1973 - Skaville UK

...By december 1993, Guns N Roses, fronted by the lyrics of Axel Rose and the unmatched guitar riffs of Slash, had established themselves in the United Kingdom as one of the top US bands. They then released the Spaghetti Incident, consisting of twelve tracks, none of which were written by Guns N Roses. Since I Don't Have You was originally recorded by The Skyliners way back in 1958. The second track, New Rose, was written by The Damned in 1997. Down on the Farm by the UK subs in 1980 and Human Being was written by The New York Dolls in 1974. Raw Power was released by Iggy And The Stooges in 1973, andan old favourite, Ain't It Fun was written in '78. Buick Makane, my personal fave, was written in 1973 by T-Rex.

...You never know what you are going to get with the Strawbs. Electric UK, Electric USA, Acoustic UK or New Acoustic? Four versions of the band are on offer.

...I've admired Barry White's music ever since I first heard 'I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Babe' way back in 1973. His deep voice and soulful sound was unbeatable at the time, and he's still quite popular today. His 1976 Hit, 'You See The Trouble With Me' was the inspiration for a recent No.1 UK Chart Topper for 'Black Legend'. Barry White 'The Collection', has 16 tracks including 'Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Babe', 'Let The Music Play', 'Never gonna Give You Up' and his UK No.1 Hit, 'You're The First, My Last, My Everything'. Two songs on the album, 'Walking In The Rain (With The One I Love) and 'It May Be Winter Outside', are sang by Barry White's brilliant singers, Love Unlimited.... Read review
