Straight Eight - No Noise From Here/shufflencut/straight To Heart - Music CD

Digitally remastered two CD set containing a trio of albums by the British guitar rock band plus bonus tracks. There are many bands whose history has been dogged by bad luck, bad management, missed opportunities, disastrous recording sessions and death. Straight Eight had all of these in abundance but still managed to release three critically acclaimed albums in the period 1978 to 1982 before calling it a day. Formed in 1976 the band released their debut single "Modern Times" in 1978 on Pete Townshend's independent label Eel Pie Records as a taster to their first album No Noise From Here. After three decades Angel Air release all three original albums on CD with liner notes by legendary music journo Peter Makowski' who was working for Pete Townshend at the time and was responsible for getting the band signed to his label. This triumvirate of releases features their now much sought after single "Spread It Around", which was produced by Pete Townshend (who plays on it) and other rarities.
