  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2008 .



    • Norman Smith… Hurricane Smith or Normal to John Lennon. Producer and Engineer to both the Beatles and Pink Floyd. A legend in the industry and a performer of a number of hits in his own right. ‘Don’t Let it Die’ was a massive hit and won him an Ivor Novello award, this after The Beatles may or may not have turned it down because it was a little too complicated for Ringo to sing! His style was varied from the vaudeville of his youth to more contemporary influences of the late 60’s and early 70’s.



    • This compilation brings collates two albums: “Hurricane Smith” – released in Northern America / Germany and “Don’t Let it Die” – released in the UK / the rest of Europe / Japan and Australia. This CD includes the singles ‘Don’t Let it Die’, ‘Oh Babe What Would You Say?’, ‘Who Was It?’ and ‘My Mother Was Her Name’.



    • Hurricane Smith will obviously be of interest to Beatles and Pink Floyd fans but he has a large cult following of his own.



    • Gorgeous booklet featuring exclusive sleeve-notes and lots of memorabilia and shots of some rare and foreign singles.
