 Rating:  - Wayward brillianceFirst, let me say that this is a lovingly-compiled CD, complete with extensive sleeve notes and a quality sound at a low price. The notion, however, that this is a flawless collection of PJP genius is somewhat over the top. Proby was clearly a hugely talented and versatile singer, but there lies a problem. When he focused on singing in his own way, he was as good as any of his contemporaries. Scattered across this album, however, are almost parodic impersonations of other singers, often in genres he appeared to be half-heartedly dabbling in. 'Hold Me' and 'Cuttin' In' display that PJP could have been a formidable r&b singer, but he shunned this for a predominantly big ballad-oriented approach. His versions of 'My Prayer' and 'I'm ...

As one of the Sixties bad boys of British pop culture, Proby enjoyed no fewer than eleven charting successes between 1964-69, and with just a few of them featured on this collection, the others can easily be accessed elsewhere.

What a great collection to show the true talent of this man.To say EMI are overdue in releasing PJ's songs is an understatement so come on now how about a Volume 2 there are so many more tracks to choose from how about the fabulous "Mary in the morning" for a start... Here's hoping!! Rating: - At Last!!At last a new CD from Mr. P.J. Proby!! Fans have waited a long time but the wait has been worthwhile! This CD proves what a truly varied and magnificent voice P.J. has as we listen to rock, ballads, blues and country. A well thought out selection of favourites plus two previously unreleased recordings. A must for everyone!! Can we have a Volume 2 please EMI?!! Janet Taylor Rating: - just wonderfullReally wonderfull to have all these songs together they just show the superb vocal ability of P.J just great!! |
