100 Hits MUM CD review
When you think of Compilation CDs, The massively successfull Now thats what I call music series would spring to mind. My first album was Now 4 (it had Ghostbusters on it).
I would like to think my musical taste has evolved since then, So have the Compilation sets.
100 Hits released their first set in 2007 and have shifted over 2 million copies. 100 hits MUM was released this month and it is a surprisingly brilliant mix of 80s, 90s and current Feel good tracks.
You get a bit of Simply Red, Otis and Aretha and the Corrs (real Mummy pleasing tracks) but what sets this apart are some of the covers….
Jamie Cullum doing Radioheads High and Dry, World Party working their magic on Robbie’s She’s The One (they wrote it!) and the mighty Lemonheads covering Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful are great tracks that need to be heard.
I also appreciated the last song, I think deliberately placed so as not to leave Dad out completely. Nizlopi’s JCB song is a perfect homage to Dads everywhere, the sentiment within is striking.
Depending on retailer, the set goes for around £8, yes 8p per song.
Sorry Mum, I loved this 5cd set so much that I am keeping my promo copy!
