Old news, great news! A new Brand X musical discovery:
BRAND X's VERY FIRST RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN FOUND!
London, UK, Autumn 2022:
A small trove of well-preserved reel to reel tapes from the vaults has just been rescued by Brand X co-creator Robin Lumley.
Most notable among these are sessions from the band’s earliest recordings in their pre-Charisma days, when Phil Collins joined the jam sessions at Island Records in 1974/75.
Players involved are Phil Spinelli, Pete Bonas, John Goodsall, Percy Jones, Phil Collins, and Robin Lumley. The recording remains untitled to this day. These sessions were deemed lost in time, since Brand X left Island hastily in 1975 (read more in the Brand X History section) to record what was thought to be their first album “Unorthodox Behaviour”. Is it too late to redefine our history?
Among other tapes unearthed by Robin are sessions by Jack Lancaster and Robin Lumley, and early demos from Unorthodox Behaviour sessions, bearing producer Dennis MacKay’s notes.
The question on everyone’s lips is, “Could this warrant a new Brand X release, or Box Set in the near future?” Conveniently, Robin and Percy have recently rekindled old relationships that may hold all the keys.
This website, home of Brand X, will no doubt bring you more news of this exciting event; stay tuned!
