PETER GRANT ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEB 4TH 2014.

PETER GRANT....CD PETER GRANT ...UNIVERSAL
tracks played...
Walk away / The fool on the hill / You're the first, the last, my everything.
Spooky.

Still one of the great first albums ever released by a new British singer.
This young man Peter Grant showed great maturity even when appearing on TV
and through his choice of music to sing. After this CD did not receive
the adulation expected things changed. The next two albums showed a move away
to a more modern feel. I feel someone should have stuck to their guns and released
another album with the same idea as this one. It is so good.*****.

CONNIE FRANCIS 8 CLASSIC ALBUMS ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW JAN 28. 2014.

CONNIE FRANCIS...EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS...REAL GONE MUSIC. 4CD.
tracks played...
I'm nobody's baby / Time after time / Cruising down the river / I have but one heart /
Winter wonderland / Tweedle Dee / Anytime / Quizas,Quizas,Quisaz.

Amazing value as these eight original vinyl albums are digitally remastered and have
superior sound.Mostly released in 1958-60 but often sound fresh and well orchestrated.
Connie's style of singing was of it's time, but occasionally some tracks reveal  a futuristic
performance that you can't help admiring. She can be a bit shrill in some places and most
of the Christmas album is a little high-key , otherwise 101 tracks well recorded is a
value-for money release. ****.
