Description

Around the second anniversary of Chas Hodges passing, his son Nik began going through Chass multi- tracks and picking the pieces that he felt his dad wouldve considered finished and ready to be heard by all. Back in 2007, Chas had bought himself a digital hard-disk multi-track portastudio recorder, which allowed him to make fully-produced recordings rather than just rough demos, playing all the instruments himself.

So here are fourteen previously unreleased wonderful gems ten original songs and four covers. The originals include instant classics like Street Games and Rock n Roll Allotment, as well as two songs written with the Only Fools And Horses West End musical in mind, Trigger (Is What Im Known As) and What You Got You Gotta Show It.

The standard I Cant Give You Anything But Love is given the unmistakable Chas Hodges treatment, and the album ends with his touching rendition of The Beatles/John Lennon classic Im So Tired.

The artwork includes personal notes by both Chass wife Joan and son Nik, as well as previously unseen photos.
