Music reviews of Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited
Music Review: Maximum R&B
Rating: 3 Stars
During the brief existence in the 1970s, the group released one single - Keys to Your Heart b/w 5-Star Rock & Roll Petrol - before Joe Strummer left for The Clash.
The album is a re-release of the 1981 version, with additional tracks to chronicle everything the band recorded (21 total from the studio and live). The high-octane R&B gave the group a solid following on the pub scene, with a dozen total musicians making appearances in the ever-changing lineup.
Additional interest in the band was generated once Strummer achieved fame with The Clash, but the music shows the continuing roots of the British scene through R&B and the pre-punk work of a musician who became a standard-bearer for the new style that swept through the music industry.
Description of Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited
Joe Strummer's 'lost' Debut Solo Album, Recorded after his Split from the Clash and Before He Formed the Mescaleros. Composed as the Score to the Alex Cox Film.Those who doubt the obsessive, unbridled affection Clash mainstay Joe Strummer held for traditional rock and R&B roots need only punch up virtually any track on this infectious collection of live and studio cuts from the 101ers, the raw yet accomplished band Strummer fronted just prior to his punk superstardom. While most such early-catalog excavations are suspicious and often spotty, Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited is a revelatory rush, from the opening blowout of "Letsagetabitarockin'." Many of the tracks rock with the rootsy charm of fellow pub rockers Ducks Deluxe, yet one can hear the later sound of the Clash nearly fully formed on tracks like the blue-beat-seasoned "Sweet Revenge," "Keys to Your Heart," and "Junco Partner." The collection's second half kicks into even higher gear, presenting a generous slate of previously unreleased live workouts that hammer familiar R&B staples like "Shake Your Hips" and "Maybellene" into submission and closing with a frenzied rave-up of Van Morrison and Them's Brit Invasion staple, "Gloria." --Jerry McCulley
