All things Brighton Beautiful CD


All Things Brighton Beautiful CD: You've heard of the perfect music for cruising in your car in the summer time with the windows wound down and the stereo cranked up loud? Well, this is the perfect accompaniment for those long away trips to the likes of Oldham and Hartlepool on those cold and dark winter afternoons and evenings. Put it on the Car CD player, sing along to lots of your terrace classics set to a funky beat plus a number of other original songs, and get yourself in the mood for the game ahead.

Starting with "Albion Oh Albion", it progresses to the best track which is that fantasy that most of us have probably thought about ever since 1983 "And Smith Just Scored" - if only! "Seagulls Anthem" includes a modern version of Sussex by the Sea and the "Ode to Leon Knight" is exactly that with many variations of the he shot, he scored song plus his own version of Wimoweh. A new version of the 1983 Cup Final song "The Boys in the Old Brighton Blue" (changed here to the boys in the old white and blue) makes me wonder whoever bought the original - and why! "We're with the Albion" is set to punky fuzz guitar and is followed by "Jimmy's White Shoes", all about Jimmy Melia and the 1983 Cup Final of course. There follows a list of 101 Brighton Legends and Famous Players split into three parts which is interesting to listen to once and be surprised how few goals certain players scored or how many appearances others did actually make despite their lack of class (no doubt you will all have your own opinions about this!). However, you'd skip over this every other time you played the CD. There are a few strange choices though - Frank Stapleton & Russell Osman hardly count as Legends while Stuart Storer is excluded. Kerry Mayo is also classified as a midfield player - some would say he's not even a left back! In between these three parts is "Blue & White Barmy Army" which includes the Chris McPhee / Christmas Tree song and a number of other variations on terrace chants (guess which!) and, finally, "We Love you Brighton" which is another variation on all of your favourite Albion songs.

All in all, it's a fun CD which may date a little in the future once a lot of the current players have moved on but with plenty of references to the 1983 Cup Final, the Goldstone Ground and many players from the past there's plenty for everyone to enjoy. Keep it in the car and dig it out every time you're heading north and looking forward to an away win.
