‘Recollections’ celebrates 40 years of Simply Red

‘recollections’, an album filled with newly recorded versions of classic songs, was released today.

The new album features beautiful but faithful versions of  ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’, ‘Holding Back The Years’, ‘Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye’, Stars’, ‘Fairground’ and 35 other favourites. The re-recordings haven been produced by long-time collaborator Andy Wright.

The band has been celebrating their 40th anniversary the whole year. The celebrations started when Mick Hucknall made a long-awaited guest appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and continued when he made a surprise appearance during Rod Sterwart’s set at Glastonbury.

Simply Red have enjoyed the kind of long-lived success most bands can only dream of. Their 40th anniversary is primed to be a time of rediscovery of this legendary 4-decade long career for the fans of the band. Simply Red remain one of the UK’s most successful and well-loved bands, with Mick Hucknall considered one of the great vocalists of contemporary music.
