This record was supposed to come out for the celebration of New Rose's 15th anniversary.The reason was that New Rose started in junre 1980 because of & thanks to Chris,with the release of "Paralytic Tonight Dublin Tomorrow".
it was the start of a new label & a long & great friendship.

Labels come & go.New Rose will not celebrate it`s fifteenth anniversary.
Last Call makes it's first steps.How much fun it is to start a new label..! it makes me remember the day I met Chris in London... I was hoping to convince him to release a record on a label that did not exist yet,did not have any money,just a lot of enthusiasm.He could have laughed at me and advised me to take the next ferry back to Paris.

Fifteen years later....we are still having the same fun....!
"Encore"does not as originally planned celebrate any anniversary.
Who cares...?
This record is a collection of great songs - many of which he wrote - the others he loves -by an extrordinary singer/songwriter/performer/man :
Chris Bailey.
