Rich collection of the Stones' earlier work.......2007-04-15
Many of the items on this album have been released before in well known collections (Hot Rocks, More Hot Rocks: Big Hits & Fazed Cookies, etc.). However, this provides a nice survey of what the subtitle refers to as "The London Years."
Especially welcome is Disc One. Here are a number of early works that draw upon the blues tradition out of which the Stones came. Their covers are as interesting, in some senses, as their own music. Chuck Berry's "Come on" illustrates. A nice rollicking version. Some of Willie Dixon's compositions are covered (e.g., "I Want to Be Loved," "I Just Want to Make Love to You," and "Little Red Rooster" [a cool version]). One of Buddy Holly's hits, "Not Fade Away," comes off well. Bobby Womack's "It's All over Now" is solidly sung (indeed, in a later Rolling Stones' tour, I saw Bobby Womack sing this as part of the opening for the concert). Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why" is also included. The other songs on Disc One are primarily works by Jagger-Richards themselves. Toward the end of this are quintessential Rolling Stones works of the mid-1960s, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Get off of My Cloud."
The second disc covers the years from "19th Nervous Breakdown" through the psychedelic album, "Their Satanic Majesties Request." Some rather little known works appear, but most are well known. Because of that, this covers much the same territory as "Hot Rocks" and is less interesting than the first CD. The final disc has a lot of the "greatest hits" of the late 1960s and early 1970s (think "Street Fighting Man," "Honky Tonk Women," "Brown Sugar," and "Sympathy for the Devil"). There are also some mildly entertaining trifles ("Jiving Sister Fanny" and "Memo from Turner").
The most interesting of the CDs, then, is the first, since it shows off nicely some of the foundational works upon which the Rolling Stones' oeuvre is based.
There are better choices for Rolling Stones GHs........2007-02-04
This box set was release in the late 80s during the peak of the box sets revival. The problem with the collection here is that it included all of the 45 records on 3 CDs. This may seem like a good ideal, and I will be the first to admit it, I thought it was great until I got it home and started listening to it. The problem is that not only does it included all of the hits, from "Satification" to "Get off my Cloud" to "Sympathy For The Devil", it includes also the B-side of the 45s, which include such songs as "Little Red Rooster", "Jiving Sister Fanny" and "Who's Driving Your Plane?". The issue is not the good stuff, it the filler that kills it. The Stones have way to many great songs, both before and after "Exile on Main Street" then to waste time listening to almost half the songs on this album. If you love the stones in the London Years, trade this in for Hot Rocks.
Great Fun. A Musical Biography of A Legendary Band's Early Years.......2006-11-06
This album is simply great fun from beginning to end. Made up of all the material on the Stones' singles, A and B sides, from the London years, it is a grand tour of their early years and their evolution as one of the top rock and roll bands of all time. The mix is good enough on the CD that the mono still sounds fine to me on a stereo system, so I have no complaints there. The sound is raw and energetic, much the way I expect their early concerts sounded. If you are a Stones fan, this is an essential addition to your music collection. So good that when the CD ends, you want to give it another listen.
I'm gonna tear my hair out just 4U!.......2006-08-16
Many, like me, read these reviews as a pastime. There are a few reviewers who must be more audiophilic than simply lovers of the Stones, or rock, or any particular group. In this particular case, since it is such a comprehensive and large box set--if you remember these were all singles, that's a LOT of vinyl replaced by 3 little discs--I am not going to be so particular.
This is the first boxed set or CD of any kind my goil friend, and now wife, risked buying finicky me: she felt she could not go wrong! And she was 100% correct. Mono, stereo, SACD, AIFF, AAC, whatEVAH--If you were jumping up and down to these songs over some tiny transistor AM radio in the sixties, and singing these songs in the bathroom, and they came out of your dashboard on Saturday night when you had your date parked out in the woods, BUY THIS! It sounds great, absolutely amazing, song after song, compared to what we had then, and the hits keep right on coming. Try to decide which songs Mick was messed up on. Figure out which ones were influenced by some other band from that era when they came out. Dig how amazing Brain Jones was always!
I don't think you can pack more coolness into a boxt set, as someone else said. This set of mine is like fifteen years old now, and I put it on iTunes a few months back. It gets played, in part, nearly every day, and I have 60 Gigs of iTunes! How good is that?
