Legendary record label Island Records, which is celebrating it's 50th anniversary this year, will release the 3-CD set Island Life: 50 Years of Island Records on June 9.
The first two discs of the set are the retrospective of some of the label's greatest artists and songs from their first major hit, Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop," to tracks by the Sugababes and the Fratellis. Unfortunately, the tracks are not sequenced in historical order so you can't get a good feel for the different genres as they developed over the years.
The third disc is the curiosity of the set as is presents covers of songs made famous on the label. You get everything from Grace Jones doing Roxy Music's "Love is the Drug" to I Blame Coco's take on Pete Wingfield's "Eighteen With a Bullet."
