If you are a fan of the Bronski Beat music of the 80's - then DO NOT buy this CD. Stick to "Age of Consent", "Hundreds and Thousands" and "Truthdare Doubledare". One of my all time favore BB sonfs was the 1986 extended dance version of "Hit That Perfect Beat". THe version on this CD is awful - the vocals sounds like a bad drag queen, the beat is slower than the original and even some of the lyrics have been changed (and not for the better). Save your money - don't buy this CD.

let me be honest: this CD is embarrassing. Jonathan Hellyner on vocals sounds like a drag-queen CHER. Ian Donaldson handles the sequencing and Steve Bronksi, the only member of BB to have remained over the years, is on keys. The recycled Age of Concent tracks are a joke, and the cover of "I Love the Night Life" is EXTREMELY weak compared to other disco covers the band did in the past. I was working at a record shop when the singles from EU came to us, and we QUICKLY put them into the bargain bins after hearing them (all the while, Age of Concent was still a decent CD and still in the regular racks). this CD is,for all intents and purposes, horrid.

since Amazon.com doesnt carry Bronski Beat's album Truthdare Doubledare, this and Age Of Consent will have to do. i have been trying to get truth on cd but all i have it on is record. it is really good. i personally think John Jon is a great singer..he is just as good as Jimmy Sommerville. my fav songs on truth/dare are Hit That Perfect Beat, C'mon C'mon, We Know How It Feels, Do It, and Dr. John. for now i am going to pick up this cd..and teh age of consent is excellent by the way.

Much better than Truth/dare.Give this cd a try You will not be disappointed, Great 2 Clean your house or apartment with? (GIRLS GET YOUR MOPS,BROOMS,VACS+RAGS,WE ARE GONNA CLEAN!)
