Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present Three Day Week

Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present Three Day Week - When The Lights Went Out 1972-1975 is a nostalgic trip back to Britain's tumultuous period of power shortages and industrial unrest. This compilation album curated by the dynamic duo behind Saint Etienne is a treasure trove of lesser-known tracks that perfectly capture the mood of the time. Opening with the infectious groove of "Three Day Week" by Hello Sailor, the album sets the tone for a rollercoaster ride through the music of the era. From the haunting piano melodies of Barry Blue's "Miss Hit and Run" to the funky, disco-infused beats of The Brothers' "Are We Ready for the 21st Century," each track showcases the diversity of music during this turbulent time. Standout tracks include the psychedelic sounds of Popera House's "Gonna Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse" and the soulful harmonies of the Flirtations' "What's Good About Goodbye My Love." The album closes with the anthemic "Public Image" by Time UK, a fitting end to a collection that pays homage to a pivotal moment in British history. Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs have crafted a masterful compilation that not only entertains but also educates listeners on a lesser-known period of British music. Three Day Week - When The Lights Went Out 1972-1975 is a must-listen for both die-hard music fans and history buffs alike. So dim the lights, sit back, and take a trip back in time with this stellar collection.
