Additional notes

Album Notes: LIVING IS HARD. is the first in a series of compilations drawing on the exquisitely rare 78s housed in EMI's Hayes Archives. While the archives represent a staggering diversity of music from all corners of the globe, for this outing, the producers at Honest Jon's choose to focus on West African transplants residing in the British Isles during the height of the modern colonial era. Serving as a unique snapshot into the immigrant experience, the music represented is a window into the folk and community-based traditions of the African Diaspora--and a revealing look at the beginnings of modern-day genres such as high-life.

Album Reviews: Uncut (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Most are a cappella call-and-response chants, sung, rather casually, in Wolof and Yoruba....All are utterly fascinating."

Now That's What I Call Music 69
Review of Now That's What I Call Music Vol.69 - Various Artists by  Hsaxo

Advantages: Some good tunes, suitable for anyone any age
Disadvantages: Also some poor quality tunes, getting worse each time a new ones out

...42 poptastic tracks on them… Disk one track listing is as follows *1. Duffy - Mercy This is a song of Duffy's debut album that made it straight to number one from the first internet download releases. Her music is said to be similar to the music from Amy Winehouse. Duffy is originally from Wales and became famous from a talent show. *2. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music A catchy very lively song by Rihanna similar to some of her other releases favourite of mine on this album. This song is from Rihanna's album 'Good Girl Gone Bad'. *3. Basshunter - Now You're Gone I had heard this song before I heard it by Basshunter not sure where but it was familiar, a really fast easy to get into song. That has been successful in various countries as well as the UK, I feel it is one of the best songs on this album. *4. Girls Aloud... Read review

Review of 101 80s Hits - Various Artists by  supercityfan

Advantages: Music from the greatest generation ever
Disadvantages: No Frankie, Wham, Pet Shop Boys

...as Queen enjoyed a renaissance period following their unbelievable success at Live Aid. 2.: Heaven Is A Place On Earth – Belinda Carlisle Undoubtedly Belinda’s biggest hit following her split from the Go-Go’s. I wasn’t a big Belinda Carlisle fan but this wasn’t a bad tune. Fairly typical of the eighties, with its upbeat poppy type style. 3.: Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves Before enjoying Eurovision success, if there is such a thing, with Love Shine a Light, Katrina enjoyed mainstream success most notably with this pop ditty. It was good at the time but has undoubtedly aged in the ensuing period (both the track and the artist). It’s hard to be too critical of it but conversely it isn’t one to go overboard on either. 4.: Power Of Love – Huey Lewis & The News One of three songs sharing the same title all released...
