Although The Beatles stole much of the Merseybeat limelight, The Big Three also gained quite a following amongst Cavern Club devotees with their blend of exciting and raw Rock and Roll. A career blighted by in-fighting, line up changes and clashes with their manager… some guy named Brian Epstein. This fab Retro Sixties compilation boasts their entire Decca catalogue plus 1973 reunion recordings. 'Cavern Stomp' is the complete collection of songs not just by some guys… but 'The Big Three'. A great gift idea for anyone into Retro, Sixties and Merseybeat culture.

Rage Before Beauty is by far the best of the latter-day Pretty Things albums. If you're already a fan, you'll hear all the things you love about the band. But fans and newcomers to the Pretties will be pleasantly surprised how much power these guys still display…

The Smashing Pumpkins return with a new double album. The LP features 20 tracks, including the title track Cyr and The Colour of Love, and was recorded in the band’s native Chicago with Billy Corgan serving as producer.

"Biggest Mistake" is a song by The Rolling Stones from their 2005 album A Bigger Bang. It was released on 21 August 2006 as the third single from the album, and reached number 51 in the UK…

Conventional wisdom has it that all the B-52's' subsequent releases are highly inferior to their debut. While Wild Planet is not the rarefied wonder their first platter is, it's still darn good. The songs here are generally faster, tighter, and punchier than previously, though production values are not as wonderfully quirky and detailed; fewer songs here are as over-the-top crazy as the first album's "Rock Lobster" or "52 Girls." These formless selections continue to exhibit a cunning mix of girl group, garage band, surf, and television theme song influences, all propelled along by an itchy dance beat. "Give Me Back My Man" allows Cindy Wilson a unique opportunity to croon a broad, expressive melodic line. Fred Schneider parades his inimitably nervous vocals on chucklesome ditties like "Quiche Lorraine" and "Strobe Light." The best songs here are "Private Idaho," a wonderfully jittery number that employs a variant on the famous melodic snippet from the Twilight Zone theme music, and "Devil in My Car," a delightfully loopy hoot that lays the craziness on very thickly. Performances and sound quality are fine. This album is well worth hearing and recommended.
