Chris Rea - Josephine (Version #4)

[Mr80sboy]

Bought the album goodness knows how long ago,on tape!!!Played this until the sound wore off.still sounds good.:)

[RnBHunter1]

Oh...there´s one who pushed the wrong button....ok...shit happens :-)

[boomsmaatje]

Still gives me shivers, this version was played through the speakers at the end of Torhout/Werchter festival back in the 80ties, the night in the forest with all the campfires it was like magic!

[twowinds]

This Version is the best one i have heard, You can dance to it :)

[bluseyg]

My favourite version! Thanks for posting.

[feesterrotje]

For sure!

[Bexy82]

The most beautiful version of Josephine!!! Fantastic song!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

[Lowdownbackporch]

I go for this one. Great mix. And he even uses different keys. From D, through E flat to E.

Nice job, Joseag!!

[tykqa]

the best version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[ageofaquariann]

: )))))

[olovdenstore]

This is the best version. I Love the guitar - a contant sound in the bakground

[lingustica]

AMAZING arrangement! Love the piano.

[olovdenstore]

@lingustica

Exacly. The piano in the end of the song. Beautiful and a little bit desperate

[Troelsff]

Christmas version?

[zikad11]

Personally - the best version by far :)

[caschreier]

This my favorite version too and until now I didn't know it was originally from Shamrock Diaries. I know a lot of people are looking for this version so my advise is to get a copy of Kuschelrock vol.2, there you will find it. Hope someone finds this helpful.

[sentret]

Loving the progression in this song. it's even danceable to some degree.

[hildaatje]

Thanks ever so much(!),but where is the longer version?

Does anybody know?

[dannyclaudiu]

@hildaatje i posted the longer version as a response to this video

[frippvintage]

@joseag Hold Up!

[margarethadewit]

Loooooooooooooooooooove it! Best version ever, just too short!

[talxat]

самый супер вариант.спасибо автору

[Majik47]

Thanks man. This is by far the best version, and almost unavailable - even on later issues of "Shamrock Diaries" it has been replaced by the inferior Synth version.

[cestmoidia]

that's the one

[kuapo]

Didn't know there were so many versions of this thing.

But this is the one I knew and came to love, with the most feeling and honesty to it.

[frontloop71]

this is magic music and the piano after 3:35 is even more magic (too bad this copy is so short) there's nothing you can do but to go with the flow! thanks chris rea for music that makes us happy.

[eyvb5w3]

it's always good to listen to this old track . All the best Mr Rea!

[olovdenstore]

This versíon are thte best one! Its sad that they replaced it om the album. I very much like the guitarr sound and the piano at the end

[jtheshowstoppper]

best version out

[Tamich]

The 1st version I heard and of course the one I enjoy most. Fantastic song

[hush00]

yes! this is the one I was looking for.

What an amazing song...

[Subbi2]

Indeed this is one is the one and only.

[mikevandervegt]

Finaly the right version for me :-D

[oliverheinz]

my favorite song of all times!!!! good memories!!! just love it!!

the one and only version!

[robyoungsongs]

this is the most authentic version

[Bexy82]

@robyoungsongs In my opinion also!!! :-)

[Kato6996]

Best Version.

Lovely guitar and percussion on this one.

Thanks

K.

[Fatbluepony]

Is that a koto at the start? I love this song!

[bat5561]

Mi version favorita, pero la frescura de la interpretacion en vivo es insuperable, Chris Rea, genio y figura.

[lialammas]

Version #4 -#4 I can't imagine not knowing this version... what a beautiful music.

Great Chris Rea... I send all my love.....

[milancaleta]

after all those years I just love my Josie

[MrEttio]

It's a little bit stranged this one is called version 4. This is the best and the original. The acoustic guitar gives me the chills. It reminds me of the time when i was a little kid and listened to radio Tour de France in 1985 with the Hinault-Lemond and Roche.

In 1993 I saw Chris Rea live in Rotterdam and he played a version very close to this one.

[hildaatje]

Yep-This is the version that made it into the charts and so this is the one we all know and love.I prefer this version to all the others as well!

[Pleasuredome05]

...and by the way, does anyone know, why he has replaced this wonderful version with that boring mainstream version.... (well, it´s better than nothing ;-) )

[Pleasuredome05]

as i see, i´m not the only one who´s looking for that version. i also bought the cd version of shamrock diaries and was so disappointed. isn´t there any cd out with the original lp version on it ? and if not, dear joseag, can you send me the long lp version too.

[MichaelDalberg]

Just a ...superb.....!!!!

Michael Dalberg

[3siberiada2]

This will always be my favorite version.

[DDOIT99]

The version I know and still prefer is very close to this one...but still slightly different.

[markinlc]

Thanks to all Chris Rea fans, and the people posting these classics. I discovered Chris Rea only when living in Zurich. As great as he is- there wasn't any airplay for him in the USA. I've been a fan ever since. Greetings from Southern California!

[Rotemetoot]

This is Chris Rea - Josephine.

I do not now why there are other songs named exactly the same way ^^

I don't know for sure, but this must be the original right?

[3siberiada2]

It was the single version. That much I know

[NeverMetYouYet]

YES! That's the one I've been looking for...(finaly...)

Definitely the best version

so gentle...

[Radjikoemarie]

@NeverMetYouYet I was also looking for this gentle version!! It is soo beautiful! And...far out the best....

ENJOY! :-)

[munph70]

YES! THIS is the original version of this song. Even the 'Shamrock Diaries' re-issue replaced this version with an inferior. This is the ONLY version worth knowing!

[MauroBellissimo]

absolutely right^^

[hermit88]

You are so right. I bought the Shamrock Diaries re-issue just for this track and was disappointed - then bought a second-hand copy and it still had the inferior version on it! How can I be sure of getting hold of this version?

[zzlmarkt]

If you give me your e-mail I send you the MP3 or WMA (what you prefer ?) of this beautiful song. And I got the full 4'26 album version. The version here is an single edit.

[likeaneeagle]

please please please send me an mp3 of this version i have been searching FOREVER and the 4'26 version too pls

what is your email address?

[ojf1985]

I think this one is the best ... :)

[teddyqpr]

magic...still my favourite version.

i have this on a cassette of "shamrock diaries" but can't get it on cd- does anyone know how to get a cd with this original version on it???cheers!

[tj0099]

that was sweet...ty from the great white north...cheers...brought frankfurt live back from 93.

[sologj]

my favorite version!

[cjsereni]

Simply the best version available

[Ebj1986]

Great

[polkaemilka]

I worship the version with Barry white, if somebody has this let will throw :)

[WEdidITagain]

omg thank you! i heard this on german radio and couldn't for the life of me work out what it was! it's not the version francaise, and it's not even the peter visti edit, which i now see is obviously an extended version of this...thanks so much, now just to track it down in real life!

[Rodybboss]

I love this version, definitely the best version for me. Anywhere I can download this song ??

[zzlmarkt]

This is a short version of " Josephine" from the album shamrock diaries,Later releases of shamrock diaries have a remixed dance style version of josephine replacing the much better original one.
