Out of print title in excellent condition
2006 unplugged/acoustic recordings of classic Hello Sailor songs. Hello Sailor songs had emotional depth and you always sensed this was something they had lived, believed and sang because they had no choice but to.
And that is what makes this new album of their older material such an important event in their long career.
Here you may hear Dave McArtney, Graham Brazier and Harry Lyon reconsidering those great songs from their back-catalogue - and some like Billy Bold and Six Piece Chamber associated with Graham’s solo years - and bring them to life in a new, stripped back way. Songs which rocked pubs now breathe a little more easily, are emphasised slightly differently, and come up shining again.
Now Latin Lover is given a polished and sultry Cuban-style shuffle, there are touches of country guitars in some places, New Tattoo is more melancholy and reflective of its lyrics - new versions of New Zealand classics !

Lying in the Sand
