Customer Reviews
Lindisfarne at their Best!
"Fog on the Tyne" was Lindisfarne's second album originally released on Charisma records in 1971. It contains their first single-hit "Meet Me on the Corner", and the album itself spent many weeks in the charts. It's popularity even brought their first album "Nicely out of Tune" back into the charts. Interesting that their second hit single "Lady Eleanor" was taken from their great debut-album.
Though "Meet Me on the Corner" was written by Rod Clements, it is still lead singer and guitarist Alan Hull who is the dominating personality with his great songs like "January Song", "Peter Brophy Don't Care", "City Song" and "Passing Ghost".
Compared to their debut, the overall feeling on this album is more acoustic and though many songs are up-beat tempo, there is a very relaxed and pleasant feel to the album.
The two bonus-tracks are great additions; especially Alan Hull's fine B-side "No Time to Lose".
Like their debut "Nicely Out of Tune" , this is one of my all-time favourite albums.
Great sound on this new remastered CD release.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic sounds from the 70's revisited. Remember the 3 day working week and the power cuts? This album will bring it all back to you. Having seen Lindisfarne over the years in their Christmas Shows when they reformed, their fun and laughter is encapsulated in some of the songs whilst the haunting melodies of Lady Eleanor evoke memories of musk oil and incense sticks. Beautiful on CD. No longer stuck in the attic on vinyl.
Fantastic
Beautifully composed a diverse album, which ranges from the up-beat folk-acoustic classic "meet me on the corner" to the beautiful "January Song". This album offers some of the best acoustic sounds and instrumental creativity, a definite classic. I would recommend to anyone who liked the first album or just anyone who likes good music
