(2021) Chris Farlowe & The Thunderbirds - Stormy Monday & The Eagles Fly On Friday



Review:
With a career spanning over six decades, Chris Farlowe remains one of the UK’s most powerful song stylists. His 1966 No.1 hit ‘Out Of Time’ propelled him into international pop consciousness but it was his solid R&B credentials and soulful vocals, honed over years of live performing with his band the Thunderbirds, which continue to resonate with fans and collectors to this day. Compiled in conjunction with the artist, Dave Greenslade and Albert Lee, this deluxe 3CD set presents an overview of his highly sought-after 60s output including a disc of hitherto unreleased live material. Remastered by Eroc, this 55-track set includes 16 previously unreleased live recordings and a 16-page booklet with an essay by Spencer Leigh. Focusing on Chris Farlowe’s 60s output, over 50 newly remastered Mono recordings across three CDs chart the story of one of the premier voices of UK R&B/Rock and feature Dave Greenslade and Albert Lee. Includes singles and EP tracks from 1962-1965, BBC sessions including several new-to-CD and a previously unreleased live show from 1965 recorded at London’s iconic Flamingo Club.
