Love & Money reissue

[budaniel]

According to Amazon, the Love & Money album "Strange Kind of Love" is being reissued on April 20th. I can't seem to find any other info on it through a google search, so I don't even know what label it's on or what the track list is.

Formed in 1985 by James Grant and Paul McGeechan, both
formerly of Scottish cult indie guitar band Friends Again , they
joined forces with bassist Bobby Paterson and drummer Stuart
Kerr to become Love and Money. They took on a more rock and
soulful approach to music.
Signing to Phonogram, they recorded their debut album Love
And Money with production by Tom Dowd. This album gained
an immediate following and set up the momentum for their
follow up album.
The band spent most of 1987 demoing this, their follow up
album Strange Kind of Love . This was overseen by Steely Dan
producer Gary Katz and following Kerr s departure, Toto s Jeff
Porcaro standing in on drums. Receiving mass critical acclaim
the album took them to a new level of success on both sides of
the ocean with the album going platinum in the UK.
The band went on to record two further albums and cult
success before calling it a day in 1994. James Grant has since
released a number of acclaimed solo albums, with his current
album Strange Flowers being his most upbeat album since
Strange Kind of Love .
This long overdue reissue adds 6 previously unreleased 1987
demos from the bands own archive with sleeve notes written
by producer Gary Katz and recollections from James Grant and
Paul McGeechan.Formed in 1985 by James Grant and Paul McGeechan, both

Thanks for the info.

I have the cd single Jocelyn Square. I must say that they were a darker version of Living In A Box. Strange Kind Of Love is worth exploring.

I got into these guys a few years ago via an 80s compilation which included "Jocelyn Square". Since picking up the entire cd when it was last in print, it has become one of my very favorite 80s albums...and I have a lot of 'em!

Actaully what's worth searching for is the best of cd "Cheap Pearls & Whiskey Dreams". You can download on Amazonuk but in the US it's awfully expensive !
