5.0 out of 5 stars A classic album, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

You know what its like someone asks for a loan of your favourite tape and you never see it again. devastation or what! Having hunted for a CD version of Dean Freidman it was a pure delight to come upon a version in Europa Music in Stirling. We played the CD in the car on the way home and it was amazing, all the lyrics came flooding back and we sang along too all the tracks as if we had been playing them constantly for the last 10 years. It is extremely hard to choose a favourite track but mine has to be Lucky Stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my God! They have heard of Dean Friedman!, February 3, 1999

I just have to, I have to, give this album the full five stars, if only for the greatest song about sexual perversion ever written: S&M. I heard him playing it on the radio late one night and have derived endless pleasure from this CD ever since. Who else in the world could get away with the lyric: 'I keep stumbling around as if/I'm stumbling off a cliff'. Fantastic - long live Dean Friedman, the master of kitsch. (Do Americans know what 'kitsch' means? It's a good thing)

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, funny, whimsical, thoughtful, February 3, 1999

I first heard this album as a graduate student (Deli song - "Where you from? Madison, Wisconsin")and immediately ran out to find it. I couldn't find it then, but taped it off a radio station that broadcast albums in their entirety, complete with DJ comments, and have carried it around for twenty years, always checking record stores in the faint hope of finding it. I was so happy to find it re-released on CD. The songs run the gamut of sad, happy, funny, whistful, and thoughtful, but all extremely enjoyable. Buy the CD while its still available. You'll listen to it often, for at least the next twenty years.
