London 1971.

This photo was taken in our friend Joan's flat in
Barnes, London. Joan was an assistant to the producer for the B.B.C. and managed to take us to see Andre Previn in rehearsal and show us the "Z-cars" set. She also worked on "All Creatures great and small" and "Doctor Who" just to name a few. I also saw my first synthesizer there. It was a monster in size and filled a large room. Jimmy and I had just recently recorded the Country Pie album "By Request". I believe that to be one of the very first albums recorded on "Philips" brand new 8-track machine at the Marble Arch Studio. Arthur Frewen was the producer. Gordon Loughton played bass and Tony Halligan was on drums. That was the Country Pie's lineup for most of it's existence.
