INTERGALACTIC TOURING BAND feat DAVE COUSINS: HEARTBREAKER, Various, 1977 (Not UK)

Not the same as Dave Lambert's "Heartbreaker", but a song of the same name penned for his space opera concept album by Wil Malone, and recorded by a galaxy of stars under the name of the Intergalactic Touring Band. Dave Cousins appears on this track only, taking the lead vocal, and the song is pretty good. Other featured artists include Renaissance's Annie Haslam and Larry Fast (who both played at Strawbs 50th anniversary), Anthoiny Phillips, Ben E. King, Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt (of Status Quo), Arthur Brown, Meat Loaf and Rod Argent.
