Reviews Customer Reviews for Spanish Train And Other Stories IMPORT      A TRUE MASTERPIECE...      Rating:      ... long before Chris became a wedding singer (via "Lady In Red"), he put out this terrific recording where every track's a winner - a big thumbs up to the producer (Robin Geoffrey-Cable or something sounding similarly blue-blooded, if memory serves me correctly), who I can't remember presiding over any other recording after this one. Two things: 1) where's the beautiful album cover artwork featuring a train in the night; 2) when will a remastered version be available?     Customer Reviews for Spanish Train And Other Stories IMPORT Cd      My First Album      Rating:      ...actually, to clarify the title of this review, it is the first album I ever had bought for me, or to clarify further, the first album I ever asked for. Let me take you back to 1979..I was turning 13 and had first heard this album at scout camp during the summer. I was blown away by the songs...God and the Devil playing Cards, women who stripped (at 12, going on 13 it was really erotic) songs about WW1 and love and murder and spacemen. Therefore, for my birthday in the September I asked my parents for 'Spanish Train by Christy Burke!. Thankfully someone in the record shop knew what they were asking for and they arrived home with the album. I played the album so much that both my parents ended up knowing all the words of every song (and they still do!). As most other reviewers have mentioned, Chris is remembered by most people for the Lady In Red, but this is the album that will always define Chris De Burgh for me. Over the years I have probably started to dislike some of the songs, especially Spaceman (na,na,na,na,na,na chorus kinda grates at this stage), however I still have the original album. I also have it on tape and on CD, which is probably the best way of explainign how good this is.
