CD (Item 611654) Blanco Y Negro/Edsel (UK), 1988 — Condition: New Copy

Everything But The Girl – smack dab in the middle of a great run during the 80s! The style here moves a bit more towards conventional pop – but there's a depth that still lives up to the group's initial genius – songwriting that's gently expressive, but never overdone – and backings that still steer clear of most of the clunkiest moments that were often holding back other groups at the time. The rich background of Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt is what really makes the whole thing sparkle – that care for a song that they had right from their solo starts – still very much intact here – on titles that include "Love Is Here Where I Live", "These Early Days", "I Always Was Your Girl", "Goodbye Sunday", "Shadow On A Harvest Moon", "Lonesome For A Place I Know", and "Apron Strings". 2CD version features tracks from singles that include – "Home From Home", "I Don't Want To Talk About It", "Another Day Another Dollar", "No Place Like Home", and "Dyed In The Grain" – plus demos of 8 more tracks from the album – and a bonus outtake of "Apron Strings (alt film version)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
