On March 28, 2025, Cherry Red Records will release Quireboys: Hey You! The Parlophone Years 1989 – 1993, 4CD Box Set.
This four-disc collection explores the first, hugely successful phase of Quireboys’ career, and features liner notes by the one and only Spike. Pre-orders can be placed now at this location.
Emerging out of the mid-late ’80s London rock and sleaze scenes, Quireboys took their party-friendly booze ‘n blues earworms to the world’s charts and concert arenas during the late 1980s and early 90s. Fronted by the instantly recognizable Spike, the band scored countless Top 40 hits in the UK and beyond, including the UK #2 album, A Bit Of What You Fancy. Along they way, they became a must-see band – their live shows propelled by well-oiled musicianship and a blend of singalong anthems and heartbreaking romantic ballads, culminated in a New Year’s Eve performance in front of an estimated 50,000 fans in Tokyo.
Hey You! is a time capsule capturing Quireboys both in the studio and on stage, including rare B-sides and oft-overlooked demos and live versions of hit singles and fan favorites. Complete with eye-opening sleeve notes from Spike, this 4CD box set tells a story of the ebb and flow of success, presenting the hit A Bit Of What You Fancy, alongside its follow- up, Bitter Sweet & Twisted, which saw the band resurface after an unexpectedly lengthy layoff to find a changed musical landscape, which eventually proved unnavigable, leading to a break-up and a hiatus of almost a decade.
A must for those who were there, fans of the hits and those with a taste for gloriously sleazy rock ‘n roll.
Following a revival in the 2000s, Quireboys have recorded multiple new albums and continue to play live – see SpikeQuireboys.com for details.
