Glass & Never Told A Soul - Released 7th September
Category: Music

During the heyday of the Straits, I somehow found the time to release two solo albums, Glass and Never Told A Soul. Consisting of all songs written by me, they also included performances from some of my friends and colleagues at the time. Mark played guitar on much of both records, as likewise did Jerry Donahue. Both Guy Fletcher and Alan Clark lent their hands to the keyboard parts and Chris White guested on sax.

They were both well received and sold across the world for a number of years but recently have been unavailable, except for changing hands for ridiculously large sums online. Now all that is set to change. I negotiated the rights back from Phonogram and am reissuing them on CD, with the original artwork, on the Creek Records label.

The full track listing for both CDs is as follows:

Glass: High Stakes, I Want To See The Moon, Papermen, All I Want Is You , The World Is Made Of Glass, Red Turns To Blue, Let's Dance, She Wants Everything, Star For Now.....

Never Told A Soul: Boy With Chinese Eyes, The Night Caf

That's great. I had 'Glass' on cd, but only had NTAS on vinyl.
I'll definately buy it on cd.

Thanks for the news Slavi.

Cheers   BBB
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles.

I have both, Never told a sould was a beaty, but I dislike the production, specially Phil Palmer guitar that sound pretty weird.
You might get lucky, now and then

I have both, but both bought used on ebay.    I'll probably buy them again--after all the GL stuff dies down and my visa card is healthy again.
But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best
To get along

 :) ;) :D I have both those also. Pity he didn't get Mark to play on a few more tracks (from our perspective). Spose he didn't want it to sound too much like Dire Straits. Then again he would have sold three times as many.  ::)
