Ollie Halsall - Lovers Leaping

Unearth the once-hidden treasures of Ollie Halsall with this collection of his unreleased demos from 1979, now meticulously remastered. This isn't just a showcase of Halsall's guitar prowess; it's a revelation of his depth as a singer/songwriter. Distinctly more in the style of Lennon & McCartney rather than his times with Patto, John Cale or Kevin Ayers, these tracks are three-minute pop masterpieces, thoughtfully sequenced to create a seamless album experience. The package features Halsall's own self-portrait on the cover, complemented by an enlightening essay from archivist Barry Monks and a series of rare, unseen photos. A crucial addition for music collectors and enthusiasts, this collection offers a unique glimpse into the artistry of a musician whose genius was ahead of his time. Presented in 6 panel cardboard digifile.