A Fantastic Compilation.......2006-08-13
If you happen to be a huge Rolling Stones fan like myself, than I must say that "The London Years: The Singles Collection" will make a fantastic edition to your cd library. This solid mix of classic hits by Mick and the boys and hard to find rarities, it is a truly wortwhile purchase.
Disc 1 covers 1962 up to 1965, kicking off with their first single, their cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On". What follows is a journey through some of their biggest hits ("(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Time Is On My Side", "Get Off My Cloud") and a stunning list of rare tracks (their cover of The Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Little Red Rooster", "Off The Hook", and much more).
Disc 2 is loaded with familliar Stones staples such as "19th Nervous Breakdown", "Pain It, Black", "Mother's Little Helper", "Ruby Tuesday" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash", and includes lesser known tunes like "Stupid Girl", "Sad Day", "Who's Driving Your Plane", "2000 Light Years From Home" and "In Another Land".
Disc 3 is the only disc I have really any complaints about. I hate how they put the single edit of "You Can't Always Get What You Want", the song is nothing without the choral intro. Plus, while I know this is solely meant to be a singles collection, I think that any Stones compilation covering this period, even if it's mainly just the singles, should include "Gimme Shelter", "Let It Bleed" and "Midnight Rambler".
Other than that (plus the fact that the cd won't play on my computer), I have virtually no complaints about this fantastic compilation that I recommend to all fans of great rock and roll.

The most comprehensive anthology of the Rolling Stones' prime early work collects every single from the beginning up through 1971, A- and B-sides. All the obvious hits are here ("Satisfaction," "Jumping Jack Flash," "Honky Tonk Women," "Brown Sugar") as well as several B-sides ("Stoned," "I Want to Be Loved," "I Don't Know Why AKA I Don't Know Why I Love You") not previously released on CD. But it's the unrelenting succession of great cuts that make this a landmark collection. No band in the history of rock and roll has a catalog as substantial and hard-hitting. Quite simply, one the most essential rock collections ever released. --Rob O'Connor

All glitter and tarnished gold.......2007-02-26
THE ROLLING STONES SINGLES COLLECTION * THE LONDON YEARS consists of three CDs packed in the LP-sized box that was in vogue 10 or 15 years ago-- in hindsight, a wastefully expensive package. The included 72-page giant book is of recycled-quality paper. It's pages are dyed several starkly annoying colors, and all graphics are in low-grade B&W. Two pages of text in front, and two in back bookend the spread out song lyrics and lousy-looking photos. A hack job, design-wise.
The music is little better, sonically. There's a persistent dullness to a lot of these tracks. Andrew Oldham is credited with oversight of this project, so it's surprising that the transfers aren't more vibrant. This great material has been badly served. Recommended only for serious fans or completists. A middling rating for a mediocre product.

Stoned To My seat listening to this.......2004-06-03
A comprehensive collection of single releases from 1963-71 which is far more than it proclaims in it's title. This is the most complete collection of Rolling Stones singles and b-sides available on CD format. From their first in June of 1963 (Come On b/w I Want to Be Loved), you will find almost every aspect of the Stones singles material represented, including British flip-sides and Decca/London singles released after 1971. This 3CD (4LP) set overlaps thirty-five (35) songs from the Hot Rocks collections (4CDs), but offers an additional twenty-three (23) selections. Remaining true to the singles, songs such as Sympathy For the Devil, You Can't Always Get What You Want, and Dandelion are heard as they were in their original edited (or extended) "single" form for this album. note-though it would have been a great highlight, this collection does not contain Street Fighting Man as it is heard in it's initial 7" form, that version remains otherwise unavailable on any official CD or LP. When the song Wild Horses was released as a single, it's b-side Sway was found in alternate form as well; that recording was not owned by Decca/London, and thus was not included in this collection.
