Trojan X-rated Box Set [PA] - Various Artists

Advantages: Timeless classics; 50 tracks for £7
Disadvantages: Recording quality of older tracks

...history, but at £6.99 during saletime, it's a steal! Alternatively, HMV sometimes include Trojan compilations in their "3 for £20" promotions - again working out at around £7 per album. ---SUMMARY--- Beautiful, chirpy, rustic music that has suffered a little, but given that some of these tunes were recorded on second rate equipment somew 40 years ago, it can be forgiven. Some of the instrumentals may be a little dull and the brass section a bit shrill, but it's the non-instrumental tracks with their distant vocals that are a real delight here. This particular set may be obscure for most tastes, so check out the UK Singles Box Set instead, it features: -Desmond Dekker: Israelites -Dave & Ansel Collins: Double Barrel -Bob & Marcia: Young Gifted & Black and a host of other late 60's, early 70's UK top ten hits...

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007
Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in

...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour... Read review

Advantages: It is fan-funky-tastic
Disadvantages: None

..., not for the music this time, which is quite 'normal' house music, but I like it for the lyrics. It is about a guy in a restaurant who has ordered a pizza, he is Italian, and words like Fork get confused with something else. Its more amusing than good I have to add, I can’t see it being played in any club for people to dance to. Surprisingly Cisco Kid has been around since 1998 and has had various tunes around the clubs 8. Lollipop (X-Rated Mix) - DJ Aligator Project "I wanna suck your lollipop" are how the lyrics begin with the following lyrics “I wanna taste it, let me suck it” sadly the lyrics aren’t as good as the trance style music in the background and yet another for the parental sticker on the album cover. Ali is the name of the leader of the DJ Aligator Project and he comes from Denmark. 9. If You Leave Me Now (Aldrich... Read review
