Brian Protheroe - Pinball [Red]

The cult classic returns with a vibrant breath of fresh air - Brian Protheroe's Pinball, now beautifully remastered and pressed on high-quality 180g vinyl for the first time in decades. Originally released in 1974, this album showcases Protheroe’s transition from actor to singer-songwriter, fusing baroque pop, soft rock, and the charmingly introspective narrative style of early ’70s music.

Pinball is particularly renowned for its title track, a haunting ballad that resonated strongly with audiences and secured a spot in the UK Top 30. This definitive reissue, part of the Chrysalis Red Series, has been meticulously remastered from the original tapes, revitalizing Protheroe’s lush arrangements and velvet vocals. The rich soundscape, flanked by strings, woodwinds, and understated rock instrumentation, glimmers more radiantly than ever.

Fans of Scott Walker, Harry Nilsson, and Al Stewart will find much to cherish in this gem, as it has not only shaped their musical landscapes but also influenced iconic artists like Noel Gallagher and Morrissey, the latter of whom is set to cover the title track.

Available on vinyl for the first time since its original release, this remastered edition promises to transport listeners back to the golden era of music while honoring Protheroe’s legacy. Don’t miss this chance to add a piece of musical history to your collection!