A Box of Stones that Rocks!!!.......2003-09-05
What a great idea! While their most noteworthy contemporaries, the Beatles, were one of the first bands to explore the possibilities of creating great albums, by and large the Stones remained a band that created listenable, danceable, rockable hit singles. (There were some exceptional albums, however, such as Aftermath and Beggars Banquet.) So, their original record company has a great idea: Why not gather together ALL the Stones singles (the ones released on the London label from the years 1963-1976) with their flip sides (both US and UK) and release them in one great big beautiful box! Brilliant, huh??? Actually, it is an excellent concept and, for the most part, well executed. It is true that many of the Stones great singles are here: "Satisfaction," "Get Off of My Cloud," "Brown Sugar," "Let's Spend the Night Together," etc. It is also true that many of their lesser known singles and fabulous flips (B-sides) are here as well. Many other bands would feel very lucky to have just one song as good as "The Spider and the Fly," "The Under-assistant West Cost Promotion Man," "Play With Fire," "Little Red Rooster," and "Ruby Tuesday". So, that means it's a perfect compilation, right? Well, not quite. For one thing, both hits and flips include a lot of clunkers, such as "Sad Day", "Memo from Turner," "The Singer Not the Song" and "Surprise, Surprise." Also included are some of the mid-sixties demos later gathered on the album Metamorphosis, such as "I Don't Know Why" and "Jiving Sister Fanny." They are interesting ideas, but obviously unfinished. Finally, since this is a singles collection, that means we get the cut version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want." Most listeners will no doubt want the full version that contains the choral section at the beginning, found on the Let It Bleed album. Still, over 3/4 of the cuts are worthwhile, and many are classics not easy to find in one place. So, grab your boxers, put on this box, and rock this town!!!
The best!.......2003-08-10
This three-disc set is by far the best overview of the Rolling Stones' first twelve years as recording artists.
Spanning 1963-1975, "The London Years" chronicles every single the band ever released during those years, including B-sides.
"Hot Rocks 1964-71" is an excellent compilation for those who just want a brief overview, but if you want to dig a little deeper, this is the way to go. "The London Years" only includes the singles (well, almost), and the Stones made many excellent albums for sure. Even their earliest R&B records were impeccably paced. But their singles always had a special punch, and here you get all of them.
The album opens with a Chuck Berry cover, "Come On", before moving through various blues and R&B covers ("I Want To Be Loved", "The Little Red Rooster", "Time Is On My Side"), and literally dozens of Jagger/Richards-originals, including "Satisfaction", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Street Fighting Man", "Honky Tonk Women", "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses" and many, many more.
Scoop up this magnificent collection of music, and "Jump Back: The Best of the Rolling Stones 1971-1993", and you'll have a much better overview of the Stones' career than those who just opt for "Forty Licks".

THIS COLLECTION IS ALREADY A LEGEND.......2007-04-29
My basic interest is in 60s rock and british invasion. I do like to hear their influences of course. This awesome collection is a must for any fan of Muddy, Wolf, Otis Rush, Robert Johnson, Little Walter, although the music is more in the doo wop style than blues. The amazing thing about James Brown is that he wrote all these songs. This collection properly captures what a mega-giant he was. If Zep and Clapton fans lionize Muddy and Johnson, Zappa fans need to look to James Brown.
the true Roots of a Revolution..........2007-02-21
Well, if you're reading this review it's already too late to take advantage of this great lil package. Limited to 5000 copies this gem has all but disappeared from the shelves of Amazon. I wish they would do the entire James Brown catalog just like this one, chronologically.
Nice Remastered package.......2007-01-21
This 2-CD set collects James Browns' singles for the Federal Label. I am not a fan of 1950s rock, but I do like 60s & 70s r&b, particularly any artist that can really get down or belt out a tune like no one else (Ike & Tina or James Brown). This collection presents both the a & b side of his singles (almost all of them mono) up to 1960. It also includes a booklet detailing the info on each single. The remastering (from the original source tapes) sounds as good as mono from this period can (with only the demo exhibiting sub-par sound quality). This would make a nice addendum to your James Brown collection, though I wouldn't begin with this unless you're a big 50s fan. However, the CD is supposedly limited to 5,000 copies, so if you think you might want it, you should probably snatch it up quickly.

A re-release to promote a very worthy cause........2005-01-16
This is the 1996 re-release of one of Amos's career-defining songs about self-awareness and the boxed in feeling associated with rape victims - "Silent All These Years." This song was given a re-release to raise awareness for Amos's organization, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (R.A.I.N.N.). The standout title track is the untouched version from her 1991/92 solo debut album "Little Earthquakes." The second track is a live version of the song from her R.A.I.N.N. benefit concert in 1996.
A wonderful song... but that's all........2004-09-28
Sure, SATY is a great song and all, but.. that's all you're buying. No B-sides or anything. There are better singles out there. (the SATY import, for example.)
