The Legendary Lost Album
More Info
The Origins of Power Pop.
Remastered and pressed on Gold Vinyl. Includes printed inner sleeve.
In these songs youâll find the DNA of The Direct Hits. Although very Elvis Costello like in both style and vocal delivery, these early recordings, dating from 1979 show a remarkable pop sensibility that had come on leaps and bounds since the release of the bandâs first single, the now highly sought after âFashion Plagueâ b/w âCheamâ released a year prior to these being recorded. Songs like âWe broke up todayâ have all the hallmarks of classic merseybeat, while out and out power pop like âHoliday Shotsâ and âFool to fall in loveâ encapsulate perfectly the sheer exuberance of the genre.
More than a few steps ahead of several of their contemporaries, the bandâs built in tunesmiths Buckmaster and Swan were writing catchy songs that carried a powerful punch performed with the energy and excitement of the period. The Exits left behind a wonderful set of recordings that are worthy of a comprehensive vinyl retrospective release,
These recordings first saw the light of day on a CD only release back in 2007 when Cherry Red released the CD âThe Legendary Lost Exits albumâ through its Rev-Ola offshoot. Reportedly the band members were disappointed with the overall mix on the finished release for being a little Lo-Fi . There are no such issues with this specially remastered version for vinyl. The tracks sound fresh, punchy and full of annoyingly great hooks! We are delighted to bring you yet another great addition to our catalogue of long since undisturbed sleeping giants, the Exits, and their Legendary Lost album!
