2015 is a busy year for Michael Head. His second single as Michael Head & The Red Elastic Band was released in March 2015 on his Violette Records. "I Know You Well," a 1990 single by Head's band Shack, leads off Jon Savage's 2015 Perfect Motion double LP compilation, described as "a musical return-trip to these fondly remembered years spanning 1988-93." And now, his classic 1997 album The Magical World of The Strands is available as a deluxe reissue. This reissue of this all-time classic also appears alongside The Olde World (MEGAUK 023CD/LP), a collection previously unreleased tracks and remixes from the album sessions. Finally, both the reissue and The Olde World arrive in advance of Head's first gigs as Michael Head & The Strands, where they will play The Magical World of the Strands in full. In 1993, Head teamed up with his brother John, his longtimedrummer Iain Templeton, and two new recruits, Michelle Brown on bass and Les Roberts on flute, and began two years of recording sessions. The sessions came to a halt when Head was offered a major label deal, not for his current work, but for him to record as Shack again. Weaving rough mixes and sketches - by engineer Steve Powell, made in Liverpool - with completed mixes by producer Mark Coyle, Stephane Bismuth, the French promoter who initiated the Strands sessions, finally released The Magical World of The Strands on Megaphone in 1997. This work-in-progress garnered great critical acclaim and is rated by many as the "rarest jewel of the 90s" (Q). The CD version of this reissue includes two bonus tracks, the B-sides to the 1998 NME and Melody Maker Single of the Week "Somethin' Like You." "Green Velvet Jacket" is an acoustic solo piece by Head, and "Queen Matilda (Demo)" was recorded in early 1993 and produced by the band's friend and live engineer Ian Eastwood on a four-track Tascam cassette recorder. The CD and LP both include a 20-page booklet containing new liner notes by Head himself and photographs testifying to album sleeve's work-in-progress.

5/5 Stars
Color: 01-black, Size: Large, Color: 01-black, Size: Large
I absolutely love this black cowboy shirt! The first time I put it on, I could feel the quality. The material is comfortable but sturdy, and the embroidery on the front and sleeves is just beautiful. It gives that true Western vibe while still looking classy and modern.
What I really like most is the fit — it’s sharp and clean but still gives me room to move and stay comfortable. I paired it with my boots and belt, and the whole outfit came together perfectly. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing this shirt, and it definitely makes me feel confident and put together.
Whether I’m dressing up for an event or just want to rock a casual cowboy look, this shirt never misses. It’s definitely one of my favorite pieces in my closet now!

Too loose
Color: Black (Retro Rose), Size: Small
I really like this shirt, but unfortunately it is way too loose for a size S. It looks like a XL. A shirt like that should be tight.

Slick White Shirt
The shirt is actually pretty nice. The material is a bit thicker without being heavy so it isn't see through. The material is also soft and silky on the skin.
I ordered a large as I am somewhat between a medium and a large depending on the clothing. The large was a bit big on me. It didn't really have any shape to it. I am 5'10" about 170 and the shirt was too big. If you normally wear a large I would say stick with the large but if you are between sizes size down.
I did wash and dry it to try to get some of the wrinkles out and drying it got a decent amount of the wrinkles out. The problem is, and why I took off 1 star is that I assume drying it caused the material to kind of bunch a little around the buttons. The shirt just isn't smooth/flat anymore around the buttons. Otherwise it's a nice shirt I'd recommend for things like resort wear or a summer business casual party.
