Reviews Customer Reviews for Our Favourite Shop      This is such a terrific, cd      Rating:      This is such a terrific cd, it brings back such a cool memory of being in a taxi, in egypt, ( we were driving down the dark street). I remember this really great music and I commented about the lack of headlights, and then he told me that in egypt they don't drive with their headlights on because of the glare of the headlights. I remember thinking wow! what a trip! then I commented about the music- when I got to my destination the driver told me that I could bring him lighters and ballcaps with ship insignia, for payment ( I was in the service at the time)- I also commented on the music. He gave me his card and I called him for a ride the next day and when I gave him the ballcap, he gave me a style council cassette. I don't have the cassette anymore, and I've tried to find the cd. [...]     Customer Reviews for Our Favourite Shop Cd      This old "album" now remastered is a revelation.      Rating:      I was a college freshman when this record came out in the states, entitled "Internationalists." It was hard to put into a category back in 1985, which explained why no single from the album saw wide, if any, airplay during that Top-40 era. That explains, in part, why Our Favourite Shop remains relevant, today, both musically and lyrically. As much as I find this CD (prior version) among my favorites, many of the songs in the prior CD had annoying production elements to them, some minor and some prominent. Dennis Munday and Roger Wake did an excellent job in remastering the sound of this old album, eliminating or softening those annoying elements. They uncluttered the original sound. Weller's vocals are richer. The jazz elements are heightened. For those like me who had grown accustomed to hearing the songs in their usual way, the remastered songs in this 2000 version are simply better, now, and filled with pleasant surprises.
