None of them is finished yet - there are still a lot of lead vocals to do, plus all of Ashley Mulford's guitars, Kim Turner's percussion and Geoffrey Richardson's violas and sax solos. Amongst the pieces to be heard is a rough mix of a new piece by Woolly entitled "Nimrod".</p> <p>The plan is to release not one but two new concept albums - the first is to be called <b><i>BC – Ancestors</i></b> and will cover "the heroic age of our ancient ancestral history (leading up to the birth of Christ)". The second album will be entitled <b><i>AD – Sangreal</i></b> and concerns itself with "the Romano-Spanish legends surrounding the Holy Grail (minus King Arthur)". </p> <p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/mandalaband3"><b>www.myspace.com/mandalaband3</b></a></p> <br clear="left"> <p> <br> <br> <br> <h2>Woolly Contributes to New Mellotron Book</h2> <p class="newsdate">16th June, 2008</p> <p>Desert Hearts’ new book on the Mellotron featuring a wonderful interview with Woolly on life, the Mellotron and everything, is due to be published on September 1st, but special preview copies may be ordered now direct from Desert Hearts, and will be available from Monday July 14th.

In 1959 Smith started at Abbey Road Studios as a tape operator (as did Alan Parsons some time later) before becoming an engineer, working on all of the recordings by The Beatles until 1965 when EMI promoted him from engineer to producer. He produced Pink Floyd's <i>The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn</i>, <i>A Saucerful Of Secrets</i> and <i>Ummagumma</i>, and The Pretty Things' <i>S.F. Sorrow</i>. In 1971 he began making his own records under the name Hurricane Smith and scored hit singles such as "Don't Let It Die" and "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?". He was active into his eighties, issuing a new CD including re-recordings of his hit singles in 2004, and publishing his memoirs, <i>John Lennon Called Me Normal</i>, in 2007. <br clear="left"> <p> <br> <br> <br> <h2>Award Time For John And Woolly</h2> <p class="newsdate">3rd March, 2008</p> John and Woolly will be travelling to Germany this week to be presented with a Lifetime Award for their musical achievements.

The acetates (heavy test discs made for the band and a few record company executives) were a single-sided pressing of "Early Morning" and a double-sided disc of "Early Morning" and "Mr. Sunshine", and sold to a collector in Switzerland. <p> Amongst the other BJH items up for grabs on the same site is a copy of <i>The Barclay James Harvest Story</i>, our biography of the band which has been out of print for some time. See the <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220143985980&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=012">eBay auction page</a> for details. The site is well worth watching for the BJH fan, as they frequently have deleted CDs and vinyl on auction. <p> <br> <br> <br> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 06:36:07 -0800 RSSPECT-00369481
