House Top 100 Vol.3 - Various Artists

Advantages: Lots of great songs from the eighties
Disadvantages: A few not so great

...I was in my local record store the other week browsing for ideas for mothers day for my wife from our two small children when my attention was caught by this particular offering. As most of you will be aware from my previous reviews, one of my great passions is eighties music and I couldn't resist buying this. Not for my wife I might add but for myself. So what was it that caught my attention? Well to be honest the graphics on the CD hardly grab your attention. Basically it consists of a dark blue cover with light blue lettering declaring that it is a Top of The Pops Album, with this letting enclosed to make it appear like a circle. The BBC logo is also detailed but this is hardly prominent either. In red lettering at the bottom of the circle the album stipulates the 80s, and provides details of a selection of artists...

...Reloaded Vol 3 I bought this CD when it first came out in 2001. I remember wandering around Woolies with about £30 in my pocket. I bought this CD and another compilation album. I think it cost me £14.99 but of course now it's 4 years later. You can find it on Amazon for about 50p and on Ebay starting from 10p. For 37 tracks, I think that's a big bargain. Also on Amazon, you can hear samples of all the songs, which is very useful to know if you'll like the whole album or not. Reloaded 3 is the third double CD in the Reloaded compilation list.

...**What Is It?** The Celtic Collection vol. 3 is Ceilidh music. A celidh, by the way, is a dance with only scottish dancing. This CD has 12 tradtional songs so it would be great if your where hosting a Ceilidh or if you just love dancing! This is a one disk CD written by various artists. **Quality of Music?** It is great! It is very clear and you can hear the accordion espiecially well! There is no voice in this and only the main folk instruments accordion,fiddle and a little drums. It is very well recorded so you can put it as loud as you like or a softly as you like and you can still hear it clearly. **Cover Quality** Very nice. Has a celtic not around the edge as a border then a view of the ocean. Think it is Loch lomond but not sure? Anyway very nice picture and the back with the traclist is clear. It does lack color...
