Fronted by Mancunian
singer-songwriter Clive Gregson, Crewe-based band Any Trouble were signed to
Stiff Records in 1980 and touted by the music press as the next Elvis Costello
& The Attractions.
·
Any Trouble’s debut album Where Are All The Nice
Girls was critically acclaimed at the time. The band followed with a second
studio album, Wheels In Motion (1981). Stiff also circulated a promotional
in-concert album, Live At The Venue, which only enjoyed a commercial release in
Germany. The band then signed with EMI America before disbanding at the end of
1984.
·
Compiled with help from Clive Gregson and boasting
the involvement of all the band members, this definitive collection offers the
band’s complete Stiff recordings, as a comprehensive ‘Early Years’ package of
the band’s musical history across 1980 and 1981.
·
In addition to the three albums, the package also
includes myriad non-album A-sides and B-sides, including their pre-Stiff debut
single ‘Yesterday’s Love’. Many of these tracks are extremely hard-to-find on
CD now and Live At The Venue makes its CD debut (apart from a German CD reissue on Line in 1988).
·
Clive Gregson later launched a productive
collaboration with Christine Collister. In 2007, Any Trouble reunited with a
brand new album and Clive continues to enjoy critical and creative success as a
singer-songwriter to this day, releasing his thirteenth solo album This Is Now
in May 2013.
