Munich, 8 October, 2020 (APA/OTS) - Tribute to John Lennon: If the
former Beatles star was still alive, he would have been 80 years
old tomorrow. On the occasion of his birthday as well as the 40th
anniversary of his death, INTERSOUND re-releases the legendary
album "A TRIBUTE TO JOHN - NORMAN CANDLER PLAYS JOHN LENNON" from
1981 on its label MEMORYLANE.
"A TRIBUTE TO JOHN - NORMAN CANDLER PLAYS JOHN LENNON" was
immediately considered a masterpiece when it was first released in
1981 and celebrated worldwide successes. Original sound engineer
Gerhart Frei took the tapes out of the INTERSOUND archives,
thoroughly modernized the recordings and adapted the sound to the
present. The newly mixed tracks by Norman Candler and his band
MAGIC STRINGS now shine with strong drum and bass elements. The
reduced reverb makes the songs appear delicate and even more
powerful.
Candler had already based the instrumentation in 1981 on the
Lennon originals: In "Power to the People" he uses rocking electric
guitars, in "Happy Xmas (War is over)" a folky pan flute takes over
the vocal melody - fitting to the double meaning of the piece,
which is both a classical protest song and a Christmas carol. For
Beatles fans, the album also includes two bonus tracks from Candler
albums from the early 70s with "Hey Jude" and "Eleanor Rigby".
As arranger, conductor and bandleader of the MAGIC STRINGS,
Norman Candler already created a distinctive style of grandiose
symphonic and contemporary pop in the early 70s. The double sound
of two powerful string orchestras combined with driving pop rhythms
established him over decades in the easy listening programs of ARD
and many worldwide radio stations.
