CD Reviews
Loved this to bits but
Mr. Glenn Cook | South Cave, near Hull UK | 11/20/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Love this compilation to bits BUT
AN IDEA.
Long in the mists of time the Island label saw the success of CBS 'the rock machine turns you on' samplers. So they came up with their own versions selling for under a british pound about 3 dollars USA (Brits pay more for music than you americans you see)
Has Island thought about issuing the CD versions of all those wonderful compilations of 'You can all Join In' Bumpers and El Pea?
Fools like me would buy and enjoy them and it would be a wonderful addition to the pension funds of some of those grate (sic) performers?
A little bit like Bob Monkhouse did with the Royalties for his TV show 'Mad Movies'. Lots of actors were on the breadline and he ensured that royalties were paid to the septuagenarians.
Just a thought... Please tick to say my review was of use and heck you never knows Island just might take heed watch this space!"
