Would have been much better with 5 or 6 more tunes!

While this is really not a bad compilation you cannot help but feel a bit cheated when you realize that there are only 51 minutes of music on this disc. Otherwise, "The British Are Coming Vol.1" … more

Okay in its day......but a much better alternative now exists.

Outstanding harmonies make this one an absolute joy to listen to!

While most of the acts from the so-called "British Invasion" enjoyed success on both sides of the "pond", to the best of my knowledge Chad and Jeremy never even appeared on the charts … more

Ringo's latest album might just grow on you.

Indeed, it is very rare these days for me to purchase an album of brand new material. I was always a Top 40 kind of guy and as such generally limit my purchases to the best available anthology of … more
