(Instrumental Remake). This audio is part of the “Looking For The Summer”
''Looking For The Summer'' from album ''Auberge''.
Auberge (a French word meaning "inn") is the twelfth studio album by Chris Rea, released in 1991. The album as well as the title song was mostly notable for the association of the Caterham Super Seven that he owned, in which he called it the "Blue Seven".
That car appeared on the album cover, illustrated in oil by renowned motoring artist Alan Fearnley.
The album makes several references to the car over several tracks, as well on the video of the title song and its cover illustration was used for its adverts.
In 2005, Rea sold his car in an auction. Auberge was a #1 album in the UK in 1991. The title track also gave Rea one of his biggest chart hits, reaching #16 in the UK charts. Other songs released as singles were "Heaven", "Looking For The Summer" and "Winter Song".
