Product description

Characterised by heavy drum machine patterns and cut-throat, droning guitars, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry (The Lorries to their friends) arrived on the newly developing Goth rock scene in 1981 and immediately became indie chart regulars and fan favourites. A must have for any fan of the Goth movement, or its accompanying dark and heavy sub-genres. The Lorries remain active today, and their legacy and reputation continues to grow.

Three albums plus bonus tracks

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 July 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a rather neatly packaged three-disc set containing the Lorries' first two albums, the Peel sessions and a bunch of singles, B-sides and rarities. If you're not familiar with the band, they were an early-Eighties British post-punk alternative rock act often lumped with the likes of The Sisters of Mercy and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Their sound is rootsy. Harsh drum machines drive sparse, enharmonic guitars and throaty male vocals over phased bass. What's best is the imaginative and surprisingly melodic compositions, together with the overall melancholic tone cut with a genuine feeling of angst.

BBC sessions fantastic, but we've heard the rest before (with crackles)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 February 2015

Verified Purchase

As a RLYL fan of some 30+ years I've purchased pretty much everything they're ever put out, so it's time to review yet another piece of product from the Leeds boys.
Firstly, let's start with the good. Disc 3 is absolutely essential for any RLYL fan and is worth the price of the box by itself, and seeing as most fans will already have what's on Discs 1 & 2, that's a good thing.
What you get are three sessions, two Peel, one Janice Long, the latter of which is a revelation, having only had it on mono cassette taped off the radio for the last 30 years. The first session has the unreleased `Conscious Decision' which is actually the pick of the bunch, this when they were still a funk and sax post punk band. The second session contains an embryonic `Monkey's On Juice' and the other two songs are solid.
Now for the not so good. The caveat here is it should be a well-known fact to most postpunk collectors now, that most of the master tapes for bands signed to Red Rhino in the 80's are missing presumed destroyed when the headquarters in York went up in flames in the late 80's. So you're not going to get remasters from the original master tapes in most cases. The exception here is that their first demo tape was used as the basis for 3 songs on their first two singles and that's a good thing because it seems to have survived. Ironically and also irritatingly, Red Rhino issued both `Smashed Hits' and `Paint Your Wagon' on CD originally, and so surely it would've made much more sense to take any songs from them and re eq them instead of going back to substandard vinyl pressings. It's also possible that Gerard Cosloy who ran Homestead Records still has tape masters of `Cut Down' and `Crawling Mantra' singles since Red Rhino would've given him a copy of the master tapes for licensing.
Disc 1 is a straight reissue of the 2005 release. This means you get `Talk About The Weather' mastered from vinyl, with associated singles and b-sides. As was made known in reviews back then, the mastering of some of these songs is appalling being taken from different and in some cases significantly worse vinyl copies than those that appeared on the `Singles 1982-87' collection.
So I'm going to go track by track on this release and give you the definitive RLYL song version source, where asterisk means taken from vinyl:
Disc 1 Talk About The Weather

1. Talk About the Weather *
2. Hand on Heart *
3. Feel a Piece * (best version is on Smashed Hits CD)
4. Hollow Eyes *
5. This Today *
6. Sometimes*
7. Strange Dream *
8. Happy *
9. Beating My Head (Original Version)
10. I'm Still Waiting
11. Take It All * (best version is on Smashed Hits)
12. Happy (Single Version) * (best version is on Singles 1982-87)
13. He's Read * (best version is on Smashed Hits)
14. See the Fire * (best version is on Singles 1982-87)
15. Monkeys on Juice * (best version is on Smashed Hits)
16. Push * (best version is on Smashed Hits)
17. Silence * (best version is on Singles 1982-87)
18. Hollow Eyes (12" Version) *
19. Russia * (actually just `This Today' played backwards)

So what's missing?
The superior rerecording of `Beating My Head' from the `This Today' 12", which you can only find on the `Smashed Hits' CD, and the shorter 7" version of `Hollow Eyes'.
Now onto disc 2 which contains some significant errors. All tracks are taken from vinyl which is very annoying considering the album tracks plus a couple of singles could've been mastered from the original PYW CD released by Red Rhino in 1987.
Disc 2 Paint Your Wagon *

