David (as he then was) Palmer provided wonderful orchestrations for several tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nI kissed goodbye to the saxophone after the final sessions and returned, to the relief of all, to the flute as my principal wind instrument of choice. Of course, my flute did feature on several of the WARCHILD tracks, but I always saw the album as representing the best of my sax-playing and being an important part of the instrumentation, especially in the slightly sleazy, clubby material of the title track.

Featuring recordings made between 1969 and 1975, it’s now reissued on vinyl to celebrate the album’s 50th Anniversary as part of the “Spirit of ‘76” campaign, celebrating the best music released that year. Featuring “Teacher”, “Aqualung”, “Locomotive Breath” and “Living In The Past”, it also includes the non-album song “Rainbow Blues”. This special edition has been cut as a half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road; the source master and cutting lathe run at half-speed, allowing for greater precision and sonically a better high-frequency response.
