Teaming up with former 2Tone labelmates Toby Lyons and Karl Shale ( The Swinging Cats ) for the band , The Colourfield was launched on the legendary UK TV music show The Tube with their debut single “ The Colourfield ” in January 1984 and followed up later with their second single “ Take .” Their debut album followed in early 1985 , which contained the hit single “ Thinking of You ,” as well as the subsequent single “ Castles In The Air .” Later in the year , they released a couple of non-album singles , “ I Can ’ t Get Enough of You Baby ” and “ Things Could Be Beautiful ” ( produced by longtime friend , musician / producer Ian Broudie ). By the time of their follow-up album , 1987 ’ s Deception , they had dropped to a duo . Launched with a cover of the Sly & The Stone classic “ Running Away ” and produced by Richard Gottehrer ( Blondie , Go Go ’ s , Scritti Politti ), the album fared less well , and its final single was a cover of the Bobby Hart / Tommy Boyce track “ She ,” made famous by the Monkees . Terry Hall passed away from cancer last December . This is a great tribute to this period of music . This RSD Black Friday release collects those singles and others on 140g Trans Blue vinyl . |

BUCKCHERRY Time Bomb ( Real Gone Music )
The last album with the original line-up ( plus guitarist Yogi Lonich ), 2001 ' s Time Bomb , showed that , for Buckcherry , there was no place to go but down . And we mean WAY down … lead singer Josh Todd could have won the award for Rock Star Least Likely to Survive the Year after this record came out . Tracks like " Slit My Wrists ," " Whiskey in the Morning ," and " Porno Star " capture and celebrate a lifestyle decadent even by the standards of the band ' s Sunset Strip stomping grounds . Yet , Todd and Buckcherry are still rockin ' over 20 years later ... and Time Bomb holds up with its post- AC / DC / Aerosmith / Guns
' N ' Roses / Mötley Crüe unholy racket . First
