Rupert Holmes is an artist that is more than just a "one hit wonder" and even though in the UK he is best known for the 1980 Single "Pina Colada Song" which is actually titled "Escape" he has a back catalogue of quality songs that any singer/songwriter from the early 1970s would be envious of.This collection features tracks from Rupert's early albums such as Adventure and Partners in Crime and without doubt highlights Holmes songwriting quality which is very much in the storytelling genre, I bought the CD because although I had been familiar with some of the songs I had never bought all of the albums and wanted a collection to see if it would encourage me to collect further work which I am pleased to say it did! Rupert's albums are all still available and are well worth a listen,he's still writing and is a very succesful broadway musical writer, for more information on Ruperts work check his web site www.rupertholmes.comRead full review
I saw this on ebay on a complete whim. my dad sang in a band and this was one of the songs they sang in their cabaret act at a local restaurant so it brought back fantastic memories of being a little girl. I love buying things on ebay because you can find absolutely anything!!!! just pick a memory and relive it through ebay! the cd was in perfect condition but to be honest if i have received anything faulty i have never had a problem with changing stuff.
I've been looking for a CD of Rupert Holmes songs as I had the origonal album years ago and had lost it! I love the clever lyrics about believable situations and the catchy tunes - listening to the songs again has brought back good memories.
One of my favourite films is The Sweetest Thing with Cameron Diaz and i adore The Pina Colada song that features in this film. The soundtrack for the film is unfortunately cannot be obtained from anywhere so thought i would buy the singer's album instead. Surprisingly, it is a good album. It is easy listening and it is lovely to relax and unwind to.
I decided to but this cd because it takes me back to my younger days.I had tried to locate it in HMV but couldn't get a copy.I was thrilled to find it on ebay.I'm thoroughly enjoying listening to it & annoying my children!
