Gold Collection, The - Fats Domino

Advantages: His sound will last forever, this cd is a classic
Disadvantages: Nothing about Fats is a disadvantage

...I cannot find a fault with this artist or cd as how can a man as successful as Fats Domino have any dis-advantages.

Disadvantages: Nothing

...IThis product was £12.99 its a two CD-set, includes all of the Stones tracks that were part of the original Rolled Gold vinyl LP plus an additional 12 tracks that were not included in the 1975 retrospective release. With a total of 40 tracks, including all of the biggest hits of the first ten epochal years of the Stones' recording career, Rolled Gold+ is an essential collection that explains just how the group earned the right to be called "The World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band."
