SMOKIE-STRANGERS IN PARADISE-1982-THE FIRST PRESS HOLLAND-RAK-1A-064-64743. Matrices A-1/B-1 . A rare European original. In early 1982, the last album for EMI Strangers in Paradise was released. The album failed in the charts, and it became clear that the members could not recreate their success using their own material. Shortly after the release of Strangers in Paradise, work began on two albums, one of which was released as a Smokie Midnight Delight album, and the other was Chris Norman's solo album Rock Away Your Teardrops. But that Smokie album, that Norman solo album sold poorly. It's amazing how time changes a lot, currently the album is considered one of the rarest and most coveted by fans of the band.

Lord considered the possibility of creating a work that would combine the features of classical and rock music. Deep Purple manager Tony Edwards decides to go all-in and reserves the Albert Hall for September 24, leaving John Lord about six months to write the score.
