    That is the second remixed version from Josephine, more dynamic than the first one. Idem about On the Beach, the one used for the video clip, by the way faster than the first version.

    Así es amigo Retro, Chris es un hombre, que por amor a su familia, se conformo sólo con el público Europeo, aquí en América, pasó desapercibido, y nos privo de esta exquisita música, el tiene 4 décadas de música increíble, aun los últimos 20 años de su música donde cambió de su música tradicional, y la cambió por su pasión al Blues, también es increíble, una vez que escuche una canción, querrás oír todo de él, gracias por compartir su música, y así las nuevas generaciones lo conocerán, I love Chris Rea por siempre, gracias ❤❤❤❤❤

      @@retroreactions.... I have a list of one or two suggestions for you and I have great taste. Ok maybe more than one or two but I bet you thank me after. Word! Just say and I'll give you the first say, ten? I love sharing the love of music. I think I would literally wither away without music. Music is life. Mum is a music lover going back to her childhood. She loves all types of stuff, Dylan, Queen, Caruso, CSN&Y Cat Stevens (and my dad looked like Cat's twin brother, I kid you not). so many she loved. She is still here with us (and dad) but is profoundly deaf now and her greatest sorrow is that she can no longer hear it. Some of what I listen to, I listen for my mum.
      Life story in one paragraph, so sorry I went on a bit, it just breaks my heart for her.

    CHRIS REA's guitar (a Fender Stratocaster which he called "Pinky"!!!) blues playing is still just as catchy. We hear the soul more than the technique... and that is perhaps the quality of a "real" musician. "The Road To Hell", "Josephine", "On The Beach", "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", "Looking For The Summer" and "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat" are staples of his production. It is to wonder how this author-composer-interpreter could pass so much under the radars. Alas, not recognized at its fair value. And what a voice! But, in my opinion, his masterpiece remains "Tell Me There's a Heaven". Composition, orchestration (symphonic type) and lyrics (the theme commands introspection) of a depth that draws tears. Rea the bluesman of the road, of love and pleasure gives way here to the benefit of Rea the mortal man whom the big question challenges. In short: Sublime! Impossible to listen to this song and come out of it intact, unchanged. It inevitably leaves traces. Thanks.

    Nice choice with Chris Rea today. I do like both of these songs, great vibes. Maybe the next time you choose Chris, I recommend “Working On It”, which is a rocker!! Also “Texas” is an epic song, it has some amazing slide guitar. These two songs are my favorites of his, although “Road to Hell” is right up there too.

    Glad you dove into Chris Rea again. Chris's voice and the instrumentation are great, but Josephine is a bit too repetitious for my taste. On the Beach is more to my liking and definitely deserves a platinum rating. But, my personal favorites show off his raspy voice and slide guitar better than these two. A few off the top of my head are "And You My Love", "Nothing To Fear" and "The Blue Cafe". Thanks, take care

      ​​@@retroreactions....No, it's not the 88 version either (or the other 88 version). It's an edited version of a French remix that replaced the original album version in 1987 and was on all subsequent versions until the 2 disc releases in 2019. Easy mistake to make as most versions of the album have this version. He released no less than five distinct versions of this one between 85 and 88 and another in 2008.
