Kevin Coyne: Blame It On The Night, 2CD

Cherry Red is delighted to announce the latest release for the rejuvenated Turpentine Records, the label founded by the late singer-songwriter, author and artist KEVIN COYNE.

Originally issued in 1974, BLAME IT ON THE NIGHT was Kevin’s third solo LP and his second for Virgin, as the follow-up to the acclaimed Marjory Razor Blade.

Long unavailable on vinyl, despite demand the LP has never been released on CD!

 

This deluxe 2-CD edition has been re-mastered by Tony Cousins, who played bass on both the original album and Marjory Razor Blade.

 

In addition to the original album, Disc 1 adds the single B-side ‘Queenie Queenie Caroline’, an alternative studio version of ‘Poor Swine’ from the Benelux-only LP ‘Let’s Have A Party’ and the soundtrack to the promotional film ‘Kevin Coyne at Hyde Park’, featuring live versions of ‘Poor Swine’ and ‘Marjory Razorblade Suite’.

 

Disc 2 boasts an entire, hitherto unheard early rendition of the album that includes between song chatter, alternate vocals and a different version of ‘Poor Swine’, along with the added bonus of three songs from the sessions which didn’t make the final cut.

 

The booklet features extensive sleeve-notes, including an exclusive interview with Tony Cousins, a piece on Kevin by producer Steve Verroca, track-by-track analysis by Kevin in interview in 1974, a fly-on-the-wall look at recording the album, and detailed notes from Kevin’s son Eugene Coyne.

 

Includes rare and previously unseen photos and cuttings of Kevin Coyne from the period.
