Amazon.co.uk Review
Say what you like about BBC Radio 1, its DJs or its playlists, they’re definitely getting one thing right through their commitment to live music--particularly with regards to the often quirky fruits that tumble forth from its Live Lounge. Volume 3 of the double CD collections from these sessions arrives packed with more than enough in the way of gems to offset the few inevitable run-of-the-mill single performances. Those justifying the format when modifying their own tracks include Kasabian working "Sympathy for the Devil" into "LSF", Duffy bringing some grit to a stripped down "Mercy", absent as she’s trotted it out endlessly elsewhere, and a bare, emotional "Daddy’s Gone" from Glasvegas. The real value of the set though is found in amongst Girls Aloud’s sensitive version of "With Every Heartbeat" (originally by Robyn), Ida Maria’s feisty "Sweet About Me" (Gabriella Cilmi), REM sketching "Munich" (Editors) out with mandolin refinement, Kate Nash absolutely owning a cute, giddy "Fluorescent Adolescent" (Arctic Monkeys), Goldfrapp’s haunting "It’s Not Over Yet" (Grace--made famous again by Klaxons), Santogold’s paranoid and chilling take on "Hometown Glory" (Adele) and Bat for Lashes’ pulsing, minimalist "Sweet Dreams" (Eurhythmics). If you’re looking for one single convincing reason to own this though, look no further than Dizzee Rascal’s bench-press solid, somersault swaggering, air-punching attitude-laden re-jigging of the Ting Tings’ "That’s Not My Name". It’s enough to justify the licence fee. --James Berry

Customer Reviews

another winner from jo whiley!
i got a promo of this album to review and it's every bit as good as the previous two. maybe a bit better than the last one. the ting tings track is a highlight, as is pendulum, and dizzee rascal. there's an old gem on there from athlete - a beautiful version of 'wires'. all the big acts from this year are present - duffy, adele, elbow, glasvegas, the script (covering eminem's 'lose yourself') and scouting for girls.
get it, and you won't regret it...

good as always but...
... where is the absolutely brilliant version of Run by Leona Lewis? Radio One were forever playing it after she came into the studio to do a Live Lounge session and I was convinced they would put it on their next album. I waited a year for the possibility of having it on this cd but it isn't here. The only real letdown. Good to see The Ting Ting's Standing in the Way of Control laced with Snaps's The Power! Awesome track. Buy this album for this alone!

Another Classic Live Lounge
Amazon don't let you review them, so here is the best place for me to review them.
When buying from Amazon, you are actually buying this from a Jersey Company "Indigostarfish". This album (labeled NEW) was not not plastic wrapped (as new discs should be) and the case was scratched and well used. The CDs themselves were in good condition.

As of the music itself, this is a good album worthy of 4 stars. (3stars from Amazon)
If you liked the other two live lounges, you must buy this. And, alternatively, if you like this, buy the other two albums.
