Box set of the Chrysalis years including the original unreleased Highlife album.Release date 2nd May 2011Press release :-Frankie Miller...That's Who! collects together the seven studio albums that Frankie recorded for Chrysalis Records between 1973 and 1980. Having collaborated with, or had his songs covered by, artists as diverse as Thin Lizzy, UFO, Robin Trower, Ray Charles, The Eagles, Bob Seger and Johnny Cash, among many others, this versatile singer and songwriter has successfully applied himself to everything from soul and blues, to hard rock and country, all with equal aplomb.This collection kicks off with his 1973 debut, Once In A Blue Moon, an album that firmly established the Glaswegian's songwriting and singing credentials, ably backed by Brinsley Schwarz. His 1974 follow up, High Life, was apparently remixed and released by Chrysalis without Frankie, or producer Allen Toussaint's consent; this four disc set includes the whole of the previously unreleased original mix, available for the first time. 1975's The Rock, inspired by Alcatraz prison close to where the album was recorded in San Francisco, was produced by Elliot Mazer, famed for his work with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, among others. The album features two of his best known tracks, 'A Fool In Love' and 'Ain't Got No Money'.1977's Full House was produced by Chris Thomas (Sex Pistols, Roxy Music, Pink Floyd), and features his singular take on John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy', as well as songs with long term collaborators Robin Trower and Free's Andy Fraser.With Jack Douglas at the helm, the harder rock of 1978's Double Trouble, should come as no surprise, not least for a guest appearance from Aerosmith's Steve Tyler, as well as a fruitful writing partnership with Paul Carrack (Ace, Squeeze & Mike + The Mechanics). 1979's Falling In Love (titled A Perfect Fit for its American release) features Frankie's biggest hit single, 'Darlin'', as well as his buoyant cover of Bob Marley's 'Is This Love'. 1980's Easy Money was his last long player for Chrysalis, bringing this set to a close. Also included, available on CD for the first time, are single edits for 'Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever' and 'I'm Old Enough', and ends with his version of Randy Newman's 'Sail Away'.Record Collector Review
