VIRGINIA WOLF’S debut album caused major excitement amongst critics and fans alike. It was a heady, mature brew of class-A grade melodic hard rock with infinitely catchy songs (mainly drawn from the hands of guitarist Nick Bold), stunningly executed arrangements and astonishing vocals from Chris Ousey, one of the UK’s most celebrated front men. That the album didn’t set the charts on fire was no fault of their own, so naturally a traditional, steady build to stardom was expected.
‘Push’, the band’s second and - as it turned out - final album, was delivered to a market that was rapidly changing and by a company that was, in the main, looking to make quick scores. Produced in San Francisco by Kevin Elson, a man who was at the time experiencing huge success with Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’, the record presented a far more mature approach to their craft. Once again, the songs were magnificent, the production being equally as exciting and the arrangements beyond reproach but with a record tailor made for the American market they really needed to a hit single, something that sadly never materialised. With the band stranded in Manchester and with no ability to tour the US, the record company quickly lost interest, exacerbating a slow death which began when drummer Jason Bonham opted to leave the band. Looking back, it’s almost inconceivable that such a work of brilliance was cruelly overlooked and allowed to languish. Truly a magnificent and brilliantly crafted record which still sounds wonderfully fresh today.
24-bit remastering from original source tapes, two bonus tracks, 4, 000 word essay about the making of the album and a new interview and full involvement from the band. Additional photos and memorabilia spread out over a 12 page full colour booklet.
