Reviewed by Matt Lockwood

Seems like we've been here before, but under a different name and with a different cover. In fact, under several different names and even more covers. Not satisfied with saturating the market with collections of everyone's favourite (apparently - don't remember them asking, though) worship songs, Kingsway present yet another offering of songs we have already heard many times over, this time on three CDs. The front sleeve promises versions "from original artist" but doesn't bother to tell the purchasers who they are! I can report that Chris Bowater, Dave Bilbrough, Matt Redman, Noel Richards, Stuart Townend and others are featured here. The newest song on this collection is well over six years old, so “cutting edge” cannot really describe the choice of songs. It's hard to put as much effort into writing this review as Kingsway put into producing this collection, most of which went into designing the cover (which is actually quite good). The songs themselves are great, but we already knew that. We knew that the first time Kingsway released them, and the second time, and the third time . . . am I labouring the point a bit here?
