Free Music Notes for Jackpot - The Best Bette ( Amazon Exclusive Bonus Track)
Free Music Review: They're not Rhino anymore, and they suck.
Hit: 1 Stars
The label touted as Rhino Records has every right to use the name, but they ceased being that singular and wonderful company when absorbed by Warner Brothers. Ironically, Warner Brothers USED to be one of the most aware record labels in rock, pop, or whatever genre of music you'd care to name, but that also ceased with the acquisition of this fine label, and morphing it into Warner Strategic Marketing.
The new Bette Midler hits CD, "Jackpot - The Best Bette" does absolutely no service to the fans or to the general public. Trying to shoehorn 35 years of music into one CD is criminal enough - the glaring omissions only serve to point up the fact that a two-disc anthology was necessary, and should have been compiled. This CD presents a skewed view of a unique career, just as the first hits cd, "Experience the Divine" did. There are several singles missing from the CD, I applaud the inclusion of "In the Mood", but where are "Married Men", "Under the Boardwalk", "All I Need to Know", and the delightfully crazed "You're Moving Out Today"?? (I also would have liked the unedited version of the latter, which I have on a British vinyl LP). Then there are the missing fan favorites, such as "Shiver Me Timbers", "Delta Dawn" (which, for the uninitiated, was almost a single until Helen Reddy recorded it, which forced Atlantic to go with a newly recorded "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"!!), "Twisted", and so many more which could have used the amazing new remastering. Because record companies are greedy b***ards who rarely give the consumer good value for the dollar (Think about it - you're STILL gonna have to buy SOMETHING ELSE to get that one or two songs this CD is missing!!), I give this comp ONE STAR and hope that a two disc comp is somewhere down the pike while I'm still breathing!!!!
Free Music Review: Make your own "Best of Bette"
Hit: 1 Stars
Well, all Bette fans know this ain't it! Guys and gals, grab up all your Bette Midler CDs, and I know all computers have a recording device or two, and clip your fave rave tunes! This CD is a rip! Someone is playing it so safe that Bette's real gem tunes are somehow omitted?
We all know which tunes need to be included on a "Best Of Bette." Don't be caught purchasing this mediocre collection. Bette fans, again, can make our own, and much cheaper! Save that $15 for the new Neko Case, or that totally rockin' outlaw ALejandro Escovedo or his collection! Geez - marketing today! Make your own Bette!!
Free Music Review: Not Great
Hit: 1 Stars
This CD is a repackaging of songs from other records. There's not much new -- I was hoping for a live recording of the Vegas show which is where the cover art comes from. A disappointment for a long time Midler fan.
