60th Anniversary Concert, The - Shirley Bassey

Advantages: Live, and excellent sound
Disadvantages: NONE

...Recorded live at the impressive Althorp Park in Northamptonshire U.K., it's easy to tell why this album was nominated for a Grammy. What a better way to celebrate her 60th birthday then with a live concert! Bassey is vocally superior to counterparts half her age, as she flawlessly belts out all her best on this CD. Having studied voice and music theory myself, I can appreciate the quality of Ms. Bassey's voice that progessively gets better with age. There's no shaky grandma voice here when she hit's those unbelievable high notes in "Hey Jude", "This Is My Life", and "I Wanna Know What Love Is"! Not only is every song a vocal masterpiece, but her audience interaction is fun and playful. An expanded version of this same concert is available on the Import CD titled "Diamond Collection" and on another CD titled "Contemporary Classics... Read review

Advantages: Lots of tracks and catchy chorus's
Disadvantages: a few 80's tunes

...Good old bond is known for its theme tunes, and this whole CD is dedicated to them. with the theme tunes from all the films (except 'The World Is Not Enough') it will keep you going for months. From Dr. No To Live and Let Die, from Goldfinger to Goldeneye. They are all great theme tunes, espcially with Shirley Bassey Powerful voice on Goldfinger, it will have you singing along in no time. Usually I don't like 80's songs but the 80's songs on this are actually good. So this Soundtrack CD is the one to buy.... Read review

So another DJ's got sick of that such a success could leave them .(excuse my English- I'm from Russia)and they (DJ's)took an originals of great Diva and started mixing classical songs to the modern tunes. The direction was right- it's impossible to make a bad thing with this magic voice. there is no disappointment. They made a great compilation (really great, trust me!) This is Away Team with dub energy mix on "Where do I Begin" Wild Oscar with break-beat-bond mix on "Big Spender" a couple of mixes on "Light my Fire" (by J.Morisson) and much more.... All 10 tracks sounds like one- it' a complete work. But most of all i love the final track by DJ Skymoo (deep-house and a little beat... Read review
