Blame It On The Night
(Turpentine Records)
Five stars
This is the only album out of Kevin Coyne's prolific output never previously released on CD.
It is well worth the wait, with the original vinyl recording supplemented by a disc of rough mixes and unreleased songs plus bonus tracks from a 1974 Hyde Park concert.
