Review by Escenarios Creativos
Clive Oxford's self-titled album has been making waves in the music industry since its release. The album features a unique blend of folk, rock, and blues, showcasing Clive's exceptional songwriting skills and powerful vocals. With a total of 10 tracks, Clive Oxford takes listeners on a journey through various emotions and experiences.
The opening track, "Runaway," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. The song is followed by "Broken Dreams," a heartfelt ballad that showcases Clive's ability to convey emotion through his music.
One of the standout tracks of the album is "Lost in the Night," a hauntingly beautiful song that highlights Clive's vocal range and storytelling abilities. The melancholic melody and poetic lyrics are sure to resonate with listeners.
Another notable track is "Into the Wild," a foot-stomping anthem that features a driving beat and infectious energy. The song is a perfect example of Clive's ability to blend different genres seamlessly.

"In 1980 I was working in an Art Cinema in Brixton, London. It was an all night affair; art movies, 'B' movies etc. There was no music in the intermission so one day I played one of the tapes I'd made and a month later the owner of the cinema told me that many people in the audience were asking where they could get this music, so he put up the money to release it. It was recorded using an Old Hammond Organ, tape loop echo box and and a Revox tape recorder. It topped the 'Independent charts' in London for a while and the record company asked me for more - of the same!
I didn't want to do that and while music has been a constant companion, I never recorded anything after that. However as I enter my sixty first year I feel the urge to record again! You never know! I'll keep you informed.
Best wishes, Clive"
From a private 2009 conversation (hope Clive don't mind):
"God knows where the master tape is! Sorry. As far as I know, no-one else has any rights on the material. As far as pictures are concerned, I have none that I can offer you I'm afraid. Not much help, so far!
The music was recorded in my room using a Hammond Organ, tape loop Echo Box and Revox Tape recorder. The vocals were added/recorded at a friend's (Ed Sirrs, also known as "Woodhouse Monroe"; check out his 'rare' singles - one called "I think I think too much") house.
The 'lyrics' are taken from the British Film Institute Directory of Films; the music (without lyrics) was first used/ played in one of the first art-house Cinemas in London as intermission music, where I was working as a projectionist, usher, ticket seller, coffee and cake seller! I decided it would be nice to have music between films and the owner of the cinema agreed. Audiences began asking for copies of the music, so the owner of the Cinema, Pat Foster put up the money for a limited pressing of 1000 records. I designed, made and printed the cover myself and after Charlie Gillett played it on the radio it reached Number 1 on the Independent Charts. The distribution company (I don't remember their name) asked me to produce an album, but I declined. Don't really know why!!
