Anita Meyer


 So we have done the "Big West End Productions" and gone to "Broadway"..so now lets take it easy in a nice comfy seat in One of "London's" top Luxury Cinema's and listen to some "Theme Songs" from some Hit Films !!!....I like what she has done to "Love Story"(track three) !! Unfortunatly the track "Theme From Mahogany " is missing !!..glad to hear she has put her own spin on the songs !!!

 Anita Meyer (Annita Meijer), born in Rotterdam 29 October 1954, is a Dutch singer. One of her most notable songs is "Why Tell Me Why"[ that charted for 14 weeks and topped the Dutch singles list for six weeks in 1981.



    3. Love Story

The King's Singers

If you like your "Beatle's" songs sung different then have a listen to this !!...I guess not everybody's cup of tea !!!.. but its worth listening to just to hear how adaptive "Lennon & McCartney's" songs can be !!!...and don't be fooled by "Back in the U.S.S.R" I was for a start !!....You will have to download it to get what I am on about !!!....this is a great L/P A1 +++
Last one from the Record store !!...Thanks once again John !!



    3. Ob-la-Di Ob-La- Da

Brasil 77

Another taste of the latin sounds of Brasil....it seems that "Brasil 66 " is now "Brasil 77" and with an extra member of the group !!...I guess that this was the 70's !!

This Mantovani L/P has the addition of two Piano's " Rawicz & Landauer"

Rawicz and Landauer were an immensely popular piano duo team that performed from 1932 to 1970. They were initially based in Vienna, Austria, but moved to the United Kingdom in the early part of their career. They were known for their arrangements of popular classics.
Marjan (or Maryan) Rawicz (1898 – 30 January 1970) was Polish. He studied in Poland, and in Vienna under Richard Robert, and also studied law at the University of Kraków, playing the piano at seaside resorts in his holidays to make ends meet.
Walter Landauer (4 September 1910 – 4 August 1983) was born in Vienna. He studied at the Vienna Music Academy and under Emil von Sauer.

A Special Motown Disco Album..VA..320..Kbps

Even Motown had to get onto the Disco Band Wagon Soooooooo from 1976 that thumping beat gives us some classic tracks !!....recorded as Side One & Side Two...no gaps in between tracks !!





Les Paul


Les Paul without Mary Ford is like having "Sausage and Mash" without the Sausage !! or a Full English Breakfast without "Eggs & Bacon !!.....Sounds are good especially as it is in "Phase 4 Stereo"...but the great "Twangy Sound" that was their trade mark is not there !! and of course no vocals !!.....BUT there's a great version of "Lover" just shows he's still a great Guitar player !!
