Description
This 3 disc CD boxset including booklet with extensive liner notes titled 'Old Feet, New Socks: The Many Faces Of Wil Malone 1965-72' captures those early years of Wil Malone's work from Robb Storme, The Orange Bicycle, Barnaby Rudge, The Wilson Malone Voiceband, Barnaby Rudge and Fickle Pickle.
Pop polymath Wilson Malone - multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, vocalist, producer, arranger - has achieved cult acclaim for his early work in the soft white underbelly of the British pop industry, being responsible for a number of highly collectable singles and albums during the psychedelic and progressive rock eras before recording the soundtrack to the 1972 British horror film Death Line (retitled Raw Meat for the American Market) and working with such storied names as Cliff Richard and Roger Daltrey. However, genuine heavyweight success didn't arrive until some thirty years into Wil's career, when he provided the striking string arrangements that underscored major Nineties hits by The Verve ('Bittersweet Symphony') and Massive Attack ('Unfinished Sympathy'). His work has been featured in movies, TV shows, and commercials. His contributions to the soundtracks of various media have helped create mood and atmosphere in visual storytelling.
