review by Charles Scott
(Premier Ballroom Dancing DJ, England)
(Dance News, England)

It is some time since we have heard from Ross Mitchell with his Dance And Listen Label,
I am pleased to say that a new release is now available called "Dance Night Collection".
Catalogue number DLD 1100

OK ! It's a compilation CD but with a difference - 31 tracks on this special edition.
Ross has selected from his vast library tunes requested by the dancers. I did say this CD
is different with SIX COMPLETELY NEW TRACKS that include the Quickstep
"T' ain't What You Do", two beautiful Foxtrots "Once In A While" and "My Funny Valentine".
I have a feeling you will be hearing these Foxtrots in the Ballrooms throughout the Country.

Moving to the new Latin tracks with a Cha Cha Cha titled "In These Shoes" and a couple of
Rumbas called " Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" and "Out Of Reach", these tracks I am
sure will be very popular with the Latin Dancers.

Back to some of the compilation tracks. Ross has included "Onedin Line" (Waltz),
"Hernando's Hideaway" (Tango), "Iko Iko" (Samba), "I Love You 'Cause I want To" (Jive)
With the high cost of producing Dance CDs I am wondering if this will become a new trend
by including and adding new tracks to compilation CDs, Ross is certainly leading the way.
This is an excellent CD and certainly worth adding to your library

'POWER OF MUSIC'
review by Bryan Allen
(Dance News, England)

Dancers cannot really say there is a lack of first class music to accompany their competitive or
pleasure dancing. In the main all the CDs released in these past years have been good, however
some possess that little extra that makes them more personally satisfying. The latest to reach has
the title DANCE NIGHT COLLECTION which has 31 tracks of excellent music from Ross Mitchell
His Band And Singers. All Ballroom and Latin style dancers will be delighted with it but also
Sequence Dancers will enjoy it for the arrangements are all specially done with their needs in mind.
The reference number is DLD 1100.

There are six brand new recordings among the thirty one tracks so you will find many old favourites
to enjoy plus these quite outstanding new items. The Quickstep "'T AIN'T WHAT YOU DO" will be a
certain favourite with competitors for it just helps you swing and fly around the floor. In addition the
advice given by the words is a great message for all dancers trying to impress the judges! Listen to
the words for you cannot have better advise to aid your efforts.Two new Foxtrots, first an attractive
"ONCE IN A WHILE" arrangement followed by what I feel is an ideal featured sound for Foxtrot
dancing of Piano, Bass and Drums for "MY FUNNY VALENTINE". I thought this to be the best
Foxtrot track I have heard for many a long time. The Cha Cha Cha "IN THESE SHOES" is another
sure fire and certain winner, loads of rhythm and a super arrangement. The other new recordings
are both Rumbas, "WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW" and " OUT OF REACH" both excellent
Ross Mitchell is always reliable in both the sound of the music and the tempo.
There are all ten main rhythms covered plus two Mambos tracks, both of which will be popular.
I congratulate Ross Mitchell on this, his latest CD.
I am confident that it will prove to be very successful
