As a fellow Glaswegian I take ever opportunity to sing the praises of the talent of Eric Woolfson. That's was a fabulous chat with Sally, how fortunate for us that we have her curating her dad's legacy. Those boxes are a treasure trove.
Sally has every right to feel immensely proud of her dad, who's high standard of songwriting never faltered.
From TALES in 76 right up to the glorious GOLDEN KEY his lyrics and melodies were peerless. X

This is a very interesting interview that i have go go through a few times to really get a grasp of it all. I really appreciate Claudio for doing this interview and Sally, thank you so much for agreeing to be interviewed. This means a lot to me and other fans.
What i would like to mention to others is that, if you have listened to Tales Of Mystery And Imagination, you should listen to Eric's solo album called Poe (2003) A very good follow up to Tales Of Mystery And Imagination. It's more of a soundtrack type of album, but a really good one.

I have a 7" acetate single from the 1960s of Eric - "Wait For Me" and "Till You Love Someone" are the songs - it is a treasured memento. I was lucky enough to meet Eric in Aachen back in the 1990s, and this interview is fascinating.
I just hope that Freudiana is one day brought back into the fold and given its true place in the line up of albums.

Great interview! Sally seems so nice, it was great hearing all her anecdotes about her dad and all those great albums. I would like to ask her this: How could his dad compose those amazing lyrics, first to be a fan of the great Edgar Allan Poe and his cryptic writing, and then Eric was a great cryptic writer as well, in many of his song writing. What did he knew about our place in the world as humanity? All his lyrics were trascendental, not to mention poetic and amazing. Thanks for this!

Eric Woolfson is a master at creating music that touches my soul. I always thought he should be a name that everyone recognizes. Everyone knows his songs and everyone knows his voice, but they don't know his name. We know Bernie Taupin's name.. I did order the two new boxed sets, Ammonia Avenue and Turn of a Friendly Card. Will also order Eye in the Sky when it becomes available. For whatever reason, I had several APP albums on cassette, and I ended up throwing all those tapes put after being water damaged in the shed. I did have Eye in the Sky on vynal back in the day, and greatest hits albums on CD. Now finally getting back into listening to all the albums again.

What a blessing for Eric Woolfson is having his daughter Sally keeping his legacy alive! Thank you for all the insights, which contribute significantly to admiring and appreciating him even more.
