    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2018



    • 50 track 4CD clamshell box set rounding up guitar supremo Chris Spedding’s time with RAK Records between 1975-1980.



    • Includes the hit single ‘Motor Bikin’’ which reached 14 in the UK charts in 1975.



    • Also features one of the first UK Punk singles, Chris’s ‘Pogo Dancing’ which he recorded with The Vibrators.


    Disc 1 is his self-titled debut for RAK which featured the aforesaid ‘Motor Bikin” plus the ‘Guitar Jamboree’, ‘Jump In My Car’ and ‘New Girl In The Neighbourhood’ singles and was produced by Mickie Most.


    The second CD contains the ‘Hurt’ album from 1977, produced by Chris Thomas, and which features the ‘Get Outa My Pagoda’ and ‘Silver Bullet’ singles. Pretender Chrissie Hynde guests on backing vocals whilst seminal session players Herbie Flowers, Clem Cattini and Ray Cooper provide the musical backing.


    ‘Guitar Graffiti’ is Disc 3 , self-produced and featuring the ‘Video Life’, ‘Bored Bored’ and ‘Gunfight’ singles (the latter as a bonus track).


    The final disc is the ‘I’m Not Like Everybody Else’ album from 1980, once again produced by Mickie Most and including the single ‘The Crying Game’.


    The booklet features detailed liner notes by 70s expert Phil Hendricks and comes with pictures of all the relevant singles. Each of the CD’s comes in a card wallet depicting the original LP artwork.


    As well as being the “go to guy” for bands as diverse as Roxy Music, the Sex Pistols and the Wombles, Chris leads the reformed Sharks who also feature Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook and original Sharks vocalist Snips who contributed co-writes on many of the tracks on this box set.
