Advantages: its good if your into pop music

...when i heard they were bringing yet another now compilation album i was gob smacked because i think its about time they stopped bringing them out .they are ok but when they are bringing this many out its just wasteing the buyers money.this one i found fairly decent concidering i prefer rock and indie music.you do actually get value for money with this product.i think they should stop bringing these now albums out because they are just full of the same crap everytime you listen to one.If you like your pop music fair enough go and buy it but its not my cup of tea at all.they should start mixing them up with rock music and other genres.they could call it now rock and so on for the other genres....

Advantages: CONTAINS ALL SONGS FROM THE FILM

The bonus track is weird but the 10 other songs justified the cost of the CD without worring about the bonus track. Very popular with all the girls at my daughters' primary school but unsure if it is as popular with older children. Despite that i have to admit that it is also very popular with their forty-two year old mother! An ideal Christmas present or stocking filler if they haven't got it already.... Read review

This one costs £11.99. **************************************** Silvio Rodriguez Dominguez is a Cuban; a Cuban of the Revolution. Many will find that a put off, sadly few people really understand the Cuban Revolution and only heed what the media say about it, but that is a different topic. I urge you to pay more attention to the artistic side of his though, for his melodic music is simply matchless and for those who understand Spanish, his lyrics are pure poetry... Read review
