‘Night of the Proms Best of’ double CD
For the occasion of the fall editions in 2009, not only will there be a Best of John Miles at Night of the Proms CD released, but also a new general Best Of Night of the Proms double disc with 33 songs. Together with the 15 of John Miles, the NOTP fan gets 48 new tracks offered for sale!I orderd the CD through the website of NOTP and had it in my letter box only three days later.
This double ‘Best of’ goes on into the tradition of the last ones released in 2002 and 2003, so a wonderful mix of some classical pieces and more recent songs of modern artists. The most songs date from 2000 or later; Bryan Ferry, Al Jarreau and Roger Hodgson paid their contribution in 1995, Status Quo in 1999.
Some songs were never put on CD before. ‘Sanctify’ from the Simple Minds was recorded in 2008, probably in Antwerp, while ‘Enolay Gay’ from OMD, the powered closure, was recorded in Benidorm (Spain) in 2008. They form a nice completion to the collection of all the NOTP fans.
When you not own the complete NOTP CD collection, you will be pleased with the recordings of the artists that only played in Germany (and sometimes Spain). On the German CD the songs of Mike Oldfield, Kim Wilde and Paul Carrack were recorded during the rehearsals in Antwerp and were later on mixed with the sound of the audience. It are these prerecorded ones that you’ll hear again on this CD.
This double disc is a nice collection with a perfect overview of the last editions. It’s a very good investment for who doesn’t own the 63 pervious released CD (over the different countries).
