Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: PERFECTLY CRAFTED POP MUSIC!!!!! Comment: This record is an absolute gem, and a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves pop music. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard the wonderful strains of Marshall Crenshaw's marvellously crafted music. I became a fan that day, and I've been one ever since. Every song is great and I can honestly say that I never get tired of listening to the wonderful tunes on this recording. Customer Rating: Summary: The start of a long relationship..... Comment: This album was my intro to the amazing Mr. Crenshaw and I've been a fan for 26 years now. Very upbeat tempo pop rock that gets you singing along and tapping your feet. A great start to a long and distinguished career. Customer Rating: Summary: Marshall at His Absolute Best Comment: I've had the original LP of this album for years, but just recently got reconnected with it after buying the CD. One of those rare albums where every single song is fantastic and many are incredible. Several hits came out of this. A must have for any music lover. Customer Rating: Summary: Marshall Crenshaw CD Review Comment: This is a great CD - it brings back memories of simpler times and of songs with simple and innocent lyrics - "Someday, Someway" and "Cynical Girl" are my two favorite songs on the CD Customer Rating: Summary: Should get 10 stars! Comment: This album is almost 25 years old, and it still sounds fresh. They don't make 'em like this anymore. This is straight ahead, pure, no b.s. rock and roll. In a perfect world, any of the 12 songs from the original debut could've been a number one hit. Mr. Crenshaw makes it look so easy, but writing simple, catchy songs is still a difficult thing to do. These songs will stay in your head FOREVER. My favorites are "There She Goes Again", "Girls...", "Rockin' Around in NYC", "Cynical Girl", "Mary Anne", and "Brand New Lover". Plus, Rhino makes it even better with 10 demos/b-sides/live tracks. Yes... 10. "Brand New Lover" shows up in a different form as a hidden track, buried after "I've Been Good to You". The demo of "Whenever You're on My Mind" beats the version on 'Field Day'. "Starlit Summer Sky", another demo, is just flat out romantic. Again, he makes it look soooo easy. The b-sides "You're My Favorite Waste of Time" and "Somebody Like You" could've fit on the original debut easily. Perfect pop. The live stuff is good, my faves are "Rave On" (and if that doesn't cement the comparisons between Marshall Crenshaw and Buddy Holly, nothing will) and "Stop Her on Sight." All in all a great deluxe edition job. Nothing is out of place. So, if you truly love rock and roll, not rock (there is a difference), get this NOW. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: One of the best releases of the '80s (by one of the most consistent album artists in rock since that time), Marshall Crenshaw is a jukebox of catchy riffs, hooky choruses, and beatific harmonies from Detroit-reared singer-guitarist Crenshaw and his trio. This is a classic driving album, beach album, doing-housework album--you could pay your taxes to it and still bop along joyously. From the jangly opener "There She Goes Again" to the sparkling pop of "Someday Someway" and "Mary Anne" to the lyrically compelling rockers like "Cynical Girl" and "The Usual Thing," Crenshaw and producer Richard Gottehrer (Go-Go's, Blondie) conjure up a timeless pop sheen that highlights the band's neo-retro hooks with exotica-like glockenspiel. The production adds the odd touch of magic to this classic, from a purposeful young songwriter-singer-guitarist busting out of the gate at the top of his game. --Don Harrison
