Now I have to go look on the shelf at my copies, (For a different reason.)

I have at least 3x copies of this 2CD set, and was thinking it was because there were track differences in different editions. I may be wrong about that,
So I'm going to have to dig them out and look.

I also agree that this version of "Fool" was a nice clean sounding one. I have it on my main playlist in the car.]]> Thu, 23 Oct 2025 19:48:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10296&PID=67429&title=chris-rea-10yrs-later#67429 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10296&PID=67340&title=chris-rea-10yrs-later#67340 Author: kaqueno

I was going to make the same suggestion to you as Ron.

I'll have to check if I have that CD in my library.

New visitor, older radio host. I'm resurrecting the post trying to locate the LP version of "Fool If You Think It's Over". Any decent ORIGINAL 1978 version? Prefer LP over 45Edit from music hell. Appreciate it. Had a request on my 70's oldies radio show the "Vinyl Hour" on LPFM here. Thanks fellow music lovers.]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2025 10:21:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10296&PID=67338&title=chris-rea-10yrs-later#67338
