1996-CAMDEN
Produced By FAIRGROUND ATTRACTION & KEVIN MOLONEY
1. Perfect
2. Find My Love
3. Fairground Attraction
4. A Smile In A Whisper
5. Clare
6. Walkin’ After Midnight
7. Do You Want To Know A Secret?
8. Allelujah
9. The Moon Is Mine
10. Watching The Party
11. Winter Rose
12. The Wind Knows My Name
13. Jock O’Hazeldean
14. Comedy Waltz
15. You Send Me
16. Ay Fond Kiss
Not to be confused with Fairport Convention. This British band came together in 1987, had a huge hit with “Perfect”, released one hit album, then broke up in a cloud of fighting while recording a second album in 1990, never to be heard from again. This collection contains nine of the twelve tracks from their album The First Of A Million Kisses, with the rest being either from their posthumous release Ay Fond Kiss or B sides. Their short career is very highly regarded, and singer Eddi Reader has gone on to solo success.
At first, it’s hard to see what the fuss was all about. Fairground’s brand of British swing and skiffle takes some getting used to, but once you get it, you’ll find that most of what’s here is pretty damn beautiful. Reader possesses a sweet, powerful voice, and the material suits her well. This is not going to rock you, but songs like “Perfect”, a nice cover of The Beatles’ “Do You Want To Know A Secret”, and the lovely “Jock O’Hazeldean” work nicely. Reader is a great singer, and this may be the best way to hear her. This album has grown on me over the years a lot…which is why I never throw anything away. [First added to this chart: 10/19/2025]

2000-VIRGIN
Various Producers
1. Shitbag 9
2. Bring Your Lovin' Back Here
3. Emergency Surgery
4. Hit On The Head
5. Flavors
6. 78 Stone Shuffle
7. We Haven't Turned Around (X-Ray)
8. Buena Vista
9. Shitbag
10. Steve McCroski
11. Wharf Me
12. High On Liquid Skin
13. Rosemary
14. The Cowboy Song
15. Getting Better
Odd that after only two albums, Gomez would already be releasing a collection of outtakes. So, while much of this collection is pretty unnecessary, there are moments...in particular, the song that first turned me on to Gomez ...the excellent "Buena Vista". The track is obviously the centerpiece here, and it's nine minutes of why Gomez is an awesome band.
There are other gems here as well, but about half of this could have stayed unreleased and no one (except for their hard core fans) would have known any better. The version of The Beatles' "Getting Better:" is nice, and there are alternate versions of better known tracks. Basically, this is an album of bonus tracks.
On the plus side, it came with the very early Machismo EP as a second disc, which is excellent. [First added to this chart: 03/26/2025]

1985-ELEKTRA
VARIOUS PRODUCERS
1. Just What I Needed
2. Since You're Gone
3. You Might Think
4. Good Times Roll
5. Touch And Go
6. Drive
7. Tonight She Comes
8. My Best Friend's Girl
9. Heartbeat City
10. Let's Go
11. I'm Not The One
12. Magic
13. Shake It Up
By 1985, The Cars were finished. They had just one horrible album left in them, and they were done. But they were a great singles band from 1978 through 1984.This does the job as far as the big hits are concerned, but the later release of Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology does a much better job. The songs here are all great, but they are placed in random order rather than chronological, and there could be more worthy tracks that just aren't here. "Tonight She Comes" was previously unreleased,and the rest are from the band's first 5 albums. No liner notes and skimpiness make this only okay.
The Cars were a great band for their period. They wrote great songs, and their recordings were expertly done. They were even successful on MTV, despite the goofiness of Ric Ocasek. The recent reunion with Todd Rundgren, though tempting, is not somewhere I really want to go. The Cars should be remembered for what they did in the 70's and 80's. I can't imagine that songs like "Drive" and "Heartbeat City" sound as good played today as they did with the original band. [First added to this chart: 10/12/2024]
