No, not a terminally late April Fool headline but news of
the discovery of Greg Lake
singing Cadence And Cascade. The
unearthing of this pre-Haskell session comes via Robert’s updated diary.
Back
in 2000 when I was interviewing all of the participants in Poseidon recording
sessions, the consensus of opinion was that Greg had finally departed Wessex
studios, leaving Cadence unfinished and thus leading to the recruitment of
Gordon Haskell. And now a rummage in a box last week has proven everyone’s
memories of the sessions to be wrong.
This is an important find as it represents the only other recording (as far as we currently know!) by the line-up that recorded Cat Food and who appeared on the Top of the Pops tv programme.
One can only wonder at what Alex will find next!
