[bigred]Roger Nichols & The Small Circle Of Friends[/bigred]
[lilred]February 21, 2005[/lilred]



Essentially the very holy grail of L.A. soft pop, this 1968 album is a must own for fans of this highly collectable genre.

Produced by the legendary Tommy LiPuma, the album was largely co-written by Roger with Paul Williams (his future co-writer on scads of 1970's megahits) and Tony Asher (fresh from his collaboration with Brian Wilson on Pet Sounds); sung by Roger with Murray and Melinda MacLeod and backed by a virtual Who's Who of California pop of the time with such luminaries as Lenny Waronker, Van Dyke Parks, Bruce Botnick and Randy Newman.

Includes full involvement from Roger Nichols and songwriting partner Paul Williams and new interviews on the album with collaborators Van Dyke Parks, Lenny Waronker and Randy Newman.

Never before on CD in Europe or the US, with some tracks not appearing since their original single releases. Also includes Roger's first single, ‘St. Bernie the Sno-Dog’, for the first time ever on CD or anywhere for that matter!

Lavish booklet features rare photos, label repro’s, a full sessionography and the liner notes tell the full Roger Nichols story as never told before!

Mastered to sound fantastic, packaged to look fabulous and with many never seen photos and full involvement from the artist and friends; this is the supreme Soft-Rock collectable in the DeLuxe form that fans have been longing for!
