Here's the pre-order link for the albums at the official Rhino Shop (in German...). Looks pretty interesting - although I'm missing Urban Samurai on the Auberge Deluxe (ok, I know that it was released during the Water Sign era).
Hi :) , Chris Rea will receive the prestigious STEIGER AWARD 2018 in the category MUSIC INTERNATIONAL. This prize was created by private initiative and is based on the virtues of the miner.

Other songs I'd like to hear are: Bombollini, Seabird, Set me free, All summer long. Auberge - I think that this so...
