Can You Do Me Good

Description

Released for the first time on vinyl - 2002's Can You Do Me Good? saw Del Amitri return after a 48-month break with a new sound and a remarkable, yet almost entirely overlooked album. For the album's debut on LP, it was pressed on high-quality 180g vinyl and includes a 16-page color lyric booklet. In 2002, the pop world had turned; four years earlier, Del Amitri had released Hatful Of Rain, their greatest hits collection marking roughly a decade of success. Can You Do Me Good? relied on keyboards, samples, and drum machines as much as the previous albums centered on electric and acoustic guitars. Featuring its lead single Just Before You Leave, Can You Do Me Good? is truly captivating and could have been the band's greatest album had it arrived five years earlier. "I've got cash and prizes, but I don't know who I am," Currie sings on Cash & Prizes; and the song seems to encapsulate the album.
