Middle Of The Road - Phase 4 Stereo (1973)






















I can't remember the last time I posted a Phase 4 album, so here's a nice compilation from '73.  There really are some oustanding tracks on this; Les Reed's Good Morning Starshine, Stanley's Black's These Boots Are Made For Walking and Everybody's Talkin' by Claude Denjean.

I've been looking for this album for a while and was pretty excited on Saturday when I found it at my local record fair for a £1.  OK, so the condition could be better, but it doesn't sound too bad.

As for Mike Leander, he really has two claims to fame.  Firstly, as fellow Beatles anoraks will know Mike was the only person apart from George Martin to arrange strings on a Beatles record:  the wonderful She's Leaving Home.  Secondly, he co-wrote and produced most of Gary Glitter's hits in the 70's.  I think he may have been house producer for Bell.  But don't quote me as I may have made that up.

Anyway, enjoy and share my excitement!

Edmundo Ros - Heading South....Of The Border (1971)






































It's Sunday, it's warm and sunny and I have a lemonade in my hand.  This is the last part of the jigsaw for my perfect day.  Includes what is surely the best version of Light My Fire ever?

Ted Heath and his Music - The Big Ones (1970)




















I've been on a bit of a posting frenzy in the last couple of days.  Here's one of my favourites, the last(?) album by the great Ted Heath.  Some great tunes on here.  My favourite being the funky-mellow Don't Cha Hear Me Calling Ya?

And yes, it's another Phase 4.
