TO cash in on the Christie name and success, former lead guitarist
Vic Elmes formed his own band called Christie Again, playing
gigs at which he would perform the old Christie hits as well
as the songs he wrote while with Christie.
In 2004, Vic's group released a brand
new album featuring re-recordings of several Christie hits
and songs, as well as some new ones.
Called Christie
Again Greatest Hits and More, the CD was initially
released in European countries such as Germany, Sweden and
Austria, and later in Asia and South America.
Vic includes his most well-known Christie
songs on the CD, including the wonderful New
York City and a punchy reworking of Every
Now and Then. As well, he contributes three new songs
written in the Christie country-pop style: Deep
In The Night, Heartbreak Cabin, and Break
Free Tonight.
Helping out on the CD is
devoted Christie fan Lorenzo Gabanizza, along with his brothers.
Together they re-record some old Christie tunes, as well as
some new ones written by Lorenzo.
As a bonus for Christie fans, the hard-to-find
original version of Jo Jo's Band,
featuring Jeff and Paul with Vic, is included. The
CD closes with Vic's version of the Ricky Nelson hit Garden
Party, which includes the intriguing lines: "They
all knew my name, But no-one recognised me, I didn't look
the same". Read into that what you will.
There is also a bonus of a well-produced
video clip for Deep In The Night,
a song that had been intended for a single release in the
80s.
The CD has been released on a number of
different labels, each with different covers.
