It’s funny to think that despite signing him originally and enjoying the fruits of his hit albums in the 1980s, Warners have never issued a deluxe edition of a Howard Jones album. Perhaps frustrated by the inaction, Jones took matters into his own hands about seven years ago and licensed his music from Warners and put out a series of box sets on his own dtox label. Last year the major sold Howard Jones’ catalogue to Cherry Red and the latter have finally announced what we all knew was coming: some very extensive reissues of the first two albums Human’s Lib (1984) and Dream Into Action (1985).

Paul McCartney’s latest album Egypt Station is full of invention, great melodies and more than a few flashes of the old brilliance
How many times have you read that Paul McCartney‘s new record is his “best since Band on the Run“? Almost every Macca studio album over the years has been framed as a supposed ‘return to form’ and this hype surely reached its nadir in 1993, when the very average Off The Ground was likened to The Beatles’ ‘White Album’!
The problem is, hearing a new Paul McCartney album is quite exciting. The man has written some of best pop songs ever recorded, and it’s easy to get carried away. Egypt Station has been getting very good reviews, and the question is whether this is reliable testimony or the usual hyperbole. Let’s investigate…
