Performer Notes

Dexy's Midnight Runners: Kevin Rowland (vocals, guitar); Steve Spooner (alto saxophone); J.B. (tenor saxophone); Big Jim Patterson (trombone); Pete Williams, Pete Saunders (piano, organ); Bobby Junior (drums).
Remastered U.K. edition includes enhanced features and two videos.
Recording information: 04/1980.
Led by the abrasive and single-minded Kevin Rowland, Dexy's Midnight Runners spoke for an all-night culture immersed in northern soul. SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG SOUL REBELS captures the original eight-piece group infusing passionate self-belief into songs based on 60s mentors Geno Washington and Jimmy James. Rowland's expressive voice is perfectly matched by pumping horns and punchy rhythms, but the intensity of their performance ensures the set never falls into pastiche. Each song bears the stamp of a manifesto, one that was largely Rowland's, a myopic vision that brought this line-up to an acrimonious, premature end. His commitment, however, ensured the lasting qualities of this album.
