KIRSTY MACCOLL 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Celebrating a decade of Kirsty MacColl's iconic album Electric Landlady, this special edition boasts half-speed remastered tracks that sound better than ever. MacColl's distinctive vocals and songwriting prowess shine through in every track, from the infectious energy of 'Walking Down Madison' to the poignant storytelling of 'My Affair.' With its fusion of pop, folk, and rock influences, this album remains a timeless classic which will reinstate with new audiences as well as once again chiming with those who fell for it first time round. MacColl's musical legacy and the brilliance of one of the most influential singer-songwriters of her generation cannot be overstated here. Fun fact: MacColl was once Johnny Marr's landlady.

Review: Demon Music present a career-spanning collection of 25 of Kirsty MacColl's most popular recordings on a 2xLP set. Between her June 1979 debut single 'They Don't Know' and her tragic death in 2000, Kirsty released five studio albums and seventeen singles, a succinct but consistently high quality body of work, much of it self-written or in partnership with notable collaborators like Graham Gouldman or Johnny Marr. Whether exploring themes of love and loss, or applying her original and often witty worldview, Kirsty's talent as a songwriter and singer is instantly apparent on this new compilation. She was equally adept at throwing new light on old favourites - look no further than her (some might say better than the original) covers of The Kinks' 'Days', and Billy Bragg's 'A New England', both included here.
