  4. The Alarm, Change, 1989 on I.R.S. Records

    We recently lost Mike Peters of The Alarm, after a 30 year battle with cancer. He also had a lengthy solo career following the band’s breakup in the early 90s, and founded the Love Hope Strength Foundation.

    This album was their penultimate with the original lineup, and has NID YN CYMRU AR WERTH carved into the runout (“Wales is not for sale”). They also released simultaneously a version in Welsh called Newid.

    My copy—via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA—is a US pressing from 1989. The cover is die cut (ALARM on the front, CHANGE on the back) such that the inner lyrics sheet (which wraps around the printer inner) shows through.

    "A new south Wales" - The Alarm

    Mike Peters laments the demise of the coal mines in south Wales. The sound is a simple piano-and-vocal, and the song deliberately taps into the tradition of male voice choirs from south Wales with a gorgeous finish.

    Recorded in 1989, a final hurrah for the coal industry. In part a tribute for Mike, who died this week.
