Advantages: Interesting story Disadvantages: Not always in chronological order
OK so I'll let you all into a little secret - Debbie Harry was my very first childhood crush. Parallel Lines was the first album that I ever purchased with my pocket money and I still have a vivid memory of Blondie's front woman parading around a stage on Top of the Pops wearing a ripped plastic bin liner and not a lot else. Oh those were the days of my twisted, adolescent fantasies?..
When I recently stumbled across a biography on the pop icon that is Debbie Harry in a charity shop it was inevitable that I was going to part with my 50p, if only to try and recapture some of my childhood dreams and besides I had four plane journeys in a week ahead of me so I needed plenty of reading material.
Platinum Blonde is the title of a portrait of Debbie Harry written by Cathay Che. It was written with Harry's full co-operation and when ...
Advantages: First time on cd for many tracks Disadvantages: pastiche agenda limits wider appeal
a dozen top tenners ,the unheard of but unforgettabe "Baby its you" sounding like a note perfect cover version of a song thet never existed provided the agenda for most of the first album included here ,and the nearly hit "Wonderful"with its flutes and strings still sounds fresh and innocent,and innocent being a perfect adjective to describe this enjoyable experience .
Mostly remembered for her bee hive hair do and cod glamour ,"The PlatinumCollection" offers a opportunity to show Mari Wilson in a more complimentary light ,being at least as entertaining as her contemporaries of the time like The Belle Stars and the Paul Weller sponsored Tracie!,the obvious nostalgic agenda can irritate after a while but then again this record is not designed for repeated plays merely quick bursts of sunday morning youthful recall.
This is the first time ...
Advantages: Huge collection of the very best of Genesis from all eras. Disadvantages: None that spring to mind
I'm 17 - yet my favourite band is Genesis.... Strange that, not many 17 year olds know about this great band. If they do, they?re most likely to not admit it because they?re embarrassed about their knowledge. The wonders of the human psyche. Another strange thing is, I like all three eras of Genesis, whereas most only like one particular era, usually that of Gabriel or Collins. I was slightly confused at first, when hearing both Peter Gabriel and Ray Wilson singing, as I was introduced to them by a Phil Collins track.
The way I see it, there are three eras in Genesis? history. This album, aptly named ?PlatinumCollection?, covers all three of them in some form or another.
Era 1, the Peter Gabriel years is covered on Disc 3. Don?t be fooled by the short track list, for the songs are nice and long. They?re not half bad ...

Album Notes
With a career spanning over four decades, Rolf Harris has found success in art, music, television and even sport. From classic tunes such as 'Tie Me Kangeroo Down Sport' and 'Two Little Boys' to improbable covers such as Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway To Heaven', the Australian's music career is as unusual as his choice of instruments. This light-hearted look at Harris's musical legacy includes examples of his hits, comic numbers, covers and bush songs.
