45 jaar From the Lions Mouth!
45 jaar geleden (1981) verscheen From the Lions Mouth, het iconische 2de studio album van The Sound.
Met Hugh Jones als co-producer, engineer voor onder andere Simple Minds, The Teardrop Explodes en Echo & The Bunnymen, werd het album een meesterwerk dat de band ongetwijfeld groot zou maken. Het liep allemaal anders. Een verhaal over grote verwachtingen, dromen, teleurstellingen en wonderschone muziek.
Net als hun 1ste album Jeopardy werd From The Lions Mouth door de pers de hemel ingeschreven, maar commercieel bleef het album achter bij de verwachtingen. Er werden destijds ongeveer 100.000 exemplaren van verkocht. De band deed met name in thuisland Engeland bijna niets (alweer). De populariteit in Nederland was groeiende en ook in Duitsland begon de band het goed te doen.
De hoesafbeelding was afkomstig van het schilderij Daniel in the Lion’s Den van Briton Rivière uit 1872.
Echoes of The Sound speelt het ganse album live met extra nummers zoals Jeopardy, Heartland, Where the love is e.a. We hopen jullie te ontmoeten op één van onze concerten. Let’s keep the music of The Sound and Adrian alive!

45 Years of From the Lions Mouth!
Forty-five years ago (1981), From the Lions Mouth, the iconic second studio album by The Sound, was released.
With Hugh Jones as co-producer—an engineer known for his work with Simple Minds, The Teardrop Explodes, and Echo & The Bunnymen—the album became a masterpiece that seemed destined to make the band a major success. Things turned out differently. It is a story of great expectations, dreams, disappointments, and wonderfully beautiful music.
Like their debut album Jeopardy, From the Lions Mouth was showered with praise by the music press, yet commercially it fell short of expectations. At the time, approximately 100,000 copies were sold. The band once again made little impact in their home country, England. However, their popularity was growing in the Netherlands, and they were also beginning to gain significant traction in Germany.
The album cover artwork was taken from Daniel in the Lion’s Den, a painting by Briton Rivière from 1872.
Echoes of The Sound will perform the entire album live, along with additional songs such as Jeopardy, Heartland, Where the Love Is, and others. We hope to see you at one of our concerts!
Let’s keep the music of The Sound and Adrian alive!
