Leo Blokhuis en Ricky Koole, muziekliefhebbers pur sang, zijn samen in hun platenkast gedoken om de mooiste liedjes naar boven te halen. Zo verzamelden ze de afgelopen jaren hun persoonlijke favoriete liedjes en brachten deze uit op dubbelalbums onder de titel "Songs We Shouldn't Forget". Deze box bevat de eerste vier delen: "Songs We Shouldn't Forget - Collected", bestaande uit de dubbel-albums "Sleeping Beauties", "Lost And Found", "Back On Track" en "Time Will Tell". Speciaal voor deze heruitgave verpakt in deluxe mintpacks en uitgebreide booklets. Stuks voor stuk prachtige verzamelalbums met mooie (vaak onbekendere) liedjes die niet in vergetelheid mogen raken. Een aanrader voor muziekliefhebbers en iedereen die pure, authentieke muziek wilt ontdekken. De albums bevatten oa muziek van James Taylor, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Donny Hathaway, Radiohead, Eric Clapton, Amos Lee, Wilco, Beck, Shelby Lynne, Bettye LaVette, Tom Waits en vele, vele anderen.
Leo Blokhuis kennen we van zijn werk bij de Top 2000, Top Pop, boeken, theatershows en Soundbooks. Ricky Koole is actrice en zangeres. In 1995 studeerde zij af aan de Academie voor Kleinkunst in Amsterdam. Sindsdien speelt ze in verschillende theatervoorstellingen en films. Samen maakten Leo en Ricky meerdere theaterprogramma's, waar ze het publiek meenamen op een muzikale reis.
