Eurythmic's Dave Stewart to release previously unheard album

• 8th Sep 2006

Today Eurythmics' Dave Stewart announced the U.S. and U.K. release dates of Platinum Weird's previously unavailable classic 1974 album “Make Believe”.

Platinum Weird is the name of Stewart's new no-frills guitar driven rock'n'roll band – his most adventurous band since Eurythmics. The man who brought us “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) has done it again with this rare collection of songs. “Make Believe” is released via Interscope in the U.S. on October 10th, and in the UK on the Weapons of Mass Entertainment label via Universal on October 16th.

Stewart originally formed the the rock band Platinum Weird in 1973 and was signed to Elton John's Rocket Records label. By '74, just before the album was released, lead singer, Erin Grace, disappeared. Now, 32 years later, Dave not only resurrected Platinum Weird with a new singer at the helm, and a new PW studio album, but has miraculously unearthed the master tapes of the previously unreleased '74 “Make Believe” album.
