Advantages: Very catchy upbeat songs. Disadvantages: None
...on the album. Much better version and Amy Winehouse is fantastic. Im not really much of a fan of hers but she is great. It will have you bopping in no time!

A great buy! ...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: Little Hip Hop
...the making of the re-don version for Ronson. It is much more appealing than the original as you see that with his jazzy approach it brings out much more energy out of the tune to counteract the plainness of the sound which came form the first version. **Four Stars** 14. "Outversion" (Lude) Although this is a pretty alternative album, I couldn't help but feel that the way in which things were done in the album were relentless and pushed to the max ...

Advantages: A new twist on some contempary classics Disadvantages: Pretty Green is dire
...album opens with an instrumental version of Coldplay's "God Put A Smile On Your Face", and on first listen it really doesn't sound like anything special, but remember with this man it is about the music, and after a few listens the omission of the lyrics are soon forgotten. Watch out Chris Martin, you and your miserable face could be out of a job!! The only negative is that I am sure it would used as backing music on Match Of The Day, or some other ... ...The Kaiser Chiefs anthem. Her version is certainly not as stomping as the original, but the chilled jazz twist reworks the song brilliantly, and Allen's vocals are as good as anything else I have heard her dom and it prevents the song being nothing more than karaoke. That was my first track from the album, but for the majority of people it was the song of summer "Stop Me" featuring little known vocalist Daniel Merriweather, replacing Morrissey at ...

==About Version==
Version was released in April 2007 and has just earned Mark the Best British Male Brit award. The album is based on reworkings of exisitng songs. It came about following the club success of the reworking of Radiohead's "Just." In his own words: "..I've taken these songs that I love and turned them into Motown/Stax 70's versions... I'm just trying to find something in it, add something to the arrangement or change a groove." ... ...vocalists. There are 14 tracks on the album.
==Track Listings and Reviews== 1 God Put A Smile Upon Your Face feat. The Daptone Horns
Originally by Coldplay. I think this is my favourite track on the album. It really grabs you and draws you into the album. It is much more upbeat than the original, though intstantly recognisable.
2 Oh My God feat. Lily Allen
Originally by The Kaiser Chiefs. One of the tracks that stands best alone on the album. ...

Quick review of Version [PA] - Mark Ronson
Great album from the musical mastermind of Mark Ronson. The crafty work is highly original and the remixes and edits of the original songs are excellent. I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys dance music and music in general! ...

Advantages: It put's a smile on your face as the opening song suggests Disadvantages: None
...is. Amy Winehouse's version of the Zuton's Valerie is outstanding. I loved the original (and still do) but as big a Zuton fan as I am I think Amy's version is just that little bit better, her voice fits the song perfectly and the womens voice is so pretty yet so dirty at the same time, she will definately go far. If you thought Valerie was good before wait until you here this version. Track 13 LSF by Kasabian featuring Kasabian is another outstanding ... ...and you can almost picture Bez dancing around on stage. Lilly Allen (who I am not the biggest fan of) sings Kaiser Cheifs 'oh my god' (again a band I am not that keen on) so you can imagine that I wasn't expecting big things from this song but I was definately proved wrong. Her voice fits this song perfectly and no one else could quite do it the same, this just proves Mark's genious when it comes to track and artist choices. This is one of my favourites ...

Advantages: Half the songs are bareable Disadvantages: the other half are awful and spoil the songs they have covered
Great mash up CD if you can enjoy listening to some of your favorite tunes but with a \'mark ronson differance\' such as the Oh My God Single - Mixed by Mark Ronson, lyrics by lily Allen (Origianlly By Kieser Chiefs) with some added vocals by Busta Ryhmes.
Excellent listen however i cant see anything spectacular, as all the dj has done is pretty much mix some tracks up, but in a tasteful manor. Could be a great present to a lover of modern day music. ...

This album has a nice tune and over all it was a nice album. On the album there are a couple of songs that I didn't really like that much but still out of 14 songs there were only 2 that I didn't really like, but the album is relaxing and enjoyable.

3. stop me featuring daniel merriweather
4. toxic featuring tiggers
5. valerie featuring amy winehouse
