A long version of 'I like Chopin' for nostalgia lovers

"When I obtained this version of the probably most famous song of Gazebo, my first reaction was bitterness. I had expected to find the single version I had always known since I was 15 (the single came out in 1986, if I remember) but the beginning didn't really match. So what? Would I have been awfully mistaken? Fortunately not. I had a whisper of relief when I recognized note by note the original. In fact, the single version is entirely included in this one, which is nothing else than a long version. :-) Finally I liked it, since I lost nothing, au contraire! Of course, I would understand people would prefer to get the single and only the single. In this case, I'm afraid you'll have to fall back on one of Gazebo's Best Of like the one named 'Collection'. Notice this CD also features a song called 'Only you', performed by a guy whose name is Savage. It's pleasant to listen but I don't think I discovered a talent. Maybe 'Only you' will fit the expectation of some listeners who knew that song and liked it. What I mean is, they would perhaps appreciate it for the same reasons I appreciated 'I like Chopin': Nostalgia!"
