In 1975 Mike Levon closed down Holyground (temporarily as it turned out) to start a new studio venture in Doncaster.
In the last few midsummer weeks he suggested to Steve Channing that some of his songs, plus some
Mike and Steve would write later on, should be recorded. Mike asked the members of 'Lazy Days' to join in giving
(as he thought before the recording sessions) a line up of Steve on vocal / acoustic guitar; Dave Wilson on electric guitar;
Alan Robinson on bass; and John Shepard on drums.None of the band had met Steve on the first day of recording,
and to Mike's surprise Lazy Days turned up with a Hammond organ player, Mick Spurr, who also added an early Moog synth
to the line-up. The results, even on the first day, were magic - a lively set of songs driven by Steve's vocals and skills
on guitar, and backed by a tight and fluid group. The songs, often blued based, were lovely.
The atmosphere was electric, and pushed along by the knowledge that Holyground was ending.
Steve and Lazy Days had been regulars since the 70's - Steve appearing first on Jumble Lane and Lazy Days
had recorded there on several occasions and in different line-ups. This album captures the end of an era.
Highly Recommended [ChrisGoesRock]
