Steve_Mitchell 0 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 A lot of rubbish on there but I suppose for £8 there are plenty of songs you could use. Steve 5 European cups and 18 leagues, that`s what we call history. Link to post Share on other sites

DJ JENX 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 yes im watching a few on Ebay so will hopefully pick up a few bargains this weekend DJ Jenx www.JenxDisco.co.uk - Link to post Share on other sites
UKHero 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I actually buy them for two reasons 1 for the car 2 for the unusual songs that you dont find on other compilations (What others might call the rubish) If a punter asks for one of these tunes you might just make someones day... From the above list I would say Good tunes = well known, on every compilation going and probably falls in the cheese genre and the other tunes, not so well known or used and most djs have not heard of them, But some clients have... For £8 well worth the investment IMHO Nik Niks Roadshow Link to post Share on other sites

I think ill buy a few of these, i think there are about 8 different ones, 60s, 70s, etc etc So If i buy 8 of them at theres nearly a thousand songs for about 65 quid, loads id use and some that would probably be handy at some point if theres a request.
