Review: Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits Vol. 1 was a four-album set released by the superstar American and musician Elvis Presley in August, 1970 and it managed to get up to number 45 on the Billboard 200. The album was certified gold six months after release and then double platinum by 1992. Four of the tracks were new for the collection including 'Viva Las Vegas', 'Suspicious Minds', 'Don't Cry Daddy' and 'Kentucky Rain.' The rest of them are well known and perfectly aged tunes for the hardcore Elvis fan.

Review: In the wider sprawl of Wu-Tang classics, people don't talk about Ironman enough. Ghostface Killah stepped up with this solo debut in 1996, bringing everything you could ever want from one of the most important units in hip-hop history. With RZA on the buttons and guest spots from Raekwon, Cappadonna and no less than Mary J. Blige, in a lot of ways Ironman showed a softer side to Wu-Tang, with plenty of heartfelt reflecting on personal relationships and trauma to offset the grittier street tales. Ghostface was at the peak of his powers on Ironman, and now you can cop this seminal classic on audiophile blue and red wax.

Review: Iranian German composer Ramin Djawadi is the man who created the musical pieces which enriched multiple series of the award winning show Westworld. He's a versatile composer who ably flitted between aggressive action sounds and more intimate, emotional scenes of drama. There is an ever present sense of mystery throughout as well as that subtly underlying Western feeling. There are original pieces like the haunting main title music but also plenty of great covers of the likes of The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army' and Kanye's 'Runaway.'
