Anyone buy the above today.

I did-not a bad free CD giveaway-one for my iPod me thinks.

By the way the paper itself is terrible-very poor reporting/jounalism imho.

Wonder who will be next for the free CD giveway treatment.

A mail reader Shocked

A lot of papers give away free CD's these days. Another con to buy a paper from the ailing industry.

I am a Times reader during the week and the Sun on a Sturday (i like their sports coverage) and the Sunday Times normally on a Sunday.

I bought the Mail today and a few weeks ago because of the simple reason thay had a free CD giveaway.

Save yourself time and frustration, Mark - buy the paper for the CD if you must, but chuck the paper in the nearest recycling bin straight after leaving the shop.... Smile

Very good advice Cherskiy-I won't be reading the Mail on a Sunday for a long time-a truly terrible rag.

Say 'bye' for me again Mark Rolling Eyes

Bananarama were rubbish anyway, bring on the Boswell Sisters I say Exclamation Proper harmony and swingy vocals.

Hi John-The Boswell Sisters-I'm afraid I have never heard of them-were they good.

Bananarama aren't that bad-nothing offensive about their songs-I find them quite cheery in actual fact.

Darn it - I actually bought Bananarama's Greatest twenty years ago. If I'd known it was going to be free this week I wouldn't have bothered Laughing

It did, however, work a treat at the time (together with Alison Moyet's Raindancing) in helping to rock the baby to sleep.

Bananarama's Greatest hits? Hmm How many did they have? Would it fill an EP?
According to the add, they were touted as the original girl group - I thought it as the Andrews sisters Laughing
