Following on from the mysterious Monk album that I posted recently, I thought I'd set a little puzzle, and so I'm posting a pop album that could have come out in 1978, and I want to know if anyone can work out who it's by. There are some clues in the titles, and some of the songs themselves, and as an extra hint I can tell you that the backing band is made up of Chris Spedding on guitar, Les Hurdle on bass, Clem Cattini on drums, and Alan Parker on keyboards. I've called the band The Underground Garden, after one of the tracks from the album, and all of the songs have been released officially, but not under the singers name. So before you head off to Google, give it a listen and see if you can work out who is this mysterious singer/songwriter/producer. I will admit that it will probably be aimed more at UK-based visitors who were around in 1978, but everyone can give it a listen, as the songs are all pretty good pop of the period, and were actually quite successful here in the UK.
