Best Christmas album ever this replaces a tape. Although on the CD I've just bought through Amazon Jon Bon Jovi isn't a Back Door Santa, he wishes every day was Christmas!

I bought this cd when it first came out (15+ years ago????). I play it gleefully EVERY year without fail. I now have all of the Very Special Xmas series, but this first one is by far the very best one. Every track is perfect. I cannot recommend this collection highly enough. Beats all other Christmas compilations with ease. I NEVER tire of it - brilliant stuff!

As an adult it's a change to listen to something that's slightly different from your normal kids music but as a reggae fan its's utter tosh. There are far far better tracks out there. Save your money & get your kids to listen to some proper music.I can't believe that some of the biggest names in reggae stooped so low

Having just purchased Totally James Bond: The Essential 007 Themes, I was horrified to find that every track was a crappy cover version rather than the original theme played during the track.
I immediately got this CD out of my closet and enjoyed the James Bond as it was meant to sound! I would recommend this CD above all other ones of its type, even if it does lack the tracks for Goldeneye onwards.

When I first saw the film in 1981, I rushed out to by the LP soundtrack. Over the years it has lost none of its sheer listening enjoyment. Naturally the cd is an improvement in sound quality over the LP.
This soundtrack really captures the movie's hugely enjoyable OTT ebullience. All the tracks in here can be listened to on multiple repeat plays. Cheap Trick's 'Reach Out' and 'I Must be dreamin' are both good. 'Radar Rider' is the stronger of the two Riggs tracks on the album. Stevie Nick's 'Blue Lamp' grows on you each time you play it, as does the Nazareth track 'Crazy (A suitable Case For Treatment). Chill out to Don Fagen's 'True Companion' and Don Felder's 'All Of You'.
What is the best track on here - two contenders in ... Read More:

There's no denying it, this album has everything for the discerning (and even the not-so-discerning) listener, from the classics that everyone should recognize, such as BTO's 'You ain't seen nothing yet', Thin Lizzy's 'The boys are back in town' (my personal favourite) and Steppenwolf's undeniably great 'Born to be wild', all the way up to the more modern classics, like G'n'R's 'Paradise City' and Stiltskin with 'Inside'. Even if you would never class yourself as a rock fan, this album has such an eclectic range of rock stylings, that there's bound to be something there that everyone will enjoy. You want something heavy? Try the Motorhead and Black Sabbath tracks at the end of disc one. You want something a bit lighter? Look no further than the ... Read More:

As the other reviewer said, if you liked Peter Gabriel's "Passion" you should get this. This album contains all of the source material which inspired Gabriel's own music, and PG himself produces this collection but doesn't appear on it. Nice background music, and a good companion volume to one of the greatest soundtracks of all time in my opinion.

Gosh, I remember this. It was a very timeous release in 1995, compiling a bunch of mostly indie guitar tunes right at the very height of britpop, and it is a pretty good britpop sampler. It has "Alright" by Supergrass, "Wake up Boo" by the Boo Radleys, and Edwyn Collins' "A Girl Like You", three of the most ubiquitous radio hits of the time. And "Whatever" by Oasis. Surprisingly however it does not have Pulp's "Common People" or anything by Sleeper.
There are britpop fellow travellers such as the Prodigy, Fluke and the Chemical Brothers, all of whom appeared on the soundtrack to the Playstation hit "Wipeout" and its sequel, and who were not indie guitar bands at all. There is ... Read More:

If you love late 80's and early 90's grunge then i strongly recommend you should buy this album. It has a great selection of tracks from big bands such as Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees and the most important band in the world Nirvana etc. Sub Pop brings out its raw talent on its record label and it sounds so amazing.
