John Farnham – Whispering Jack

A brilliant album that sounded great in 1986 and sounds just as great today. One of the best singers of modern times. My pressing sounds fine.

This album is an all time classic one of the biggest selling album of the 1980's

a classic album one of this best i still have the album

One of the greatest Australian bangers of all time, plus a bunch of mostly forgettable 80s pop songs.

John was the king of Aussie Music in the 60 &70 but by the mid 80’s he was broke. His manager agreed to one more record, it cost $150,000 to produce and was taken on by RCA without listening to it after everyone else had rejected it. On release the track ‘your the voice’ went to number #1 and stayed there for a year with the album selling 1.5 million copy’s and saving John career.

John Farnham finally broke through with this album and deservedly so! After all these years, a new generation are now hearing him for the first time and are amazed at what a world class voice and performer he was back in his hey day! This album brings back a lot of memories for me. It has that unmistakable ‘80’s production and despite the pressing being a bit on the thin and bright side, the hits off this album and of course; the voice are first rate!

Comeback album for somewhat forgotten (but phenomenal) Aussie singer. Slightly dated MOR 80’s production but no less impressive songs & amazing vocals.
Worth re-discovering.

I don't get the low rating of this album. It's the biggest selling album in the history of Australia (for what it's worth)!!!! Give credit where credit's due!!!! It's actually a really good album with some fun songs. Yeah, it's more Pop than Rock, buy hey. Michael Jackson had a few pretty good tunes and he wasn't a rocker. I'm giving it a 4.5 stars in my book just because it's really well done, there's some really good musicians laying down the tracks, and I kinda liked it a lot. But that's just me.

good aussie album plenty of pop rock tunes and ballads ***!/2 stars(65/100)

Ok - I have a old newspaper image (and article) of John Farnham - actually at Disctronics "B" in Melbourne Aust - standing in front of the machine that actually metalized the discs .. how do I it here ?
