Cherry Red Records Oil And Gold

Released 15/08/11. Oil & Gold, the third full-length Shriekback
album, is widely considered the band’s best. Released in 1985 on Island
Records, Oil & Gold saw the band metamorphose from contemplative to
rocking. The addition of Martyn Barker on drums and Lu Edmonds (Ex
Damned) on guitar gives many of the songs an almost punk rock feeling.Oil
& Gold is the bridge between the old trio of Barry Andrews, Carl
Marsh, and Dave Allen, and the new vehicle for Andrews alone. Longtime
singer Marsh left the band halfway through the recording, leaving
Andrews to take over the vocals, the album’s highlights, including the
three opening songs, sung by Marsh, and the hit, Nemesis, became the
band’s signature sound.This enhanced edition comes with a newly
remastered bonus disc for B-Sides – some never before released on CD –
as well as a enhanced booklet with new notes
