Concrete Blonde's first album not only entered the Billboard Top 100, but it also generated 3 singles: "Still In Hollywood", "Dance Along The Edge," and "True." Amazing accomplishment for a debut album. This CD is as vital today as is was when it was first released in 1986. Even more so now that Superfecta is reissuing this album digitally remastered with expanded packaging and lyrics. Futhermore, noted journalist Kevin Couch has compiled new liner notes based on a 2004 interview with Johnette Napolitano and James Mankey in which they discuss the band's early years - a topic that has rarely been seen in print. Twelve tracks in all, including the non-album cut "It'll Chew You Up And Spit You Out," an alternate version of "Still In Hollywood" with new lyrics. Reader Reviews I'm amazed that this album is so hard to find. My ancient vinyl version was bookended by the two versions of "True." This album came out at a time in the late eighties when rock music had pretty much ceased to respirate. "Beware of Darkness" is a great cover of an old George Harrison song, "Little Sister" features some of the personal and vibrant lyrics on the album. The vocals and playing are excellent throughout the album. Found some change in my pocket, thought I'd take a chance and dial... This album came out during a dark period in my life and the music has intense personal value and meaning. It's more than worth the money. You ought to buy a copy while it's available. You never know when you're going to need it. Music has kept more than one lost soul off the rocks. This isn't music for idiots. You'll need to bring a little something to the table. A feeling of urban grit but delivered with a clear, sober exactitude that feels much more like poetry. From what I can recollect the band instantly fell into the standard L.A. black hole of one-album-success-and-a-lifetime-of-heroin-use. But I'm surprised to have to dig to find this album again, this truly is one of the best rock albums ever recorded. Comment | Permalink | (Report this) Back To Top |
