This three CD collection of ‘70s songs had us dancing around the office like Dolly Parton at a Kenny Rogers concert. With a selection of songs that encompass everything from well known hits by Donna Summer and Minnie Ripperton to lesser known kitsch jems from Meri Wilson and Carole Bayer Sager.

10,000 BC DVD July Must Haves : handbag.com
Starring: Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Release date: 21 July 2008
We can\'t quite understand the utter pasting that 10,000 BC got from the critics. Yes, it was totally over the top, a bit up itself and completely mad in places, but isn\'t that the point? A film is meant to entertain you and 10,000 BC is entertaining. It looks amazing, the leading man is hot and the story has its heart in the right place. Buy or rent it asap.

Partie Traumatic is like a good one night stand. Very pleasurable and over all too soon. Weird similes aside, this fantastic debut from the much-hyped Black Kids is a bracing tour de force of today\'s most exciting new sound: urgent, punky, guitar driven synth-pop loveliness and a must for all discerning music fans.

Mamma Mia The Movie July Must Haves : handbag.com
Starring: Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Julie Walters
Directed by: Phyllida Lloyd
Release date: 10 July 2008
Having never seen the original musical and being a little dubious about musicals as films any way, we went in to Mamma Mia The Movie expecting the worst. We came out utterly elated, full of the joys and ready for a night of cocktails and dancing. Meryl Streep is a goddess and Mamma Mia is a tonic for tired souls. Great, great fun.

Primal Scream album July Must Haves : handbag.com
Release date: 21 July 2008
Since releasing Screamadelica in 1991, Primal Scream have struggled to produce a record that lives up to that album\'s sheer brilliance. Although their latest release, Beautiful Future may not quite reach those dizzy heights either, it comes pretty damn close. With guest collaborations from Lovefoxx of CSS, Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age and British folk singer Linda Thompson, Beautiful Future is exciting stuff and definitely shouldn\'t be missed.
Beautiful Future, £8.99

WALL.E toy July Must Haves : handbag.com

It was inevitable that a slew of WALL.E toys would quickly be available for fans of the film, but before you start tutting about commercialism etc, take a look at how adorable this toy is. Look at his eyes. He needs a home. So sad. Plug WALL.E into your MP3 player and not only does he act as a portable speaker system, but at the flick of a switch, he will start to get on down to your favourite tunes. Brilliant.
