1989 - The Rolling Stones Singles Collection The London Years
1989 - The Rolling Stones Singles Collection
The London Years @320
The London Years @320
The three-disc box set Singles Collection: The London Years contains every single the Rolling Stones released during the '60s, including both the A- and B-sides. It is the first Stones compilation that tries to be comprehensive and logical -- for all their attributes, the two Hot Rocks sets and the two Big Hits collections didn't present the singles in chronological order. In essence, the previous compilations were excellent samplers, where Singles Collection tells most of the story (certain albums, like Aftermath, Beggars Banquet, and Let It Bleed, fill in the gaps left by the singles). The Rolling Stones made genuine albums -- even their early R&B/blues albums were impeccably paced -- but their singles had a power all their own, which is quite clearly illustrated by the Singles Collection. By presenting the singles in chronological order, the set takes on a relentless, exhilarating pace with each hit and neglected B-side piling on top of each other, adding a new dimension to the group; it has a power it wouldn't have had if it tried to sample from the albums. Although it cheats near the end, adding singles from the Metamorphosis outtakes collection and two singles from Sticky Fingers, this captures the essence of the '60s Stones as well as any compilation could. Casual fans might want to stick with the Hot Rocks sets, since they just have the hits, but for those that want a little bit more, the Singles Collection is absolutely essential. (AllMusic)
Dame Shirley Bassey – The Singer (Classic And Undiscovered Gems From The EMI/UA Years 1962-79) (2025) 320
* Well I got this for sentiment reasons, last year when it came out, my late mother was a big fan of Shirley, I got my love of music from my mother and my love of football from my Dad, both sadly passed a long time ago. *
* Yeah I share a lot of music I love here on Vibes, but I also share music, that is not really me. I have always shared music, firstly via tapes (cassettes) and then later via CDr's and then digital music. So I have collected stuff that I think others might want to pass on. That just the person I am. But it gives pleasure to others. *
* I have never ever got albums because of reading an album reviews, music is very personal, we don't all have the same tastes thanks to god. I use my ears and if I like then it stays, if not then it goes. But you have to listen to it first, use your own judgement, don't follow trend. As a punk, I liked many bands, my punk mates didn't, but I listened and made up my own mind on music. *

1975 - Millie Jackson - Still Caught Up
1975 - Millie Jackson - Still Caught Up (Flac)
Following on from 1974’s concept album of backbiting, recriminations, infidelity and jealousy, “Caught Up“, which had Jackson singing first in the role of mistress on side one, then as the wronged wife on side two, here she reverses the situation, the wife begins the album, the mistress ends it. It is easily the equal of the first album, if not its superior, crammed full of soul and passion and a fantastic sound quality. Jackson’s voice throughout is simply superb.
“Loving Arms” is a superb, mega-soulful, kick posterior, emotional opener. It is one of those tracks that, for some reason, is doctored to make it sound like it is a live track, which it was not. “Making The Best Of A Bad Situation” is another excellent soul ballad, with the wife getting on with it, despite her no-good husband still having his affair. “The Memory Of A Wife“, is a thumping, punchy attempt by the wife to tell the mistress of her good points and what a great wife she has been to her feckless husband. The wife’s last stand is on “Tell Her It’s Over“, telling her husband to tell his mistress he is coming back to his family. (FunkMySoul)

Scritti Politti - Early (2005) 320
* Compilation CD of Scritti Politti's 4 'Early' singles: *
Skank Bloc Bologna [tracks 1-3] 1978
2nd Peel Session [tracks 4-7] 1979
4 'A Sides' [tracks 8-11] 1980
The "Sweetest Girl" [tracks 12+13] 1981
*Scritti Politti are a British band formed in 1977 in Leeds by singer-songwriter Green Gartside, who is the sole remaining member of the original band. *
* Initially formed as a punk-aligned underground act influenced by leftist politics, they transitioned into a commercial pop music project in the early 1980s, achieving success on the record charts in the UK. *
* The name Scritti Politti was chosen as a homage to the Italian Marxist writer and political theorist Antonio Gramsci. The correct spelling in Italian to refer to "Political Writings" would have produced Scritti Politici. Gartside changed it to Scritti Politti as he thought it sounded more rock and roll, like the Little Richard song "Tutti Frutti". *

Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks 2000 - Beatin' the Heat
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks 2000 - Beatin' the Heat (Flac)
Most students of rock history will know Hicks for two reasons. One: he was drummer with the original West Coast psychedelic band, the Charlatans (no, not the dull Manchester miseries) and two: he wrote Thomas Dolby's hit ''I Scare Myself'' (of which there is a splendid new version on this album). What they may not tell you is that Hicks and his band have been responsible for some of the coolest, jazziest, swingingest,most unclassifiable music of all time.
Hicks' songs are always bursting with good humour and an irrepressible sense of fun. You'd expect nothing less from the man who once penned ''How Can I Miss You (If You Won't Go Away)?''. Sure enough, Beatin' The Heat boasts a wealth of amusing little toe-tappers such as ''Hell, Id Go!'' (a plea to be abducted by aliens), ''He Don't Care'' (an ode to a stoner with ''a different coloured headband for every day of the week'') and the closer, ''I've Got A Capo On My Brain''.
That's not to say that Hicks is a slouch in the music department either. Aided by celebrity pals such as Rickie Lee Jones (''I Scare Myself''), Tom Waits(whose composition "The Piano Has Been Drinking" is also included), Elvis Costello, Brian Setzer (on fine six-string form) and even Bette Midler (wonderfully restrained, for a change, on ''Strike It While It's Hot!''); this is good-time music made better by a band who swing every which way. Hicks' trademark backing vocal arrangements (courtesy Of Jessica Harper and Karla De Vito) add to the frolics and the production even contains a couple of samples and loops for a mild updating of the formula. In other words it was worth the wait. Welcome back Dan... (BBC)
(A Thankyou is always appreciated)
