  5. U2, Songs of Surrender, 2023 on Island

    This album features re-recordings of U2's own songs, re-interpreted from their 2023 vantage point. It was something of an accompanying record to Bono's memoir (Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story) and the AppleTV documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender. The vinyl editions (2 x LP) only have 16 songs, where some of the other editions had more (40 songs on the 4 CD version) but I wanted to have it on vinyl. They updated lyrics of some songs (notably "Pride" and "Walk On") and the interpretations are […]

  7. Steve Winwood, Back In The High Life, 1986 on Island

    This was Winwood's fourth solo LP and the most commercially successful. Guests include Chaka Khan (on "Higher Love"), James Ingram (on "Finer Things") and James Taylor (on "Back In The High Life Again"). That's quite a set of backing vocalists. Nile Rodgers also adds guitar on "Wake Me Up On Judgement Day." You couldn't avoid the video (for "Higher Love") in 1987 - it was nominated for a bunch of MTV awards (but lost to "Sledgehammer" wikipedia tells me). I didn't have any real clue then […]

  21. Various Artists, The Vinyl Series Volume One, 2021 on Island

    Great collection of Reggae / Ska / Rocksteady singles from the early days of Island Records, said to be hand-picked by label founder Chris Blackwell. There's already been a Volume Two and Volume Three (going into the 70s) - not sure if there will be more or not. Somewhat idiosyncratically includes The Spencer Davis Group alongside Toots & The Maytals, Desmond Dekker & The Aces, and The Soul Sisters - but it makes sense in the context of the original releases which also stood side by side at […]
