Recorded at Olympic Studios in Barnes 1975
The album, Prestidigitation, launched 20th Century Records and featured the LSO, the
English Chamber Choir and an all-star cast of players, including Keith Tippett (King Crimson) on piano,
Australia’s Terry Britten from The Twilights (who later co-wrote Tina Turner’s
‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’) on guitar, and Blue Mink’s Herbie Flowers on bass.
Produced by Lou Reizner .
The Title track was probably the most difficult I've ever sung with the ECC. . .
The Song is more or less a Horror Story - quite scary, with difficult timings going on
Great Fun to do though
On release the cover looked like This . . . . .
20th Century Records afforded it virtually NO promotion and it disappeared into obscurity
