The Life Of A Showgirl: Sweat And Vanilla Perfume (CD + Poster)

Long out of print and for the first time on one CD, Raven presents two classic albums by the highly regarded New York group STORIES – Stories (1972) and About Us (1973). Led by songwriters Michael Brown (who had already tasted fame with The Left Banke during the 1960s) and the golden-voiced Ian Lloyd, Stories brief but vibrant history is encapsulated in these two legendary records. The debut, Stories, combined the baroque intricacies of Brown’s former group, The Left Banke, with a contemporary rock aesthetic.

Their sound was still more pop than rock and comparisons with the Beatles, Badfinger and the Raspberries are inevitable. Includes the US Top 30 hit single ‘I’m Coming Home’. About Us is the band’s tour de force, full of masterful pop songs, straight ahead rock and classically inspired art-rock vignettes. It also contains their US #1 hit, ‘Brother Louie’, a ripping cover of the Hot Chocolate song. As a bonus we’ve added Stories rare, final single from 1974, ‘Another Love’, on CD for the first time. These recordings will appeal to fans of inventive and tuneful pop / rock melodies with power-pop influenced vocal harmonies and classical / baroque keyboard flourishes. With 77 minutes of superb quality audio, plus color booklet featuring detailed liner notes and period photos.
