I met Ralph Emmett on the first day of Art College in 1968. He found
me a room in the house where he was staying. We'd both brought our
guitars, both wrote songs and both loved the Beatles. So it was inevitable
that we'd spend the next three years writing songs. We played them
over and over again into a tape recorder. When we left college we
lost touch, but I've been carrying the box of tapes around ever since.
Now that I have the technology to convert music from analogue to digital,
I copied around thirty of the songs to CD. The next logical step was
to take a bunch of the songs and re-record them, in the way that we
dreamed of recording them over thirty years ago.
I think the songs stand up pretty well. They're teenagers' songs,
of course. Heavily influenced by the Beatles, The Incredible String
Band and countless other 60s bands. And maybe they should have been
left alone -but I'm glad that the ghosts of the songs can now be laid
to rest. And I hope that you'll enjoy them - in the spirit of the
Sixties, of course. This CD is dedicated to Ralph, and to those days
we'll never see again.
All songs
and lyrics written by Ralph Emmett and Roger Stevens (1968 - 1972)
