Where have you gone to my lovely

"Why on earth did Peter Sarstedt decide to re-record his wonderful song, the one that made him famous all over the world -"where do you go to, my lovely"? This new version, with his voice (to be kind) definitely not what it was, plus a musical arrangement so far different - and really nasty-sounding - that I thought my newly-arrived CD was flawed. Really maddening. I heard this song 30 years ago and fell in love with it, as did millions of people. The rest of tracks in this 2 CD pack seem to be re-releases of Peter Sarstedt's previous recordings, so why fiddle about with the favourite one, hasn't Peter S heard of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'? My recommendation - if it's the Peter Sarstedt of 30 years ago you want to hear - forget it, don't buy this one, you'll be bitterly disappointed! Either stick to your vinyls or try and score a CD with this track in its original form!"
