Top Gear

...and that he considers James Blunt to be the anti-Christ.*

All we know is, this is yet another quite solid grab bag of tunes - blessed and sanctified by the presence of the Stig, but you're not sure whether he can actually hear in these frequencies. There are quite a few recent tunes you'll know from heavy airplay and (over)use in ads ("Monster", "That's Not My Name", "Have A Nice Day") a few retro classics thrown in for the ironed-jeans brigade ("Raspberry Beret", "Logical") and a few odd curveballs to try and look hip and down with the kids ("Propane Nightmares").

If you twisted this jumble of music through a dimensional wringer and made it solid and, let's say, a car, it'd look like a Gumpert - a car that looks ... Read More:

Dreamboats and Petticoats

by: Various Artists

Release Date November 05, 2007
This is a really great selection of songs and even though most appear all too frequently on numerous compilations celebrating this period, the album would still normally rate five stars. However, I am surprised that none of the previous reviewers point out that not all the recordings are the originals as stated but inferior re-recordings that lack the nostalgia of the originals, e.g. Only Sixteeen by Craig Douglas, Wonderful Land by the Shadows and Pat Boone's Love Letters In The Sand. This really lets it down and there really can be no excuse for this from a label of the pedigree.

Motown 50

by: Various Artists

Release Date December 01, 2008
I'm appalled by thias as a Motown purist. I don't know why they spent all that time having us vote for tracks when they've wasted almost a whole disc on cover versions - something Motown did very badly as a rule. I also hate the inclusion of most things after 1970. It's just not Classic Motown. Thelma's "Jumping Jack Flash" wasn't ever recorded at Motown, it's from her ABC album Sunshower. Quite the most disappointing release ever, when it should have been a treasure.
Seek out another compilation, this is not the celebration of Motown that it should have been.
