KDO: Anglický zpěvák, kytarista a skladatel patří k nejslavnějším britským hudebníkům pozdních osmdesátých let. Legendární muzikant, jenž vyniká specifickou hrou na kytaru, získal hned několik nominací na Brit Awards a Grammy a jeho přínos je srovnatelný s Markem Knopflerem či Ericem Claptonem. Debutoval v roce 1978 albem Whatever Happened To Benny Santini?, které obsahuje píseň Fool (If You Think It's Over), což je hudebníkův nejúspěšnější singl v Americe. V Evropě Chris Rea uspěl až v roce 1983 s pátou deskou Water Sign. Dodnes prodal celosvětově přes 30 milionů desek. CO: Chris Rea - ERA 1 (As, Bs and Rarities 1978 - 1984) je kompilační album, které obsahuje kolekci raných děl Chrise Rea z let 1978 až 1984. Sbírka poskytuje komplexní pohled na vývoj hudebníka coby sólového umělce, který původně působil v kapelách Magdalene a The Beautiful Losers CD1 1.
