Once again "Bob" comes comes along and supplies us with a selection of tunes for the "Easy Listeners"....as usual titles are in German but I don't think that takes anything away from the enjoyment and I'm sure that they will be some tunes that are recognisable....Did I mention that "Bob" comes from Belgium.!!!!
I think maybe this might be the first L/P of "Engelbert's"circa 1969....just a couple of songs that people may have heard of the rest of the songs I presume would be the stock songs to fill out a "Debut " L/P !!!...Unless someone out there knows any different !!..........He comes from my home town "Leicester"

Here is the second volume of "Irving Berlin".... Ella was at her
peak when all the "Song Books" were recorded this one is from
1958....In the later years of her life when she became ill her voice
did suffer and at her later concerts she would always apologise that she
couldn't do the "sweet" notes as she used to call them...even so the
"magic" was still there !! and she was a great performer whatever she
sounded like and did !!!

No moans about the title of this compilation !! because it's is exactly what it says 40 early "Cliff's" great tracks more than likely his top hits A sides and B sides....and NOT his GREATEST hits....as the record company's sometimes states on other compilation L/P's..

Once again the record company has produced a compilation of "Tom's" Greatest Hits ??(Dubious)....True they have included most of them but amongst the tracks are some cover versions of popular songs that were hits for other people and some that might be "B"sides to his Hits so I suppose they could be classed as hits because they were "The Other Side" !!.....why oh why do record companies do that !!...I'm sure that Tom could have filled this double L/P with all of his hits !!....He's had plenty to choose from during his recording time !!

As with all "Live & Concert L/P's" to get 100% enjoyment out of it you would have to been there and a part of the audience "
clapping" and "shouting" and "cheering" as this "Royal Albert Hall" concert on 11th &12th of January 1982 is just doing that !!....Like the "Cliff Richard" concert that was posted earlier this seems to be a great couple of nights out!!...It is "Barry" at his peak voice wise singing most of his well known hits and doing a great job....he even pokes fun at himself with a self comment about his "nose"....So all of us that was not there will have to do with just the sound and not the vision....Somebody should invent a stylus that could read visuals as well as music!!....and a whole new concept would be born !!!!
All the tracks on this L/P were written by "Neil" and it proves that he can write some good songs with great lyrics that you can understand which is great for these days !!...It was recorded in England... Manchester to be exact and mastered at the Apple Studios in London in 1972....There are some great songs on this one including one of the best and that one has been recorded by most of the good singers of the 70's 80's 90's ect !!....It is the title of the L/P of course !!!
1. Thats When The Music Takes Me
2. Beautiful You
3. Express Yourself
4. Anywhere Your Gonna Be

I have never heard of "Trio Cassiman" before now but by courtesy once again of "Bob" its something good and worth listening to not too "Folksy" or "Spiritual" but spot on for good ears !!
Here's one set firmly in the 40's....not to sure wether they are the original recordings...there seems to be a lot of strings for a swing band !!....could be re-recordings at a later date ??...YEP seems it is according to the back sleeve !!...this one came from "Bob"
Now for some nifty Trumpet Playing supplied by "Belgium Bob"...Great for all you "Instrumental Aficionado's"....It Seems like we have a stowaway on Side One Track 2 !!
"My Liberte...George Moustaki" !!!.........Otherwise a very pleasant 24 Tracker !!....Nice for background when you are having a Dinner Party !!!
This must have been a great concert at Wembley it says 1990 on the record and sleeve so that makes it 25 years old which is about right looking at Cliff's hairstyle !!....Cliff's name on the cover is in Silver so that colour doesn't do to well when you scan !!...the songs are all his hits past and present and judging by the applause it was a great show....I wonder if there is anybody out there looking in that was there....Be great to hear about it if there was !!
There is a slight jump on side three towards the end which was my fault...My turntable and pick-up arm are very sensitive the slightest movement and it jumps I moved and away it went !!...if it was a single track I would have recorded it again..but as it was recorded side by side so as it was nearly finished I didn't...It does not deter from a great sounding and excellent Concert from "Cliff"!!!!
If you lot in "France" can now get off the "Chaise Longue's" that you might have been on listening to the last L/P perhaps you can tell us a little about this singer "Gerard Lenoman"....I've not heard of him and I'm sure that a lot of other's out there havn't as well..Soooooooo over to "France" !!!!!....
This one is from "Bob" as well....Music wise it's okay and if you like "Charles Aznavour" then you will like this one !!
Some Organ and Piano music now....
for relaxing on the settee/sofa/chaise longue if you are in France...and even by a Log fire if you are in the colder climate !!...Its a good one for doing absolutely nothing but chillin'!!!

We are now back with some of "Bob's" contributions from "Belgium" of course...
the reason that we have not had any from him for a while is that I have had a new computer and I thought that I had lost his files in the "Change Over" Saga !!....looked everywhere for them but with no luck !!..then suddenly out of the "Cosmic Blue" BINGO !!!!..
as if by Magic they suddenly appeared !!!..........Arn't computers temperamental !!!.......Soooooooo we will be having a good mix of different music........And Des gets us off to a good start with some favourites that I Guess everyone will know !!....and despite all the flack that he gets about his singing I like his voice !!
