2016 three CD collection. The Truth were formed by singer/guitarist Dennis Greaves, after the demise of his previous band Nine Below Zero in 1982, with guitarist Mick Lister, ex-9BZ bassist Brian Bethell, drummer Gary Wallace and organist Chris Skornia (Fabulous Poodles). Where Nine Below Zero were an out-and-out R&B band, The Truth were a more soulful entity, tapping into the vibrant Mod Revival scene on the back of The Jam's demise in late 1982. Signing with WEA's Formation label, The Truth charted with their debut single, the vibrant and uplifting 'Confusion (Hits Us Everytime'), which reached # 22 in May 1983. The follow-up, 'A Step In The Right Direction', peaked at # 32 that August. A third single, 'No Stone Unturned', was released in February 1984. The band then signed with I. R. S. Very few of the dozen or so Truth tracks (spread across various formats) have ever been reissued on CD. Until now! A Step In The Right Direction is the first-ever retrospective of The Truth's early recordings, boasting not only their entire output for Formation but also two further discs of live material and a handful of previously unheard demos! Disc Two combines two BBC concerts which were broadcast at the time. Disc Three finds The Truth in full effect at the famous Marquee, a venue which Nine Below Zero had made their own. Many of these concerts boast songs which the band never issued on vinyl. Dennis Greaves and Mick Lister have been involved with this worthwhile release, with sleevenotes by Mojo's Lois Wilson. The package is housed in an attractive card wallet as a fitting tribute to one of the key Mod bands of the period.
