5.0 out of 5 stars Great voice, great songs, 13 Oct 2002
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
Tony Christie had several big hits on the UK charts in the early 1970s and also appears on the original recording of Rice/Webber's Evita album from 1975. With his big booming voice and power ballads he mined a similar vein as Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck. This is an excellent, value-for-money collection of his greatest hits plus some covers of popular songs from the seventies, like Home Lovin' Man, You've Lost That loving Feeling, Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast, I'm Not In Love and The Way We Were. My favorites include the powerful lament about gambling called Las Vegas, the brilliant Avenues and Alleyways and the dramatic tale of revenge called I Did What I Did For Maria that was a UK top ten for him in 1971, and really sounds more like a genuine rock 'n roll song than anything else. Other hits that I remember include (Is This The Way To)Amarillo and Don't Go Down To Reno, but these sound a bit formulaic and unoriginal. Only one track from the Evita album is included: On This Night Of A Thousand Stars, but it's real classy and far better than Jimmy Nail's version on the Soundtrack album to the Evita movie. Christie's good taste in material, versatile voice and professionalism lift him above many contemporary easy-listening or MoR balladeers. This album will please his fans and one hopes that fans of say, Michael Bolton and Andrea Boticelli, would discover this great but obscure vocalist.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is THE complete Tony Christie Best Of CD, 12 Jul 2000
By Martin R. Wedge "martley1" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The song 'Walk like a panther' released in 1999 reintroduced Tony Christie to the UK Top 40 for the first time in almost 30 years. Whether you heard that song and wanted an introduction to Tony Christie's music, or have liked his music for a long time then may I recommend this CD for your collection. Unlike many releases, this REALLY IS the best of Tony Christie, as it features the wonderful 'Don't go down to Reno', from 1971, as well as all his other hits and classics. I still think that 'The avenues and alleyways' is one of the campest records ever; it sounds like a soundtrack to a Pearl & Dean promotion screened at a cinema circa 1970! This whole CD is sensational to the max, and leaves one to wonder why Tony has been lacking a high public profile for so long. Perhaps it is because musical genres come in and out of fashion. However they say that what goes around comes around, and together with the overall revival of artists such as Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdink, Tony's time has come again. But don't think for a second that Tony's music is the same as the aforementioned artists. Although he may be from the same era, his music and voice is totally unique. If you like any kitsch, easy listening music, or if you just want to hear great pop songs, then this CD is definitely for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars an amazing collection from a great singer, 6 Mar 2002
Having purchased this great cd, my only dissapointment was -it was not in stereo, the bass was a bit flat, but having said that its a wonderful piece of history dating back to the seventies when Tony was in his prime, yes! he could outsing Tom Jones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - easy listening
Toni Christie is totally undervalued by the British public. He has a great voice and this CD is a fantastic show case. I would liken him to Neil Diamond or Tom Jones etc. Read more
