It was as wonderful as the series but oh so sad at the end. It's rare I care so much about a tv show but this one was just so great. I miss it--the writing is fab, the acting is fab....there's little on these days that's as good, IMHO. Marcy L.

Including Bono, William Hague, Billy Bragg, Wayne Heminway, Tony Benn, Evelyn Glennie, Patrick Moore, Javis Cocker, Des'ree and more. Produced in conjunction with Jubilee 2000, a pound from every CD sold will go towards their compaign to cancel debt in the world's poorest countries. Stunningly presented in a fold-out digi-pack with a 16 page booklet including biog. notes on those featured on the CD. Avalible on CD and cassette. [unsolicited opinion follows] Jubilee 2000 is a pretty cool idea in all. (and, in all fairness, rather than simply cancelling the third world debt, we should be paying MASSIVE reparations for the 508 years of colonial/imperial depradation its suffered at our hands.) however, i can't see where any big banks are gonna agree to write off the debt. seems to me like a lot of pissing in the wind. by the way, i accidentally ordered three copies rather than one, and couldn't figure any way to undo it. so i guess i'll have two extra copies up for grabs at some point. oh, and an aside to john partridge: the rekkid is available in both the "compact disc" and "cassette" format. sadly, no vinyl.

Well, my point was that the Beck album ranked #3 more because of the *quantity* of lists it appeared on, rather than how highly it placed on those lists. To be more specific: Beck scored 631 points via 47 lists. That works out to Beck earning 13.4 points per list. Since the submitted lists were top 20s (awarded from 1 to 20 points), that means on average, Beck only ranked seventh or eighth on those 47 lists. It's just that he ranked seventh or eighth on so *many* lists. (By comparison, Tom Waits' album scored 631 points via only *40* lists.) >will.> > >got off your >ass and *purchase* a copy if you'd really like to hear it so badly.
