Female Vocalists Of The 1950's - Various Artists

Advantages: it's music !
Disadvantages: hard to find

...this should be called: Female Of The Species - Various Female Artists. Way back in 98 when Phil Earle, head honcho of law and auder looked back at his catalog of releases he realised that none of them featured any women so he set off to put that right and hunted the rare and hard to find artists on this compilation. The result : a double cd of pure electronca made by women .encompassing an incredible scope of styles rarely found on a compilation like this.

Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review
