"
In a way it's the ultimate Champs album..." says Danny and we have to agree. From 2008's
These Days, to a selection of favourites from last year's studio album
Stay True, via the likes of
Henry The Van and
Colonel & The King - it's almost like a greatest hits of Danny & The Champions. However, this hits package captures what the studio recordings can't quite convey - the raw passion and energy of a Champs live show.
"This is what we sound like right nowand I'm thrilled we were able to capture that."- Danny George Wilson
Recorded live at a hugely sweaty sold out show at Jazz Cafe, Camden on the 6th March this year, featuring co-conspirators
Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou, you can either take this as a welcome reminder of a shit-hot show, or a harsh lesson on how you should never pass up an opportunity to catch these guys live.
