Rockferry Deluxe Edition - Duffy

Rockferry is one of the strongest debuts, heck album for that matter, I have come across in a long time. Her voice is compelling and her band is wonderful and matches her beautifully. From the sombre piano on Rockferry to the lush rhythms in Serious and Syrup & Honey to the Wall Of Sound on Mercy, this is an effort from a lot of very talented people with Duffy leading the way. She's an original and charming performer with a voice that will blast you out of your seat. All 10 songs on this debut that Duffy also co-wrote with Suede's Bernard Butler are potential breakout hits. Duffy delivers "Warwick Avenue," "Mercy," "Rockferry" and most ...  Read the complete review

love the cover ,love all the songs all seventeen of them love the voiceThe love the seven additional tracks on the deluxe version continue in that distinctive Duffy modern take on the 60s style with the perfect mix of upbeat songs and heartfelt melodies.she sounds a bit like petula clarke but i would say she is a cross between Dusty and a young Lulu.

Duffy has an amazing unique timeless voice which translates perfectly in this album, which is her Debut Album. And the Deluxe Edition has so much more to offer, compared to the normal version, boasting 2 discs of awesome tracks, 17 in total! Firstly, the album cover reflects perfectly what the album is about.

Most of Duffy's songs are pop songs, with a hint of 50s feel. My favourite tracks are: "Serious", "Warwick Avenue", "Breaking my own heart" and ...  Read the complete review

I would like to start by saying that the deluxe edition is better than the standard Cd, as it has more songs on it, and therefor better value. the CD was relised this year 2008, i have just downloaded my copy from amazon for £3, BARGIN!! as it would cost you £ 10 in the sale at HMV and £ 13 at asda. other wise you can buy the box set on amazon for £ 8.99, and have it sent to you for FREE. the deluxe edition is a box set, of two CD discs, including all her new song and others that you may not of heard yet. the CDs play for 62 minutes and that is 17 songs of bliss in my book. I like the fact that all the songs are just sung by ...  Read the complete review
