Phantoms [Import]

• Track Listing

Brit folk rock favorites Lindisfarne were an enduring chart act of the early '70s, yet prone to fragmentation. Splitting in 1973, co-founder Alan Hull forged a successful solo career with albums 'Pipedream' and 'Squire'. Whilst, by late 1977 the band was back in business again, Hull was busy heading a new band, Radiator with former members of Snafu and Ginger Baker's post-Cream group Air Force. With this lineup he would release Isn't It Strange, the majority of which was repackaged in 1979 for Phantoms - both for Elton John's Rocket Record Company. This first time CD reissue compiles these albums (removing most track duplication) and adding five bonus demos from 1975. The collection forms a lasting reminder of Hull's fluid, deceptively catchy, and pleasing melodies, and rich, deeply evocative phrasing and imagery.
