"HANK" is OUT

Postby Stratpicker » 30 May 2014, 15:14

Got mine!!
Top quality packaging - a full size CD case encased in a hard cardboard sleeve. well designed inner sleeve. The CD itself has been printed to resemble a 45 vinyl record - neat touch.
The Music - 14 excellent tracks. So much better, IMHO only, than Guitar Man which was quite good anyway.
I have my favourites already and there are 2 that I'm not keen on, but thats just me.
Cheers

Hi All
My copy arrived from Leo's Den this morning, only one word to use - BRILLIANT. Like Ian, I feel that there are a couple I could do without at the moment. Waterloo Sunset is my favourite after the first listen but I'm sure that will change at least 14 times over the next few weeks but overall a superb album.
Thanks to Pat, John & the team at Leo's for getting it to me three days before the release date.

Jim :D :D

Interesting note (to an Anorak like me anyway) - when you put it on to play the CD it comes up with the title -
HANK MARVIN - "SUMMER GUITAR".

For one or two reasons, this might be the first Hank Marvin album that I buy since the year 2000...

'Summer Guitar' was originally the title of the album but it was changed to 'Hank ' after it had been mastered.

Mine too arrived this afternoon - such a surprise to get it 3 days early - Big Thanks to Pat, John & the team at Leo's Den :D
Just had a chance to listen to all the tracks - Had a taste from the 90 second samples that Ian told me about via Itunes.
In my opinion its the best CD Hank has made since Guitar Player - Guitar Man has some great tracks but all of these are exceptional ! (IMO)
Hank has a really up to date sound for the 21's century - far less echo more up front sound and the tone on the songs is superb, just a slight bit of edge - No more 0-36 on the Q2 for this album! Lol.
A very big input from Ben who is a superb guitarist ! - In Hanks own words he's "Much better than me" makes this CD a really great one.

BT of Waterloo Sunset on it's way in a couple of weeks (all being well )

Cheers Phil
