Best Of The Joe Gibb Years, The [Remastered] - Dennis Brown

Advantages: Easy listening, smooth cool sounds
Disadvantages: Not long enough

...been reported to say that what the record company has done is tantamount to theft. So with these issues in mind he set up his record label under the name of simply red.com financed for a reputed 3 million of his own money(although it could be said he could aford this as his estimated wealth is 40m ) The gamble paid off as the album went Platinuim. The tracks on the album are Home (3.17) Hucknall Fake (3.58) Hucknall Sunrise (3.19)Hucknall/Hall and Oates You make me feel Brand New (5.05) Tom Bell & Linda Creed Home Loan Blues( 5.00) Hucknall Poasitevely 4th Street (4.05) Dylan Lost Weekend( 4.05) Hucknall Money in my Pocket(3.38) Joe Gibb & Dennis Brown Something for you (5.59) Huchnall Its You (3.15) Hucknall Home (reprise) 0.53 The lyrics of the first track perhaps reflect the thoughts of Hucknall himself that he wishes...

Advantages: Classic tracks, diverse, some great versions.
Disadvantages: Not everyone's cup of tea

...Joe Brown and the Bruvvers were around in the early to mid sixties. They were not really my sort of thing but Hubby, being slightly older than me, was a fan. Shopping recently he saw a CD, The Very Best of Joe Brown, 50th Anniversary and promptly bought it.

Advantages: Great version of white man in hamersmith palais
Disadvantages: white riot aint on it

...From here to eternity is an album that shows just how good The Clash were. The Clash were the ultimate live band, and now people who didn't get the chance to see them, or want to relive the past, this is the album to get.

Most of the classic songs are on here, with great versions of "White man in Hammersmith Palais" and "The Magnificent Seven". The Album does not have any weaknesses except that "White Riot" is not included, but this sad fact still cant stop this being one of the best live albums ever released.... Read review
