Pure Rock Ballads Vol.2 - Various Artists

Advantages: Some great classic listening!
Disadvantages: Brings back sad memories!

...Being a big fan of Rock Ballads, as soon as I heard this advertised I rushed out to buy, I even paid £15.99 at HMV for it, although I am sure you could buy cheaper elsewhere for instance play.com, Amazon.co.uk to name but a few, but I just couldn’t be bothered to shop around and I wanted to hear sooner rather than later.
