Product Information

David Courtney has, through a long and successful career, achieved that elusive smash hit record that many generations of songwriters strive to achieve. Hit songs such as "One Man Band", " The Show Must Go On", "Giving It All Away" to name a few By 1975 he took time out to pursue his solo career, releasing his debut album "First Day" which caused a few ripples in the UK but charted in the USA. Seeking to maintain the momentum of that success he travelled to Honky Chateau Studios, France (where the studio had attracted David Bowie to Elton John to Pink Floyd to Cat Stevens) and assembled an amazing cast of musicians (who collectively performed as Argent) and recorded "Midsummer Madness" and on returning to the UK the album was mixed by legendary Beatles engineer Geoff Emmerick. David on playback was not comfortable it was the right album to follow "First Day" and he took the difficult decision to mothball it. With hindsight he had produced a classic Prog Rock album which is now released for the first time 35 years later. The bonus album "Shooting Star" was recorded in 1980 when David was living at 3361 Cold Water Canyon, Los Angeles

Rezensionen

,,... melodischer Pop-Rock mit Charakter, dessen Anteil in der Punk / New- Wave-Ära kleiner wurde, der aber eine (Wieder-)Entdeckung lohnt." (Good Times, April / Mai 2013)
