Paul Raymond, songwriter, keyboardist and rhythm guitarist of
legendary cult hard rock outfit UFO has inked a deal with Cherry Red
Records' new hard rock imprint label Hear No Evil for his new solo album
with The Paul Raymond Project.
The
new album, entitled "Terms & Conditions Apply" is set for a worldwide
release on January 28, 2013. It will mark the sixth release by
the group and features a guest appearance from Michael Schenker (MSG, UFO,
Scorpions) on a cover of ‘Reach Out (I’ll Be There)’ and by Reuben Archer
(Stampede, Wild Horses, Lionheart, Lautrec) on ‘Love Is
Blind'.
Paul
Raymond is set to play some select regional solo UK shows to promote “Terms
& Conditions Apply” in the New Year, including a special headline launch
show at London’s Borderline venue on Friday 1st February, before resuming his
duties touring with UFO. The shows will feature Stampede vocalist
Reuben Archer amongst other special guests and will showcase the new material as
well as UFO classics. Regional dates are yet TBA.
Paul
Raymond is primarily best known for his work in UFO, having joined the band’s
ranks in 1976. Beginning with “Lights Out” in 1977, to date Paul has appeared on
11 UFO albums, including the incendiary double live “Strangers In the
Night”. In a varied career, he’s also been a key member in a
number of acts, including 70s legends Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack, Michael
Schenker Group and Waysted.
The
Paul Raymond Project (PRP) was first formed in 1989 in Japan featuring original
lineup of Frank Di Mino (formerly of Angel) on lead vocals and Masoyoshi
Yamashitu (Loudness) on bass. Paul spent 1990 writing new
material, inspired by the resurgence of straight-ahead blues/rock led by bands
such as the Black Crowes and the Quireboys, until, joined by guitarist Andy
Simmons, the third incarnation of the project released “Man on a Mission”
through Zoom Club records. It was to be nine years before Paul and
Andy joined forces again and recorded “Virtual Insanity” as UFO had once again
intervened. In 2010, together with bass player Mark Coles and drummer Tony
Steel, they began working on “Terms & Conditions
Apply”.
