Various - New Hits 96 download free

I picked this up from my local second hand electronics store (Cash Converters) for 50 pence. I am compilation addict, so I wanted to add this to my ever growing collection. The compilation holds many classic favourites from the year, although I only know of some of them as I was only at the age of 2 when this album came out. Even though the album says New Hits 96, some of the hits date back to the 80s, with a selection actually coming from 1996 - but this only seems to apply to Disc 1. I am unsure for their reason in doing so, maybe these older tracks had their come uppance in 96 or maybe they just needed to fill the gaps - so that each cd would have equal amount of tracks. Also I am quite bewildered in why they split the rear cover into Parts (being Parts 1-4) - like if they were on cassette. Maybe that was their reason, who knows - but nothing says Part 2, and they are not continuous tracks. Also as I said in release notes, the rear inlay doesn’t account/mention the track mixes (for example original mix) just the tracks. The rear inlay also is bare of any catalogue numbers, label codes or copyright information - this can be seen by the images. Anyway enough of the aesthetics of the CD, the track quality on here - nowadays, is not worth that much. There is alot of stuff you skip. Some of the electronic stuff isn’t wowing, with the best being Prodigy’s appearance. This CD was worth the 50 pence at the end of the day, with the gem of the Oasis Cover of Quiet Riots Cum On Feel The Noize. The best tracks on this compilation, in my opinion are: *Return Of The Mack - Mark Morrison *I Will Survive - Chantay Savage *Children - Robert Miles *Firestarter - Prodigy *Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit - Gina G *Search For The Hero - M People *Missing - Everything But The Girl *I Just Wanna Make Love To You - Etta James *Dont Look Back In Anger - Oasis *Ladykillers - Lush *You And Me Song - The Wannadies *The Riverboat Song - Ocean Colour Scene *Cum On Feel The Noize - Oasis *Ready To Go - Republica Also it can be noted that the compilation seems to follow this pattern: CD1 Parts 1 & 2 = Top hits of the year including all genres CD2 Part 3 = All types of rock, including what is a hint of the now very popular Rap Metal/Rock by Dog Eat Dog CD2 Part 4 = This is all electronic music, with the so-so novelty song being Move Move Move by Manchester United Squad. My Ratings: Quality of Selection of Music: 5/10 Aesthetical Quality (What information is given etc.): 3/10 Worth How Much I spent on it - 9/10
