Billy Ocean Remixes and Rarities

As colder temperatures begin to appear everywhere, we thought we might take a look at a collection where some of the material harkens back to the warmer, summer months: Cherry Red imprint Cherry Pop's recent release of Remixes and Rarities by singer-songwriter Billy Ocean.

Ocean had been recording since 1972, and scored memorable hits in his home of England with the No. 2s “Love Really Hurts Without You” and
