A Capella Let's Sleep Late - Peter Skellern

George Harrison, no less, said this of Peter Skellern " I think out of the English people I've heard so far, the best...is Peter Skellern. He reminds me of Harry Nilsson, full of potential" Melody Maker 6/9/1975.
He was that impressed he played the guitar break on one of the tracks ("Make Love, Not War")
The Nilsson comparison can be heard on this track where he appears to perform all the acapella vocals himself.
Because of a few crackles I have shortened the Let's Sleep Late section.

Peter Skellern - terribly underrated - a truly great talent and a dam fine chap. I think I will have to play a lot more of him on my Show...

I worked on this track with Perer, every voice you hear on this track is Peter's, a truly talented guy.

As I was born in 1965 and had someelder brothers, I listened to some old things as for example Peter Skellern: it was A great thing to be in it. Thanks Peter. You are in my heart.

Superb transitions amongst minor, diminished and augmented harmonies. For more of Skellern's huge musical talent, seek out and seize (if you can) 'Oasis', the 1980's album compiled with Mary Hopkin, Julian Webber and Bill Lovelady. Some gorgeous songs, some of which have made their way to YouTube.
