Readers Digest - Popular Music That Will Live Forever

Yes - more Readers' Digest magic - for all the half-a-dozen people around the globe that like 'em...

I have a fascination for these boxed sets that defeats any considered analysis. In particular the Light Classics that people used to buy to impress their friends ("Why Abner, you're so edjamicated") and then never listen to...

Here's another 10 disc set by people you've probably never heard of. The discs were in prime condition, so the audio quality is good, and the variety sums up the Readers Digest ethic - no rough edges, nothing to offend - nothing, in fact, that would dare to interrupt you if you happen to nod off while listening in your favourite easy chair.

Ricardo Santos - Holiday in France

This is a fabulous album by Ricardo Santos AKA Werner Muller. I bought this a coupla years ago but it was in such poor condition it was unable to be restored. It's a truly F.A.B. album so imagine my delight when I found a high quality rip at Subway Detour. Git on over there and grab yerself a copy...
