Barry Ryan - Sings Paul Ryan, Eloise etc. (1969) 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip

Just one baton flourish away from Orchestral-Pop perfection. Paul Ryan's dazzling ambitious music, packed with dizzy key and tempo changes, has a very beautiful, distinct turn of chord and Johnny Arthey's huge and equally bold arrangements leap and bound about the orchestral palette entirely sympathetically. Best of all the voice at the front of this lovely mayhem was not of the mature, velvet variety so often heard fronting such extravaganzas but husky, impish and sexy as hell. The devil-may-care bravado of Barry Ryan's boyish vocal technique sets it apart from other such ambitious soundscapes, tearing up any potential pomposity accusation with its rough and ready humanity. Rough, ready and pretty as a picture! Blackmore4, rateyourmusic.com

Thank you SOA! I just know the song "Eloise", but it means great memories. The words "orchestral-Pop" made me think about Eric Carmen, especially his first self-titled solo album.

Thanks, Eloise is prog pop at it's best.

"Elloise" was the sonic tapestry,
on which we flew in the seventh heaven.
The soundtrack to my first love affair;-)
And to my first crash-landing! lol
Thank you dear s-o-a!
A really great job!!
Sounds very well.

Cheers from Berlin:-)

^^Kisses for RS^^

drool - eloiiiiiiiise, my eloisa ...

almost drove my parents nuts when i discovered barry ryan in the 70s an a young teen :-). the other contributing factors were mainly elvis and neil diamond. neither of them was exactly my folks' preferred cup of tea, nor was the successing bunch of hard rockers. still assume to this very day i was exchanged erraneously for some other newlyborn at the hospital!

think it was one reason why i was presented with an excellent pair of 'sennheiser' headphones for christmas including a matching VERY long extension cord so i could jump around my room.

thanks bunches, SOA, from somebody who gave away her singles and LPs some time in the early 90s :-(.
