Cover Shot - David Essex

The Early Essex Days

Advantages: Includes his top selling hits.
Disadvantages: They are the only good ones.

David Essex, born David Cook, in 1947, has enjoyed a varied career over the last 35 years. He has acted both on stage and in films and television and has many a successful song in the charts. Over the years he has twenty three hits to get into the top 30. He currently has a song in the charts, though I doubt it will make it far due to lack of air play. This song came about as part of a Channel 4 documentary, which attempted to bring back the Christmas number One. He has quite a following, of all ages, and still continues to tour. These days he only sells his records via his website and at the concerts, but previous releases can be found in good music shops. One of these is the CD, The Best of David Essex. It has been in my possession for many years. How it came to be I cannot say. My mum is a huge fan, to say the least ...

Review of Best Of David Essex, The - David Essex

Gorgeous David

Advantages: All the old songs are there
Disadvantages: Too many of the newer songs

This CD is a must for any ageing David Essex fan. The picture on the cover is enough to make any girl go weak at the knees! Look at those beatiful blue eyes- yummy! I keep the CD propped up next to my computer so I can look at him ....aawwww But enough of that- what about the music? This CD is a greatest hits record, and that's what it delivers. All the favourites are here: Rock On Gonna Make You a Star Lamplight Hold Me Close Stardust America Rolling Stone If I Could City Lights Oh What a Circus Silver Dream Machine Heart on my Sleeve Me and My Girl Falling Angels Riding Missing You Magic Picture This Sky It's Gonna Be Alright You're in My Heart Tahiti A Winter's Tale Now, instead of skipping to this sentence, go back and look through that list. This is the order they come in on the CD. All the old ...

Review of Greatest Hits - David Essex

Essex!

Advantages: Lots to do, good shopping, a beach
Disadvantages: Some places are real dumps

I live in Essex/East London in an area called Dagenham. I live in one of the "dumps" as mentioned in the disadvantages but I rreally think Essex is a nice place to live! Next year we are planning to move out into Pitsea, Basildon so were further into the nicer bits of Essex. First of all Essex has a couple of good shopping centres. Lakeside is great for real shopaholics as it's open 7 days a week, Monday to Friday is 10 - 10pm and Saturday it's open till 8 and Sunday till 5. It has just about everything there. Tons of music shops, lots of clothing, and my personal favourite, Krispy Kreme! Lol. :P Basildon also has a decant shopping centre and I personally enjoy going to Southend-On-Sea's high street shopping during the summer. As you go further out into East London you also have Romford's shopping mall which is a good one too. Plenty ...
