A new ‘best of’ from English super-group MIKE + THE MECHANICS is being released by Concord Records. “Looking Back – Living The Years” is a best of compilation encapsulating singles from the forty year career of Mike + The Mechanics. The release coincide with the new tour of the same name.
The collection spans 40 years of music and includes tracks from seven of the band’s nine studio albums (1999’s Mike and the Mechanics aka ‘M6’ and 2004’s Rewired are not represented). Starting with their debut hit ‘Silent Running’ the tracklist showcases the bands biggest hits – featuring Grammy Nominated ‘All I Need is a Miracle,’ Ivor Novello Award winning and Grammy nominated ‘Living Years,’ the international smash hit ‘Over My Shoulder,’ through to their final and fifth top 10 UK album.
This compilation features vocals from all Mike + The Mechanics vocalists through the years – Paul Young, Paul Carrack, Andrew Roachford, and Tim Howar – and is by far the most comprehensive ‘best of’ from the legendary band to date.
Highly Recommended
