Very Best of Chris Rea
I was introduced to Chris Rea by a friend with "The Road to Hell" cassette (no cds back then)..probably around 1995..loved "Texas" and couldn't figure out why others hadn't discovered Mr. Rea. I forgot about that music over the years, but the other night while watching the intro to a new tv series, I could've sworn the song had Chris Rea singing. Afterwards, I watched the credits to no avail, went onto the Amazon site and did some searching around; ordered "Road to Hell" cd. When i received the cd, i listened to it intently and decided i needed more of his music. I ordered the Very Best of Chris Rea from Amazon...and I've had it about 2 weeks. I fall more in love with it the more I listen to it. Do yourself a favor and buy it for yourself. Heck, buy it for any of your relatives or friends who you owe a present to. This is music for the ages and you shouldn't pass it by. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to be able to recommend a superior cd or movie to someone. Enjoy!

Chris Rea
The cd arrived in perfect condition and quickly. As far as the quality of the cd I don’t know because it’s a gift and haven’t heard back from my relative if they like it or not.

Not Quite the "Very Best"
I love Chris Rea and consider him one of the finest guitarists ever. That having been said, this album disappointed me in one way: "Fool If You Think It's Over" was not the original release, and I personally think the newer version is inferior. Four Stars.

The Very Best
If you like Chris Rea this album is a must have. I had a couple of his CDs back in the 90s. But recently got some mid to high end audio equipment. Got this record for my turntable. Wow. The pressing is top notch and the record sounds great. Only wish "Texas" was on this. I recommend this recording for vinyl lovers.
