This collection of country classics is toe tappin' stuff - even for those, like myself, who think that country music should be left, well, in the country. Their voices don't always blend that well, but that just gives things a nice rough edge that adds a rollicking joyousness to the proceedings. The L.P.record did not have a general release instead, Simply Vinyl were able to secure the rights. Over 4 hours of rare and alternative material are presented on 8 X 180 gram L.P.s in a purple, velvet covered box. The set includes a booklet and record sleeves with many rare or previously unseen photographs.
Sound quality is generally superb.
P.J. Harvey's new album shows a further progression towards the mainstream heralded by her last album and this is simply a great album with the odd touch of Chrissie Hynde, Nico and Pattie Smith. A two l.p. set of funky jazz grooves is available from French ensemble St. Germain and will be a godsend for the cappucino set who would actually like to hear something decent while they sip their caffeine. The sound quality is supurb. Also in stock are the new albums by Eminem Placebo and Green Day, Offspring Fat Boy Slim , Rage Against the Machine and others.
