Johnson ,Greg: Vine Street Stories | |
|||||||
|
|||||||||

Out of print ,secondhand cd in excellent condition. The 3rd album 'Vine Street Stories' is generally regarded as Greg's most accomplished recording and contains the hits 'Dont Wait Another Day', 'Come On', 'You Stay Out Of Your Life' and 'if I Swagger'.Vine Street Stories was a turning point. For a start, it sold more but it also represented a lyrical cool that reflected Greg's other job at that time which was hanging out in Auckland nightclubs playing and writing with jazz ensemble Bluespeak. Vine Street Stories was a frustrating album to record and financial constraints dictated that the album be recorded over a long period of time in a variety of studios.It wasn't until EMI New Zealand came in with the final chunk of budget that the album could be completed. While half the album was recorded in Wellington and Auckland, the other half was recorded at Vine Street where far too much money was spent on cheap red wine, the heater put the piano out of tune, the producer Nigel Stone developed claustrophobia and the band line-up was once again tested. The album was definitely a product of a special time! 1. Come On 2. Sun Beat Down 3. Don't Wait Another Day 4. You Stay Out Of Your Life 5. Suddenly Cold 6. Screaming Inside 7. Turn It In 8. If I Swagger 9. Those Aren't Real Tears 10. Beautiful Chain 11. Pleasure And Overdose 12. Bent 13. Makes Me Wanna Fly |
