Now That's What I Call A Christmas Album - Various Artists

Now That's What I Call Music 69

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

on the same two disks. I could say I am not going to buy the next one but I probably will from impulse buying I can't help myself. The contents on this album are very varied I'm not sure if that is a good thing as not many people have such a varied in content. I am not sure how some of these songs made it to Number 1 in the charts as they seem pretty poor quality to me and there is a lot better songs out there at the time. Quite a few of the artists are still gaining a name for themselves in this country and were ones I had not heard of un-till purchasing Now 69 I think having their singles on this album is a brilliant way to help become recognised. So why did I buy it?..... I bought this album to play in the car mainly for on long journeys I have always bought the Now That's What I Call Music albums so I guess I buy them as much out ...

Initially it seemed like a really good cd, at least on first appearances, part of the Now series and featuring one of my favourite musical decades you would think it could do no wrong, sadly there are too many flaws making this cd a major let down. Consisting of 3 discs and 60 tracks, with a wide range of the decade's finest (and admittedly not so fine) artists, this should have been possibly the greatest 80's compilation of all time. The Now series of albums have in the past been known to feature a few really strong successful tracks backed up by lesser known songs and artists, but when they specifically release a 3 disc set dedicated to one era of music you ...

Now That REALLY IS What I Call Music!

Advantages: Great selection of songs
Disadvantages: Not as many tracks on the discs as the old CDs

With a great range of artists, the team at Now That's What I Call Music have redeemed themselves with this latest offering.
