Customer Reviews:

Can't rave enough about it!!.......2006-11-03

If you're someone who appreciates quality song-writing and performance, this album is for you. Don't be fooled, though. This is not of the 'Sunday Papers' or 'Is She Really Going Out' Joe Jackson fare. Nor is it 'Pack Rat' styled crooning.

This album features a full orchestra, a deft variety of genre, a big room, and mostly one-takes. I'd suggest low lighting, high volume, and a really good wine......and several listenings!

great follow up to night and day.......2006-09-14

i've always liked joe jackson .during the early eighties he always was able to surprise me with his releases this was a remarkable album with so much to offer the hits YOU CAN'T GET WHAT YOU WANT, BE MY NUMBER TWO,as well as great tracks like THE VEDICT and the beautiful NOT HERE NOT NOW.a beautiful album well worth it.

Watch out for sound problems with this German manufactured reissue.......2006-08-25

After discovering that Body and Soul had finally been remastered and reissued in what seemed to take a millenum, I eagerly placed my order and waited for the prized disc to arrive. However, to my dismay I discovered that this German manufactured reissue is riddled with pops, clicks, and general distortion. (this is quite apparent in the few opening seconds of "Not Here, Not Now")

Initially assuming it was a player issue, I proceeded to play in the disc in three other units and heard the same problems. (My original disc of this title from 1984 does not have these audio problems)

Convinced I simply had a defective disc, I requested a replacement which was received the next day! (Thanks Amazon) Unfortuntely, the replacement disc had exactly the same playback problems confirming that it was a manufacturing problem that affected the entire run (or at least a large portion) of this title.

This is simply one of the cleanest and most dynamically recorded albums of the era and all the problems appear to be associated with the German manufacturer who produced this disc.

I would suggest waiting for A&M (Universal) to sort out this issue before sacrificing your $10!

Just so good.... that even a dark & vacant heart will skip a beat, perhaps. I keep returning to the album as a dog returns to his vomit.

Excellent!.......2005-09-09

This is my favorite of all of Joe Jackson's releases and that's saying quite a bit as most of his releases are quality music. The musicianship on this album is outstanding. Joe really went all the way on this one and it proved successful with his fans.
