An Insight Into A Hero

Advantages: A chance to hear early, live and unreleased recordings of songs and an insight to how
Disadvantages: Expensive, not designed for pleasure listening.

...regarded. ~~The John Lennon Anthology Boxed Set~~ Coming off the back of the Beatles Anthology collection, it follows in a very similar vein. These collections seem to becoming more popular these days in music with more such ones being released. What these such ‘Anthologies’ consist of is a mostly chronological collection of previously unreleased tracks of live performances, home recordings, demos, early takes, speech tracks and alternative and ...
...Anthology is no different ~~Details~~ This set consists of 94 tracks on 4 CD's, a booklet and a nice box to keep them in. However at £34.99 which I think was what I paid for it when it was released in ‘98, you might find it a little to expensive, but not to worry as there was a single CD album called "Wonsaponatime", released at the same time which has selected tracks from the anthology. As I’ve said it made up of live recordings, demo’s, early ...

Review of History Makers (Greatest Hits/+DVD) - Delirious

Historic stuff from the Beatles

Advantages: Many unreleased curiosities, some great songs
Disadvantages: A bit 'serious' and like a documentary, some pretty bad songs

...have if your a serious Beatles fan. It’s what you might call a significant, historic collection, basically. But I have to admit that listening to it is a bit like hearing the soundtrack to a BBC2 documentary programme, and I don’t in fact play the CDs that often. It starts with "Free as a bird", the 1995 No. 1 single, which can justifiably be credited to ‘The Beatles’, since John Lennon’s original demo was used with ...
...actually don’t mind it. The Beatles really didn’t want to record it, so it was probably a deliberate attempt to make it sound bad, so that the song would be handed to someone else - Gerry and the Pacemakers, of course. To be honest, I hardly ever listen to Disc 1. Disc 2 is altogether a different matter, though – I play this one far more often. It includes atmospheric live recordings, such as "She loves you", and "Twist and shout" ...

Say what you want THIS IS GOOD

Advantages: A good collection of hits,
Disadvantages: As always there are some fillers

...well next to each other, that they will satisfy all music tastes. It is a killer collection to rival all others, and I hope it is not the kiss of death as so many other Greatest Hits albums have been, as I am not ready for Texas' swansong just yet. ...
