Prince Of Power Pop-His Very Best (+Bonus)
...
·
Phil Seymour’s story reads like a novel: three young hopefuls from Tulsa in
love with 60s music and determined to bring back melody and pop songs to 70s
rock set off for Hollywood to find fame and fortune. ·
First comes joy as they sign to Shelter Records and crash into the Top 20 in
1975 as the Dwight Twilley Band. Next, frustration as they encounter problems
with their failing record company, and the inevitable split as
drummer/vocalist/songwriter Phil Seymour goes solo. Initially he struggles to
find a foothold but once the new wave hits America, the Phil Seymour Band
storms Hollywood and becomes one of the hottest acts on the circuit. ·
Signed to Neil Bogart’s Boardwalk label, by 1981 Phil is riding high at #22 on Billboard’s
Hot 100 with the self-penned classic ‘Precious To Me’. More terrific releases
follow and, for a while, Phil is the brightest star on the horizon, but
Bogart’s death in 1983 means the end of his Boardwalk contract. He doggedly
continues to make good music but contracts lymphoma and dies in 1993 at age 41.
·
Handsomely packaged with a 20-page booklet sporting rare photos and extensive
notes incorporating exclusive interviews with bandmate Michael Anderson and
recording engineer Bill Cooper, our collection comprises 13 of Phil’s finest
recordings and 11 never-before-heard tracks, including nine terrific demos cut
at producer Richie Podolor’s American Recording studio in Los Angeles. ·
Altogether a fitting tribute to this much-missed Prince Of Power Pop.
