Midge Ure fronted Ultravox in the new Romantic Eighties –but his career, whether guesting for Thin Lizzy and Visage, getting Band Aid up and running with Bob Geldof or a string of superb solo albums, amounts to much more. This in-depth look at those solo releases runs from Eighties chart-topper ‘If I Was’ through Nineties big-seller ‘Breathe’ and beyond, offering Scots rock with a twist.
Never less than rough, ready and raw the UK Subs proved with the 7 top 40 hits included here that smooth edges weren’t needed in the wake of the Punk explosion. The singles CID, Tomorrows Girls and Stranglehold perfectly captured the mood of the times and remain as impressive as they were upon first release. A retrospective covering the most successful period of the bands career during Punk’s high tide in the late 70s. Includes the hits Tomorrows Girls, Stranglehold, She’s Not There and Warhead. Sleevenotes and compilation by Alan Parker.
This is a very good live album from Alan Price which features a good mix of his old and new original material and a nice set of covers, such as Simon Smith and I Put a Spell on You. While the songs from O Lucky Man would be the best known, there are other gems here, such as Between Today and Yesterday (the LP which followed O Lucky Man) and the set as a whole is great listening. The musicians are top-notch and the production sounds really good; the drum sound is well captured, for example. Alan is in fine voice and sounds as if he's really enjoying the show(s). Highly recommended for fans of Alan Price, R&B or Randy Newman type songwriters.
