Alongside his trusted team of sons Jamie (guitar \/ production) and Peter Jr (bass) plus members of his live band, Perrett is assisted by a roster of starry guests including Johnny Marr, Bobby Gillespie and Fontaines DC’s Carlos O’Connell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50451322863947,"sku":"2215155","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red LPx2","offer_id":50451323060555,"sku":"2215156","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50451322208587,"sku":"2215154","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PeterPerrett_thecleansing_3000x3000_9f11cc8c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727122309"},{"product_id":"humanworld","title":"Humanworld","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn his second album for Domino, Peter Perrett – former frontman of The Only Ones - continues to dissect romance and politics with his trademark sense of sardonic wit and wry humour, if not with even more vigour and a palpable sense of immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the recent past’s most unexpected come-back stories, Peter Perrett – former frontman of The Only Ones - resurfaced in 2017 with\u003ci\u003e How The West Was Won\u003c\/i\u003e, an album that saw him chart in the UK, star on BBC Newsnight, sell out rooms at Electric Ballroom and Islington Assembly Hall, and collect accolades across the board. Peter’s band includes his guitar and bass playing sons Jamie and Peter Jr, drummer Jake Woodward, Jenny Maxwell (Microkorg synthesiser, viola, BVs) and Lauren Moon (keys, drums, BVs) - a tight-knit bunch who have honed this album and the previous one with choice live performances here and in Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerrett is not unshackled from his past however: “I would say that power within is positive but that pessimism has heavy connotations. I have to look for duality in everything. No matter how bad things are there is always salvation in any given situation. There used to be a part of me, maybe still is, that doesn’t give a fuck about anything; hence my escapist nature. But having children has changed that. Hence the name of the album. You have to look for the good in the world. A romantic belief perhaps.” “I’m fully aware there are a lot of people who never even thought I’d get to make another album, let alone two, in such a short time.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Heavyweight Black Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - Housed in Mini Gatefold Sleeve with Printed Inner Wallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Limited Heavyweight Blue Coloured Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50498246672715,"sku":"1060888","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue | LP","offer_id":50498246148427,"sku":"1060889","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50498246508875,"sku":"1060886","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/52207736-d5f1-48d1-99ce-68bec9465119_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727742592"},{"product_id":"how-the-west-was-won-2","title":"How the West Was Won","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Perrett - former frontman of The Only Ones - releases his debut solo album \u003ci\u003eHow The West Was Won\u003c\/i\u003e through Domino. Perrett, whose incisive songcraft and sardonic drawl made him one of the most distinctive voices of the Seventies hasn’t released any music for 20 years. Bearing in mind his most famous song began “I always flirt with death” (\u003ci\u003eAnother Girl, Another Planet\u003c\/i\u003e), this is one comeback that nobody saw coming. In the hands of certain songwriters, a story of resurrection and redemption might ring a little hollow, but when the songwriter is Peter Perrett, the usual rules have never applied. Perrett makes each song on \u003ci\u003eHow The West Was Won\u003c\/i\u003e sound natural and effortless, as though he were continuing a briefly interrupted conversation rather than picking up the threads of a solo career that faltered two decades ago. He claims to have barely touched a guitar in the decade between The One’s 1996 album \u003ci\u003eWoke Up Sticky\u003c\/i\u003e and the 2007 reunion of The Only Ones; with Perrett, a hiatus could so easily turn into a hibernation. Yet Perrett’s familiar voice sounds like it simply stepped out of the room for a few minutes and popped back in again. Backed by his sons - Jamie and Peter Jr. on lead guitar and bass respectively - and produced by Chris Kimsey (The Rolling Stones), Peter’s intuitive feel for words; his flair for idiosyncratic metaphors and his deadpan wit are all still as sharp as ever. As demonstrated perfectly by the title track and album opener. It finds him railing against American imperialism and celebrity culture. The songs on\u003ci\u003e How The West Was Won \u003c\/i\u003eexamine complex emotional terrain and extreme human behaviour, shot through as always with wry self-analysis. In a sense the album is a Perrett family affair: there are love songs (\u003ci\u003eAn Epic Story, C Voyeurger)\u003c\/i\u003e from Peter to his wife of 47 years Zena. On \u003ci\u003eSomething In My Brain\u003c\/i\u003e, Perrett discusses good choices, bad choices and ultimately the only choices that will guarantee survival. There are also songs where Perrett opens his curtains and stares out into a much-changed world (\u003ci\u003eMan Of Extremes, Sweet Endeavour\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003ci\u003eHow The West Was Won\u003c\/i\u003e finds Perrett with energy in his blood, rediscovering the importance of rock’n’roll. Having turned 65 over the weekend, he has a fire burning inside him again, and a determination not to blow what could be his last chance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - First run CD with Gatefold wallet sleeve and a booklet containing lyrics and photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Heavyweight black vinyl LP with a Gatefold polylined sleeve, 8 page booklet and comes with MP3 album download card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Deluxe edition Heavyweight Red LP with a Gatefold polylined sleeve, 8 page booklet and comes with MP3 album download card.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"LPx2","offer_id":51006721655115,"sku":"1011326","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51006721556811,"sku":"1011325","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1752babe-4057-4e6b-acc5-e4c63c9eb7f1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1735018553"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/peter-perrett.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
