Description
The material in this 4CD set covers the Dr Feelgood frontman, Lee Brilleaux’s 20 years with the band from 1974 to his early death in 1994. Including his early recordings with Wilko Johnson, through the second line-up with Gypie Mayo and then through the 1980s and 90s to his last live album ‘Down At The Doctors’.

Dr Feelgood was - is - ‘music for people who want to have a good time’, as guitarist Wilko succinctly put it. And Lee Brilleaux knew how to have a good time. He knew how to make other people have a good time too, and this was, to his mind, one of the most important and enduring elements of Dr Feelgood. This was the point. Take people out of their lives for a bit. Put on a show. Make them happy. Give them an escape. Dr Feelgood were providing a public service and this was something Brilleaux took seriously, right up until the end of his short, fast, full life.

More than two decades on from Brilleaux’s death, this singular rock ‘n’ roll gent is still loved, and is still looked up to as an arbiter of class and style. His personal legacy goes beyond the music he leaves behind, but it’s a great place to start, and it’s a thrilling place to return to.

This release coincides with the upcoming April release of the softback edition book on the life of Brilleaux called: ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Gentleman’ The adventures of Dr Feelgood’s iconic frontman.

93 Dr Feelgood recordings over 4CDs covering Lee Brilleaux and the bands recording career with United Artists, Liberty, Chiswick, Stiff & Grand.

× Let’s Have A Party – From the ‘Private Practice’ album sessions produced by Martin Rushent.
× Poison Ivy – From the 1991 Primo Sessions produced by Will Birch.

48 Page booklet containing:
× An extensive sleeve note by Zoe Howe, author of the Lee Brilleaux biography ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Gentleman’.
