Dennis Waterman - Downwind Of Angels

[drakula63]

I've got the album on vinyl, along with its 1977 successor, 'Waterman'. Both produced by the inimitable Brian 'Benbo' Bennett with Hank providing guitar on the latter. Personally, I like them. Strangely enough, I was only showing them to someone this morning...

I shall play them both later.

I have a Spanish single by Dennis Waterman called "Louise" b/w "Something Called Love", which feature Hank and Brian and also Terry Britten, I think. These two tracks are also on the album "Waterman". It's a pity these albums are still strangers to CD.

I read somewhere, I'm sure, that Dennis and Brian had been talking about bringing them out on CD. I might be wrong, but I am certain that is, or maybe was, the case.

I did indeed listen to 'Downwind of Angels' last night -- a great album. There are at least three or four tracks, the title track included, which are, IMHO, exceptional. Alan Hawkshaw is on synth on at least one track and the string arrangements are by Steve Gray. He had a good voice, Dennis, and it's a shame he only ever had one hit -- years later with the theme to Minder. Still, to me he'll always be Sergeant George Carter from 'The Sweeney'. The BEST british cop series ever...

(P.S. Ivo, seeing as how you posted the last message, your CDs are now on their way...)
