Album notes
Disc One of the 2002 remastered edition of LOVE AND ROCKETS includes the original album plus four unreleased tracks. Disc Two includes the SWING EP, a bonus radio interview and additional live tracks. The bleep heard during the first track is not record company censorship, it was done intentionally by the band. Love And Rockets: Daniel Ash (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, saxophone, keyboards, bass); David J (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, harmonica, bass); Kevin Haskins (piano, keyboards, vibraphone, drums, percussion, samples). Additional personnel includes: John Fryer (string synthesizer); Lorna Wright, Sylvia Mason James (background vocals). Principally recorded at Blackwing Studio, London, England in 1989. LOVE AND ROCKETS proves that the lowest common denominator still offers the quickest path to the American public's hearts and wallets. "So Alive" and "Motorcycle" are so unbearably catchy that even Anglophobes found themselves buying ten copies of this album. After years of low-key success, Love and Rockets certainly deserved a little pocket money. But the hits are actually the weaker numbers on this strong set. Don't overlook the crunchy and loopy "**** (Jungle Law), the Woody Guthrie-on-acid blues stomp of "Bound for Hell," or the Love and Rockets-by-numbers "No Big Deal." The band brings in strings for "Rock and Roll Babylon," a tribute of sorts to dearly departed rock heroes, while Daniel Ash blows saxophone to demonstrate his versatility as an artiste. LOVE AND ROCKETS is a little confusing, but it works. After this album, the band went on a five-year hiatus.
