OMEGA RED STAR A HUNGARIAN 6 PIECE GROUP. BACK IN THE 60s THE FIRST POP GROUP TO PLAY BEHIND WHAT WAS CALL THE "IRON CURTAIN" WAS THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP. TO ENABLE THIS IT WAS REQUIRED THAT A POP GROUP FROM BEHIND THE "IRON CURTAIN" WOULD TRAVEL TO AND PLAY IN THE UK, OMEGA RAD STAR WERE THAT GROUP. AT THAT TIME I WORKED FOR 'SPENCER DAVIS MANAGEMENT', A COMBINED POP MUSIC MANAGEMENT AND BOOKING AGENCY CO-OWNED BY SPENCER DAVIS. I HAD JUST FINISHED BEING THE ROAD MANAGER FOR THE FLOWER POT MEN AND WAS LOOKING AFTER BOTH TOUR MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY MATTERS FOR THE COMPANY. SO WAS ASKED TO LOOK AFTER OMEGA RED STAR. THEY SPENT ABOUT 3/4 WEEKS ON THE ROAD PLAYING ALL OVER THE UK. INTERESTINGLY, CONTINUALLY FOLLOWED BY WHAT WE BELIEVED WERE SOVIET SECURITY. I GUESS TO PREVENT ANY OF THEM DISAFFECTING TO THE UK. THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED OVER SEVERAL DAY WITH MYSELF AND TONY CLARK, THE MOODY BLUES PRODUCER, LOOKING AFTER PRODUCTION DUTIES.
