‘Men and Women', Simply Red’s second album, was released in March 1987 and includes the hits ‘The Right Thing' and ‘Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye'. It was a global smash and went triple platinum in the UK.
‘A New Flame' followed in 1989 and was their first UK #1 album selling over two million copies in the UK. Hits included ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Now’.
‘Love and the Russian Winter' was released in 1999, the band’s 7th studio album, and included a hit cover of ‘Ain’t That a Lot of Love’. All other tracks were Hucknall originals. The new release includes remastered audio for vinyl.
