Mike + the Mechanics / Looking Back – Living The Years

A new Mike + the Mechanics compilation, Looking Back – Living The Years, will be released in March.

The collection spans 40 years of music and includes tracks from seven of the band’s nine studio albums (1999’s Mike and the Mechanics aka ‘M6’ and 2004’s Rewired are not represented).

Hits include ‘Silent Running’, ‘All I Need is a Miracle’ (in ’96 guise), ‘Living Years’, and ‘Over My Shoulder’, and the compilation features vocals from all Mike + The Mechanics singers through the years: Paul Young (not that one), Paul Carrack, Andrew Roachford, and Tim Howar.

Looking Back – Living The Years will be released on CD on 14 March 2025, via Concord. A double vinyl LP edition follows on 4 April. If you order a 2LP+CD bundle from the official shop, it comes with a signed print.
