This is a comprehensive and very entertaining overview of an eclectic career which covered so much more ground than that suggested by Lewie's handful of wonderful hit singles, such as "Stop The Cavalry", "You Will Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties" and "Louise (We Get It Right)". All the b-sides of those singles are here too, and the liner notes are interesting reading as part of a neat and likeable package...
...so what happened to the mastering of "Stop The Cavalry", in which the first HALF of the trumpet fanfare which opens the track has gone missing? Was that a conscious decision by some crazy compilation editor, or are the Stiff archives in such sad shape that one of Lewie's most well-loved moments has been chopped like this by damage at some point in the past? Whichever the case, given that this track will be one of the main reasons for many people to give this compilation a try and one of the tracks people will most want in their collection, it's enough of a bungle to lose at least one star. What a pity.

I'm very glad I was reminded of Jona Lewie's work with the advertisement - it prompted me to buy 'The Best of Jona Lewie' and enjoy his hits [or some of them] on this excellent CD. I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes listening to this type of music - unique to say the least.

Jona cooks up a winner for any party!
Great to hear one of the most commercial sounding singers to come out of the "punk" era get another airing,if only due to, (and thanks to that t.v. commercial). Read more

Certainly no disappointment with this album, it's worth every penny. It's a fun album and reminds you of the talent of Jona Lewie.

A real lesser known gem of the fantastic early 80s music,
An underrated master of the indie sound of the early 80's Jona Lewie combines catchy tunes, a bouncy beat witty lyrics and is always memorable. Read more
