Very Best Of Burt Bacharach, The (Deluxe Edition) - Jet Set (The)

Advantages: All the hits on one Album, Easy Listening, Value for Money
Disadvantages: Addictive

...in its Tone but an ultimate classic. 13 I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN - DIONNE WARWICK (1969) * 14. NIKKI -THE BURT BACHARACH ORCHESTRA & CHORUS (1966) This is just an instrumental, all very light and easy listening. 15. MEXICAN DIVORCE - THE DRIFTERS (1962) This is an unusual song. I am still unsure why anyone would write a song about 'Mexican Divorce'. However, the song is incredibly quirky and you can't help sing the chorus. 'One day married, next day free!' For those of you who have never heard the term 'Mexican Divorce', it refers most specifically to a period during the 1960's when Americans would travel South the Mexico where they could obtain a less expensive and quicker divorce procedure that was legal. The parties would not need to show up for the divorce hearing and could just send a lawyer!! Obviously a fad... Read review

Advantages: The finest live album ever created. entertainment 100%
Disadvantages: Are there any?

...One of the finest live albums of all time, by one of the greatest live acts of all time. This was taken at the height of the who’s popularity and musical ability. With these two factors convening upon one another the inevitable occurred…a classic was born. All of the who’s finest songs get played with the usual added solos and improvisations. You will get a fantastic 15-minute epic version of ‘My Generation’ including the usual Tommy montage. However the best has just become better with the able addition of a second disk and new packaging in the ‘deluxe edition’. The new album contains a near complete performance of Tommy. Tommy live is always such an exciting event, and this is one of the best recordings of a live version, only the isle of white festival 1970 comes close to this majesty... Read review

Advantages: Good music, mixture of styles
Disadvantages: Lacks originality in places

..." listed as track 6 and "All you have to do" being absent). Ok first before the real body of the review...Who are jet? Well Jet are an Australian Punk/grunge/hard/pub rock band, with hits from their first album such as "Will you be my girl" and "Rollover DJ", this is a follow up to that album (Get Born-2003). They took the name from the Wings song. The album opens with the very short track "L'espirit D'escalier" which is basically a sample of the final track more than anything and lasts for about 23 seconds. Perhaps unfair to class it as a trackl as such, but if you do you cant really rate it at all. 1/10 (or N/A tbh) Holiday opens the album properly with a steady and strong musical interlude before Nic Chester (the lead singer) vocal's kick in with a disturbingly indie feel which suits the rough sound of the song. A catchy chorus... Read review
