Recommendations
Reviews
- My version has a matrix runabout to match variant two as listed, but the label on the record does not have WX52 under 925 447-1 at the base. Embossed sleeve as described. Bought new in the UK
- Found this in Sound It Out, Teesside for under a tenner. Ozzy lass at work recommended it to me, said it was a family favourite. It's easy to listen to, fun, happy record. Not much you can dislike about it I can see its appeal. Different from my usual tastes but can see me revisiting it again and again.
- Could be the best pop album ever made- 7 top-quality songs included in this album; better overall than Thriller and Bad if you ask me.
Best songs on the album;
Boy in the Bubble
Graceland
I Know What I Know
Diamonds on the Souls of her Shoes
Crazy Love vol. II
You Can Call Me Al
Gumboots
Everything else ranges from garbage to OK
