WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
· Graham Day is one of the most amazing songwriters of his generation, blessed with an incredible voice, and he plays a mean guitar as well. His work with the Prisoners has been rightly hailed in many quarters, with Uncut magazine declaring their “Last Fourfathers” album as one of the most influential of the 1980s. Graham has continued to produce stunning work with all his incarnations since the Prisoners split, and some of the finest came with his mid-90s outfit, Planet.""
"
· Planet were a power trio who recorded an album and a handful of singles for Acid Jazz’s rock subsidiary Focus. It was a bold attempt to record in Graham’s analogue manner, but with a more contemporary feel. Whilst some of the more hard- edged rock influences of the day are definitely present, Graham’s songwriting is rooted in the classic 60s influences that inform all. His voice on these recordings is astounding; deep and soulful.""
"
· This CD contains all the tracks that the band recorded for Focus, including the whole of the “Splitting The Humidity” LP; four tracks that were exclusive to singles; and the only remix that was attempted on the band. The album contains powerful performances such as the opening track ‘Sky’, ‘Confusion’, ‘Shimmer’ and a magnificent version of Traffic’s ‘40000 Headmen’. The singles include the awesome ‘Ride’, which sounds as if it could have come from a Prisoners session.""
"
· This releases fits perfectly into Big Beat’s reissue programme of Prisoners-related material. As with the other releases It contains new comprehensive sleeve notes featuring an in-depth interview with Graham Day."
