Customer Reviews:

original recording?????????.......2006-12-14

This is NOT the version I purchased back in the mid 80's! This is TTL SHT.

be warned--don't leave me this DISASTER..........2006-11-08

I was fooled into buying this reissue by other reviews. 23 minutes mega mix of "Don't Leave Me This Way"??? Awesome. Not quite. I was sure this was going to be a combo of the 2 11 minute plus versions on the original vinyl 12". INSTEAD, you get about 11 minutes of utter choppy editing mess with no flow of melody, which FADES completely before the original 12" version begins on the same track--but which runs about 20 seconds shorter than the full 12".

Now. The rest of the CD--how do I break this to you gently? I don't. Most of the songs have been EDITED. Goes like this:

track 1: WAS 6:26 NOW 4:51
track 3: WAS 6:13 NOW 4:13
track 5: WAS 6:50 NOW 5:22
track 6: WAS 8:00 NOW 4:30

track 12: WAS "Disenchanted" (12" version)(8:45) NOW completely removed

If you already have the original FULL LENGTH CD, the 12" vinyl single of "Don't Leave Me This Way", and "Very Best of the Communards and Jimmy Sommerville" (which has the same exact slightly shorter version of the 12" as its own free standing track), then you DO NOT WANT THIS.

OMG.......2006-10-02

This is a brilliant album, but it is worth the price just for the *23* minute "Don't Leave Me This Way" Mega Mix.

Eighties Pop at its best..........2005-08-23

If you're looking for something more than was available on the Communards "Heaven" CD, you'll be somewhat disappointed to find the best tracks on "The Communards" also appear on "Heaven," which came later. Still, "The Communards" features some wonderfully upbeat music - classic synthpop in the same vein as Frankie Goes To Hollywood or Eurythmics. Nonetheless, this CD also contains a variety of song styles that serve to showcase Jimmy Sommerville's unique voice talents. For any true devotee of the 80s, this is one of those "must have" albums.

Some of Jimmy's Best.......2003-06-13

Either you like them or you don't. Not for the faint of "falsetto" heart. For Jimmy Sommerville/Bronski Beat fans, this is a must have in your collection.

Customer Reviews:

One of Britain's best eighties pop singers.......2005-03-15

The eighties are not my favorite decade when it comes to pop music. Nevertheless, some great pop music was recorded during those years, some of it by Jimmy Somerville, who was lead singer of Bronski beat and, later, the Communards. Both of those groups are represented here but there are also some of Jimmy's solo songs, too. Jimmy's distinctive falsetto voice could not be mistaken for any other. It is worth pointing out that Jimmy was gay and this is reflected in the lyrics of many of the original songs. I'm not sure how well Jimmy's music did in America but he was, for a while, an important singer on the British scene.

Bronski beat had six UK hits but only the first four are included here. Hit that perfect beat (a top three hit) and Come on come on are missing. Two of the others also made the top three, these being Small town boy and an unlikely medley (with Marc Almond) of I feel love (Donna Summer) and Johnny remember me (John Leyton). Why made it to number six while It ain't necessarily so made the top twenty.

The Communards had a UK number one hit with Don't leave me this way, a cover of a song that had been a hit in the seventies for two different singers - Thelma Houston and Harold Melvin. Harold's version charted higher in the UK but Thelma's version went to number one in America. I enjoy all three versions but the Communards' version features not only Jimmy's excellent lead singing but also excellent vocal support by Sarah Jane Morris, a singer otherwise unknown to me.

The Communards had one other UK top five hit - another cover, this time Never can say goodbye, originally a hit for Gloria Gaynor - and one other UK top ten hit, the original song, So cold the night. Their other UK hits were You are my world, Disenchanted, Tomorrow, For a friend and There's more to love.

Jimmy had five UK hits without either group, the biggest of which was You make me feel mighty real, a top three hit. A cover of To love somebody (Bee Gees) made the UK top ten. Comment te Dire adieu (featuring June Miles Kingston) made the UK top twenty. Read my lips was a minor UK hit.

Despite the omission of one major UK hit and a couple of minor hits, this is an excellent collection of music by one of the best British pop singers of the eighties.

