Customer Reviews

Belting songs you can't stop singing
Listen to this album the first time and have a cry over your ex boyfriend/girlfriend, then just listen to it over and over again. A real heartbreak album but the songs are fantastic and so is Elkie's voice. Just try and not sing along with her.

Severely under-rated - do yourself a favour and listen to her
You would think that songs from the 1970s would sound a little dated by now; but then you wouldn't be talking about Elkie Brooks' Pearls, the CD that gave me a heads up 30 years ago and which recently made me rediscover her on CD (now that I had nothing on which to play my original vinyl copy).

Her gravelly voice goes so well with the words, which will get you sobbing into your glass of Beaujolais if you are in the least bit emotional.

If you don't know of Elkie Brooks' music then this is the CD to buy first.

A real winner
I have three copies of this now, one on the plastic when it first came out and 2 recently purchased discs, one in the house and the other in the car changer.
This is a great disc if you are an Elkie brooks fan or not including some of her best known hits and those songs you know you like but only hear now and then. Great for just background listening or while driving.
