Cole, Lloyd
Cleaning Out The Ashtrays
For singer/songwriter Cole, now then is the time for Cleaning Out the Ashtrays - for sorting through dusty boxes of cassettes, DAT tapes and CDs in his Easthampton hideaway, to take stock and try to make sense of all that forgotten music. All those lost songs; half remembered sessions, much-missed friends and fellow-musicians and gifted co-producers. A goldmine of music from 21 years as a solo artist. Here, then, are 59 - count em - nuggets from the Cole vaults. Four CDs bursting with alternate versions, rare b-sides, cover sessions (Lou Reed, Marc Bolan and Leonard Cohen songs among them), and a few tracks that the record companies - and on occasion, even Lloyd himself - just didnt get at the time.
