Product Description
          
          
            
              For singer/songwriter Lloyd Cole, now then is the time for `Cleaning Out the Ashtrays&apos; - for sorting through dusty boxes of cassettes, DAT tapes and CDs in his Easthampton hideaway, to take stock and find all those lost songs; half remembered sessions, much-missed fellow-musicians and gifted co-producers. A goldmine of music from 21 years as a solo artist. Here, then, are 59 - count `em - nuggets from the Cole vaults. A 4xCD boxset bursting with unreleased songs, alternate versions, rare b-sides, cover versions (Lou Reed, Marc Bolan and Leonard Cohen songs), and a few tracks that the record companies - and on occasion, even Lloyd himself - just didn&apos;t get at the time. Cole has researched and compiled the `Cleaning Out the Ashtrays&apos; project himself - now, all of us can share in the riches that lay hidden inside that dusty old boxes.

    Lloyd's Leftovers!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015*

This is a very good set of some of Lloyd Cole's leftovers.  This 4 CD set is all Lloyd, no Commotions here.  Also it should be said that most of the material here is Lloyd and guitar, so it can be and is very mellow.  So if you are into Lloyd, and if you aren't you should be, and want to hear some of his songs and some very good covers that didn't quite make his solo albums, this is a great place to be.

    A treasure
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2012*

Lloyd Cole is one of those very rare musicians that can do no wrong for me. I still remember the exact spot I was standing when I heard "Perfect Skin" from his Rattlesnakes album for the first time. I was so struck by it and captured by the unique sound that Lloyd Cole does better than anyone else. I just love the guy.But even with that level of adulation, I was skeptical about how good this 4 CD collection of songs stored on old DAT tapes stuffed in old shoeboxes, etc., could actually be. Surely even Lloyd Cole has some duds here and there.Well, if he does have some duds, they are not anywhere to be found on this collection. This is good stuff. If you like Lloyd Cole, it's worth every penny of the $50+ purchase price. And if you just like really good music performed by one of the best singer/songwriters of the past few decades, well, what are you waiting for? There's gold here.I will always remember Christmas 2012 as special, because that was when I got this rare rare treat of 4 CDs of Lloyd Cole.If by chance the artist occasionally drops by to read reviews of what others are saying, I'd like to add a heartfelt thank you for this. And, also, a great big thanks for reforming a group and issuing your 2010 release, Broken Record. Man, that was a great CD! Your talent and ability is as strong as ever.

    A Great Overview with all the right missing pieces
  

*by E***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2012*

As a long-time Lloyd Cole fan (including the Commotions), this purchase was a no brainer. The sound is great. The liner notes are even better;) Very personal. All the right b-sides and rarities. The packaging is excellent and attractive. This is well worth it for any fan.
