Mike & The Mechanics

The 21st October is a date for Mike + The Mechanics fans to mark boldly in their calendar. On that day Mike and the band will release a new 2 disc collection of hits, b-sides and rarities spanning 25 years of M+TM.

Not content with merely putting together a collection of hits, and never a band to rest on its collective laurels, M+TM have also recorded a new track ‘When my Feet Don’t Touch the Ground’, written by Mike and Roachford, especially for this release.

But wait… there’s more!

The never before released track ‘One By One’, featuring the vocal talents of both Paul Carrack and the late, great Paul Young, also features in this new CD-set. The rare track takes its place among a carefully curated selection of B-sides, as well as the new track, on the second disc.

This is the first time Mike + The Mechanics have collected together all their biggest cross label hits for release in one package. It’s been a process which has inspired a lot of pride and satisfaction in Mike:

“I am proud of the writing and recording of so many of the songs and of all the musicians involved along with the producers/ engineers and technical staff. Especially to Paul Carrack and Paul Young two of the finest voices.  And now to Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar who are carrying on the Mechanics sound with me. That sound is the combination of everyone involved and the fact that people can recognise it is one of our best achievements.”

With its non-stop hits, previously unreleased tracks and sumptuous artwork we’re sure that this is a collection M+TM fans will definitely want on their shelves.
