Synopsis

Album Description

2008 collection from the musician best known as producer and engineer to The Beatles, Pink Floyd and others. A legend in the industry and a performer of a number of hits in his own right. 'Don't Let it Die' was a massive hit and won him an Ivor Novello award, this after The Beatles may or may not have turned it down because it was a little too complicated for Ringo to sing. His style was varied from the vaudeville of his youth to more contemporary influences of the late '60s and early '70s. This compilation brings together his first two albums Don't Let it Die and Hurricane Smith and includes the singles 'Don't Let it Die', 'Oh Babe What Would You Say?', 'Who Was It?' and 'My Mother Was Her Name'. Hurricane Smith will obviously be of interest to Beatles and Pink Floyd fans but he has a large cult following of his own and these albums have not been available on CD outside Japan. 7Ts.

CD Reviews

Here's What I Say

Tony James | Canadarocks | 12/20/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I love the underdog, the underappreciated and the underplayed artists, primarily from the 70's.Thats why I like to write these reviews, to keep their music alive. Norman "Hurricane" Smith is one of those artists. He was a producer with his name on Pink Floyd and Beatle albums. His biggest hit musically of course was "Oh Babe, What Would You Say", the almost vaudvillian vocals reminiscent of "Winchester Cathedral". This is a good album, you just have to familiarize yourself with the tunes to appreciate it. The first step is to have samples available. The next is to add it to your collection. Enjoy."

"A great collection of Hurricane Smith recordings.

It makes you appreciate the past and it gives you

a little history of his recordings and his own

insights on the recordings."
