Description

Here it is- the rumoured Paul Giovanni album from 1970! Paul Giovanni is famous for the haunting music written for the classic folk horror film The Wicker Man that featured landmark performances by Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward. He is the singer on Gentle Johnny and is seen in the crowds humming at the end of the film's climax on that cliff edge.
It was rumoured he did record another album  a few years previous to his Wicker Man soundtrack but no one ever saw a copy - until now.
It is called 'Side Show' and features the following tracks:- (7  of these songs are either written or co written by Paul)
