Description
Looking Back - Living The Years is a best of compilation encapsulating singles from the forty year career of supergroup Mike + The Mechanics. Starting with their debut hit 'Silent Running' the tracklist showcases the band's biggest hits - featuring Grammy Nominated 'All I Need is a Miracle,' Ivor Novello Award winning and Grammy nominated 'The Living Years,' the international smash hit 'Over My Shoulder,' through to their final and fifth top 10 UK album. This compilation features vocals from all Mike + The Mechanics vocalists through the years - Paul Young (the singer of Sad Café and NOT the pop / soul solo artist), Paul Carrack, Andrew Roachford, and Tim Howar - and is by far the most comprehensive 'best of' from the legendary band to date.

Not having the original All I Need Is A Miracle is awful.

Also, they mention all the singers except Paul Carrack?

What clowns slapped this together?

The band, to coincide with their forthcoming tour.

If we don't get a better description from the label, and it's really bothering you guys, I'll just rewrite it myself and maybe even put PAUL CARRACK in allcaps to showcase him (since he's my favourite Mechanics singer).

Nothing I can do about the track selection, though.

The label has kindly provided an updated description (which does mention Paul Carrack), along with this trailer:
