Essential Recordings 1955-1965, The [CD On Demand] - Frankie Vaughan

Advantages: 104 songs means great value for money, plus, a book!
Disadvantages: Not a chance of getting this on your CD shelf, it is a tall book too!

...I couldn't believe my eyes when I realised that a review hadn't been written on this great box set. Mainly because it is Johnny Cash, and hence, a legend (as the title of the product suggests)! I shall start straight away with mentioning that you won't get a huge description about every song on the album, as you would with my normal reviews. "Why, Alastair, WHYYYYY?!!!" I hear you cry... well, frankly, because there are 104 songs on the album, and if I did, I'd be here for a year....and so would you! :o) This product is, in my opinion, the definitive box set from Mr. Johnny "The Man In Black" Cash. The box set celebrates the 50th anniversary of Johnny Cash's recordings between 1955-2005. It consists of 104 recordings from 1955 through to 2002, the year before he sadly died. The set also includes 7 tracks that were previously unreleased... Read review

...on a surreal poem and set to music. I have had the record years, but it’s scratched, so I was delighted see that it was included in this collection. It is a very moving piece of music. 20.Simon & Garfunkel- Bridge Over Troubled Water: These two singers had been childhood friends and became the most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960’s. Their style of music was so different, Paul Simon wrote most of the music. 21.The Righteous Brothers- Unchained Melody: This song has been very successful for many artists, jimmy young (1955) Robson & Jerome (1995), Gareth Gates (2002). I personally feel that the righteous brothers (1965) version is without a doubt the best. This is a great favourite of mine and always will be. 22.Al Martino- Here In My Heart: This record was the first ever No 1 in the hit parade in 1952. DISC 2 : 1.U2- Where... Read review

...The Beatles have always been the band everyone has been mad about. When it used to be played on radios, admit it, didn't you sing along? I've been a fan for a few years now and was delighted when my uncle gave me this as a birthday present. I think it must have cost at the least £15 which is brilliant for 27 rocking tunes! This is the best songs produced by The Beatles all on this CD. On the CD is says exactly the same like on the front. The small manuscript/guide has an artistic picture of each individual Beatle. On the inside are all the pictures of all the records they sold. Below is all the info you probably need that I found on a website but I have added some of my own points to it too! Track 1: Love Me Do This song was recorded on September 11, 1962 at EMI Studios, Abbey Road, London. It was released... Read review
