Tracks played...
I've got your number / That's my style / Unforgettable / Once / The boy from Ipanema /
After you've gone / Joy House.

Good value 2 album set. 21 songs all pure magic from the slightly bluesy Miss Lee.Mostly
new material including some singles that did not achieve big sales, but this does not detract
from Peggy's way with a good or slightly inferior piece of music. She can't go wrong.****.

EYDIE GORME ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW.MAY 20TH

EYDIE GORME...EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS...REAL GONE MUSIC.
Tracks played...
Love is a season / You're getting to be a habit with me / You're just in love / Love letters
Tip toe through the tulips.

Eight albums on one CD collection is good value, although in this case, most seem to be
in MONO. Good orchestrations but some,dated. Eydie has a sharp voice on some of the
tracks but she is vocally successful on others. A mixed bag.Still good value from a good
singer.***.

JULIE LONDON +EUROVISION 2014 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW 13TH MAY

JULIE LONDON...ALBUMS JULIE/LOVE ON THE ROCKS...CAPITOL/EMI.
Tracks played...
When the red red robin / Doncha go away mad / What's new? / A cottage for sale / The man that
got away.

Languid voice, close to the microphone,sweat and silky....That's Julie London! It's a
completely different experiance in vocal superbness close to the male crooners of
yesteryear ....but with a strong feminine slant. These two albums joined together here
on one CD are her second and third releases. "Cry me a river" started it all off for Julie
follwed by many album releases all available today. The second album is just slightly
 better than the first. ****.

EUROVISION 2014.    DOWNLOAD. (It's much cheaper)
Tracks played...
Rise like a phoenix...Conchita.(The winner) / Calm after the storm.(2nd) / Coming home
No predudice / Cliche love song / Cheesecake / Children of the Universe / Tick Tock.

Over 35  tracks of this Eurovision contest to listen to is a hard task. The winner and runner up
are appealing and there are some catchy up-tempo tunes to relieve the commercial rubbish but
otherwise it would be better just to download the favourites.....However ....to download the
 whole lot is amazingly inexpensive. ***.

FRANK SINATRA ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW MAY 6TH 2014.

FRANK SINATRA... A SWINGIN' AFFAIR....CAPITOL.

The availability and cost of Sinatra's albums has lately taken a "Good Value" turn in the CD industry
with compilation sets inclusive of eight or even 25 albums that have been  previously released.
All are good value. A Swingin' affair is available as a single costing about £6, and is a follow
up to" Songs for swingin' lovers" .....some say a better album. I say it is just as good with Nelson
Riddle's orchestra smothing their way through 16 tracks. It now includes the previously missing
Lady is a tramp" . Just Great Sinatra.*****.
TRACKS PLAYED
I wish I were in love again / I got plenty of Nuttin' / I won't dance / Lonesome Road

DINO......DEAN MARTIN....CAPITOL / BEAR FAMILY / OTHERS
tracks played...
Arrivedeci Roma / There's no tomorrow / Non dementica / Just say I love her
Take me in your arms / Bella bella bambino / On an evening in Roma.*****.

Superb sophisticated listening. Lush orchestrations behind "Dino" singing at his best. He
caresses the songs with a natural romantic talent. The song choice is excellent....what
more can I say ? The twelve ballads on the album are available on DINO released by
Capitol records(EMI) but all twelve are available with added Italian songs on other
independant labels.

DON MC LEAN + MATT MUNRO ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW APRIL 22ND.

DON MC LEAN....FAVOURITES AND RARITIES...UNITED ARTISTS IMPORT.

tracks played...
If we try / Castles in the air / Superman's ghost / Milkman's matinee / Profiteering blues
And mother came too.

48 tracks including ALL his hits with a wealth of new material and a few concert choices
this seems like a very agreeable bargain. On download it is excellent value...buy it on CD
and it costs a lot more. You could say Don McLean is an acquired taste but because of
his versatility many of his songs entertain as well as relaxing your mind. Very enjoyable.*****.


MATT MUNRO....RARE MONRO.....EMI.

Tracks played....Fare thee well my pretty maid / Fools rush in / My kind of girl / Without you
Born free.


Some tracks I have never heard before and on other tracks you have different"takes" of his
hit records. If you are familiar with these songs you will notice the difference. The backing
is altered, Matt sings it slightly differently, the backing is appalling.....and with " My kind of
Girl" the whole concept is new. More Elvis than Sinatra !! Monro's voice conquers all. It is
one of the most pleasing voices I have ever heard. No gimmicks, and in this case, no echo
just perfect singing.*****.
