Available now. This was Chris Braide’s second solo album. On the liner notes of the reissued limited edition vinyl David A. Stewarts writes: "I met Chris Braide in London when he was only 24 years old, yet he was so mature as a songwriter and a consummate musician. Chris could sing and play any of his songs effortlessly on piano or guitar and he and I spent many days and weeks at Church Studios experimenting amongst the vortex of creative chaos that tends to surround me and I could see that Chris was soaking up everything and enjoying being amongst lots of other crazy artists. Chris could sing like a bird and he also could attract a lot of birds too! He had the whole package..amazing musician, great songwriter, fantastic voice and if that wasn’t enough he looked like a young Marc Bolan! So after a while I marched him off to Greenwich village in NYC where I bought him a silver glitter guitar and we spent time in the Jimi Hendrix Studio Electric Lady where in the early hours of the morning we staggered out with a great album. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it!" Dave Stewart, Los Angeles, 2012. 250 copies, in a gatefold cover and pressed on transparent red heavyweight vinyl.
