album-update

Hello my friend thank you for dropping by.I just wanted to update you on things.The recording with Mick Greenwood is finally coming to fruition.I have re-recorded 3 songs and I'm really happy with the outcome though there is one thing that always happens with me in the studio.I usually put down a guide vocal at the start of the recording process which goes on to be saved and that's what has happened this time too.I figured out that,in future, if I sing the song but substitute the words "this is a guide vocal" somewhere in the song then perhaps the producer will let me go back in once everything has been recorded to re-do what was meant to be a just a guide vocal!
Mick has played everything and arranged the backing vocals.It has taken longer than I thought so I've had to put back the release date but I don't mind.It is very tempting to re-record more of my early songs but I want to do another album of new stuff plus I must record the songs I wrote with my sister....ah so much to do, so little time!
love
Claire
ps thanks for the help with the spam thing, I didn't realise I could do it myself! Ps I'm not angry with Mick,it's flattering to think he likes my first takes!

Penthouse Pet !

I thought that would catch your eye! Hi how are you? thanks for dropping by to catch up with this absentee blogger. I've recently been in touch with an old fan who remembers an interview I did years ago with Penthouse.It was in the days when my modest fame was starting to wane, around the release of Abracadabra.Those were pretty dark days in the UK, all three day week madness.
The only press I could get at the time was an interview with Penthouse.I duly did the photo session and word came back from the magazine that they weren't going to run the piece because the pictures were too modest! Yes, this is the music business remember! So I was despatched back to a house near the Kings road to take some more raunchy pictures.This time the photographer started egging me on and the result is a little more risque(half a nipple!) but I can assure you very tame by today's standards!
Well, the furore! I believe someone was sacked at the record company,though I didn't find that out until much later. Understandably I was very upset at the time (I always took myself so seriously!) but not any more! I'd give anything to see that picture again.Does anyone out there have a copy?
love
claire ps back soon....promise... and sorry about all the spam(and the exclamation marks...love em! see!)
