So what is The Other Side of Chas & Dave? Put simply, it is their marvellous ballads. Not many people know just how many laid back beautiful songs they have written. Here are a few, with a song-by-song commentary in the booklet, specially written for this compilation by Chas himself.

Across twenty-one tracks, selected by Chas and Dave themselves, the duo display their fabulous knack of pairing universal heartfelt sentiments with memorable tunes and performances. Amidst the well-known and lesser-known songs are gems like “I’m Going Back”, the song used in that wonderful Heathrow Airport Christmas advert with Granny and Grandpa teddy bears, “Wish I Could Write A Love Song” (they can!), and the perennial favourite (and #2 hit) “Ain’t No Pleasing You”.
