NEW REMASTERED EDITION OF THE 1970 ALBUM BYCHRIS SPEDDING.REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES, WITH A BOOKLET WITH NEW ESSAY AND FULLY RESTORED ARTWORK.REVIEWS IN UNCUT, MOJO, RECORD COLLECTOR AND PROG MAGAZINES AND COVERAGE ON RELEVANT WEBSITES AND FANZINES.One of Britain�s finest guitarists, Chris Spedding has enjoyed a long career as a solo artist in his own right, a member of many bands and a highly respected session musician.He initially came to public attention via his work on the Jack Bruce album �Songs for a Tailor� and as a member of The Battered Ornaments (featuring Bruce�s writing partner Pete Brown) then the jazz-rock group Nucleus.In late 1969 he recorded the album �Songs Without Words� for release on EMI�s progressive rock label Harvest with a band featuring Roger �Butch� Potter (bass), John Marshall (drums), John Mitchell (keyboards) and Paul Rutherford (trombone).Although scheduled for a release in the UK, the album only appeared in Japan in April 1971, in part due to Spedding�s unhappiness with the musical direction and feel of the album. Despite this, �Songs Without Words� has now become regarded as fine jazz rock record of the era by aficionados of the genre. This new Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered and features a booklet with new essay.
