Leggy Mambo

Following the release of their debut When In Rome, Kill Me and 1990 s Elvis Belt compilation (CDMRED355), Leeds Indie heroes CUD set to work on their next album for Imaginary Records. Recorded during the Summer of 1990, Leggy Mambo proved to be a step in all the right directions, cementing the sound developed over their previous releases and capitalising on the bands pop sensibilities to provide their most immediately accessible collection of songs to date. Produced by XTC s Dave Gregory and released in October 1990, the album spawned the well-received singles Robinson Crusoe and Magic (both of which might have achieved greater success had they been released on a larger label) and generated a huge amount of industry interest, eventually leading to their signing with A & M the following year. This Cherry Red Gold Top Copy version of the album features the newly re-mastered original disc, as well as a collection of demos and alternate versions, all of which have been hand picked by the band themselves.
