  • Description

    Along with Genesis and Van Der Graaf Generator, Audience were one of the key bands on the roster of the Famous Charisma Label in the early 1970s.

    Comprising Howard Werth (Vocals, Electric Nylon String Guitar), Keith Gemmell (Saxophone, Clarinet, Recorder, Flute), Trevor Williams (Bass, Vocals) and Tony Connor (drums, percussion, vibes), Audience had a fanatical following, particularly on the continent, where their jazz-influenced brand of Progressive Rock proved popular (earning the band Top Ten status in Italy).

    Lunch, released in February 1972, was the bands final album of the 1970s and reached number one in Italy. Produced by Gus Dudgeon, the album featured contributions from the legendary saxophonist BOBBY KEYS and from Trumpet player and Trombonist JIM PRICE who completed the album following the departure of Keith Gemmell from the band mid-way through recording sessions.

    This Esoteric Recordings reissue includes three bonus tracks and has been remastered from the original Charisma master tapes. It features a booklet with restored artwork and an essay by Sid Smith with an exclusive interview with Howard Werth.
