This series was dedicated to the late great Gary Brooker (29/05/45 - 19/02/22) as well as to the famous ship ‘Queen Elizabeth 2’ which, it was assumed, must have brought both Bill Wyman and Gary Brooker over the Atlantic because of their mutual fear of flying. However, it seems through Bill Wyman's diaries that at least Bill took a Virgin flight from Heathrow to New York City on August 2, but we still don't know how Gary Brooker came to the US and how both of them went back. Therefore, good ole QE2 is still a possibility. Anyway, the Rhythm Kings line up consisted of Bill Wyman on bass, Gary Brooker on keyboards and vocals, Georgie Fame on keyboards and vocals, Terry Taylor on guitar and backing vocals, Martin Taylor on guitar, Albert Lee on guitar and vocals, Graham Broad on drums, Beverley Skeete on vocals, Janice Hoyt on vocals, Frank Mead on sax and percussions, Nick Payn on sax, flute and harmonica. This is a very good but lossy recording, so not much was needed, just adding some more treble, deleting some microgaps between tracks and reworked tracks transitions.
