Everybody has
a fantasy. Most people have more than one. The problem is most people keep
their fantasies a fantasy and others bring them to life.I've had several
fantasies in my life. Since I was about 10, I wanted to write the score
for a Broadway musical. So far, the closest I got was an off Broadway musical,
FIVE AFTER EIGHT. I also wanted to put
out an album of my own songs and make it somewhat autobiographical and
somewhat fantasy at the same time. That album is called,
WHOSE FANTASY IS THIS? and I produced and recorded this in 1985 at
my home studio, MIDNIGHT MODULATION. I put the album
on my own label, WILDLIFE RECORDS.
Since I live near Woodstock, NY, I got some of the best musicians to help me with it- John Sebastian, Ralph Carney (Tom Wait's sax player), Vinny Martucci (Digital- Dolphins), Leslie Ritter & Amy Fradon, Eric Parker (Joe Cocker's drummer), and many others. |

I pressed 1,000
albums on virgin audiophile vinyl-yes, vinyl. In 1985, vinyl was still
king and cds were just making a small impression. The warmth of vinyl won
me out and the fact that I could put the photos on a huge 12" jacket
& sleeve was alot more appealing than the tiny CD jackets. I'm selling
the remaining copies of WHOSE FANTASY IS THIS? for a mere$10pp - each one
is numbered and, if you like, signed. If you own a turntable, this may
just be the last record you'll ever buy.
Full lyrics for all the songs are included on the sleeve. There will be a cd available early next year for $10. The music, what can I say, is very eclectic - sort of theatrical pop./rock. The women-GINGER, THERESA FROM CLUB MED, LISA'S EYES, MONICA and the others, are all real. I pour my heart out on this album- and I think it shows. |
A cassette version
is also available (it's less dynamic) for $10pp. It is, like the album,
an audiophile tape. It cost more to make.
Simply put, I pour my heart out on this album. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE YOUR FANTASY AND WIN AN ALBUM? |
