Release Notes:
--------
As the bassist and primary songwriter for Brinsley Schwarz, Nick Lowe was one of
the catalysts of the pub rock phenomenon in the early 1970s. As the co-founder
and house producer at Stiff Records, he would help create the blueprint for the
modern indie rock label and usher in British punk and new wave, helming historic
recordings for The Damned, Elvis Costello, and The Pretenders. Here, his
landmark second solo album Labour of Lust gets the deluxe reissue treatment,
sporting an expanded 12pg. booklet with period photos, new essays and artwork by
groundbreaking graphic artist Barney Bubbles. The reissue also includes Nick's
biggest US hit "Cruel To Be Kind," the originally U.K.-only "Endless Grey
Ribbon" and U.S.-only "American Squirm" plus bonus B-side "Basing Street." LOL
is the only of Lowe's solo albums to hold the distinction of featuring Nick's
Rockpile cohorts Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams on every track.
Originally released in 1979 and out of print for nearly twenty years, the album
has been remastered from the original source, reintroducing this masterpiece to
a new generation of pop music obsessives.
