PAICE, ASHTON & LORD - Live 1977 (Sealed) (CD)

Paice, Ashton & Lord was a short-lived British rock band featuring Deep Purple band members Ian Paice and Jon Lord with singer Tony Ashton. The band was formed in 1976, released it's only album in 1977 and broke up in 1978. The band recorded their debut album Malice in Wonderland at Musicland Studios in Munich in September and October 1976. The record was released in February 1977. The music included elements of rhythm and blues, funk and soul, with several tracks featuring a brass section and backing vocals from Sheila and Jeanette McKinley. Despite some critical appreciation, the album was not a great commercial success. A second album was planned but was not released. This live recording of a 1977 Paice Ashton Lord concert in London was first released in 2006 as a tribute to the late Tony Ashton. It was recorded live on 10 March 1977 at the Golders Green Hippodrome, London.
