Description

Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition including 16 bonus tracks and liner notes written by vocalist Grahame Skinner, who co-produced the reissue. Hipsway were a Scottish pop band who enjoyed international success with their hit single 'The Honeythief'. The band was formed in Glasgow in 1984 by ex-Altered Images guitarist Johnny McElhone on bass, with front man Grahame Skinner (vocals), Pim Jones (guitar) and Harry Travers (drums). Their music was characterized by Skinner's deep voice and Jones' guitar playing. Their debut album Hipsway (Produced by Paul Staveley O'Duffy and Gary Langan) followed in April and peaked at #42, but stayed on the album chart for an impressive 23 weeks, last appearing there in June 1987. The album track, 'Tinder', became well known in Scotland as the soundtrack to a McEwan's Lager TV commercial. It's constant exposure helped keep the album a strong seller in their home country. A new version of 'Ask The Lord' was issued and made #50, and the album's final single 'Long White Car' reached #55. Some months later, 'The Honeythief' began it's ascent of the US Hot 100, peaking at #19, sending the album to #55. 'The Honeythief' also charted in Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Canada and New Zealand.
