Spread over four generously filled discs, this set contains every released recording The Yardbirds made under Giorgio Gomelskys (the legendary original manager of The Rolling Stones) mentorship. In addition to several rarities & alternate takes, it also contains outtakes from two recording sessions from 1966, which give a fascinating insight into the groups creative process in the studio. Including their four smash top ten hits, Shapes Of Things, For Your Love, Still Im Sad & Heart Full Of Soul, the set traces the groups development from hesitant Chicago R&B copyists with Eric Clapton on lead guitar to the swaggering, ear-bending psychedelic rock of the Jeff Beck-fronted line-up. Digitally remastered from the best available audio sources, these seminal recordings have never sounded better. Housed in deluxe hard-back book-style format & meticulously researched & compiled by Yardbirds

Metros double-disc The Legendary Story of Sun Records is a decent general retrospective of the seminal labels output, offering a good sampling of its blues, country, and rockabilly material. Little Juniors Blue Flames "Mystery Train," Johnny Cashs "Folsom Prison Blues," and Carl Perkins "Blue Suede Shoes" provide definitive examples of all of these styles, and while its true that this collection reprises many of the highlights found frequently on other Sun compilations -- particularly Roy Orbisons "Ooby Dooby," Jerry Lee Lewis "Great Balls of Fire," and Bill Justis "Raunchy" -- it does dig a little deeper into the labels catalog. The Million Dollar Quartets "Peace in the Valley" and "Down by the Riverside" arent frequently heard on this kind of collection, so they make a nice counterpart to the better-known "Paralyzed." Likewise, Barbara Pittmans "I Need a Man," the Prisonaires "Just Walking in the Rain," Howlin Wolfs "Color and Kind (Look-A Here Baby)," and Malcolm Yelvingtons "Its Me Baby" give the collection a little more depth than might be anticipated. Tracks by Carl Mann, Rosco Gordon, Sonny Burgess, and Little Milton round out this compilation, which may not be definitive but does manage to be better than average in terms of quantity and quality.

Ugly Americans is the true story of John Malcolm, a Princeton graduate who traveled halfway around the world in search of the American dream and pulled off a trade that could be described as the biggest deal in the history of the financial markets.

Controversy has steadily shadowed the 1968 sinking of the U.S. nuclear submarine Scorpion. The navys official version of accidental sinking on a routine mission was challenged by allegations that the Scorpion was in fact torpedoed while shadowing a Soviet task force. Further rumors indict the spy John Walker for providing confidential codes to the Soviets, enabling them to track the submarine. Yet another account purports that the Soviets destroyed the Scorpion in retaliation for the sinking of one of their own subs.

Although The Long Walk is well written, that has nothing to do with why its a good book. People should read this book because it chronicles perhaps the most extraordinary true story of human endurance in recorded history.
