Great album

Advantages: Two Excellent albums together

...being slightly better. Saw Dean live six years ago and he played lots of stuff from these albums. The big number three hit Lucky Stars featuring Denise Marsa is included, as well as minor (but should have been big) hit Lydia, and the ones that should have been hits Woman Of Mine, Aerial and Well Well Said The Rocking Chair. Other stand out tracks include Company, S & M, and The Deli Song. Also recommended, Songs For Grown Ups from 2000 (He autographed ...

Review of Dean Friedman/Well Well Said The Rocking Chair - Dean Friedman

Budget Bargain!

Advantages: Fab price; Far better tracklisting than most 70s compilations; Loads of classics!
Disadvantages: The odd 'filler track' and uninspiring liner notes.

...A brief overview of the 100 Hits series What have your experiences with budget priced compilation boxsets been like? Mine have been hit and miss but I believe the 100 Hits series, currently found in most supermarkets, WH Smith, music retailers and online naturally is a goldmine series bringing together the well known classics with quite a few of those tracks that rarely get tracklisted elsewhere on 5 discs, all for the average price of £6.99-7.99 ...
...The main review. 100 Hits 70s was the first in the series I purchased and I can safely say the compilers know their music and have done a fantastic job in highlighting most of the music styles that pervaded throughout the UK charts during the decade. For the 70s fan wishing to reminisce or the music lover looking to expand their collection, this boxset is ideal. However, for those who view 70s music as simply disco, ABBA, Queen and Status ...

Review of 100 Hits - 70s - Various Artists

The Kinks Greatest Hits

Advantages: Original songs well-written and played
Disadvantages: Couple of weak tracks

Above all others, this CD is definitely The Kinks at their very best. Their enthusiasm for their music clearly shows through. Penned by Ray Davies, the songs still have as much appeal, to music fans of that era, as they did when they were first recorded back in the 60's. Four particular songs stand head and shoulders above the rest: 'You Really Got Me', purely for its foot-stomping, four-chord rhythm. 'Lola' which shocked a generation that had ...
...before. 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion' which accurately summed up fashion-concious London in the Sixties. Lastly, and arguably the best, 'Waterloo Sunset'. Hearing those descending notes on the guitar from the opening bars, you know instantly that you are going to hear a great song. One that, once heard, will never be forgotten. Although the other numbers on the album cannot hope to live up to the standard of these four, they nevertheless stand ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Kinks (The)

Brilliant!!!

Advantages: MOst creative thing I've heard in a long time!
Disadvantages: I wish there were more songs!

Brilliant!!! This whole concept is amazing! The Sex Presleys take some of Elvis' best songs, rearrange them, and play them as if the Sex Pistols would have played them. It's a bizarre and fantastic mix that rocks even harder than the Sex Pistols did... really! I've been grabbing for this cd over my "Never Mind the Bullocks" for the past few weeks. "Teddy Bear" takes "Anarchy in the UK" and makes it move and rock way harder than the Pistols ever did. ...
...with "Pretty Vacant" for what I think is the best song on the disc. It starts out with a huge sounding version of "Pretty Vacant" then launchers you into a wild Elvis ride that you have to listen to again and again. "Heartbreak Hotel" is layered over "God Save the Queen" and works so incredibly well that I wouldn't even believe that the two were separate songs and the Sex Presleys version was a weird cover if I wasn't familiar with the material. ...
