For me, It's magic, this voice, Ian is great with this record. Andy Roberts, and Ian are very very good. Perhaps, with "Valley Hi" and "Go For broke", the album wich I prefer. Sorry for my bad English. Ian is a Champion of the world and Europe, with Zidane, Petit, Barthez, Henry, Deschamps etc...

ONE OF IAN'S BEST ALBUMS, EVERY TRACK IS GREAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE AWESOME SHM AUDIO FORMAT. MUST HAVE FOR ANY CD COLLECTION, BUT DON'T PAY THESE RIDICULOUS OVER-INFLATED PRICES, I BOUGHT MINE FROM THE MUSIC SPECIALIST ON E BAY, THEY ALSO HAVE A STORE IN GEMM, ANTEATERMUSIC. SAVE YOURSELF A TON OF CASH.
CHEERS!

3.0 out of 5 stars If Tigers Will Survive, Ia(in) Matthews defintely will, August 25, 1998

Journey from Gospel Oak' has - for quite a while - been an album that was hard to get. Now that it has been released on CD, it is hard to imagine why the album was such a struggle between Matthews and his record company. The album is fine, but not too outstanding, but what came in the way was the success of Ia(i)n's Plainsong 'In Search of Amelia Earhart', giving way to all sorts of A&R and legal trouble. By the time 'Journeys From Gospel Oak' was released, Iain Matthews was in the States, looking for new grounds and new ways, leaving the album as a sort hidden piece. It's a fine offering, though, making clear that Matthews was becoming more and more interested in American music.
