LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

One of the most influential and consequential music visionaries ever" - Mojo magazine Producer, composer, arranger, director, artist, musician, singer, actor, dramatist, stand-up comedian, restaurant critic... is there anything Mark Wirtz can't do? It seems not. The Ivor Novello-winning Mr Wirtz returns with a brand new collection of songs, Love Is Eggshaped, the soundtrack to his successful illustrated book of the same name. Yes, the creator of Grocer Jack and the brains behind seminal recordings by (deep breath) Marlene Dietrich, Bobbie Gentry, Tomorrow, Wanda Jackson, Kim Fowley, Brinsley Schwartz, Bobby Sherman, Helen Reddy, Anthony Newley, Dean Martin, Leon Russell and Bob Monkhouse to name but a few, is back with his first new album in, oooh, far too long. Mark has lost none of the melodic nous, quirky worldview or production savvy that have earned him his enviable reputation and he wants to share it all with you, you lucky, lucky people! And who do you think is going to bring this cavalcade of sound to your ears? Yep, you guessed right. Rev-Ola strikes again. Don't say we never do anything for you...
