LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Happiness Pauper's Son Yoyo Thoughts And I Try Winterface My What A Lovely Day Its Been Jim Come Here Philwit's Fantasies Lonely Flower Spinning Carousel To Pegasus With Love And She Came Final Thought BonusTtracks: Elephant Song Pseudo Phoney Mixed Up Croney Mr Sun King Avalon Philwit and Pegasus was another creation by Mark Wirtz. Encouraged by fellow writer producer Les Reed, who released the album originally on his own Chapter One label, Mark finally got to make a concept album. Most definitely not the Teenage Opera but a wonderful harmony drenched soft pop mind piece, enhanced through the involvement of John Carter, Peter Lee Stirling and Roger Greenaway. Not heavily promoted at the time, although championed by Kenny Everett on his Radio Show, where he even made up commercials using Philwit backing music. This first ever reissue is augmented by the non album single and two producer demos Wirtz made at the same sessions . This is a release that taps into several known collectors groups, Wirtz, John Carter, harmony pop, with the original LP increasing in price all the while as the profile among collectors of Wirtz and Carter steadily grows. A number of Internet News groups have sprung up in the past 12 months on Mark Wirtz, plus a dedicated web site, and awareness of his back catalogue is growing yet further. This is the first ever reissue of this album, and the first time on CD. Digitally re-mastered with detailed packaging this is a great album for collectors of Harmony Pop LPs or Mark Wirtz, and John Carter fans.
