The Wurzels
EMI
Note NTS 122
Release
Date: April 1977
Golden
Delicious was
The Wurzels' third album, and their first studio album
(the previous two being recorded live); it was also
their first album on the EMI label. The album was the
second best selling Wurzels album (after its predecessor)
reaching #32 in the album
charts.
Band
line-up: Tommy
Banner
(piano, organ, accordion, vocals),
Tony
Baylis (bass, bass guitar, sousaphone
and vocals) and Pete Budd (banjo,
guitar and vocals).
Producer:
Bob Barrett
Recording Engineers: Phil Chapman and John Kurlander
Recorded at Olympic Sound Studios, Barnes and
EMI's Abbey Road (London) Studios.
Mastered at EMI's Abbey Road (London) Studios by Harry
Moss
Stings & horns arranged and conducted by Ed Welch
The
sleeve notes also say: 'With thanks to Sue Martine and
Andy White'. Andy played drums on previous two Wurzels
albums, so one can assume he did the same on Golden
Delicious. Sue's input remains more of a mystery,
but one would presume that it is her voice heard on
the song School Days, Young Days.
