Thanks DanO for the tip. I have a few of these Alternative CDs and they are great playing both for car trips and toons to be played while milling about the house. So I ordered this generous selection of good tracks from excellent bands.

While there I discovered this and ordered as well, "Rockin' With the Pirates: Big Hits, Classic Tracks and Lost Gems."

From a review: There are 3 CDs in the set with 25 tracks on each; Tim Chacksfield, whose name will be familiar to serious music fans, is the compiler and had the enviable tasks of trawling through EMIs vaults to find his favourite music from the Pirate Radio era.

The CD sounds really good, much better than the 101 collection, and the tracks have been remastered by Peter Mew at Abbey Road studios. Some are remastered especially for this collection, others over the last few years for other projects; Amazon has a detailed track listing which gives much information on remaster dates and other information.

Rockin' With The Pirates is completed by the inclusion of a small, non illustrated, booklet with information on the artists and music. This is annotated by Phil Smee, another name which will be familiar to music collectors, and is very informative - even sixties music fans may learn a few things here!

Thanks again!
Rick A.

EMI Gold is a nice budget series.
