4.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Celebration of everything Eurovision, 29 Oct 2002
This is a well constructed piece of music history and is a fantastic celebration of everything that is Eurovision. The fact that it has the very rare English version of The Herreys "Diggi Loo Diggi Lei" is a god send. I now completely understand why they wore golden boots whilst performing the song during the contest they won. If you don't understand that, listen to the lyrics.

It has the musically "interesting" to the fantastic. For example, Conny Froboes' "Zwei Kleine Italiener" sounds like something Perry Como might have done during one of his christmas shows, whilst the excellent but haunting "Nocturne" by Secret Garden, Norway's 1995 winner, sounds a little out of place in Eurovision. Nethertheless both deserved inclusion in this compliation as examples of Eurovision at its best. What I really applaud the makers of this compilation for was the inclusion of The Shadows' "Let Me Be The One", probably one of the best songs never to win Eurovision and very difficult to find.

If you are interested in the Eurovision Song Contest, then I recommend that you buy this compilation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Eurovision Compilation, 3 May 2002
By A Customer
An excellent Eurovision compilation. Many people in the past (for other CD's) have made the comment that they are too British centred.

However this one takes abroad sweep at Eurovision (although decidedly northern European in focus), and really shows some of the best music. this include the cracking "Better the devil you know" by Sonia in 1993 (incidentally my first real contest).

There are, of course, other gems, such as Bucks Fizz. But what truly makes this compilation stand out are the VERY rare ENGLISH LANGUAGE recordings of Diggy-Loo Diggy Ley by the Herreys (first for Sweden in 1984), and the ENGLISH version of "La det Swinge" by Bobbysocks (first for Norway in 1985). Worth the money for these two tracks alone.

Buy it and enjoy it. I certainly have!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the spirit, 1 Feb 2006
If you're doing a Eurovision compilation, which captures the essence of the competition, you should try to get the winning songs first, then some well known international acts whose participation in the contest is not well known, like Nana Mouskouri, Plastic Bertrand, Silver Convention, Julio Iglesias, Baccara, Cliff Richard, Mary Hopkin, followed by much loved songs which didn't win (Volare, L'Amour Est Bleu), and some songs which were naff (Didai Didai Dai, Boum Badaboum). Also make sure you've got the original recordings in the original languages, although versions in other languages, especially English, are suitable as extra tracks.

This collection falls short. It is too much of a mixed bag, and maybe too "Dutch"!

I must also correct "A music lover" from Cheshire. Mary Hopkin's 1970 entry was not Those Were The Days (a 1968 UK chart topper), but Knock Knock Who's There.
