The Wild Swans - The Platinum Collection [Sophistipop/New Romant

The Wild Swans were a band from Liverpool, England, which formed in 1980 shortly after Paul Simpson (ex-keyboards) left The Teardrop Explodes and teamed up (on vocals) with Jeremy Kelly (guitar), Ged Quinn (keyboards), and Justin Stavely (drums). Stavely was later replaced by Alan Wills and although bass players came and went, Joseph Fearon played on both of the studio albums, recorded by a reincarnated Mark II version of the band. Enjoying a degree of success and/or cult status in the USA, Germany, UK, Japan, and especially the Philippines, The Wild Swans also spawned two interesting splinter projects; Care and The Lotus Eaters. As the parent outfit, The Wild Swans remained the cornerstone and historically, will probably be remembered as the most revered and influential of the three projects. Members: Paul Simpson (guitar, vocals), Jeremy Kelly (guitar), Gerard Quinn (keyboards, 1980-86), Rolo McGinty (bass, 1981-82), Joe Fearon (bass, 1985-90) 01 Bringing Home the Ashes 02 Young Manhood 03 Bible Dreams 04 Whirlpool Heart 05 Northern England 06 Mythical Beast 07 Melting Blue Delicious 08 Chocolate Bubblegum 09 I'm a Lighthouse 10 The Worst Year of my Life 11 Butterfly Girl 12 Space Flower 13 Magic Hotel 14 Bitterness 15 Now and Forever 16 Immaculate 17 Archangels
