 Fear Of Flying. CD only |
Fear Of Flying - Colin Lloyd Tucker Colin's previous album has received some great reviews (see; Press Room) and many of you have sent us your own comments. Here are some of them: 'Magnificent'… 'grows with every play'…'played it all night'…'Put a smile back on my face!'…'the best one yet'…'weird and wonderful' Thanks to all of you who have mailed us with your comments, we hope you continue to enjoy this captivating disc.

 Head. 7inch Picture disc 45rpm |
Head - Colin Lloyd Tucker We are delighted to have discovered some copies of Colin's 1985 single 'Head' b/w. 'Sex Slave'. This long deleted seven-inch vinyl picture disc will also be of interest to fans of The Blockheads as it features Charley Chares (drums and backing vocals), Norman Watt Roy (bass) and Davey Payne (saxophone). Critically acclaimed at the time of its release (see Press Room) Head also features sitar virtuoso Clem Alford and contains some of Colin's most beguiling lyrics. Sex Slave is a tight funk workout set around Watt Roy's distinctive, nimble fingered bass playing.A true collectors item. We are happy to be able to offer this disc at a non-collectors price! |
 Deux Filles. CDR |
Deux Filles - Double Happiness Double Happiness was the follow up to the acclaimed Silence and Wisdom album. Although equally well received it had little promotion and a limited number of pressings were made. Many of you have e mailed us about this record and consequently a search for the master tapes was launched but to no avail. Help came in the shape of Charley Radtke in the U.S.A. He copied a near pristine disc onto CD using a Linn Sondek turntable and sent Colin the results. Colin did some further re-mastering in his own studio and the resulting CD is an excellent representation of the original vinyl album, cleaned up but retaining its analogue appeal. We are offering CDR copies of the album that come in a hand made package and are signed by Colin.These discs are copied at real time to avoid errors. |
 Bushtucker. CD only |
Bushtucker - Skyscraping The classic album made by Colin and Paddy Bush (brother of Kate Bush) in 1993 is now available from this site. These are American pressings on the Griffin label and come with slightly different packaging from the U.K. and Japanese versions. Track listing is identical worldwide. These albums are dispatched to you direct from the USA. |
 Toybox. CDR only |
Toybox - Colin Lloyd Tucker Colin's solo debut. Recorded in the late 1970's and never before available on CD. Apart from a guest vocal by Matt Johnson (The The) on one track this really is a solo recording with Colin performing all of the instrumentation and singing, engineering and producing the record! It has been one of the most requested re-issues and so has been re-mastered with bonus tracks and re-packaged with an informative booklet. The CDR comes signed by Colin. His two mini LPs from the 1980s, Mind Box and Head have also received the same treatment and will be available soon. |

Extract from Colin Lloyd Tucker Biography
Colin Lloyd Tucker has been performing and recording since the late seventies. He began his debut solo album (Toybox) aged 17, writing, producing and playing all the instruments himself. His record releases have been sporadic, his live performances rare and in these days of packaged pop he is not easy to pigeon hole. His diversity and scope bewilder major record labels. Unlike Matt Johnson ('The The') with whom he recorded three albums in the early eighties Colin did not sign a major deal. The record companies knew what they were getting with Matt. Colin was far less predictable. More of a musician's musician, his credits were known to the cognoscenti. On Kate Bush's "Red Shoes" his name mingles with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Prince.
In 1982 Tony Calder, ex-Rolling Stones Manager and Beatle publicist, saw teen-pop potential in Colin. His hair was styled and glossy pictures taken. He was described to the press as a "good looking, red headed lad with a cheerful, cheeky nature." Studios were booked and John Porter (Bryan Ferry's producer) drafted in to produce a single. The result, "The Boy Stutters," an edgy number about a boy with a speech impediment who sleeps with his mother, was not what Calder had in mind. Colin and John Porter eventually recruited Ian Dury's 'Blockheads' and, with 'Monsoon' sitar virtuoso Clem Alford, produced "Head." This was more to Calder's taste, so long as he didn't dwell on the lyrics. It had an infectious dance beat, and was released to critical acclaim. "Head" later reappeared on the album of the same name.
