Rocky Road

From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

I've just received my copy of the Anthems In Eden set, and after listening through all four discs, I'd have to say that this is one of the best musical bargains I've ever come across, at less than eight bucks per disc, with the accompanying booklet thrown in.
A real surprise was the track (#7 on Disc Two) by Harvey Andrews, Children Of Hiroshima. This is the (uncredited) poem by Nazim Hikmet, I Come And Stand At Every Door, which was recorded as such by The Byrds on their album Fifth Dimension. Anyway, Andrews' version is just as electrifying as the Byrds', only different.

As for the rest of the material, I would expand on what you've said, finding the entire set to be just fabulous, with only perhaps a couple of duds among the numerous tracks. Wow!
Unfortunately, the crappy editing that's rife among British publishing is evident in a few errors in the printed matter, not the least of which is the failure to credit the source for that Harvey Andrews' track, a gaffe compounded by the assertion that the song is "self-penned." There's also a photo of Alex Campbell prominently displayed on the back of one of the discs, erroneously tagged as "Ian Campbell." Oh, well--what can you do?
More listening tomorrow! And thanks for the alert, as always.
