Keats

Backdated, archival post

---&---


To-day I listened to Keats' eponymous and sole album because - according to Russo's Collector's Guide - it was released to-day in 1984. 
I haven't done any work yet in trying to figure out the parts (this was only the second time I've listened to it), which is actually a good thing because I've decided to switch the banner it's under.  At the beginning of the year, I started an-other one of these blogs for the Alan Parsons Project (although I haven't done as much work on that as I have on this project), and since Keats is more of an APP side-project than a Zombies side-project, it makes more sense to put it there.  The only Zombies member Keats has is Colin Blunstone, but three of the four other Keats members were mainstays of the APP session musicians - Ian Bairnson, David Paton, and Stuart Elliott.  Additionally, Eric Woolfson was involved in putting the band together, and Alan Parsons produced the album. 
Switching the blog that Keats is on is also beneficial because it avoids confusing their "Tragedy" and Argent's "Tragedy" in the tags.  However, there will be a slight complication with "Turn Your Heart Around" - a Keats song that Blunstone re-recorded for his On the Air Tonight album.
 Just an administrative note; I'm adding the Keats album here.
