How The West Was Won [LP], Peter Perrett, Vinyl

The debut album from the former frontman of the late 70’s UK band The Only Ones. Perrett, whose incisive songcraft and sardonic drawl made him one of the most distinctive voices of the Seventies hasn’t released music in over 20 years. Bearing in mind his most famous song began “I always flirt with death” (‘Another Girl, Another Planet’), this is one comeback that nobody saw coming. Produced by Chris Kimsey (The Rolling Stones), Perrett's intuitive feel for words; his flair for idiosyncratic metaphors and his deadpan wit are all still as sharp as ever.
