 | Not a single bad track! It tends to be that you either like Prefab Sprout or hate them. While I can understand people who might find Paddy McAloon's songs a little bit too clever, sentimental and a bit fey, I think tha... read full review |
 | Great cross-section of 60's/70's soul/pop I really love this 2CD set and it has something for everyone. The pop/soul hits from the 70's ('Have you seen Her', 'Homely Girl', 'You don't have to Go', ... read full review |

 | More good lightweight pop - a grower I reviewed Emma's 'Free Me' and this is more of the same. I think that this CD is half-a-star short of 'Free Me'. I started off thinking that it was really not so good but, ... read full review |
 | Classic 70's Vocal Soul Group: not a single weak track I'm a huge lover of 70's vocal Soul groups like the Chi-Lites, Manhattans, Moments etc. and this debut album from Blue Magic is up there with them. Every track is excellent and many are bon... read full review |
 | The Jamaican Motown - Absolutely Wonderful If you like reggae at all then you must get this album. In case you don't know, Studio One was a record label set up by Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd in Jamaica and was responsible for releas... read full review |
