It's so easy by eBay
Shrinkwrapped copies of the two new CD releases from Roy Hill arrived yesterday, direct from Roy who is feeling a bit sorry for himself after an accident left him with a painful shoulder injury in leafy Sevenoaks in Kent. Hello Sailor is an album of 12 original songs recorded in the mid-70s before the release of his first and only solo album, Roy Hill, in 1978. They are a mixture of acoustic demos and tracks recorded with his Cheltenham friends, The Strolling Players. As the blurb deftly puts it - although sometimes primitive in execution these recordings are charged with the writer-performer's manifest eccentricities, by turns playful, waspish and melancholy. I couldn't agree more. CD number two is Fun With Dave, another twelve tracks, this time from 1983-84 and produced with the aid of David Richards, who later worked with Queen, David Bowie and Michael Jackson, whilst Roy went onto sell massage machines for a living! Such is life. Nevertheless the tracks are at last seeing the light of day and are a must have in my book.
You can purchase the CD's via eBay at Hello Sailor and Fun With Dave. Roy is currently remastering his solo album, produced by Gus Dudgeon in 1978, for a second release very soon, alongwith two Cry No More CDs, Cry No More and Live at the Mulberry Tree. Find out all you ever wanted to know about Roy here.
