Nowadays to last even a few years in the music business is a thing in itself. But when you have a group who existance has spanned 29 years, that is something to celebrate! And that is what this recent release from Mike & The Mechanics is.
It’s available as two different version although they have one CD in common: the singles. It brings together the singles for the various albums together in one recording. Some songs are more familiar that others depending on where you come in on the 29 years but it also includes a brand new song (most likely as a bit of a promotional track for the album) When My Feet Don’t Touch The Ground. For those who may have only seen the most recent line up including Andrew Roachford & Tim Howar, this give a chance to hear the originals and appreciate that they do the song justice live while others may just wish to reminisce on what was and what it is now.
As we mentioned, there is a another version of the album that includes a CD of rarities, B-sides & unreleased recordings (although from what we’ve seen, the only unreleased track appears to be the first on this CD One By One)
We guess it depends on how long you’ve been a fan of the group whether or not it’s worth the purchase. For some it might just be an introductory album, or for those who have been in from 2011’s release The Road, a history lesson. For those who have been there from the start, maybe nothing to see here maybe except for the second CD. Either way, we think it’s a nice little collection to celebrate a history.
Rating: 5/5
