5. KÄÄNNETYT VIISUHELMET ERI ESITTÄJIÄ - WARNER MUSIC UUSI
The first double CD has all Finnish Eurovision entries 1961-2005 and some versions of them in English, some for the very first time on CD.
The second double CD has Eurovision songs covered by Finnish popular artists, mostly from the 60's, 70's and 80s.
The CDs are very well presented, with extensive sleeve notes (in Finnish) and some fun nostalgic photos, that have not been seen often. Also the tracks seem to have been remastered for these releases, which makes them milestones in Finnish Eurovision history, and a very rare to chance to see Eurovision music in such a prominent position. Well done to all those involved!
Available via various web retailers and fan clubs, each CD is priced at about €17 - 24 depending on the source.
