Katie Melua has just released her Ultimate collection album and I know she maybe not everyones cup of tea but she has written some good stuff and if you are a fan this album is a must as it contains 5 tracks off Call off the Search which has been available only on Discogs on vinyl for about £400!

It is a double album and contains 26 tracks including some new covers and a beautiful rendition of Fields of Gold. I know a lot of new vinyl nowadays can be poor but this is the most perfect new pressing I have ever bought with zero faults and no clicks or pops at all. Total silent background and no groove noise, so it can be done.

It is not audiophile quality but none the less very good with a superb selection from her musical archive. The are no fillers on this record. I would give most of her production quality a B* but there are one or two A.

A nice Christmas snooze album for those of you who like her.

At £20 this double vinyl album is very good value for money.
