The New Favourites Of... is the sixth and final album by Brinsley Schwarz and is one that I've only recently got digitized and on the computer. It's a real cracker that includes the first recording of Nick Lowe's What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding.
It has been released in CD before, back in 2001(I don't have a copy of it at all) and that was by a German label Repertoire Records (they included a number of bonus tracks: I've Cried My Last Tear, (It's Gonna Be A) Bringdown, Everybody and There's A Cloud In My Heart).
After their demise Brinsley went to play on the final tour for Ducks Deluxe and then he, Bob Andrews and Martin Belmont of Ducks Deluxe joined up with Graham Parker to play in his backing band The Rumour.
Nick Lowe teamed up with producer of the last album, Dave Edmunds, and they formed Rockpile. Lowe would also go on to have some minor success as a solo artist and also as a producer for Stiff Records and in particular Elvis Costello. Lowe's 1979 hit Cruel To Be Kind was originally recorded for a final album that went unreleased by Brinsley Schwarz.
