Chris de Burgh - Love Songs

Chris de Burgh - Love Songs
Album Notes
The Love Songs is the fourth compilation album by Chris de Burgh, released by A&M Records in 1997. Three new tracks are included in addition to songs found on previous albums.
Import this collection featuring 16 of the Irishman’s best romantic hits, including his top five 1987 smash “The Lady in Red”, plus “So Beautiful” & “Forevermore”. 
 
At first glance, The Love Songs Album is a smartly assembled collection of Chris de Burgh’s biggest ballads and soft rock hits, featuring such staples as “Missing You,” “Here Is Your Paradise,” “Much More Than This,” and “The Lady in Red.” Upon further inspection, the collection begins to fall apart. There are re-recordings of favorites like “If You Really Love Her” and “Separate Tables,” as well as new songs like “So Beautiful,” “It’s Me,” and “Forevermore.” A few of the new recordings work well, but the fact is, The Love Songs Album would have worked better — and would have been more valuable — if it was a straightforward compilation instead of being half retrospective, half new material.”~AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
