ALAN WHITE - 1976 Ramshackled

ALAN WHITE :

30 Years drummer for "YES"...played for J.Lennon,George Harrison,Ginger Baker,J.Cocker,Alan Price,Billy Preston and many more...

Alan White was born in Pelton, Co. Durham, in northern England, on June 14th, 1949. He started taking piano lessons at the three years of age, but, encouraged by one of his uncles who also was a drummer, he was given a drum kit and he took lessons, leaving them later to find his own style of playing. He started playing in local bands, and by the age of thirteen he had become a professional musician.This album is the only solo work from Alan in 1976 along with"YES" album "Relayer"when most of the band decided to do some solo works.

Very rare to find and a very nice album from a great musician!!
