Littledeath
''Littledeath'' is the fourth studio album by Scottish band Love and Money, released by Iona Gold in the UK in 1993 and Mesa Records in the US in 1994. The album produced one single, "The Last Ship on the River". Background Despite the strained relationship between Love and Money and their label, Phonogram, the band were commissioned to record their fourth studio album following the release of ''Dogs in the Traffic'' in 1991. However, when the band presented approximately six new tracks to Phonogram, the label felt they were not commercial enough and lacked hit potential. The two parties were unable to come to an agreement, resulting in Love and Money leaving the label in late 1992 and completing the recording of ''Littledeath'' themselves. Once completed, the band secured a deal to release ''Littledeath'' on the Glasgow-based independent label Iona Gold. Douglas MacIntyre told the '' Evening Express'' in 1994, "The freedom we now have is very important. We didn't want to sign to ...

Cheap Pearls And Whisky Dreams – The Best Of
''Cheap Pearls and Whisky Dreams – The Best of'' is a compilation album by Scottish band Love and Money, released by Fontana in 1999. Critical reception On its release, Neil McKay of '' Sunday Life'' wrote, "A vehicle for the classy songwriting of James Grant, Love and Money made some fine soul and country tinged pop rock over the course of four albums spanning the late 80s and early 90s." Nick Duerden of '' Q'' noted the band's shift from their initial image as "Scotland's latest rock hopes" to "a cult act whose heart-on-sleeve approach often went against mainstream tastes" after Grant discovered "jazz, subtlety, and artful contemplation". He described Grant as being "blessed with the lyricism of a poet" and added it was a "shame" that the band "only ever reached a tiny audience".

War had ended with the American colonies, he revealed. ''The Herald'', therefore, is as old as the United States of America, give or take an hour or two. The story was, however, only carried on the back page. Mennons, using the larger of two fonts available to him, put it in t ...
