Virgin are about to release a range of back-catalogue CDs at "mid-price". As a way of promoting these they have released a set of ten 3" CD samplers which feature 4 tracks from the cheap CDs. The 3"s are said to be limited edition. At a princely sum of 99p each you just can't go wrong. Try Our Price record stores. I don't believe HMV are stocking them (at the moment). Here's a list of the tracks: 1 PUBLIC IMAGE LTD - ANGRY HEAVEN 17 - LOW SOCIETY UB40 - HIP HOP LYRICAL ROBOT SCRITTI POLITTI - ABSOLUTE (VERSION) 2 HEAVEN 17 - DON'T STOP FOR NO-ONE PETE WYLIE - SINFUL LEAGUE UNLIMITED ORCHESTRA - DO OR DIE EURYTHMICS - SEXCRIME (1984) 3 DAVID SYLVIAN - NOSTALGIA PETER GABRIEL - FLOATING DOGS GENESIS - RIPPLES SIMPLE MINDS - THIS EARTH THAT YOU WALK UPON 4 GARY MOORE - THUNDER RISING MIKE RUTHERFORD - MOONSHINE T'PAU - ROAD TO OUR DREAM IT BITES - CALLING ALL THE HEROES 5 FEARGAL SHARKEY - COLD COLD STREETS IT'S IMMATERIAL - ED'S FUNKY DINER DANNY WILSON - STEAM TRAINS TO THE MILKY WAY MADNESS - (WAITING FOR) THE GHOST TRAIN 6 MAXI PRIEST - STAND UP AND FIGHT THE TAMS - MY BABY SURE CAN SHAG (special explanation on the sleeve !!) WORKING WEEK - SURRENDER LOOSE ENDS - OOH YOU MAKE ME FEEL 7 CHINA CRISIS - KING IN A CATHOLIC STYLE DONNY OSMOND - IF IT'S LOVE THAT YOU WANT THE CROSS - LOVE ON A TIGHTROPE (LIKE AN ANIMAL) PHIL COLLINS - I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S TRUE 8 IGGY POP - CHINA GIRL JULIAN LENNON - ON THE PHONE MIKE OLDFIELD - FAMILY MAN PETER GABRIEL - SOLSBURY HILL 9 HUGH CORNWELL - CLUBLAND IGGY POP - THE PASSENGER SIMPLE MINDS - CHANGELING XTC - SGT. ROCK (IS GOING TO HELP ME) 10 JAPAN - SWING CAN - BABYLONIAN PEARL ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK - SOUVENIR GENESIS - I KNOW WHAT I LIKE (IN YOUR WARDROBE)

Apparantly they will be 'mid-pricing' not just CDs but cassettes & LPs
also... Chances are that the samplers will be available on 12" &
cassingle!

| 648.4 | Probably.. and those are 50p ! | WOTVAX::MOOREP | I hate having to balance my cheque book ! | Fri Apr 06 1990 14:19 | 5 |
It all depends whether your CD player has a special tray. Failing that there are plastic adaptors that you can buy for about 50p. | |||||

I'm wondering if VERTIGO are re-releasing some of their old catalogue of albums on CD, I think i'd buy a fair few if they did . P1 | |||||
