For the first time on vinyl, the one considered by many as Nikki Sudden's best album ever Red Brocade, originally released in 1999. Featuring members of Jacobites, The Chamber Strings, Wilco, etc. In 1997, British musician Nikki Sudden traveled to Chicago to work with The Chamber Strings. While there, the two parties realized that they were creatively simpatico, and soon began work on an album, a baker's dozen of thoughtful, occasionally introspective, and superbly written songs, which would appear in 1999 as Red Brocade. It's mellow singer-songwriter fare, some might call it "alt country", and that Wilco's Jeff Tweedy pops up here should give you a sense of what you're getting, as sonically, all the songs here could have been Wilco tracks. Released under license from Easy Action Records, UK. The original album released on gatefold cover double LP with inner sleeves, remastered and with liner notes by Kevin Junior (The Chamber Strings).

2006 release. Nikki Sudden, born Adrian Godfrey in 1956, died in New York on the night of March 26th 2006 after playing a concert at the end of a tour of the USA. The Truth Doesn't Matter is Nikki Sudden's final album. Completed just a week before he left for his final American tour in March of 2006, there could not be a more perfect swan song for a man whose personal life and rock & roll life knew no boundaries. Recorded in Berlin in the latter months of 2005, it was made on a steady diet of later period Marc Bolan glam, Rolling Stones' honky blues, Bobby Womack's soiled R&B, and '70s disco comps (with some repeated Isley Brothers doses). While the fifteen tracks on the album show these influences, more than anything, they reflect the flamboyance and wonderful character of a man who seems to have come from another time - a poet whose passion for the written word and delight in its expression in multiple forms was his life's dedication. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.
