VA - READERS POLL #03, VA - 100 Greatest Closing Tracks (A Butterboy Compilation) (5 x CDs)

Firstly, let me thank all who have provided their submissions for the Great Closing Track Readers Poll. The task was made a little harder as I requested that you did not duplicate the first 3 volumes I has posted previously. What we have ended up with is a new set of 100 tracks that meet that challenge and are frankly all wonderful choices.

The tracks that you have chosen have already given me many hours of listening pleasure. I am sure you will enjoy them too.  As expected, the diversity of genres and musical styles have been a real challenge to piece together for this compilation. The 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's are all represented. Many hours were spent listening to and reshuffling the track order which was not only a labour of love but also a delight to reacquaint with some forgotten songs.  

Here are your choices for the Readers Poll Great Closing track CDs. A Total Hours of 10:57:45 over 5 CDs. Short and long songs spread over multiple genres. As I like, an eclectic mix indeed. Each track has the contributor referenced in the comments section. Thanks again for all your support and wonderful selections.

Thank you all again for your participation and great choices.

Enjoy!
