Chris Spedding has had a fascinating career over (almost) the last four decades. A top shelf and incredibly versatile guitarist, Spedding has a formidable resume as a session player, having appeared on literally hundreds of sessions, ranging from his work with Brian Ferry and John Cale to his mid-seventies appearance as one of the Wombles! Having been part of the excellent but criminally overlooked British band The Sharks in the early seventies, Spedding released a fine trilogy of solo albums in the mid to late seventies -"Chris Spedding", "Hurt" and "Guitar Graffiti". "Hurt" is the best of the lot. 





Featuring his own idiosyncratic, often humourous originals and somewhat deadpan vocals, along with a well chosen cover or two, "Hurt" sees Spedding trawl through a variety of styles - RnB, rock and roll, countryish rock and his unique take on punk/new wave, the latter typified by the irresistable "Get Outa My Pagoda", the bonus track "Pogo Dancing" (a UK single)and the stunning title track. Throughout, Spedding's guitar sparkles - he's a true original, his solos inevitably spot on and concise. His playing at the conclusion of "Hurt by Love" provides a great example of his style. 





Spedding is still active today, and still recording high quality records, but "Hurt" is Chris Spedding at his best. 





This re-issue features four bonus tracks, all of which sit nicely with the original ten song album.
