SKY - CD GREAT BALLOON RACE

Popis - GREAT BALLOON RACE:
Formed in 1979, Sky brought together the worlds of rock and classical music in a highly successful and inspiring way. Featuring the gifted talents of guitarist JOHN WILLIAMS, percussionist TRISTAN FRY, legendary bass player HERBIE FLOWERS, former Curved Air keyboard player FRANCIS MONKMAN and guitarist KEVIN PEEK, Sky recorded their debut album at Abbey Road studios in the early months of 1979. John Williams departed the band in December 1983 and the group continued as a quartet. In 1985 they recorded the album 'THE GREAT BALLOON RACE' in Australia and London. A fine, if overlooked record, it was in fact one of the most innovative of Sky's later albums. Unavailable for over 20 years, 'The Great Balloon Race' has been newly re-mastered for CD and the original album artwork is fully restored. The booklet features a new essay.
