Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The best of Demon's David Essex reissues.......2004-02-29

Demon has released David Essex's six CBS/Columbia albums in three separate sets. This package, which features his third and final albums for the company, is the best of the bunch, capturing two great discs and a fantastic bonus track. Plus the packaging is first rate, with a 12-page booklet and outstanding sound quality.

"All the Fun of the Fair" (1975) is a terrifically consistent disc, loosely based around a carnival theme. The title song is one of Essex's most atmospheric pieces, capturing the seedy glamor of a British funfair, complete with rollercoaster sound effects and a decidedly theatrical vocal. Some of Essex's most FM-rock-oriented tunes are found here, including the guitar-heavy "Circles," "Rolling Stone," "Won't Get Burned Again" and "Watch Out (Carolina)." Surprisingly, the huge hit to emerge from this disc was the U.K. No. 1 "Hold Me Close," a lightweight singalong which finds David in full Paul McCartney silly-love-song mode. Still, it's a charmer.
