PROBY'S POWERHOUSE STYLE STILL APPEALS! (2008-09-29)

When it comes to the life and career of Texas-born P.J.Proby, there must be enough drama to fill any film script and then some, for the vocal maverick has lived his time to the full. As one of the Sixties bad boys of British pop culture, Proby enjoyed no fewer than eleven charting successes between 1964-69, and with just a few of them featured on this collection, the others can easily be accessed elsewhere.This overview celebrates the singer's 70th birthday in November 2008 and covers sides recorded between 1961-1972, with emphasis on his international hits (NIKI HOEKY, I CAN'T MAKE IT ALONE), neglected album tracks (MY PRAYER, MISSION BELL, ANSWER ME), rare "B" sides (JUST LIKE HIM, WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND) and a couple of previously unreleased recordings (I'M AHEAD IF I CAN QUIT WHILE I'M BEHIND and a cover of the Tom Jones hit DELILAH). There are also eight other songs claimed to be new to CD and it's true to say the mixture gives full reign to P.J.'s vocal flamboyance and ability to render emotive ballads, a few rockers and even QUANDO TORNERA in Italian.Whilst Proby's career has hit the rocky road on numerous occasions, he has never been forsaken by his fans and it's good to know he is still out there entertaining forty years later. These sides are another welcome reminder that he came, he saw and he conquered!

Excellent (2008-07-15)

Thay say all good things are worth waiting for and this certainly is. What a great collection to show the true talent of this man.To say EMI are overdue in releasing PJ's songs is an understatement so come on now how about a Volume 2 there are so many more tracks to choose from how about the fabulous "Mary in the morning" for a start... Here's hoping!!

At Last!! (2008-06-23)

At last a new CD from Mr. P.J. Proby!! Fans have waited a long time but the wait has been worthwhile! This CD proves what a truly varied and magnificent voice P.J. has as we listen to rock, ballads, blues and country. A well thought out selection of favourites plus two previously unreleased recordings. A must for everyone!! Can we have a Volume 2 please EMI?!!Janet Taylor

just wonderfull (2008-06-22)

Really wonderfull to have all these songs together they just show the superb vocal ability of P.J just great!!

what a birthday present (2008-06-22)

At last a great album released covering the best off Pj, cannot fault the contents, its great to hear "And the Sun Will Shine" havnt heard it since I left Melbourne and left the album somewhere. My only quibble is no "tips of my fingers" or " i apologise" but still it could mean a vol 2 might be out there.This is a must for all fans and a great way to get to know him if you dont.Well worth the money just listen to " give me time" and for my money the version of "deliah" would have give Tom Jones a run for his money.Buy the CD sit back and enjoy
