12 Classic Tracks - Paul Revere & The Raiders

Advantages: All time classic tracks, great feel
Disadvantages: None I could find

...in itself! Anyway – onto the music ** The Tracks ** CD 1 The CD opens with some cheering, then Hello Goodbye 3:46 One of the Beatles best! In the notes Paul says It is the first time he has sung it since he recorded it. It starts off with a couple of power chords, a bit of fiddling about then launches into the song. Which is really powerful, Those that are familiar with the original will remember the “hey la” outro, which sounded good live From this straight into Jet 4:03 A Wings classic, heavy (in the Paul McCartney sense) guitar, good drumming, a grat track All My Loving 2:09 Slight drum intro, then they launch into this classic Beatles song, you can detect a slight laugh in Paul’s voice – It must be because the band drowned out the audience (not like last time he did this live in the 60’s!)

Advantages: Some fantastic songs that benefitted from a live atmosphere.
Disadvantages: Some tracks didn't work vocally, a little Beatle bias.

...money but it's nice to be less cynical at least for the first half of the review. We got this for my Dad as a present a couple of years ago, following our trip to see Sir Paul ourselves. It was a good night but, unfortunately, I didn't really appreciate the fact that I was seeing a living legend perform back in 2003 and my interest in the four lads from Liverpool hadn't been ignited as of yet. THE ALBUM Unsurprisingly, to fit all of those 36 tracks onto one disk would have been near enough impossible. DISK ONE (lasts 52.40 minutes) 1. Hello Goodbye (The Beatles, 1967: 4.02 minutes) 2. Jet (Wings, 1974: 4.03 minutes) 3. All My Loving (The Beatles, 1963: 2.09 minutes) 4. Getting Better (The Beatles, 1967: 3.10 minutes) 5. Coming Up (Paul, 1980: 3.26 minutes) 6.

Advantages: ALL THE CLASSICS FROM YESTERYEARS - GOOD MIXES - SOUND QUALITY
Disadvantages: SOME SONGS I WOULDN'T RATE AS A "CLASSIC"

...TASTE AS OBVIOUSLY OUR TASTES WILL DIFFER WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC BUT I'LL LIST THE TRACKS WHICH I THINK MAKE THE ALBUM A SUCCESS. WILLIAM ORBIT'S - BARBERS ADAGIO FOR STRINGS This is a classic song which most of you will notice its from the Kevin & Perry film in the Ibiza hotspot which is Amnesia nightclub. It's a genuine trance song with a decent instrumental melodie which will remind you of dancing the night away in your local hotspot or on a 18-30s holiday. STORM - TIME TO BURN I remember this song when my brother was listening to it years ago in his bedroom with his mates and I was only knee-high to a grasshopper but it is definatly worthy of being called a Classic as in most nightclubs up and down the country will play this song still years after production. PAUL VAN DYK - FOR AN ANGEL This is a song where you can ask... Read review
