Les Fradkin – all vocals and instruments LF: I chose Fellow Travellers because it was a big influence on my writing The Rebirth of Hope and Rehearsals For Retirement on my Reality – The Rock Opera CD, which I sent to Mssrs Brooker and Fisher via 'Beyond the Pale'When I decided to record it, at the invitation of The Palers' Project, I also thought that a Joe Meek Telstar feel might give it a different 'spin'. Of course, in the process, it turned out a bit differently! The instrumentation is two acoustic guitars, electric lead, keyboards, drums and Rickenbacker bass. The lead guitar sound was played through a Rockman. One more Procol connection: Gary Brooker played piano on the Godzundheit CD on the song Weary Blues. Although I don't appear as a musician on that cut, I did re-mix it for release in 1973 when I assembled the Godzundheit LP for issue. Gary was billed as 'The Great Pahene'!The album had no title at the time of Gary's session. It was just a session get-together for the Godz, sometime between 1968 and 1973, if I recall correctly. I believe Jim McCarthy (Godz' guitarist) got him to appear on the date. They evidently must have been acquainted somehow. The song was sung by Paul Thornton. |
