It is a 4 CD and 1 Blu-Ray set in a book format. Arrived today more than a week before expected, so very pleased.


Result!  Weird that they have two identical products with two very different pricings, then....

Sad news, he had been ill for a while. I have a 'best of' compilation of his, called 'New Light Through Old Windows', which was a collection of his hits re-recorded. I enjoy listening to it on occasions. I have to admit, though, that I'm not a big fan of his Christmas song.

Sad to read the passing of Chris Rea. Upon hearing the news, my mind took me back to the only time I saw Chris perform. It was during the On the Beach tour, occupying the drum throne was Dave Mattacks and the keyboards, Max Middleton. This gig at Sheffield City Hall is certainly one of my gig highlights.


The only time I saw him was supporting Clapton in 85. Looking on setlist.fm he played quite a long set and even an encore which is fairly unusual for the support. From the setlist I think the only song I might have recognised was Stainsby Girls.

I'm putting together a mix for next week's radio show and remembered that Megson recorded Road to Hell on a covers album they did during lockdown.

Very sad, so many great songs and always true to himself.

Newsflash came up on my phone and seconds later my iPod Christmas playlist started up Driving Home for Christmas. Uncanny.

We were talking about Chris Rea only yesterday. We saw him about 10 years ago and he sang “that song” even though it was October (poss early November).

This is my favourite of his songs and possibly my favourite summer record. RIP Chris

I think Tasha is right - it was never the Blu-Ray set that was reduced, 'just' the CD-set (which is back up to £39.99 now).  Isn't that correct?


 thats what I think yes!

Henry Parker & Katie Spencer in Hull Saturday 20th Dec
Very good night , Henry did a cover of an old song that Shirley Collins's  first husband wrote , whilst Katie did a brand new song , both were really, really good
Henry is such a talented acoustic guitar player , even "Leeds Polka" went down OK , in deepest Hull , brave song choice
