Brett Smiley – Sunset Tower LP RSD 2019

One time LP pressing for RSD. "Prior to his later adventures with Andrew Loog Oldham recording Breathlessly Brett, in 1973 Brett Smiley recorded a session at what was to become Cherokee Studios, in the Valley in Los Angeles (where Bowie would record Station To Station a few years later). Owned by The Robbs, three brothers who had previously been the house band on ‘60s TV music show Where The Action Is (and who backed Brett on the session) and produced by Del Shannon, the session has lain in the vaults till now. This 8 Song collection of previously unreleased recordings is a what could have been for American glam music.
