Tippetts, Julie - Sunset Glow CD

Sometimes referred to as a female counterpart to Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt, and rightly so.
For me, this remains her greatest work.
“A newly remastered edition of 'Sunset Glow', the classic album by Julie Tippetts. Julie first came to public attention under her maiden name of Julie Driscoll and had enjoyed commercial success with Brian Auger & the Trinity. Eager to break away from the heavy burden of being in the public spotlight, Julie wrote a series of fine compositions and collaborated with her soon-to-be husband Keith Tippett on the album '1969' and also featuring in his band Centipede.
In 1975 she recorded the stunning album 'Sunset Glow', a record of great emotion and beauty that defied classification. The album sessions featured contributions from musicians such as Keith Tippett, Brian Godding, Nick Evans and Mark Charig among others.
Featuring outstanding pieces such as 'Mind Of A Child', 'Sunset Glow', 'Lilies' and 'Shifting Still', the record is one of the most original works of it's time and remains an artistic triumph. Unavailable for many years, this has been newly remastered and includes a booklet with essay by Sid Smith and is a most welcome reissue of a true classic.”
