tony1 118 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hmmm DaveN... one would have thought that just a slight mention of a little known ensemble called the Beatles, might have been made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Original artists Dave?..not a bad price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 #2 I expect it depends on whether the company has access to the rights for a particular artist.You can see the listings at the pages below http://store.hmv.com/music/cd/the-fifties-album?_ga=1.170864288.1422008468.1449005834 http://store.hmv.com/music/cd/the-sixties-album-the-album-of-the-decade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tony1 118 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 That's pretty impressive at that price.. and no obscure 'never heard of' numbers. Thanks for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 #1 Dave when I started to read this thread I thought that you had been to Fopp today because I have seen the same CD's on sale there for £5:00 with the ones you mentioned plus a lot more . I picked up a Small Faces - From The Beginning CD although that one was £8:00 with 35 tracks on but the majority were only a fiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I still think DaveN got a bargain. On 'The Fifties Album' some that I like are: Disc 1. The Great Pretender - The Platters I Believe - Frankie Laine Just Walking In The Rain - Johnnie Ray Disc 2. Most Of Them. Disc 3. Poison Ivy - The Coasters Gamblin' Man - Lonnie Donegan I also like most of them on 'The Sixties Album'. Some good music there, DaveN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Michael is right..disc 2 is the best...because I am an avid music collector, I sometimes end up paying £10 just for one song Left Banks version of 'Don't Walk Away Renee',being a case in point.

BeestonMick 263 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 The Yardbirds, where would music be today without them? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Saw The Graham Bond Organisation many times at the Dungeon. Very talented group, but Graham was such a sad character. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 There's also one from the 70s http://store.hmv.com/music/cd/the-seventies-album?_ga=1.205376400.1422008468.1449005834 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I like compilations. . One of the best was 'You can all join in ' very progressive for its day. Then there was Axe Attack 1&2, The Rock Machine Turns You On, The Sue Story... Great blues on that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,071 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Why doe's no one seem to mention Acker Built Stanger on the shore Kenny Ball jazz band I know it's jazz but was it not part of the 50s/60s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hmmm DaveN... one would have thought that just a slight mention of a little known ensemble called the Beatles, might have been made. I think it maight be a question of royalties or rights tony, as far as I recall I have never seen any original Beatles tracks on any compilation albums Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Quite corrrect, mary1947. I loved being in a club/pub listening to a live jazz band. Great atmosphere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 If you're a Beatles' fan this set might be of interest to you. http://store.hmv.com/music/cd/1-(3)?_ga=1.196498863.2076014600.1449334735 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
