Hits Of '56 (Memories Are Made Of This) - Various Artists

Advantages: A great album, thathas bought back many pleasant memories
Disadvantages: A pity there a not 100 songs available

...My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the songs contained in this album. Although I was bought up in Australia & my wife in Wales, both of us recalled every song. The amazing thing was after 40 years we knew every song word for word. The album consists of 2 CD's with 60 songs, from artist in UK, Australia and USA. We have a number of LP records that include the songs contained in the album, but we can't play them. The fact that they are all on a CD brings life in 2005 to 60's hits. Hits that would be lost forever if it wasn't for modern technology. We highly recommend this album to those who can remember the 60's and want to relive those great days.... Read review

...ever No 1 in the hit parade in 1952. DISC 2 : 1.U2- Where The Streets Have No Name: Bono and his band have made some outstanding songs over the years and he wrote this one after returning from a relief mission in Ethiopia. A brilliant record indeed, well I think so, you might not agree. 2.The Police- Don’t Stand So Close To Me: The lead singer is the famous Sting, he wrote this record about a teacher who lusts after one of his students. The police were big in the seventies and had a large following. No one has a voice like his, if you know what I mean. 3.Queen And David Bowie- Under Pressure: This was the first time that Queen had ever sang with another artist and was their 2nd number one hit. Freddy and David’s voices worked really well together. 4.Soft Cell- Tainted Love: This record was a huge hit and one... Read review
