A String of Pseudo Pearls

Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits
Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now

...on soul music. A String of Pearls Going back to my dad’s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called “Guilty”. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges’ wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was wiped, as so many “Top of the Pops” episodes were prior ...
...that their compilation CD “A String of Pearls” had to be worth a punt if only to reminisce about my childhood. The album has 24 tracks, including all singles and B-sides the girls recorded. To the best of my knowledge the Pearls never released an album in the seventies so there are no obvious “album tracks” but there are several curiosities if you are familiar with music from the early 1970s. The overall sound is of close harmonies and pseudo Phil ...

Review of Elvis (Restored) - Elvis Presley

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. ...

Bert Weedon-I love you-you will too!!

Advantages: super good music
Disadvantages: inlay and cover design

...rush of our days. The very best of Bert Weedon is a compilation released in 2004 by EMI Gold label and it's the reincarnation of the best work of this forgotten genius. Now if you listen to his music bert weedon tries very hard to influence the music of his time by giving the guitar sound a sweet and sour taste by alternating very quickly the rithmicity and the tones of the guitar. This compilation tries to mix the stages of his entire collection ...
...thats because it is not gradual in any way and does now respect the order of the songs for the listener to really understand the evolution of this artist So if someone listens to this compilation it will probably think that bert weedon was not such a genius but his music was just ok. That is wrong in my opinion and thats why the creators of this complilation are to blame Thats why If you will own this compilation I advise you to listen first to the ...
