The 250 Richest Ever!

Business Blog Trading Floor - thebusiness.co.uk
A fun little new book has come out about the richest 250 Britons ever.
He heads a list of 250 people in a new book, The Richest of the Rich, by Philip Beresford, who compiles the Rich List, and Bill Rubinstein, a professor of history at Aberystwyth University. The list excludes monarchs. Their study stretches back to the Norman conquest of 1066 and includes medieval barons, moneylenders and monks as well as modern-day billionaires. Mittal just scrapes into the top 20 at number 20; Abramovich is at number 59 with £10.8 billion, a few ducats behind Cardinal.

Flyleaf

"Our hometown's so small that..." Ask any member of Flyleaf what's the closest major city they're from and the answer is a wavering "Well, I suppose you could say Waco." Not Dallas, not Houston...Waco. That's how tiny their hometown of Belton, Texas, is. Equally tiny is lead singer Lacey Mosely. Standing barely 5 feet tall, she possesses a quiet demeanor and eyes right out of a Margaret Keane painting. But what's not tiny about Flyleaf is their music. Their driving metal sound reinforces Lacey's passionate and surprisingly commanding vocals. The band's debut EP has sold close to 20,000 copies, earning them critical acclaim from the likes of Kerrang and Metal Hammer in the UK as well as Metal Edge dubbing them one of the "Bands to Watch in 2005."

Are you listening Elvis? Now you have chance.

In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational "A Little Less Conversation" remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the '87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. "In the Ghetto" and "Burning Love" never reached the top there, nor did "Way Down," despite every copy of that 45 selling out on both sides of the Atlantic following Presley's 1977 death. Instead, the new compilers have used the major pop charts in both the U.S. (including Cashbox) and U.K. to determine inclusions. The tracks have all been remixed from original masters, which proves awesome at best (some of the songs have never sounded crisper if, at times, slightly antiseptic) and problematic at worst. Purists will definitely quibble. "A Fool Such As I," for instance, sounds like Elvis rerecorded his vocals. Hank Garland's great guitar solo also sounds different. It might be an alternate take. That's definitely the case with "The Wonder of You." A few lyrics are even different, meaning this isn't the same version as the original 45. Of course, none of that should matter to the youngsters who've been singing along to "Hound Dog" on the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, or to any other newcomers. Despite the complaints, this is arguably the best single disc Elvis primer to date. Real fans will want to explore much deeper for treasures to be found, but albums like this guarantee that this is one king who will deservedly live very long, if not forever.

These are 31 tracks for your pleasure.
