Annual 2009, The [Digipak] - Various Artists

The Beano Annual 2009

Advantages: Still got the classsical Beano characters, it only cost me 97p
Disadvantages: Some of the stories seemed quite adult for a childrens comic

I was on Amazon recently and needed to buy an extra little something to make my order to over £5 so that I could get free delivery, I saw ?The Beano Annual 2009? for 97p so I decided to get it! I used to be in the Beano club when I was younger, and had a subscription to the Beano magazine. I have to say though that I haven?t read a beano in about 15 years!

If the theme of this album had been similar to the Hed Kandi classics CD in 2006 it would be understandable - but this edition professed to be 'The Mix 2009'. On previous outings the main two CD's always featured the biggest tracks of the year and nothing else - a sort of House Music annual. The 'Chill-out/Wind-Down' themed third CD each time had previously been the only disc to feature 'classic house'. The Mix 2009 certainly isn't and if a general overview of 2009 in house music is what you're after then perhaps it would be better to look ...
