From 1979 to ’82 Robin George recorded at the Old Smithy Studio in Worcester. During that time he worked closely with the late Daniel Boone (aka Pete Green), and was part of the Byron Band, (ex Uriah Heep). He also managed to record a number of tracks, these included numerous (now) legendary musicians and writers. So, through Cherry Red, Robin’s earliest recordings will get a proper release in June. These 24 original recordings were shelved as Robin would sign to Arista and release the 6-track mini-LP History in 1983, and then signed to Bronze to make the Dangerous Music album in ’84.
