Frankie Miller…That’s Who! Is a 4CD retrospective of Frankie Miller’s studio recordings – collecting together the seven studio albums that Frankie recorded for Chrysalis Records between 1973 and 1980:
.
* Once In A Blue Moon (1973) debut album firmly established the Glaswegian’s song writing and singing credentials, ably backed by Brinsley Schwarz.
* High Life (1974) the follow up to “Once in A Blue Moon” was apparently remixed and released by Chrysalis without Frankie, or Allen Toussaint (producers) consent; this release includes the whole of the previously unreleased original mix, available for the first time.
* The Rock (1975) inspired by Alcatraz prison close to where the album was recorded in San Francisco, was produced by Elliot Mazer, famed for his work with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, among others. The album features two of his best know tracks, “A Fool In Love” and “Ain’t Got No Money”.
* Full House (1977) was produced by Chris Thomas (Sex Pistols, Roxy Music, Pink Floyd), and features his singular take on John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy”, as well as songs with long term collaborators Robin Trower and Free’s Andy Fraser.
* Double Trouble (1987) With Jack Douglas at the helm, the harder rock should come as no surprise, not least for a guest appearance from Aerosmith’s Steve Tyler, as well as a fruitful writing partnership with Paul Carrack (Ace, Squeeze & Mike + The Mechanics).
* Falling In Love (1979) (titled A Perfect Fit for its American release) features Frankie’s biggest hit single, “Darlin’”, as well as his buoyant cover of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love”.
* Easy Money (1980) was his last long player for Chrysalis. Includes previously unreleased versions of “Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever” and “I’m Old Enough”, and his version of Randy Newman’s “Sail Away”.