Only Toriphiles will appreciate this CD single.......2002-09-05
This CD single contains only two songs, one of which is the standard album version, so I cannot give it five stars. Your average listener would probably not be able to justify buying this for one song only; for Toriphiles like myself, though, this is a 5-star item because it features a live version of one of Tori's best songs. Heck, I'd buy it just for the picture on the front, but that's just me. As I said, the first track is the regular version of Silent All These Years from Tori's Little Earthquakes album, so don't go thinking it is some kind of special version or remix. As for the live version of the song, it's a little different than I expected. Tori really slows down the pace of it, pausing at odd intervals in her customary way--it makes for a more personal, reflective, and sadder version of the song. It's beautiful, but I fear that only Toriphiles will be truly satisfied with it. If you don't know what EWF stands for, this CD single is probably not for you.
one star for each song.......2002-02-21
Tori appears on the cover in her "unlock the silence" shirt. The live track is from the "Live in NY" concert video (VHS), which is an excellent concert! This CD isn't really that exciting, but it is nice to have a "silent all these years" single on the shelf.
3/2/1 Stars If You Don't Like Tori.......2000-09-09
If liking Tori Amos is a sin, then most of us have committed the sin. If liking Tori Amos is uncool, then most of us are rather uncool. If liking Tori Amos is a guilty pleasure, then most of us have this common guilty pleasure. This song, (it was not a single at that time) first introduced me to Tori Amos, is important to me. The lyrics goes something like this:'Years go and I am still waiting for somebody else to understand', it perfectly illustrated my feeling at the age of 14. Definitely not perfect, this isn't her best song either, neither is this the best song on Little Earthquake, which could be her weakest album. Well, not big deal, you cynics! But to us, this is momentous.

The most comprehensive anthology of the Rolling Stones' prime early work collects every single from the beginning up through 1971, A- and B-sides. All the obvious hits are here ("Satisfaction," "Jumping Jack Flash," "Honky Tonk Women," "Brown Sugar") as well as several B-sides ("Stoned," "I Want to Be Loved," "I Don't Know Why AKA I Don't Know Why I Love You") not previously released on CD. But it's the unrelenting succession of great cuts that make this a landmark collection. No band in the history of rock and roll has a catalog as substantial and hard-hitting. Quite simply, one the most essential rock collections ever released. --Rob O'Connor

All glitter and tarnished gold.......2007-02-26
THE ROLLING STONES SINGLES COLLECTION * THE LONDON YEARS consists of three CDs packed in the LP-sized box that was in vogue 10 or 15 years ago-- in hindsight, a wastefully expensive package. The included 72-page giant book is of recycled-quality paper. It's pages are dyed several starkly annoying colors, and all graphics are in low-grade B&W. Two pages of text in front, and two in back bookend the spread out song lyrics and lousy-looking photos. A hack job, design-wise.
The music is little better, sonically. There's a persistent dullness to a lot of these tracks. Andrew Oldham is credited with oversight of this project, so it's surprising that the transfers aren't more vibrant. This great material has been badly served. Recommended only for serious fans or completists. A middling rating for a mediocre product.

Stoned To My seat listening to this.......2004-06-03
A comprehensive collection of single releases from 1963-71 which is far more than it proclaims in it's title. This is the most complete collection of Rolling Stones singles and b-sides available on CD format. From their first in June of 1963 (Come On b/w I Want to Be Loved), you will find almost every aspect of the Stones singles material represented, including British flip-sides and Decca/London singles released after 1971. This 3CD (4LP) set overlaps thirty-five (35) songs from the Hot Rocks collections (4CDs), but offers an additional twenty-three (23) selections. Remaining true to the singles, songs such as Sympathy For the Devil, You Can't Always Get What You Want, and Dandelion are heard as they were in their original edited (or extended) "single" form for this album. note-though it would have been a great highlight, this collection does not contain Street Fighting Man as it is heard in it's initial 7" form, that version remains otherwise unavailable on any official CD or LP. When the song Wild Horses was released as a single, it's b-side Sway was found in alternate form as well; that recording was not owned by Decca/London, and thus was not included in this collection.
