Simply Red | TIME | CD

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band formed in Manchester in 1984 by lead vocalist and songwriter Mick Hucknall, with three former members of The Durutti Column, Sylvan Richardson and Fritz McIntyre. The band signed to Elektra Records and released its debut album Picture Book in October 1985. By 1996 Hucknall was the only remaining original member, and after being dropped by EastWest in 2000 the band set up the website simplyred.com, which became its own label. Their biggest hits include It's Only Love and If You Don't Know Me By Now, both from 1989.

This is a deluxe edition CD of Simply Red's Time, a single disc album released in Europe on simplyred.com in 2023, with three bonus tracks. Dan Roberts is credited as producer, with additional production by Gavin Goldberg, and the BBC Concert Orchestra features on the album, arranged by Sam Swallow. Mick Hucknall is credited on vocals.
