| Description: | Deluxe CD + DVD edition. Premiering in 2008, the David Essex stage musical, All The Fun Of The Fair, took audiences on a thrilling roller coaster ride through some of Essex's most beloved songs, via an emotional story starring the singer himself. And now, compiled in this super-deluxe CD+DVD box set, is all the music from the show, plus a memorable performance filmed live on stage. In the lead role of Levi Lee, a funfair-owner mourning the loss of his wife and struggling to keep his business open, Essex led a world-class cast through a tale of romance and danger, as prophesied by fortune teller Rosa. With Lee's unruly son falling for the daughter of a heatless businessman, and Lee himself finding hope in the eyes of the mystical clairvoyant, the tale draws towards it's suspenseful conclusion. Featuring cast recordings of classic David Essex songs, including "Gonna Make You A Star", "Hold Me Close", "Silver Dream Machine" and more, the All The Fun Of The Fair super-deluxe box set contains a big-top's worth of goodies, including the music on CD and a filmed performance on DVD, plus a reproduction program and an array of flyers and posters, all topped off with a signed, numbered certificate of authenticity."All The Fun Of The Fair" on CD presents David Essex in a melodically rich and emotionally nuanced light, capturing the blend of pop, rock and theatrical flair for which he became known in the 1970s.

Listeners can expect a mix of upbeat, fairground-like atmospheres and more intimate moments, creating a coherent listening experience that feels both nostalgic and timeless.
