Starting with a four-song blast from Utrecht, the sound is pretty good and the band builds up quite a head of steam, culminating in a speedy take of Shine On. For the following selection we are back in the UK at Brighton, a very slight drop-off sonically, but more than good enough for release. An early go at Never which was on the next LP starts things off with pounding drums and the slow burning but eventually explosive Se Dest is for me the pick of this lot.
Lots of crowd noise and en francais stage announcements from Chadwick. It is a shame that they never really capitalised on this success, though they did score some hits with Fontana, the fact that Shine On was their biggest underlines how they never really escaped from the shadow of their early glory.
With this new edition I would have thought there is everything here a HOL fan could wish for, with the demos, rarities and BBC stuff giving an alternative view of the band and exploring avenues not really pursued by the band on their official recordings. This collection includes a very thorough history of the band in an extensive and illuminating sleeve note by Neil Taylor, with contributions from band members.
All things considered, a handsome presentation — and a damn good listen too. The House Of Love are on Facebook here. All words by Ian Canty — see his author profile here. The Paris tracks came from a gig at La Cigale in the Pigalle district. JC was the headline act but HoL blew him off stage. It was their night. They had just finished a UK tour three day days earlier and this gig was a stormer. One of the few live performances where their version of Wanna be your Dog was captured.
It was a great night. I have heard this box set and just purchased it. It sounds so good that I listened to four of the five discs in a row without ever having heard or heard of the band before. I then watched the interview on Cherry Red T. I would say that the box set is essential because some of the demos and alternates are better than the released versions which are not bad either.
The whole things flows. Nough said. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
