Tomorrow
Artist: Tomorrow
Community Score: 10.00

Tomorrow's sole album was a solid effort, with quite a few first-rate tracks. "My White Bicycle" was one of the first songs to prominently feature backward guitar phasing, "Real Life Permanent Dream" has engaging English harmonies and sitar riffs, "Revolution" is an infectious hippie anthem, and "Now Your Time Has Come" features intricate...

Artifacts, 1958-1970
Artist: The Beatles

One strongly suspects that the existence of this five-CD box, in tandem with a handful of other packages of this type, was largely responsible for getting Paul McCartney (and others) to take a serious look at what was in EMI's vaults, resulting in the release of the Beatles' Anthology series. In 1993, however, this was the only game in town: 124... Read More

The Freddy Jones Band
Artist: The Freddy Jones Band
Community Score: 10.00

This 1994 release by Chicago quintet Freddy Jones Band is actually a reissue of the band's debut independent offering. Led by the dual attack of singer/guitarists Marty Lloyd and Wayne Healy, with Healy also contributing the lion's share of the lyrics, the band fits snugly in with the H.O.R.D.E. bands like Blues Traveler and the Dave Matthews...

Distant Sun
Artist: Crowded House

"Distant Sun" was released as a CD single in the U.S. in 1994, backed by live versions of "Pineapple Head" and "Locked Out" -- both recorded in Munich December 12, 1993. ~ Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide Read More

Complete Christmas Collection 1963-1969
Artist: The Beatles
Community Score: 8.00

From 1963 until 1969 the Beatles put together single-sided flexi discs with a Christmas message that were distributed to their fan club members. All seven of these were included in a 12" LP and sent as a final farewell to members in 1970. Various bootlegs of that limited LP have been floating around for years, and with assorted outtake material... Read More

Steve Miller Band - BOX SET
Artist: Steve Miller Band

Close to definitive is the best way to describe the three-disc box Steve Miller Band. That, or missed opportunity. The set is divided pretty well, with the first disc being devoted to the early years, the second to the hitmaking era, and the third to the blues. Now, this isn't a hard-and-fast breakdown, since there's no one on God's green earth... Read More

The Best of Glass Tiger: Air Time
Artist: Glass Tiger
Community Score: 10.00

Glass Tiger first appeared in 1986, the year that Cutting Crew and the Outfield also debuted on pop radio. What do these bands have in common besides being from the same graduating class? Glass Tiger, like Cutting Crew and the Outfield, roamed between Top 40 rock and mainstream new wave. The Best of Glass Tiger: Air Time collects choice cuts... Read More

Bargainville
Artist: Moxy Früvous
Community Score: 9.00

On the face of it, Bargainville is one of those records that explains to much of the rest of the world (without even trying) that Canada's music scene is somehow terminally in major need of help. Trying to blend the Kingston Trio's then three-decades-old sly folk revival humor with the mingled joy and seriousness of the Housemartins -- and then... Read More

American Matador
Artist: Marc Bonilla
Community Score: 10.00

Guitar instrumentalist Marc Bonilla is to Robin Trower what Trower was to Jimi Hendrix, a slavish imitator who nevertheless goes off on tangents all his own. (Well, actually, some of Bonilla's tangents belong to Jeff Beck.) So, it's funny that on his second album, American Matador, Bonilla includes not one but two versions of "A Whiter Shade Of...

Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings
Artist: The Police
Community Score: 7.00

Despite their legendary status, the Police only released five albums during their brief reign from 1978-1983. In addition, the trio had amassed a healthy amount of both studio and live B-sides, plus songs that only appeared on soundtracks. For the 1993 four-CD box set Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings, every single song the Police ever... Read More
