CD. Recorded live in Paris, France and Toronto, Canada in 1976-1977.Though not exactly in league with one of rock's all-time great live sets, 1969's ,'Get Yer Ya's Ya's Out', this still contains many highlights, such as the funky "Hot Stuff," the Richards-sung "Happy," several blues covers that kick off disc two ("Mannish Boy," Chuck Berry's "Around and Around," etc.) and an awesome, album-closing triple punch of "Brown Sugar," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Sympathy for the Devil."Still cool after all these years. |

Dinah Washington - Birdland Broadcasts 1951 - 1952. CD. ) Whereas, it was then common practice for white artists to cover black R&B hits for mainstream chart consumption at the sstart of the 50's, Dinah Washington regularly reversed the situation. Long before Ray Charles got on the case, Dinah was covering C&W hits by the likes of Hank Williams (Cold Cold Heart). Elsewhere, it could be Top 10 mindworms by KayStarr (Wheel Of Fortune) and Guy Mitchell (My Heart Cries For You). Twenty six tracks, remastered. | Marvin Gaye - Best Of Live!. Dble CD. ) Backed by a seventeen member backing band, this set recorded at the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival in 1980 is a treat.

Seventeen tracks, including: "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)", "Got To Give it up" and "Let's Get It On" and "Distant Lover", |
