The ones that got away



Updates for our discography/guide to the music of Lloyd Cole
These discs represent live recordings and sessions . The small ensemble recordings capture the touring band that Cole has been using to tour the Broken Record LP and provide a set that illustrates how that dynamic works in relation to some of the more familiar songs in his set list. The other two collections are a very good example of what makes LC a fantastic live performer, possibly better than any other live recordings from an artist working in this genre in terms of passion, sound quality and the warmth of the atmosphere in general. There is not a great deal to say here about the songs themselves that can't be found elsewhere in these pages, but it is well worth having these sometimes surprising versions in your collection . Track lists and release dates are supplied,along with some comments from LC on the Small ensemble release.

Lloyd Cole comments on this album: "12 songs recorded live in the studio the day after our debut 2010 performance. Is this an album or not? I’m not sure, it was recorded so that we would have something by the small ensemble to sell at our January 2010 concerts; a souvenir, but it turned out better than we expected, and folk who weren’t at the shows expressed interest in getting their hands on it. So, here it is.
Lloyd, guitar, banjo Matt Cullen – guitar, banjo Mark Schwaber – guitar, mandolin Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mark Alan Miller.
No overdubs.
