Tony Mitchell’s KISS OF THE GYPSY – Unfinished Business [Deluxe Edition +8] (2022) Out Of Print *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

KISS OF THE GYPSY are back! Initially planned as some bonus tracks for a new TONY MITCHELL solo album, the band is presented theCD “Unfinished Business“ of original material, just in time to celebrate the 30th Anniversary release of their Self-Titled “Kiss Of The Gypsy” major label debut on Atlantic Records.
While frontman Tony Mitchell is now in the midst of a highly successful solo career, there was certainly Unfinished Business at hand with Kiss Of The Gypsy, and songs such as ‘Eye Of The Hurricane’, ‘Duty To Party’ and ‘Runaways’ sound like massive radio hits that fans of the first album will be over the moon for.
Tony Mitchell released this CD under the KOTG moniker with his own name attached – ‘Tony Mitchell’s KISS OF THE GYPSY’ – to differentiate it from the original KOTG, which had a vastly different line up. But don’t worry, these are incredible musicians, and the band rocks!

Mitchell was to include bonus tracks on his upcoming solo album that he had written as KOTG to include for a special edition release. What started off as possible bonuses for a Tony Mitchell solo CD, quickly turned into a full blown, long awaited Kiss Of The Gypsy album. And this Deluxe Edition includes 8 Extra Tracks.

‘Sin City’ is another killer rocker of glorious proportions while ‘Time To Heal’ has a vibrant spiritual quality that is wondrous to behold. The concluding track ‘Wild Horses’ ‘is another standout with it’s thrilling “running wild, running free” lyrics rocking the listener into the stratosphere.

Thirty years after the debut the time has come for new KISS OF THE GYPSY material. Musically some ideas go back to the early Nineties and the production is pleasantly old-school – think 1990-91 – with a current bright mastering.
There might be more stuff in the future… Hope we hear a lot more from Mitchell’s Kiss Of The Gypsy soon.
