... to do tribute albums well. Some work, bringing new life to familiar tracks, while others are best left alone. In the sleeve notes Sinead O'Connor queries why Candle in the Wind hasn't been included in the selection - I agree, it's a strong, memorable song and is seriously missed. She says she can't believe no-one has recorded it. Well, Kate Bush did - badly and it appears as the b-side to her celtic-reggae-infused single Rocket Man. I can't believe the editor of the album's booklet didn't notice that gaff... :D

The originals are great songs, the choice of artists was interesting and the previous reviews were all very positive. However I found it disappointing. I don't think the interpretations came close to matching the originals or that these versions added anything new. I would suggest that if possible that you try before you buy. I'm afraid my copy is heading for the charity shop.

This is one of my most played albums ever I have worn out my original on tape and will replace with the CD!. The artists chosen to perform each song add their own personality to the track and I prefer these to Elton!!, from Oleta Adams powerful rendition of Don't let the sun', Sinead o' Connor haunting version of sacrifice (which I cannot see on Amazons play list??) to Wilson Phillips Daniel. 10/10 cannot fault.

Great CD
My original had degraded in some way (the only CD I have ever had an issue with, after 20+ years) and sort of "staggered" when played. Read more

DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM - IT'S BLOODY AWFUL.
Just ripped this into iTunes - FOUR SONGS OUT OF 16 - tracks 1, 3, 13 and 15. Although when you have artists of the "Calibre" of "Ron" Bon Jovial, Wilson Phillips and Rod Stewart... Read more

Ruined by bad recording
We purchased this CD for just one track, Sinead O'Connor's beautiful version of 'Sacrifice'.
Unfortunately the track sound levels are all over the place. Read more

Some good some not so good
Rocket Man should have been done by a guy-Candle in the Wind would have been a better bet for a Kate Bush cover. Read more

The best covers album ever
I heard this album shortly after it first came out and could not get passed thinking 'Surely they did that song originally didn't they'. Read more
