Spooky Tooth ?It's All About LP 1968 Australian pink label Island RARE
Original Australian pressing on rare Island pink label, with stickered sleeve.
Spooky Tooth was an English rock band principally active, with intermittent breakups, between 1967 and 1974. In recent years, the band has been reconstituted at various points, and continues to perform occasionally.
Crucial to their sound was their instrumentation; they were one of the relatively few rock acts of the time to adopt the twin keyboard approach (both an organ and a piano player).
They formed in October 1967, when Gary Wright joined the band Art. The band name Art only existed from April to October 1967. Art was renamed from The V.I.P.s, as the name fitted better to the new musical direction taken on the album Supernatural Fairy Tales. Gary Wright held a significant role from the start. He wrote the majority of the first Spooky Tooth album, some even with record producer Jimmy Miller instead of band members.
The line-up changed several times, but typically was:
Mike Harrison – lead and backing vocals, piano (born Michael Harrison, 3 September 1945, Carlisle, Cumbria)
Gary Wright – organ, backing and lead vocals (born Gary Malcolm Wright, 26 April 1943, Cresskill, New Jersey, US)
Luther (Luke) Grosvenor – guitar, backing vocals (born Luther James Grosvenor, 23 December 1946, Evesham, Worcestershire)
Greg Ridley – bass, backing vocals (born Alfred Gregory Ridley, 23 October 1947, Carlisle — died 19 November 2003, in Alicante, Spain)
Mike Kellie – drums (born Michael Alexander Kellie, 24 March 1947, Birmingham, Warwickshire)
Gary Wright was introduced to the members of Art by Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records.
It's All About is their 1968 debut album. The album was originally released in England by Island Records.
In West Germany the record was released by Fontana. The American version of the album, entitled Spooky Tooth, was originally released on Bell in 1968. It was reissued in 1971 as Tobacco Road.
