From A Spark To A Flame - The Very Best of Chris de Burgh
Chris de Burgh
1989
A&M Records
Spark to A Flame is a compilation of sixteen great classic C de B tracks
providing excellent value for money. It features a good mix of raunchy rock
numbers like Don't Pay The Ferryman and High on Emotion, thought provoking
stories such as Spanish Train and A Spaceman Came Travelling, and melodic
ballads and love songs which include the hauntingly beautiful Borderline and
that timeless classic, The Lady in Red.
A couple of other songs, not so far included on any other album, show us that Chris has lost none of his magic as a songwriter. The opening track, This Waiting Heart, is sure to get those feet tapping, while Diamond in The Dark is a real gem of a love song on the
boy meets girl theme and who knows what might happen! This surely is a sparkling diamond and is well worth a listen.
This album has something to suit all tastes which makes it an ideal introduction to the versatility and uniqueness of Chris de Burgh which will make the listener want to know more.
