Love On.

Evry clouds got a silver...... loinin.

Great stuff.

I like Lamplight, Rock On (great bass line), Stardust, Like A Rolling Stone and America.

I wouldn't have admitted it in the 70's though......

David.

Ha ha picked it up my self a while back , can it be classed as a guilty pleasure? also picked up Leo Sayers The River Sessions , boy can he sing [live] going back to David Essex , it has to be said that I tend to think that most of the teeny bop guys that little girls went crazy over Osmonds ,Take That ,the list is endless , most are pug ugly ! but I have to say that of all this type of act the two Davids ,Cassidy and Essex were the exception !

And why not..

Is 'Oh what a circus' on it?

At least he played 'Che' in 'Evita'

I am always sad that the 'phantom' was never played by Harley..

still,

'lamplight' is most curious and joyful 'ditty'

Didn't Steve Harley do the stage version for a while ?

Andy...

I don't think so.

I'm quite fond of Bye Bye Baby by the Bay City Rollers.

Like 'On & On' from him. I think The Longpigs, whose biggest hit was in fact the same very title, nicked the wah wah guitar effect for their song 'Miss Believer' off the criminally underrated and overlooked Mobile Home album. Also enjoy 'Gonna make you a star' and 'For Emily'. Some of his work is utter shite, mind, but he's got a few in his arsenal.

All the fun of the Fair was a pretty good album !I loved the track Here it comes again ,some great musicians on it too .

For giving Adam Faith's dog LSD in Stardust - I was a distraught 10 year old! Luckily tho', there was many a Bowie pic on the back of the Essex ones in the early 70s - all easily turned around.

Oh What A Circus is indeed on this collection BillB.
Always had a soft spot for Myfanwy too. Rock On is quite cool.

Just spotted it today and thought, "fook it". Had a bath and banged it on
Great pop. No more no less.
ANd yes, Leo Sayer has a fine hits collection out too.
I love the freedom music gives ya, to experience difficult but rewarding works, but also some light relief to be had from a simple tune !!
"I`ve A Dream, Silver Dream Machine" Thanx David

Love On.
Craig

I always like David Essex (or at least his first two albums), but I must admit to having a current guilty pleasure, The Script - The Script



Yeah, I know it's music for lovelorn teenagers, but I like it.

My fave Essex track has allways been Rock On or Make You A Star,i vaguely remember watching Stardust on BBC years back,was he the guy in charge of the Bumpers?
That Script album is great nib lets hope they keep it going.

Thank-You Tony I really enjoyed him and hasn't he Aged well still

vaguely remember watching Stardust on BBC years back,was he the guy in charge of the Bumpers?

No, he worked in the fairground in That'll Be The Day. Stardust was the sequel where he'd become a rock superstar and was living in a castle in Spain.

I thought you might like The Script, Chris.
