ANY TROUBLE - ANY TROUBLE (1983)
After signing to EMI America, Any Trouble's third album, with a half-new lineup, was produced by David Kershenbaum (Joe Jackson), and it was a great departure from the Costello references everybody had heard on the first two Stiff albums. Some consider the album as the first great Any Trouble release, a wonderful new blend of soul and pop strengthened by Gregson's
sharpening melodic sense and lightening lyrical outlook. "Please Don't Stop," "Man of the Moment," "Northern Soul"
and other tracks resemble a non-obnoxious Hall and Oates crossed with
Costello and recorded in Motown; production by David Kershenbaum
provides the sonic variety and sophistication previously lacking.
Gregson's development into a powerful, sensitive singer is merely the
icing on the cake. But it's the only album never reissued or even available on any streaming sites.

A fine album, I actually own a nice vinyl copy. Underrated band for sure.
Thank you for offering this up!
Super. Thanks Angelo. And also enjoyed Clive's music with Christine Collister. I have the first Any Trouble album on vinyl.
