Description

Prior to his later adventures with The Rolling Stones’ Manager Andrew Loog Oldham recording Breathlessly Brett in 1973-74, 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 eight song collection of previously unreleased recordings is a what could have been for American glam music and is released exclusively for RSD 2019.
