I went into WH Smith Newsagent and Store in the Railway Station
there was a Ultimate Guide To Paul McCartney £9.99
Went back the next Day all 50 got SOLD
I was Shocked
and worried I will not get one
Found one copy in another Railway Station WH Smiths store.
Lucky me.
Around 1980, 1982
Paul and George Martin
Hired Stanley Clarke and Steve Gadd
for Pipes of Piece.
Big Budget LP's
as Paul a great member of the Beatles.
Its a WH Smith UK Special Copy
by UNCUT MAG GROUP.
Exclusive Sold in Busy WH Smith Stores in UK
WH SMITH also supply all other UK stores.
So Sad to see "The Drummer " UK Mag close a few years ago
it had Billy Cobham on the Front Cover in Smart Business Clothes
I managed to find a back copy.
WH SMITH now want stores to only Sell what they can sell
No returns etc.
Cost Effective
But all these Big Thick £9:99 Mags Sell Out Fast
I hope they do a Billy Cobham / Lenny White / The Late Alphonse Mouzon/ Narada /Ndugu
Edition in this £9:99, Special Editions
As those 3 first drummers connect in the Jazz - Rock Fusion World.
So much More than any other Drummers.
And the Great Late Tommy Bolin
and Doug Rauch are with Billy and Lenny and Alphonse LP's
The Great late Alphonse Mouzon also played with the Late Jaco on Al DiMeola's LP
Mahavishnu Orchestra , Return To Forever and the 11th House all played in one long gig
in USA and UK back in the Early 70's.
Narada Michael Walden is important as his 1st LP
is Amazing and of course sat behind Billy Cobham
as he was playing in the final Mahavishnu Gigs (ref : from Billy Cobhams DVDA /DTS Spectrum WEA special edition )
And then Narada learnt from other Top Producers
to become a Big Shot Producer for Aretha Franklin , and many stars.
Ndugu Chancler also became a Cool Producer/ Drummers /Percussionist
he was in Santana band 1976
when Dave Rubinson was the TOP CBS Producer.
Who had that Cool Engineer Fred Catero.
Mid 1980's Ndugu took over as Drummer with the Crusaders band.
And on a Ronnie Foster 2nd CBS LP track "feet"
Dennis Davis is on Drums ,
Ndugu on Timbales and Cow Bells
Fantastic break.
Also Ndugu informed us in a Drum Mag
he was the 2nd Drummer on Marvin Gaye's 1972 Trouble Man LP
with Stix Hooper also on Drums.
