GREAT BRITISH ROCK 'N' ROLL Vol. 4: Just About As Good As It Gets - disc 1 & 2 : TWILIGHTZONE

 


Well here's another great start to the week with this from TWILIGHTZONE! This series is fantastic fun and from Cliff to Marty Wilde, Wee Willie Harris to the more obscure 'stars' like Dickie Pride (great cover of Slippin' and a-Slidin' here) and Bill Forbes and the like but this volume is full of hits and classic tracks that will have you jiving around the living room or laughing so hard you fall over in your breakfast bar! I nearly fell off my stool but I put my pedal pushers on and played Bill Forbes' 'Once More'!
