Customer Reviews

Electric Songlady
I first bought the original Electric Landlady in 1991 after hearing "He never mentioned Love" on Radio 4's Pick of the week and have been a Kirsty fan ever since.
It is great to hear the shiny new remastered version and it remains a fabulous album with Kirsty trying a variety of styles that link it with the later "Tropical Brainstorm".
"Walking Down Madison" is a fabulous dance track which I think was Kirsty's biggest hit in the States.
"All I ever wanted" is a typically sparky song about a failing relationship and deserved to be a hit.
"Children of the Revolution" is a beautiful but bitter "political" song co written by Johnny Marr.
My Affair is Kirsty's introduction to Latin music with a fantastic arrangement by Angel Fernandez.
"Lying Down" is a dark angry song with superb guitar work by Elliot Randall.
"He Never Mentioned Love" is a wickedly witty song about a below par boyfriend. One of Kirty's funniest songs.
"The Hardest Word" is a moving elegy to her late Father co written with her brother Hamish MacColl.
"My Way Home" is a classic stunning Kirsty song co written with one of her regular musicians Pete Glenister.
The last original song is "The One and Only" a fabulous haunting collaboration with The Pogues.
5 bonus tracks have been added to the remastered edition. Although these tracks are generally not as strong as the original album, her collaboration with Billy Bragg on "Darling Lets Have Another Baby" is great fun. The alternative spooky ambient version of "Walking Down Madison" is outstanding and nicely brings the CD full circle.
The only grumble is the omission of the names of the many musician which are all listed on the original CD.
The remastering is brilliantly done. This is an essential album for any Kirsty MacColl fan.
