Never easy to get a comp right for an artist with such a big and consistent catalogue.

Great to see Windy Town finally get on a compilation, but two versions of On the beach seems pretty pointless and how You can go your own way keeps making these releases is beyond me.

Coming so soon after the rhino two disc set is a bit strange too.

Not for fans and not the best option for those looking for an intro either methinks

Always wary with Chris Rea comps, most (all?) include a rerecording of "Fool If You Think It's Over."

My thoughts exactly. Does he have an issue with the original recording?

Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? (incl. "Fool...") was issued on CD by Warner/Pickwick in the UK. Used copies start at fairly reasonable prices on Amazon.UK.
