'''''Songs Of Love Live''''' is the first commercially-released solo record by [[Mark Eitzel]]. It was released on [[Demon Records]] as a side project while Eitzel was still a member of [[American Music Club]]. | |||
==Background== | |||
The album is a solo acoustic performance recorded live at The Borderline in London, England on January 17, 1991, with the exception of the last two tracks which are acoustic studio recordings. | |||
Aside from "[[Take Courage]]", most of the songs had either already appeared on [[start|American Music Club]] albums, or would do so in the future. Five songs ("[[Firefly]]", "[[Western Sky]]", "[[Blue And Grey Shirt]]", "[[Last Harbor]]" and "[[Jenny]]") were from ''[[California]]'', two more ("[[Gary's Song]]" and "[[Outside This Bar]]") were from ''[[Engine]]'', a live performance of "[[Kathleen]]" is found on ''[[United Kingdom]]'', and "[[Room Above The Club]]" was an a cappella version of the opening track on the band's debut album ''[[The Restless Stranger]]''. "[[Crabwalk]]" would later be recorded and released on ''[[Everclear]]'' later in 1991; "[[Chanel No. 5]]" was recorded at the same sessions but kept back for the b-side to the ''[[Rise]]'' and ''[[Why Won't You Stay]]'' singles; "[[What Godzilla Said To God When His Name Wasn't Found In The Book Of Life|Nothing Can Bring Me Down]]" was an early version of ''[[Mercury]]'''s "[[What Godzilla Said To God When His Name Wasn't Found In The Book Of Life]]". | |||
The liner notes from the album featured a review of the concert by Andrew Smith from the January 26, 1991 issue of ''Melody Maker''. The album was reissued in 2000 on LP by Italy's [[Fruit Tree Records]]. | |||
In a 1993 ''Ray Gun'' magazine interview, Eitzel said, "I'll never do a solo record. That solo record (''Songs Of Love Live'') only happened because I bought a new guitar out of it. At that point in time, I wasn't even sure if AMC would continue. We were in between [[Frontier Records|Frontier]] and [[Alias Records|Alias]] and everyone was threatening us with massive lawsuits. I did it because I made a decision that I would take every opportunity that was given to me."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Howard |first=David |date=May 1993 |title=Hanging By A Thread |url= |magazine=Ray Gun |location=Santa Monica, CA |publisher=Marvin Scott Jarrett |access-date=January 16, 2017}}</ref> | |||