A Box of Stones that Rocks!!!.......2003-09-05
What a great idea! While their most noteworthy contemporaries, the Beatles, were one of the first bands to explore the possibilities of creating great albums, by and large the Stones remained a band that created listenable, danceable, rockable hit singles. (There were some exceptional albums, however, such as Aftermath and Beggars Banquet.) So, their original record company has a great idea: Why not gather together ALL the Stones singles (the ones released on the London label from the years 1963-1976) with their flip sides (both US and UK) and release them in one great big beautiful box! Brilliant, huh??? Actually, it is an excellent concept and, for the most part, well executed. It is true that many of the Stones great singles are here: "Satisfaction," "Get Off of My Cloud," "Brown Sugar," "Let's Spend the Night Together," etc. It is also true that many of their lesser known singles and fabulous flips (B-sides) are here as well. Many other bands would feel very lucky to have just one song as good as "The Spider and the Fly," "The Under-assistant West Cost Promotion Man," "Play With Fire," "Little Red Rooster," and "Ruby Tuesday". So, that means it's a perfect compilation, right? Well, not quite. For one thing, both hits and flips include a lot of clunkers, such as "Sad Day", "Memo from Turner," "The Singer Not the Song" and "Surprise, Surprise." Also included are some of the mid-sixties demos later gathered on the album Metamorphosis, such as "I Don't Know Why" and "Jiving Sister Fanny." They are interesting ideas, but obviously unfinished. Finally, since this is a singles collection, that means we get the cut version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want." Most listeners will no doubt want the full version that contains the choral section at the beginning, found on the Let It Bleed album. Still, over 3/4 of the cuts are worthwhile, and many are classics not easy to find in one place. So, grab your boxers, put on this box, and rock this town!!!
The best!.......2003-08-10
This three-disc set is by far the best overview of the Rolling Stones' first twelve years as recording artists.
Spanning 1963-1975, "The London Years" chronicles every single the band ever released during those years, including B-sides.
"Hot Rocks 1964-71" is an excellent compilation for those who just want a brief overview, but if you want to dig a little deeper, this is the way to go. "The London Years" only includes the singles (well, almost), and the Stones made many excellent albums for sure. Even their earliest R&B records were impeccably paced. But their singles always had a special punch, and here you get all of them.
The album opens with a Chuck Berry cover, "Come On", before moving through various blues and R&B covers ("I Want To Be Loved", "The Little Red Rooster", "Time Is On My Side"), and literally dozens of Jagger/Richards-originals, including "Satisfaction", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Street Fighting Man", "Honky Tonk Women", "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses" and many, many more.
Scoop up this magnificent collection of music, and "Jump Back: The Best of the Rolling Stones 1971-1993", and you'll have a much better overview of the Stones' career than those who just opt for "Forty Licks".

Also See The Golden Roots Review.......2004-11-23
It may be no secret by now that Charlie Rich was eclectic himself in his choice and style of music, so eclectic, so wide-ranging that he could not be categorized (a bit like Ray Charles). Due to that he never really achieved the success that he really deserved, years of countrypolitan or not, as nobody knew how to promote him. After "Behind Closed Doors" hit, the umpteen record companies that he had recorded for all seemed to release his songs from their vaults to capitalize on his new fame. I bought them all since I was not always able to when they first came out; they are all included in this package. Charlie had made new, equally as good or better. versions of his so-so hits (or non-hits) as he moved from record company to record company. Apparently he never did so with "A Little Bit Sweet", a favorite of this then-romantic teenager in the listening area of his home base of Memphis. "On My Knees", included here, was redone effectively with country singer Janie Fricke near the end of his countrypolitan reign. There was more than one version of "Sittin' and Thinkin'", a regional hit. The bluesy "There Won't Be Anymore" was restyled into a country hit in the mid-70s. The more ambitious version of "Midnight Blues" became an often-played album cut from "Every Time You Touch Me (I Get High"). The particular selection of the songs here seem very similar to the compilation "Original Hits and Midnight Demos" available in another venue. In any case, these are the originals from which the other versions sprang. This is a great piece of musical history. I value my own well-kept collection of these songs by a musician talented on all levels. I miss him.
The Golden Roots of the Silver Fox.......2003-12-21
Years before he found the sophisticated countrypolitan formula that would vault him to international fame in the mid-70s, Rich was a second-generation Sun rock 'n' roller. Starting in 1958, he released a string of truly fine singles that wed his background in R&B, blues and jazz to the reverbed energy of Sun's rockabilly sound. Surprisingly, he had virtually no commercial success in his six years at Sun, peaking at #22 with the self-penned "Lonely Weekends," hitting #67 on the country chart with "Who Will the Next Fool Be," and scraping the bottom of the pop chart at #111 with "Just a Little Bit Sweet."
