I actually like it
Review date: 2008-11-12 Rating: 8 out of 10
I very rarely buy cast recordings of entire shows, as there are usually only one or two songs on them that I like. So I have been waiting for a compilation album that would have on it the songs I like, and unlike other reviewers I was not dissapointed with this.

Coz it's John

I bought this coz it's John. I had high expectations after Another Side, so this let me down a bit. But it's still fun to listen to (I love the Grease songs!), and with John's voice I had to give it at least 3.
Listen to this not coz you want to be blown away, but coz it's John.
not John's doing

John Barrowman had nothing to do with this release. Nor does he receive any profits for it. This production company simply ripped the recordings John has done for his own releases or soundtracks, and even other compilation albums, and put them together to make this CD. the poor quality that some people have mentioned is because it wasn't actually recorded- quality is lost as you transfer recordings as they did to make this album.
This is not essential to any fan- buy the real stuff (not just for the quality!). And yeah, I understand the "I'm broke and can't afford to pay more than 3.98", I'm broke too... but if you pinch a few pennies and save up, you can afford to get yourself a little treat... a much better recording of John singing. (Music, Music, Music comes out in November... just in time for the holidays- don't you have a wishlist?)
Can't really blame John Barrowman for this one.

If reports are to be believed than poor John Barrowman actually had nothing to do with this album and so can't really be blame for it's quality. The only reason it gets 4 stars from me is because it is John Barrowman after all and he is a wonderful singer.
I recommend that people save their money for 'Music Music Music' which guarantees to be fabulous. However I am not going to quarrel over £3.98 if it were more expensive it certainly wouldn't be worth it for anybody other than a die-hard John Barrowman fan.
NOT REALLY ESSENTIAL

Poor cash in rehase for his recent TV exploits. This album is really for the dire fan but JB forever lets himself down by poor production and poor vocal quality. If you like what he does then this is for you but if you're just passing please pass on through. This is one greatest hits collection for a bargin bin or free with the Sunday ppaers to recycle. JB - maybe its time to re think.
