The Paris Album

bandcamper-11 When I heard this band in Hamburg back in the 1980s as a 20 years old seeker it was such a deep happy experience - this music, made by these megacreative, warmhearted and funny people - it was like finding my true family in this strange world… I regretted my fault to sell my Hand signed copy of the „Paris album“ later for 3 decades, cause I nowhere could buy it!! Finally I find it here - and can give back my tribute to Mike Westbrook, Phil Minton and all that genius crew!

marco-oselini This is such a great album! I love it! The music goes from jazz to calypso, new orleans stye... And the singers are AMAZING

dynabert A long-lost 80s concert staple that somehow never made it onto any other Westbrook album. Favorite track: Long John Brown and Little Mary Bell.
