Disco de Paul Young: “From Time to Time: The Singles Collection”

Paul Young has a soulful, haunting voice and this is a beautiful collection of his work. The CD includes a combination of songs from his "Secret of Association" and "No Parlez" albums which most people are familiar with from the mid-80's ("Everytime You Go Away," "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down"), and some previously unrecorded songs such as Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" featuring vocals from Paul Carrack (from Mike and the Mechanics, Squeeze and various solo albums). The duo collabarated on the song at the Free Nelson Mandela concert and it is truly inspiring. Additionally, "Everything Must Change," "Broken Man" and Marvin Gaye's "Wherever I Lay My Hat" are soulful, heart-felt songs that shouldn't be forgotten. The only thing that could be changed to make this album better would be dubbing out the original 80's-sounding female background singers that appear on a few of the songs---then every song would be timeless. On the other hand, they give the songs a retro feel and are a reminder of younger days! This album gets an A+ without question!

I don't know what the fanbase of Paul Young is these days, but I doubt anyone who lived through the eighties (or early nineties, for that matter) didn't hear the song "Every Time You Go Away" enough times to know the lyrics subconsciously.

The haunting melodies and smooth vocals that made Paul Young the revolutionary that he was are all gathered into this soulful collection of his greatest hits- topped off with that (perhaps somewhat pesky) aforementioned timeless #1 hit. All his songs have a quality of simple, refreshing pleasure. One listen is simply never enough to satisfy the taste of the album. You need listen after listen... and before long, I think you'll find this one in -*gasp!*- your car! Yes.. it's that addictive. From the rich sounds of drums and electricly-amped guitars right up to the soft, seamless vocals, any 80s music fan will find this a necessary addition to their collection.

There isn't a weak track on this CD... Mr Paul Young is an amazing performer... I was first introduced to the music of Mr Young in the 80's when he hit the music charts hard... And while he hasn't remained on the charts, he has continued to share his amazing soulful voice with us on great songs... This Singles Collection is a good starting point if your just getting introduced to Paul Young music... get a copy and listen to his amazing voice, you'll soon be seeking out other CDs by this great talent.

Paul Young, in my opinion, is one of the best artists of the 80's. The compilation of his hits is a classic for any Paul Young fan, or any 80's music fan. Great Album...Great Artist!

There is a staggering combination of music here that lends itself to nearly every aspect of one's life. The re-releasing of his earlier hits reminds me of my innocence in the 80's. The "new stuff" are warm, wonderful jewels that warm, inspire, and fill the soul. Mr Young has an incredible voice and can find any hole in a soul's barriers and leak into so there is not one lonely space left. This is truly wonderful music.
