ELIGIBLE BACHELORS (EXPANDED 3CD EDITION)
cherry red
Remastered complete with bonus tracks and additional material including the live album ‘Fin’ (AKA ‘The Good Life’), Plus singles, B-sides, BBC sessions, rarities and several solo tracks by lead singer Bid.
The Monochrome Set were widely recognised as one of the best post-punk bands of the late ‘70s and ‘80s, with the album ‘Eligible Bachelors’ regarded as one of their finest pieces of work. AllMusic named it as “one of the classic undiscovered albums of the early ‘80s. ‘Eligible Bachelors’ is a tour de force of wit and musical imagination” as well as “an agedefining record”, with Trouser Press praising the band for their “witty intelligence” and declaring that ‘Eligible Bachelors’ “strips the music down to essential elements.” Cherry Red have paid ‘Eligible Bachelors’ the respect it deserves by carefully packaging the album alongside The Monochrome Set’s fine live album ‘Fin’ (AKA The Good Life), and a whole host of singles, B-sides and rarities, including many hard to find BBC sessions of the band in their absolute prime.
