Billy
Fury –
Rough
Diamonds and Pure Gems
CD
Album, Compilation, 1991
The
Magnum Music Group
To
be honest this is a lame album collection of Billy Fury recordings
that don't matter. It is for those who have everything by the man,
and here is the bottom of the barrow as well. The only thing that is
passable is his recordings of Buddy Holly songs, which of course, is
natural for him. But even that one feels he's trapped by the
production and the show-biz machinery of the British early 60's music
world. Of course there are better albums out there by this great
artist, but its tough to love a pop singer who has a faulty catalog
of recordings. Still, its worth to go through the horror to find the
beauty that is in his music history.
