Release Me (The Collection) - Engelbert Humperdinck

Advantages: The biggest selling records from a memorable musical era
Disadvantages: No Beatles, No Rolling Stones, No Elvis

.... HI HO SILVER LINING - JEFF BECK Amazingly Jeff never had a top 10 UK hit, and this ever popular rendition only reached the giddy heights of number 14 although it remained in the UK charts for a period of 14 weeks. The song has been re-released on a further 2 occasions but never peaked beyond its original release. Although failing to be a successful smash on this side of the Atlantic, the producers of this album are totally justified in including the track here as it is still huge to this day. GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE - CLIFF BENNETT AND THE REBEL ROUSERS Cliff Bennett's final UK single which peaked at number 6 on the UK chart and remained on the chart for a period of 11 weeks ion total. Similar to Hi Ho Silver Lining, this is another classic track which fully justifies its inclusion on this album. RELEASE ME - ENGELBERT... Read review

Advantages: Spans all their career and has some real gems, great remastered sound
Disadvantages: No. 1 doesn't always mean great! 3 tracks are pretty bad

..., and great value for money. If you already own all the albums, don't bother. But if you are just getting into the Beatles and don't know which peirod you will like best, or are just wanting to start a Beatles collection, this (along with Sergeant Pepper) would be the ones to own. Hope you enjoyed reading this! Please rate me as I like to know what you think of my first album review! : )... Read review
