Alan Carvell [ All Mine: The Essential Collection of Alan Carvell ] 2CD [EM1058DCD]

Alan Carvell, the One-Stop Harmony Man.
For nearly forty years Alan Carvel has been making music, and for most of the time it has been music that he really loves. For many of those years Alan was the most respected harmony singer on the UK session scene, working with everyone from Elton John, Shakin' Stevens, Wham, Bucks Fizz, Take That and Sheena Easton. Whilst his voice was used extensively for such acts on tours and recording, this EM records double CD set concentrates on his own work and the sort of sounds that he most enjoyed recording, mostly taken from a very prolific period in the late seventies and early eighties.
