5.0 out of 5 stars Many hours of great listening., February 25, 2001
This is the first Al Stewart LP I ever heard. My cousin in Madrid had it and I listened to it on my trip to Spain in 1975. Then I bought in 1977 a used copy of it in "Cheapo Cheapo" in London, so it's all memories and many hours I spent in my adolescence hearing Stewart's difficulties with women, instead of dating them. "And it was no sense at all/ or too much sense/ that brought me to the bridge of impotence".
I think this is a classic, and songs like "News from spain", "Amsterdam", "songs out of clay" and all the others are hard to forget. This is folk, british folk at its best, and besides his voice he's different here than n his more famous songs from Year of the cat and the 80's. The sound of the cd is very good, and for once I can say it is very close to the vinyl. The lyrics are in the booklet, good move. Now, it's your turn, buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of his finest, May 29, 1999
By Robert Miller (Eastern USA) - See all my reviews
Al Stewart's fourth album Orange is similar in it's excellence to the next album Past Present & Future. He had the same crop of the finest English studio musicians including Rick Wakeman, Tim Renwick and Bruce Thomas. I'm falling is one of the most sensual, fascinating love songs ever written by any pop artist. Any fan of Rick Wakeman will appreciate News from Spain. Al even covered Bob Dylan's I Don't Believe you on this record. The songs are all personal and totally honest - This album is a classic of early 1970's British music. You can't do any better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Last of the Personal, April 11, 2000
By Quagga (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Orange is the not the easiest of albums; the most personal of all Al Stewart's work, but also the last of his truly autobiographical albums; his next phase was more experimental, more historical - and yes - more commercial.

Orange was an acquired taste - many fans saw it as a sell out (at the time), as it was so smooth and professional compared with the first three.

And smooth it is; a polished performance of well-written, intelligent lyrics with a backing from fine musicians.

Many of us, born within a year or three of Al, could (and did) relate to his angst. Almost uniquely in my experience, this album seemed to talk equally to both male and female listeners.

Finally, and this must be recorded for posterity, this is the album that spawned the 'Al Stewart Joke' on the UK folk club circuit: "Tragedy - Al Stewart has a new girlfriend. [pause] That means another album." They were only jealous!
