5.0 out of 5 stars Bronski's version even better
Those who want to hear Jimmy Somerville's vocal might be disappointed, but I think Steve Bronski's vocal on this acousitic version of the song (which he wrote) is more powerful. I recommend the overlooked Rainbow Nation album as well...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Bronski Beat Jimmy Sommerville
As a fan of eighties music, I was shocked to find Bronski Beat single cd, Smalltown Boy '94. I was equally shocked that it was a disappointing cd as well. Yearning once again to hear the distinct voice of Jimmy Sommerville of Bronski Beat fame, he was nowhere to be heard. Steve Bronski is lead vocal. I was expecting to travel back in time, remembering the days of my...

5.0 out of 5 stars SMALL TOWN, EXIT HERE, April 3, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Smalltown Boy '94 (Audio CD)
If you grew up different and shunned in small town America, you may find Smalltown Boy leads you to an emotional place. A beautiful single which captures the pain of leaving home and the promise of new beginnings. Gay vibe and band which speaks to all orientations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the Jimmy Somerville I expected., May 16, 2004

This review is from: Smalltown Boy 94 (Audio CD)
As a long time fan of Jimmy Somerville of the Bronski Beat fame of the eighties, it was a long awaited disappointing cd. The cd claims Bronski Beat, but doesn't live up to the title because Jimmy Somerville is Bronski Beat. The lead vocals in this cd is Steve Bronski, and Jimmy Somerville is nowhere to be found! I yearned once again to hear Smalltown Boy by Somerville expecting the cd had different versions of the song but an immitation. Very disappointing.
