Genre: Rock

2008 digitally re-mastered and expanded two CD 25th Anniversary edition of the British Pop/Soul vocalist's debut album featuring a bonus disc containing 10 tracks including remixes, B-sides and live cuts. With the release of this debut album in 1983, Paul Young was immediately hailed as an intriguing synthesis of the old and the new. Blessed with a classic Blue-Eyed Soul voice, Young pays homage to R&B tradition with respectful covers of Marvin Gaye's 'Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)' and Booker T and the MG's' 'Iron Out the Rough Spots'. 25 years on it still sounds fantastic - Paul's own songs are quirky and New Wave-influenced while his choice of covers is rather interesting. He covers Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear US Apart' and three songs by Jack Lee (of L.A.'s Power Pop band the Nerves) among them the exquisite hit single, 'Come Back and Stay'. in retrospect, No Parlez is unmistakably a product of the early '80s but Young's voice and those inescapable pop hooks remain timeless. 21 tracks. Standard jewel case pressing. Sony/BMG.
