Just A Boy

Telepath Train Bells Of St Marys One Man Band In My Life When I Came Home This Morning Long Tall Glasses Another Time Giving It All Away Bonus music - Praise The Land (session recording and used in Budgie TV series) Reasons (session out take) Bonus audio - Leo's Story Part 2 - Leo presents his own story talking about his beginnings, in conversation with David Courtney and play extracts from some of the album demos. The follow up album released to capitalise on Leo's success in 1974. It was preceded by the release of two singles One Man Band (Uk no.6) and Long Tall Glasses (Uk no 4.). The former hit was very much how Leo saw himself at the time as a singer/songwriter, a wandering troubador carrying his songs around with him singing for his supper. Just A Boy was the hook line from the song Giving It All Away which had been written for Roger Daltrey, and which Leo now recorded his own version for this album. Again the album has a similar feel to his debut album, very personal lyrical songs, sung with impassioned vocals and often accompanied by quite sparse yet very melodic piano/guitar backing. One of the extra tracks Praise The Land was recorded during the album sessions and was used in the TV series Budgie which starred Leo's then manager Adam Faith. The other extra is Leo's version of a song that ended up on the Daltrey album. The album made no. 4 in the Uk chart and no. 16 in the US chart with Long Tall Glasses also becoming his first US hit reaching no. 9. One of the extra tracks Praise The Land was recorded in a session on its own and was used in the TV series Budgie which starred Leo's then manager Adam Faith. The other extra is Leo's version of a song that ended up on the Daltrey album. Original album plus bonus music tracks and specially recorded audio track with Leo interview. Package includes essay by Chris Welch and photos plus memorabilia from Leo's own archive.
