Product Review

The Czars present what must surely rank as the most beautiful covers album in the world ever! Recorded throughout the Czars 10-year career, generally for use as b-sides, the band regularly receive enquiries from their devoted fans as to how they can get hold of these rarities. Now for the first time ever they are gathered together on one stunning record. Some of the covers here are true to the originals, while other tracks are reinvented in John Grant's inimitable style. Particular mention must go to Abba's 'Angel Eyes' and 'Where the Boys Are' by Connie Francis which are transformed into the most mesmerizing love songs. Bella Union. 2006.
