My son knowing how much I like Chris Rea sent a screen shot of today's UK top 50. Chris Rea at 38 with Driving Home for Christmas

I've got mine too yesterday, but work has stopped me getting it played/watched so far. The package is full book size this time though as with Blue guitars & Hofner.. The four discs are placed inside the front cover as you open it up. Followed by 75 pages of wonderful Ferrari/Von Trapp photograph...

Of course I can.

Had my 'dispatched' email from Amazon -

The interview on radio Suffolk is on here for 28 days. Starts at 51.45 .. & Pt2 at 1.46.30 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p036cr37#play Enjoy :-) He reveals he was ill again for 8 weeks at the start of the year, he still sits every day and plays guitar or piano, music is his life, and that he i...

I hope the November date is right. I've just had this e mail from Amazon stating December ! We’re writing to let you know that the following items have been unexpectedly delayed: Chris Rea "La Passione (Bonus DVD)" Estimated arrival date: December 19 2015 One of our aims is to provide a co...

No. I don't expect it until Friday. My Amazon status is still 'pre ordered'.

Well not long to go now. I do hope I'm impressed with this package. I'm not seeing much new according to the Amazon listing, but that can be misleading. Chris wouldn't do this if it wasn't worth it. I wonder if we will get a tour ??

I thought his version of Be Bop A Lula was excellent. Nice to hear him sing something different. It was magic.

I love the cover art, it is the best tribute he can give to the driver he admired as a boy and filed his dreams, Wolfgang Von Trips, I have pre ordered but do not anticipate being blown away, lets wait and see. The first release was not one of my favourites and the film itself a bit to arty for my t...

To be fair I've enjoyed the main Hofner Blue notes Cd (Not so much the Delmonts Cd's shadows style) And the main CD in Santo Spirito, but the soundtracks didn't do it for me. Chris is a good songwriter and his chord progression and changes in songs are fabulous. Chris has the ability to allow a song...

I am beginning to think nothing is going to be released. Santo Spirito was released Sept 2011 !! It's 3 1/2 years since the last album, admittedly we had the tour last year, but to wait so long is getting frustrating. Since 2005 releases have been about every 3 yrs. So here's hoping for positive new...

Hello Ann,
I agree that the silence re La Passione remake is remarkable. I'm sure the project was due for release in February.
We shouldn't be surprised as the PR and news side of Chris Rea has never been fantastic. Without warning the official website will give about 5 days notice of a release !!

Thanks, found his artist page at Imagem http://uk.imagemmusic.com/artist-uk.html?a_id=27

Still nothing new there though.

Thanks Andrey. I think I read somewhere about his re-signing to Warner not so long back hence re issues of older albums. Jazzee was good at not just publishing his own music, but that of others like Robert and Sylvan. I also own the Brilliant Album by Sarah Randle - 'The sparrow'. Whatever happened ...
