Title: Very disappointing for a long time fan
Review: I've been a fan of Paul Heaton since I first heard The Housemartins in the mid 1980s, and own every full-length Beautiful South CD available. I was looking forward to see how they'd handle a cover album. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. If I hadn't received this as a gift, I would most certainly have returned it. Most of the tracks just didn't work for me. Only "Blitzkrieg Bop" found its way onto my MP3 player - compared to virtually every track of their original work. I can not in good conscience recommend this to anyone.If you're new to The Beautiful South, I'd suggest starting with "Carry On Up The Charts" to hear what a great band they truly are.
Is the review positive or negative?
