Topic: Dead Like Harry before Dead Like Harry
Not sure whether this is a question or not...maybe it's just a personal observation.
I notice that DLH say they were formed in 2007.
Now, I know and you know, that DLH appeared way before then and that there are two albums to prove it.
But, the first one 'Stories from the Cellar had quite a different line up and 'Red Dress' was not quite the line up it is now.
Both albums are markedly different and both contain excellent songs with great originality.
But DLH now treat KTJOGL as their debut album (not forgetting WWW17 as a taster!) and it suddenly dawned on me......
I revisited Red Dress the other day and the shift forward to KTJOGL from that album is phenomenal. DLH have found their style and they wouldn't have found it without all that had gone on before. Any newcomer to DLH must leap straight in with KTJOGL.
I'm glad DLH didn't change their name to reflect the 'new band'..the previous albums all give a clue to what was coming.
It all makes sense to me ...am I right? (I guess that is the question )
Having said this I would like to hear 'Shapes on the Ceiling' and 'Set me Free' receive a new makeover..... just like 'Watching Your Eyes'.
You see, I can't let go of the past
...but without it we wouldn't have the band it is now... and still early days!!!!
KTJOGL is a classic album and deserves so much.
