.00 Rated: 1
Global House - #2 Svag, Oystein 1995 Windham Hill 1/1/95 Really good world beat music. Australian sounds, mixed with just about everything else Purchased: 4/15/95 - J&R $13.99 Rated: 4	Compact Jazz - #101 Swingle Singers 1966 Mercury 1/1/66 The 1950's doo-woop done in Jazz. This music was dreamy back group vocals done for a great many movie mood moments. This group is the best of a genre that has all but disappeared. Vocal harmony that blends and overcomes background instruments. The human voice used as an instrument in a more pure sense. La da dums and so forth. Purchased: 1/1/88 - J&R $8.99 Rated: 4	Electronic Realizations For Rock Orchestra - #407 Synergy 1975 Passport 1/1/75 Excellent electronic music. Where have we all heard this played? Was it on the Cosmos Series by Carl Sagan? I think so. It stands will on it's own. Its stands even better when associated with a visual theme. This is artistry that did not gain a large commercial market. I am glad I found it. It is full of liver verve and presentation. Legacy, the first selection, is a good piece of music, memorable. It deserves permanence. Purchased: 1/8/92 - Tower Outlet $3.99 Rated: 5
