Great longplayers from the past…
‘Don’t Stand Me Down’
DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS
Third album
15 September 1985
ALL MUSIC wrote: “Utterly overlooked upon release, condemned and chastised by every reviewer who came within 50 yards of it, Dexys Midnight Runners third album arrived in
1985 with the band’s once-illuminated fame looking seriously battered. Track by track,
Don’t Stand Me Down unfolds to become not the ugly duckling of Dexys Midnight Runners’
hit-packed catalog, but the new dawn that could – should – have finally exorcised ‘Eileen’
and her buddies. And when it didn’t, the band broke up.”
Score: 4/5 – Full review here
TURN UP THE VOLUME says: Kevin Rowland was/is
one of the best white soul voices in modern music history…