Perhaps his delivery at such an early point in his career was just too similar to Elvis' contemporaneous work at RCA to capture its own audience. He sang with authority and not a little bit of swagger, but his Sun sides (actually released on the Sun subsidiary Phillips International) never ignited a commercial following. His success in placing songs with Sun labelmates suggests that perhaps Rich's style may have cut too smoothly across genres to engage those coming strictly from the worlds of rock 'n' roll, blues or R&B. It would be another 15 years before the record-buying world would wake up to his synthesis.
Rich's first single, "Whirlwind" b/w "Philadelphia Baby," shows a purer rockabilly sound to be a good fit for Rich's voice. By his second outing he was mixing in gospel ("Big Man"), and his third, "Lonely Weekends," adds blue country soul to the rock 'n' roll. He sang (and to a large extent, penned) doo-wop ("School Days"), Latin ballads ("On My Knees"), blues ("Who Will the Next Fool Be," "Midnight Blues"), R&B ("Easy Money," "Finally Found Out"), and pop jazz ("There's Another Place I Can't Go"). His versatility is admirable and effective, though it was probably confusing for the marketing folks at Sun.
Varese's compilation of Rich's original 10 singles (both A and B sides) is augmented by three album tracks and a pair of cuts previously unissued by Sun. Highlights among the bonuses are Rich's heartbroken, yet bouncy "Goodbye Mary Ann," the Jerry Lee Lewis styled piano rockabilly "Yes Ma'am," and the jazzy piano-driven blues growl "There Won't Be Anymore."
Fans familiar only with Rich's hit '70s sides, and perhaps "Lonely Weekend," as well as fans of '50s rock 'n' roll (or modern day revivalists like Big Sandy), will delight in this lesser explored side of The Silver Fox.

Customer Reviews:
Surprise!.......2003-08-20
After the highly successful release of his first two singles, Stop Living the Lie and Don't Let Go in the first quarter of this year, David Sneddon's debut album hit the stores and I am sure a large number of people were surprised.
Surprised by the VARIETY:
This album contains a wide variety of music styles, from the lyrical celtic-tinged WITHOUT YOU to full-scaled rock numbers such as FOLLOW ME and BEST OF ORDER.
Surprised by the QUALITY:
The singing on this album is also of a varied style. From ballads such as STOP LIVING THE LIE and DON'T LET GO to anthems such as TIME TO FALL DOWN and LONG TIME COMING.
Surprised by the HONESTY:
Unlike many other debut albums, Seven Years Ten Weeks is exactly what it says on the cover - a semi-autobiographical journey through the last seven years and ten weeks of David Sneddon's life. From singing in smoky pubs to busking on street corners all the way to surviving a £1 million competition, it is all here for the listener to share.
This album is designed to be listened to from the beginning to the end and believe me, you wouldn't want to do it any other way!!
Try it and you'll find out what you've been missing for Seven Years and Ten Weeks.
An album written by a musical genius!.......2003-07-02
David Sneddon's debut album Seven Years - Ten Weeks is absolutely fantastic. With 12 of the 13 tracks written by David, enlisting some help with his best friend, guitarist John Kielty and Scott MacAlister, this album takes the listener through the journey Mr Sneddon has made to get where he is today.
Beginning with "Best Of Order", David kick starts the album with a tale of his time playing in Glasgow pubs and clubs, when all he wanted was for people to take note of the performer he is. The chorus is infectious and David makes a great live performance of this. This is the next single, out in August.
The mood of the album changes slightly, with the more mellow "Time To Fall Down", all about trying again and not giving up on your dreams.
Next is the number one single, "Stop Living The Lie" with a twist! This version is much more rockier with a great electric guitar solo at the start. The song finishes off nicely with a clever modulation.
"All My Life" yet again tells the story of how David struggled to get a break in the music business, busking on the streets "Took a little bit of money tried to find my soul, standing on the corner of a street where nobody goes". Lovely piano playing make this song all the more poignant.
"Follow Me" is a great "clap your hands and stamp your feet" anthem. This song is about the wild ride into the music world and how David had to become accustomed to this lifestyle very quickly.
"Don't Let Go", the last single which reached number 3 in the charts is next. This is a great song with a fantastic piano riff, complemented by lovely strings. I feel that this song can have a double meaning - it can be about letting go of a relationship, or letting go of your dreams.
Next up is "The Bluebird", moving onto the rockier side again, and this is followed by David's favourite live track "Lazy".
