Proper Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Recordings, are delighted to make available again Twisted, the hugely successful fourth album from respected Glasgow group, Del Amitri. Twisted is presented with scrupulous attention to the detail of the original UK first pressings with gatefold sleeve and fold-out poster and is available in audiophile 180gm vinyl.
After the huge, consolidating success of 1992’s Waking Hours, Twisted was a confident return for Del Amitri, now comfortably established as one of the 90’s most interesting, exhilarating groups. Released in February 1995, although they were very much in another lane, it’s impossible not to hear the subtle influence they had on the then-current Britpop phenomenon with the chiming ‘Start With Me’ and ‘Never Enough’. Elsewhere, first single ‘Here With Me’ sounds like a great lost track from an early 70’s rock album, whilst ‘Driving With The Brakes On,’ and ‘It Might As Well Be You’ underline how adept the group were with a ballad. But, for many listeners, it was all about one track. Although peaking in the UK at No 22, ‘Roll To Me’ hit No 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America. Twisted entered the charts at No 3 in the UK and remained on the listings for six months.
Whether replacing much-loved originals, or adding to a collection afresh, this is a superior way to enjoy such enduring and influential music.
