about

Track 0644: IN HAPPIER TIMES (Hodgson) 2:52 (JOHN HODGSON) (8th April 1983)
Musicians: John Hodgson – piano
Recorded: South Sound, Norton – stereo cassette recorder, 2 remote microphones
In August 1982 I moved from Roseberry View in Thornaby to South Road in Norton, before long I had an acoustic piano installed in the front room and used it often to compose and to record home demos.
One of the first was this ditty. Nigel asked me to write a poppy instrumental, so it was written to order. Quite why he wanted it I can't recall, but I was pleased with the result, and the band rehearsed it in the days following this recording.
I noticed at these rehearsals that Richard was acting strangely and he seemed unsettled, which came to a head soon after.
