Editorial Reviews

Long overdue CD re-issue of Smokie's 1979 studio album The Other Side Of The Road, which hit No.17 in Germany. Includes the German hit singles 'Do To Me' (#10), 'Babe It's Up To You' (#8) and 'San Francisco Bay' (#9). 'Do To Me' also hit No.16 in Australia, proof of Smokies global appeal. Booklet contains original LP artwork, liner notes, lyrics and loads of pictures of rare European singles sleeves. 7Ts. 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Class!, June 27, 2000

This review is from: Other Side of the Road (Audio CD)

One of the best Smokie albums ever. This album was out of print for a while. I am really happy it is back in print now. One of my all time favorites. It sounds a bit different from their previous albums probably due to the fact that they wrote all songs themselves, not used Chinn-Chapman stuff (which is every bit as good or better).

5.0 out of 5 stars undeservedly unappreciated album, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Other Side of the Road (Audio CD)

I grew up listening to three albums: Queen's "A Night at the Opera", Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and this one. Not being a big fan of Smokie, I consider "Other Side of the Road" a masterpiece. It is really some sort of a mistake that the album hasn't been released in the US. If you like both classical rock and independent music, like I do, give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars We All Know Smokie UP HERE !!!, April 23, 2004

I agree with the other guy... this isn't smokie's strongest album but I'd still recommend it to anyone.

I've loved Smokie eversince I can remember... the mid 70's. Everyone around here knows Smokie. I don't know what it was. I find that a lot of people didn't know em in the big metropolitan areas. A guy I knew (back in the 90's) from Iran knew Smokie and I was shocked but of course, I didn't know much back then. Anyway, I just wanted to point out that, yes, a lot of people loved Smokie here in North America... plenty !
