SMALLTIME BOY = BIGTIME SMASh !!
Small Town Boy, every time, has to be one of the best songs of its times, although his version of hanging on the telephone is brilliant.
Has to be small town boy, great song , although his version of hanging on the telephone is brilliant.
for a friend !
Fave Sommerville track is probably C Minor from the Communards ‘Red’ album. Very powerful & emotional.
Hard to pick one particular favourite
But I just love his version of “hurt so good”
I dance the night away. Good times!
Must to have……………………………
Never heard Jimmy Sommerville and Communards. I am 18 – sorry for that.
Would be a great Christmas gift for my father who’s an Eighties nerd.
Fantastic artist that still pulls it off today – For A Friend is one of the best ever written
Heartbeat.
Smalltown boy (Reprise 2014) a great song also today….
I love superdeluxeedition.com;
Not winning this competition would change that only slightly.
Why!
Safe
Read My Lips
I recognized after years that Somerville is written with only one “m”.
My goodness!
Has to be Smalltown Boy, such a classic song!
Smalltown Boy
Ain´t necessarily so….
Smalltown boy
For a friend!
a brilliant song!one of the best ballads of the eighties!
Puit D’Amour (with Bronski Beat). BTW, signed up for the newsletter but received a website error.
Don’t Leave me this way
So cold the night
Smalltown Boy
TOMORROW
My favorite Jimmy track is You Are My World (New York ’87 Mix), which isn’t on this (or any other) CD. But I hope I win one anyway!
My favourite track is the duet with Marc Almond, “I feel love”.
Please do a show in NYC!
heartbeat
I want it i need it i love it pleaseeeee gimme gimme gimme
I Feel Love Medley.
It Ain’t Necessarily So.
Don’t Leave Me This Way. Loved the original, and love this version.
‘No More War’ – shivers down the spine
For A Friend.
Why?
Easily the most beautiful track with most poetic, heart wrenching lyrics is “For A Friend”. All these years later, still can’t listen to it without becoming emotional.
Smalltown boy
Smalltown Boy or Don’t Leave Me This Way
Hit That Perfect Beat
Smalltown Boy 12″
my absolute favourite of Jimmy’s is as it goes the first I heard of him – “Coming”, performed in the final of “Orlando”. this song is just amazing – rythmic, soothing and epic. love it!
Smalltown Boy.
Never can say goodbye!!!
As a gay male, “Why” still has a lot to say 30 years on. One of their best.
Mighty Real
It’s hard to argue against Smalltown Boy.
Thanks for the comp.
Why?
Disenchanted

Comment te dire adieu
So Cold The Night
So many favs, but “By Your Side”, stunning vocals, moving lyrics.
Favourite?? So hard to choose!!
Fave Bronski Beat: Ain’t Necessarily So
Great take on this standard. Makes it uniquely Jimmy!
Fave Communards: Dont Leave Me This Way!
Everything about this!! Takes me back to dancefloor heaven, punching the air with Jimmy singing aaaah BABY! Then that amazing piano break. Stellar.
Fave Jimmy solo: Read My Lips
Impossible not to dance to :) Love it, and indeed the rest of that album!
Fave Prize? Why, oddly enough, it would be this 2CD/DVD Jimmy/Bronski/Communards dance and rarities set! :)
Thanks!
smalltown boy!!
JUNK FROM THE BROSKI BEAT TIME
I feel love / Johnny Remember Me – great track with Mark Almond. Remember being shown the 12″ at a house party. Been looking for it on CD ever since….
Cadillac Car. Bonkers.
love and money
Favorite jimmy track at the moment… his youtube smalltown boy version recorded when he stopped walking his dog and sang with a total stranger. Lovely.
DISENCHANTED – As a young gay boy in the early 80’s, I cried and cried and cried listening to this song. It’s message helped me immeasurably. I could even say it saved my life. I will be forever grateful.
Don’t Leave Me This Way
I like Disenchented very much!
it ain’t necessarily so
So many from Bronski, Communards and solo…so one each!
Smalltown Boy
For A Friend
Read My Lips
by your side, it’s such a beautiful song
It’sva pleausure to have only a compilation with Sommerville, Bronski Beat and Communards together.
you are my world
Smalltown boy
Don’t Leave Me This Way. Driving to the south of France with my parents and brother in the late 80s with two cassettes in the cassette player: Paul Simon’s Graceland and a compilation tape that started with Don’t Leave Me This Way. Whenever I hear that song it takes me back to that wonderful holiday.
Smalltown Boy (12″ Version)
Definitely “Smalltown Boy”
Never can say goodbye
TMTLTBMG – a beautiful sentiment, inclusive of everyone despite being a queer love statement :^)
“Smalltown Boy [12″ Version]”
Don’t Leave Me This Way
Don’t leave me without this !!!!!!!!
Smalltown boy
From This Moment On from the red, hot & blue compilation
So Cold the Night is a rippah of a track.
I was going to go for “Smalltown Boy” but over the last few years “Why” has stolen the crown!
Read my lips!
My Favoriten Jimmy Sommerville Track is “Smalltown Boy”
Absolutely love Smalltown Boy, of course, but my favorite ever is the William Orbit remix of You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)- genius!
I have two favourite tracks; Smalltown Boy (Extended Mix) and Never Can Say Goodbye (Shep Pettibone Mix)
Smalltown Boy will be THE classic forever but Bronski Beat’s version of It Ain’t Necessarily So is my fave for this season. Each year. Still.
Run From Love
Smalltown boy
Smalltown boy
I am a rocker at heart but there is no denying the man’s talent, catchy grooves with such songs as Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy and Don’t leave me this way. Also one of the first openly homosexual singer/songwriter/artist to be out there performing. It must not have been easy for this man at that time. Power to him. And yes, I would certainly appreciate this CD/DVD.
Junk ;)
So cold the night…
Has to be smalltown boy
The 12″ extended mix of Small Town Boy.
Don’t Leave Me This Way
Wow, this would definitely fill some long-open holes in the music collection!
My favorite Jimmy track? I have to say it is a tie for me….Bronski Beat’s “Why” and Jimmy’s track on the Orlando Soundtrack “Coming”.
Smalltown Boy for me as well…
smalltown boy
I love Tomorrow and Enough is Enough. So glad Jimmy has gotten all this attention from Edsel with the re-releases. Loving them.
Never Can Say Goodbye
ciao from Italy
Small town Boy
I love communards, don’t leave me this way ….

