Recorded in April 1972, "A Story Ended" was the debut solo album by COLOSSEUM saxophonist DICK HECKSTALL-SMITH. Recorded upon the demise of Colosseum, the sessions featured contributions by JON HISEMAN, MARK CLARKE, CHRIS FARLOWE & DAVE GREENSLADE of the band, along with GRAHAM BOND (of whose ORGANIZATION Dick was a member alongside JACK BRUCE & GINGER BAKER), CHRIS SPEDDING and lyrical offerings from PETE BROWN. A superb example of Jazz influenced Progressive rock, the album appeared on Bronze Records in 1972 and is now hailed as a classic of the genre. This ESOTERIC reissue features three live recordings as bonus tracks and two studio tracks by the band MANCHILD featuring Dick Heckstall-Smith, James Litherland, Dave Rose, Billy Smith and Theodore Thunder. |
