Now here is a singer taht was very underated at the height of his popularity.He had some great albums and songs.I would put him right up there with Nick Lowe,Dave Edmunds,and Ian Gomm for sure.His early albums,I believe it was his second album where he is wearing those really weird New Wave glasses,that has his minor hit "No Chance" on it,that is one of his best among his classic albums.It also contains "She Made A Fool Of You" Hot House Baby, Dreamer,etc.His greatest hits recording which is out on cd has all of his hits,except it doesn't include his most well known hit,which is "X-Ray Vision" Surely there was room enough to just add that one song?

Just checked a few places for The Very Best Of Moon Martin CD for you Devildog.Well I can tell you this,that CD Universe doesn't have it,and Amazon has it listed as out of stock.The best place and most reliable for hard to get CD's that has this CD,and wo

Um that really should be www.songsearch.com and with no and at the end of the URL.

Thanks for all of the research, newwavepopman. I will have to "scoop" this cd. Moon Martin was definitely overlooked. It is a shame that real musicians are often overlooked while crap artists like Ricky Martin are given the spotlight.
