THE PRISONERS
This mod-influenced 60s revival band originated from the UK’s Medway Valley in Kent. Chief songwriter Graham Day (guitar/vocals), Allan Crockford (bass), James Taylor (Hammond organ) and Johnny Symons (drums) emerged in 1982 with a rough and raucous debut, A Taste Of Pink, on their Own Up label. A contract with the Ace Records subsidiary Big Beat yielded The Wisermiserdemelza in 1983, a far more laid-back, considered effort that ranged from powerful, 60s-influenced rock (the single ‘Hurricane’) to tranquil ballads. Although In From The Cold was an impressive album, it was far poppier and cleaner than the Prisoners had wished. Preceded by ‘Whenever I’m Gone’ (a re-recording from The Last Fourfathers), the album was badly promoted and the band, disillusioned with proceedings, split soon afterwards. Aside from two live albums shared with the Milkshakes, an album’s worth of rarities was also issued. As to the Prisoners themselves, Taylor carved out a niche with his originally Booker T. Jones -influenced, and later rare groove-inspired, James Taylor Quartet. Crockford joined him for a while before reuniting with Graham Day (after his spell with Milkshakes offshoot Thee Mighty Caesars) in the Prime Movers. The Prisoners’ lasting influence can be detected in many of the later Manchester bands of the early 90s, notably the Charlatans and the Inspiral Carpets, who also utilized the Hammond organ to propel their quasi-psychedelic pop songs."IN FROM THE COLD" tracklisting Side 1: ALL YOU GOTTA DO I SAY - COME CLOSER - THE MORE THAT I TEACH YOU MOURN MY HEALTH - I KNOW HOW TO PLEASE YOU - DECEIVING EYE Side 2: IN FROM THE COLD - WISH THE RAIN - BE ON YOUR WAY FIRE AND SEEK - AIN'T NO TELLIN' - MAIN TITLE THEME (The Lesser Evil)
