|
 | Mozart: Vespers; Ave verum corpus
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £7.24 No, this is meant to be here! It features Lynne Dawson, who has a truly fabulous voice and Mozart's Ave Corpus which is almost matchless.
|
 | Supernature by Goldfrapp
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.93 The production on this album is superb but it all stems from Alison Goldfrapp's excellent vocals.
|
 | Feeling Good by Nina Simone
Buy new: £12.99 / Used from: £3.49 If you don't own any Nina Simone then this is a great place start but do move on to some of her earlier albums, especially the live recordings.
|
 | Pearl by Janis Joplin
Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £4.00 I was once compared to this great lady by someone at a gig I'd done, probably not an accurate comparison but very flattering all the same!
