2025 Charity Shop Purchases #20 -Various Artists - Word - Greatest Hits Volume 1
Around this time last year I began copying around a 100 compilation CDs which went to charity to free up some space given that there was no room on the shelves.
I've tried since then to limit the amount of compilations from magazines, etc unless I can make a pretty good case for them - what can I say I'm a weak person.
This one passed the test. When I saw the tracklist I thought that someone was raiding my collection.
From April 2007 Greatest Hits Volume 1 was issued to celebrate the 50th CD issued by The Word Magazine. The CDs come in a natty format which Discogs describe as a Discbox Slider.
I'm familiar with the vast majority of the artists and it was good in particular to hear Rilo Kiley and Neko Case again. I should really listen to them more often.
From the new to me ones Single by the Toumani Diabate's Symmetric Orchestra was none to shabby.
I'm sure that I can find a wee space for this one.
Toumani Diabate's Symmetric Orchestra - Single
oh, that was a good one. I think it was a Word magazine CD that introduced me to Rilo Kiley - one of my favourite bands. I think I'll play this one again today.
ReplyDeleteRilo Kiley are long overdue a listen here.
ReplyDeleteI Never is a great track thanks esp to Jenny Lewis' vocal. I've got plenty of her solo stuff (and with the Watson Twins). If you don't already have them I can recommend the earlier albs. Neko is also loved in this parish. I'm a weak person too in culling my collection but surprisingly I've been ruthless recently when it comes to VA compilations altho' my iTunes library is an wildly uncontrolled beast as a result of way too many burns.
