Leo Sayer / The Fantasy Years

4LP clear vinyl • Overseen by Leo • Comes with a SIGNED print

Leo Sayer is set to release a third vinyl box set in his series of ‘years’ themed collections next month. The Fantasy Years 1979-1983 follows previous boxes The Hollywood Years and The London Years and also completes his first decade of success with Chrysalis Records.

The albums contained are 1979’s Here, 1980’s Living in a Fantasy, World Radio from 1982 and Have You Ever Been in Love, which was issued in ’83. Each record will be pressed on heavyweight 180g clear vinyl and the box will contain a period-appropriate signed print.

While no longer quite enjoying the level of success that he’d be used to across the 1970s, with hits such as ‘When I Need You’ and ‘You Make Me Feel Like Dancing’, the anglo-Australian pop minstrel was still popping up on Top of the Pops with occasional hits, and The Fantasy Years still has a few pop nuggets such as the hits ‘More Than I Can Say’, ‘Orchard Road’, the Ivor Novello winning ‘Have You Ever Been In Love’ and the Bee Gees-written ‘Heart (Stop Beating In Time)’.

Here was produced by old mucker David Courtney, while Living in a Fantasy saw Leo team up with Alan Tarney, who would go on to produce most of a-ha’s first album, Hunting High and Low. In fact, after the Arif Mardin producer World Radio, Christopher Neil co-produced Have You Ever Been In Love with the returning Alan Tarney. Neil worked on about half of a-ha’s fourth album East Of The Sun West Of The Moon. So there you go!

The Fantasy Years 1979-1983 is released on 11 October 2019 (was 27 September).
