TEXTURED SLEEVE

Witchi Tai Too", is not just another nice 70s pop record, it's an experience. Those who shared in this experience, besides John, are such famous session luminaries of the time as Clem Cattini (Mike Batt, Bee Gees, Joe Cocker, Cliff Richard, Roy Harper, Albert Lee, Chris Spedding), Mike Morgan, Alan Parker (Blue Mink), Alan Hawkshaw (Cliff Richard, Shadows, Chris Spedding, Dave Kelly, Madeline Bell), et. al.  And of course this album is of a very special value to all fans and lovers of Uriah Heep, for it was their original vocalist David Byron who sang lead vocals on all the tracks that had lyrics, including, of course, the title track.

Thus, "Witchi Tai Too" is also a very clever mixture of instrumentals and songs featuring lead (and sometimes only background) vocals, containing mostly originals but also at least a couple of covers, including The Beatles' renowned "Back in the U.S.S.R." - a completely different reworking compared to the original version!!

The orchestral arrangements on this album were handled by Lew Warburton and of course John himself - well renowned for his flawlessly produced "easy listening" albums (featuring plenty of horns and Hammond organ) of the late 60s/early 70s, very much in the same style as the James Last Orchestra (John's other very important claim to fame was the fact that he was the manager of The Status Quo, as they were called back in the late 60s/early 70s, during their formative years spent with the seminal Pye label).

Whilst I am happy to provide help and advice, all such claims remain the responsibility of and must be made by the buyer. Due to the volume of items handled I am unable to provide on-line trackable proof of posting unless insurance options is requested by and paid for at the time of remittance by the buyer Whilst I endeavour to dispatch items as soon as possible after payment has been received and/or cleared, please allow up to 14 days for UK delivery & 3/4 weeks if overseas. I generally post-out once a week over the weekend; items for which payment has not been received by Wednesday evening are unlikely to be included in that weekend's postal dispatch.
