Details

[Edit]

Heartbreak Hill was an ill-starred album, recorded in 1978 but not released until the mid-'90s owing to management problems. Save for one track, it was also recorded without guitarist Dave Lambert, with Miller Anderson and Jo Partridge filling in as replacements. It wasn't one of their better records, for although the compositional tone of their "folk meets prog rock" remained similar to their mid-'70s records, the production (including keyboards by Andy Richards, later to play on Frankie Goes to Hollywood albums) is unsympathetically glossy. Titled a "Platinum Edition," this 2006 edition of Heartbreak Hill does represent an upgrade in that it was drawn from long-lost, belatedly discovered original studio masters. The one extra might be a disappointment even to hardcore fans willing to settle for minimal bonuses in expanded editions, it being a "Whiplash Mix" — what exactly such a mix constitutes is not detailed — of one of the album's songs, "Something for Nothing."
