DARYL HALL SACRED SONGS NEW CD

Description: Additional Information from InnerSleeve Product Description This 1999 reissue contains two bonus tracks taken from Robert Fripp's EXPOSURE LP. Personnel includes: Daryl Hall (vocals); Robert Fripp (guitar). Includes liner notes by Robert Fripp. All tracks have been digitally remastered. In what must be the most bizarre coupling ever, Hall is accompanied by none other than King Crimson figurehead Robert Fripp on production and, of course, on guitar. This record suffered at the hands of record company mismanagement. Originally recorded in 1977, Sacred Songs wasn't granted a release until 1980. RCA worried about Hall's lack of commercial vision. However Hall and Fripp's creativity strangely works. Sure, there are pieces that wouldn't do as singles, but for an album regarded as being so uncommercial, there are plenty that could have been: the wacky title song, "Something in 4/4 Time," "Farther Away," and "Why Was It So Easy" (the latter being one of Hall's best ballads). Most bonkers of all is "Babs and Babs," a straight-ahead Daryl Hall track until a Fripp soundscape kicks in from nowhere! Fripp's own "Urban Landscape" shows him having withdrawal symptoms from Bowie's infamous Heroes sessions. The onward march of studio technology means that the sound here is slightly dated. Still, it's a must-have purchase, ending with another killer ballad "Without Tears" -- Earth magic indeed. ~ Kelvin Hayes About InnerSleeve We offer unbeatable prices, quick shipping times and a wide selection of vinyl.
