About This Item
Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. The second album by the Fine Young Cannibals, The Raw and The Cooked, original released in 1989. Solid White 140 G Vinyl, gatefold, printed inner sleeve. Incudes download card featuring the album + 22 22 rare & unreleased bonus tracks (B Sides, remixes). Remastered for the very ?rst time with Roland Gift's involvement. Fine Young Cannibals had talent to burn - guitarist Andy Cox and multi-instrumentalist David Steele were veterans of the English Beat, and front man Roland Gift was a vocalist as distinctive as Sam Cooke or Al Green - and 1989's The Raw and The Cooked shows the UK trio going out in style. The second and ?nal FYC studio album neatly balances such retro-soul numbers as InchGood ThingInch and such Prince-in?uenced dance cuts as InchShe Drives Me Crazy.Inch Both of those tracks became No.1 hits, and the remaining songs (all original except for a convincing cover of Buzzcocks' InchEver Fallen In LoveInch) are also single-worthy. A double-Platinum smash, The Raw and The Cooked remains among the most listenable albums of the 1980s. Includes the hits InchShe Drives Me CrazyInch, InchGood ThingInch, InchI'm Not The Man I Used To BeInch. Album Tracks 1. She Drives Me Crazy 2. Good Thing 3. I'm Not the Man I Used to Be 4.