There's more to love than Bronski Beat.......2002-10-21

This a GREAT collection of singles. Try to find the Collector's edition because there's another 80 (!) minutes of original remixes on it... I like this release very and its on heavy rotation in my CD-player. It deserves a five star, but only if you own the double-CD version with all the remixes on it. Great stuff, enjoy it!!

Customer Reviews:

Myths never die.......2003-09-30

Could sound strange, but i was just 10 years ago when i heard this.I got really impressed and i promised myself i d keep the song "C Minor" inside forever. this mixture made of sorrow and joy takes you to listen it again one and other time.I d personally give this album an adjective:everlasting.

A Definite 80's GEM.......2001-09-19

This is a fantastic album. I'll never forget the first time I heard this. A friend of mine in high school was really into 80's New Wave and he played this to death on the radio station. I never got sick of hearing it. Very powerful vocals by Jimmy Somerville keep you listening. This album includes a great remake "Never Can Say Goodbye" and other fantastic tracks such as "There's More To Love Than Boy Meets Girl", "Tomorrow", and my favorite Jimmy Somerville composition "For A Friend" which is dedicated to a friend who lost his battle with AIDS. A great album of the 80's and not forgotten.

Landmark album.......2000-10-13

Personally, I find this to be one of those rare albums to invoke both sorrow and joy in the space of one chorus. I never make it through this one without tears coming to my eyes. Jimmy Somerville was truly blessed with his gifted voice. "Red" ... .

'Red' hot.......2000-06-26

A truly great CD. Full of pride. Jimmy Somerville's falsetto and Richard Coles great music make this one of the best things that Jimmy has ever done. 'Tomorrow' and 'There's More To Love Than Boy Meets Girl' give the listener a real feeling of Pride. Though most of the CD is filled with upbeat songs. For a friend is tender and caring, reminding everyone of how the Aids epidemic has effected us all. Over all this is a CD that belongs in every collection.

Awesome.......2000-06-22

Take a chance on this CD and you will not be disappointed. Part rock, part pop, 100% entertaining. Incredible remake of "Never Can Say Goodbye", better than the original

Three Stars Plus Nostalgia Equals:.......2001-05-23

This probably isn't actually good music, but I am shamelessly fond of it.

The 12" mix of "Don't Leave Me This Way" is one of the all-time great dance tracks.

If you were drinking at a college bar in the mid-to-late 80's, you know what I am saying. After the A-Ha, but before "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights," and sometime around "I Melt With You," this was the time/song of the evening that you were finally drunk enough to start dancing to.

The rest of this album is just fine...but who cares?

[Classic Retro].......2000-07-03

If you've ever clubbed on a retro night, I'm sure you've heard The Communards somewhere along the way... This CD is classic synth-pop with some wonderful upbeat songs, ballads, and piano laced instrumentals. Richard Cole handles the music with some classical and jazz influences, while Jimmy Sommerville belts out lyrics of love and anger in his ever present falsetto. I would've given this a five, but there are a few songs that didn't do much for me.

My favorites include: "Don't Leave Me This Way" (A Club Anthem!)/"La Dolorosa"(Ole!)/"Disenchanted"(Sometimes I miss the 80's)/"Reprise"(Mmmmm...)/"So Cold The Night."

If you collect synth-pop, or like retro music, this may be 4 U>>>

Wonderful alternative sound.......2000-03-22

It's a shame that the Communards broke up shortly after the release of their second album "Red" because they truly created a very unique sound.

Their self-titled first album is a brilliant mix of sounds from up tempo disco beat in "Don't Leave Me This Way" to a softer quiet haunting ballad of "Reprise". This album features quite a few hits including "Don't Leave Me This Way", "Disenchanted" a powerful song about love and anger, "So Cold the Night" and "You are My World". If you like Jimmy Somerville's solo stuff how can you pass up on his days with the Communards. Jimmy and Richard Cole created a marvelous album here that should not be forgotten.

Groovy.......1999-12-03

Excellent!
For those of you who are fans of the group, this is a MUST buy.
For those who aren't, this is STILL a must buy.
