Box Sets

Featuring 47 tracks over 3 CDs, including the band’s three studio albums recorded between 1985 and 1990 – Cock Robin (1985), follow up, After Here Through Midland (1987), and the ripe for rediscovery, First Love / Last Rites (1989). Plus single B-sides and 12” remixes.

Cock Robin’s self-titled debut album achieved multi-platinum success across Europe in 1985. It included the hits ‘The Promise You Made’ (Germany #6, France #4, Netherlands #2, UK #28), ‘Thought You Were On My Side’ (Germany #21, France #39, Netherlands #4), and ‘When Your Heart Is Weak’ (Germany #8, France #9, Netherlands #19), their sole US chart hit which peaked at #35 and was a staple video in the early days of MTV. The success of the singles propelled the album into the top 10 (Netherlands #3, Belgium #2, Germany #5, France #7).

Their second album, After Here Through Midland, followed in 1987 and was another huge success across Europe. It included the hit ‘Just Around The Corner’ (Netherlands #14, Belgium #11, Germany #16, France #14.) Europe’s love affair with the band propelled the album into the top 10 (Netherlands #6, Belgium #3, Germany #6, France #4) and it went platinum in France.

Third album, First Love / Last Rites produced by Rhett Davies, who worked with Roxy Music, was released in 1989. Despite its high quality the album fared less well except in France where it reached #11 and went 2 x gold. In the US and Japan the album was issued in 1990 with their cover of Conway Twitty’s ‘It’s Only Make Believe’ added as track six and that’s been included here.

Singer-songwriter Peter-Kingsbery who led Cock Robin from 1982 to 1990 when they disbanded, reformed the band in 2006.