Disenchanted
Why?
Heartbeat
Smalltown Boy
Smalltown boy has to be THE favorite track
The best track is : “Heaven Here On Earth (With Your Love)”
Comment te dire adieu
Smalltown Boy still does it.
Read My Lips and Tomorrow
Jimmy Somerville, Bronski Beat and The Communards were just perfect 1980s!
Smalltown Boy.
Smalltown Boy
By your side
No More War.
Been so long
WHY ?
why i feel love for smalltown boy
“For A Friend”
Single/extended mixes of Tomorrow
You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
BB: Smalltown boy
TC: Tomorrow
JS: Comment te dire adieu
Although I really like “Smalltown Boy”, my favorite is “It Ain’t Necessarily So”. If Gershwin was alive, I’m sure he would appreciate Jimmy’s version.
“Never Can Say Goodbye,” although I also equally love “Smalltown Boy”
Favourite Jimmy! Where do I start? Bronski has to be Smalltown Boy, Communards is Tomorrow and solo is To Love Somebody.
Tomorrow is fave if I have to pick one.
Great site!
You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) and Never Can Say Goodbye are Jimmy Somervilicious!
I want my Jimmy Sommerville’s Compilation!!!!
Tomorrow!
“Smalltown Boy” is an absolute masterpiece
For a Friend.

It Ain’t Necessarily So
i feel love with marc almond
still a few misses on this one , but a great add-on to the previous reissue !
Favorite Jimmy Track… Comment te dire adieu.
Well, Jimmy’s got so many great tracks… I’d say “Smalltown boy” or “Don’t leave me this way”, but everyone’s gonna say those so I’m gonna go with his fabulous new song “Back to me”.

For A Friend..
Desire. It’s a bonus track but should have been a single itself.
A wonderful gift for a smalltown boy…
Why?
Small town boy!
Gotta have it! Great collection!
Why? Because I’m a Smalltown Boy who needs a lovely 2CD+DVD set!
By Your Side
Tell Me Why? :)
Smalltown Boy…Classic!
Comment te dire adieu
smalltown boy

30yrs on and it’s still “Smalltown Boy”, just as relevant today.
So Cold the Night… Rather appropriately
Don’t Leave Me That Way
So cold the night and also Disenchanted by Communards.
SmallTown Boy
Ain’t Necessarily So would be my favourite track
Don’t leave me this way (without this in my collection).
Jimmy Somerville You Are My World……well not really, but I do like that song , and I also know that it was sung by the Communards and not Jimmy on his own.
‘Don’t leave me this way’ Sarah Jane and his voice = perfection
Don’t leave me this way
ooh that’s a tough one, but has to be Smalltown Boy
wonderfull
So Cold The Night
…i wish i was lucky enough!!!
Disenchanted

Smalltown Boy
There’s More To Love Than Boy Meets Girl (The Jalapeno Mix)
Tomorrow.
His 1990 Bee Gees cover “To Love Somebody” still sounds so laidback to me

No More War

My favourite Jimmy Somerville track is COMMENT TE DIRE ADIEU with June Miles Kingston.

“So cold the night”……(makes every day a bit warmer :-)
Great 80s Music!

For all the AIDS-victims in the 80’s/90’s.
Just to be different – Small Town Boy. :p
Smalltown Boy
Something to Live For!!!!! I love Jimmy!!!
