I think it's also fascinating how different his voice sounds back then with a big, solid body wrapped around it.

I'm not sure why I haven't found this previously but I think it's by far the best version of It's All Gone I've come across. Just powerful. Starts art around 10:40.

Just by chance this song has come up on my ipod a couple of times recently. I love the sound and I noticed that CR seems to use a slightly unusual (for him) vocal style on this song and I wonder if anybody else had noticed it. He seems to clip the ends of words a little and seems to have added a lit...

I've had Santo Spirito Blues for a few days now and I'm sitting here well after midnight watching the DVD, Bull Fighting. It is quite mesmerising and I love the theme music. Maybe I'm a little thick or just not arty enough but I don't understand the connection (or connections) between the Bullfighti...

If it's any help I've saved this interview as an .mp3 file. Are you still looking for a disc? If so just let me know and I'll get one in the mail to you. This might sound a little strange; I've always enjoyed the Rea music but the Rea voice in interview mode I also find fascinating. It's an entertai...

I have discovered that the track I have is in fact "Missione A Bombay" by Nicola Conte. I have no idea how it was attributed to Chris Rea but I think it is a great piece of music nonetheless. It's a little like the scenario in which a version of "Lily Was Here" is attributed (in ...

I was recently given a CD that is allegedly a copy of the Japanese release version of Blue Cafe. Unfortunately I'm not convinced that it is a copy of that version as it seems to have only one bonus track (Kyoto Blue) rather than the three that I have seen referred to in various places in the past. I...

I purchased Fool If You Think It's Over - The Definitive Greatest Hits a few weeks ago and no matter how many times I attempt to listen to it I just don't get it! The songs all feel to my senses to be very stripped back. Unfortunately it seems to be the great Chris Rea sound that has been stripped. ...

It's out there somewhere Way past the sunset line Way out on the open road And me I'm always looking down Down that road out of town Each morning and night you can see me I'm singing set me free Set me free It's a big, theatrical song and that section of lyrics just does it for me. It's a song that ...

That's very good! Are you sure you're not Mr Rea incognito having a bit of fun with this forum? That would seem to fit his sense of humour! The song seems to have flashes of early eighties CR, I like it! Is there more?

Is there or has there ever been a La Passione DVD? I've listened to the music, read the stories, watched the interviews... how do I obtain the movie? Any ideas? Preferably something I can purchase online for shipment to Australia.

Thanks,

Hello everyone, I recently obtained a CD, a version of God's Great Banana Skin with a remix of the Title Track, live versions of "Just Passing Through" & "Footprints In The Snow" & finally "Winter Song". The tracks are great but I just wondered if anybody else h...
