gaz, I've probably asked before, but how familiar are you with Widescreen and his 2 other Epic releases from '74 thru '76? Some genius stuff there, IMHO.
Not familiar in the slightest, I'm afraid. What've I missed? Know if the stuff's in print?
long outta print, but some wonderful, clever adult pop (not for nothing was he called "the thinking man's Barry Manilow"; Barry covered his "Studio Musician" on his live LP). There is a Rupert Holmes Collection best-of on CD that has most of the pertinent tunes, but a few good ones remain MIA.
on further investigation:
Widescreen has (finally!) been reissued in a "collectors edition" featuring many bonus tracks from his second LP,
Rupert Holmes. His 3rd album, the delightful
Singles, is still out-of-print. I'd recommend that reissue, I think you'd really like it.
