Allan Taylor - Down the Years I Travelled (2012)

Hier nun ein neues Doppel-CD Album in buchähnlicher Aufmachung mit fast 60 Seiten Erklärungen, Fotos und Songtexten: eine Song-Auswahl aus vier von Allan Taylors mittlerweile vergriffenen CDs.

Wir haben 20 Songs aus dieser Zeit, in der Allan noch nicht bei Stockfisch produzierte, remastered. Interessant ist auch die Liste der damaligen Mit-Musiker: z.B. Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span), Maartin Allcock (Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull) oder Mike Silver.

Außerdem hat Allan Taylor noch den Titelsong dieser Doppel-CD geschrieben und mit Lutz Möller am Piano im Stockfisch-Studio eingespielt: "Down The Years I Travelled ?"

Allan Taylor: "The albums from which this collection of songs was taken were made between 1984 and 1995. This was without doubt the most creative period of my life. During this time, apart from writing and recording the songs for the albums, I was touring extensively, playing clubs, concerts and festivals throughout the world, and working on various projects for the BBC."

"Certain styles of recording have changed since those days, such as the type of reverb used, but overall the technical quality is superb. Günter Pauler, Hans-Jörg Maucksch and Inés Breuer of Stockfisch Records have done an excellent job in collating and mastering the chosen tracks. They have worked to their usual high standard of excellence to produce something that I had hoped would one day happen - a "best of" from my T Records years."
