Pinball and Other Stories

Pinball and Other Stories is the first-ever Brian Protheroe compilation, capturing Brian's poignant ability to marry the observational with a joyful flair for lyrical wordplay. Of course, Brian is best known these days as a stage and television actor, but back in September 1974 the hit single of "Pinball" kicked off an association with Chrysalis Records. As a particularly British singer-songwriter, Brian explores loss, the nature of identity, feelings of detachment. there's no 70s excess, no pointless musical window dressing. Brian's songs are framed by an elegant musicality that ranges from the sombre to the gleefully uninhibited. Pinball And Other Stories finally recognises this timeless talent. EMI. 2006.
