VERY BEST OF GOLDEN MEMORIES. 27 EXPLOSIVE OLDIES : Got this one on a one time only promotion offer. Like the title suggested there are 27 tracks in all. Crowd pleasers like 'Beautiful Sunday', 'Rose Garden', 'Limbo Rock', 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head', etc. Favourites that I don't have anywhere are 'Singing The Blues', Just Walking In The Rain' and 'Ballad of Bonnie & Clyde'. There's also 'He's So Fine', the song that got George Harrison in trouble with the court due to it's similarity to his 'My Sweet Lord. Personally I think it's all hogwash, anyone who can write songs like 'Taxman' and 'Something' don't need to copied from nobody. The judge think so too but he have to be seen doing his job, so he charged George for 'subconsciously' coping the song. I think I got this for RM 19.90. Whichever way you look at it, it's a real bargain for money. DOP : 19th September 1992.
MAGIC MOMENTS TO REMEMBER : If the above CD is a bargain, then this one is literally robbery. A 3 CD set for only a miserable RM 9.90. Disc 1 contains 17 songs. 10 of which I've already have. Favourites includes 'Music To Watch Girls By', ‘Chapel Of Love', 'Welcome To My World' and 'I've Got A Crush On You'.
Disc 2 contains 16 tracks of which 11 I've already have. Rarities includes 'Yakkety Yak', 'Afternoon Delight', and ' Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In'. There's also 'Summer In The City'.
Disc 3 contains 16 tracks of which 9 I've already have. Favourites includes 'Fly Me To The Moon' , a great fun song to sing to your girl, Jamaica Farewell' and 'Save The Last Dance For Me'.
I may have most of the songs here but this kind of CDs at this kind of price is a God send when you are driving out station. Just put it on the player and drive away. Plenty of pleasure to be had without the interruptions of talkative DJs. Oops, did I mentioned that this CD comes with a songbook as well. DOP : 15th April 2012.
66 UNFORGETTABLE OLDIES FROM 70'S. FAVOURITE HITS OF THE 70'S : 3 CD for the price of one. Now this is real value for money. That's shy I bought it even thought I've had most of the songs. Make for easy and convenience listening. Disc 1 got the most songs that I don't have in my collections. 'Seasons In The Sun', 'Sundown', 'Honey', 'We're All Alone' and 'I'm Easy'. Not to mention 'You've Light Up My Life' and 'Torn Between Two Lovers'. Elsewhere there's 'Nobody's Child', 'Without You' and even Let It Be'. Disc 2 have only 'Mississippi' and 'Paloma Blanca' that I don't have. The rest of the gems are 'Anak', Love Will Keep Us Together', 'Paper Roses' and 'I've Never Been To Me'. Disc 3 have 'I'll Never Love This Way Again', ' Through The Eyes Of Love', 'My Broken Souvenirs' and the original version of 'Angel Of The Morning' by Merrilee Rush. And then there's Ray Stevens' 'Everything Is Beautiful'. One thing that I find baffling me was why the word Jesus was not allowed to be aired on live radio. The beginning of 'Everything Is Beautiful' starts out with children singing 'Jesus Loves The Little Children...' but somehow the power that be choose to censored this part when this song was on air over the radio. The same goes for George Michael 's 'Jesus To A Child' which was renamed as '....To A Child'. Some people can be so sensitive. DOP : 6th April 2012.

P.S. I LOVE YOU : 50 UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES : Another super cheap 3 in 1 CD for your driving comfort. Most of the songs I've already have. Only reason I bought this was for the convience of it. CD 1 does contain 'Sukiyaki' by A Taste Of Honey', a song which I've loved and which have escape my clutches all these while. Other tracks that I don't have are Christopher Cross's 'Sailing', Eddie Rabbit & Crystal Gayle's 'You & I' and Ambrosia's 'Biggest Part Of Me'. 'Just When I Needed You Most' by Randy Van warmer is also here but strangely it was a new version of the song. I am all the more glad for it 'cos I have so many copy of this song on various CD that I am getting quite tired of this song so it's refreshing to hear a new version. CD 2 have Seals & Croft's 'Summer Breeze' which is a beautiful song that I've loved ever since I've first heard it, and Little River Band's 'Reminiscing'. CD 3 bring us Paul Anka's 'Times Of Your Life', the never-found-in-any-Eddie Rabbit's-collection's 'The Room At The Top Of The Stair' and Janis Ian's 'The Other Side Of The Sun'. DOP : 15th August 2012
DANCE HITS OF THE 70'S. 20 TIMELESS CLASSICS : The title say it all. Songs for the dance floor. Still between these tracks there are some seriously nice songs for keeps here. My favourites, the instrumental that I've heard many moons ago 'Popcorn', 'Shake Your Groove Thing', 'Ring My Bell' and The Stories' Brother Louie'. There's also Desmond Dekker positive sounding 'You Can Get It If You Really Want It' as well as 'Kung Fu Fighting'. DOP : Unknown
ALWAYS & FOREVER : This CD was bought at a discount and it was locally put together or rather in Asia only. Most of the songs I've already have. Still, a nice CD to slot in your player when you are on a trip. All in all 15 songs to ensure your trip is a pleasant one. 'Angel Queen ' by Neil Sedaka and his daughter Dara Sedaka, 'Reality' by Richard Sanderson, 'Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue' and 'It Might Be You'. What I appreciate here are 'Dust In The Wind' by Kansas, 'At Seventeen' by Janis Ian, 'Bette Davies Eyes, 'Never Ending Story ' and 'Emotion', which I don't have in my other collections. DOP : 1st January 2012.
ROCK SAME GUA!!! : This is a locally complied CD meaning that you won't find this anywhere but here. But it is equally good. Picks of the crop are Mead Loaf's 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad', Firehouse's 'I Live My Life For You', Bad Company's 'Ready For Love', Europe's 'Carrie' and Rainbow's 'Temple Of The King'. This is on discount by the way. Just to keep your saliva dripping there's Heart's 'All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You' and Bad English's 'When I See You Smile' DOP : 11th December 2011.-
