These .rar files can be unzipped by using WINRAR or a similar program. WINRAR can be downloaded from various sites around the net. If you are unable to get WINRAR to work on your computer and you are desperate to download a particular album then let me know. I will try to create a .zip file for you if I have the time (and if you ask nicely!).

The De Luxe Blues Band - Urban De Luxe





I apologise in advance for not posting the De Luxe Blues Band albums in order, however my copies of Motorvating and Streetcar Named Deluxe are yet to arrive, so I've decided to post Urban Deluxe from 1983.

Personally I believe this is a major improvement to the album I posted last night (Live At The Half Moon, Putney). However, as always you can make up your own mind.

Once again this album comes to us courtesy of John who has contributed such classics as two Bob Weston albums (Night Light and Studio Picks), Brunning's earlier work with Five's Company (Ballad of Fred The Pixie) and Rick Vito as part of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (No More Interviews).

Now if you read the review listed on the "further info" link below, you will notice that the reviewer says "the problem here is that the piano is too loud in the mix". Now personally one of the things I like about the albums that Brunning has been involved in has been the piano of his sidekick Bob Hall (pictured below). Take a listen to the Tramp albums, the Brunning Sunflower albums and you will see the common thread of the boogie-woogie piano of Bob Hall. So, in this instance, I don't agree with the review. Oh well, each to their own!
