Richard (Wright / David) Harris - Identity 2019

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. One of the most intriguing pop music partnerships of the eighties makes it's return - Rick Wright, one of the founder members of Pink Floyd and who played keyboards on their multi-million selling albums joined forces with Dave (formerly Dee) Harris, best known to music fans as the former singer and guitarist with electro-funk band Fashion. This album which was recorded at Wright's home studio and Utopia Studios in North London in '82/'83, utilises the Fairlight Computer, which has the ability to recreate the sound of any musical instrument. The new partnership was born out of a Greek holiday that Rick Wright had in 1981. At that time Dave Harris has just left Fashion - "I supposed you could put it down to the usual 'musical differences' - and was looking for fresh ideas. Unfortunately, certain legal problems had to be ironed out first - and then there was also the question of mastering the Fairlight. Dave Harris says "when we started recording it, we didn't have any pre-conceived ideas of how it should be done, and we certainly didn't try to create a sound. The whole thing just evolved quite naturally". "There will probably be a lot of Pink Floyd fans interested in what Rick had been doing, and equally I'm sure that a lot of Fashion's followers will want to know what I've been up to".
