Sunset Gun - Be Thankful (For What You've Got) [A4556 UK 1984 24-Bit FLAC] Another seven inch single which needed a 24-bit upgrade is Sunset Gun's cover of this soul standard. It's difficult not to mention This Mortal Coil during a A Sunset Gun post (most of you will know what I mean), however this time I am going to pay special attention to the production skills of Alan Rankine, the former Associate also plays guitar on the track. The smoochy b-side really shows off the harmony skills of those two Rutkowski sisters .....something which really came to the fore during their work with This Mortal Coil. Enjoy.

Sunset Gun - In An Ideal World [CBS 26584 UK 1985 24-Bit FLAC] Staying in Scotland, but with a slight change of mood - whilst this is an album of suckle sweet mor-pop-soul, it's the voices of Louise and Deidre Rutkowski which will be of interest to many. The two sisters gained notable recognition when 4AD's Ivo chose them for vocal duties on many of the tracks for two of the This Mortal Coil albums. These ten tracks are a million miles from This Mortal Coil and Pete Wingfield's production is just glossy and commercial, you even get a Bee-Gees cover thrown into the mix. The album is let down by a poor quality eighties CBS pressing and very oddly, despite the later Rutowski critical acclaim, In An Ideal World has never been released as a compact disc.
