When CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY released a platter titled “A Roomful Of Monkeys” in 1985, it went down largely unnoticed because people didn’t know it was by a supergroup which included Eric Goulden, Micky Gallagher and Norman Watt-Roy, the first of them, a man who wrote all the songs there, also known as Wreckless Eric. The singer always maintained that those pieces were good but his delivery didn’t do the music justice, which is why, four decades on, the veteran decided to repurpose old material for a new record, one reflecting his maturity as a performer.
