At the end of a perfect day, is a collection of wonderful songs that brings me back to a time of imagination and sweet love. I received the cassett tape in 1978 as a gift from a friend, and those songs have taken me through very sad and hard times. I was able to escape to an other place and find hope when I listened to "I'm going to an island" and "Around and around". I always loved history and Chris de Burght is a great story teller. I do have a few of his later albums but my opinion is that the earlier ones are the best. I still have my casette but I am ordering a CD for my daughter for a wedding present, she grew up listening to these songs, her favorite is "In a country church yard" which is also a very pretty song. Thank you, Jonathan, for the best music present I ever received.

This is one album which can truly be called an 'album'. From the very first track, 'At the end of Perfect Day' sparkles with Chris De Burgh's innocent and beautiful song writing craftmanship. Don't bother with tedious Chris De Burgh "Best Of's" buy this album along with every other one he released before the 1980's, and enjoy a unique talent.

This album has influenced my life for the better. I have carried these songs through thick and thin.

Even though Chris has improved his voice since this early career album...and the recording is somewhat dated...it is still worth the listening. I think that is because the songs are solid and appropriate for thoughtful people.

The simplistic acoustic approach to Broken Wings coupled with the rare power of Chris' talented voice could give a rock goose-bumps.

Don't waste your money on greatest hits albums...buy his one and witness greatness.
