1.The Best Of Rolf Harris by: Rolf Harris

While I can't confirm the copy protection issue reported elsewhere, I CAN say this is a pretty good summary of his work.

It's not just a good collection of his comedy songs such as Tie Me Kangaroo, Jake the Peg and Maximillian Mouse, but also shows off some of his Australian "folk" songs such as Wild Rover and Waltzing Matilda as well as some others of his eclectic styles from the gentle Fijian Girl through to his recent bizarre Led Zep cover of Stairway to Heaven.

But how can a "Best Of" NOT feature his UK number 1 "Two Little Boys???" There are plenty of other best of compilations, so you may want to try Disky's compilation "Best of Rolf Harris".

This is a great compilation but what really lets it down for me is the sound quality on the sideboard song which sounds very harsh, all the other tracks sound great. The other reason I didnt give 5 stars is because two great tracks have been left off, Thats What I Like and Strummin, Gutted.

Not as some have said, the original version of 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson End' but by far and away the most concise. It's all you really wanted to know about Henry Rawlinson in an easy to swallow, beautifully performed hour.

And I've enjoyed this hour for what must amount to weeks in repeated plays. Even now, a word or phrase can suddenly shine out as a meaning or reference becomes clear. The narrative and songs are examples of Vivian at his very best and it comes as no surprise that this album continues to enthrall listeners decades after it's first release.

It's actually a condensed version or fragment of a much bigger series of recorded works which were performed in an equally erudite and mellifluous fashion for radio. ... Read More:

The description says "Various Artists" which I guess is true, but they are not Original Artists and most of the tracks sound like they are buy the same singer. If you can imagine the vampire in Sesame Street singing monster mash you wont be too far from what you are getting on this CD - I'm sure kids will love it not having heard the originals and the sound effects track is worth the purchase price on its own, just put that track on a loop and have the spooky screaming and noises playing in the background as your guests arrive

A good question, that.... there is nothing here that hasn't been issued before, either on "The World of the Goons" (which had all the Decca titles together with tracks by Ray Ellington and Max Geldray) and various Peter Sellers and/or Spike Mlligan compilations. Yet this is the FIRST time ALL the Goon singles have been gathered on one disc and as such is a must for the car or for relaxing to (or both, buy two!)
I have the original 10" LP of Unchained Melodies, and "The World Of The Goons", and the Peter Sellers Collection (where the EMI tracks came out in 1990!) and I still bought this with my own money!
If you are new to the Goons, this is a must buy.
If you aren't new to Spike & Co. it's still worth considering as a unique compilation.

I'd only ever heard a couple of the Nimoy offerings before and LSD by the Shatt, and so I thought I knew what I was letting myself in for, but I didn't really. The breadth of material covered by both was a complete surprise, the depth of the hole both men seemed to be digging for themselves with such vigour was none short of astonishing. It was akin I'd say to watching an unlicenced driver getting into a fast car and pointing it straight at a brick wall, without a seatbelt on. Brave though, as you'd expect of two starship troopers.

I'm going to have review Nimoy's first, as I think I need to be sedated by several scotches at least, before I try and describe Shatner's efforts. The songs Nimoy 'sings' here were I guess, picked for him by someone who ... Read More:

This is the debut album from the pop cultural phenomenon with, amongst other things, its own star on the Hollywood walk of fame, THE SIMPSONS.
This album features 5 original Simpson's songs & 5 covers of classic blues songs, all sung in the inimitable Simpson's style.

1.DO THE BARTMAN - 5:11.
A number one hit co written by Michael Jackson!
2.SCHOOL DAY - 3:57.
A rockin' cover of Chuck Berry's song, featuring Bart Simpson and Buster Poindexter {David Johansen.}
3.BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN - 3:08.
Dan Castellaneta doing Homer Simpson doing Albert King!
4.MOANIN' LISA BLUES - 4:49.
My favourite line in this BLACK VELVET {Alannah Myles} sounding song is "I'm down so low, if I cheered up I'd still be depressed!"

Bought after hearing the track Common People on You Tube and to be quite honest expecting a dire experience- how wrong could we be.
Refreshing, amusing well arranged and written - a triumph for Shatner and co - very very well done. I wish it every success.
