Advantages: Some great Songs Disadvantages: Some terrible Songs
As a proud owner of this album myself I can tell you that by buying it you will not be dissapointed. As an avid fan of 60's music myself, yet not from that era myself, i was as eager as anyone to get my hands on this product regardless!
Personally I enjoyed tracks 3,7, and 9 best. Some of the good old classics!
Admittedly the other ones may have been slightly poorly chosen, but I assume it was some poor uneducated survey collector somewhere who was asked to choose them. Regardless of this I think it is an excellent album.
When the album itself was delivered to me it arrived promptly and in good condition, I am just saying this because i had concerns it may have had been bodged, fortunately I was mistaken . ...
Advantages: The 6 number 1 records Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish
. Finally after 7 tracks we get something from the 70's! From 1974 it was #3 in the UK but only #4 in the US R&B Charts despite being classed as a soul song, so yes it was a hit but no it wasn't disco.
8. Going Back To My Roots - Odyssey. From 1981 and it was more popular in the UK than anywhere else as it was #4, its best in America was #55 on the US Dance Charts. What you might not know (and I certainly didn't until today) was theirs was a cover version of Lamont Doziers 1977 funk original. Oh and his version is better than theirs.
9. So Many Men So Little Time - Miquel Brown. From 1983 and produced by Ian Levine, the same guy who wrote and produced High Energy. This track was actually the 1st creation in the HI-NRG club music genre made in an attempt to prove disco wasn't dead. According to Ian Levines Youtube entry it was #1 pop in ...
Advantages: Good sound track Disadvantages: Poor Quality
I fully expected these recordings to be of a poor quality compared to today's standards as they would obviously be in the region of 50 years old. However, this DVD appears to be a compilation of various VHS recordings that have been recorded from recordings ...... from recordings ....... from recordings etc. until the quality has rendered the DVD virually unwatchable. In some cases the artists are barely recognisable. I have always been extremely satisfied with previous purchases from Amazon but in this case find it disappointing that Amazon should offer for sale an item of such inferior quality. I chose this item because I thought that the price of £22.99 would reflect the quality (as opposed to cheaper recordings) but find it hard to justify for a recording of this quality. I wouldn't pay 22 pence for it. NOT RECOMMENDED. ...
