'SOOP#1' was a fun project, concocted by my wife and I over an Italian meal. Over the years (usually as some sort of experiment in the studio) I'd been prone to recording a version of a personal favourite. Sometimes I attempted to emulate the original as an experiment to see if I could employ the recording or arranging techniques used on the original. Sometimes I did it because I believed I could improve upon the original (not that the original wasn't great!) I just thought there was another interpretation in there, somewhere.

Not long ago, a few friends suggested I release an album of those songs. I had a listen to a few of them and realised there was some good stuff and an album might help to clear out my archives! So we decided to make a limited edition album, with a pressing of 500, and sell them ourselves. The project exceeded all expectations, selling out much quicker than we expected!!

Thus began the 'S.O.O.P' series. I plan for this to be an ongoing thing as I truly enjoy recording covers. They are low pressure ways of lightening myself up in the studio.
