Level 42 Definitive Collection

The Bangles are an American pop rock band that formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1981. The band recorded several singles that reached the U.S. Top 10 during the 1980s, including "Manic Monday" (1986); "Walk Like an Egyptian" (1986); "A Hazy Shade of Winter" (1987); "In Your Room" (1989); and "Eternal Flame" (1989). The band's classic line-up consisted of founding members Susanna Hoffs (vocals and rhythm guitar), Debbi Peterson (drums and vocals), and Vicki Peterson (lead guitar and vocals), together with Michael Steele (bass and vocals).[3] As of June 2018, the band consisted of Hoffs, Debbi and Vicki Peterson, and bassist Annette Zilinskas.

All of their U.K. and U.S. hits are included on this compilation. Highlights are "You're No Good," "Hippy Hippy Shake," and their fine (pre-Who) cover of Johnny Kidd's "Shakin' All Over," though even for the Anglophile, about half of this CD is forgettable, especially the dreary post-1966 stuff. This anthology includes several non-LP/rare singles and unreleased songs.

The 1980s were a transformative time for electronic music. With the demise of punk and the rise of New Wave followed by the all-consuming glamour of the New Romantics, electronic music went from being thought of as barely music at all to being the only music people wanted to listen to, all within the space of a few years. This collection brings together some of the best the 80s had to offer in electronica and synth pop, from the cool left-field stylings of Propaganda, Visage and The Passions to some of the best all-out chart pop ever created in Erasure, Spandau Ballet, Wham! and ABC. Long live the Electric Eighties!

Show your Mum just how much you appreciate her with this wonderful collection of songs designed to make her dance, laugh, cry and sing along - hopefully all at once! The Sugababes and Cheryl Cole will guide her through CD1, as she practices her dance moves. CD2 is full of classics from the movies and archives of pop, while CD3 contains enough golden oldies and love songs to tug at the heart strings of even the most stoic of mothers. Including a few unashamedly Mum-related songs from the likes of Tom Jones ('She's A Lady') and The Commodores ('Three Times A Lady') our compilation ends with the irrepressible Gilbert O Sullivan and 'Me Mum', a rousing tribute to mothers everywhere.

While it can't hope to compete with the impressive box sets of her work or even more specialized single-disc collections, 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Billie Holiday still manages to present a fair amount of her most definitive work from the '40s, even though it's only 12 tracks long. "Strange Fruit," "Lover Man," "Lady Sings the Blues," and "My Man" are all here, along with "Fine and Mellow," "'Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do," and "I Loves You Porgy." Not surprisingly since its track listing is so small, this collection is somewhat unfocused and definitely incomplete, but it offers a tantalizing taste of Billie Holiday's most musically fruitful period.
