Anthology Vol. 1

Teichiku Records (made in Japan) • 1991 • TECP–40880


A double CD released in Japan 1991.

This is Volume 1; I don't know if Volume 2 was released.

Great booklet with all the lyrics included. Lyrics have some beautiful mistakes (eg AWSoP: "The room was humming hotter – as the ceiling flew away" or the far more difficult A Christmas Camel where just dots show some of the problems: "Some Santa Claus like ... knows – And treats my ears to ...") which made Gary Brooker laugh when I showed him this CD backstage in Oslo, February 1992.

I guess there's a poor Japanese who has listened to the flurry voice of Mr Brooker and tried to understand what he's singing. Sometimes this can be quite difficult for a foreigner.

Thanks, Per Wadd Hermansen
