This album is our tribute to an eccentric, a charmer, an unsung 60s hero... The character that is Graham Dee has lived an incredible life. From surviving the East London Blitz to playing with Pink Floyd & Jimmy Page, Graham has done it all, and this compilation looks into his life story through music.
He was in A&R at Atlantic Records, signing artists and producing their songs, as well as playing on sessions that included Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones pre-Zeppelin. One of his tracks, ‘A Love I Believe In’ almost went to number 1 after Tony Blackburn proclaimed the single "Record of the Week". At this time, Graham was working with the likes of Georgie Fame, Elkie Brooks, Mike Berry, to name but a few, and even stood in for Syd Barrett for some Pink Floyd gigs. He eventually left Atlantic after damaging studio equipment whilst practicing hunting archery, accidentally shooting into the office and terrifying staff.
Many of these tracks bring back specific moments from Graham's life, and involve many similar stories. These stories provide the context for the tracks, and this gives the compilation a certain spirit. Now in his 60s, Graham Dee continues to write, record, play and release solo records.
