LLOYD COLE (SOLO)

Playing the Classic Lloyd Cole Songbook 1983 – 1996


The release of 2015’s ‘Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Collected Recordings 1983-1989’ was received to universal warmth and acclaim, and it sold out far more quickly than UMG anticipated.


A second printing is due in March, and a second box is in the works, for a September release. It will span 1989 – 1996, Lloyd’s first four solo albums, the lost fifth album, plus rarities and videos.


These boxes are a lot of work, much of which can only be done by me. I must revisit and rediscover material. I am necessarily in retrospective mode. I have decided to embrace it. In 2016 all of my set lists will be comprise material from 1983 – 1996 only. Most of my concerts will be acoustic affairs but there will be some band performances. Once the world has seen the Retrospective Show I will resume my work as a contemporary artist.



Between the archival box set work, day to day clerical duties and press release composition Lloyd Cole claims also to be working on new songs for a 2017 album release.
