I’ve been hanging round here for a couple of years now and thought it was time to step back and have a think about it all.... This is my Recording Review
A bit of background:
As some of you know, I was signed up to EMI (UK) back in the early 80’s. Fascinating adventure, long story but I walked away. If I can, I'll attach a very scratchy copy of a song I did at Abbey Rd - just to sort of lay my ghosts to rest.... I was still singing about dark seas and angst back then,
