Best of compilation album by Paul Young consisting of 15 tracks with four tracks from No Parlez (1983), three from The Secret of Association (1985), two from Between Two Fires (1986), two from Other Voices (1990), and four previously unreleased tracks including his rather big hit as supporting vocalist on Zucchero's "Senza una donna", which was the best-faring single released from the album sitting at number #4 on the UK singles chart list. Considering his short career of eight years, and 'only' four studio albums at this point, it's a fine collection of songs, although, I miss some tracks from his second and best album - and then I just find that some tracks are lowering the standard. From a contemporary perspective, I think, I would go for one of his later best of albums: The Essential Paul Young from 2008 with 18 tracks covering another three albums, or: the 14 track album Hit Collection from 2007. There's also a 2-disc album Wherever I Lay My Hat (The Best of Paul Young), which just contains too many fillers with an abundance of 33 tracks.
The album topped the UK albums chart list as his so far third and last album reaching this position, and together with his debut it's his best-selling album.
