 Rating:  - Dreadful...Despite this being a Number One album, the three massive hits Paul Young accumulated during 1983 - together with his fabulously rich and powerful voice and 'sexy' appeal, this album was simply dreadful... No album in my opinion should really exceed 45 minutes in length, but as songs over the years for some reason have got longer, many albums exceed this three quarters of an hour, but when they get to an hour or more, unless the material is exceptionally good, then it all gets a little boring... Needless to say, this album is well over an hour and includes no less than five extended mixes. I've never been impressed by 12" versions put on albums - after all, if people are into these various and extended mixes, ...

Everything gets a fair listen these days (except Nickleback), and this is great. Am i listening to the version that all you long time fans seem to dislike/hate, or is this the 'good' one ?, can anybody tell me please. Either way ,I'm most impressed, it's all about the voice isn't it, 5 stars all the time,so beautiful and soulful.However,i see no 5 star reviews of the album,and thats not without good reason,there are a couple of moments where the music meanders aimlessly...i'm not trying to be ironic, but 7 1/2 minutes of 'Iron Out The Rough Spots',is a perfect point in case. 'Broken Man',follows, and all is forgiven.wonderful. I'm so glad i finally discovered ...

When CD came onto the market, I taped my LP collection and ditched my records and record deck through lack of space. Now, years later, I was keen to re-buy the album on CD. This version is awful though. Every track (I think) is a kind of disco mix of the original with lots of digital drums and 'scratching' thrown in. Utter rubbish. One of the tabloid papers was recently giving copies of this CD away, so I got one of those........and it's exactly the same!! Have Sony/BMG somehow lost the original masters or something? It seems it is not possible to buy a CD copy of the original vinyl release. I'm going to get myself a vinyl copy on Amazon or at a ... Read More: Rating: - warning, NOT the original album versionThe initial CD version of No Parlez included only longer versions of the hit singles alongside a few other songs. The album versions from the album were, however, nowhere to be found. In the liner notes of this re-release Paul Young describes those versions as being wearing; not an understatement. According to Paul, the album version was always the true version and finally one can listen to it on CD a quarter of a century later. It took me not a whole lot longer than zero seconds to realize that something was wrong. The starting crushing interplay of bass & drums on Come Back and Stay is nowhere to be heard, the songs simply "starts". When I heard that the middle section where Paul sings "Since You've Been Gone...." is ... Read More: |
