The whole point of buying a David Essex CD is to re-live our teeny-bopper youth, when flare were in for the first time and Leo Sayer hadn't disgraced himself on Big Brother. I would have preferred it if the songs had been organised in a different way.
I was also disappointed that A Winter's Tale had been chosen as the last song, as it leaves you feeling slightly 'down' when it ends.
Overall, I'd have liked more of the old songs and a brighter one to finish.
