Copy protection problem
avid movie watcher | florida | 11/22/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Living in the states, i had only vaguely heard of helen shapiro till a few years ago. Since i liked the few songs i had heard, i purchased the EMI CD. I agree with the other reviewers that it is an excellent buy with a great selection of her songs. However, i did not notice that the Amazon description says "copy protected". The CD case itself says "on some equipment, for example car CD players, playback problems may be encountered". They're not kidding! While the CD plays perfectly on my 12-year old Yamaha CD carousel player, it won't play at all on my new (2006) Panasonic CD/DVD player - not a note! It is the only CD i have found so far that the Panasonic won't play. Don't know about the car player - i haven't tried it. Beware!

"as a child, I remember Helen Shapiro's songs from listening to them on the car radio on the way to school. At the age I was, buying 45's was not even on my radar.

I identified with 'Don't treat me like a child'. The upbeat rhythm of 'Walking back to happiness' and for some reason, 'Tell me what he said' for I was too young to have a boyfriend stuck with me.



Along with artists like Neil Sedaka, Cliff Richard, Paul Evans, finding this album [dating myself again]and playing the songs for me and my siblings evoked conversation and warm fuzzies of happier simpler times. Granted, she was a lesser known British pop star from that era, but in our lives, she struck a chord of pleasant memories."
