EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION RELEASE FOR
VIP TICKET HOLDERS ONLY!
To coincide with Hugh Cornwell's upcoming nationwide UK Spring 2011 Tour, the enigmatic former Stranglers front man and singer/songwriter, has announced an "ultra exclusive" limited edition 10-track album release entitled "You're Covered!"
The album, perceived by Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell fans as an essential collector's item, is strictly limited to 250 copies and only available to VIP ticket holders.
"Over the years I've heard certain songs which have stayed with me and will suddenly pop up into my head for no apparent reason. They range from 'Things' - which I heard as a kid - to 'Hear Me Calling Your Name' which I only heard a few years ago for the first time. This selection is by no means comprehensive but is a cross section of influences." - Hugh Cornwell
"You're Covered!" - Album Track Listing:
2. "She Smiled Sweetly" (Jagger/Richards)
3. "Message To Pretty" (Arthur Lee)
4. "His Latest Flame" (Doc Pumus/Mort Shuman)
5. "The Shrine on the Second Floor" (Heneker/Moore/Norman/Mankowitz)
6. "Just A Little Too Much" (Johnny Burnette)
7. "Take A Message To Mary" (Felice and Boudleaux Bryant)
8. "Hear Me Calling Your Name" (Jack Bruce)
10. "The Way Young Lovers Do" (Van Morrison)

The Raven, Schoolmaam, Down in the Sewer, Toiler on the Sea, Walk on By and Feel Like a xxx will all be performed each evening.

Hugh Cornwell is one of the UK's finest song-writing talents and accomplished live performers. The original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in The Stranglers enjoyed massive UK and European success with ten hit albums and twenty-one top forty singles, etching himself into the UK's musical psyche with Peaches, No More Heroes, Golden Brown, Always the Sun, Grip, Nice N Sleazy, Duchess, Walk on By, Strange Little Girl and Skin Deep.
Cornwell has released eight solo albums, most recently Hooverdam, produced and mixed in Toerag Studios by Liam Watson, known for the Grammy winning White Stripes' Elephant.
Hooverdam is available as a high-quality free download in twelve languages from his own website, bringing Cornwell's music free to the world's population. It's available as a triple-sleeved digipak featuring both CD and live studio performance DVD Blueprint, in one exclusive package. The album is also issued on vinyl.
With the masterpiece Hooverdam available as a free download, Cornwell breaks new ground and proves himself again to be a unique force in British music.
New Songs for King Kong, a limited edition "live" double CD and vinyl recorded on the last UK tour, featuring Hooverdam and The Stranglers first album Rattus Norvegicus 1V in their entirety, is available exclusively from Cornwell's website.
"Hooverdam is the cousin to Lou Reed's storming 1988 LP New York.
It's a very coherent album with a timeless quality."
- Record Collector
"Cornwell remains a hugely popular & prolific performer whose songwriting retains its fiery eloquence and whose gigs still crackle with electricity"
