	Tony Christie - Definitive Collection
	• SKU: 2210322 • UPC: 602498278673 • Shipping: $1.24 • Description: DEFINTIVE COLLECTION brings together the finest recordings from famed singer Tony Christie including "Drive Safely Darlin'," "On This Night Of A Thousand Stars," and "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast." Personnel: Jim Hunt (saxophone); Darren Wiles, Duncan Mckay (trumpet); Trevor Mires (trombone); Paul Flush (piano); Paul "Scooby" Smith (drums); Sean Fitzgerald (percussion); Jackie Williams , Lisa Millett, Steve Edwards (background vocals). Tony Christie is one of those weird, only-in-the-U.K. pop sensations that happens every couple years or so -- something as silly and massive as Chas & Dave or Mr. Blobby, something that seems absolutely bewildering to pop fans who don't live on the isles. Of course, unlike Blobby, Christie is an actual living, breathing musician, one who toiled at the margins of obscurity for decades before Peter Kay suddenly, inexplicably picked Christie's irresistible Neil Sedaka-written bubblegum 1971 novelty "(Is This the Way To) Amarillo" for the theme song for his 2004 BBC comedy Phoenix Nights. That was all it took to send "Amarillo" to number one in the U.K., well over 30 years after its initial release, making Christie a fleeting pop culture sensation in the process. This was something that had never happened to Christie in the past, despite his appearance on the first recorded version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita, despite enduring popularity in Europe, despite Pulp's Jarvis Cocker writing him a song in 1999, despite his "Avenues and Alleyways" being used as a theme in the post-Guy Ritchie British crime comedy Love, Honour and Obey. Christie survived all this to become a left-field star in 2005 and he wasn't the only one to seize the spotlight -- his former record labels followed suit, flooding the market with reissues and hits collections, of which Definitive Collection is the best. It runs an overly generous 21 songs, hitting all of the big moments in his career, which are not many: basically, "Amarillo," "Avenues and Alleyways," some cuts from Evita, Cocker's "Walk Like a Panther." There are a few Euro hits from the '80s and '90s that are missing, since the compilers wisely focus on '70s material that sounds a bit like "Amarillo" and a whole lot like a tamer Tom Jones. As dated kitsch goes, it's not bad, but a little goes a long way, and apart from the aforementioned trio of hits -- plus a handful of others, like "I Did What I Did for Maria," "Las Vegas," and "Don't Go Down to Reno" -- there just aren't that many memorable songs here; instead of great, forgotten schmaltzy soft rock, it often plays as generic Europop. Still, if "(Is This the Way To) Amarillo" makes you yearn for more Tony Christie, this is undoubtedly the collection that will satiate your curiosity, since it tells you everything you need to know and a whole lot more. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because for many retailers it was the day they went from being in the red to being in the black when they became profitable for the year. It is also the official beginning of the holiday shopping season, and Black Friday has become known for some of the best bargains, discounts and deals of the entire year! Everyone has watched stampeding crowds on the local news or diehard bargain hunters camping out overnight so they can be among the first to grab limited black friday specials at their favorite local retailers... However, if you prefer doing your holiday discount shopping from the warm and cozy comfort of home, then Cyber Monday was designed with you in mind! Online retailers spotted the Black Friday frenzy sweeping across the country as it took over brick and mortar locations - rather than compete for your black friday attention, they concocted a day that is all their own and named it Cyber Monday! The Monday after Thanksgiving is when your favorite online stores slash prices and offer their very best prices to help usher in the online holiday shopping season! That means big savings for you whether you choose to brave the local crowds on Black Friday or avoid the madness by browsing online during Cyber Monday Sales! Not to worry - the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving might get the most attention for discount holiday shopping, but if you procrastinate beyond that magical bargain hunting window it doesn't mean you will be completely left out... In fact, this promises to be an exceptionally consumer-friendly holiday shopping season with sales, coupons and discounts extending far beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday and allowing you to find the best prices on holiday gifts until the very last minute! Hoping to avoid discount shopping withdrawal? Even after Christmas and Hanukkah have come and gone, you'll still have After Holiday Specials to help usher in the New Year!
