A Passion Play

(1973)

“The ‘step too far’ album. we decamped to the Château d’Hérouville in France where elton had recorded, and had a rotten time: technical issues, gastric bugs… we just wanted to go home. So we did, and had a frantic few weeks of writing a new album. Two pieces made it on to the war Child album and one or two morphed into something more sophisticated, but they never came to light on that album. Steve Harris [iron Maiden] loves a Passion Play. i’m glad someone liked it!”
