Album Description CD Digi-Pak. Reissue of 1978 album which was released in the US as Pure Pop for Now People. Nick Lowe is an English singer-songwriter, bass guitarist and producer who records and performs in a number of different musical styles. He began his recording career in 1966 as a member of Kippington Lodge, founded with his friend Brinsley Schwarz. Lowe's best-known songs from the Brinsley Schwarz era are 'What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love, and Understanding' which was a major hit for Elvis Costello in 1979, and 'Cruel to Be Kind' a song the other band members rejected but was later a solo hit for Lowe. After leaving Brinsley Schwarz in the mid-1970s, Lowe began playing in Rockpile with Dave Edmunds. In August 1976, Lowe released 'So It Goes' b/w 'Heart of the City'. 20 tracks. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA Few More Songs Please G.C. | Potomac, MD USA | 01/30/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Because I had the initial issue of Jesus of Cool on CD I was looking forward to getting an updated copy with upgraded sound. The sound is a little clearer but not to the extent that it has been with other CD's when a proper remastering has been done. I guess I was expecting a little more of a boost sound-wise I always thought Lowe's early work could use it. I also do not tend to like digipaks though this one is pretty good. However, there is a little bit of difficulty accessing the CD as the packaging for the CD is similar to an LP sleeve. The main problem is the fit is kind of tight. My primary issue is that I had hoped a few more songs would have been added to this release. The downloads were nice, but since the CD is 62 minutes there is room for more tracks. For instance, we have "Rollers Show" but not its "companion" song "Bay City Rollers We Love You." "Let's Go To The Disco" and "Fool Too Long" should have also been included. Heck I even would have liked to have "American Squirm" but I figure that will wind up on 'Labour of Lust' whenever that is reissued. My review does not detract from the music which is great. This barely made a ripple in 1978 because it was lost among 'Saturday Night Fever' and the whole disco era. I'm glad to see Nick getting his due." Nick Lowe is the greatest G. Gfroerer | Redwood Shores, CA USA | 08/30/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "When I first heard So it Goes on the Bay Area's KSAN, I was hooked. I had my sister visiting London, get me the single and the LP. Nick Lowe rules."