"O.K" is about trying to prove yourself to the world, and those nasty Fame Academy judges "Doesn't really matter what you say, hit me with your best shot, you know I'm gonna be O.K!" Fabulous!
"Without You" is a sweeping Celtic ballad - soppy lyrics, but the BEST melody! The piano instrumental shows David's great technique and his vocals soar above the instrumentation. Beautiful song.
"Neverland" could be aimed at all these critics, journalists etc. who are ready to shoot anyway who comes into their path. This track has the influence of Robbie Williams as David sings "Neverland, you're stuck in your own private little Neverland, I will never understand, how you ever live with what you do." Well said Mr Sneddon!
"Long Time Coming" is the last album track, written by John Kielty from their time in the band The Martians. Absolutely fantastic song and a great finish to the album.
But wait, there's more! Yep, a hidden track called "I Love You" written for David's girlfriend Eleanor. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a lovely personal touch to a super album.
Honestly, I cannot fault this album, it is outstanding in every sense. David is the new Elton John. His songwriting, piano playing and singing totally outshine many of the acts around today. It's refreshing to see a talent like this and he's a fab live performer. If you haven't seen him yet or listened to this album, you are missing out!
As he says in his album notes "I've been a musician for 7 years. To anyone with half a brain, 10 weeks on a TV show is nothing."
GO LISTEN!!
Superlative Debut Album.......2003-07-02
David Sneddon has proved that he is so much more than a reality tv made popstar - he may instead be the next Elton John!
All but one of these tracks were penned by The Snedmeister himself and what superb songs they are ..... from the wonderful ballads such as Don't Let Go, All My Life, Time to Fall Down, OK, Stop Living the Lie, Long Time Coming (written by John Kielty) and my favourite the soaring, Celtic Without You.
He's also upbeat on Best of Order (the next single release), Follow Me, Neverland and the total feel good track The Bluebird.
I think many people will be very surprised by this album - anyone who thought David was just a "soppy ballad singer" will be very taken aback.
David Sneddon is going to be around for a very long time, he's an extremely talented singer/song writer.
Buy this album - you'll love it!

An eclectic mix.......2003-06-27
David Sneddon promised that his debut album would be a cross between Robbie Williams and David Gray; the kind of comment that's given him the "arrogant" tag, but it does seem as if he's pulled it off, more or less.
The first two singles from 7 Years 10 Weeks, "Stop Living The Lie" and "Don't Let Go" aren't very representative of the rest of Sneddon's music, and are probably the weakest songs on the album. The rest is taken up with an eclectic mix of rock tracks, from the brilliantly energetic "Best of Order" and "Follow Me" to ballads like the haunting "Without You" and the highly personal "All My Life", via dirty rock tracks like "Lazy". The best track is probably "Time To Fall Down", a heartfelt, Beatles-influenced ballad without a hint of boyband wishy-washiness.
This album, with its grown-up and deliberately rough-edged sound might not satisfy the younger fans, but it's a very promising start and if people are willing to see past Sneddon's pretty-boy looks he should pick up a legion of music fans on the back of it.

Excellent raw noisy political punk.......2006-10-17
The Ex are committed philosophical idealists and political activists, who also happen to be a long existing and deeply influential punk band. The Ex - from the Netherlands - formed in the late '70s, and began recording in the early 80s, releasing singles, EPs and LPs on various indie labels, and participating in the creation and maintanence of politcal punk scenes in Europe, the U.S., and elsewhere. This recording compiles much of their early work, and sounds very raw and abrasive, as well as minimalist and lo-fi. Most of the songs are sung in English (though some, such as Lied Der Steinklopfer, are not), and offer socially critical and political themes and topics. While a number of the songs sound a bit same-ish, some do stand out. Among these are Human Car, which explores the analogy of man:machine, and does so over classic hardcore punk riffs, and some of the more explicitly topical or political songs, such as Cells, Weapons for El Salvador, Enough is Enough (which also features a kind of Middle Eastern sounding motif within the song), and the dirgelike Memberhips. Highly recommended for fans of noise bands and/or leftist message oriented punk. Perhaps less so for the casual listener.
The Ex's members have included: G.W. Sok, Andy Ex, Tom Greene, Terrie Hessels, Terrie Ex, Katrin Bornfeld, Wineke T. Hart, Luc Klaassen, Jos Kley, Sabien Witteman, René, and Geurt
