On the Karen collection: Nice to see FLY IN THE SKY getting a full extended release (only been out in megamix form thus far). For those of you who've never heard it, OPEN YOUR EYES is far and away one of the best Aishu Eurobeat tracks ever made, and certainly an absolute top song for Karen, so grab it now the extended is no longer restricted to Maharaja Night 9! Finally we get two completely unreleased songs: TAKE ME AWAY and EVERGREEN. Should be interesting to hear those!
On the Leslie Parrish collection: If you already have Eurobeat Masters then there's not much you're missing here. EVERYBODY LOVES CHRISTMAS sees its first extended release away from the sole Xmas megamix album it appeared on. Everything else is either very common or fairly pedestrian.
On the King & Queen collection: This fares a bit better! BIGGEST LOVE and BOLERO RHAPSODY get full releases outside their (rare) King & Queen solo album. YA YA YA is another although this got a release in Maharaja Night too.
Overall not a bad effort, but the Karen album is sorely missing:
RHYTHM OF LOVING (superb song from way back on SEB 27)
RIDE LIKE THE WIND (unreleased extended from Euromach 2)
Hope we see these before too long!
