Notes: After the failure of the first incarnation of Empire (see Mark I), Banks and ex-wife Sydney Foxx (a.k.a. Sidonie Jordan) came to the US and tried again with a new line-up. They were no more successful then before and these recordings had to wait until 1996 before being released. No writing credits are given, but were available when this material was included within The Complete Recordings.
The album is in a similar style to the other two Empire releases
(perhaps
closer to Mark I than Mark III)
and Banks still gets plenty of good guitar licks along the way.
