KYLIE THE ABBEY ROAD SESSIONS.
Tracks played...On a night like this / Better the devil you know.
Can't get you outta my head / I should be so lucky. ****.
A good value album at fourteen tracks but not all revisions of old
hits work. With an orchestral backing "Can't get you out of my head"
is the real winner and "On a night like this". Other tracks, some
taken at a slower tempo just plod showing lack of real melody
however it now fits into "easy listening" catagory extremely well.
TONY BENNETT. A SWINGING CHRISTMAS. ****.
Second year release priced down makes this a jazzy collector's
item especially featuring the Count Basie Big Band. Amazingly Bennett's
voice still holds up at the grand age of eighty four. Great background
party music.
PLAYLIST.
My Romance...Carly Simon...MY ROMANCE.*****.

2....DEAN MARTIN CHRISTMAS.
Recordings from CAPITOL and REPRISE all on one album. CAPITOL

---------------------------------------
OLLY MURS...RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME. ***
TRACKS PLAYED...Troublemaker / One of these days.
Very uptempo album but without substance and aimed more at party
people. Good for playing in the car and very easy on the ear. ***
ROBBIE WILLIAMS... TAKE THE CROWN.
TRACKS PLAYED....Candy / Different / Losers.
Interesting album of extremely varied tracks. Robbie twists his voice
to sound different on each track but the standout tracks were both penned
by Gary Barlow. The rest does sound like album fill-ins with one
DISCO track that should have been given to Olly Murs. ***.
PLAYLIST
Here comes Santa Clause...Bob B Soxx.... A CHRISTMAS GIFT
FOR YOU ***.
Beyond the sea....SWINGIN' WITH THE BIG BAND****.
Love me...Collin Raye.....ALL I CAN BE.***.

TOP TEN WORLDWIDE HIT SONGS OF MICHEAL BUBLE +CONNIE FRANCIS+SIMPLY RED.
THE MICHEAL BUBLE TOP TEN.
1....HAVEN'T MET YOU YET.
2....FEELING GOOD.
3....SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME.
4....HOME.
5....CRY ME A RIVER.
6....EVERYTHING.
7....HOLLYWOOD.
8....CRAZY LOVE.
9....ME AND MRS JONES.
10..COLD DECEMBER NIGHT.
CONNIE FRANCIS...EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS.
Tracks played....Heartaches / A tree in the meadow / Don't be cruel
Malaguena.
Eight albums on one CD package is great value from the REAL-GONE
label generally available on the internet. A really good mix of different
albums released in the sixties....MY THANKS TO YOU...being a
standout. Country and Western, Rock n roll, Spanish, Italian and an
especially good Christmas album. A little bit of echo mars a few
tracks but otherwise digitally remastered gives superior quality.****.
SIMPLY RED.AMERICAN SOUL.
Track 1, It's impossible
A new Simply Red album on the markets for Christmas seems a
reasonable idea , but once again I did not take to every track on
this album. More sluggish than soul although I always do find
Mick Huknell's voice attractive this is not one of his best. If you're
a fan you will disagree strongly. ***.
PLAYLIST.
Love of my life.....Carly Simon...INTO WHITE.*****.
Let it be me....Johnny Mathis.. LET IT BE ME.*****.
It could happen to you....Dinah Washington...THE BEST OF..****.

CONNIE FRANCIS...EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS.
Tracks played....Heartaches / A tree in the meadow / Don't be cruel
Malaguena.
Eight albums on one CD package is great value from the REAL-GONE
label generally available on the internet. A really good mix of different
albums released in the sixties....MY THANKS TO YOU...being a
standout. Country and Western, Rock n roll, Spanish, Italian and an
especially good Christmas album. A little bit of echo mars a few
tracks but otherwise digitally remastered gives superior quality.****.
SIMPLY RED.AMERICAN SOUL.
Track 1, It's impossible
A new Simply Red album on the markets for Christmas seems a
reasonable idea , but once again I did not take to every track on
this album. More sluggish than soul although I always do find
Mick Huknell's voice attractive this is not one of his best. If you're
a fan you will disagree strongly. ***.
