Trouble With Women
When rock hands you lemons, British Lions made 'Trouble With Women' - a 1978 lightning bolt born from glorious disaster. Forget Hollywood endings: their Starwood Club showcase flopped, the band teetered, and chaos reigned (think wayward cats and a hepatitis cameo). Yet from RAK Studios emerged a beast - thunderous rock laced with Morgan Fisher's electronic wizardry, vocoders dueling vintage riffs. US suits sniffed it was 'too cold and hard' - their loss. Cherry Red saw the diamond in the rough: defiance dressed in sharp suits, turning turmoil into a masterpiece. Newly remastered and expanded, this is what happens when desperation meets genius - and wins. RIYL: Mott The Hoople, Thin Lizzy, UFO, Aerosmith, Queen.
