Without You - a Billy Fury Tribute

Search: Wondrous Place
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 26, 2003
Having bought this cd, I can echo what Harry Whitehouse and Mags Cummings have said, a truly good buy, and the Bonus Track is magical it brought a tear to my eye, a must for all Billy Fury fans or for folks who like easy listening.

BBC Jazz Awards 2005

Search: Wondrous Place
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 27, 2005
I am all for a selection of Jazz, having on recently been converted to the genre. However, this is probably too mixed, and some of the numbers push the boundaries of what I would class as Jazz.

Rock'n'Roll Love Songs

Search: Wondrous Place
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 26, 2004
Almost all of the tracks on this set are not original recordings, so if this matters to you then steer well clear. Although re-recordings such as that by Billy Fury are well done, others like the Shirelles, have instrumental backing added which detract from the pristine bite of the originals. Some of the other standard items such as Fats Domino are recorded at live venues, so this is another consideration. Its a well recorded collection if you just want these titles, but if you want the originals then look elsewhere. For the flavour of original rock and roll try the American Graffiti sound track double album or the Best of Doo Wop collection.

The Best Easy Album in the World Ever

Search: Wondrous Place
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 05, 2000
You can't fail to find something on here to lift the spirits, to get you singing along. There are some of the best versions of classics you know and love and those you knew but didn't love. If I Had A Hammer, for example. Never liked it before, didn't get it, but listening to it on here breathed new life into it, passion and excitement that I never knew it had (I'm not joking by the way !).

Guaranteed to provide some form of escapism, stress relief assured. Give it a go.

Classics And Collectables

Search: Wondrous Place
by: Billy Fury

Release Date November 17, 2008
I received this today 17th of November 2008 as I had pre-ordered it. I am a great Billy Fury fan and have nearly all of his music anyway. However this CD has no less than 62 tracks on and some of them I haven't heard before, or indeed if I have - then it was so long ago that I had forgotten them. lol Some of these are rare and previously unreleased material. This is a must for all fans of Billy Fury and even for those who aren't but just love the days of the 'golden oldies!'
I highly recommend this CD and it will take pride of place in my Billy Fury collection. We lost a great singer far too early. RIP Billy and may your music live on forever. xxx
