Desperate plea for help identifying a track...
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2022 5:49 pm
Hello everyone.
I'm new on the forum, but long long time fan of Gordon and his work. In fact "Fear of the Dark" is my fav instrumental of all time!
Anyway, I need help !
Here is the story...
Back in 1978 or 79, I was a 14-year-old loving the music of the day. No internet etc, so it was either Dial-a-Disc or record it off the Telly/Radio. I had a Grundig Tape recorder and a handheld mic.
On some show or other of the time (on TV), a guest artist came on. I instantly loved the track - leapt for the mic and started recording...
I still have the cassette 40+ years later with the handwritten note that the track is by the Gorden Giltrap Band...
Except... it isn't! Back in 1999/2000 I asked, and Gordon emailed me to say nope - it isn't me! - I still have not found this track or who it is by.
Maybe someone here knows or can give me suggestions on who it might be. My theory is if you like Gordon, you may know this group. It does sound like the Gordon Giltrap Band (similar in style to Inner Dream) - except it has a lead singer, obviously, that's a rarity for the group.
I've put it on youtube with info on what I've tried over the years to identify it. So if you have a spare 2 mins & 13 secs
please head on over and see if you can come up with any ideas.
This has been an ongoing 40 year search - almost a hobby !
Any help or ideas much appreciated.
