Customer Reviews
Songwriter extraordinaire... the proof is all here.
I'd just like to add, to the sentiments of the other reviewers here, that Nik Kershaw is simply an amazing songwriter. If you know anything at all about writing music, you will know that it takes a special talent to write pieces as complex as Bogart, Drum Talk and Don Quixote, and make them gel so convincingly. He does simpler stuff brilliantly too - as the big singles attest (and did you know he wrote number one single 'The One And Only' for Chesney Hawkes?) - but overall Nik knocks spots off the pap that Guy Chambers churns out for Robbie Williams, for example. This collection is a good record of his craft and talent, so put it in the player and appreciate an underrated master at work.
Don't let the price tag put you off!!
Like the rest of these reviews, I will say that this album reflects the difference of song writing and music production from the 80's, from the efforts of what we are subjected to today. For the price of a large McDonalds meal you can get your teeth into something alot more fulfilling by getting this Nik Kershaw album! Even if you don't recognise a certain track on the album, you will find yourself listening through instead of skipping to one of his more popular numbers.
I LOVE 80's MUSIC! This album is a bargain!!!!
Brilliant
I forgot all about Mr Kershaw until I saw this cd, bought it, took it home and it hasn't been out of my cd player since, fantastic
