Marty Willson-Piper - In Reflection (RSD 2025, Blue LP Vinyl)

"In Reflection" is the debut solo album from legendary guitarist Marty Willson-Piper (The Church, The Saints, All About Eve) and was released exclusively on Chase Records in Australia in 1987. It has never been released on vinyl since, until now. The album was recorded in it's entirety in an apartment on Bondi Beach on a Teac A-3440 4-track tape machine using a Roland rhythm arranger and the Sydney Morning Herald hit with a drum stick for the snare drum sound. As Willson-Piper states "This was early daze for drum machines, and getting the pattern you wanted wasn't that easy, and such a machine was not on my radar. All the simplistic techniques involved in creating this music, along with the instruments used, are detailed in the booklet. Recording alone and 'dropping in' an instrument meant putting a heavy book on the record button of the remote control and dropping it in using your sockless big toe on the play button, engaging record mode. Those were the days." Available exclusively for RSD 2025 on limited Sea Blue Transparent colored vinyl.
