Upon

Apollo Sunshine

Headless Heroes, 2008

The way I long to touch you
The Apollo Sunshine have always dabbled in Elephant 6-style psychedelica and sparkling pop melodies, but they've outdone themselves with "Shall Noise Upon." In particular, their third full-length album is a concept album about spirituality's effect, so they have ...

Once Upon a Time in America

Ennio Morricone, Edda dell'Orso

Restless Records UK, 2003

Classic Morricone
Why Ennio Morricone's brilliant score for "Once Upon a Time in America" never received an Academy Award (let alone an Oscar nomination) remains a mystery. Haunting and unforgettable, the 1984 soundtrack is the crown jewel of the Morricone catalog. After years of ...

The Greatest potty video ever!
My daughter watched this video and was potty trained in an instant! She watched this video when she was two, I gave her lots of juice and water so she had a full bladder and I set her lil potty in front of the tv. I turned the video on and she peed in the potty! And ...

Once Upon a Potty for Him DVD

Alona Frankel

Barron's Educational Series, 2003

Great video for boys
This is a great video for boys because it shows boys and using the potty. My 2 year-old son is very interested in watching it and will sit still for this short video. Good for beginning the potty training process.

At The Movies

John Barry, Frank Churchill, ...

Denon Records, 2004

Movie Themes with a Classical Twist
What's not to like about a good song from a good movie? All the classic movie themes (i.e., Titanic, Zorba the Greek, etc.) are here but played by a full orchestra. I considered this approach to modern music a true and distinct pleasure and a nice break from the ...

Mendelssohn: Elijah

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Felix Mendelssohn, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Still the Best (in most ways)
I sang the Elijah in college more than five decades ago and can still sing along all the choruses from memory. During the time since I have listened to every major recorded release. When I first wrote this review several months ago, I was comparing my vinyl set, ...

Once Upon a Mattress (1997 Broadway Revival Cast)

Mary Rodgers, Marshall Barer, ...

RCA Victor Broadway, 1997

Perfect
Though the show was met with negative reviews, and the original script should have been used, the music was kept intact, and made even better. Sarah Jessica Parker is a perfect Winnifred, and her takes on "Shy" and "Happily Ever After" are wonderful. There is no way to ...

Once Upon A Mattress (1959 Original Broadway Cast)

Mary Rodgers, Once Upon a Mattress pit orchestra, ...

Decca U.S., 1993

Nothing like the original --
No offense to any of the subsequent "Freds" but Carol Burnett OWNS this role. The recording is as fresh and funny as anything being done today and this is the version musical theatre fans should have in their library. Get it.
