Full review
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 favourites are at the beginning, and this is a shame. A big shame.

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.
