Singing legend Paul Young is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his number 1 smash hit album, No Parlez and to mark the occasion Beauty and the Dirt has 10 copies to giveaway.
With the release of this debut album in 1983, Paul Young was immediately hailed as an intriguing synthesis of the old and the new. Blessed with a classic blue-eyed-soul voice, in the Bobby Hatfield/Daryl Hall tradition, Young pays homage to R&B tradition with respectful covers of Marvin Gaye's Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) and Booker T and the MG's' Iron Out the Rough Spots. Laurie Latham's sparkling production is absolutely of-the-moment.
25 years on it still sounds fantastic – Paul’s own songs are quirky and New Wave-influenced while his choice of covers is rather interesting. He covers Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart and three songs by Jack Lee (of LA's pop-punk Nerves) among them the exquisite hit single, Come Back and Stay. In retrospect, No Parlez is unmistakably a product of the early '80s but Young's voice and those inescapable pop hooks remain timeless.
The album includes tracks Come Back and Stay, Love Will Tear Us Apart and Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home) to name a few.
To be in with a chance of winning a copy of the album, just answer this question…
