Silverbird (half-speed Master Edition/180g) Description

In a career spanning 50 years, Leo Sayer has sold more than 80 million records worldwide. 'Silverbird' is Leo's incredible debut album, originally released late in 1973, reaching #2 in UK Albums Chart and includes the debut single 'Why Is Everybody Going Home' and the hit 'The Show Must Go On' (#2). Co-produced by Adam Faith and David Courtney, 'Silverbird' was recorded at several locations including Virgin Records' Manor Studios, The Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey's Barn Studio and Apple studios. Following another successful UK tour in Autumn 2022, Leo Sayer has recently been on tour in the USA for the first time in decades; a country that took him to their hearts with two #1 Singles and a GRAMMY Award and although he now has Australian citizenship, Leo remains one of the UK's great singer/songwriters and performers of all time. This 50th Anniversary celebratory half-speed master version has been newly mastered by Phil Kinrade, and expertly cut using transfers of the original audio tapes using precision half-speed mastering by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering, London and is pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, with a 4-page insert containing the lyrics.
