Leo Sayer enjoyed a better surge of popularity in the UK than he did in the US. In fact, in the UK, Leo Sayer put together an impressive stream of sustainable hits. In the US, he managed to hit a bit of a stride. That US interest only embraced “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing”, “More Than I Can Say”, “When I Need You”, and “Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)” (and to a lesser extent, “The Show Must Go On” although Three Dog Night championed it first), shows that Leo Sayer had a deserved Pop appeal if not a long-lasting US one.
Still, Leo Sayer amassed a treasure chest of singles in his native UK market. If you were a fan, then the upcoming issue of a collected set of singles that is a work of art. The Box is called The Complete UK Singles Collection 1973-1986.
On March 25, UK’s Edsel Records will issue a 30CD Box of singles as they originally released. Using the original sleeve art for each single (and its B-Side), this set will please every solid Leo Sayer fan. Two of the inclusions are bonus CDs. The first of those is a set of collected mixes of his 2007 hit with Meck, “Thunder In My Heart Again”. The last CD in this set is the inclusion of The Very Best of Leo Sayer released in 1979 and hitting number one in the UK charts.
