Nice, the only thing that lets it down is the horrible cardboard sleeve which are so tight to get the cd out and edges that can scratch the disc. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. These are excellent CDs I really enjoyed listening to them here and I would recommend them to any of my friends then. Winners Ruslana, Helena Paparizou and Emmelie De Forest are featured along with favourites from the past decade from The Roop and Eleni Foureira. The first disc includes the anthems 'Hallelujah' and 'Love Shine A Light' before the massively popular winner 'Fairytale' from Alexander Rybak, and dance-floor fillers from Charlotte Perrelli, Gina G, and Dana International.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This is not a bad collection of Eurovision songs at all, although squarely aimed at the UK market - as well as the usual winners, there's a healthy tranche of UK entries in these three discs, from Michael Ball's pure pop 1992 entry "One Step Out Of Time" to largely forgotten recent classics like James Fox' "Hold On To Our Love" and Jessica Garlick's "Come Back" (the UK's highest placed entry in 20 years, of course, until Sam Ryder scored his sensational second place in 2022).ABBA with ‘Waterloo’ followed by two of the UK’s all-time favourite winners from Bucks Fizz and Brotherhood Of Man… the first disc includes the anthems ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Love Shine A Light’ before contemporary favourites; Duncan Laurence’s ‘Arcade’, Måns Zelmerlöw with ‘Heroes’ and the stunning ‘Rise Like A Phoenix’ from Conchita – plus the massively popular winner ‘Fairytale’ from Alexander Rybak.

Established acts that represented the UK in the ’70s include Olivia Newton-John, The Shadows and The New Seekers – all featured.LP2 presents a run of perfect Pop gems, including Loreen with 'Euphoria', 'Popular' from Eric Saade, 'Wild Dances' from Ruslana, Helena Paparizou, Verka Serduchka and Netta, before heading back to well-loved '80s winners from Nicole with 'A Little Peace', Johnny Logan's 'What's Another Year', and one of the greatest singers ever, Celine Dion with the 1988 victor 'Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi'. With so many songs entered since the beginning (some highly cherished and others best left in the vaults) this won’t please everyone, but it’s a great chance to hear many of these songs again, and I hope further volumes are released or a DVD/Blu-ray collection - they should have “tooken one step further”!

However there is one glaring omission Celine Dion "Ne partez pas sans moi" 1988 winner for Switzerland, why? We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our site, provide personalised content and advertising, analyse our traffic, and ensure you see more of what you love.Over on side 2, ‘Rise Like A Phoenix’ from Conchita opens, followed by Måns Zelmerlöw with ‘Heroes’ and favourites from Verka Serduchka, and Netta. What lets it down a bit - and this is by no means unusual with Eurovision compilations - is the inclusion of many foreign language songs in their English versions. Flip the LP over for the final side which is all about celebrating the earlier years of the contest. One of the greatest singers ever, Céline Dion won the contest back in 1988 and leads LP3, which also includes ‘Hold Me Now’ from Johnny Logan, and 4 more winning songs from Jamala, Marija Šerifović, Secret Garden, and the first of four 1990’s victors representing Ireland, Eimear Quinn with ‘The Voice’.

Note: it comes in a cardboard gatefold sleeve rather than a jewel case - not my favourite format to be honest, but it's nice and compact for the shelf! and this incredible collection draws to a close with Domenico Modugno’s ‘Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu’, which would become a huge hit, often better known as ‘Volare’, and finishing with ‘Refrain’ from Lys Assia - the first ever winner from 1956. Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed. I really like this album as it manages to incapsulate the very essence of what the Eurovision Song Contest is all about. LP4 starts with ‘What’s Another Year’ – the first of Johnny Logan’s winners, and Nicole’s victor ‘A Little Peace’… as well as winners from Bobbysocks, Riva, Sandra Kim, Carola, and Corinne Hermès.The vinyl box features 84 songs on five clear vinyl records and includes track-by-track annotations, including facts about the song, artist, and result at the contest! Gina G, Verka Serduchka and Dana International bring the dance-floor classics, whilst Lordi and Måneskin brought Rock to the contest – and won! This unique 3 CD album features 70 of the most memorable songs from the contests history – including enduring fan favourites alongside massive selling winners. ABBA with 'Waterloo' followed by two of the UK's all-time favourite winners from Bucks Fizz and Brotherhood Of Man.
