COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING 'JANE MORGAN' JUNE 26TH 2018.

JANE MORGAN...FASCINATION...JASMINE /  GREATEST HITS... CURB RECORDS.

Tracks played....
Fascination / Till / With open arms / My hear reminds me / If only I could live
my life again / The day the rains came down / Two different worlds / Happy
Anniversary.

A classic ballad singer of the fifties with French connections. Superb voice which enabled
her to give songs that extra push to the big sellers of records in the fifties and sixties. The
orchestral backings on these records vary, but the singing...always professional. The greatest
Hits album has only eleven tracks but is a quality CD. The Fascination album has 56 tracks
but is of inferior quality to the other album. ********.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING DEL SHANNON & BOOTS RANDOLPH. JUNE 12TH 2018.

DEL SHANNON...RUNAWAY...UNIVERSAL RECORDS.
Tracks played....

Runaway / Hats off to Larry / So long baby / His latest flame / The Swiss maid.
Little town flirt / Two kinds of teardrops / From me to you / Handy man.
Keep searchin'.

A very complete set of Del Shannon's music which has been released even after
his untimely death in the nineties. An interesting album showing the highs and lows
of Shannon's recording career but not exactly a relaxed listen....more a noisy pop
rendition of the early sixties.*******.

BOOTS RANDOLPH......ONLINE ONLY.

Saxophonist spectacular...that"s Boots Randolph...with the put put put and the wailing
sax heard on many of the sixties hits....if there was a music brake he would probably
be there giving an extra oomph to the recording. However this could have been better.
There are three other "YAKETY SAXES" on this download and a half a dozen
slow plodding oldies.....but if you like the sound of sax this is for you.*******
