Nigel Lived Nigel Lived Nigel Lived is the first album by the British lead vocalist and actor Murray Head, released in 1973 on CBS Records. It is a concept album which tells the story of Nigel, a young singer who arrives in London seeking to make a career in the music business. His early optimism gives way to disillusionment, struggle, and finally heroin addiction. The original vinyl release came in an elaborate package, with a lyric sheet featuring pages from Nigel's diary to depict the course of his gradual disintegration. In 2017 Intervention Records reissued Nigel Lived on 180-gram double 45RPM vinyl.
