Wreckless Eric - Big Smash. Dble CD. (Stiff - CDSEEZ21) Big Smash’ is a double CD compilation of the first two Stiff albums and a single album compilation released by Epic in the US. Effectively a label ‘Best Of’, this is the first ever release on CD, including the incredibly rare ‘A Little Bit More’ (recorded for the original album sessions) and two live Australian b-sides. All tracks have been digitally remastered and, as ever, Eric has provided a fairly off the wall commentary in his new sleeve notes.Housed in an attractive slipcase.

Wreckless Eric - Almost A Jubilee. CD. (Hux Records - HUX039) Wreckless Eric recorded his first Peel session in 1977, when his band included Ian Dury on drums and Davey Payne on sax. 25 years later, Eric made a solo, acoustic appearance live on the Jonathan Ross show on Radio 2. This album features both of these performances, plus the best of Eric's BBC sessions recorded in between. That includes a second appearance on the Peel show, plus sessions recorded for the Saturday Live programme, Mark Radcliffe & Andy Kershaw's Radio 3 show. Eric appears here under a variety of guises, and the 'Len Bright Combo' tracks may be of particular interest to collectors. Records by this band are highly sought after and, as Eric says in his liner notes, this session was recorded while they were at their peak. This album was compiled by Eric himself, from the dozen or so available BBC sessions. He also wrote the extensive liner notes and contributed all the photographs for the booklet.
