Not that he performed any of the tracks on the album 1973-1975: The EMI Years. There was not a trace of The Harder They Come and Many Rivers To Cross. He sounds impossibly young, but there's much charm in this mix of chugging pop reggae of a sunny John Holt vintage, which include one classic, Oh Jamaica. ——————————————————————————————————1/6—— Planet Sound is moving — see page 408 NEW GENERATION PHONE?

Ever. Good jazz by nature should be anything but smooth as Miles Davis, Ella, Nina Simone and Cannonball Adderley prove. Bizarre inclusions of Swing Out Sister, St Germain, Bobbie Gentry, Mica Paris and Maze rob it of any credibility. ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— The week's best specialist CDs 167 ARE YOU PLANNING A NIGHT IN OR OUT?

Do You Ever Think Of Me? (Revola) assembles his early '60s material to revive the mystery of Neil's sad music. Although better known for covers of his songs (Tim Buckley made The Dolphins famous) this is a beguiling album. ——————————————————————————————————3/6—— Views in The Void 162 Get help with dieting, love or stress on your mobile.

Twenty five years? Surely there has to be some mistake. Anyway, it's a good enough excuse for the label to put together a 20-track compilation called Teenage Kicks. On the album there's My Perfect Cousin, You'vi Got My Number, Julie Ocean, Jimmy Jimmy and many more. They really were quite good... ——————————————————————————————————4/6—— This weekend's music news 161 NEWS AND SPORTS HEADLINES ALSO ON OUR WEBSITE: www.teletext.co.uk Pick Tours Cinema Kids

It's hands-in-the-air stuff, with some real classics like Fascinating Rhythm by Bass-O-Matic and Frankie Knuckles's The Whistle Song. Shaken, K-Klass, Inner City and the great Renegade Soundwave also figure. ——————————————————————————————————5/6—— Feeling Saucy?

Re-Press: The 70s Soul Revival (Warner) doesn't quite maintain this level of intensity through the other 39 tracks on this double-CD but it has a formidable crack nevertheless. KC & The Sunshine Band, Rose Royce, Chic, Chaka Khan, Sister Sledge... all the famous cuts too. Boogie on down. ——————————————————————————————————6/6—— The week's albums reviewed 164 LOADS FOR KIDS TO DO p190 Pick Tours Cinema Kids
