An important point! 29 Mar 2012

By 70'S MAN

Format:Audio CD

The definitive versions of "Bang" "Goodbye Jumbo" and "Private Revolution" are the re-issues on the Papillon label. Sonically they blow away the previous Ensign cd's, they have much improved low end and so much more detail in the sound. Despite the fact they currently seem unavailable, keep searching - it's well worth it!

Top Class 3 Aug 2009

By C. Voyce

Format:Audio CD

This is their best album to date, while the others are good, taking a while to get into, this is top notch. Love every track, lot of style variations, top track 'Sooner or Later'. Buy, relax, enjoy ;o)

UK's REM... only much better 24 May 2007

By FRS VINE™ VOICE

Format:Audio CD

I remember thinking when it came out that "World Party" were the UK's answer to REM... only much better.

This and their previous album "Goodbye Jumbo", I would recommend as essential purchases. The influences, such as Dylan, Prince, Beatles and Stones are obvious. However the song writing and melodies and hooks, overcome these comparisons enough to produce really original albums.

This is a grower of an album which stays in your memory, due largely to superb song writing.

And of course "Is it like Today" is one of the greatest songs of the decade.

Does what it says on the tin (arrived promptly too). First heard this in the mid-90s, and the Kuwait City song still makes the cut.

Mature World Party

This is a great album and no mistake. It is the first mature album by World Party and my only critiscism is that perhaps the album is a little over produced. Read more

A patchy affair, but some high points.

Afflicted by the psame inconsistency in quality that has marred much of World Party's catalogue post-'Goodbye Jumbo' (though not to the extent of 'Egyptology'), this is an odd mix,... Read more
