ROBBIE WILLIAMS NEW ALBUM ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW NOVEMBER 20TH

ROBBIE WILLIAMS SWING ALBUM.
Tracks played......Go gentle / Dream a little dream / Soda pop / Putting on the Ritz.

Entertaining follow up to SWING WHILE YOU'RE WINNING this album contains
Buble like choices with many artists duetting with Robbie and in most cases the resulting
swing album is very effective. His voice seems to change to suit the material he has
chosen to record and I feel this album could be almost as popular as his first outing in
this genre. A more mature audience will definitely appreciate this but the youth of this
country may give it a miss.****.

CHRISTMAS CHOICES.

JACK JONES + OVERTONES ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW NOVEMBER 5TH.

JACK JONES..OUR SONG/IN CROWN. 2 PREVIOUS ALBUMS ON 1 CD. ZONE RECORDS.

Tracks played....Our song/Michelle /After today / You've got your troubles
                           Just yesterday / As time goes by.

Sixties albums on one CD is always good value. This is a mixed bunch with ballads, swingers
and some up-tempo pop. It doesn't all work, but Jack Jones voice conquers everything and the
whole listening effect is quite pleasant.***.

OVERTONES. SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES.WARNER BROTHERS.

tracks played....Saturday night at the movies / Do you love me / The bare necessities
                         All about you / Runaway / It had to be you.

Pleasant sixties pop again with a few pleasing enhancement tracks. The sixties pop is often
a straight version of the originals with Overtones voices. It is only when they try something
different as with "It had to be you" that things brighten up. 16 tracks . good value.***.
