This album is a very good mix of the very best of Chris de Burghs fine music. The album incorpoates the best selection of fast and slow songs ,as you can see from the track listing. It gives very good insight to the talent and ingenuity of this great man. From the story telling DON'T PAY THE FERRYMAN to the very funny PATRICIA THE STRIPPER. What more can you ask from an album.

The only PROBLEM with this album is the fact that it was never released on CD format which is a great shame. Other than that it is one of the best compilation albums ever released. This was achieved by Telstar licencing the material from A&M.

YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR BETTER.
