( - Mark Ronson makes a stellar return with his album Version--a shimmering, culture-clashing solo LP that finds 12 classic tracks recreated into visionary floor-fillers.
- The LP's first single--a stunning, immaculate spin on The Smith's seminal 'Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before' which meets The Supreme's 'You Keep Me Hanging On'--is a result Morrissey himself loves.
- 'Stop Me' features the vocals of hot new Australian talent Daniel Merriweather who's signed to Mark's Allido label. It's a soulful tour de force that deftly sets the tone for the new album.
- It's also the perfect re-introduction to the man whose production credits over the last year include: Christina Aguilera, Robbie Williams, Ghostface Killah, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse and his Allido protégé Rhymefest.
- 'An arsenal of superb funk samples...tracks by The Smiths, Coldplay and Radiohead are blasted into a different groove entirely' (The Observer).

Stop Me is now one of my all time favorite songes!
80% fantastic.
Best are: Stop Me, Toxic, Valerie, Apply some Pressure, Pretty Green.
Not so good: Just, The Only One I Know, these are too similar to the original versions.
This offers something different and sexy, go on, give it a go...you know ya wanna!
Mark Ronson - Version (BAD VERSION!!)

After watching the Brits, and listening to Mark Ronson, I honestly thought this album would be great. So I bought it, and OH BOY! I was so disappointed with it. Yes I skipped through the tracks and now the cd is at the back of my cd cabinet. In other words, NOT TO BE PLAYED AGAIN.
This album should just not work..... but it does. I had the same feeling when the Scissor Sisters covered one of my all time favourites... Comfortably Numb, I wanted to hate it, but the version was so good I couldn't. The 1 track I dont like is Pretty Green, but apart from that I loved the originals of these tracks and in some cases I like the covers even more. The highlight (not the obvious Amy Winehouse track) is Stop me, how you can merge the Smiths into 90's dance music, I dont know?..... Mark Ronson does!
