CD Description
'Decade In The Sun' is the first "greatest hits" compilation from Welsh outfit Stereophonics. Featuring tracks taken from their six studio albums, five of which reached the top spot in the UK album charts, this collection showcases the band's rise from humble indie rock beginnings to the stadium filling band that they became. Highlights include the singles 'A Thousand Trees', 'Have A Nice Day' and 'Dakota' as well as the band's only 2008 single 'You're My Star'. This deluxe edition also includes a disc of b-sides, live performances and rare tracks from the bands ten year career.

Customer Reviews

Decade of Hits
This is a fantastic double CD set. All the hits and an excellent disc 2 of other songs. And the box set is rather snazzy.

The track listing shown here on Amazon and virtually everywhere else is inaccurate. The first CD of this set has exactly the same listing as the single CD of Decade In The Sun so no one is getting shortchanged. It has 20 tracks kicking off with Dakota and ending with Handbags and Gladrags - exactly the same as the single CD album.

The second disc contains a host of other great tracks.

If you're a Stereophonics and thinking about getting this double CD set, buy it.

worth paying that little bit extra
Six studio album's in the best of stereophonics decade in the sun single disc and deluxe edition may seem premature but theres enough quality spread out with their best moments on disc 1 with tracks like "Have a nice day", "Local Boy in the photograph", "Pick a part thats new" sounding fresh and uplifting as ever which is evenly balanced by the last track "Handbags and Gladrags" a lovely song made even sweeter by Kelly Jones gritty impassioned vocals.

Disc 2 on this deluxe edition of decade in the sun is a much needed added boost to disc one as it contains enough rarities, live tracks and b-sides that makes listening to the box set worth while especially the tom Jones collaberation of "Mama told me not to come",and with Jools holland "im alright (you gotto go there to come back) first time i ever saw your face", and the two tracks from the thousand tree's and from more life in a tramps vest ep's "i stopped to fill my car up carrot cake and wine" and "Bill Davey's Daughter Raymond's shop"

I felt myself that i just had enough education in not perfoming but to go out and pay that little bit extra for this deluxe box set as this has a lot more to it than the single disc best of.

Like Manic Street Preachers before them they don't make bands like these anymore.

Fabulous for fans and newcomers
This album truly highlights just how many great songs Stereophonics have released over the years. If you are a follower of the band all the fans favourites and big hits are present and are ordered perfectly so that it flows well. And any people wanting to check out Stereophonics shouldn't shy away from the album as it provides two new songs as well as all the classics. I've had this for months now and I'm still listening to it constantly (I have it on as I'm typing this). And for those of you worried that you're being shortchanged, Amazon has listed the tracks wrong, there is 20 tracks on each disk, so nothing missing from the one disc version. Great for the £15 I paid, so at £10 it's a steal!
