The Reader's Digest
 
I have just been deeply shocked to read from a link in Google News (UK version) that the UK edition of the Readers Digest has gone belly up
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-sto...5875-22051080/
Apparently this was a completely separate operation to the American Readers Digest and that
""The US parent company Reader's Digest Association Inc filed for bankruptcy protection last August after a private equity buyout lumbered the business with huge debts"
The article also had a link to:-
RDStore.com - Official
Official Store for Reader'sDigest Gifts, Books, Music, DVDs, & More
www.ReadersDigestStore.com
So I took a butcher’s
And was interested to see a $30.00 4 CD box set at:-
http://www.readersdigeststore.com/I-...B001CWHV1Q.htm
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41l87pfhCwL.jpg
the sales blurb says
"Description:
Reader's Digest Music Editor's hand picked this 75 song collection from thousands of recordings - selecting only folk favorites that had the power to move - from the sad irony in ''Where Have All The Flowers Gone?'' by The Brothers Four, to the tender romance in ''If I Were A Carpenter'' by Joan Baez, you'll find them all in I Hear America Singin'. These are the artists who know how to take good lyrics and turn them into hit songs that never die. Folk music giants like Pete Seeger, The Kingston Trio, John Denver, Judy Collins and so many more!
there is a complete track listing showing a tempting list of classic folk recordings.
Now I have often been tempted by such issues especially those in the interminable television commercials by Time-Life:
As in tempted to buy then copy the CDs before returning them as unsatisfactory for the full promised refund!!
I was suitably impressed by the contents of the 4 CDs
which included on
disk1 track 8. First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Gordon Lightfoot
disk2 track 6. For Loving Me - Gordon Lightfoot
disk3 track 12. Did She Mention My Name - Gordon Lightfoot
disk4 track 11. Ribbon of Darkness - Gordon Lightfoot
an impressive 4 out of 75

5 gordsongs out of 75
(and that is excluding
disk3 track 19. Me and Bobby McGee - Willie Nelson)!
