He was producing albums with the likes of Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall. He later left Decca to found Blue Horizon Records.
He wrote to me in response to my pitch:
I never followed up. I can't remember why. Perhaps I didn't have a tape-recorder or access to a studio. I soon accepted a job in Corfu instead . It was time I got a proper job! I was hardly aware that there had been a Military Coup in Greece.
What if? I certainly wasn't a Lonnie Donegan, Alexis Korner, Cyril Davies or Mick Jagger, let alone an Eric Clapton or Jeremy Spencer!
No regrets. It's never too late! Did I hear you say "Dream On" ?
Maybe that's why I've still got the Corfu blues...
Decca was a great label in its time.
And then there was that group...The Rolling Stones?
