I've got the One Fine Day release and the deluxe bundle of the 2 Cd sets in my basket now !!

Looks interesting, might have to take the plunge.

Not much I guess, but I noticed the official you tube channel have been uploading a few videos of older songs in the last few weeks. A bit of activity so perhaps leading to something this year (I say hoping)

Hi, Merry Christmas to everyone, hope you REA lly have a g REA t time. Anyway came across this, an estimation of what Chris might rceive in royalties for his favourite festive song, I love it anyway. The story says up to print about £209,000 but there is a link to a live estimation which has moved o...

Love your suggestion Bart
Some really interesting knowledge there Andrew, it's fascinating knowing there are potentially a river of songs by Chris we are yet to hear !

This is brilliant, and I'm sure there are more tapes elsewhere (or from the same source) as Chris himself has said many times he records far more songs than make it to an actual album released. Perhaps the archives will be opened up and a box set of lost recordings can be released. How about ideas f...

Thanks, he looks relaxed and well. Like the introduction 'someone everyone in the world will know...chris rea.' He even claps himself
