  LEE O'BRIEN - "THIS IS ME" (Recorded with FRANCIS ROSSI) Taken under the wing of Status Quo legend Francis Rossi, this album contains twelve all-original compositions, with four of the titles being co-written by Francis. Lee provides lead vocals, guitar and drums, while Rossi contributes lead and bass guitars, keyboards, and backing vocals throughout. The whole album was produced by Francis Rossi in his home studio, and recorded by Status Quo engineer Andy Brook. With Lee's own initial pressing of the album sold out, Barrel And Squidger Records are proud to present our newly-expanded version including "It's Not Real", a further exclusive Francis Rossi co-composition recorded with Francis in April 2022. Exclusively available from musicglue.com/squidger on tri-fold digipak CD and two different colours of ULTRA-limited cassette. "Status Quo's Francis Rossi gave singer-songwriter Lee O'Brien a helping hand, co-writing a few songs with him and producing this debut album. When it comes to words O'Brien is on another level... An appeal that will resonate with more than just Quo fans. 7/10" - Classic Rock magazine An album launch gig, with a backing band featuring Andy Brook, Quo drummer Leon Cave, and Leon's "Middlenight Men" band-mate Nick Hughes, will take place at London's iconic 100 Club on 9 July 2022.   |

Where do kids buy cassette players from now? I'd have to search in the attic for an old hifi to play one on. I still don't get peoples new found fascination for vinyl, though I'm happy to sell it... |

Catchy tune and fair play to Francis, not a bad production job. The guitar mix could do with tweeking to lift the lead, either that or re-record a more prominent lead guitar track. Backbone was the same, sounded good but a few rockier adjustments could have been a true return to form.

Yes, You & I is on the album. It's one of the four tracks co-written by Francis.

Hi Jason, fantastic re-release. Well done👍 Any chances to get the license for a CD release of the Partners In Crime 1985 Album „Organised Crime“ with John Coghlan? That would be great and high on my wish list. Cheers from Hamburg ☀️🍻

That would be great and high on my wish list. Cheers from Hamburg ☀️🍻 Thanks! Licencing from major labels isn't part of my business model. And with it being 37 years old and only mastered for vinyl/tape, never CD, I think it would be prohibitively expensive to attempt. Maybe a specialist reissue label with experience in this field would like to give it a try |
