Re: The Graham Gouldman Thing(68) & Tony Hazzard Sings Tony Hazzard(69).....2 of the same kind??

That Mike Hurst 1970 album"Home"album is a baroque pop delight,or certainly a chamber pop influenced beauty ......its a rather little known,or even unknown album to many who are late 60s/early 70s uk pop lovers,i bought a cd with another of his albums"In My Time"from 1971 on it issued by Angel Air,the musicians on "Home"are impressive,with Rod Argent,Big Jim Sullivan,Herbie Flowers,Jon Lord,Tubby Hayes,John Paul Jones and marvellous strings and things arrange by Phil Dennys...,mostly self written songs by Mike Hurst,with only 1 cover,the Buffalo Springfield"Hung Upside Down"which was writtemn by Stephen Stills!!

A worthy mention Mr Secret,and an album that MUST be heard by many on here.If not already done so.

I think the Tony Hazzard Sings album is one of the best underappreciated 60’s pop albums. It plays like a Greatest Hits. The Graham Gouldman album is fine as well. “Fade Away Maureen” on the Tony Hazzard album is so great. It beats the Cherry Smash version imho.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've listened to both albums and thoroughly enjoyed them. And I agree the Tony Hazzard is a near masterpiece.
