5.0 out of 5 stars Good but not complete...., 16 Aug 2005
By John David Charles Hilton "Creative spark...." (Redcliffe, Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
My copy of the original was bought second hand and had lots of surface scratches. So when this reissue came out I was glad to get a replacement.
This is probably Jimmy's masterpiece. A well rounded and varied collection stuffed full of great songs, from the joyful pop of Don't Leave Me This Way and Disenchanted, to the intricate La Dola Rosa and Reprise.
But this reissue turned out to be a disappointment. For some reason they decided to use the seven inch versions of the four singles rather than the longer album versions. I can think of no real reason for this, and, as a result I have, on the whole, stuck with my battered old copy of the original CD release. The sound is better on the later release, but it is marred by those inexplicable edits. Just to rub it in the sleeve notes refer to the original length of the album, which was getting on for an hour. The edits take it down to a more typical length.
And the bonus mega mix of Don't Leave Me This Way (all 22 minutes plus of it) is far too long and outstays its welcome by quite a margin.
The old CD issue is very hard to get hold of these days, so any new buyers will have to put up with this flawed release. It is still a great album, even in this form, but it should have been so much better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent to have the original album on CD, 19 Oct 2009
Communards may be one of those less remembered groups from the 80s, but this was a class album of its day, and the songs still make a great album now. I am very pleased to get the re-mastered copy with all the original tracks on CD now.
In particular, the 1986 chart hit 'Don't Leave Me This Way' (which was the UK's biggest selling single that year) provides the fast-tempo beat for an excellent feel-good song, along with another disco speed track 'Disenchanted'. The slightly jazzy, torch-song of 'Loverman' has Sarah Jane Morris' guest vocals complementing Jimmy Sommerville perfectly, and stands the test of time, in my opinion.
One of my other faves from this album was 'Breadline Britain', melodic but telling in the 80s culture, where more pop songs recorded social inequalities and 'real' life for many people.
All in all, with its talented musicianship of Jimmy Somerville and Richard Coles, it has plenty of tracks you'll really enjoy.
