Válogatás az 1978-1991 között készített felvételekből.
12 of the best songs this British new wave/ pop group cut for the Chiswick label in the late ’70s/ early ’80s, including the top 20 ‘Driver’s Seat’ (featured in the hit 1997 film ‘Boogie Nights’), plus ‘Poison Pen Mail’ and ‘Ride Blue Divide’. The tracks span 1978-1991. 1999 release. Sniff ‘n’ the Tears was formed through the partnership of Luigi Salvoni and myself in 1978. Lou and his band, Moon, had played on some demos for me a year or so earlier. He took these demos to Ted Carroll at Chiswick Records and we were given the go ahead to make an album. The album was Fickle Heart, and the first single Driver’s Seat. To everyone’s amazement „Driver’s Seat” became a critical and commercial success around the world.
Since that time things refuse to stand still. Driver’s Seat was used in two highly successful advertising campaigns in Holland and Germany, catapulting it into the charts in these countries, reaching the No 1 spot in Holland in 1992. I went on to make a couple of solo albums, „City Without Walls” in 1985 and „Kettle Drum Blues” in 1987, and a Sniff album called „No Damage Done” in 1992. Unable to resist the lure of music making I’m working on a new record in my own home studio, enjoying the wonders of digital technology. The new album will be available in the new year. From the various musicians who passed through the ranks of Sniff ‘n’ the Tears, guitarist Les Davidson has played on some of the new stuff. I still speak to Luigi from time to time and we have remained friends. Nick South is working as a musician in Los Angeles. Loz Netto and Mick Dyche, are as far as I know, still playing. Mick Taylor fell for a girl in Hamburg on one of our tours and now lives there with her. Alan Feldman has been working with Lou and Noel McCalla, and Jamie Lane is now a producer. Life goes on.
