Golf's verdict: Strong debut from Robbie, buoyed by its singles.

Maire's verdict: Not as good as I remember but does have 'Let Me Entertain You' which is a classic track.

Golf's verdict: Unique voice, but - at least at this stage - some inconsistent song choices. The title track and Maggie May are well worth it though.

Maire's verdict: Don't get the appeal, to be honest. 'Maggie May' is fun but prefer Elvis's version of 'That's All Right'.

Golf's verdict: Never an album band in the way that The Beatles are (probably much to their frustration), this is nevertheless a great listen, mixing very fine singles ('Paint It Black', 'Under My Thumb') with well known tunes ('Lady Jane') and some blues standards (albeit, interpretations from the pen and plectrum of Jagger/Richards).

Maire's verdict: This has my favourite Rolling Stones song as the first track ('Paint It Black'). 'Lady Jane' is pretty good as well. Unfortunately, just as I started listening on the plane back from Wellington my headphones decided to die on the left side so didn't get the full effect.
