SINCE its launch in July, Mantovani Moments has brought you the very cheesiest in music and literature from around the city's charity shops.

And because Christmas is almost here, and just for fun, the Bath Star is giving away 20 of its easiest listening second hand LP records (remember, these are good old-fashioned vinyl recordings not CDs) to just one lucky reader.

From Cilla Black to Roger Whittaker, Perry Como to The Nolan Sisters, this is THE definitive charity shop collection.

So feast your eyes on the following gems that could soon be yours: Cilla Black Love Songs; Vera Lynn As Time Goes By; Nana Mouskouri Over & Over; Engelbert Humperdinck Release Me; Pam Ayres Some More Of Me Poems & Songs; and Geoff Love and His Orchestra Big War Movie Themes.

If you fancy winning this unique collection of all-time hits (and many of you won't), simply complete the following sentence: 'I like Val Doonican because.....'

The most imaginative answer pulled out of the postbag will win.
