THE   UNLIKELY  ANDY  NEWMAN  PLAYED  TERRIFIC  PUB-STYLE   PIANO   AND   LOOKED
MUCH LIKE A POSTAL CLERK, WHICH IN FACT, HE WAS. JIMMY McCULLOCH, THE GUITARIST,
LOOKED  TO  BE  A  MERE  TEENAGER,  AND  SO  HE  WAS.  IT  WAS  THIS  COMBINATION, PLUS
THE    PRODUCTION    EFFORTS  OF   PETE  TOWNSHEND,  THAT   RESULTED   IN   THE   ALBUM
“HOLLYWOOD  DREAM”.    AS  THE  NOW-CLASSIC  SINGLE   “SOMETHING  IN  THE  AIR”   HAD
LONG   PRECEDED   IT,    THE   ALBUM   DELIVERED   THE    GOODS   IN   A   SIMILAR  FASHION,
FUELED   BY   KEENE’S REEDY  VOCALS  AND  NEWMAN’S   CHARMING  HONKY  TONK  PIANO.
“HOLLYWOOD DREAM”  HAS  REMAINED  AN  ANGLOPHILE  FAVE   --   UP  FOR  AUCTION  THE
ONLY ALBUM  RELEASED BY THIS  BRITISH  BAND  PRODUCED  BY  THE  WHO’S  GUITARIST &
SONGWRITER  PETE  TOWNSHEND  WHO  WAS ALSO  RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAND’S  INITIAL
FORMATION  AND  PLAYED  BASS  CREDITED  UNDER  THE  PSEUDONYM  BIJOU DRAINS... THE
DISC IS GLOSSY, HARDLY PLAYED CONDITION ,  GATEFOLD COVER WITH LYRICS INSERT.
