Legend (The Best Of The Early Years) - Dean Martin

Would you like to retire 10 years early?

Advantages: Good advice, clear plain english, accessible to all
Disadvantages: none

Anyone who has read any of my reviews in the past will notice a clear personality defect emerging. I like the high life of top notch restaurants, but crave the security that being in charge of my financial destiny brings. Like the white stripes once wrote 'the two sides of my brain need to have a meeting'. And so it was Head 2 that I was wearing the day I picked up 'How to retire 10 years early'. I have to fly a fair bit for my job, not for much longer though, my pregnant stomach is becoming more and more noticeable and then my evil boss will no longer be able to send me away?ha-ha!!! Anyway I was at City airport in London, home of the apprentice reject, the blackberry addict and the if I talk loudly enough into my blue tooth someone will surely realise my importance deluded fools. Wandering amongst the bags and designer nit wits ...

Review of How to Retire 10 Years Early - Martin Bamford

Dean Martin... Do you know him?

Advantages: 30 classic hits on one budget priced album nicely made
Disadvantages: Not remastered but not that bad really it as sounds fine

Dino Paul Crocetti, or Dean Martin as we all know him, member of the original Rat Pack, was one of the greatest performers of his time. I purchased this CD in Virgin some time ago now, so I don't know what the going rate online for this album currently is. There are many places you can look for cheap CDs but it isn't my job to list websites, but to review this compilation CD. First of all, I'm not sure how many young people Dean would appeal to. I think the younger generation ought to be introduced to him and this album is the perfect introduction. It has all his number one hits, some obscure songs and my personal favourite, Volare. Sadly, this compilation is not remastered in any way, but in some ways it adds to the closeness you feel while listening to the album. You feel he is in the same room with you.

Review of Dino (The Essential Dean Martin) - Dean Martin

Kool's Gang And Their Great Hits (The Early Years)

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

would be hard to resist this early Kool & The Gang work as they show how they can build up tunes up on some the most exciting drum creations, which is complemented by the way that Kool gets down to the deep bass work to assist it in the best way he can. It is a fly groove and does its job well. **Five Stars** 14. ?Pneumonia? Album: ?Live At The Sex Machine? Year: 1971 I have to say that this was a pretty unmemorable one here and one which needs a little more time to get into as although it sees the band getting down to the same sorts of stuff which made them so big in the game, it wasn?t really until I heard the funky George Brown breaks in the drumming where I really took notice and once that fell into place, the rest of the track seemed to make more sense as they make a song which takes from the Funk of the late sixties. **Four ...
