This record really takes me back to that early 80s sound with a cross between the MTV generation and blue-eyed soul. Not a bad song on this record.

Yes, very happy with my order. I had the original years ago and really enjoy having it again.

this CD is NOT the same as the original record version. The songs are the same name, but quite different otherwise.
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2004
I own the original CD, not the import listed here. Many many years after its original release, it's still one of favorite albums of all time. Paul Young's soulful voice and these engrossing songs make for a full-on winner. Paul's later albums all contain gems, but are uneven at best. This is Paul Young at his finest and his finest is better than most anyone else's!

Paul Young at his best.
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2008
The initial CD version of No Parlez included only longer versions of the hit singles alongside a few other songs. The album versions from the album were, however, nowhere to be found. In the liner notes of this re-release Paul Young describes those versions as being wearing; not an understatement. According to Paul, the album version was always the true version and finally one can listen to it on CD a quarter of a century later.
It took me not a whole lot longer than zero seconds to realize that something was wrong. The starting crushing interplay of bass & drums on Come Back and Stay is nowhere to be heard, the songs simply "starts". When I heard that the middle section where Paul sings "Since You've Been Gone...." is truncated did I realize that this is the single version being used, NOT the original album version. Things get worse: Love Will Tear Us Apart is presented here without the intro on the original album, again it simply "starts". Similar story with Love of the Common People, the long intro on the album has been shortened, similar as to the single version although I am not sure whether its identical, it is a bit longer than the version on his Time compilation. I think/hope I have spotted all the faults.
The production at the time was revolutionary; Lauri Latham (later worked with Echo & the Bunnymen, Squeeze and The Stranglers) came with a distinctive glossy and crisp sound. Although it became soon dated, it sounds today very fresh. The re-mastering is good, it is as if the tapes were cleaned with the separation much clearer. The music has also aged well, Paul Young's voice still gives me goose bumps. A bonus CD is included with the boring 12 inch versions but an interesting version of Tears For Fears' Pale Shelter and 2 great live recordings.
In whole, a major disappointment due to shortened versions, and simply baffling since it is stated that this IS the original album. I thus give it only three stars, which may be generous. Any comments, especially from someone responsible for this re-release would be welcomed.

Reviewed in France on May 13, 2021
Come back and stay, sur ma platine, c'est trop bien, la basse fretless slappée de Pino Paladino envahit l'espace, on retrouve bien le grain de la musicman, c'est monstrueux, c'est un disque que j'ai eu à sa sortie, quand j'ai switché sur la version cd je n' aimais pas le scratch ajouté pour faire ambiance boîte de nuit , je suis très content de retrouver la version de base.
C'est sympa d' avoir fait une couleur flashy comme la pochette. La voix de Paul et des deux choristes est bien restituée, la batterie électronique et les synthés sont has been, mais c'est pas grave, car les morceaux sont excellents de mon point de vue, cela se sent à l' image des photos qu'il y a eu de bons moments de deconnade , à noter aussi deux morceaux avec du trombone et ça c'est super, les solis sont de très haut niveau.
À avoir dans sa discothèque c'est du très bon Paul Young.

Che dire...forse in assoluto il migliore album di Paul Young , da prendere a scatola chiusa, poi essendo in versione doppio cd ancora meglio...da avere assolutamente per chi come me ama tal cd.
