Roy Hollingworth's prediction about the great Paul Buckmaster.

"Melody Maker" columnist Roy Hollingworth had already figured it out, and in December 1970 he wrote a brief prediction of the success that the brilliant musician, composer, arranger, and producer PAUL BUCKMASTER would herald. 

By that point in his career, Paul had already worked with Third Ear Band live and in the studio, David Bowie, Elton John and Leonard Cohen, but within a few months he would be a major contributor both to the composition and realization of the TEB's "Macbeth" soundtrack, but also to that misunderstood masterpiece that is Miles Davis' "On the Corner," also released in 1972... Later, History attested that Hollingsworth's prediction was correct and today it continues to be a great regret for many friends and fans to have lost a personality of this stature. The pretext of this little archival find allows us once again to remember and celebrate him as we should.

Paul Buckmaster talks to Roy Hollingworth in 1970!

You thought Ghettoraga Archive had left the scene? Nothing could be further from the truth!
Here is an interesting interview of Charles with the great Paul Buckmaster, from an issue of Melody Maker dated December 26, 1970... with a rare photo of the four-piece line-up.
While I'm busy digging into the history of the Edgar Broughton Band for an upcoming book, finds related to the glorious Third Ear Band experience continue to emerge from the dusty archives of popular music history. 

Stay tuned to these pages - you're in for a treat!
