Courtney David - Midsummer Madness/Shooting Sta [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.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 but 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.rrSeeking 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.rrDavid 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, a property later made famous by Eddie Van Halen (who bought the house from David) and renamed it 5051 studios.rrDavid and Mike Love from the Beach Boys became friends and Mike wanted to take David's new album 'Shooting Star' and turn it exclusively into the new Beach Boys album. David's response - 'No'! Once again he put the album 'back in the box' but 33 years later it now sees the light of day. Two lost gems, mastered and available commercially for the first time.
