When top-class musicianship and great songwriting meet, the result can help to define an era. Such was the case with Spin Doctors\u2019 \u2018Pocket Full Of Kryptonite\u2019, one of the biggest smashes of the 1990s, selling over 10 million copies worldwide. Featuring hit after hit, from \u2018Two Princes\u2019 to \u2018Little Miss Can\u2019t Be Wrong\u2019 and more, the original album reached #3 on Billboard\u2019s Top 200 Album Chart, made the magazine\u2019s Top 100 list of the Best-Selling Albums of The Decade, hit #2 in the UK and #1 in Australia and New Zealand, was certified 3x Platinum in Canada, Gold in Germany, France, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Singapore, and cemented the group\u2019s debut as an international phenomenon. In fact, \u2018Two Princes\u2019 was the most-played rock song in the world in 1993, and was recently certified by BMI with 3 million international radio plays (\u2018Little Miss\u2019 is at the 2 Million mark.) <\/p>\n
As a live band, the core members of Spin Doctors (Chris Barron (lead vocals), Eric Schenkman (guitar), Mark White (bass), and Aaron Comess (drums),) are among the best in the business, a fact often overshadowed by their commercial success, but arguably more important than ever. Now, with the upcoming release of \u2018Pocket Full of Kryptonite: 20th Anniversary Edition\u2019, Spin Doctors are hitting the road once again to do what they do best: perform great pop\/rock songs for live audiences.? Like their H.O.R.D.E. allies Phish, Blues Traveler, Allman Brothers and more, and like The Black Crowes, Counting Crows and other respected contemporaries, Spin Doctors are a reminder that hits and chops needn\u2019t be mutually exclusive. ?Here\u2019s a clip of the band performing \u2018Two Princes\u2019 in Manchester, England last month: http:\/\/www.romanklun.com\/spin-doctors\/two_princes.mov <\/p>\n

A recently completed series of UK dates proved the band is still at the top of its game. Veteran rock critic David Sinclair commented, \u201cThe Spin Doctors didn\u2019t waste any time getting the crowd involved. On a warm summer night in North London the venue was rammed, and the group\u2019s rubber-limbed frontman Chris Barron had the whole place singing along from the very first song of the night, a deli\u00adcious\u00adly fast and funky \u2018Jimmy Olsen\u2019s Blues\u2019\u2026 this show was all about reliving the good times.\u201d \u201cThe idea for this tour was to play the songs from Kryptonite in sequence and in full \u2013 the first time they had done such a thing\u2026\u201d \u201cThe crowd knew what to expect, even if they were surprised to find the gig getting off to such a flying start. But then there always was a special magic attached to that album.\u201d<\/p>\n
New York-based Spin Doctors debuted to the sort of explosive success and attention most bands can only dream of: appearances on Saturday Night Live, The Grammy Awards, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, multiple slots on Late Show with David Letterman, and live appearances on tour with The Rolling Stones confirmed the Spin Doctors\u2019 as one of the biggest bands of the decade — and Rolling Stone Magazine trumpeted their success with a coveted cover story. Back in the day, you couldn\u2019t walk by a college dorm that wasn\u2019t blasting \u2018Pocket Full Of Kryptonite\u2019, or turn on MTV and not see one of their spirited videos. <\/p>\n
The double-disk \u2018Pocket Full Of Kryptonite: 20th Anniversary Edition\u2019 will feature the remastered album plus rare, never before released demo recordings and live tracks from \u201cback in the day\u201d. <\/p>\n
Disk one will include a remastered version of the classic album.? Its quintet of single releases ruled the charts for over 18 months:<\/p>\n
– \u201cLittle Miss Can’t Be Wrong\u201d (the first single, Billboard Hot 100 #17, Album Rock #2 for 4 weeks);
– \u201cTwo Princes\u201d (the Grammy Award-nominated second single, Hot 100 #7, Album Rock #2 for 7 weeks);
– \u201cJimmy Olsen’s Blues\u201d (the third single, Hot 100 #78, Album Rock #8);
-? \u201cWhat Time Is It?\u201d (the fourth single, Album Rock #26);
– \u201cHow Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me?)\u201d (the fifth single, Album Rock #28).<\/p>\n
Disk Two is comprised of early demo recordings by the band and is a must-own for Spin Doctors fans.? These demos were only ever available for sale at gigs on two cassettes, entitled Can\u2019t Say No (1989) and Piece Of Glass (1990), cherished by fans who\u2019ve held on to the tapes all these years.? Songs from the demos were later developed on Pocket Full Of Kryptonite and the subsequent albums, Homebelly Groove…Live (1993), Turn It Upside Down (1994) and You’ve Got to Believe in Something (1996).? Two of the demo tunes \u2013 \u201cCan\u2019t Say No\u201d and \u201cTurn It Upside Down\u201d \u2013 do not appear on any official Spin Doctors album.<\/p>\n
Along with Spin Doctors, Producers of the original album were Peter Denenberg, the late Frankie LaRocca, and Frank Aversa. Denenberg mixed the record as well. <\/p>\n
