One of the UK's hardest working groups, The Feelgoods formed in 1971 on their native Canvey Island beside the Thames estuary. This release is covering the full history of the band so far, along with a new recording. It's a rendition of Willie Dixon's 'You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover' which Bo Diddley made his own on the Chess label. This double album is a fitting way to herald half a century of one of the truly great British bands.
Theirs is a remarkable story. Fronted by singer and harmonica player Lee Brilleaux and guitarist-extraordinaire Wilko Johnson, they made their name in the music pubs of London establishing their status as a must-see act.
Starting in the 1970s the group was propelled to chart success with the incendiary songs of Wilko Johnson and following that period with Gypie Mayo now on guitar, the top 10 single - Milk and Alcohol.
The 1980s found a mature Lee Brilleaux covering a broad spectrum of songs, and today the band perform all over the world and continue to delight audiences everywhere they go.

How many more trips to the well? If you’re a Dr Feelgood fan you’ll be getting a bit jaded now by the amount of times the same stuff can be repackaged and rereleased. Usually, there’s an bit of a rarity thrown into sweeten the deal and make it just about worth the purchase price. Not this time. Adding tracks from the current lineup sours the deal and in no way do I think they should be mixed and matched with the Brilleaux content - it just doesn’t work. It’s a totally different band without Brilleaux. Pete Gage just about pulled it off and to be fair to him ‘Going Out West’ is the best post-Brilleaux track by a country mile. (To be absolutely fair, it’s better than some of the later Brilleaux led stuff). I just don’t know what to make of the Kane stuff to be honest - it’s flat and it’s never really felt like Feelgood - not to me anyway. I’m minded of Wilko’s comment in his Autobiography where he says he saw the current lineup and thought they were ‘tragic’. I know they balk at the term ‘tribute band’ but that’s really all they are without an original band member and a sound that doesn’t come close.
There are far better Feelgood compilations out there. Probably the best is All Through The City (with Wilko 1974-1977) - get that and you won’t be disappointed.
na płycie brak jest opisu, które utwory są typu live, bo dla mnie psują one charakter składanki. płytę polecam zbigniew. Natomiast samo załatwienie realizacji zamówienia jest super2.
