Format:Audio CD
I actually went out and bought a CD player when this album was first released (for the five bonus tracks). Although some of the instrumentation may sound a little dated, the songs are timeless. If you like the title track, buy this album.

What an excellent album - I bought it on vinyl when it came out first time around (yes I'm that old and more!) and subsequently on CD. Not a duff track in sight. Wonderful life is great but the sweetest smile stands head and shoulders above the rest - if this does not melt your heart then I am afraid it must be made of wood. Watch out for it in a remake of a love film soon!

Black (aka Colin Vearncombe) may be filed under 'whatever happened to?' these days, but his debut album in 1987 was undeniably a cracker, and deservedly reached no. 3 in the UK charts. He wasn't able to maintain this level of quality afterwards, but he's certainly not alone in that. WL's overall mood, reflecting the cover, is pretty sombre, but it's got enough changes of pace and drive to keep things interesting. Stand outs include the title track, I'm Not Afraid and Just Making Memories. The cd version runs rapidly out of gas after Sweetest Smile - the following four songs would have been better left on the studio floor in my opinion - but the original 10 songs all well justify their inclusion., with a seamless quality about them. Try it - you'll be pleasantly surprised...

Brilliant Album that never dates!
I bought this album soon after it came out and it was stolen from me by someone close. I couldn't bring myself to replace it until recently and I'm glad I did. Read more

The first album from Colin Vearnecomb et all is surprising. Surprising in the sense that it is not what you expected. Read more
