Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

A hit and a miss in hindsight here. There was indeed a follow up to Searching, and it was arguably more ambitiously foolish than its predecessor in its adoption of Celtic folk stylings, Clayton-Lea, Tony (22 October 2010).

The original album itself sounds much the same as previous CD versions, but then it was always a well produced record, the sumptuous warmth of the brass captured by producer Pete Wingfield being quite astounding. The second disc of A and B sides, demos and Peel sessions merely illuminates this fact, with ‘Dance Stance’ - the original single version of ‘Burn It Down’ - losing some power with its raggedness, whereas on ‘I’m Just Looking’ Rowland’s voice is discomfortingly close. Their covers of Aretha Franklin’s ‘Respect’ and ‘Breakin’ Down the Walls of Heartache’ by Jonny Johnson and the Bandwagon are great, but three versions of the latter is overkill.

Rowland’s audacious punk-soul mix was a winning combination: the album’s lead single, Geno, was a UK No.1 in March 1980; it’s follow-up, There, There, My Dear, reached No.7 in June; and Searching For The Young Soul Rebels itself hit No.6 on the album chart. Yet, Rowland’s strict management of the group caused friction, and Dexys disbanded in 1981, leaving the singer to start again. The team that met in caffs were no more. “No one else was talking about soul. It had potential to be radical”

[7] Although it was named "single of the week" by Sounds, [5] it stalled at number 40 in the British charts, [7] which EMI and Rowland believed was due to Rhodes' poor production.
