Elvis Has Left The Building
(Super Deluxe Versions)
RELEASE DATE: 12th Dec 2022
V1 feat Steve Waterman
V2 feat John Etheridge
I'm recording a new album due out in 2023 with the brilliant players from my first album and it is a real honour to be joined by the phenomenal John Etheridge on electric guitar and Steve Waterman on trumpet on some of the tracks. They join Steve Lodder on Hammond, Karen Sharp on tenor sax, Davide Mantovani on bass and Marc Parnell on drums.
Whilst we were in the studio I couldn’t pass up the chance to revisit “Elvis Has Left The Building” from my last album. These two versions with John and Steve are the result of a couple of those sessions. They are similar but quite different in vibe - the idea was that one would be for aficionados of the trumpet, the other of the electric guitar.
The artwork on the single and album is by the fantastic Anthony Macbain who I’d been corresponding with for about five years prior - finally he had a slot!
There's a wonderful animation of the artwork by Aaron Cornette on YouTube
Thanks for listening
