Notes
Composer's note: I was 'discovered' playing in the Ad Lib Club in Leicester Square and given an audition by EMI Records at Abbey Road Studios as a result of which I made this album, notable for its early use of stereo effects and double-tracking. I composed two tracks for it, played all the keyboard instruments on it, composed the original numbers: 'The Shark' and 'Theme from 'H' , and made all the instrumental arrangements.
