Liverpool legend Pete Wylie delivers a raw and emotionally charged collection
of recordings on Songs of Strength & Heartbreak
Having risen to fame in the 1980's with The Mighty Wah! and hits like 'Story of The Blues' and 'Sinful', Wylie has grown a strong, cult fanbase over the years with his
passionate, anthemic songs of defance and vulnerability paired with biting lyrics.
After hearing the demos, Sony Records subsidiary Columbia signed Pete in the late
'90s, spending over a million pounds recording an album, only for it to remain on the
shelf and unreleased. Pete eventually got the rights back and released it on Castle
Communications in 2000.
However, for this deluxe release, Pete has decided to release the original demos for
the world to hear for the frst time and give the million-pound album away as a bonus.
The demos include three previously unheard tracks including a stunning cover of
Gilbert O'Sullivan's hit 'Alone Again (Naturally)'.
Remastered at AIR Mastering. The format is a gatefold digi-sleeve, including a booklet containing lyrics.
