    Excellent pressing, an audio delight. Great separation, depth and the mix is perfect. I’m only familiar with the title track but it’s been a pleasure listening to this for the first time.

        Exceptional original recording, beautiful mastering on this vinyl. Very three dimensional soundstage, well separated instruments and brilliant texture to the vocals. Brings out the best in a system. Well worth a listen if you get the chance.

          I think the vinyl sounds well pressed with dynamic and alive sound, and I think all songs are great on the album! Now my only consern is how to clean a 32 year old record, in a cost effektive way, to get the background noise hopefully lower and without damaging the vinyl...

            This album opens with the sound of flowing water and with some traffic messages. The dutch message you hear is that one from the voice of Marc Pinte, a well-known radio presenter here in Belgium who worked at that time for Studio Brussel and with the coming of Radio Donna, in 1992, he switched to Donna where you still can hear him today.

            One day he was asked by his - in that time - net manager (Jan Houtekiet) to speak in a traffic message. "Verkeersinformatie. Op de E40 Brussel-Leuven is er net voor de afrit in Berchtem een ongeval gebeurd ..."
            Nothing specials, he thought, because speaking in a traffic message beforehand was done often. But when he, a few months later, was asked again by Houtekiet to listen to a tape, he established that his voice was used for this forthcoming album by Chris Rea.

            Marc Pinte told this story himself in 1993 in "De Drie Wijzen".
