"Least collectable because almost every household in the US had a copy. The cover is admittedly provocative but the record itself is good clean fun. Mr. Alpert was a brilliant pop arranger and not a bad trumpet player. I love playing this disc in the car on a nice summer day, it just seems to fit." Reply
"Lounge and nightclub Monk. In one sitting it might get a bit numbing for a casual listener.. Good" Reply

""Rolling Stones No. 2" spent 10 weeks at number 1 on the UK charts. The LP contains the proper version of "Somebody To Love" whereby "Now!" contains a studio run through. The proper version was not released in the States until ABKCO tacked it on to a compilation album with their release of the SA..." [+] Reply

"The movie and the soundtrack are both phenomenal. However I have an odd qualm about them when they're combined (which I guess... is just the movie): almost every single song could be removed from the movie and the plot would remain the same. Very little of the movie's plot is advanced via the son..." [+] Reply

"Dancing in the Street, Nowhere to Run, and Mickey's Monkey are the hits on the record. There's some serious awesome bass tone on this record. I also liked Mobile Lil The Dancing Witch and Nobody'll Care." Reply

"It's ok but two things need to be pointed out: -The sound is awful. The quality of this recording is so poor that almost make it unlistenable. There are 30s and 40s recordings that sound better and clearer than this. -The album turns from R&B to hollow beat/pop from #8 onwards. The quality of son..." [+] Reply
"A simple recipe for a successful adult contemporary album, pick great and famous melodies and turn them into instrumentals with a Latin twist. Easy but fun. Bangers: Tijuana Taxi, Spanish Flea, Zorba, This kind on music was a recipe for success during the mid-sixties" Reply

"I just heard the most interesting track from the best of RR kirk titled " Variations on a theme from Hindemith"..really liked it, but the album is not on this website yet, so this was the only place that I could comment. Reminded me a little of "Blues on Bach" by the Modern Jazz Quartet, but of c..." [+] Reply
