Description
From the Guardian 3rd Jan 20 04 on the death of Ron Aspery
Ron Aspery
The saxophonist behind a Yorkshire fusion band that briefly conquered the music world - and left a unique legacy John Fordham Sat 3 Jan 2004 01.02 GMTIn the 1970s, a fusion trio, Back Door, wailed out of a remote pub on the Yorkshire moors, hooked a record deal with Warner Brothers on its first appearance at Ronnie Scott's club in London, and was soon playing international stadia, - and California's Fillmore West. Ron Aspery, who has died of a stroke aged 57, was Back Door's saxophonist, keyboard player and dominant composer and no fusion band anywhere in the world at that time sounded quite like Back Door, one of the most original jazz groups ever to have formed in Britain.
I am trying to clear out at home and found a few records I think may of interest to others, before the rest go to the charity shop. I was lucky enough to see Back Door perform at the Lion Inn which is why I have this copy of their privately published first LP. See the pics and condition report. I am not a collector but it all seems an excellent opportunity to get this rare album. Ask for more info or pics if unsure. UK BUYERS ONLYprice rating
