5.0 out of 5 stars Bucks Fizz at their Best, 8 Jun 2004

By

"daniel999uk" - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Hear Talk (Audio CD)

Any Bucks Fizz fan will tell you how long they have waited for this magnificent album from 1984 to be released on cd - well, 20 years is a long time, but well worth the wait. Contains the top 40 hits 'Talking in Your Sleep' and 'I hear talk', this album shows Bucks Fizz at thier most mature. Bobby Gee does the lead vocal honours on most of the tracks, which gives the lp a consistent feel, although Mike Nolan excels on 'Januarys Gone', a big ballad in the tradition of 'Now those days are gone' from 2 years earlier. Cheryl Baker takes lead on the sweet 'Tears on the Ballroom floor' whilst Jay Aston closes the original album with a superb performance on the edgy and drama filled 'Thief in the Night'. No Fillers here, just perfectly crafted pop gems with unbelievably polished production from Andy Hill, the man behind the unique Bucks Fizz sound.
The real bonuses come after track 10, we are then treated to all the b sides and rare tracks from this period in the bands career. Stand out b-side of the 12" release of the 'I Hear Talk' single, 'Invisible', is included here, and how well it fits in. Its no surprise that this track was once ear-marked as a single release and its inclusion is most welcome. The cd closes with a brand new previously unreleased song 'Young Hearts'. Previously only heard live on tour, this track finally claws its way out of the vaults and is the perfect end to this cd collection.
Anyone who has ever owned a Bucks Fizz record from the 80's, or perhaps has the greatest hits cd in there collection, should seriously consider purchasing this cd, Bucks Fizz at the very height of an illustrious, and too often overlooked career.

5.0 out of 5 stars The masterpiece returns!, 16 Jun 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: I Hear Talk (Audio CD)

I cannot believe that this album is finally coming out on CD after a wait of 20 years. It's always been too easy to knock Bucks Fizz. In fact, they were a superb vocal group who made great pop records, impeccably written and produced by the vastly talented Andy Hill. This is by far their most coherent album. Gems include the epic ballads "Tears on the Ballroom Floor" and Mike Nolan's "January's Gone", which is one of the finest tracks they ever recorded. "Golden Days" was a great single, and should have been a big hit. It always annoyed me that as the fans lost interest, Bucks Fizz were doing their best work. If only they had released "Invisible" instead of the disappointing "London Town".

I can't wait to finally get a copy of this superb album.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's good to Talk, 9 July 2004

This review is from: I Hear Talk (Audio CD)

Having paused briefly to release their "Greatest Hits" album at the end of 1983, Bucks Fizz returned in fine style with "I Hear Talk," their best album yet. The first single, a cover of The Romantics' "Talking In Your Sleep" was a good appetiser for the album to come. Grittier guitar work infused the trademark Bucks Fizz pop, adding a satisfying weight to their sound. The group had clearly grown up. Their pop songs now had bite without sacrificing any essential bounce. This was as solid and cohesive album as you could wish for. The sounds were fashionably of their time without being faddy and the range of material played to the various strengths of the four members. Virtually everything about "I Hear Talk" worked: the songs, the production, the visuals. Only three A-sides emerged from the album, despite the undeniable strength of songs like "Breaking Me Up," "Thief In The Night," "Indebted To You" and "Tears On The Ballroom Floor". It is remarkable, then, that the most successful single ("Talking In Your Sleep") peaked at #15 and the album itself stalled at a disappointing #66. Both "Golden Days" and the ultra-catchy title track were only modest chart successes, despite being amongst the strongest tracks the group ever released, supported by excellent videos. Nevertheless, chart success is not always a reflection of quality and, in "I Hear Talk," Bucks Fizz had an album to be truly proud of.

This re-release is augmented by a collection of B-sides from the era and a brace of tracks recorded four years later. "Invisible" was only released as a bonus track on the 12" of "I Hear Talk" but could easily have justified its place on the original album or even as an independent A-side. It is certainly stronger than, say, "January's Gone." This album and its related B-sides show interesting developments within the group, who were honing their own writing and production skills. Bobby G seems to have been the most prolific at this time, but Cheryl Baker's writing and production on "Where Do I Go Now?" is worthy of mention. The set is rounded off with two 1988 tracks, the stronger of which is "Here's Looking At You," released as the B-side to the wonderful "Heart Of Stone." It is a strong and catchy song and more polished than the previously unreleased "Young Hearts," which sounds more like a work in progress than a finished product.
