[.ca] Super Hits

stay young:
i love his clean clear voice.the music is great to dance to. i loved his version of oh girl.am looking forward to buying more of his recordings

This gets old really, really fast!:
With the exception of a few good songs like "Everytime You Go Away", this CD is kind of a disappointment. The songs get really old after listening to them for a while. These are the type of songs you hear in an elevator or at the dentist's office and then think to yourself "Did I actually like these songs in the 80s?"

His covers sparkle!:
Paul covers Tom Wait's "Wherever I lay my hat" in an ecstatic fashion. This is the best of the best. "I Was in Chains" is a lilting tale of a British convict shipped to Australia; exquisite! The man's voice is warm and melodic. Grab it!

Get it for the Joy Division cover.:
"Everytime you go away" is a classic piece of 80s music that to me is sort of timeless. Joy Division fans may want to hear his version of their immortal "Love will tear us apart". Don't expect it to sound as brooding as Ian Curtis' vocals but it's still cool to hear that song covered by a pop figure. Hearing "Everytime you go..." makes me think of John Candy in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (Its the ending song).

A must for 80's music collectors:
I bought this CD mainly for one song: "Come Back and Stay". This song has a nostalgic 80's pop sound that you will enjoy and never forget. The other songs, I'm not that interested in.
