Description
Kirsty MacColl remains a hugely-missed talent, no matter how much time elapses since her tragic death in December 2000. Her sharply observed lyrics and wonderful melodies sound as fresh today as when they were written and recorded. Following her chart successes in the mid-80s, Kirsty signed to Virgin Records and made two albums – “Kite” (1989) and “Electric Landlady” (1991). Both albums were produced by her husband Steve Lillywhite, and feature a galaxy of musical collaborators, including Johnny Marr, David Gilmour, Mark Nevin, Pete Glenister, Elliott Randall and the cream of the UK’s session musicians and New York’s top Latin musicians. This annotated 4 CD + DVD media book set gathers together the two albums and seven promo videos that Kirsty made during this period, along with thirty-three rare non-album b-sides and 12” mixes. The DVD also includes the full 18 minute EPK made for the release of “Electric Landlady”, which features interview sections.

I have the lovely posthumous 3cd anthology - i'll need to carefully consider this. I miss her musings.

Loved Kirsty MacColl, but this is a very odd set. I'll have to see if there is enough on here that I'm missing to take the plunge, but I'm leaning against it.

If the price is right I'll be in for this.

An odd set indeed. What we're basically getting here is two albums and their assorted b-sides, plus a DVD. Most long-term fans will already have most of the audio, and it's hard to imagine newbies shelling out for a boxed set. This would be nice to have but I'm probably going to pass.
