Description

MIKE WESTBROOK MEGA RARE

(one of the rarest Mike Westbrook recordings ever)

MIKE WESTBROOK COMPOSES MUSIC

FOR A CELEBRATION OF WILLIAM BLAKE'S

“TYGER”

VINYL LP

1971 1st UK Pressing on the

RCA Red Seal Label

SER 5612

with original insert Libretto!

Mike Westbrook's work for the theatre began with Adrian Mitchell's 'Tyger' a celebration of William Blake, staged by the Royal National Theatre in 1971. This became a vehicle for his Brass Band of the 70's and 80's. The Brass Band also recorded 'Mama Chicago' described as a Jazz Cabaret which featured the voices of Phil Minton and Kate Westbrook - which I am also selling on ebay together with the triple LP called 'The Cortege' - see my 'other items for sale' listings.
