Crowded House

For me , I will always miss Paul Hester, and I'm not saying Crowded House's last two albums were bad- but their first four had something, and a sound that is no longer there- obviously no writing credits to Paul/backing vocals which sound great- and I hadn't listened to this album in a while. I saw the deluxe edition, and must say it is a worthwhile purchase and one I would definately recommend. There are so many good songs here- it's a great album, and that's disc one- the other is has many alternative versions and others songs - including one of my favourites Recurring Dream- all in all it's a lovely item with a really good booklet and made of good quality- i really enjoyed playing these songs again

These two CD reissues of Crowded House's catalog are a great value. They include live tracks and demo's along with a comprehensive booklet for the release. Although they are too large to fit on a cd shelf, they showcase a worthy successor to Split Enz.

After Split Enz broke up, Neil Finn convened Crowded Hose, bringing along drummer Paul Hester from the final Enz line-up. In truth, Crowded House was a natural continuation of the last Enz album, 'See Ya 'Round', but losing some of the band's quirkier moments. Finn's song craft, and his great melodic gifts are given full, free rein here, and he sounds like a man set free. There's some lovely work here - 'Don't Dream It's Over' is a great place to start, but that's not alone; with songs like 'Something So Strong', the yearning 'Hole in The River' and 'I Walk Away', the latter a song that Finn had recorded on 'See Ya 'Round'This version - the Super Deluxe version - includes a disc of demos and rarities, which is nice to have, and a lavish booklet that helps give this excellent debut album .the kind of justice it deserves.

Where are the remixes? I understand it's a deluxe edition, so they had to trawl through something to come up with a second CD of content. However, there's at least 2 or 3 remixes of the main hits that still have yet to see widespread CD release. Would have been a perfect medium to include them.

A nice limited edition CD! Thanks from Tony Cole.
