Cross Purpose

1999 Album by Spooky Tooth

USA cover European cover 

That Was Only Yesterday (Wright); Tears (Reed); Throw Me A Line (Grosvenor; Dolan); It's You Girl (Message To Deborah) (Ridley); Love Is Real (Harrison); Sunshine (Wallinger); How (Kellie); Send Me Some Lovin' (Price; Marascalco); I Can't Believe (traditional); Kiss It Better (Grosvenor; Harrison; Kellie; Ridley)

Plans for a Spooky Tooth reunion album were initiated in 1997. Luther Grosvenor, Mike Harrison , Greg Ridley, and Mike Kellie went into FFG Studios in Gloucester in July, and three tracks were finished: Mike Kellie's How, the group composition Kiss It Better, and Sunshine (written by Karl Wallinger of World Party). Additional sessions were planned for October 1997, but the physical distance between the group members made rehearsals difficult and the plans fell apart.

With no new material in sight, plans were laid for a 1998 album called Sunshine, which would combine the three new studio tracks with a 1968 BBC live concert and an unreleased Deep Feeling track. But when the Ruf organization heard the new material, they asked asked the band to record more material, and agreed to shoulder the cost of bringing the band to Adapoe Sound in Weimar, Germany. Grosvenor, Harrison, Ridley, and Kellie spent September 12-20, 1998 recording seven new tracks for the album. The disc album finally surfaced in February 1999 as Cross Purpose, released in both the USA and Europe.

Live In Europe

2001 Album by Spooky Tooth

cover 

Sunshine Help Me (Wright); Too Much Of Nothing (Dylan); Feelin' Bad (Kellie; Wright); The Weight (Robertson); I Can't Quit Her (Kooper; Levine); Blues Town (Harrison; King; Wright) - Spooky Tooth [1968 BBC live tracks]; Pretty Colours (unknown) - Deep Feeling [previously unreleased]; Sunshine (Wallinger); How (Kellie) - Spooky Tooth [early mixes from Cross Purpose sessions]; Better By You, Better Than Me; Soulful Lady [Unidentified live bonus tracks]

The aborted 1998 album Sunshine finally surfaced in 2001 with a change in title. The two tracks from Cross Purpose are original mixes, before overdubs. The Deep Feeling track is previously unreleased, and is an interesting pseudo-psychedelic artifact.
