Clifford T Ward - "The Kinver Sessions 1968-1972 CD
A highly collectable CD featuring Clifford T Ward tracks that have not previously seen the light of day! This CD contains material recorded at a small studio in Kinver between 1968 and 1972. This was at a time when Clifford T Ward was attempting to get his big break which eventually came in 1973 when he got to number 6 in the UK Charts with "Gaye", and number 1 in other parts of the world.
The quality of
these recordings is not up to the standard of professional studios, due to
modest equipment being used to record on, together with a "stick it down,
don't bother about a bit of hiss" approach of the recording engineer, not
realising at the time how important these recordings would become over the
years.
Tracks: 1.
Lady With A Book In Her Hand, 2. Buy Me, 3. Cartagena, 4. Western Europe,
5.Wishin' An' Hopin', 6. The Good From The Bad, 7. I've Got The Time, 8.

The tracks are
in date order. The early ones first. With the exception of four tracks, all are
Clifford T Ward originals. The last three tracks are hilarious snippets of
Cliff fooling around in the studio. There is a high-quality sleeve with
comprehensive notes outlining the history and players on each track, plus
highly interesting photographs of that era and musicians involved. The CD
Sleeve is an 8-page pull-out booklet including the front and rear cover. The
front cover shows the Kinver road leading to the studio, and the titles on the
rear cover show the studio and house in the background where these recordings
were made.
This CD has
got to be a "must have" for all Clifford T Ward enthusiasts.
