Waiting for Albert

Mike Figgis Four

1 Waiting for Albert 36:55

Regarding the sound quality: “Part of the charm of the recording, & zeitgeist of the times, is just how distorted it is. Those early recordings had auto gain controls. So sudden loud noises flood the track……& the auto adjusts accordingly.” Mike Figgis (September 2020)

The People Band and its small groupings regularly played and gigged at Wood Green Arts Centre. On this and many other gigs and occasions Terry would bring his son Paul Skoulas, who would play drums with the People Band & groups, as can be heard on the introductory passage of the music. This recording is amongst Mike Figgis’ favourites. Paul Skoulas plays drums on first part of track.
