Kitchens Of Distinction

Charlie was formed by guitarist and vocalist Terry Thomas in the seventies. The band was signed to major label Polydor and recorded a number of albums including Fantasy Girls, No Second Chance and Lines. The band also undertook a number of high profile tours including support to Fleetwood Mac on the Rumours tour in 1977 and Foreigner in 1979. The band continued through the eighties with the line-up still led by Terry Thomas, and Charlie also secured hit singles in America with the songs She Loves To Be In Love and their biggest hit It's Inevitable in 1983. The band continued until 1986 when the final studio album entitled In Pursuit of Romance was released. After this Terry Thomas embarked on a hugely successful career as producer working with bands such as Bad Company and Foreigner. In 2009 Terry decided to resurrect Charlie and the band recorded Kitchens of Distinction - their first album in almost twenty five years. Kitchens of Distinction harks back to the AOR sound of the band's heyday and most successful period. This re-issue at mid-price contains a bonus CD of previously unreleased material provided by Terry Thomas.
