NotesDigitally remastered 1996 reissue on Mercury of their secondalbum (1984) with five unmarked bonus tracks: 'Bass Dance','Belief in the Small Man', 'Prairie Rose', 'Winter Sky' and'Wonderland' (12in Mix - 7:08 long). 15 tracks in all, also featuring 'Flame of the West', 'East of Eden', 'Where TheRose Is Sown' and 'Just a Shadow'.
The Steeltown CD by Big Country represents some of their finest work to date. The tracks included in this CD are well crafted CD with rich emotional feeling in every note and the music simply uplifts and satisfies me. Just A Shadow and Where The Rose Is Sown are magnificent selections as are Wonderland and East Of Eden. Many of these songs are dark foreboding short stories of exploitation despair anger and abuse and how these things affect everyday people, yet there is always room for hope in times of crisis. Steeltown delivers in quality and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the music of Big Country.
