RhoDeo 1143 Goldy Rhox 43

Hello, today the 43rd post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock, in the darklight a UK artist that had a hard time selling this album, in the end he found an entrepreneur planning to start a recordlabel, it became its first release and a launchpad for a space industry 35 years later, a very smart and colorful entrepeneur indeed. Now it would be disingenuous to state if todays mystery album hadn't sold many millions of copies he'd never gotten of the ground but money multipliers and the reputation he garnered from it made it possible for Sir Richard Branson to go a long way, he did very well.

Meanwhile todays mystery artist needn't be pitied but this album overshadowed the rest of his career, recently he got his rights back (after 35 years) and he's rereleased the album in several new formats, not that it hadn't been rereleased and remastered by the previous rightsholder, EMI todays mystery album is the 25th anniversary version. As a typical EMI snub just before they had to release the rights, a cover-mount deal with a sunday newspaper let them add 2,7million discs with the album for the friendly price of half a million into EMI's empty bankaccounts.

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

As Halloween is only days away, i thought something to get in the mood as todays mystery album became the haunting theme to what was the horror movie of 1973, The Exorcist, there was some real synergy there. Still not sure why 'holy' water and the cross would impress otherworldly intruders, these are clearly placebos for the focused mind of the exorcist. ( Any shaman could tell you) . Todays mystery album stayed 5 years in the UK charts , taking a year to reach no 1. The piece was later orchestrated by David Bedford for The Orchestral version and it had three sequels in the 1990s. Finally, the album was fully re-recorded at its 30th anniversary version in 2003.
