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.
