The Best of Chris Rea: New Light Through Old Windows

This is an ingenious greatest hits album where the songs are reworked. Most of the tracks are either every bit as good as the original recording or, in the case of "On The Beach" & especially the closing track "Steel River", are even better.Highlights for me are "Working On It", "Candles" & the aforementioned excellent closing track

Picked this album up on vinyl in a charity shop for £1 - probably one of the best quids I've ever spent! Every track from the well known to the lesser known make the album a complete pleasure to listen to. There isn't a single bad song in sight - and it has to be said that Rea's music sounds fantastic on vinyl. This is Chris Rea at his finest and I see you can pick this up on CD for a mere 1p plus postage - If you don't have it (or the later "Best Of" album) - grab yourself a bargain, this is a real diamond of an album.

A brilliant album

Great

I bought this on cassette many years ago and always loved it. I am delighted to now own it on CD, thanks to Amazon.

Very pleased with the service and condition of the the CD . I would recommend this dealer and will use them again

Had this on cassette during my teenage years, subsequently lost in later life.. I’ve always liked Chris’s music and when I was browsing through amazon I had a great idea 💡 and ordered the album. It’s now happy settled into my CD slot in my car enjoying being played at high volume wherever I go....

I am rediscovering Chris Rea & reaffirming what a very good song writer & musician he really is. The best of Chris Rea is a very good way to do this, or to have an introduction to this man's music. Excellent, the 5 stars are well deserved!!!
