{"product_id":"songs-without-words","title":"Songs Without Words","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of Britain’s finest guitarists, Chris Spedding has enjoyed a long career as a solo artist in his own right, a member of many bands and a highly respected session musician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe initially came to public attention via his work on the Jack Bruce album \u003ci\u003eSongs for a Tailor\u003c\/i\u003e and as a member of The Battered Ornaments (featuring Bruce’s writing partner Pete Brown) then the jazz-rock group Nucleus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn late 1969 he recorded the album \u003ci\u003eSongs Without Words\u003c\/i\u003e for release on EMI’s progressive rock label Harvest with a band featuring Roger “Butch” Potter (bass), John Marshall (drums), John Mitchell (keyboards) and Paul Rutherford (trombone).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough scheduled for a release in the UK, the album only appeared in Japan in April 1971, in part due to Spedding’s unhappiness with the musical direction and feel of the album. Despite this, \u003ci\u003eSongs Without Words\u003c\/i\u003e has now become regarded as fine jazz rock record of the era by aficionados of the genre. This new Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered and features a booklet with new essay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esoteric Recordings","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50401538015563,"sku":"2173443","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Songs-Without-Words-Cover-LRG_931010b8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726524687","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/songs-without-words","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
