Japan 24-Bit Remaster

The third album for Pye’s Dawn imprint from the stylish guitarist who had previously worked with Roy Harper, Al Stewart and as part of The Strawbs as well as supplying some of the key guitar parts on Fire’s buried treasure The Magic Shoemaker. Later Paul Brett would embrace a more classical guitar style as his three albums under the Sage moniker failed to ignite audiences but, without doubt they are all buried treasures for all their cosmic harmonies and beautifully crafted songs.

Paul Brett (born 20 June 1947, Fulham, London) is a classic rock guitarist. He played lead guitar with Strawbs, The Overlanders, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera, The Velvet Opera, Tintern Abbey, Fire, Roy Harper, Al Stewart, Lonnie Donegan, and switched to twelve string guitar in the 1970s.

His first twelve string guitar suite, Earth Birth, was released on his own label, Phoenix Future and was produced by artist Ralph Steadman of Fear and Loathing fame. Critical acclaim led to Brett being signed on a four album deal with RCA Records. His K-tel Romantic Guitar album went platinum in the UK, but Brett stopped recording soon afterwards. He started recording again in 2000, with long time friend and fellow twelve string guitarist, John Joyce.

Brett wrote for music magazines Melody Maker, Sound International and International Musician and continued working in the music industry in the later part of his career. He now writes a regular column for Acoustic, a magazine specializing in acoustic guitars. Is also the Associate Editor and Features Writer for Music Maker and Live in London magazines.

He has appeared on BBC Television's Antiques Road Show and Flog It in the mid 2000s.
