Shooting Stars Never Stop!!!
This CD is and always will be absolutely brilliant! "Welcome. . " is the ultimate art/concept rock album of the 80s. The first two tracks on this CD, "The World Is My Oyster-snatch of fury(stay)" and "Welcome To The Pleasuredome" is beyond music; it is art! These two songs send chills down your spine EVERYTIME YOU LISTEN!!! Almost 16 minutes of pure bliss! The third track is called "Relax (come fighting)" and this is the signature song of the 1980s! It rocks my world (sidenote: if anyone out there has an official XL or XXL shirt that says "Frankie Say RELAX Don't Do It", I want to buy it in a big bad way and my email address is above!!!). Tracks 4, 5 and 6 are Frankie's answer to the U. S. and the U. S. S. R. "War (and hide), "Two Tribes (for the victims of ravishment)" and "The Last Voice" are intense antiwar tunes. As a matter of fact, "War (and hide)" is a cover of Edwin Starr's classic track while tracks 5 and 6 is their brilliant statement on the possible result of The Cold War turning hot. Track 7 is their cover of Springsteens's "Born To Run" and the lads more than do it justice. Tracks 8 and 9, "Happy Hi" and "Wish (The Lads Were Here)" are just great pop tunes while track 10, "The Ballad Of 32", is a soft, intense, erotic instrumental. Tracks 11, 12 and 13, "Krisco Kisses", "Black Night White Light" and "The Only Star In Heaven" are perfect enough for a Bowie album. Track 14, "The Power Of Love", is a beautiful and moving ballad while track 15, "Bang", perfectly sums up the whole recording. I highly recommend this CD to anyone and everyone!. . . thank you.

Be very, very careful in purchasing this title!
"

However, when US production of this CD started, the CD booklet and even the silk screen printing on the disc remained the same, but the actual CONTENT of the disc was replaced by the US version of the album, which instead has a 3:27 version of "Two Tribes" and which replaces the song "Happy Hi" with "San Jose" as track 10. This edition SHOULD contain the nine minute long version of "Two Tribes" along with a track entitled "The Last Voice.

There is literally NO WAY that I know of to tell if the disc is the correct one without putting the disc in a player and playing track 10 to see if it is "San Jose" or not.

I have purchased and have had to return more than one copy of this disc for this reason; sellers CANNOT TELL if their copy is the correct one solely by looking at the CD packaging and disc itself.
