Haircut 100: Pelican West - 40

Product Information

In 2004, all of the group's ex-members reunited for an episode of VH1's Bands Reunited series. The group has seriously discussed the idea of reuniting to record a new album, with Heyward being quoted as saying "We're all older and have commitments but wouldn't it be good to dedicate two weeks of our lives to creating a follow-up to Pelican West. It would have that magic because nobody as a player has gone off the boil." The album was produced by Bob Sargeant, best known for his work with The Beat, Breathe and many a John Peel Session. Haircut 100 utilized horns like nothing I've heard in pop music before or since, and they gave the world this unique and brassy record before their star set forever into obscurity. The album has been remastered and expanded for a 40th anniversary reissue and 4CD and 4LP vinyl box sets will be available, initially with prints signed by all members of the band (750 copies worldwide).

Demon Records are delighted to announce the release of Pelican West 40, a celebration edition of Haircut One 100’s much-loved debut album, released with full cooperation of the band. SQ ? If you read the comments below 50% say they’re happy with the mastering, and 50% aren’t impressed. So, Im going by my ears here - it sounds fine to me. I’m not hearing any clipping or loudness. I’ve certainly heard worse.

I visit this blog so many time,because every time something new,and I read all articale your blog, very interesting.Percussionist turned lead vocalist Mark Fox has had an interesting time of it since Haircut 100. He joined Echo & The Bunnymen as their drummer when Pete De Freitas left the band at the start of 1986. By September of the same year, however, De Freitas rejoined the group. (De Freitas was actually killed 3 years later in a motorcycle accident). By then Mark Fox was working for the huge BMG music publishing group. He was the A & R man who Australia's Natalie Imbruglia approached when she was broke after spending a couple of years trying to "make it" in London following her role in Neighbours. It was Fox who she approached. He hooked her up with former Cure bassist Phil Thornally and the trio recorded "Torn". The rest, as they say, is history. As far as we know, Mark Fox is still a creative director with BMG in the UK."
