Description
The cult classic returns -- freshly remastered and pressed to high-quality
180g vinyl for the frst time in decades
Originally released in 1974, Pinball marked the debut of actor-turned-singer-songwriter
Brian Protheroe. Fusing baroque pop, soft rock, and the wry introspection of early '70s
singer-songwriters, the album earned critical acclaim and cult devotion, largely on the
strength of its title track -- the haunting, theatrical ballad 'Pinball' -- a UK Top 30 hit
that remains one of the decade's most singular singles.
This defnitive reissue has been meticulously remastered from the original tapes,
bringing new depth and warmth to Protheroe's rich arrangements and velvet vocals.
The album's production -- a lush, cinematic mix of strings, woodwinds, piano, and
understated rock instrumentation -- shines more than ever in this new pressing. For
fans of Scott Walker, Harry Nilsson and Al Stewart, the record has been an infuence
on legendary artists such as Noel Gallagher, Morrissey and Paul Weller with the latter
covering the album's title track for his forthcoming covers record.

oddities that deserve a reappraisal or a proper introduction.
