Cleaning Out the Ashtrays

Description

Product Description For singer/songwriter Lloyd Cole, now then is the time for `Cleaning Out the Ashtrays' - for sorting through dusty boxes of cassettes, DAT tapes and CDs in his Easthampton hideaway, to take stock and find all those lost songs; half remembered sessions, much-missed fellow-musicians and gifted co-producers. A goldmine of music from 21 years as a solo artist. Here, then, are 59 - count `em - nuggets from the Cole vaults. A 4xCD boxset bursting with unreleased songs, alternate versions, rare b-sides, cover versions (Lou Reed, Marc Bolan and Leonard Cohen songs), and a few tracks that the record companies - and on occasion, even Lloyd himself - just didn't get at the time. Cole has researched and compiled the `Cleaning Out the Ashtrays' project himself - now, all of us can share in the riches that lay hidden inside that dusty old boxes. Review Disc: 1 1. L Word, The 2.