1. Walking on Your Hands (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
2. Jipp (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
3. Last Train (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
4. Head All Fire (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
5. Mescal Dance (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
6. Shout at the Sky (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
7. Which Side (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
8. Tear Me Up (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
9. Save My Soul (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
10. Blitz (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
11. Paint Your Wagon (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
12. More Jipp (identical to `Jipp (Instrumental Mix)')
13. Chance (12" version)
14. Generation (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
15. Spinning Round (best version is on PYW Red Rhino CD)
16. Hold Yourself Down (This is actually `Spinning Round (Crash Mix)' not `Hold Yourself Down')
17. Jipp (Instrumental Mix) (this is identical to `More Jipp')
18. Cut Down (12" version)
19. Running Fever
20. Pushed Me
21. Crawling Mantra
22. Hang Man
23. All the Same

So what's missing?
Well firstly `Hold Yourself Down' is not here, this error stems from the incorrect track listing for `Singles 1982-87' from 1994 where the same error was made. I guess nobody listened to it during mastering and corrected the mistake. The 7" version of `Chance' (same length song but the drums sound very weak) is not here which can be found on the original `Paint Your Wagon' CD, nor is the live version of `Shout At The Sky' from the `Crawling Mantra' EP. The 7" version of `Cut Down' is on `Smashed Hits' the version here is the longer 12" mix.

So on balance is it worth getting? Yes because you need those BBC sessions, you can ditch your copy of `Talk About The Weather' as it's identical to Disc 1, but you need to keep your old Red Rhino CD's of PYW and Smashed Hits, and Cherry Red's `Singles 1982-87' if you want the best available digital versions of these songs.

Maybe one day we'll get the definitive editions without errors and omissions, until then ....

Decent enough

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 October 2021

Verified Purchase

A decent enough collection of the earlier releases and sessions from RLYL. Not the absolute best ever recordings of all of the tracks included, but nothing is terrible or unlistenable.

Just a shame it's another cheap cardboard slip case collection. My heart always sinks when a CD set arrives and it's in these horrible cardboard 'pretend record sleeves'. They look cheap. They feel cheap, it's a pain actually getting the CDs out of them and they will end up scuffing the surface of the disc over time.

I'm pretty eco conscious. I get the argument of less plastic, but surely there must be a less terrible alternative to your standard plastic jewel case than these cruddy things.

This one is better than most

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 December 2014

Verified Purchase

Another year another Lorries reissue. This one is better than most, collecting the first 2 LPs, the attendant singles tracks (although a mislabelled Hold Yourself Down is actually a second version of Spinning Round) and - for the first time - some contemporary BBC sessions. The LPs and singles seem to be the standard masters that have previously been reissued; nothing too special in other words, and with some clear pops from obvious vinyl dubs on some of the singles tracks. If you don't already have them, this is a nice way to get them, although they've yet to be done real justice in any digital format. The real gem is the radio sessions - crystal clear sound, no inane DJ chatter over the music, and some really interesting different versions. Even if you're already a fan you'll probably want it for these, and it's out at just the right time of year to make it a nice stocking-filler.

The Lorries as they deserve to be heard!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 July 2016

Verified Purchase

This box set of the first two albums, plus a bonus disc of John Peel sessions, is well worth buying. Red Lorry Yellow Lorry are an excellent, often overlooked post punk/goth band, who started out in the early eighties, in Leeds, England. It's great to see that Cherry Red have vastly improved with these recordings, since the previously poor quality of past releases, of the band's output. At last they have given these recordings, the sound quality that they so richly deserve. The added Peel sessions, make this a very worthwhile purchase alone.

Great slabs of noise from one of my all-time favourite bands. Great to hear their uncompromising music again. And no, they're not 'Goth'. But they were quite angry. Proper angry, not the peevish 'anger' of yer average modern emo band. Sheer, bloody-minded brilliance over three discs. Love it.
