Well Worn Grooves (Golden Oldies Of The 50s) - Various Artists

Advantages: A geat selection of the good old songs
Disadvantages: design on the cd could have been better

...Me being me i am a sod for buying albums with the good golden oldies on them. So as soon as this hit the shops i bought it. I paid £12.99 for it. And in my opinion is money well spent. I could not wait to get home and stick it on and when i did i was not dissapointed one bit. With artists on it like. Chad Kroeger (alright new artist but still good) Queen Roy Orbison Meat Loaf and Mr Mister Also tacks like. Hero Drove all night The best and Hard to say i'm sorry i'm sure you won't be dissapointed. Retailing from £10.99-£14.99 i think is a fair price for the amount of hours of fun you will have with this. This has got to be one of the best ballads album that has ever been made.... Read review

...This is one of the first compilation CD's I ever bought. At the time I thought it was fantastic, but over the years I've seemed to have grown a little sick of some of the songs. If anyone remembers the days of Shaggy and Oh Carolina, well, you'll like this compilation as it's full of old songs like that, (and that song sure does bring abck quite a few memories!) Artists include: Reel 2 Reel, Haddaway, M People, Aswad, Sister Sledge, Shaggy, Robin S, 2 Unlimited, Capella, Prodigy, The Shamen, Snap, Seal, S'Express and Black Box.... As you can tell by some of the above names, most of them are the oldies! Brilliant to keep for 'old time sakes'.... Read review

Advantages: Great jazz tunes from the Golden Age
Disadvantages: None

...This is real jazz, from the real Golden Age of Jazz. It's got the pace, the rhythm, the fluid trumpet playing, the relentlessly enthusiastic, rolling piano playing and the clear diction of some excellent singing of vocalists who could not only hold a tune, but who could capture your heart and soul, too… There's musicians with such great names as Muggsy Spanier, Meade Lux Lewis, King Oliver and Sidney Bechet. You do not get musicians called Muggsy nowadays. I wonder why? As well as straight out jazz such as the Dippermouth blues, there's also the dreamy and melodic April in Paris from Charlie Parker. Some jazz aficionados reckon that Charlie Parker eventually sold out. Well, perhaps he did. But some of his earlier work still stands the test of time. Jack Teagarden is on this CD, with So Many Times, a rather nice, well... Read review
