Track 0256: WAITING FOR THE NEW DAY (Hodgson) 1:46) (JOHN HODGSON) (c.June 1978)
Musicians: John Hodgson – organ, vocals
Recorded: Roseberry Studios (site 1) 2 track reel-to-reel tape recorder
Another demo intended for Bop, but this time I played it on a small electric organ borrowed from my sister Ann.
Although not taken up by the band, this song itself, or to be more precise, a song based on the same chords, would, many years later, be played simultaneously on both the Chris Moyles breakfast show (three times in two hours), and BBC Radio Five Live, making a total listening audience of probably ten million people in the UK. Unfortunately I didn't have it for sale at the time so couldn't capitalise on the airplay. But that's for the future.
