{"product_id":"clowns","title":"Clowns","description":"\u003cp\u003eOverlooked 1971 album from classically trained British composer Ed Welch, featuring lyrics by American folk icon Tom Paxton. Welch's sophisticated arrangements, from refined orchestration to elegant piano-led melodies, meet Paxton's warm, inviting words across ten songs that move effortlessly between upbeat pop and tender balladry. Often compared to the Elton John\/Bernie Taupin partnership, the Welch-Paxton collaboration produced songs later covered by Cilla Black. This first-ever reissue, produced by Michael de Albuquerque and remastered by Prof. Stoned, includes two non-album A \u0026amp; B sides and an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Xander Pas and recollections from George and Michael de Albuquerque.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Think Like A Key Music","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57199900885323,"sku":"R2239-0453","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_4c1daec7-693a-445a-9dcc-735f18569653.jpg?v=1777807886","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/clowns","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
