1978 Duncan Browne – The Wild Places
The Wild Places is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter and musician Duncan Browne. Released in 1978 through Logo and Sire Records, it is Browne’s first solo album since his departure from the band Metro that year, and features contributions from session musicians Tony Hymas, John Giblin and Simon Phillips. In contrast to his previous self-titled solo record, the sound of the album is fully electric and ranges from progressive rock to straightforward rock music and synthpop.
The record achieved moderate commercial success. It has been long out of print in the United States and was reissued during late 2000 in Japan.

You are kidding me! I’ve owned the 7″ picture disc of the title track since it was released, simply because I loved the record, but the “Simon” factor adds a whole new dimension to it! Thanks Jan!

I was surprised too, during my research.
