Format:Audio CD
The first seven tracks cannot be faulted and show a variation of styles all underpinned by Rea's superb guitar playing and, in Joys of Christmas and Gonna Buy a Hat, witty lyrics of the highest quality. After these, the quality varies a bit. However, there is some great work to come in Loving You Again and I Don't Care Anymore. Not quite as consistent an album as Road to Hell or as laid back as Espresso Logic or God's Great Banana Skin but worthy of 4 stars and essential for any Rea fan who picked up on him with RTH.

This is a quality Rea record - loads of catchy, atmospheric tunes. "Joys of Christmas", "Windy Town", "Gonna buy a hat", "Loving You again" and "Lets dance" are all superb. To be honest there are no dud tracks on this one and Rea is at the top of his game.
This LP was the half way through his run of 80's Classics and this is a great purchase alongside "Wired to The Moon", "Shamrock Diaries", "On The Beach" and "Road to Hell".
This CD is a must buy - so go on BUY IT!!!!

I've had this in my life (on vinyl, cassette and CD) since it came out in 1987. For me it's the best body of work Chris made during the 1980s. Yes, even more so than The Road To Hell. There are no weak moments, although it has to be said that September Blue never fails to leave me weak, emotionally... it's such a simple, poignant, beautiful song. An album that reminds me of a great time, it still gets regular plays at home and in the car. Highly recommended, especially to a Rea newcomer.

My husband had an old tape of this CD and he is so pleased now to be able to play in his car. It is a brilliant CD well worth the money .

I have just been introduced to Chris Rea and his music (How I missed his music for 25 years, is a mystery). Read more

A fine introduction . . .
Album no 3 in Chris' 'imperial' phase, and the all-important one before The Road To Hell set the seal on the legend. A splendid album, with something for everyone. Read more

Rea at his best.
In my opinion, Chris got going properly with 1985's 'Shamrock Diaries'. From then on his music just got better. Read more
