Shifting to a sound more informed by the punk that had initially inspired them, their punk rock credentials were further brought to the fore on Crank (1994) by the Jamie Reid cover design, famed for his iconic and highly influential Sex Pistols artwork. Featuring the singles ‘Wrench’ and ‘Jonestown Mind’, “Crank” reached No.15 in the UK charts.Recording a second record for Chrysalis, Just Add Life (1996) was eventually released by UK independent label Castle. Featuring the singles ‘All Sussed Out’ and ‘Do You Understand’, Just Add Life is also notable for its artwork by design legend and album cover guru, the late Storm Thorgerson.Following Just Add Life, The Almighty decided to call it a day, with singer Ricky Warwick perusing a solo career. Reforming in 2000 around a line-up of Ricky, Stump and Floyd, they were joined by guitarist Nick Parsons. By 2000, Castle Music had morphed in Sanctuary Records, who released the self-titled The Almighty (2000) swiftly followed by Psycho-Narco (2001), by which time Gav Gray had joined them on bass.Whilst on tour in Japan supporting the release of Crank, the band recorded the live album Crank and Deceit: Live in Japan, recorded at Osaka’s IMP Hall on 16th July 1995, captured here on CD5.

Many tracks had appeared as B-Sides, but have been collected together here for the first time.The band effectively split up following Psycho-Narco in 2002, but reformed their classic line-up of Ricky, Stump, Floyd and Pete Friesen in 2006 for well received live gigs, playing their final show in 2009.
