BLACK (VEARNCOMBE, COLIN) - Any colour you like (Deluxe 2CD Edition) (Sealed) (2CD)

Colin Vearncombe first stepped onto a stage as Black in January 1981 and a journey began. Over the course of the next decade, four Black albums and more than a dozen singles were released by three independent labels and two major record companies resulting in several million record sales. 'Wonderful Life' and 'Sweetest Smile' being amongst the highlights. By 1992 he'd been to most of the places he'd ever had a hankering to visit, endured the terrible highs and fabulous lows of fame and learned many things -- largely about himself. Two of these self-realisations were that first; he had no desire to follow a path that was commercially interesting to a modern record label and second; he craved the creative freedom and control over his work that he could only obtain by owning his own label and copyrights. Nero Schwarz was formed for that exact purpose and has since released eight studio albums, four live albums and one collection of mainly unreleased recordings and now it's time to compile a record that represents some of the highlights of the journey -- so far.
