KICK ‘Memoirs’ (2013): In 2010, Mikey set about creating another solo album. It was clear that Nick Workman was busy finding success with Vega and so a decision was made to release this album under the KICK banner with Mikey on lead vocals. The songs were crafted at Mikey’s home studio and remastered by Chris. Outstanding tracks include, ‘Thrill Seeking Junkie, ‘Radio’ and ‘Urban Refugee.’

 

MIKEY JONES ‘The Light Of Day’ Remastered (2006): This was Mikey’s first solo album and achieved 85/100 at melodicrock.com. It was released on CD, but this version was remixed. The lead vocals are a lot clearer than the original version, which was the main criticism. Mikey was invited onto Malcolm Dome’s Totalrock radio show and he championed the album, which also achieved cult status. The album has an array of differing styles, but never veers far from the strong melodies which are indicative of Mikey’s songwriting.

 

KICK ‘New Horizon’ Remastered (2004): Nick, Chris and Mikey stayed together and came up with this follow-up after all the distractions. There are some huge moments on this album, with songs such as ‘Electric Storm,’ ‘New Horizon’ and the epic, ‘Watch Me Fly’.

 

WILDKARD 'Megalomania' (2007): This album was written by Chris Jones and Nick Workman, and featured Mikey Jones on bass. It was actually recorded in 1997 but remixed 10 years later, so it is pre-KICK. The songs are anthemic, and suited Nick Workman’s vocals well. Nicks’ recent work with Vega is of a similar nature - just great AOR!   

 

KICK ‘Sweet Lick of Fire’ (2001): This is the finished album and showed the direction and promise which should have launched KICK into the big time. However, the band was affected heavily by disruptions in the business side of things, and they parted company with Sanctuary records, but you cannot disregard the quality of these songs and their execution. 

 

KICK ‘Sweet Lick Of Fire’ (Demos 1999): KICK looked for a darker. moodier sound on this album. ‘Kaleidoscopic Eyes,’ ‘Behind Closed Doors’ and ‘Time’ were the pick of a great bunch of songs. The tracks here were demo’d between tours in 1999 and the following year they were recorded at Surrey Sound with producer, Andy Reilly. Benjy Reid III replaced Adam Schunker in the line-up.

 

KICK ‘Consider This…’ Remastered (1999): This remixed version was released by Beast Records and took KICK to a new level. They played tours with Hard Rain, Magnum and Thunder, and took a trip to Germany to support Bonfire. ‘Blue’ was released in video format to Japan, but can be found on YouTube.com. The songs are extremely melodic and instant. It has a bright, powerful sound, which will grab your attention immediately. Olli Cunningham (keyboards) and Adam Schunker (drums) joined the band in 1998.

KICK ‘Consider This....Demos’ (1997-98): This album was the first time that Nick Workman (Eden, Vega) came to the fore, with his vast range and vocal ability. It was released by Sanctuary PLC on Iron Maiden’s, Steve Harris’ Beast Records in 1999. But these were the original demos that helped attract the attention of the record company with ‘Streets Of Shame’ which appeared on a magazine compilation picked up by Sanctuary’s A&R man.

 

FREEFALL ‘Rebel Hard’ Remastered (1996): The Jones Boys needed a new and modern sound, and this was the result, ‘Rebel Hard’ and their Freefall project. The album was shipped into Japan and to further great reviews, heralding tracks such as ‘Breathless’ and ‘Keep The Fire Burning.’  

 

XL 'Rock All Over You' Remastered (1992-93). Brothers, Chris and Mikey Jones went to the USA in an attempt to get a record deal with this Def Leppard 1980s rock sound. It was well-received, but the tide was changing and the grunge era was emerging fast. However, the 6-track EP, ‘Rock All Over You’ developed cult status and eventually sold on eBay for over £100.00 per CD.  But this is the collection, released in its entirety for the first time on iTunes.
