5.0 out of 5 stars UNIQUE POWER POP
Alvin Stardust was part of the UK glamrock wave in the seventies but never broke through to the US market. His sound is quite special though, high powered riffs, brilliant guitar work, a soulful voice and exceptionally tuneful melodic songs. He had a knack for integrating those familiar 50s rock riffs with the glam guitar sound of the 70s. Most of his greatest hits are...

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE ORIGINALS
If it is the original recordings of Alvin's great 70's material you are after, then don't buy this CD.
I had my suspicions on seeing the title that this would be so and the previous reviewer failed to mention the fact, that these are all re-recordings!
But hey, if you are a Stardust fan then you'll still enjoy this, the songs are good and bring the memories...

But hey, if you are a Stardust fan then you'll still enjoy this, the songs are good and bring the memories flooding back and if you are lucky enough to have seen the man perform live, as I did in the UK a few years back then you'll know he can still do the biz.
So again if you want originals look elsewhere, otherwise just enjoy!

Alvin Stardust was part of the UK glamrock wave in the seventies but never broke through to the US market. His sound is quite special though, high powered riffs, brilliant guitar work, a soulful voice and exceptionally tuneful melodic songs. He had a knack for integrating those familiar 50s rock riffs with the glam guitar sound of the 70s. Most of his greatest hits are included here, like the wonderful My Coo Ca Choo, Jealous Mind, Red Dress, You You You and the gorgeous Pretend with its inspirational lyrics. A bonus is the duet version of My Coo Ca Choo. This great album just goes to show that some of the best music is buried in obscurity. If you like tuneful high powered, fast paced pop-rock, you'll love the sound of Stardust.
