UK collection. John Cameron is truly one of the greatest and most recognizable British arrangers of the '60s and '70s. He came out of the British jazz scene, playing live as a teenager with the likes of Dick Heckstall-Smith. Moving to London, his first arrangement job was Donovan's 'Sunshine Superman' - Cameron came up with a unique jazz-folk single with proto-psychedelic leanings that went to #1 in America and made him an in-demand arranger overnight. The Donovan connection (Cameron arranged virtually all of his '60s recordings) led to work based around woodwind for Francoise Hardy and Julie Felix, but he was happier working with a full, funky brass section - in the '70s this led to classic hits with CCS, Hot Chocolate and Heatwave, as well as some of the most influential and heavily sampled KPM library recordings. This is the first ever compilation of John Cameron's arrangements. It has been compiled by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley, following his hugely successful CDs of arrangements by Thom Bell ("Ready Or Not") and Norman Whitfield ("Psychedelic Soul"). It has thorough sleeve notes, unseen photos, and an interview with Cameron himself.
