Version Born - Sly & Robbie

Advantages: 14 Track CD of the best bits from the Knebworth concerts.
Disadvantages: CD carries a Parental Advisory warning - quite a bit of swearing.

...- as well as the swearing, some of the lyrics are probably not suitable for the very young (or the very old) At one point Robbie tells the audience that: "I'm a singer, I'm a songwriter and I'm a born entertainer. This is what I do" And yes, he can do all of these things very well indeed - but whereas the concert was brilliant the CD is merely good. If you are a Robbie Williams fan you are going to buy this regardless of my opinion but my advice to anyone unsure whether to buy this album or not is to wait for the DVD of the concert to be released. Now that will be truly great.... Read review

Advantages: A return to form
Disadvantages: Not quite vintage Dylan through and through

"Neighbourhood Bully" and "License... Read review

Advantages: Great effects
Disadvantages: Cut before 9pm on most tv channels

...If you've not seen the full version of Robbie william's Rock DJ video then your missing the best bit. Towards the end of the video special effects show robbie stripping off his skin, then ripping off his flesh and throwing it at women to eat, ending in Robbie looking like a skeleton dancing around. Most versions shown on tv before 9pm are the cut versions as Robbie looks a little like Fredy Crugar when he's got no skin. I really like the video, it shows off he's cockey/cheeky side without being really big headed, which i think alot of people mistake for being.... Read review
