Jimmy Somerville - Manage The Damage  3-cd.

 Jimmy Somerville’s third solo album, 1999’s “Manage The Damage” was his first as an
independent artist after splitting with London Records in 1995 after twelve years of
recording with them both as a solo artist and with bands Bronski Beat and
Communards. This is the first ever expanded edition of this album and, developed in
conjunction with Jimmy’s management, with its 43 tracks over three discs, celebrates
both the album and all of its associated singles. All the B-sides and a wealth of dance
floor remixes are included herein. The deluxe packaging includes a comprehensive 32
page booklet insert containing song lyrics, a treasury of promotional photos from the
period and a detailed essay on the album and its sensibilities written by ‘Andy Bell is
Torsten’ playwright Barney Ashton.
 The album was a songwriting and production collaboration with Sally Herbert
(Banderas, Communards) who was, at the time, Jimmy’s flat-mate; the album was
mostly written in their home studio on the then emergent new songwriting technology
‘Pro Tools’.
 Jimmy’s first bona fide independent release after his London Records era had been the
1997 re-record, and remixes thereof, of ‘Safe’, a favourite song of Jimmy’s from his
previous solo album ‘Dare To Love’ that he had originally recorded for London Records
as the album track ‘Safe In These Arms’. These tracks were, however, not released in
the UK at the time and this expanded edition collects together the best of those
remixes of ‘Safe’ as well.
 Jimmy’s new found freedom enabled him to write his most nuanced, honest and direct
album; the lyrics deal with the fallout from domestic violence, the fallacy of
imposition of religious morality, prostitution, the optimism generated by the new
‘combination therapies’ in the treatment of HIV and, as always with Jimmy, “Manage
The Damage” is a heartfelt celebration, and promotion of, homosexual sensibilities,
social activism and love.
