Search - The Monochrome Set :: The Lost Weekend

The Monochrome Set defined themselves in the late ' '70s and '80s as England s wittiest troubadours, avoiding the sombre overtones of post-punk by penning songs that had a clean '60s pop sensibility, allied to vocalist and guitarist Bid s sandpaper-dry reflections on life and love. This CD documents the band s time at Blanco y Negro Records, the mini-major set up by Mike Alway (Cherry Red) and Geoff Travis (Rough Trade). All tracks have been digitally remastered from the original audio sources. Five bonus tracks are included, including additional mixes of the two singles housed on the album, Jacob s Ladder , the band s nearly hit , and Wallflower . Also includes selection of colour photography from the period.
